Seeking "A European Market.

]. p. Wethercll. of the Empire Zinc
Co. of Joplin, will go to Europe to in
vestigate the zinc mining industry, with
a view to opening. if possible, a market
abroad for surplus product of spelter.
The speltnr market in the United States Is
weak. owing partly to the depression in the
steel and iron trades. and prices are expected to
drop still lower. The production of zinc ore is
also increasing, and the depression in the spelter
market operates to keep down the price of ore
The price has dropped IS per ton
since November. 1890. and there is little
likelihood that there will be a Use soon.
Several shipments Of zinc ore have been
made to England. but the dem7nl from that
source has not been heavy enough to ba stay
to the orc market The American ores are
much richer than European ores, so much so
in fact that the freight charges on ores import
ed from the United States are not heavy as
TO Offset this advantage. but it is relatively
cheaper to import American spelter. and that
Is what has been done. The Empire company
has made one big sale Of metal and it may be
that way will be found to establish a steady
foreign demand that will relieve the domestic
market and be a stay to the mining industry.

Wire Service Crippled.

DENVER. Col, April $50 far as
telegraphic communication is concerned
this town has been practically cut off
from the east and south for forty-cight
hours by the storm which ragged over
the plains of Kansas and Nebraska.
Business messages were transmitted
subject to delay via San Francisco,
Portland and st. Paul to eastern points,
but the newspapers We're the greatest
sufferers from the lack of wires. The
United Press was fortunate enough to
have circuit in working order during
the entire period, and the Republican,
which is served by that organization,
was the only paper which published a
full telegraphic report.

doing fearful damage to crops, trees
and farm buildings. The following is
the estimate placed on the dead and
wounded as near as 1t can be ascertained
at this time:
South Haven, S dead and 3a injured.
Wellington, dead and % injured.
On farms between these two towns, S
dead and injured.
Towandn. II dead and 45 wounded.
Augusta, dead and 10 injured.
Homestead, 8 dead and injured.
Strong City. dead and S wounded.
Salina. so injured. fatally.
These towns are the only ones from
which anything like definite re-
port has been obtained and the
possibilities are that when the western
town and villages are heard from the
dead list will be swelled 10 nearly
100.
Among the strange stories told OF the
queer antics of the wind is that of Miss
Ella Thornton, of Towanda. who was
blown away by the storm and carried a
distance of half a mile. carrying a pill
low. She was blown through the side
of a wrecked barn, and deposited on the
back of n horse unhurt.
A Frightful and Continuous Gale.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. April S.-The st 10
seph mills and the Connect packing
house were leveled to the earth, and the
gas and electric light plants are bad
wrecks. A frame residence was twisted
from its foundation, and Mrs. Weaver
was so badly hurt that she will die.
The wires of the telegraph and
telephone companies were prostrated
and the operation of trains upon
the railroads centering here has
been almost completely suspended.
The storm was not in the nature of
cyclone. A terrific gale has continued
for fifteen hours. The damage done
to property in this city will reach $780,
900. 1t is reported that large number
of towns situated in Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa, near st. Joseph, have been
greatly damaged. but all communica-
ton with them is cut off. The town of
Bigelow, Mo-, forty miles north of here,
was almost completely damaged.

CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY.
Three old Alleged Liabilities Investigated
last Night.

Three old Alleged Liabilities Investigated
last Night.
A meeting Of the Council committee
on claims was held last evening, at
which three aged aud gray claims
against the city were once more talked
about, inquired into and laid over for
more light" Mary Gervin presented
a claim in October, 1891, that by the
raising OF the grade of North Main
street her property at 1873 Main street
had been damaged to the extent OF
5000. She said the water ran into the
lower story OF her house. She was
present, with L. S. Jordan, her attor-
ney. The committee asked about the
case, debated whether to pay the 5000 or
raise the house, and deferred action.
Dorothy Hans, who owns property at
Jacob and Forty.second streets, claimed
in September, '9l, that bad sewer had
flooded her premises, putting her to the
expense OF pumping out the cellar sew
eral times, and causing sickness in the
house. Dir. Ford, who was present,
said there was sickness in the family
due to the sewer. Mr.. Conif repre-.
scented the claimant. The sewer was
repaired some time ago. The commit
tee deferred action.
Peter Mauer has a claim for SO for
hauling pipe for the board OF public
works ia 1886. He wants interest on
that sum, too, His claim was long ago
investigated by the board, who rejected
it. He sued the city in Justices
court, and lost the case. Col. Arnett,
his attorney, and Mr.. Mauer had con-
siderable difficulty in understanding
each other last night, and apparently
the members OF the committee did not
quite understand either. At any rate,
they deferred action,

man, and in few remarks introduced
the speaker, Col. Jacob Kemple, who
with little preliminary entered into
discussion OF the issues, national and
state, devoting the greater part OF his
time to the tariH, with eloquent, prac-
tical and humorous illustrations, giving
number OF points aud votes from the
Congressional Record, slowing up John
o. Pendleton's course as inimical to the
interests OF the farmers, manufacturers,
skilled and common laborers OF this
district. He spoke from party history,
and challenged contradiction, and
handled the Democracy OF West Nir-
GINA without gloves, ontheir promises,
practices and general hypocricy. The
Colonel spoke for an hour. and was
frequently interrupted with cheers and
applause, and closed with splendid
