THE INSPECTORS or ELECTIONS.


The Democratic leaders who meant TO rule
and despoll the State Of New-York indefinitely
had secured the first essential condition of sue
cess when Mayor Grant converted the Police
Board Of this city from nOn-partsan TO Il
Tammany Commission in the spring Of 1850
TO do that they needed only to control the
Mayor. They had the power and they used 1t
remorseessly. The invariable practice Of many
years, possessing almost the sanctity of law
constantly cherished and defended BY the pco-
pie, was Overthrown and all the machinery Of
elections in this city was put in the hands Of
Tammany. This was a long step toward a
necessary to reach the goal, which only the
Legislature could take. For two years the
voters Of the State prevented the completion Of
the job by keeping the Democrats out of full
power ut Albany, and that was the lawful effect
of their votes in the election Of 1891. But mt
last Democratic vlllany was equal to the task
Of overthrowing the popular WILL the Legis-
lature of 1892 was made Democratic by the
theft Of the Senate and the long sought oppor-

Of that session. One monumental outrage is

II is a great satisfaction to announce that the

confusion, which had continued since
the members assembled at IL a. m. 1t
might further be said, the disorder was
but a continuation Of the riot of Monday

The very last business transacted yes
terday was the passing of resolutions
giving an increase of pay TO house EN-
ployes, except the pages, who got left
in the shuttle. A resolution to pay S2l1
for expenses incurred by the Markham
investigating committee had been voted
down at IL M. because the amount was
considered exorbitant. But later on
Mr.. Greer presented resolution direct

orders for the amount; and also for

TOPEKA, Kan, April 1S.-A report
reached this city tonight that cy-
clone passed three miles east of
Usage City at 5 O'Clock this afternoon,
doing considerable damage One wo-
man is known to have been killed, and
a number of persons were injured. The
full extent of the damage cannot be
learned, as the telegraph wires IN the
vicinity of Usage City were Frustrated.
All wires west of Topeka are also down
and it is feared that a tornado may have
swept across the central portion of the
state. Communication with Usage City
was resumed at a late hour tonight
and the first reliable information of
the storm obtained. The storm wrecked
thirty three buildings, including
the Union Pacific railway depot and
other property. The loss will be heavy.
But one life was lost. Lodoun, Kan,

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 18.-News
was received here today of a fearful
cyclone in Fourehe valley, Scott
county. The town of Boles was
almost entirely destroyed. Seven per-
sons were killed and large num-
ber injured. The path of the storm
was a half mile in width, and every
thing was swept before it. The bodies

over half mile by the storm. 1t is I'M
possible to get full particulars, but it is
known that at least seven persons were

larger.
OSAGE CITY. Kan, April 1S.-A bout
4:30 this afternoon one of the worst cy-
clones that ever visited Kansas struck
this city, and in short space OF
time forty buildings had been
wrecked and several lives lost.
While the citizens of this quiet city
were attending TO their daily Work a dis
astrOus storm was brewing, and
before any one had time to prepare
themselves against its fury it was upon
them in all its terrible strength.
Mothers clasped their children in their
arms and rushed to places of conceal
ment. but to no purpose. The cyclone
soon laid in waste the houses over
their heads. The number of victims Is
hard to determine. 1t is roughly
estimated that the number of building S
destroyed are from sixty to eighty.
Eight persons are said to be killed.
The track of the storm comprises bnSi-
ness houses and residences. As soon
as the storm had passed those who
were uniDjdred rushed from their
houses and attempted to help those who
were piled under the debris. At late
hour only two bodies had been rec ov-
cred, those of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Wagner, colOred.
Devastation and Death.
PARIS. Ark, April IA cyclone
passed over this section Monday, carry
ing devastation and death in Its wake.
A large scope Of country was
laid waste in the vicinity of
Roseville. The loss will foot
up thousands of dollars. All the planta-
tiOns along the Arkansas river for miles
below the town were swept bare, houses
barns and fences being levelled. On
the Fitzworth plantation several
heads of fine blooded horses
were killed. A family of five colored
people was carried away, two of whom
were fatally injured by flying tim5ers.
The town of Bowels. in Scott
county, Arkansas, was destroyed
by cyclone last night. Seven
persons were killed in the village.
There is no approximating damage to
the life and property in the surround
ing country. A mother and two chill
dren were blown completely away.
The funnel-shaped cloud Scooped down
on the place, wiped it out and then
swept everything in its path for a dis
tance OF fifteen miles. 1t covered
space of half mile wide.
Thought to BE Fake.

2 O'Clock Wednesday morning nothing
further has been learned of the cyclone
which was reported to have destroyed

happy play upon the ensemble in gen
eral and the candidates in particular, but
he was predispoSed to support the NOM
ination of Gen. Sanborn, he said.
Senator Sanborn was elected. Senator
McHals developed the Democratic sup
port due to him, II. and Senator San
born had "a Republican partisans to
support his candidacy. Senator Lom-
men only received votes, and he voted
for Donnelly. Senator Sanborn was
given the honor, and he made feeling
address of thanks. He was escorted to
the chair by Senators Crandall. Bell and
DOnnelly, and by Senator Stevens, who
occupied the chair.
Mr.. SanbOrn referred earnestly to his
thirty-three years. legislative eXDeri
ence, and said when he looked around
him and saw how many had gone he
felt like the man described by the poet
who stood alone in the "banquet hall
deserted" The changes in the govern
ment during these years and what has
been done for the human race. He re-
ferred to the work of this senate and
the character of its members, cOnstitut-
it as the best that had come under his
observation. He declared if there had
been no election of officers one would
hardly have known there were several
parties represented.
A committee had been appointed by
the,lieutenant governor to wait upon
the governor to learn ii he had further
communications to make to the senate,
and at this point Senator Day, from the
committee, reported that the chief eX
ecutive had nothing to communicate.
President ClOugh took the chair to
express his SincereSt thanks for the
kindnesseS and appreciation that had
been manifested throughout the session
by the members, and he did not overlook
the newspaper reporters. In an eSpe-
clally handsome speech he conceded that
the reporters are important factors in
session of the legislature. and he was
StraightWay called to The Judiciary COM
mittee room by the reporters. and here
enSued the event Of the day. 1t was a
touching episode. Franklyn Lee, of
the News, made the address in his
prettiest and most pathetic strain. He
presented Mr.. ClOugh with an elegant
rosewood and Zinc-Iined cigar safe on
the part of the newspaper boys. Mr..
Clough was almost overcome with emo
tion, but he found words to express his
appreciation, and there is not a news
paper worker who does not thoroughly
and completely appreciate the event.
No one has done more to aid the news
paper labOrerS than Mr.. Clough, and he
has done it because he is in full sym.
pathy with them and because he knows
they have been honest in their recitalS
of the incidents of the session.
The legislature adjourned sine die
when it was finally announced that the
bills had been enrolled.

LOUISVILLE. April 1S.-The mystery
attending the disappearance OF
Charles Ingersoll Maury from
the city has at last been solved. Last
night the body OF man vas found
floating in the river near Aurora, Ind,
which was thought to be that of young
Maury. Maury's home was in Phila-
delphia, where his family is regarded
among the best people IN the city.
Maury was twenty-four years old. From
the time Maury first disappeared it was
thought that he had taken his
life out of remorse for his weak
ness. He had spent fortune in
fast living. He had mania for
gambling, and on one occasion he
made partnership play with friend
in which S1,15O was lost at the faro
banks. The friend in question put up
the money, and when they came to set
tie Maury gave him check on a bank
in st. Louis. The check was returned

that ne thought his actions had brought
upon him as soon as he realized what
he had done, and became so Wretched
that he left Louisville Sunday night,

reading of an opinion from the attorney

Mr.. jacobson said the opinion of the
