CINCINNATI, O., September 25.-John c.
Vaughan died at the Old Mems Home at
Walnut Hills, today, at the age OF eighty
six. He was once a distinguished figure
in Ohio. For several years he was the
editor and part proprietor OF the Cipcin-
natl Gazette, succeeding Charles Ham
mond in the editorship of that paper. He
was clear and forcible writer, and in the
early days of the anti-slavery agitation
was q leader in the Free Soil party. His
influence was conspicuous in calling the
first national convention of the anti.
slavery people. which nominated Van
Buren, and Adams, and he came within
two votes of being chosen to the United
States Senate from Ohio to the place
occupied by Salmon p. Chase. In 1845 he
left Cincinnati and founded the Cleveland
Leader. He was man who lacked the
faculty of doing as much for himself as
for other people. He drifted west to
Chicago, thence to Kansas, and few
years later he returned to Cleveland.
Seven years ago he came to this city, and
entered the home where he died and

SUNDAYS STORM
Created Havoc On q Number of Farms
in jackson Township,


I.R. Essig, q thrifty farmer of Jackson
township, was in the city Monday and
made this Office q pleasant call. Mr.
Essig relates that Sundays storm was
very severe in his township and did great
damage to farm property. The severity
of the storm was first noticeable at the
farm of Joseph Licbtenwalter. About
eight acres Of corn had been cut and the
corn was shocked up in the field. When
the storm had ended not a shock remained
standing, the corn having been scattered
over the field.
Mrs. John Sucker, whose farm lies east
of the Lichtenwalter place, owned wind
mill, which was utilized to pump water
from well. The wind mill was torn to
pieces by the fury of the storm and other
damage was done.
For a half mile further east the storm
did little or no damage, until the farm of
Hiram Clay was struck. Here the storm
acted like veritable cyclone. Fences
were blown all over the neighborhood,
and trees were uprooted and twisted off.
The damage will amount to considerable
sum.
/. r. EssiR's farm did not suffer by
reason of the visitation Of the storm, as
the cyclone apparently acted like huge
wave and jumped clear over Mr.. Essig's
farm, striking the Aver farm, east Of the
Essig farm. This farm is being worked
by Edward Busong. Fences were blown
down and other damage done. From
points east and west Of jackson town
ship reports come, tending to show that
the storm was one of unusual severity.

The Mortality from Cholera Has DE-
creased Considerably.


creased Considerably.
HAMBURG, Sept. 24.-The weather re-
mains cool and damp. There is no dust
and the air is kept clear by strong winds.
Should such favorable conditions con-
tinue for two weeks more, physicians
say the end of the period would find the
plague virtually extinct for the fall and
winter. The number of fresh cases to-
day has been 339, or S4 fewer than yes
terday; the number of deaths, 144, or 10
fewer than yesterday. The interments
have numbered 241, or 80 fewer than
yesterday. The hospitals contain 2,593
patients, or 1S4 fewer than yesterday
The majority of the patients in the hos
pitfalls are convalescent. By next Mon
day, when the sudden dimunition of
fresh cases will begin to be apparent,
the number of patients probably Will
have sunk to /, 200 or / 800, as hundreds
will be discharged as cured within the
peXt two days.
The board of health have been author
lied to destroy many houses in the sub
urbs which have suffered most from the
plague. The houses named for destSnC-
ton are tenements which have no sani-
tary conveniences and no adequate
means of ventilation. All Of them have
been occupied by laborers' families,
whose members have died off like sheer
during TIL plague. Seven houses ID
Barmbeck and three in Horn have loet
two-thirds of their occupants through
cholera in the last three weeks and they
are 80 thoroughly saturated with the
disease that no disinfection, the health
board say, could render them safe
After the disappearance of the disease
many other tenement houses will be e4
amined with a view to tearing them
down. These measures are deemed nee
essary to insure the city of immunitD
from return of the epidemic next year

Work of the Junior Mech anics.

EAsToN, Pa, Sept. 24.-During yester-
days session the State Council, Jr. o. U.
A. M, decided to reduce the per capita
tax from 80 to 2S cents. Several amend
ments to the constitution and bylaws
were adopted. Among the amendments
defeated was one dividing the state into
FIVE districts instead of three, as now
constituted. The charter fee was in
creased from $40 to SEQ. The salary of
the state councillor was fixed at $1,000
and expenses, and $500 clerk hire. The
state council secretary's salary remains
the same, 81 800. His clerk hire was
increased to $700.

Not Drunk

The rumor to the effect that the crews
on the i'll fated trains that were wrecked
at Shreve, we're drunk and had left for
parts unknown after the collision, is
without foundation. The crew of the
freight acknowledged that they had made
the blunder and gave themselves up, and
they do not like to be placed In such pos
aition. This crew had made the run from
PittsburR, and after hours of hard work
and waiting they were naturally sleepy.
The run Is entirely too long, and II such
accidents are to be averted the company
should take better care of their men and
not work them to death.-Alliance Critic,

soMgRBYs VICTORY.
Unanimously Re Elected Supreme Justice
of the order of the Iron Hall.

Unanimously Reelected Supreme Justice
of the Order of the Iron Hall.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 24.-Freeman B.
Somerby's plans were we'll laid. Yes
terday he was unanimously reelected
supreme justice of the Order of the Iron
Hall at the reorganization meeting in
the Royal Arcanum building. After the
election Mr.. Somerby made short
speech thanking the delegates for their
renewed expression of their confidence
In him. He then offered his resignation
of the office to which he had just been
elected, saying he did not wish to con-
tinue in the position and all he had de-
sired was vindication of the admins
tration of the affairs Of the order. This,
he said, had been given him by his re-
election as supreme justice. The meet
ing decided not to accept his resignation
and therein Mr.. Somerbys enemies
found cause for the statement that the
convention was packed with his friends,
while the others were excluded from
participation in its proceedings. The
latter claim that only fraction more
than half of the old policy holders were
represented at the meeting. They ad-
NIT that additional thousands want the
order reorganized, but they will have no
part Of Somerby and the other supreme
officers as leaders. The malcontents
prefer to have the affairs of the wrecked
Institution remain in the custody of the
court instead of again placing them in the
hands of the former officers. Mr.. Somer-
by, however, succeeded in having his
plan submitted by the reorganization
committee and adopted by the conven-
ton. 1t is substantially a scheme to
have the members of the Iron Hall to
hold on to their old certificates, take out
new ones in the new organization and
pay assessments until the court turns
over the funds to the new organization,
provided il can be induced so to act.

A New Phase of the Koons-clark Case
Mrs. CLARK Not Yet Fully Restores.


WASHINGTON, Sept. % e-ISpecisl.J lit
is now claimed by member OF the State
Staff, Ohio Department, that the payment
of the money involved In the Koons VS.
Clark case by Mrs. Clark does not restore
Mrs. Clark to position in the Department
Of Ohio. IL 10 claimed that the money
paid over, is only part of monies appro~
priated, and unless Mrs. Clark pays over
other monies she cannot be restored. The
other monies amount to much more than
the amount involved in the present case.
NOTE BY THE EDITOR.
Since this message came to hand we
have examined the record of the proceed
ings of Ohio Department, which met in
Piqus, May IL, 1892, and we suspect this
reference Is to money appropriated
by Mrs. Clark, from advertising in the
Journal OF Proceedings, OF the previous
year. Ia page 1888 OF Official Journal of
Proceedings of Piqua Convention, we
find resolution was adopted calling
upon Mrs. Ada Il. Clark to pay over the
monies collected for advertising, both on
the Roster and Journal of Proceedings,
and the Treasurer was ordered to collect
this money. Mrs. Clark gave notice OF
an appeal. 1t seems Mrs. Clark never
perfected her appeal, hence this action OF
the Piqua Convention is final, and unless
Mrs. Clark makes restitution of the money
collected as noted, she cannot be reinstat-
ed in Ohio. This may not be the exact
solution, but we infer this condition from
our Washington message.
