A FIERCE CYCLONE.
It Wrecked a School House and
Stunned the Teacher.
TWO CHILDREN WERE KILLED.
Four Others were Injured Fatally AT
Least Dozen were Hurt. and the En-
tire School Scattered Like Lesves-A
Tragedy In East Canada.

STE. ROSE, Que, June l6.-Ths little vile
lage of Ste. Rose, . fashionable summer
resort near Montreal, was struck BY .
cyclone yesterday afternoon. Houses
were carried away by the storm, huge
trees were torn from their roots and anil
mails were borne long distance through
the air.
Two miles from the village was q school
where rs children were being taught BY
their young teacher, Miss Lacaisse. The
cyclone tore the school house TO pieces.
The students were scattered like leaves
and Miss Lacaisse received blow on the
head which stunned her.
She was found I'm the ruins Of the
building. She received serious I'M uries
about the head and spine and her chances
OF recovery are doubtful. The children
were carried In all directions by the wind
and In some cases were set down In ada
cent fields.
Two of the children were dead when
found, one died shortly after, n were 80
riously wounded and the remaifder are
more or less In jured. The bodies Of the
children were terribly disngured. Var
are not exp3cted 70 i've. The storm
travelled over the village without doing
marked damage.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, June 16.-At eight
o'clock last night, at Sailors Hall, State
Delegate John p. Murphy Of Norwich,
called to order the state convention Of
the A. O. III. There were about 80 dele
gates in attendance, but no business was
transacted. Adjournment was taken un-
Til today. A bitter fight for the state
delogateship 10 promised, although 1t
looks at present as though Col. Murphy
will succeed himself. His only rival is
John Bransfield Of Portland. John ID.
Cunning ham will, in all probability sue
coed himself as state secretary, and p. d.
Ryan will be reelected state treasurer.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
IL Saved Very Serious Disaster In . Chic
opee Gas House.

II Saved Very Serious Disaster in Chic
opee Gas House.
CHIcoPEK, Mass, June 16.-The boiler
and purifying houses Of the Chicopee Gas
Company were blown to pieces in ter
rible explosion at $40 yesterday after
noon. Thomas Bagley discovered gas
leaking and rushed up stairs, shouting to
Patrick Linnehan, the only other employe
in the building, to shut of the value. He
had scarcely done this when the explo-
sion came.
Linnehan was thrown down the stairs
and although stunned, had the presence
Of mind to crawl over and close the pipe
to the big receiving tank, thus averting
q worse disaster.
Thomas Bagley was pulled out Of pile
of debris, very badly burned. His escape
from instant death was miraculous. The
company made water gas and also had
the electric light station, which was
shattered and unroofed. The ruins took
fire immediately but the fremen got the
flames under control.
The loss will not exceed 5000, but the
city In in darkness. The cause Is proba-
bly, leaking gas from the main leading to
the purifying room, which was ignited
by the boiler fire.

ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS,

CHICAGO. June 16.--About the first thing
that arriving visitors in Chicago do Is to
walk down to the lake for look at the
mammoth "wigwam" in which the con-
vention Is to be held. There Is but one
comment-that of mingled disgust and
fear.
Imagine an enormous dry goods box
90 huge as to cover an ordinary city block
and you have an accurate picture OF
what the convention building looks like.
It's walls are simply pine planks nailed
10 pine uprights and braced with pine
ioists. It's roof was of canvas, but this
has been destroyed by storm and work
men are now putting up pine roof, COW
cred with tarrcd paper. This roof Is SO
heavy that the contractors themselves are
disputing whether the thin board walls,
intended only to support a canvas cover
ing, will OF. will not collapse under the

are TO be placed tiers OF pine galleries.
which are expected ITO sustain the tons OF
weight of some II, 600 able bodied Demo
Gratis, whose bourbon breath may be ex-
pected to make the atmosphere still more
infammable. The whole structure looks
like fire trap ready to be set off by
spark, and to result in what the Chicago
newspapers would call a holocaust.
AS even Republicans do not wish such a
fate for their friends, the enemy, the
thoughtful citizens Of Chicago are begin
ming to discuss seriously the possibilities
of a disaster by fire and the scarcely less
perilous possibility of collapse Of a
of the whole building by the tremendous
vibrations and oscillations caused by
cheering, shouting, and the simultaneous
stamping Of 36, 900 Democratic feet.
Col. Dick Bright Of Indiana, who will
probably be sergeant-at-arms Of the con-
vention, said to-day:
"a single spark In that structure might
cause untold loss of life Smoking will,
of course, be forbidden. but / am going to
ask everybody on the platform, including
the newspaper men, to set a good example
10 the delegates and the audience not only
by not smoking, but by not even putting
unlighted cigars in their mouths"

woBuRS, Mass, June is.-The employees
OF the Russell Counter Company at Wo-

were told not to return until sent for.
This action was occasioned by q demand
made by 10 cutters for an increase of one
dollar q week In wages. The company

men, and docs a large business. Mr.. Rus

satisfied we will yet find most of them"
"What paper are you with sir" said DR..
Allen turning to the interviewer.
THE SENTINEL" was the reporters
answer.
''The papers," said the doctor, "have
treated us very unfairly in this calamity,
calling the institution death-trap. They
also claim that the catastrophe was one
that was constantly expected. Now look
at that Office" he continued "is it fair to
suspicion that a fire might get started
there2 That building sir was as safe as is
any in the city. And the old building
about which there has been so much COM
ment was burned only on the roof and
upper floors.
The patients had sufficient warning for
all to leave the buildings in safety, and
have been assured that every person in
the building was aroused"
'lt is the arrangement and manner in
which the old building is cut up, doctor,
over which the complaints have been
made"
"Well, Fire Chief Webster visited the
institution two weeks ago and made an
inspection, and said it was as safe as any
hotel in the city.
There are nine stairways and means of
escape in the old building. and the loss of
life was due to fright and delay of some
who stopped to secure clothes and some
trinkets.
Il suppose, however, that the papers
wrote their accounts under the influence
of excitement and really said some unin-
territorial harsh things"
