THE HURRICANE Al GALVA.
A Bad Storm That Kills One Man ant
DESTROYS Much Property.

Bad Storm That Kills One Man and
Destroys Much Property.
GALvA, Ills, June 15.-The worst storm
that ever visited this part of the state
struck this city at 7:45 Monday evening,
carrying destruction in its course and
causing at least one death, August Olson
being killed at.his home in the south part
of the town. The Free Methodist church
was entirely demolished and the congre-
cation imprisoned in its ruins, several be-
ing seriously injured. It is miraculous
that any of the occupants escaped with
their lives. Many persons were hurt at
their homes or upon the streets by flying
debris. Hough's and Barnett's elevators
are destroyed. At least half of the busi-
ness houses are unroofed and from eighty
ito 100 homes wrecked or destroyed.
Some of the Havoc Wrought
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
is demolished. The Hays
planter factory badly damaged and the
Milford heater factory partly demolished.
The Union rink is a complete wreck; the
Baptist church spire is laying across the
street. The Jones clock, Palmer and Wal
ker, Howe, Webb and Mink agricultural
buildings are wrecked. The Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy depot and Rock
Island and Peoria depot were all more or
less injured, while the damage to fruit and
shade trees is immense. Dis wonderful
the loss of life is so small.
~, A List of Some of the gnjured.
" Galva presents scenes of frightful dilapi-
dation. There is not a building in the
placemhat does not show some evidence
of the fearful storm. Only one life has
been lost as the result of the storm, so far,
but nearlya score of persons received In
juries from which some them may not re-
cover. Among the injured-are. August,
Charles and iHuldal Carlson;' Ernest Dick
inson; Mrs. John Ericsson; Albert Erics-
son and wife; Oscar, George and Julia
Mrs. Shaftstrum; A. Wahl-
trum;-Jaeger; Mrs. Melline. MISS Mel
line and G.. j. Johnson. OF these nearly
all received their injuries by the co lapse
of the Methodist church, where they were
a, mission meeting. The proper
ty loss is about $780, 900.

sents the final efforts of the opposition to

soon as the convention was called to order
yesterday morning at 11:30, announced
that they would make no further fight on
the credentials committee reports, and
they were adopted by viva voce vote.
Michigan Wants to Consult.
The chair announced that nominations
were in order and Michigan asked leave to
retire for consultation, which was granted.
While they were absent Mrs. j. Ellen Eos
ter addressed the convention, declaring
that reforms should be carried on outside
of party lines, and eulogizilg the Repub-
lican party. The Michiganders returned
and the clerk began calling the roll for
nominations.

which felt good over the vote as cast.
When Texas was called she cast her whole
vote-22-for Harrison. This gave the
president majority and nominated him.
Mckinley left the chair and moved to
nominate by reclamation, but the opposi-
ton would not have it and the roll went
on to the end, with the result noted in the
first paragraph of this dispatch.
Enthusiasm Went wild.
There were several outbursts of enthusi-

concluded the Blaine men went wild and
when Depew sat down "a tremendous Har-

They also reported the temporary secre-

Mckinley appeared, escorted by Spooner,
!Fessesden and Malone. The convention
went wild and cheered for forty seconds.
He began speaking extempore as soon as
quiet was restored. The central idea of
his remarks was that the Republican
party was one of action; that its principles
it crystalized into statutes; that it meant
what it said, and made laws of it's plat
forms; that when there was anything to
be done the Republican party was called
on to do it and made no failures.
The first platform, adopted thirty-six
years ago, was law now, every plank of it,
and 1t read today more like an inspiration
than anything else. He then defended
the tariff law, ridiculed the Democratic
idea of tariff reform, and closed with a
