A Terrific Cyclone Crushes
Through the Towns Busi-
ness Portion.
But Five Buildings in the
Storms Track Left
Standing.
Several Persons Injured, but
No One Was Killed
Outright.

WILMINGTON, o., May 5.-A cyclone
of terrific proportions struck this beau
tiful city about o'clock this afternoon.
About noon threatening clouds began
to gather in the northwest. 1t rained
little about 2 o'clock and gave the ap-
pearance of clearing off for a,feW min
utes, when an ominous cloud again ap-
peared on the western horizon.
The cloud attracted little atten-
tiOn, but the few who watched
it saw two clouds come together
just west of town and form a rapidly
revolving circular cloud, which struck
the town on its western edge and trav-
eled directly eastward through the
business portion of the place and leav-
ing in It's wake debris and ruin. But
few places are left standing that en-
countered the storm. Almost in the
twinkling of an eye the storm was over,
and the half-frantic populace timidly
emerged to find the streets filled with
wrecked vehicles, wares, roofs Of all
kinds and fallen buildings.
Churches Wrecked.
The beautiful city hall, lately re-
modelled, was badly damaged, the roof
blown off and the interior soaked with
water. Every church in town except
the Presbyterian was badly wrecked.
The heavy bell on the Christian church
was blown some distance into the street,
and the spire was blown off and crashed
through the roof and the ceiling. The
Catholic church spire was left standing
while the remainder of the building
was demolished A small child at
the home of j. E. Belts was taken
out of bed asleep after the storm
while it was surrounded with bricks and
fallen timbers. 1t was miraculous that
no one was killed outright. Jonathan
Hartman and Caleb Hazard were seri-
ously hurt by falling timbers, and Will
lam Bloom and several others were
slightly injured. The wind blew so
furiously that small sticks ahd straws
were found imbedded in the weather
boarding of houses. The terrific rain
that followed the windstorm did much
damage, and men are working all night
to protect their property.

That is a mere bagatelle compared
with what it costs one really to see

AFTER THE BATTLE.
Belief That the Worst Has Been
Seen in Wall Street.

Belief That the Worst Has Been
Seen in Wall Street.
New YORK, May 5.-After the gavel
had fallen and the battle was over for
the day men went away in quieter
spots and looked the situation over
from a distance. In well-informed
financial quarters the feeling grew that
the worst has been seen in Wall street,
and from this time on matters will i'm
prove. On this theory, which had to
some extent obtained before the close,
and on the fact that certain houses,
whose names had been freely
mentioned as being in trouble
early in the day, pulled through
all right. numerous purchases
it was seen, had been made right through
the list. There had been a revulsion in
sentiment, and prices had bounded up
almost as rapidly as they had dropped
early III the day. James r. Keene was
a heavy buyer of American Sugar. his
brokers taking fully 10000 shares from
Ga up. One broker received an order
was selling at 80. All he was able to
secure was 400 shares at sc. This indi-
Gates the manner in which the market
moved in the last half hour. After
scanning the situation after the close
today, one of the governors of the eX-
change. and member of one of the
most conservative banking houses, said:
Il do not care to have my name used.
but you may say for me that think the
worst is over now. When Mr.. White
failed the last bubble was punctured
and we have reached bottom. We have
already had a pretty sharp rally, and
we shall probably have others with
some slow liquidation. | don't look for
any more failures. There may, of
course, be some, but they will be of the
small fry order, and who have no
appreciable effect on the market.
There has been great deal of money
lost, Of course. in thu decline, but a
good deal of it has been in margins,
which will show on the exchange.
Many members of the exchange have
no doubt sustained losses, but they
will be able to stand them. In my opin-
ion the stock exchange is now bargain
COUNTER
A rumor obtained at one time was
that S. Y. White would be taken care of
by certain of the sugar magnates. This,
however, could not be traced to any re-
liable source,

NORTH STATE TRUSTEES.
The Row Over Them Reaches the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., May 5.-The peni-
tentiary case was argued before the
supreme court today, the attorney gem
eral arguing for the new board, ap-
pointed by Gov. Shortridge, and Gen.
Hughes for the old board. The point at
issue is whether vacancy existed such
as contemplated by the law. The gov
ernOr's appointees were rejected by the
senate, and after adjournment the same
men were appointed. Defense argue
that where the law provides that ap-
pointments shall be made by and with
the advice and consent of the senate,
and the senate having refused to con-
firm the appointments sent in by the
governor. he should have sent in other
names, and that, falling to do so, no
vacancy existed under the constitution
OF the state, that the governor
could fill after adjournment of the legIs-
lature, and that the members of the old
board hold over until their successors
are legally appointed and qualified"
The attorney general raises a constitu-
tiOnal point on the right of legislature
to pass law giving the senate any au-
thOritY in the matter of appointments.
He claims it is a usurpatIon of the rights
of the executive. The case was strongly
presented by both sides, and on the
question of actual and constructive
vacancy, the defense cited a large num-
Der of decisions. The beginning OF the
controversy was political in its nature,
and much interest is attached to the
proceedings. The decision in this case
will also settle similar one regarding
the trustees of the Fargo agricultural
college.

has again been forced to succumb.
Shortly after 1890 o'clock this morning
Mr.. Whites suspension was read from
the rostrum of the stock exchange. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. White was
practically ruined about two years ago
in an attempt to corner" the corn mar
ket. He eventually made settlement
with his creditors and resumed business
at the stock exchange. He made con-
siderable money sin the industrials, but
like great many others, overstayed
his market. Mr.. White first came
into prominence by his mastery
handling of Delaware, Lackawanna q
Clafiin interest. The late Jay Gould
once said in an interview that the only
real leader in Wall street was Deacon"
White. Mr.. White was very much
broken up this morning. He was be-
sieged by his friends and brokers
through whom he had been dealing. 1t
was not until after 10 O'Clock that Mr..
White realized that an assignment was
necessary. No idea of the extent Of the
failure could be learned at the office
until 11:10 a. m, when Mr.. White made
this statement to the press:
"The unexpected drop in all securities
has made it impossible to realize on Sc
curities or collect margins to meet my
engagements"
When seen at his office after this an
nouncement, Mr.. White said:
'lf you want to know the reason OF my
suspension, you need only to look at the
tape. The terrific drop in the market
has used me up, and | was forced to
suspend. have large number of out
standing contracts which must be closed
out. Che drop in Sugar was one Of the
chief causes of my suspension
Mr.. White was seller of stock priv
ilegeS, and his present troubles are
largely due to that. His puts On the
market have been bought right and left
during the present crisis in the stock
market, and the rapid and severe decline
in the market has enabled the pur
chaSerS of his privileges to put stocks to
him at prices away above the market.
Mr.. White this morning was unable to
give definite idea of his liabilities, but
said he would make public statement
in day or Two.
Mr.. White said tonight that he eX-
pected to be able to resume payments
tomorrow. 1t is currently stated that
the Havemeyers, the wealthy sugar
men, have put up money enough $1,000,
900. it is said), to place Mr.. White on his
feet again. His principal losses, it is
reported, are iD Sugar and Manhattan
Elevated stocks. He has large amount
of Sugar privileges, out, on which the
losses are heavy.

sudden departure, when inquiries were
made concerning his financial standing.
His books were examined today, and

was found in his various accounts. He
was the treasurer of the A. o. U. w.

$3.50 belonging to that order. His larg-
est losers are citizens here of whom he
borrowed money in large and small
sums, and insurance companies which
he represented. 1t is not possible at
present to get full particulars. as GER
tain facts are being kept from the pub

a candidate for the Office of register of
deeds at the county election last fall.
He had good business faculties, but ne
had lately incurred number of debts
and made eXtravagant expenditures.

HULETT WILL CONTEST.
Testimony Showing Intimacy With
Mrs. Pomeroy.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, May Sin the
Hulett will contest today Mrs. Pomeroy
testified that she told Mrs. Zimmerman
and Mrs. Morgan that Hulett was mar
ried to her. She had been engaged to
Hulett twenty years ago, but had broken
off the engagement. After heated ar
gument on the question of why she
broke off the engagement, it was ruled
out. Hulett had told of his marriage
several times at his farm. She said
nothing about it until after his death.
A. L.. Brooks testified that he lived. on
the Hulett farm at Stony Point, and
was employed by Hulett from August,
1891 until the latter's death. AS far as
he knew Hulett and Mrs. PomerOy al
ways occupied the same room. In
the spring of 1892 he noticed them in
the same bed. He told Hulett there
was a lot of scandal going the rounds
relating to his intimacy with Mrs. .Pome-
roy. Hulett took Brooks to Mrs. Pome-
roy, who said there was nothing GRIM
inal between them. AT this point Mrs.
Pomeroy commenced to cry and sob.

CARLISLE NOT WORRIED.
Treasury Officials Think!the Spec
uIaUors Are Responsible.

ulaUOrS Are Responsible.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The panicky
condition of Wall street today, though
interesting the officials of the treasury
department, did not, they said, imme-
diately concern them, as the depart
ment was unable to aid the situation
there. That the trouble was not Seri
ously thought of is shown by the fact
that Secretary Carlisle only remained
at the cabinet meeting fifteen minutes,
and then went home. The matter was
not even discussed, There is feeling
among the treasury officials, though they
do not openly express it, that Wall
street spectators have brought the
present condition upon themselves and
that the government is not in any way
responsible for it. 1t is said at the
treasury that the time has passed when
the government can aid Wall street.
There was time when by purchasing
bonds relief might have been rendered,
but that condition has gone by, as the
government is not in position to take
such action. AS far as the treasury de-
partment was advised at the close of
business no gold had been taken from
the subtreasury at New York for export
Saturday. Small offers of gold con-
tinue to come in and are accepted.
