United States Judges

The President will soon appoint the
United Circuit Judges provided for bv
law at the last session of Congress.
There are five or seven of them to be ap-
pointed. and one will come from either
Virginia, West Virginia, Or North Caro-
lima. There are several applicants from
these States, the most prominent being
Judge Seymour. of North Carolina, Gen.
n Golf, of West Virginia, Judge L. l..
Lewis, of the Virginia Supreme Court,
and Judge John Paul of the United
States District Court for the Western
District of Virginia We do not know
that there is any special rule to be fol-
lowed in the appointments, except that
of fitness for the arduous and delicate
duties of the position, nor do we know
what preponderating influence will de-
ternine the State from which the seec-
ton will be made. Virginia, we think,
would favor the choice of Judge Lewis.
who is professionally and personally well
equipped for the high honor. Should
the selection not fall to Virginia, then
Gen. Golf would be, by all odds, the IA
vorite in this State with both parties.
Gen. Golf combines all the requisites
for the place. He is thoroughly famil-
lar with the practice of the United
States Court, having been, for number
of years, United States District Attor-
ney for West Virginia. He is a lawyer
whose general practice has been varied
and extensive; and trained in the public
service, as a member of Congress, and
prominent in political councils, he would
bring to the office a ripeness of judg-
ment, a breadth of view, and fund of
information that very few possess. There
is scarcely any line of civil conduct with
which Gen. Golf is not familiar To
/ this he adds a brilliant record as a sol
dier, shouldering his musket in his teens.
in defence of the Union, and closing the
service with honors and distinctions
rarely conferred on one so young.
From party standpoint no member
of the party in the States from which the
selection will be made, can compare
with him in service In his own State
he is power of strength, and his time
and labor and means have been cheer
fully given to one-half the States in the
Union, when called upon to carry the
Republican flag and do battle for the
Republican cause. Besides his public
services, Gen. Golf is a genial, courteous
gentleman. who would bring to the
bench modest dignity and.delicate sense
of the responsibility becoming the ex-
allied position, yet not removing him
from touch with the people and the
common welfare of the country.
Ii Virginia is not favored in the per-
son of Judge Lewis, we hope West Vir
ginia will be by the appointment of Gen.
Golf. We have known both of them all
their lives, and their fathers before
them. They both come from good
stock, inherit manly natures, and are
gentlemen by instinct and training.
Either would grace the high position,
and meet it's responsibilities honorably
and acceptablv.

SIX DEAD HERE.
A Huge Structure Treated Like a
Piaything.


MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, June 26.-The
Patterson Coal company's breaker, To-
Gated st Natalie. village two miles
north of this city, was destroyed by
cyclone this afternoon and the follow
ing persons were killed: j. n. Bios
som, Hawley. Pa; j. Bentley bod
son. Shickshiny, Pa; Richard Rob
erts, Luzerne; William Lodge, Lu-
Zerne; an Italian, unknown, and
another stranger still under the debris.
The breaker was located On the summit
of the big mountain about LOGO feet
above the sea level. 1t ran almost due
east and west. The structure was 800
feet in length and the highest point was
165 feet. Lode and Roberts, the two
unknown men, were skaters, and were
engaged in roofing the breaker at the
time of the accident. The other men
killed were carpenters and met their
death while employed at work on the
interior of the breaker. Shortly after
noon the sky in the north became black
and the darkness grew intense.
The men perched on their high tower
gaZed on the advancing storm, expect
ing to come down in time to avoid the
rain. A fash of lightning Illuminated
the horizon, thunder peal shaking the
ground followed, and the next minute
the terrible wind gust gathered up the
mighty structure as though it were a
feather, and, whirling it around,
dashed it to ruins. The men were
mangied almost beyond recognition.
The breaker was one of the largest in
the region, its capacity being about
10000 tons per month. The cost of its
erection exceeded 100000. The loss
fails on Wilkesbarre, Pittsburg and
Philadelphia capitalists.

THE TORRENTS TRACK.
Distressing Stories Of Ruin and
Desolation.

WATERLOO, Iowa, June 26.-An!. Illi-
nois Central conductor, who returned to-
day from the scene of desolation by the
recent floods. reports the damage and
loss of property, live stock, growing
crops and the personal losses of
the unfortunate people who lived
i'll the track of the storm as
almost incredible. The country from
Storm Lake to Cherokee was one vast
sea of water. The merchants in every
town between the two points suffered
great loss, 10 say nothing of the untold
damage to crops and live stock, and the
rs to 100 houses washed away on the
bottoms at Cherokee Wednesday. and
the horses still tied to the fragments of
their wrecked barns. Hundreds of cat
tie, hogs and chickens followed each
other at short intervals.
The Little Sioux valley from Chero-
kee to Onawa is one of the largest stock
raising sections in Iowa, and when the
water subsidies and careful survey of
the deSOlated district can be made the
prospect of loss is seen 10 be appalling.
One farmer living south of Cherokee
says that over 200 head of cattle are
missing from his pastures, and he sup
poses they are all lost. Another man
named Waugh, an importer of draught
horses at Cherokee, lost eight very val
liable animals The Illinois Central
is also very heavy loser. Supt.
Gilleas says 100000 Will not repair the
damage already in sight, and investiga-
lions have not been pursued further
than five miles ON the south branch. and
the north is still inaccessible. The COM
pany has force of 200 men at work at
the bridge at Cherokee, ana, with no
bad luck, temporary structure will be
ready for use by Sunday. All wagon
bridges On the country roads from
Storm Lake to Cherokee are still acces-
sible only by boat.

though these powder magazines were
located near Eagle Grove, four miles
west of the city, the shock of the ex-
plosion caused houses TO rock and sway
in the city as if in the throes of an
earthquake. Glass was broken. doors
flung open. plaster fell from the walls,
goods came tumbling down from the
shelves, caused by swaying of the
buildings. and people stood aghast at
what they knew not.
A telephone message from the scene
OF the disaster told the cause of the
perturbation. and dispelled the fear that
had seized upon the people. Chaos and
ruin marked the line of disaster. Where
the powder houses stood there is not
yestlge of building left, and the site of
the American powder magazine is
marked by hole in the ground 125 feet
in circumference and from 25
to 80 feet in depth. Scant-
1lngs Aka were hurled through the
air half-mile with terrific force of the
explosion, and brick and, other debris is
scattered over large area of territory.

hood and for three-quarters of mile
distant are badly wrecked, and num-
Der OF persons hurt, one man fatally.
The Office of the stockyards was badly
wrecked, and fourteen head of cattle
and other stock were killed. Total loss,

BOONE, To-, June 26.-At the Chicago
& Northwestern headquarters in this
city was received to-day the first direct
news from the scene of the floods on the
Maple river branch Of the road. The
dispatch is from the operator at Mo
vile, and says the town is
almost wiped out. The water
run in at the depot windows and
iSsup to the ceilings of all the buildings
All the houses in the fiat portion of the
town have been swept away, and the
railroad turn table is washed from its
place. Three miles of track are gone
between Neville and Kingsley, also
mostlof the small bridges and the bridge
over the Sioux river. This destruction
is now being supplemented by another
storm raging at present in the same vi
cinlty and extending south to the main
line of the Northwestern. 1t is raining
very hard, and the storm is travelling
east.
FORT DODGE, Ia, June 26.-The lat
est adyices from Cherokee say that the
damage by the floods is greater than at
first reported. As the waters recede
the carcasses of cattle are landed, and
to-day the stencil from them permeateS
the air. 1t is estimated that hundreds
of head of stock have been lost. Two
miles OF track of the main line of the
Illinois Central has been washed out
between Cherokee and Sioux City,
and it will take about a week
to repair the damage. The Onawa
and Sioux Falls branches of the
same road are in a worse way. and it
will be about ten days before traffic can
be resumed. On both the wire con-
nections are still broken. The Sioux
river is subsiding, but it is still forty
feet deep and covers quarter of mile
of country. The average depth of the

simply terribly wonderful the way
that immense body of water swept
things before it. Houses were but
bubbles on its crest. was at Cherokee
when the cloudburst came, and in less
time than it takes to tell it, flood was
upon the town. Houses were seen to
tremble, swing half around, and be car
ried along with the torrents. Trees
were bent and broken like reeds, and
not thing could stop the terrific on
ward rush of the water, and all this oc-
CURED before the people could possibly
realize what had happened. The most
remarkable feature of the disaster is
that any of the people in the track
OF the flood escaped with their lives.
Ash far as l know no lives were lost at
Cherokee and the Immediate vicinity.
The storm rendered between three hun
dred and four hundred families home
