AT A CANP-MEETISG.

About half the citizens of the place were
attending a camp-meeting at DAVIS CITY,
ten miles distant, IN grove on the banks
of Grand river Fully 5000 people were In
attendance. The storm struck the grove
suddenly and in a moment all was dark as
night Huge foreSt-trees swayed and fell
crashing to the earth, and broken branches
were hurled bv the wind through the
crowded assemblage with terrific force.
The tabernacle WAS crushed under the
weight of two giant oaks. and oil the seats
and stands were demolished. Several
cottages were also damaged, some being
unroofed and others being crushed by
fallen trees.
NO ONE KILLED.
In spite OF the suddenness and force OF
the gale. however. no one was killed and
only a few Were slightly bruised by flying
debris. 1t is feared that when reports are
received from the country districts they
will bring news of loss of life Such news
as has been received is TO the effect that
the damage to crops is heavy. Corn has
been beaten to the earth, stacks have been
blown away, and fences demolished.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

Several of our State exchanges are
inquiriug why the West Virginia dele
CATION did not vote for w. L. WILSON?
1t would have been the height Of
folly 20 have placed Mr.. WLsON's name
before the caucus at any time prior TO
the final ballot. The friends Of the
active candidates had no thought Of
desertion to a dark horse, 50 long as
there was any hope for their fayorites.
Mr.. WILSON recognized this and prop
erly refused the use OF his name. II
the deadlock had continued so as to
have made it impossible to elect either
Of the leading candidates, Mr.. WILSON
would have been the choice Of ma
jority of the caucus, sure. But it was
not TO be and that was the end Of it.
The question has been asked how it
came about that ANDERSON aud PEN
D'EToN voted for CRISP, and WILSON
aud CAPEHABr for MILLS?
That is a question that can be an
swered accurately only by the gentle
men themselves. 1t is easy, however,
TO make guesses as to the cause. 1t
might have been that Mr.. WILSON,
serving so long upon the Committee of
Ways and Means with Mr.. MILLS, knew
most thoroughly the ability, courage
and capacity OF his colleague, and pre-
ferred him for that reason to all others.
One can readily understand too, how
kindly Messrs. ANDERSON and PENDLE-
TON felt toward Mr.. CRISP for the splen-
did battle be made in their behalf, as
chairman OF the Committee on Elections
in the last House, when the Republi-
cans were determined at all hazards TO
fire them. CmsP's great fight saved
ANDERSON and came near saving PEN
DLErON. Naturally they must have
felt grateful 10 their gallant champion,
and where no principle was involved,
believed in q practical exemplifcation
Of that highly cOmmendable spirit.
As for Congressman CAPEHART, he
was independent of all obligations ex-
cept to his constituency, being just
from his people he must have known
what their wishes were and voted ac-
cordingly, and OF course voted right.
