nado struck the western border line of
Kansas near South Haven, Sumner
county, and bounded through Sumner
and Butler counties, demolishing every
thing in its way and killing and maim-
ing scores of people. The telegraph
wires are 20 demoralized that it is i'm
possible to get a tithe OF the information
necessary to base an exact calculation
on, but the death roll will reach fully
nifty. From the country around South
Hayen, John Moorehouse and one child,
Mrs. Frank Sheppard and John Ber-
master, wife and three children are re-
ported among the dead, while scores of
Others are severely injured.

CURED in front of the residence of Gen
eral King, on Willow street. Several
buildings in the immediate vicinity
We're damaged and the sidewalk was
torn up for considerable length. Great
excitement prevailed i'll the neighbor-

the fact that the explosion was due to
the discharge of dynamite bomb.
When this startling information was
carried among the waiting throngs of
people they became panic stricken. A
large force of police hes been ordered to
the scene. 1t is impossible to learn
whether any one was injured by the

ports from other points indicate the
storm swept northward and eastward
from Nelson with great fury, but ow-
ing to the telegraph wires being pros
trated it is impossible yet definitely to
outline the track of the storm. The
storm included in its track the town Of
Edgar and other places in Clay county,
continuing on to Norfolk. 1t must
have traversed over 100 miles of some
of the finest country in the state in
Nuckolls, Clay, Fillmore, York, Polk,
Platte and Madison counties. 1t is re-
ported that at Edgar a number of
houses We're blown down and the depot
wrecked and two railway employees
killed. From Wahoo comes the news
of very heavy wind. A farmer, whose
name cannot be learned, was ovcrtaken
by the storm while returning from
town, and struck by lightning and
killed.

The Homestead Troubles.

At meeting of five thousand work
ingmen, at Homestead, yesterday after
noon, as stated in the GAZETTE, it was
determined to give the military brass
band reception. Some of the locked
out men were at first inclined to show
resistance, but the counsel of the town
burgess and the leaders of the strikers
prevailed, and the troops will meet
with no opposition: There was not gun
to be seen on the streets of Homestead
or anywhere else yesterday; every
thing looking like war had been con-
cealcd. 1t is authoritatively stated
that there are guns in readiness to sup
ply two thousand men, and ammuni
ton sufficient to fight four days bat
tie. The Pittshurg arsenal has been
stored with an immense supply of arms
and ammunition for the soldiers, but it
is not likely to be needed. Should the
company, while martial law prevails in
the town, attempt to introduce non
union men, the Amalgamated Associ-
alton will likely order a general strike
in the other Carnegie mills and
throughout the iron region. Officers of
the company informed committee of
the Amalgamated Association, from the
Pittsburg works of the company, that
they would hold no conference with
the Homestead strikers, and that they
would be prosecuted for their lawless
actions. Nearly two thousand troops
left Philadelphia for Mount Gretna,
where the first brigades is massed. The
second and third brigades are massed at
Blairsville Junction, sixty miles from
Pittsburg.
A dispatch from Pittsburg dated last
night says '"rhe most important news
tonight is the fact that the situation at
Homestead is to be brought to an i'm.
mediate crisis by the introduction OF
non-union labor, under private or civil
guard, into the Carnegie works as soon
as the militia have taken possession
there. Mr.. Frick, of the Carnegie
Steel Company told Sun reporter this
afternoon that it was his intention to
do this within twenty-four hours after
the troops had restored the mills to the
nossession Of their owners

Congressman Mansur of Missouri and
Congressman Jones of the lst Virginia
district spoke at Heathsville, i'll that
district, yesterday. The former says
Mr.. Jones will have no opposition for
denomination, and will be reelected.
The latter says the Yeocomico Alliance
of Northumberland county have sur
rendered their charter on the ground
that when they joined the organization
it was with the understanding that it
was non-political. Congressman Bal
lev Of Texas also spoke in Mr.. Jones's
district yesterday, at Bowling Green,
Caroline county. He says there are
some third party men in that county,
but that he thinks most Of them will
vote the right ticket next November
Mr.. Bland would like to get the third
party's nomination in that district, but
it is supposed the strength ofthat party
is too small there to warrant the ex-
pense ola campaign. From the Lynch

party is pretty strong in some of the
counties thereof, and that it will proba-
bly, run candidate there. Next Mon
day will be court day at Culpeper, and

date for Vice President, be there, as is

Field died at his home, near Dobbs
Ferry. He was attacked early this
morning by one of the violent delrium
spells which have occurred so frequent
ly during his recent illness. DR.. Cou-
tant was at once summoned from Tar

with the hopes Of getting his patient to

of no avail and in less than three hours

showed signs of physical improvement,
and it was then thought that he might

grew rapidly weaker and this morning
the much feared delirium came on.

CoNGREss.-In The U, S. Senate yes
terday after Mr.. Washburn had dis
cussed in detail the anti-options bill,
further conferences were ordered on
the naval appropriation and the District
of Columbia appropriation bills. The
civil sundry appropriation bill was
further considered. Senator Quay's
amendment requiring the Worlds fair
to be closed on Sunday was discussed
by Senators Henderson, Palmer, Petit
grew, Sanders and Vest, who gave no.
tice of an amendment that all machine
ry should cease from operation on Sun
day, and hall be provided for reli-
gious services. Without coming to any
action on the amendment, and even
without closing the discussion, the Sell
ate, at 5:45, adjourned
Yesterday was District day in the
House, but very little business was
transacted for the reason that consider
able time was taken up with conference
reports, and the opponents of the bill
giving the Norfolk and Western rail
way the right of entrance into the city
filibustered considerably so as to pre-
vent that bill from being called up. A
disagreeing report on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill was agreed
to and further conference ordered. a
disagreeing report on the army appro-
priation bill was presented. The
point of contention is the amend
ment of the Senate striking out
the proviso that no money shall be
used for army transportation over the
non-bonded railroads controlled by the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
Railroad companies. The House in
sisted on its disagreement, and flrth-
er conference was ordered.
