CHICAGO, June 15.-This city has been Wis
tied by q severe storm. One person was
killed, many painfully injured and much
damage done to property. The great wig
wan on the Lake front, in which the demo
cratic national convention Is to be held next
week, was badly wrecked.
The storm came from the northwest. &C
companied by terrific thunder, ram and hail.
In the west division of the city trees were
broken down, awnings torn of and windows
shattered. Several buildings in the course
of erection were wholly or partially wrecked.
brick cottage at 1896 Whipple street was
demolished, two year-old Emma Klima killed
instantly, and her mother and another child
badly injured.
Seventy-five men we're a. work in the big
democratic wigwam when the quarter pole
holding the northeast corner of the umbrella
shaped canvas roof gave way and tore
through the canvas. The wind got under it,
the guy wire snapped like twlne and an in
slant later the great nine-foOt center mast
snapped and fell with a crash, running hun
dreds of chairs. The canvas cover went to
The workmen marvelously escaped injury.
Contractor Allen says the damage to the
wigwam will amount to fully 5000. He
will have it repaired ready for the convention.
The storm played havoc with great piles OF
lumber in the district about Blue Island
avenue and Twenty-second street. For half
an hour the air seemed full of flying boards
and shingles, and the loss in lumber will be
heavy.
Three people in one yard were badly in
jured.
Some idea of the storm may be cleaned
from the fact that a six-inch timber was
picked up and driven endwise through box
car standing near by.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The storm was much
more destructive than first reports indicated.
At least seven or eight lives were lost in Chi
cago and vicinity, and seventeen persons
were more or less injured, while it will prob
ably take hundreds of thousands of dollars to
repair the damage done by the tornado.
The following is a list of the killed and in
jured: killed-Gustave Doring, Emma
Kilen, John Michou, Charles J. Roberts,
Harvey Stewart, and three unknown men.
The most seriously injured were N. Burns,
E. Ericsson, John Lial, will die; William
Lossea, may die; E. Oldson. may die; Mrs.
JENNIE Paddy, is in a critical condition; Mrs.
Shoal, May We.ter.
The storm was the most violent on State
street, between Twenty-third and Thirtieth
streets. While it lasted, its path on State
street was the scene of intense terror and ex-
element, and the people between Twenty
third and Thirtieth streets every moment
dreaded death, and there was reason for their
fear, for there was a continuous flying of
bricks and signs and limbs of trees and the
crashing of glass and telegraph poles. On
the west side of State street every telegraph
pole from 23O6 to the one in front of 29AS
was snapped asunder.

An Uprising of Negroes Predicted.

An Uprising of Negroes Predicted.
ST. Paul, MIMI, June 16-JudGe Albion
W. Tourgee is reported as saying:
IF there is not marked change in the at
titude of the country toward the colored race,
we shall have within the next ten years q
massacre such as has not been paralleled
since the French revolution. The gravity Of
the danger which threatens US is not appre-
clated. am amazed that the negro has been
SO patient under the intense persecution
which he has had to endure.
Since the proclamation of emancipation
there have been more colored men murdered
by whites in the south than there have been
days in all the years that have elapsed. And
vet of that fearful array of crime justice has
only avenged four. Just think of it. The
persecution which is showered upon the negro
in the south knows no amelioration. Tho
Christian church Endorsed slavery and has
transmitted to its adherents that hatred of
the race
Judge Toursee also expressed the opinion
warmly that the republican party was not
doing it duty toward the colored men.

fusion. At one time the Blaine men cheered
and yelled, paraded with banners and kept
up their racket for twenty-seven minutes; at
another time the Harrison men made fully as
