GOT HIS COMMITTEE. ~
Ahlwardt Will Have DIR. MIGUEL
Investigated.

BERLIN, April 25.-At the sitting of
the reichstag today Herr Ahlwardt, the
Jew-baiter, made motion for the ap-
into the charges which he had made of
gross maladministratio and enormous
embeZZlement against DR.. Miguel, min
lister of finance, and other prominent
persons. Ahlwardt admitted that
he possessed no documents to
prove his accusations relating to
the invalid soldiers fund, but he said
that, nevertheless, he was prepared to
show that the late we'll known Hebrew
financier. Baron Won Bleichroder, had,
with the assistance of DR.. Miguel,
wronged the German people out of sew
eral hundred millions of marks. He said
that he was also prepared to show that
DR.. MIGUEL, when manager of the
Diskonto GeZelteschaft, had engaged in
transactions on his own account. Ahl-
wardt concluded by quoting a number
of unlucky enterprises with which DIR.
Miguel had been associated.
DR.. MIGUEL arose to answer the
charges made by Ahlwardt. He said
that if Ahlwardt had been private per-
son he would not have noticed the
charges, but as Ahlwardt was the rep
resentative of German electorate, he
felt bound to notice them in so far as
simply to deny the whole of the accusa-
tions which Ahlwardt had made. Frei-
herr Won Maltzhan, Conservative dep
uty, remarked that the committee asked
for ought to be appointed, although he
was convinced that the committee
would report the accusations to be base
less. After noisy debate. the house
agreed to the appointment of commit
tee as requested by AhlWardt.

AN AWFUL MINUTE.
Ten Persons at Least Killed by q
Cyclone Near Moore,
Oklahoma.
It Lasted Only Sixty Seconds, but
Left Fearful Wreck in
Its Wake.

MOORE, Okla, April 25.-The coun-
try west and southwest of here was
swept by terrible cyclone at 1880
o'clock this evening. Endless dam
age was done, but how much will not
be known until telegraphic commune
cation has been restored. The news at
hand makes it certain that ten people
are killed, as many more injured, and
untold property destroyed. Among the
dead are ]. o. Connors and his whole
family, consisting of five members. Mr..
Banks, II. G. Clements and a child of
Henry Bateman. Tom Weaver had
his arm broken and was other
wise injured, and is in a
serious condition. Three of Mr..
Banks family were seriously and per
haps fatally injured. Their house was
blown to atoms. and the family only
extricated after desperate efforts
had been put forth. Phillip Dyer's
house was moved twenty feet.
His invalid wife and babe who we're in
the second story at the time the storm
came up. were carried away with the
building, but miraculously escaped seri-
Gus injury. Frank Browns house was
blown away just as he and the
family escaped. Most of the people
escaped to their cyclone caves, having
had warning of the impending danger.
Further casualties cannot be as
certained tonight, but it seems
certain that there were more.
Though the cyclone lasted but a minute
or so, the wreck left in its wake was
awful. A path half mile in width and
eight miles long was laid waste.
Houses, barns and everything In
its reach went down. Telegraph
wires and poles were blown down for
miles around, and for this reason the
particulars of the storm are not now
fully known. The same storm passed
over Guthrie, Okla, but did no damage

Cars.
Three People Riding on the
Engine Crushed to
Death.
Several of a Large Number

SOMERSET, Pa, April 25.-The report
of a fatal railroad wreck, which occurred
on the Bare Rocks railroad, four miles
south of Somerset. has just reached
here. AT II o'clock the passenger train
on the Somerset & Cambria railroad
arrived here and was quickly
side-tracked. The engine, on which
were four physicians and surgeons,
started for the scene of the accident.
i The Bare Rocks railroad connects with
the Somerset & WellingborO railroad at
Wois station, at which place the wreck
occurred, only meager details of which
can now be learned. The road is two
miles in length, and runs to a large
stone quarry operated by the owners of
the road. The grade is about $50 feet to
the mile. In coming down this
evening the train became unman-
ageable and dashed down the grade
with frightful velocity. At the foot of
the incline were several loaded freight
cars, into which the passenger train
plunged. On the engine were Engineer
Neff. his son and John E. Pyle, with his
wife and daughter. The Latter were
hurled under the engine as it leaped
from the track and were instantly
killed. Neff and his son were fatally
scalded. On the cars were a large num-
ber of workingmen. some of whom
jumped from the runaway train ana
escaped with slight Injuries. The bal
ance were crushed in the wreck, how
many is not yet known. Seven bodies
have already been recovered. The
widest rumors as to the number Of
persons killed and injured are afioat,
and intense excitement prevails. as
many of the persons are known to have
been on the train who are residents Of
Somerset or have relatives living here.

he had first seen the stars and stripes as
he approached New York. and, after
moments thought. the Englishman con-
cluded that he had merely used figure

York harbor at once suggested itself,
and Mr. Mcdowell started the movement
which has today been consummated.

MIR. HULETT's SIGNATURE.
Mrs. Pomeroy Presents 1t on a
Marriage Contract.

Marriage Contract.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH. April 25.-The rather sem
satlonaI case of Mrs. Lucy A. POmerOy
against the heirs and legatees Of the
Nehemiah Hulett estate began before
Probate Judge Aver this morning, and
is likely to last several days. The fair
plaintiff is about thirty-five years old.
AuIett died about nine months ago at
about twice that age. Mrs. Pomeroy,
whose husband died three or four years
ago, asks the court to lay aside, for her
use during life, the Hulett homestead,
on the ground that she became his wife
on Jan. 9. 1892, by common law mar
riage. The defendants deny this, and
have her own testimony to the
effect that she had told friends
that they were to get married,
but that Hulett died week
too soon. The estate is worth 100000.
Mrs. POmeroy, or Hulett, perhaps,
caused quite sensation this morning
by producing a small yellow paper,
dated Jan. 2, 1892, upon which was
written in substance the following:
I'VE, the undersigned, believing mar
riage by contract to be valid, do hereby
declare ourselves man and wife, and
agree to live together as SUCH" This is
signed by Mr.. Hulett and Mrs. Pom
eroy. Later he brought home re-
volver, so she testifies, and this was
wrapped in a paper on which was writ
ten a love letter to his wife, Little
Lulie." Alfred Merritt, president. of
the Duluth. Mesaba 81 Northern road,
G. C. Merritt and A. K. Merritt, his
brothers, all testified to the genuine
ness of Nehemiah Hulett's signature.
