Tornado in Canada.

MONTREAL, June 18.-St. Rose, 4 fashiona-
BILE SUMMER resort near Montreal, has been
wrecked by wind.
With hardly a warning, a cyclone struck
the village. carrying everything before it.
Houses were carried away. Trees were torn
from their roots. AniInals were carried away
by the wind and deposited in the fields acres
distant.
Two miles from the village the cyclone
struck a small wooden school house, tearing
it to pieces like a match box. The little stu
dents were scattered like leaves and Miss La
Calsse received blow on the head, stunning
her. and she was found in the ruins of the
building. She received serious injuries about
the spine and here chances of recovery are
doubtful.
The children were carried in all directions
by the wind, and in some cases set down in
adjacent fields yards from the school. Out
of the twenty-five two of them were dead
when found, one died shortly after; twelve
are seriously wounded and the remainder are
more or less wounded.
Many farm buildings were destroyed and
people killed and hurt.
The cyclone also played havoc in other
villages as 1t swept along. AT st. Therese n
school house, in which there were forty chill
dren, was blown down, two of the children
being killed and many injured. At Lachutu
most terrific thunder storms, accompanied
by heavy downpour of rain and hail, took
place.

teacher and eighteen scholars. The building
was demolished and the teacher and fifteeI
scholars killed
At Easton three buildings were destroyed
and several people injured.
Llndon was visited and many houses were
torn from their foundations. One family,
composed of man. his wife and child, were
killed and the others were injured. large
grove of trees were completely uprooted.
The storm passed on eastward destroying
farm houses, barns, and in fact everything
IN IFS path. At Wells several people we're in
jured.
-Four miles south of Minnesota Lake five
farm houses and their buildings were caught
IN the storm and utterly demolished. Four
people were killed. The wife of John Brown
and school teacher were also injured. Sec
ton men suffered severely. Much damage
was done south of Wells and it is reported
that forty to fifty killed south and west of
that village.
As most of the damage was done in the
country, reports are slow in coming in be-
because OF the pFostration of wires.
1t Is impossible to get list of those killed
or wounded. Probably not less than 100
were wounded, and as they were mostly in
the country, distant from medical aid their
sutterings were terrible.

Affairs at Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 17.-Judging from express
sions of the Chicago delegates to the national
democratic convention, there will be a coali-
ton of Palmer and Morrison in this state to
prevent the nomination of Cleveland next
week. The vote of Illinois will probably be
cast for Palmer on the first two ballots. Then
Morrison may come IN for some support.

Ease of pronounced development of a belief
that New York fractional fight makes Cleve-
land or Hill unavailable. That decision was
reached in a conference held by seVreal
prominent democrats who stand high in the
party.

that 1900 New York democrats will be hero

of the May convention. In addition to IA
delegates and alternates chosen at Syracuse,
and large number of democrats favorable
to the nomination of Cleveland several clubs

from Brooklyn and New York, will reach tho

Forty-Flve Go Down to Death.

CINCINNATI, o., June 1Z.-One of the most
fearful accidents in the history of this vicin-
ity was that of a fall of a bridge which was
in course of construction over the Licking
river, between CovIngtOn and Newport. Ken
lucky. Forty-fve workmen were on the
structure. So far as Is now known only two
escaped unhurt. The Others were either
killed by the crashing of the iron and tim
bers or were drowned in the water.
The cause is surInised to be the weakening
of the false work. The river has washed out
the earth about the supports; and il is said
one of the contractors SAID day or two ago
that he was afraid the structure would not
stand under the weight of the heavy material.
But still they kept at work.
A force of fOrty-three men, under the direc
ton of Robert and William Baird, contrac-
tors, were engaged in putting in place the
heavy iron work on the main span. Sud
denly, without warning, there was a crack
ling sound of breaking timbers, q sudden
swaying of the structure, and a headlong
plunge of the whole mass of timbers, iron
and helpless workmen into the muddy waters
of Licking river, fifty feet below. 1t was al
most like the laundering of a ship. A very
few forms were seen to be struggling on the
surface; Others were drowned or crushed by
the material. In a short time the river was
liEed with rescuers on both sides, and by
their efforts something of the horrible story
was revealed.
Seventeen bodies were taken out of the
river, twelve are still missing, and six Others
were rescued alive, but are fatally injured.
Only two men escaped so far as Is known

State Street Fared Worst.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The storm was much
more destructive than first reports indicated.
At least seven or eight lives were lost in Chi
clgO 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 q list of the killed and in
lured: killed-Gustave Doring, Emma
Kilen, John Michou, Charles ]. Roberts,
Harvey Stewart, and three unknown men.
The most seriously injured were n. Burns
E. Ericsson, John Lial, will die; William
Lossea, may die; Z. Oldson, may die; Mrs.
JENNIE Paddy, is in a critical condition Mrs
Shoal, May Wester.
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 2305 to the one in front Of 294S
was snapped asunder.

OaIashurn- III. Wrankad

GALEsBURG, Ill, June IA destructive
tornado passed over the northwestern part of
the city. 1t destroyed the Fremont church,
which was at the time occupied by the con-
gregation. A number of people were in
jured, one dangerously. The escape of the
congregation from death seems miraculous.
In the rink was meeting of a committee
on the celebration of the Fourth of July. The
building was blown down, but the occupants
escaped injury.
Nearly every business house on the princi-
pal street was unrOOfed and many stocks
flooded with water.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy round
house was demolished. the Rock Island de-
pot destroyed and other buildings partially
wrecked.
The house of August Olsen was blown
down and Mrs. Olsen killed instantly, the
others escaping by some miracle.

Senator HIlI's Vote EstInated


NEW YORK, June 15.-Up to this week the
managers of Senator Hills canvass for the
presidential nomination, had not given out
any figures tending to verify their clam that
the senator has more THAI even chance to
win at Chicago. Last week a prominent
leader of Tammany said Hill would have at
least 2GO votes on first ballot and Cleveland
probably 700. The national delegates from
the mldWlnter state convention Yesterday
eanvassed the roll of states carefully, with
these resulting totals: Total delegates, S98;
necessary to choice, (two-thirds), 500. Cleve-
land 452, Hill 336; Palmer As; Carlisle IS (;
Boles 20. These figures are arrived at by
splitting delegations, but it is believed most
OF the states viii adopt the unit rule If
they do, Hills vote will be reduced to 2l5
and Cleveland's increased to 576; or within
= OF the requisite number. In this event the
vote OF either Iowa or Illinois would nomi-
nate the eX-president, unless South Carolina
and Virginia, whose delegations are claimed
TO be equally divided, should cast their -
votes for Hill They feel confident that if
Cleveland does not win in two ballots his

Lake MInnetonka Eoama.

Point, Lake Minnetonka, was visited by a
small cyclone which formed on the surface
of the lake and swept across the peninsula
with irresistible force. The residence of
Geo. A. Bracket was wrecked and all the
fine trees surrounding the house, most of
them fifty years growth, were uprooted and
now lie in a tangled mass in the cellar of the
wrecked cottage. Hardly a tree is left stand
ing along the route taken by the wind. Aft

across the lake where it apparently dispersed

more than mile. That there was no loss of
