THE KANSAS CYCLONE.
Four Towns We're Blown Down and Fifty
People Killed.

KANSAS CRY, April 3.-Half a hun
dred names compose the list OF those
killed in Kansas by the cyclone last
Thursday, and still the list is incom-
plete. Details OF the disaster as far
as it affected the town stricken sec
ton is now believed to he complete,
but many casualties in the country
regions are still unrecorded. Four
towns were wiped from the face OF the
earth and a dozen or so Others more
or less damaged. The locations of
New Haven, Towanda, Augusta and
Smolen are now marked only by
wreckage and piles OF splintered tim
ber which before composed the houses
OF its inhabitants. OF fifty dead
twenty-seven were killed outright.
Theremaining twenty-three were those
who We're fatally injured and have
since died.

Mr. Curtin - r fG63EG0" ri -ra E-C'
OF Clark, Conrad & CurI,., --T.s-- lu
hardware, stoves, etc. He has the
reput alton of being the most polite
gentleman in Helena and, probably,
in Montana. He is polite even in
anger. as a good story told on him
will illustrate.
A few years ago, in Helena, a China
man entered his store to make pur-
chase. Mr.. Curtin waited upon the
Mongolian and found him a very
troublesome customer. The China
man wanted to beat him down on the
price of some article. Mr.. Curtin does
not entertain an ardent love for the
almond-eyed heathen at any time and
took a particular dislike to this one.
Mr.. Curtin did not care very much
about selling the Celestial anything,
and told him to 60 elsewhere. The
Chinaman then wanted to make the
sale, but Mr.. Curtin was inexorable.
He took the Cinnamon by the nape of
the neck, escorted him to the door
and aided his egress by an applica-
ton OF his boot toe. He then very
politely bowed good day to the
heather and told him to call again.
Mr.. Curtin is very popular gentle
man, and for several years the Demo-
Gratis have tried hard to get his con-
sent to place him on the ticket for
mayor, but he always declined.

The FIRST Gun.
LITTLE RHoDY ELECTS THE ENTIRE
REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET IN
cLUDING THE LEoIs-
LATURE.
The Largest Vote Pollsd in Many Years

PROVIDENCE, April 7.-Complete re-
turns from all parts of the state show
the total vote on the state ticket to
be "a, 746, an increase of about TO-
600 over the largest ever polled be-
fore. The two parties raked every
city and town almost bare OF voters
and got out an unexpectedly and un-
precedently full vote in actual num-
bers and in proportion to a possible
vote.
Finished returns show a great Re-
publican victory OF the state ticket.
Brown (Republican,) for governor,
polled "a, AGA, Wardwell Democrat, J
23, ,3S5; Gilber (prohibitionist,) 1,5S1;
Burton (people's,) 1881, and there
were seventy-five scattering votes.
These figures show plurality OF
2,O79 for Brown and majority OF
22S.
Ball and Utter, Republican candi-
dates for lieutenant governor and
secretary OF state, are also elected by
small majorities. But there is no elec-
ton for attorney general and general
! treasurer. The cities of Providence,
Newport and Woonsocket went Dem
ocratic on the state ticket.
Legislative returns show a good Re
publican majority in both branches
already, with fifteen or twenty vacan-
cies to be filled In the senate the Re
publicans have thus far elected twenty
| three out OF thirty-six members and
in the house forty-one OF sixty-two
members. This gives them sixty-four
on Joint ballot. The control OF the
legislature by the Republicans gives
them the choice of their candidates
for attorney general and general treas
urer, and secures beyond doubt the
reelection OF Nelson W. Aldrich to the
United States senate.
The Republicans are feeling very
jubilant as they have secured every
thing desired.
PROVIDENCE, r. L., April Com
plete returns OF the state election give
Brown, Republican, 1876 majority
over Wardwell, Democrat; Melville
Bull, Republican, is elected lieutenant
governor 10y 1,O31 majority: George
H. Utter has 237 majority and is re
elected secretary of state; Samuel
Clark, Republican, lacked 147 of II
majority; Robert w. Burbank, Re
publican, lacks 6O7 of majority for
attorney general. The total vote cast
was "a, ,736. The legislature has IL
Republican majority of ID on join,
ballot, not counting the lieutenant
governor, who votes in the senate.
Two Democrat and one Republican
assemblymen are elected in this city;
another election will ensue for the re-
naming ten. Comstock, Democratic
candidate for senator in this city,
only lacked five of majority. By
official count in Newport two Demo
Gratis are elected and three are yet to
be chosen. The Republicans made a
clean sweep in Pawtucket, Lincoln
and Cumberland. Providence and
Woonsocket gave Wardwell major
ity for governor and Woonsocket re-
turned Democratic assembly ticket.
The Democrats gained an assembly
man in Foster, West Greenwich and
johnson, but losses in the supposed
Democratic strongholds of Newport,
Pawtucket, Lincoln and Cumberland
accomplished the rout. The COM
plexion OF the legislature insures the
return of Mr.. Aldrich to the senate.
