| A Terrific Wind Storm I'm the West
| Carries Death and Destruction in
| Its Track-Tho usands of Dollars
Worth of Property and Several
Lives Lost.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July 16.-A wind
storm of terrific violence swept over Su-
| perior to-day, carrying death and destruc-
| ton in its path. The wind was accompa-
MED by pouring rain and the air was heav-
lily charged with electricity. The storm
lasted only about thirty minutes, but dur
ing that period many thousands of dollars
of damage was done, while at least five
persons were killed and many others in
jured. During the progress of the storm
an alarm of fire was turned in from the
Fifth ward and the department responded
to find the new large tbree-story frame
hotel on Third street near Lamborn avenue
mass of ruins. The structure had been
blown down and many workmen were in
the ruins. large number of persons as.
sisted the firemen in the rescue. Fully
three thousand persons were at the scene.
At late hour tonight the dead were:
John Laur, married, aged 38; Charles
Lucas, single, aged 20; Herman Paussey,
single, aged 20; John Schofeld, and an
unknown, about 35 years of age. Among
the more seriously injured are: John
Brown, broken legs; John Long, internal
and probably fatal INJURIES William Sem
pie, Dick Clarke and others more or less
seriously. The assistant chief of the de-
partment had his leg broken during the
work of rescue. An eye witness of the
disaster says he saw crew of workmen
run into the building to seek shelter from
the storm. Fully thirty or forty men
must have been inside. They were dis
tributed over all the floors. It appears
that the men on the third floor took warn
ing first and five were seen to jump and
get away in safety.
Much damage was done in all directions.
The steel hosting and conveying ap-
paratus employed by the Silver Greek and
Morris and Ohio Coal companies was bad
ly damaged. A large frame was blown
down at the corner of Third and Tower
streets, South Superior, and a number of
other buildings were levelled, but no casu-
allies are reported. Lightning played
havoc with the Fisher hotel, Unitarian
church, Union depot and other buildings.
There are no reports of disaster on the
lake or harbor

The Eminent English Divine In a
PrecariOus Condition.
LONDON, July 16,-Mr. Spurgeon still
fingers. His physicians regard the pro-
longation of his life, under the circum-
stances, as marvellous. Nothing but an
extraordinary constitution could have
withstood such attacks as those of last
night, when death WAS momentarily ex-
pected.
His congregation ascribe his vitality to
the efficacy of prayer. The Tabernacle is
thrown open all day, and prayer meetings
are continually going on. The patient
suffers too much pain, or in the intervals
is too much under the influence of ano-
dynes, to be conscious of the efforts made
to save him.
To-day paroxysms of pain and fits of de-
lirium succeed each other, and the end
may come at any moment.
Mr.. Sturgeon, at $50 p. M, though
weaker was not suffering, and was very
peaceful.

Death Of General Kelley.

OAKLAND, Nd, July 16.-General Ben
jamin Franklin Kelley, who raised the first
regiment of loyal troops south of Mason
and Dixon's line during the late war, died
tonight at his home near Oakland, Md.
General Kelley was born in New Hamp-
shire in 1907, and when nineteen years old
he settled in Wheeling, w. Va, where he
lived until the breaking out of the war.
He became prominent in the affairs of his
state and did much to save West Virginia
to the Union. He was badly wounded in
his first battle, but lived to do brilliant
service for his country. 1t is said of him
that from the beginning to the end Of the
war, in all the battles he fought, he was
never once defeated. After hostilities
ceased he served for term as internal
revenue collector of West Virginia, and
later was appointed by President Hayes
superintendent of the Hot Springs in
Arkansas.

THE CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL.
Interest I'm the Conference on Public
naral9-

| Morals.
LONDON, July 16.-At this mornings
session of the International Congrega.
tional council, the Rev. DR.. j. Z. Mclean
of Oakland, Cal, addressed the meeting
upon the subject of "Home Missions. "
During the afternoon Cyrus W. Northrop
of Minneapolis addressed the council.
|. Great interest is being taken in the con-
ference upon public morals which the
council will hold in the City temple on
Monday next and at which the Rev.
Joseph Parker will preside. At this meet
ing . resolution will be submitted to the
effect that the time has arrived for the
recognition of the truth that moral law is
equally binding upon men and women,
and that all statutory disabilities on &C
count of sect, or sex, should be repealed,
and that the privileges of adulturers and
the regulation of prostitutes should be
abolished. The resolution will also urge
that the age of consent should be raised to
sixteen years.
The evening session, Mr.. Dale presiding,
of the Congregational council, discussed
the attitude of the church toward social
movements. DR.. GLADDEN. of Columbus,
Ohio, attacked the acquisition of enormous
wealth in few hands. Workingmen, he
said, had not proper share of the gem
eral increase of wealth. Without going
the whole way of the socialists, he be-
heved the state might do much by con-
trolling industries like railways, tramways
and water works.

NEWS FROM CHILL.

Cheering Reports from the Congress
sfonal Party-DeniaI of the Reported
Battle Near Coqufmbo.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Senor Mont,
the representative of the CHILEAN congress
sional party here, has received the follow
ing telegram from Iquique, Chilli, dated
yesterday, from Errazuriz:
"Our army continues its accoutrement
with the arms received from Europe. The
greatest enthusiasm and discipline reigns.
Large numbers of volunteers come to our
ranks daily. Supplies continually arrive
by steamers from California, Peru and all
ports of the Pacific. Provisions are in
abundance in Iquique. The nitre works
are in great activity. The expectation of
their product produces abundant revenue.
From Santiago we are informed that the
resources of Balmaceda are constantly
diminishing. The people are terrorized
by the continuous outrages committed.
There is great discomfort in the dictator's
army. A few days ago a revolution was
almost successful in Balmaceda's vessels.
Their crews are impatient to join their
comrades who fight for the constitution
and laws"
As no reference was made in the above
dispatch to the reported engagement near
Coquimbo, between the Balmaceda and
congressional forces and the rumored fight
between the cruiser Msgellanes and the
Balmaceda torpedo boats, a special inquiry
was made by Senior Montt on those points
In reply, he received at late hour last
| night the following eablegram from Erraz-
uriZ:
"Iquique, 10. There has been no battle
in Coquimbo. The only combat that has
taken place has been between our van
| guard and the rear guard of the dictator's
army to the south of Vollenor in the val.
ley of Huazco. In this combat the troops
of the dictator fed. Our troops occupy
the whole province of Atacoma."

party here have no present intention Of
leaving Washington.

Making Good Roards.

The movement which has been
well begun in many parts of the
country to reform the wagon-roads,
which have TO u great extent fallen
into a sad state of neglect, is likely
to be forwarded by the action taken
by several agricultural colleges, and
particularly by Cornell university, in
giving courses of instruction in road
making.
Very often bad roads exist because
no one in their vicinity Knows how
to construct IL road. The people of
ten do the best they can; but road
making is a science in itself, belong
ing properly to the civil engineers
profession.
In Cornell university the professor
of civil engineering, the professor OF
agriculture and the professor of hor-
ticulture have been directed to pre-
pare q plan for putting the roads of
the university property into the best
possible condition; and when the
road has been completed, an in
scription is to be put upon it, stating
how much it cost, what materials
were used. and what methods were
employed in its construction.
In several agricultural colleges,
courses of lectures are given by prac-
teal men upon road making. Farm
ers' Institutes are taking the matter
up. and the people everywhere, are
learning that much better methods
of road making exist than the old
one of heaping up dirt in the middle
of the driveway, to be worked into
ruts and washed into the bitches
again in the course of a year.

The DespatchsCase Disposed of.

Secretary Tracy has disposed of
the case of the wrecked steamer Des.
patch by approving the conclusion of
the court OF inquiry-that it is not a
case calling for any further action.
The court found from the evidence
submitted that the orders of Lieuten-
ant Cowles, the commanding officer
of the vessel. were safe and proper,
and that the accident would not
have occurred but for the mistake of
Lieutenant Noel in taking the ASA
league light for the Winter Quarter
Shoal light. The court found that
the Assateague light shone red in
stead of white, and that the vessel
passed within four miles of the Win
ter Quarter Shoal light, with proper
lookouts, without seeing it, that light
either must have been entirely out,
or was burning dimly. The court was
of opinion that this condition was
the principal cause of the disaster,
and that no one attached to the YES
sci could be held accountable for it.
