The New Wheat Bug in Kansas.

Reports received at Kansas City,

wheat-growing counties of Kansas.
Brown, Dickinson, Boston, Sumner,
Saline, Lincoln and Ford counties re-
port that the wheat is turning yellow
from some unknown cause. The re-
port says those counties will not yield
more than from half to two-thirds of a
full crop. Reno County reports much
damage from the Hessian fly. Show
rell County reports many fields unfit to
cut. The ''new bug" appears in sever
al counties where the wheat is turning
yellow. Several counties report dam
age from drought. The cooler weather,
day, will undoubtedly be great benefit
to the wheat crop. Notwithstanding
the excessive rainfall of the past three
months there are many places where
rain will do great good now.

WILD WINDS WAYS
Where the Cyclone Perched on
Wicked Wings.
Washington City the Scene of the Worst
Old Blow.
GREENSBORO SHAKEN UP BADLY
Reports from Raleigh Show That the
Business There Was Also Very
Serious to All.

A cyclone struck Washington City
at 1890 Yesterday afternoon and lasted
about ten minutes. 1t was accompanied
by driving rain with vivid flashing OF
lightning. To add to the confusion, ire
bells were rung occasioned by buildings
in various parts of the city being blown
down.
The worst of the storm visited the cor
ner Of F and 18th street, and wrecked
the entire corner. A building in course
of erection which had attained height
of four stories was blown in on the back
of several adjoining buildings A num-
Der of people were employed in these
buildings and upon the building in
course of construction a number of
bricklayers were at work. The work.
men had narrow escape from death,
but in an extension Of one Of the build
ings crushed, Mr.. White, tailor, was
instantly killed, being crushed and man
gled almost beyond recognition. Sew
eral other employees in his establish
ment were seriously injured. At the
White House about two tons of stone
coping on the top of the mansion was
down on the porch on the east side of
the building, crushing it. A window in
the East room was also blown in. The
flag staff on top of the White House was
snapped off as if it was glass. One of
the large iron posts of the gas reservoir
near Georgetown was struck by light
ming which set fire to the gas in the res
ervoir, and half a million feet of gas
soon burned away. Throughout the city
houses were unroofed, trees upturned,
windows smashed, gas lamps blown
down, all of the telegraph and telephone
wires disabled and street cars and car
riages toppled over.
After the storm the sun shone out
brightly and the temperature was like
that of an April day.

AT GREENSBORO.

Much Damage Was Done and a Real
Cyclone Was on for Awhile.
The Record says: The tin roof on J.
Henry Phipps' store was rolled up like
paper, and tumbled into Asheboro street,
carrying with it the electric wires. Mr..
Phipps sustained some damage to his
stock of goods, as it was raining very
hard.
Nearly one half of the tin on the east
side of S. j. Pegram & Cos large brick
tobacco factory was rolled up and tum-
bled into the street.
But the heaviest loss was at the North
Carolina Steel works. The furnace or
cast house-a building 6Ox11O feet
which was nearly ready for the roof, was
in the track of the cyclone. The walls
were 81 feet high, only lacking about
three feet Of completion. The brick of
the south wall, 10 feet long and q feet
high, was swept away as if it had been
built oc straw. The most of this wall
was stone, and only ten feet of the brick
work gave way.
The roofing over the brick works and
kilns was blown away and scattered in
every direction.
The loss sustained by the Steel COM
pany will not, however, exceed 5000,
and may be as low as $3.50.
The wind came in from the South and
only lasted some three or five minutes in
much fury. Had it lasted longer the de-
struction in our city would have been
frightful.
The awnings in front of McDuftie &
Pigford's store were wrecked.
The tree in Mrs. Watlington's yard
lost few limbs. 1t will come down
some day, and lucky it will be if nobody
is killed
The large elm in front of the Y. NJ. c.
A. building was so twisted as to render
it necessary to cut it down.
D. E. Thomas bill-b board, in front of
the market house, was blown down.
One young lady lost her umbrella, be-
ing forced TO let it go or be carried away
with it.
Fences in the country in every direc-
ton were blown down.

The first brick for the Durham graded

living in this city or interested, however
remotely, in its future.
Architect L"ary has draWn plans for a

fashioned after the most improved plans
of modern school buildings, the arrange
ments for lighting, heating and ventila-
tlon being such as to insure the health
and comfort of pupils, and in every way
facilitate the young idea which has, dur
ing the past two years, done it's shooting
in this city under such adverse condi.
tiOns
Builder Christian, who was inter-
viewed by THE GLOBE this morning,
says that he cannot at this time name any
early date for its completion, the pro-
gress of the work depending of course
upon the weather. If the winter is mild
it will be pushed right through, other
wise it will be delayed until spring.
But one thing is certain. The Dur
ham graded school will never have to
open again in the o,d shell it now occu-
pies.
And this is good enough.

Johnny Briggs was struck upon the head
by large limb and his face was mashed
TO the ground, his features and eyes be-
Ing badly torn and lacerated. His COM
panion was also tightly pinioned. Both
were held down unable to e1tricate
themselves or to move when they were
discovered by some colored people on
the place who had heard the tree fall and
who came and rescued them. Both were
carried into Mr.. Briggs house in an un-
conscious condition and medical aid was
quickly summoned.
Both lay in an unconscious state for
several hours, and so critical was their
condition that it was impossible for the
physicians to make any examination of
them sufficient to ascertain the real ex-
mt of their injuries. Last night, how
ever, Johnny Briggs revived sufficiently
to be able to speak, but Carl Stone at
last adyices was still unconscious. The
condition of both is regarded as critical.
The wind blew a regular gale for some
time yesterday morning and played con-
siderable havoc. Besides the sad casu-
atty mentioned above, number of trees
and limbs were blown down, windows in
different parts of the city were blown out
and the decorations on the welcome arch
were blown almost to ribbons. The
framework of the arch swayed to and
fro in the wind, and for while it looked
as if it would be blown down.

A Rumor of Something Big for the Ok
ford Orphans Thursday.
While it is something of a secret, and
THE GLOBE has no desire to raise expec-
tations about which there might be any
possibility of disappointment, it comes to
us to-day in a way that we consider re-
liable, that some of our noble hearted
and generous citizens are preparing to
remember the Oxford orphans in way
quite in keeping with their reputation
for open handed liberalitY, and as will
bring JOY to the hearts of every one
connected with the institution.
Just what these contributions will be
and the amount of same is not yet
known. Yet the names of the gentlemen
heading the movement suggest some
thing substantial, and people who think
minute will find little difficulty in
guessing who these gentlemen are.
No institution in the country is more
deserving of help than the Oxford Or
phan Asylum and THE GLOBE is pleased
to know that such a movement is on
foot.
There is no denying the fact that Dur
ham folk, with few notable exceptions,
are hummers with a contribution box.
