It Was Painred Rcd and othe, wise Dis
 figar-d by Miscreants.
 BRIDGEPORT, CONN July 10.- Early visitors at Seaside Park discov- cred yesterday the statue P. r. Barnum had been dis6gured in the night by being covered with red paint. The granite steps of the pedestal were covered with inscrip tions derogatory to the character of the deceased snowman. A gentle man who made the discovery re- ported it to the park superintendent, who immediately set force of men to work to remove the offensive inscriptions. The material used by the miscreants yielded slowly to tue efforts of the workmea, and it was some time be- fore tine statue bore its natural ap- peararce. The park policemen say no one left or entered the park after midnight, when the statue was not defaced. It is supposed the vandals landed from a boat, theory which is strengthened by the finding of fresh paint spilled on rock on the shore.

 NEW HAVEN, July 10.--Gen.

THIRTY YEARS SEARCH.
4 Murderer Dscoyerrd After That Length
 of Time.
NOW A FoReER.
He Win be Carried to The scsne of His
 Early Crime.

Ef4MIRA, N. Y, July 10.-After a search of thirty years Chief Little believes he has located the murderer of two guards in the Union prison camp located here during the war. In 1863 a young man who enlisted in New York was stationed in camp. He gave his name as Stewart. For drunkenness he was confined in the guard house. One night he invited the guards to drink liquor which he obtained. The liquor con tained poison and both guards soon fell into stupor from which they never recovered Young Stew art then endeavored to escape, but was detected. He was eiven trial by court martial, found guilty of murder and sentenced to die by hanging. He was transferred to the county jail and held there to await the date of execution. In the mean time great effort was brought to bear to secure the young mans par don. His mother went to see Pres ident Lincoln. She gave the name of Shea-. The young man on the night before the day for the hanging, escaped from Jail and has never been captured. In July, 1891, Leroy Chamung Shear passed forged check in this city, but got away before the forgery was discov- cred. He finally turned up in the Albany penitentiary, where he is serving term of two years for grand larcen. having been sentenced from Albany under the name of Mallory. Chief Little began investigation of the criminal record. He is now convinced Shear, the forger, and young Stewart, the soldier mur- derer in 1863, are one and the same person. This belief is strengthened by Shears horror of coming to EI- myra. If he should be released from Albany prison August he will 19 then will be brought here on the charge of forgery when his past record will be diligently searched.

 NEW YORK, July 10.-In a pri- vate letter written from London by Wm. Judge, general secretary of the American section Therosopical Society, he announces Professor Ganendra Nath Chakravarhi, of Allahabad, India, will attend the forthcoming therosopihcal conven- vention at the Worlds Fair con gress of religions. Professor Chalk ravarhi is a high caste Brahmin, and Is said to rank high as San skrit scholar and metaphysican. He leaves Bombay July 2l and will come to New York with Mrs. Annie Besant, meeting her in London. Professor Chakravarhi will be one of . very few high caste Brahmins that come to this country. A high Brahmin cannot cross the sea without sacri- ficing his rank. Several years ago Mohini Mohin Chatterii, high caste Brahmin and fellow Therosoph- ical Society, sacrificed his rank in a similar way to accompany Mir. Judge on lecture tour in the United States. During his stay in this city he delivered an address before the Century Club. Another prom nent therosophist, who will be at the congress, is NJ. Deharmapala, who is to represent the Southern Buddhist Church.

 BRUSSELS, July 8.-Some ex. citement was caused here by the re- port that the young Polish lady re- siding at Brussels committed sui eide and had been buried directly after an unfortunate love affair with an exiled French prince.
 The facts of the case are as fol lows:
 Mile. Wanda de Kaszyc, ,27 years, belonging to a noble Polish fam fly, resided with her rela- tives, M. and Mme. Metchkovsky, the former ex chancellor to Czar Alexander II, who occupied the the ground floor apartment No. 345, avenue Louise.
 Prince Victor Napoleon, who lives close by, frequently passed the house and Mile. Wanda fell deeply in love with him, and wrote him several letters. As the prince did not answer, Mile. de Kaszyc on We'd nesday stole revolver from M. Mstchkovsky and shot herself through the heart. According to one version the deceased left some letters of very compromising na- ture for the prince, but M Metch- kovsky and the prince both deny this indignantly. An inquiry has been instituted by the police.

 WORLDS FAIR, July 10.-Fire broke out this afternoon in the cold storage warehouse just south of Sixty-foursh street gate. At l 40 flames were pouring out of tho openings of tbe tall cupola, and indi- cations were that serious damage would result.
 At :50 p m. about thirty fremen were caught in the burning ware house, the fire breaking out beneath them, the chances seemed to be that all of them would be burned to death. Three jumped from the top of the tower, which is fully 125 feet, from the ground. The cold storage building, though seldom entered by visitors, Is one of the most notable land marks, architecturally, in Jack son Park. IL is within short dis tance of the elevated road terminal, and instantly attracted the attention of people entering the fair grounds from the west by reason of its peculiar high tower and unique vtnulating windows.

 NEW YORK, July 10.-Informa- ton has been received in United States naval circles that within a few days the French government has just authorized the construction of a new and powerful cruiseS which in general respects is to be almost duplicate of the new United States war ship, New York. From what can be learned the action of tho French minister marine is largely based on the recent success of tho cruiser New York. The information has been received in United States naval circles with marked satisfaction. It is tho first acknowl- edgment by a first class foreign power of the superiority of United States naval construction. It will be noted, naval officers say, that the building of new navy by the United States began in earnest late in 1885 ' In less than ten years the naval con- struciors of the United States navF succeeded in developing type H war ship which is deemed worthyof copying by France, and France pos sesses her own school of navy architecture.

SCENE OF DESOLATI0N.
The Town of Pomeroy is no More, Only
 Wrschage and Ruin There.
HOMELESS FAMILIES.
Governor Boies is on the Ground Doing all in His Power to Relieve the
 Suffering.

PoMERoY, IA, July S.--Forty- four TOW number the dead at Pomeroy. It was one of the saddest scenes ever witnessed, and even the strongest were compelled to turn away from some sights at the city hall hospital, where the most of 10S injured now are. Every dwelling now standing can be we'll termed a hospital, as all have been thrown wide open and from two to eight wounded are being kept in each. Little Charles Pasen, bright 4 year old boy died at midnight last night, enduring his terrible wounds to tho last hero;cally. Gov ernor Boies is on the ground and do- ing all in his power for the comfort of the wounded. Physicians and nurses are needed to-day. Ten phy- sicians are all that are here today, and the calls cannot be promptly answered. Neigh bring cities and towns are providing nurses literally, but more are needed. Of the injured from twelve to twenty more will die. Reports are being hourly received from the rural districts. It seems that the storm started about one mile west of Cherokee, and followed closely to the Illinois Central Rail road, cutting a swath from one fourth to one half of a mile wide, and completely demolished every thing in its path for a distance of sixty miles. Near Fonda Mrs. E. $. Gordon and two children were killed. Near Newell John Drewell was killed and his wife fa- tally injured. Up in Wight coun- ty, eight miles west of Brllmond, John Leuben and daughter were killed. The total deaths from the storm thus far heard from reaches sixty three. The work of burying the dead at Pomeroy has com. menced. Seventeen were laid away late yesterday afternoon, and to-day twenty more will be buried. A number of bodies have bsen shipped away. The scenes are heart rend- ing as relatives from distance come to gaze into the faces of their dead. Two hundred and eight residences were swept off the face of the earth and not a board left. Hardly a residence remains untouched, anu the business portion of Pomeroy is so badly wrecked 1t can be said with truth Pomeroy is no more. The dead carcasses of horses, cattle and hogs are being cleared up from the rubbish to-day and buried Company G, For Dodge, assisted by companies from Storm Lake and Perry, are on guard night and day. It seems as many fatalities resulted from going into cellars as those who stayed above the ground.
 Seven churches in the city were all demolished, and no services can be held tomorrow. ALI is sadness and gloom.
 The total amount of damage done by the cyclone in the state is con servatively estimated at $500, 900.
