ANOTHER HORROR.
An Awful Cyclone Of Death in
Minnesota.

Hundreds KiIled-HOuses and other
Structures swept off the Face of
the Earth-DevastattO ON all
Sides-SOme Sickening Details.
MANKATo, MINI, June 16.-One of the
worst disasters that ever visited southern
Minnesota occurred late yesterday after
noon. A funnel shaped tornado swept
over the land, laid waste scores of happy
homes, and sent forty or fifty souls into
eternity. The extent of country devasted
is greater than ever before known in the
history of the state.
Starting near Jackson, on the Southern
Minnesota road, the cyclone swept east
ward four miles, south of Minnesota lake,
then took a broad circle to the south,
passed south of Wells. Two miles north
of Sherburne it struck district school
house in which was the teacher and
eighteen scholars. The building was de-
molished. The teacher and fifteen schOl-
ars were killed. At Easton three build
ings were destroyed and several people in
jured. At Linden many houses were torn
from their foundation. A family consist
ing of man, wife and child were killed and
others injured. The storm passed on east
ward, destroying farm houses, barns and
everything in its path. Four miles south
of Minnesota lake, five farm houses were
utterly demolished and four persons killed.
The body of one John Brown was taken
from Minnesota lake this morning, mis-
wife, hired man and a school teacher were
injured. Much damage was done south of
Wells. 1t is reported that forty or fifty
persons were killed south and west of that
village as most of the damage was
in that country. Reports are slow coming
in. 1t Is expected later reports will come
as to the horror. The log house of a Bo-
hemian family at Bowen mill, near Min
nesota lake, was literally swept from the
earth. The family, consisting of man,
his wife and six children, spent the night
in the rain. cold and without shelter. The
air at the time was sitting and seemed like
gas. Everything was filled with haze. 1t
was impossible to get a list of the killed
and wounded. Probably not less than a
hundred we're injured, mostly in the coun-
try. distant from medical aid. All along
the Milwaukee road from Jackson to Min
nesota lake the scene was one Of devasta-
ton. Not every house was taken, but so
many were destroyed that the scene is pitt
able 1t is one of the richest sections of
the state. The wires are all down Tele-
graph poles and trees everywhere are blown
over. Trains on all other roads are, greatly

what He Thinks of the Revision
and a Now Creed.

SYRACUSE, June 16.-Dr. Chas. A. Briggs,
of the Union Theological Seminary, deliv.
cred an address at the banquet of the Pres
byterian Social Union, of Central New
York. DR.. Briggs says that during his re-
cent stay on the Pacific coast he refused
all invitations to speak or preach or even
pray in public and he had thought he
would keep still till fall. His theme was
Presbyterian Unity" "Let it be dis
tinctly understood, ," said he, "there can be
no unity without diversity. A great many
people confound unity with uniformity
and in attempting to force uniformity
really create a division. Unity demands
variety and uniformity can be none, there
fore no unity. Speaking of the proposed
revision of the confession of faith he
said it Started suddenly without great
leaders, devefoped a powerful, but blind
force, showing popular need of relief from
the creed of the seventeenth century,
Shall tell you what the cut standard is
now, he continued. 1t is theology as
taught in different seminaries and many
Of the doctrines of the Westminster con-
fessiOn are wholly ignored. That's why
the change demanded for consistency must
be either revision or new creed of church
unity. He said if we conciliate different
kinds of churches he had estimated we
could spare $4,000 ministers saving an

to acceed, but disagreed hopelessly upon
the two new Oregon and Washington pro-

one appropriating Sl87 800 for the improve
ment of the Columbia at Three-Mile rap

railroad around The Dalles, with authority
to make a contract for the completion of
the work, the total cost of the work being

priating 100000 for the construction of a

Washington with Puget Sound. The house
cOnferees refused to agree to these items.

LOST HIS REASON.
Sad Story Of a San Francisco
Broker in Oakland.
His Generous Act in Burying an
Old COmrRde-He is Found in a
Sewer and Becomes a Raving
Maniac.

Maniac.
OAKLAND, Cal, June 16.-William G.
Bousheld, a stock broker, who has an Office
at 400 California street, San Francisco, and
who lives at 1861 Thirteenth avenue, East
Oakland, has lost his reason. There is a
peculiar story in connection with the bro
ker's life. He is a single man, and has
been living in royal style at his home, be-
ing waited upon by two Japanese servants.
A few weeks ago Thomas Menifes, an
old miner who had once struck it rich
and then lost his fortune, committed sui
eide in East Oakland, and for several days
his body lay at the morgue unidentified
The afternoon before the remains were
buried Bousfeld walked into the morgHe
and asked to see the unknown suicide.
When he saw the body he exclaimed: !:
"Oh, that's poor Tom; am so sorry for
him."
Coroner Evers announced that he was
going to bury the body in the pOtter's field
the next day. Bousfeld was not pleased
with the news and said: at shall not be.
1 will see that my old friend is given de-
cent burial. Send your bill to me and l
will pay the expenses"
The coroner made fine casket for the
body to repose in and bought lot in the
cemetery. The broker paid all the oils
When the hour for the funeral arrived
Bousfeld was the only mourner.
"Get me prayer-book," said the broker,
Just before the funeral was ready to start.
The coroner replied that he had no use
for prayer-boOks in his business so he did
not keep them at the morgue. BOusfield
stopped the funeral until he went into a
store and bought the book desired.
He appeared at the grave of his old
friend as the only mourner, and solemnly
read the burial service. This being done
he said prayer for the suicide and laid a
bunch of flowers on the grave.
A few days later the capitalist was wait
ing for the train in East Oakland, when he
suddenly went mad and ran down the
! street shouting. "Oh, Lord, save me"
A stranger caught him, and in moment
the broker recovered his reason. He ap-
peared to be all right since that time until
Friday evening. When be retired he was
not feeling very we'll. About midnight his
servants heard him leave the house and
started to follow him, but he soon disap-
peared.
A force of men went to work near Four
teenth avenue and Twentieth street. They
noticed that the cover to the manhole had
been removed and started to replace it.,
when they found a man in the sewer. He
was sitting down at the time and did not
appear to notice the presence of his res
cuers. He was pulled out and the men dis
covered that it was BOusfeld. He said
that he was trying to hide from the devil.
The poor fellow was taken to the county
] Jail and will be examined by the lunacy
commissioners. Last night be was raw

Punishing IIbeI In Franco.

PARIS, June 16.-A curious revolution
has taken place in French literature and
judicial customs. For the first time in the
history of the press in France the jury rec
ognized the principle that heavy damages
should be awardedin defamation of charac-
ter M. Drumont, the we'll known anti
Semitic, who recently accused deputy. Of
being at one time ENGAGED in drafting bill
relating to the nk of France, was
promptly prosecuted BY Mr.. Bardeau, and
being found guilty, was sentenced yester-
day to three months imprisonment and
fined 1000 francs. Moreover, the court or
dered that the sentence be published in
several journals and that the amount of
the fine be spent in this way, and that for
eight days special prominence be given to
the sentence on the first page of NJ. Drum
ont's own journal, La Libre Parole, which
is certainly a novel sentence. The trial
proved there was absolutely no foundation
for Drumont's accusation.
