THE DEATH DEALER.

The record of destruction by the great

appalling known since the settlement of
the country. Exactly how many lives
lost will never be known; but tho death
roll probably runs to from one to two
thousand people. Two agents of devas.

all the lower portions of the coast. It is
a calamity almost unprecedented, in this
country, in it's horrors.
This is the second great elemental dis.
aster that the season has brought to the
people of our seaboard. The aubscrip-

subscribed to enable the unfortunate PEG

the consequences Of the tornado that Wis.,

II Not Settled Soon Ii May Involve Thir-

BUFFALO, Nov. 2S-The most serious
feature of the Lehigh Valley strike has
just come to light. The strikers will not
give up the fight until they have called
out every man on the thirteen lines from
Chicago east. Philip W. Sprilgweiler. a
Lake Shore engineer. who stands high in
the councils of both the Engineers aud
the Firemens Bro,herhood>, makes this
emphatic declaration:
''The federation of railroad employees" :"
said he must win this fight. and will
win it,
"Do you think such an extreme remedy
as calling out all men on the roads will be
necessary" he was asked.
Il do" he replied. This first fight Of
the federation must be won. The strug-
gle is not for wages but for recognition.
The road must recognize the federation 1t
any cost, and as the Lehigh will make .
desperate struggle not to yield look upon
. tie-up on all the competing lines a. most
likely. This would mean the greatest
railr0ad strike ever known, aud it would
involve 5000 men. But just as sure
~ the Lehigh shows signs Of winning
it will be ordered. The CHIEF ofIicers Of
the federation are about to 60 over the
road and see how matters stand. They
will be here in few days"

MILWAUKEE, Nov. Ex-Governor Peck
issued . proclamation calling for assist
ance for the unemployed and suffering
people at and near Hurley. The governor
will lie in this city to open headquarters
from which the entire work Of collecting
and distributing relief will be directed.
The procla nation calls for donations of
food and clothing of all kinds and states
that while it was MT the original inten-
tion 10 receive money it will be accepted
and receipted for. The governor urges
especially that contributions should be
sent Immediately, as the need is pressing,
especially as regards clothing, while food
will lie needed for some time.
The railroad aud express companies have
agreed to transport supplies free of charge
and the agents have been instructed to re-
ceive supplies to send to head quarters.
From the southern and tue western part
Of the state everything will be sent first
to Milwaukee. but from the northern part
Of the state will be held subject to the or
der OF the headquarters and sent to Hur-
ley as needed. 1t is thought that the Of
.ers will be generous. Expressions Of CO.
operation in the movement have been
coming in already.

ltna-Criminai News Notes.
CRNTRAlIA, Ills. Nov 23.-The reopen
ing of the old cistern on the McCtelland
farm has been completed. The work was
in charge of q special officer. who is mute
as to the result. 1t is known that another
lot of the red substance, supposed to be
blood, was found. and that it was well
mixed with human hairs. 1t is not
known whether another skeleton was
found or not. A visit to the old pond and
an interview with the workmen who made
the discovery of the skeletons revealed
another point heretofore overlooked. A
row of stakes had been driven in the mud
at the bottom OF the pond, making an in
visible fence across it, which, in case the
water got 200 low, would prevent the
stock from using that part Of the pond in
which the bodies were buried. These
stakes were about four feet in length and
were sharpened at one end and driven into
the mud to a depth of twenty inches, and
would not be visible unless the water WAS
very low.
News Eagerly Sought.
No boards or barbed wire have ever been
nailed to the stakes, ard there has never
been .ence crossing the pond that any
one can remember. 1t would require sew.
eral hours time to put the stakes in as
they were found, which makes the matter
look all the more mysterious. As these
