Chicago, April 2I.-Nesterday the
Worlds Fair grounds combatted the most
violent rain and wind storm that has visit
ed Chicago in many years. AT times the
wind attained a velocity Of nearly sixty
miles an hour and roared like artillery.
The Manufacturers building suffered
most. Tons Of water anne in through the
roof, but mainly ina portions where no eX-
hibits were installed. The entire force Of
guards and the fire department were reused
out OF bed at midnight, and for hours
swept the a~ccumulating water back from
the piled-up wares in the exhibit section.
Some OF IitIauy's costly wares were
moved barely in time and covered with
|tarpaulin. Some of the most magnificent
decorative paintings in the Freuch section
were directly under the worst OF the water,
but were not uupacked, Their condition
viii uut be known until they are opened.
Some idea of the force Of the gale can be
gathered from the fact that the waves from
the lake swept up the big stone beach,
across the spacious promenade and flooded
the Dauistyle, Casino and music hall, or
nearly 500 feet from the regular water
mark in calm weather. The bamboo fence
around the Japanese village was leyeled,
and the windmill forced over, with great
damage TO property in the partially COM
plotted structures.
Reports just received from the park say
there is a hole 2j0 feet large in the manu-
lecturers building over the Russian and
Engli. n exhibits. Part of the roof of the
music hall has giveu way. and a large sec
tion Of glass isout of the roof of the horti-
cultural building. There are numerous
leaks in the government, electricity and
mines building.
The big tin roof Of Buffalo Bills building
was blown 100 feet away. Nearly the
entire front of the Guatemala building is
gone.
AT Fifty-Fifth street down to Thirty
Ninth street an enormous sea swept over
the breakwater OF the Illinois Central
track, and threatened to sweep away all
the new tracks to the fair, A force of 100
workmen and all of the available engines
We're kept all night to prevent the track
being swept away.
The three-ma,ted schooner L.. 7. Dyren-
forth, crew aboard, was driven ashore at
the foot of Nelrose street, four miles north
of the mouth of the Chicago river. The
schooner had bufleted the high seas for
hours, but after daybreak, a flag Of distress
was hoisted.

MmwAUEEE, Wis, April 2l.-The worst
gale that has swept over Lake Michigan for
81 us prevailed all day yesterday, doing an
immense amount Of damage to shipping
and property along the lake front. Aany
Times during the day the wind attained a
velocity of siXty-eight miles an hour,
sweeping huge seas over the breakwater
and wreckiug many small buildings occu-
pied by ''squatters' along the beach. More
than a dozen coal barges, freight steamers
and scuooners were stove in and almost
wrecked 10y being pounded against their
piers by the massive waves that came tum-
bling in with such foroe as to sweep every
thing before them.
Several tugs and other small craft were
driven ashore and battered to pieces, the
terrible force OF the storm rendering the
breakwater Of very little value so far as af-
fording shelter was concerned.
Much apprehension is felt for the safety
of vessels that are known to have beer
caught outside in the storm. 1t is the
opinion Of vessel men here hat none but
the s|taunchest boats could have w~eathered
the gale of yesterday and the news Of death
and disaster on ths lake will be no sur
prise to them.

Colonel Berry's magnificent plantation
was swept clean, but none of his family
was injured.
DIR. r. j. Erousc, one Of the largest plan
tation owners in the south, was a heavy
loser. Every stick Of timber ON his place
was carried away and every house dcmol-
ished. DR.. krouse was badly injured. His
son had his skull crushed and his wife and
daughter we're hurt.
A negro ON DR.. Krouse's plantation
named Henry Gerpon, with his wife and
nine children, were imprisoned under the
the ruins Of his cabin, and fire originating
from the kitchen stove slowly roasted them
so death.
Three miles east of Barnett the wind
struck q nclGnDofuOOu Oh farms. LON
Lots dwelling was swept away, his legs
broken and other members of the family
slightly bruised. John Smiths house was
l-yeled and he received serious injuries.
Frank McCormick's turpentine still was
ruined. b. r. Lcgget's store was destroy
ed aud his stock OF merchandise is now
hanging in shrOds upon the branches Of the
forest trees. Legget's wife and children
were buried in the ruins, which caught
ire and would have cremated them but for
.hr timely arrival Of n~eighbors. A little
urthur ON three negro cabins were struck.
Two negroes were killed and several badly
wounded.
Twenty miles east of Barnett the storm
crossed the Memphis and Ohio railroad
track. The telegraph poles and wires for a
distance of five miles along the track OF
the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad
are down.
Crossing the Memphis and Ohio's tracks
north OF Shuberta, the storm created havoc
among the negro cabins on the different
Plantations. Reports of the damage indi-
cate an awful loss of lie and property.
All along the thirty miles of the cyclones
path is sJrewn the carcasses of horses, cat
Tie and all descriptions of live stock, while
crops are ruined. The loss will reach into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

EAsroN, April 21.-The Lehigh Presby-
terry jiourned yesterday afternoon to meet
on June 2 at White Haven. There were
several spirited debates during the day.
Rev. H.. NJ. Voorhees,, of Delaware Water
Gap, in a report upon the state of religion
said the great drawback to good work in
the bonds Of the Presbytery was progress
sive euchre. Efforts were made to have
him Withdraw this, but he declined to
do so.
Rev. DR.. Eckert, of Easton, declared Mr..
VOORHEES, was right. Rev. j. f. Pollock,
Of Allentown, raised a breeze by rejecting
in a report upon congregations which made
a great ado, in urging other congregations
TO raise large sums for aiding disabled
ministers, but which did not raise much
money themselves. This comment was
finally stricken out.

by participation. The story general
ly contains the statement that many
of the "best citizens" took part in the
horrible affair.
Generally no notice is taken of
these lynchings except by a few
northern newspapers, which are inn
mediately sneered at for waving the
bloody shirt. But at the present rate
of increase in the number of such
crimes, the time is about at hand
when all decent people and all repu-
table journals must raise their voices
for their suppression. If public senti
me at has become so debased that it
can look complacently on and see
from one to dozen lynchings occur
daily, with varying degrees of torture
and brutality, the press cannot too
soon raise it's voice in an attempt to
arouse that sentiment to a sense of
the consequences of such condition.
The last lynchiug reported was a
triple affair at New Orleans, the de-
tails of which were recently printed
in the papers. The three men were
guilty of no crime, except that they
were charged with concealing their
brother, who had committed a muir
der, and refused to disclose his where
abouts. All three of the men died
courageously, and without giving the
information desired. 1t is quite likely
they did not have it to give. Another
part of the programme was that the
murderer's mother and sister should
be logged, though the report does
not show that this was carried out.
But the affair was sufficiently horri-
BILE with the flogging of women omit
ted, and shows only too plainly con-
dition which should receive the utter
condemnation of ali right minded peo
pie.

SOUTHERN LYNCHINGS.

Lynchings in the South are increas-
ing in numbers instead of decreasing.
One or more is reported from some
locality in that section daily, and in
many of these brutal affairs recently
several have been murdered at once.
So common has the practice become
that the trial of negro for any crime
is almost unthought of. He is accused
of anything from a simple misdemean-
or up to the highest offense known to
law, and with no legal proceeding
whatever, with no inquiry to ascer-
tain the facts, with no chance to prove
his innocence and no opportunity
even to make a statement in his own
behalf, he is dragged to the nearest
tree and hanged. The execution is
usually accompanied by the most bru-
tai and disgusting acts on the part of
the lynchers.
Sometimes the victim is guilty of
the crimes charged, and many times
innocent. The accusa alton is sufficient
to condemn him to death, and after
wards his murderers put forward such
justification as they see fit. Usually
the fact that the victim was a negro
and ought to be hung anyway is con-
sidered sufficient excuse. Some
times the legal penalty for the crime
committed is death, and many times
it is not. When brutality and lust for
blood are allowed to supersede the
law the magnitude of the crime is al
lowed to have no bearing on the pen
atty. Petty larceny and other like
offences are capital crimes under the
reign of lynch law. The people be-
come accustomed 60 the lynching pro-
cess, and federation thereof is soon
followed by concentrations, and then

The following, from London Com
merce of August 80, shows why "satis-
faction is possible" in England.
"Though the end of the Mckinley
Tariff may be far off, its doom is seal
ed. To that extent satisfaction is
possible from anticipation of the end
ing Of perhaps the most talked of
piece of legislation affecting CONNER
cial interests that ever came into
force. President Cleveland has
fought the battle of Tariff reform per-
sistently and unfiinchingly, and he
has never yet been guilty of turning
his back on his professions Of faith.
He has been assailed for his Free
Trade tendencies in the choice meth
DDS known only to American parti-
sans. The assaults have failed of eff
feet. The, mud Grown in the hope
that some would stick has refused to
adhere" Note that the English rec
ognize his "Free-Trade tendencies"
though his partisan papers won't ad-
NIT them.
