CYCLONE AT WASHINGTON.
The National Capital visited by De-

The National Capital visited by De.
strucsive Storm.
WASHINGTON, Nov "a "A cyclone
struck Washington at 1890 ?. n, and
lasted about ten minutes It was a..
eompanied by driving rain with vivid
lightning flashes. Tc add to the con-
fusion. fire bells were rung occaslon7t
by buildings in various parts of the city
being blown down. The worst of tha
storm visited the corner of Twelfth and
F streets, and wrecked the entire cor
ner. A building in the course cf erec-
ton and which had attained a height Of
four stories was blown in on the back
of several adjoining buildings. A num-
Der of people were employed on these
buildings and upon the building in
course of construction number of
brick layers were at work. The work
men narrowly escaped death, but in an
extension of one of the buildings
crushed Mr.. White, a tailor, was in
stantly killed, being crushed and
mangled almost beyond recognition.
Several other employees in his estab-
ishment were seriously injured. At
the White House about two tons of stone
coping on the top of the mansion was
blown down on the porch on the east
side crushing it in. A window in the
east room was blown in. The flagstaff
on ton of the White House was snapped
off as if it was glass.

BALTIMORE GETS 1T.
A Fifty Mile an Hour Breeze Sails
Through the Monumental City.

A Fifty Mile an Hour Breeze Sails
Through the Monumental City.
BALTIMORE, Nov. "a. 4.-This city was
visited by a furious gale during the
afternoon, the wind blowing at the
rate of fifty miles an hour
and signs, chimneys and everything
movable was sent flying. Advices from
neighboring cities show that the hurri-
cane is general in this section,
being accompanied in many
instances by furious rain
storms amounting almost to cloudbursts.
1t will be some little time before COM
munication can be re-established with
Washington, and then it will have to be
by railroad, as it will be almost an i'm
possibility to get the wires into shape in
day. Floods have resulted from the
heavy rains in Maryland and Southeast
ern Pennsylvania, and it is believed that
reports of great damage and perhaps loss
of life will be received as soon as any
means can be had of conveying intelli-
gence. The gale on Chesapeake bay is
one of the hardest known for years. The
oyster smacks have run for shelter when
possible, but it is not deemed probable
that all have escaped.

Joy at Minneapolis.

N. when the good news from Washing
ton reached the ears of the anxious Min
neapolis walters. 1t was unfortunately
too late to allow of any concentrated
action expressive of the joy in the hearts
of the citizens, but such as were still
on guard inflated their lungs and pro-
ceeded to make the welkin ring with the
e1huberance Of their feelings. There
was nothing but rejoicing On all sides,
in the Democratic camp as well as the
most stalwart Of their political oppo-
nents. All political distinctions were
dropped for the time, and everybody

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Nov. 3d.
After being out for twenty-four hours
the jury in the Brandborg case brought
h a verdict of not guilty. There was
long struggle in the jury room and YER
dict was not reached until after the judge
had declined to discharge the jury. The
vote on murder in the second degree
stood three for conviction and nine for
acquittal. Then the jury dropped down
to manslaughter in the second degree;
for this at one time it stood seven for
conviction to five for acquittal, but the
five held on and finally brought the
other seven over.

Helpers.

Never tell anybody an unpalatablc
truth when it can answer no good pur.
pose. This sort Of unnecessary candor
is sometimes prompted by mere loose.
ness of tongue. If you have !; taste for
sharp repartee, restrain it. 1t is better
to lose a jest than iriend-to miss all
opportunity of saying good thing
than to make an enemy.
The best helper in trouble, the best
guide to the erring is not one who is
utterly unnerved by the distress which
his sympathy causes him. Like the
skillful surgeon, his head must be clear
and his hand steady if he is to probe to
the trouble and administer efficient
relief.
He only is great who has the habits
of greatness, who, after performing
what none IN ten thousand could ac-
complish, passes on like Samson and
tells neither father or mother about it.
Labor is life successful labor is life
and gladness, and successful labor with
nigh aims and just objects brings the
fullest, truest, and hapriest life that can
be lived upon the earth.
That which Is easy to do, though it
may be worth doing, is not so important
as that which is hard and disagteeable,
and which therefore finds fewer workers.
Nothing sharpens the arrow of sar-
casm so keenly as the courtesy that
polishes it. No reproach is like that we
clothe with a smile and present with
bow.
You Just bring . couple Of little
quarrsls INTO your family, and they'll
breed like sparrows.

in doors, these others being Aura S

to speak. He had loyed Aura for a

of the barrier between us seems to me
