FLoRIDIANs FEEL HURT.
An Open Letter Addressed T.
President Harrison.

An Open Letter Addressed to
President Harrison.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 27.-Eds
itOr Hawthorne, of the Times Vi MON,
publishes an open letter to Presidents
Harrison stating that the people Of
Florida regard the presidents let.
ter to Attorney General Miller with
surprise and a deep sense of injury.
They are convinced that the states
ments it contains about resistance to
legal process in Florida must have been
based upon misinformation as to the
actual state of affairs in the counties
named. This misinfOrmatiOn probably
existed in the reports made to the de,
partment by the officers OF the court
for this district. Mr.. Hawthorne pro-
ceedS to cast discredit upon those
reports by asserting that District judge
Swayne openly boasted that the policy
of his court would be one of bitter per-
secutlon of Democrats. This threat put
the Democrats OH the defensive and
provoked widespread suspicion Of
Judge Swaype's tribunals. The letter
goes on to recite that the United States
jury commissioner flagrantly disc
eliminates against Democrats, % out Of
twenty-three members of the grand
Jul UCihS
dictments against Democrats for politf.
cal offenses were found, on most unre-
liable testimony. This reused the
people to Indignation and fear. In the
cases that came to trial the courts
rulings were often partisan. No
wonder the people of the eouD.
ties referred to shrink from ap-
pearin for trial before such q
court. OF that they preferred the hard.
ships of cOncealment to the dangers OF
unfair trial. These people are industri.
Gus and law-ablding. They have been
terrorized by the political schemes to
which they have been subject. This ac-
counts for their reluctance to admit
process, but they have been grossly mis-.
represented in other respects. They
are not inhospitable to thh marshalS.
The writer has the statement of eleven
of the marshals' posse that they were
treated like gentlemen at Madf.
son. where, it has been alleged. they
were refused accommodations. II tho
court is cleansed of partisanship and in.
justice so tn at it merits the cOnfidenc6
of the people, it will meet no resistenceS
obstruction or invasiO n.

Ice as Clear as Crystal and
as Solid as a Rock Falls
in Baltimore.
Thousands of Dollars Worth
of Glass Smashed by the
Ragged Stones.
People Become Panic Stricken
Over the Tremendous Fall
of Ice.
Texas Is Visited by the Most
Destructive Flood in It's
History.

BALTIMORE, April 81. - Baltimore
was bOmbarded this afternoon between
$40 and O'Clock by hail of size and
destructive power never before seen in
this city. The hail was not like the
snow-coated hail, but was plain, hard
ice, frozen through and through, clear
as crystal, and solid as a rock. 1t went
through thick panes of glass as if they
were tissue paper, and the amount OF
damage done by it can only be figured
up when all the broken paneS are
counted ana the glass sellers bills are
paid. The loss will run up into the
thousands. Some of the hailStOneS were
ragged and sharp on the edges as
steel blade. Hens eggs were nothing to
them in size. Many of them were as
large as mans fist. The storm came
from the west. was local in its charac-
ter. and swept to the east with rattle
like heavy musketry, frightening peo-
out of their wits, and hitting those who
were on the streets many ha1d
knocks, and driving them into
places of shelter. The storm
came all at once, like thunder
bolt. There was a perfect Niagara of
water, with hailstones-or, rather,
chunks of lce-weighing, some of them.
a quarter of pound. Almost in an IN
slant the streets were rivers, the pave
ments were flooded from two to three
inches deep, and a man who remained
on the streets was almost in danger of
losing his life. The heavy chunks of
hail drove the horses wild. Those
that pull the street ears became uncOn
trollable, and the drivers were COM
PEELED to let them have their own way,
and they ran at their own free will.
The people in the cars became panic
stricken, and many of them crouched
trembling on the floor of the cars, pray
ing for rescue from the elements, while
the drivers lodged the aerial missiles
the best they could. All over the city
the damage was heavy. No glass that
met the full force of the hail was strong
enough the stand the cobble-stone-like
blocks that came out of the sky. Charles
street windows looked as if they had
been on battlefield, and in the houses
on Mount Vernon place, the damage
was very considerable, and the alarm
was unusual. In the annex, the rain,
wind and hail did even more severe
damage than in the city. Walls were
swept down, houses unrOOfed, glass
smashed and other damage done.

An Embezzler Escapes.

DENVER, Col, April 27.-W. 81. Bald
win, agent of the Santa Fe at Lowell,
Kan. absconded Friday with $1,000 be-
longing to the road. Through some

him arrested. Just before the message
was received Baldwin entered the gen
eral offices OF the Santa Fe, and asked
for employment as telegraph operator.
While he was in the office the message
asking that the absconder be arrested
began to come in over the wire. Bald
win quickly detected the purport of the
message, and, clearing the rail about
the telegraph desk, made his escape.
Four detectives are on his track.

Charlotte, n. O.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., April T.-Sam
Jones preached three sermons to-day to
audiences of 5000 at each meeting in
the tabernacle. In the afternoon in
sermon to men 5000 were present. The
evangelist created sensation and
aroused the indignation Of the old
Christians by denouncing- the Goth of
May celebration of the Mecklenburg
declaration of independence as founded
on myth and nothing but drunken
frolic. The Goth of May is a legal
holiday in North Carolina. At the SER
mon tonight Mr.. Jones said that his
charge in the afternoon that the Meek
lenburg declaration Of independence is
a myth he had since learned was an
egregrious error. He apologized humbly
for sIandering a noble people, and said
those Philadelphia people had imposed
on him in the matter, and when he got
back to Philadelphia again he would
stamp the feathers out of them for i'm
posing on him about the Mecklenburg
declaration of independence.

States senate short time since by Sem
ator Moody relative to the payment to
the states of per cent of all moneys re-
ceived by the general government from
the sale of public lands prior to state
hood. The figures at the United States
land Office for the Huron district show
that nearly $155,OOO will go into the
state treasury from lands sold in the
Huron district alone. If the other land
Offices in the state-Aberdeen, Dead
wood, WatertoWn, Yankton, Mitchell,
etc.-give figures approximating those
for the Huron district, the total amount
of money that will come into the state
treasury by the provisions of Senator
Moody's bill will not be far from 81, ,OOo.-
600. 1t is devoutly hoped that Senator
Moody will succeed in securing the
