6T. Louis. April 12.-"Have weyet heard

ports begin to come in of death and de-
struction,' each one seemingly moro
fearful than tho predecessor. Wires all

been learned to show that no section of the
State escaped the storms fury. Salem,
Stsnberry. Steelville. Rolla. Page City and
other places report not only destructisn of
property. but loss of life. At Coudray, q
small mining village. great havoc was
wrought. The latest report from there
shows SIX killed outright, three have since

Will Judge specr be Disgraced.

WIFI Judge Spccf ne DlSSfaCcd.
Citizens of Atlanta are now wonder
ing whether Judge Speer will be driven
from the bench. The publication We'd
ucsday of an affidavit from DR.. Willis
Westmoreland has started the talk. 1t
is charged in this affidavit that Judge
Spcer instigated the suit against the
Georgia Central Railroad, which he Is
now trying that he suggested changes
in the bill for receivers, and that under
his suggestion young lawyer hunted
far and wide for client to bring the
case. The affidavit says that Rountree,
the young attorney, got the TIP from
Judge Speer sin the Office of the Hon.
Emery Speer, who was then in Savan-
nah for the purpose of holding the cir
cult court said Speer suggested to
said Rountree that good opportunity
presented itself for some brilliant young
lawyer TO make both fame and money
by filing bill to put the Central Rail
road and Banking Company in the
hands ola receiver; that under the rul.
ings made by him in other railroad
cases upon proper bill filed, that a
Judge should appoint receiver that
he, the said Rountree, was inclined to
avail himself of the suggestion cf the
court, and desired to consult deponent
as to the advisability of doing so.
The Central road, upon application
made 10 Judge Speer at midnight by
Rountree, was thrown into receiver
ship. Rountree Indignantly denies
that he ever made such statements to
Westmoreland, but the latter has a
stcnographic report of a private confer
cnce, which makes the case rather
doubtful for his adversaries.
A dispatch from Savannah says:
Nothing definite came out of the
charges of collusion between Judge
Speer of the United States Court and
Attorney Daniel Rountree, who filed
the bill under which Judge Speer put
the Central Railroad into a receivers
hands until Wednesday morning, when
Rountree presented az affidavit saying
that the ground for the charge, which
was utterly false, was probably state
ment he made to DR.. .Westmoreland OF
Atlanta concerning statement Judge
Speer made to him about the substance
OF a railroad decision, in which Speer
held that the purchase and holding OF
shares in one corporation for the pur-
pose of defeating competition was un.
constitutional and void. Afterward
Rountree came to the conclusion that
this decision covered the position of the
Central, but Judge Speer never made
any insinuations to that effect nor any
suggestions to him to begin the suit.
The charges are the talk OF the entire
State, aud the matter will probably be
brought before Justice Jackson in some
shape to-day. Speer characterizes the
charges as hes.
