MANY PEOPLE KILLED.

Deadly Work of a Tornado in RheR-
ish Prussia-A Hall and Fifty
Houses Destroyed.
BERLIN, July "A terrible tornado
yesterday swept over the Crefeld district
of Rhenish Prussia. A number of booths
and a hall erected in the town of Crefeld
for rifle meeting, and fifty houses were
destroyed. Many people were killed or
injured.
The tornado caused terrible destruction
throughout the lower Rhine district. The
rifieman's hall was lifted from its founda-
tions and carried clean away. The circus
was blown over, the pavilions were dam
aged and their contents were shattered.
Several attaches sustained injuries The
effects Of the storm were still worse
in the neighborhood of Suechtoln,
on the roads to Viersen and Sit
tare. Houses were overthrown, trees were
uprooted and many cattle were killed, and
besides much damage was done to chin
neys and roofs. The total damage is esti-
mated at $3.50, 900. The inhabitants who
took shelter in Easements or in open es
capped with slight injuries, as did work
men buried in kilns. At the village of
Aurath scarcely house was spared, forty
being destroyed totally and man being
killed. The damage is estimated at $175,-

Alarming Reports as to His Serious
Illness Contrad1cted-AT True State
nent of His Condition.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 2.-Secretary
Blaine, although not feeling 80 well to-day
as yesterday, perhaps from overexertion,
was seen walking on Main street and took
his accustomed ride from 11:30 till 80.
He is by no means we'll man, but there is
no reason why he should not be well and
strong by autumn. Many false rumors
arise from the fact that the public did not
know how sick he was in New York. Since
his sickness there he has steadily improv-
ed. Any drawbacks have been for not
more than a day or two in duration. His
physician here is DR.. Taylor, a specialist in
nervous diseases, who was recommended
to Mr.. Blaine by his daughter, Mrs. EN-
mons Blaine. DR.. Taylor says his patient
eats well, sleeps well, has no organic dis
order and is rapidly recovering
his usual health. He takes no
medicine whatever, except occasionally
simple remedies to regulate digestion. He
has had no trace of the psralytic affection
from which he suffered three years ago.
The reports of Mr.. Blaine's serious illness
are false, sensational rumors. The princi-
pal benefit his physician can render him
is to encourage and tell him what to do.
Mr.. Blaine gets respondent about himself.
His sickness in New York was the result
of overwork combined with Ia grippe.
Notwithstanding the statements Of his
physician and strenuous denials of MEM
bers of his family many people here be-
lieve Mr.. Blaine to be broken down; that
he will never again engage in active life;
yet it is evident to one that he has improv-
| ed since his arrival here

FELL INTO VESUVIUS,

Horrible Fate of a Brazilian at the
Crater-0vercome by the Sulphur
Gus Smoke He Falls Into the Awful
Basin-His Friend Saved by tho
Guides Forethought.
ROME, July 2. -Dispatohes from Naples
give details of an accident which occurred
yesterday on Mount Vesuvius, by which
Brazilian traveller lost his life. Another
Brazilian was rescued with difficulty.
Mount Vesuvius has for some mon tbs
been showing signs of activity at inter
walls. Within the last week or so, how
ever, it has been somewhat quieter, but
yesterday renewed signs of activity were
noticed and travellers were warned that il
would be advisable not to ascend to the
crater.
In spite of this warning two Brazilian
travellers, accompanied by guide, de-
termined to make the ascent They did
so and reached the top of the mountain in
safety. There they were noticed to be
standing near the crater gazing into its
mysteries.
Suddenly the whole party was enveloped
by dense cloud of sulphurous smoke and
one of them reeled for a moment, then
staggered forward and fell into the crater
The guide who accompanied the two Bra
Zilians had in the meantime caught hold of
the second traveller and pushed him into
position where the crater fumes could not
affect him, thus saving his life.
The victim of Mount Vesuvius was DIR.
Silva Jare. He was o highly esteemed
journalist of Rio Janeiro. He fell ITO feet
sheer into the glowing lava. He left q
wife and family in Paris.

THE DESERT LAKE.

The Water Still Rising at Salton-
No Uneasiness Felt by the Railroad
People.
Los ANGELES, July 2.-There is no i'm
provement at Salton. The water in the
lake is rising, but no special uneasiness is
felt by the railroad people. Owing to the
almost unbearable heat, it is impossible to
get any white man to venture on the desert
at this time of the year. The Indian run
ner sent out by the railroad people has not
yet returned, and the boat sent out from
Salton has only been able to get a short
distance. A telegram received at the rail
road Office in this city says: "A strong
wind, Tuesday night, from the southeast
raised the water on the north shore. The
west water line is moving westward slowly.
I cannot reach the end of the track and
fear the track will go with the next strong
wind. The waters are surely but slowly
rising. That the water comes from the
Colorado river, which it leaves at a point
near Pilot Knob, there is but little doubt"
A special dispatch received by the Times
says the water around Salton is now with
in 1900 feet of the main track. If it con-
tinues to come in as it has done for the
last twenty-four hours it will wash out the
Southern Pacific track in three days. The
deepest water found was three feet and the
shallowest in the current fourteen inches.
Superintendent Darbrow of the salt works
is alarmed and wants the railroad COM
pany to send men to fix the break in New
river. The break is thirteen miles below
Ell Rio and about seventy miles from Sal
ton. The Indians are badly scared, and
all the desert Indians have fled to The
hills, and even those as high up as Ban
ming are leaving for the mountains. A
week ago medicine man came to Ban
ming reservation and told the Indians
that the Messiah said there would be big
flood by July 4; that all the whites will be
swept away and only Indians saved. He
said that Indians who worked up to July
4 would not have time to get away All
| Indians are much excited, and even the
most intelligent ones a-e going to Gray
mountain with their families.
A special from Salton at II o'clock last
night said the water was still rising, but
not 50 rapidly as in the afternoon. Old
| residents of the city say that while the
| water is higher than ever known before,
| the desert lake is not new thing and the
| phenomenon has occurred frequently, but
| from the fact that the desert is uninhab-
| tied and no one ever ventures across it it
l has not baeo noticed

New York, July 2.-Alfred Roosevelt, q
banker doing business at 80 Wall street,
this city, was fatally injured as Mamaro-
neck this morning. He started for this
city as usual, but did not get to the station
until the train was moving out. He sue
ceeded in jumping on one of the cars, but
the impetus of the jump and of the moving
train swung him out from the side of the
car just as it passed one of the abutments
of the bridge south of the station. He
struck against and fell under the car, the
wheels of which passed over one of his
legs, cutting the foot off just above the
ankle. Medical attendance was obtained
quickly but his recovery is considered
doubtful, owing to the shock and loss of
blood. Mr.. Roosevelt is about forty years
of age and married.

A Climax In the Phoebe CouzIns Suit

Counsel ordered to Leave Court.
CHICAGO, July 2.-The climax in the
suit of Phoebe Couzins to retain the secre-
taryship of the board of lady managers of
the worlds fair was reached this afternoon
in Judge Blodgett's court. The case had
been on hearing all day and Colonel Rob-
ert Rae, attorney for Miss Couzins, was
just closing an eloquent appeal on behalf
of his client. He pictured Miss Couzins'
honorable career and the positions of dis
tinction she had filed, and referred to her
aged mother, who was present, as wo-
man who had risked her life in defence of
the union during the war, and wound up
by saying, in a voice pitched to the high
est: "Let justice be done though the heav-
ems falll''
This was too much for Miss Couzins'
lady friends, half dozen of whom had sat
spell-bound by the eloquence of the coun-
sci. No sooner had the speaker finished

Stop it! This is. no town meeting! Mr..
Marshal, clear the room'
Deputy Marshal George Jones fastened
from his seat and advanced toward the
now very quiet women. He walked bold
ly up to the row of ladies, and waving his
hand toward the door of the court room
said, with more force than elegance: "Get
out! Get out!" The ladies rose, even to
Miss Couzins' aged mother. Ex-Judge
Wait was on his feet in an instant. "Your
honor" he said, in panied surprise at the
courts action, "you can see that the ap-
plause was only the impulse of the mo-
ment-"
''It don't matter, Judge Watt" replied
the court, now thoroughly angered. "Let
those people leave the room"
The ':people" filed out looking rather
abashed.
Previous to this dramatic little episode
the arguments were made. Edwin Walker
for the worlds fair directory and board of
control, argued that Miss Couzins never
held an Office, but was subject to the same
rules that governed the other employees,
such as the typswriters and stenographers.
Colonel Coe and ex-Judge Waite made elo-
quent pleas for Miss Couzins. Judge
Blodgett took the case under Amusement.

INVESTIGATING
The Ffendish Attempt to Wreck
Train on the Hartford Road.

u
Train on the Hartford Road.
HARTFORD. July. 2.-Both the police and
the railroad authorities promptly began an
investigation to-day in regard to the muir
derous attempt to wreck train on the
Hartford road, five miles north of Hart
ford, mentioned yesterday in our dis
patches. The investigation will be prose-
outed until the miscreants are discovered
or until all hope of bringing them to JUS
tice is abandoned. That it was deliberate
attempt to wreck the train there is not the
slightest doubt. The cartridge was placed
on the rail less than two feet from the
bridge, and had the engine left the track it
must have been precipitated into the Gull
vert below and have dragged some if not
all of the cars after it.
In discussing the matter today Superin-
tenent Davidson said: whoever did that
job knew the use of dynamite, and there
is no doubt that he or they intended to
pitch the train into the culvert That it
was dynamite and not powder or other
explosive that was used is proven by the
grease which covers everything at the
spot where the explosion took place. The
piece of track that was ripped away meas
ures fully twenty inches in length, and I'll
yentere to say that there is not machine
In Connecticut capable of tearing out a
piece of steel SO completely. We have not
yet found the piece, but think ii is in
the brook at the bottom of the culvert."
1--WE are now investigating, and will
make every effort to get hold of the guilty
party no matter what it may cost. have
no idea who could have made the attempt.
So far as I can learn no person has been
put off the train at that point, so that
there is no reason to believe that it is the
work of somebody who felt that he had
grievance against the road on that account.
am rather inclined to the belief that the
attempt was made by an anarchist, and
was done with the deliberate intent of de-
stroying life and property. 1 do not be-
ieve robbery was the motive, for there is
little of value on the train except what the
passengers carry on their persons Had
ROBBERY been the motive, the Adams Ex-
press train would have been selected"
The penalty for crime of this kind is
imprisonment for not more than thirty
years.
