Hail, Rain, Thunder and Lightning.
Wilmington was visited by rain and
hail accompanied by thunder and light
ming last evening. The storm came
shortly before o'clock. Wilmington
people were about going TO church
and when the storm came mp a rush
was made for some kind of shelter
All the door ways on Market
street were crowded with storm
bound people. The causeway was
crowded with teams and when the storm
broke there was one steady line of
vehicles rushing up Market street until
after the storm was over. Many of the
carriages had no curtains and in many
instances the gallant young man took off
his coat TO shield the fair ones best

THE nominations of the Democratic
party are practically settled. The con
tests were few and good natured. There
is scarcely any use for awaiting the per
functory declarations Of the e'canvassers,
as the results Of the nominating elections
have been practically agreed upon and
accepted The fact that there was so
little rancor and so few animostes
should show that the party is prac-
tically united upon the candidates.
They represent the wishes Of the people.
Having acquiesced in all Of the prelimin-
ary acts IL is not seemly for any Demo.
crat to object to the final result. We
can conceive no reason why any one
should object to the result, especially
when he made no effort Whatever to
pr ocure different result. In respect TO
DR.. Springer's withdrawal, which great
many people said they deplored, they
were so listless and feeble
that they made no effort to keep DR..
Springer on the track If they had so
little interest in his candidacy, they
would probably have had less interest in
the real contest If he mad been nomi-
mated. Like liberty, party politics de-
mands eternal vigilance However that
may be, we have agreed upon candidates
in the formal and regular way, and 1t IL
our business and our duty TO elect them
every one Of them. The brass band
that was not used in the nomination saved
It's noise and energy for the campaign.

THE man Of junction City, Iowa. who
wants to know 'if the government pays
a bounty on twins, and If 1t does, he is
the happy father Of three pairs, is de-
lightfully hypothetical. His form Of in.
quiry suggests several interesting re.
iections and suspicious. But, as a
matter Of fact, no statesman has ever
suggested that twin culture should be
encouraged, stimulated, rewarded, or
protected. The country is open TO a
flood Of twins from the pauper twin in.
dustries Of protected and unprotected
countries alike. If the Iowaian patriot
contemplates setting up twin industry.
as his inquiry indicates, he should con.
suit Prosperity Mckinley, who evidently
had not considered this happy and use
full branch Of industry. or he would have
put IL under the same fostering care OF
the Republican party that envelopes aud
surrounds the hen egg industry.

SAGINAW SCORCHED.
A Million and Half of Property and One
Life Sacrificed


SAGINAW, Mich, May 20.-A little
spark and strong southwest gale this
afternoon resulted in very destructive
fire. In that brief period the fairest
portion of Saginaw was left mass of
smouldering ashes and debris. One
man was burned to death and others are
missing.
The fire is said to have started from
the chimney of Briggs q Cooper, on
what is known as the middle ground,
and waited by the gale it swept down
and found refuge in the dismantled mill
plant of Sample & Camp, on the docks
of which there was a number of piles Of
lumber.
Here it found rich food, and in the
twinkling of an eve the single spark had
grown into a roaring mass of flames and
started on its mad career with fury
that no human hand could check
The Bristol Street bridge next caught
and a portion of it was destroyed.
Thence the flames leaped to the East
Side Just below Bristol Street and north
of the city, where were located large
number of buildings, including hose
house No. 6, J. f. Winkler's ice-hOuses,
eleven residences on Tlden Street, and
on both sides of Washington Avenue
down to Holden Street were quickly
licked up Then the sparks were car

out. Here the fire struck Jefferson
Avenue and in an hour some Of the fin

The flames made a clean sweep north
to Emerson Street toward the city linn

phans' Home succumbed early, but the
inmates were all removed to places of
safety. The patients were all removed
from st. Mary's Hospital, which was in
extreme danger for a time, but was
saved. The fury of the gale carried the
sparks long distances and at O'Clock
the fire had reached the magnificent
planning mill, factory and lumber yard
of +. German, which was destroyed as
we'll as large number of dwellings in
that section of the city.
Estimates of the aggregate loss vary
widely, but the best judges place the
figures at about 5000, 900.
The fire was got under control at s
o'clock, having burned east as far as
Weadock Avenue. So tar as learned
only one life was lost, that ofJohn Clark,
employed in McClelland's file factory,
who burned in front of his own house.
There will be many cases of distress,
but the great majority of the losses are
distributed among people comparatively
well-tO-dO. The heaviest loss is that of
f. German, which foOts up to S350,000
and throws $50 men out of employment.
Many families are left homeless.

Phenomenal Proportions.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 20.-A terrific
hail and rain storm accompanied by
high winds and vivid lightning passed
over portion of Western Pennsylvania
and Eastern Ohio this afternoon, doing
great damage The storm broke over
Pittsburg a lew minutes after o'clock
and ragged for an hour, striking terror to
the hearts of timid people, and ruin

seen in this section and varied in size
from a hickory nut to a goose egg.
Windows were broken all over the city
and every greenhouse suffered losses
running from $500 to $4,000. Valuable

flooded and many streets rendered i'm
passable by debris washed from the
hills. On all the street railways traffic
was suspended from one to three hours.
The storm came from the north and
passed westward carrying destruction
along its pathway. Dispatches from
many surrounding towns tell of the
ruin wrought. At Marietta, O., num-
Der Of buildings were destroyed and
crops were laid to the ground. Great
destruction is reported in the Belmont,
Eureka and Sisterville oil fields. AS far
