One of the most remarkable instan-
ces in history of death by fright is that
of King Frederick of Prussia. He was
actually scared to death by his wife. Hewas
one day sleeping in an armchair, when
his queen. Louisa of Mecklenburg, who
had been hopelessly insane for some
time. escaped from her keepers ard made
her way to his private apartments. AS
mentioned above, Frederick was DOING
when his wife, dressed in pure white
gown. dashed through the plate glass In
the door and threw herself in o raging
delirium upon him. In breaking the glass
she of course cut herself most horribly.
The king had not been apprlsed OF the
hopelessness of her case, and was aston
ished beyond measure at the appearance
Of the woman, clad only I'D Ilnen ana
covered with blood. His shrieks aroused
the whole palace, but when the queen
had heen secured the king himself was
fomnd @ to be in raging delirium. From
th tb;s he never recovered, but died trying
to hide from terrible phantoms.

Tho Minnesota Tornado.

MINNEAPOLIS. MIMI, June H.-News
of the tornado which devastated Southern
Minnesota Wednesday evening is very
hard to get. Telegraph wires are down
for miles, and the railroads which pene-
trate the stricken region are practically at
standstill. ALI the information obtain
able comes from isolated survivors of the
storm, and the facts have to be gathered
from widely separated points.
From all the reports at hand so far, the
loss of life will probably reach fifty, and
the list Of the injured will run into hun
dreds. No estimate Of the property loss
is that it will undoubtedly run into seven
figures. The town of Wells, in Fairbault
County, seems to have suffered most Sc
verely from the storm. It is reported that
fifty persons were killed In that village
alone, but these reports Ire probably ex-
aggerrated. The storm is described by an
eyewitness as cloud of midnight black
ness boiling, seething mass, going in
an easterly direction.
It was in Farrbault County that the loss
oflife principally occurred. The afternoon
had been sultry and dense; overhanging
clouds seemed almost to touch the
ground, while not breath of air stirred.
Later heavy downpour OF rain set In,
and at about 5.SU o'clocK, pTeceueo ny
wind from the Northwest, huge funnel
shaped cloud was noticed by people liv-
ing west of Wells. It advanced rapidly,
with loud, roaring, grinding sound,
and first touched the earth near Jackson,
two miles west Of Sherburne. The Sill
yerton school, four miles north Of Sher-
burne, was torn to pieces by the cyclone:
Miss Maggie O'Hare, the teacher, and all
the pupils, sixteen in number, were Sc
riously and some six are thought fatally
injured. Wherever building was de-
stroyed it was so totally and utterly de-
molished that not a vestige Of it was left.
Trees and telegraph poles were broken of
or twisted out Of shape. At one place
where the cyclone struck, eight houses in
succession were destroyed, and at Anchor
the place was 30 completely wiped ot the
face of the earth that no trace of it or its
occupants could be found. though search
was made. g.,
The path of the storm was strewn with
machinery, clothing, pieces Of furniture,
wagon wheels, ears Of corn and every
imaginable thing.
This is only sample of the storm, as
it was probably forty miles in extent. 1t
was followed Immediately By heavy
rains. a.,
Ten men arc reported killed in the
neighborhood of Mapleton and twenty In
jured.

DID THEY CONDEMN THIRD PARTY.

The majority of the delegates in the late
May State Convention were Tillmanites.
As the majority they were responsible for
every action Of that Convention. The
Conventional q. g., the majority,) created 1:
Committee on. Resolutions, and Of course
the majority ofthe Committee were In full
accord with the majority of the Conven-
ton, and, us the sequel proved, the ma
jority Of the Convention were in full ac-
cord with the majority Of the Committee,
for they sustained the Committee in every
action they took.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
favorably every resolution handed them,
except the following, which were handed
in by minority member of the Conyen-
ton:
Resolved, That the integrity and success
Of the Democratic party in the South are
menaced by the third OK peoples party,
and we condemn those who are instru-
mental in spreading its membership and
advocating its platform as ensmies Of the
Democratic party.
.Resolved, That to make the position OF
the South Carolina Democracy clear and
unmistakable we denounce the st. Louis
platform, which is being used to support
the pretentions Of the third party in the
South.
The above resolutions only, of the
many handed in, were reported "unfavor-
ably" by the Committee, and the Conven-
tion q. O., the majority, } by vote acquiesc-
cd in the conclusions Of its Committee.
Col. D. z. Norris represented the An
derson delegation on that Committee. We
believe it is true that the entire An
derson delegation was part of the ma
jority and did not by word or vote dissent
from any action taken.
The Editor of the Advocate was dele
gate to that Convention, and yet he says
that The State Convention did not vote on
resolutions condemning the third party,
etc. Asrabize dictx!
The Editor above named says he was a
member of the majority and voted with
the majority on every resolution.
Now, the voters Of the County can an
swer for themselves these two questions
\ Did the May Convention vote on reso-
lutions "condemning those who promul-
gated third party principles throughout

vote or influence or by both, directly OF
