Omaha. Neb., June ia special tt

Omaha. Neb, June ia special to
the Bee from Chadron, Neb., says:
AT 2:30 this afternoon, with an al
most cloudless sky. a terrific wind storm
broke upon the city, resulting in much
damage to property and at least one
fatality.
While it could not properly be called
a cyclone or tornado, it was the most
severe wind ever thleard of in this sec
ton.
1t was impossible TO see across the
street on account of flying dirt and
gravel, while signs, boxes, chicken
c6'ops and gates as well as the roofs of
many buildings, were flying around as
if made of paper.
john F. Tenzer, a lumberman on
Egan street, nam out of his Office as
the sheds behind in his yard started to
go to pieces. He nan across the street
and as he was passing a blacksmith
shop one of the heavy doors of the
front was suddenly torn off its hinges
ard struck Ihim on the head. crushing
his skull 50 that his brains oozed out.
Although he lived for fifteen min
rtes. it was clear from the first that
he would not survive. His face was
mashed to a jelly-a most sickening
sight. MIR. Tenzer was a highly re-
spected business man, ina wing resided
here for uhe past five years. He was
a single man. His relatives in Ohio
have been notified.
Mrs. Albert Mead had a. miraculous
escape. She was cut driving, and the
entire rig was blown on top of a pick
CT fence, splintering the buggy and
knocking the horse senseless. Beyond
severe bruise, she escaped unhurt.
Robert Hoods lumber yard, Colonel
Gaylord's dwelling, w. Smiths livery
barn, J. P. Cooks warehouse, J. F.
Tenzer's lumber yard and Tug Wilson's
dwelling, suffered the grea est damage,
although at least twenty other build
ings We're partially unroofed or other
wise damaged.
One barn was turned around, not in
juring a horse, which was inside, in
the least. All the windows in the west
side of the court house were broken,
while almost every chimney, outbuild-
ing and fences were blown away.
Several people were slightly injured by
flying objects. The storm seemed to
be local one, headed northwest, and
starting about five miles from
the city, where several farm houses
were wrecked.
No other town appears to have been
in its path. 1t was followed by a

purpose of inquiring into certain damage
TO the bottom of the United Staes steamer
Columbia by grounding, the extent of such
damage and the time and place of the
grounding OF said vessel by. which the
damage referred to was caused.
1.-THE proceedings, findings and opinion
of the court have today been approved.
The department regrets that it is COM
PEELED to fully concur in the opinion of the
court-that it was the duty of the COM
nanding officer to have been on the bridge
when the vessel was passing bulk shoals,
and it was also his duty to have caused
the speed Of the vessel TO be reduced at
that time. The speed over the bar where
the, injury IS found to have occurred ought
TO have been slower and especially when
the fact is considered that with the water
she carried in her double bottom at the
time there was a very small margin of
safety.
I'm view, however. of the recommends
ion of the court that no further proceed
irgs be had. the matter will be regarded
as closed with your Acknowledgement of
the receipt Of this communication. Re

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Unsettled Details Have Been Practi-
caIIy Cleared Up.


caIIy Cleared Up.
Washington, June 19-Unsettled de-
tails of the Nicaragua canal bill, which
will be reported TO the House, We're
practically cleared up at the meeting
of the subcommittee today. There
will be recommended a, directorate of
eleven. members, eight government
directors, one representative OF the
company, one from the government of
Nicaragua. and one from Costa Rica.
Three government engineers will have
charge of the work
1t will be provided that dividends
shall not exceed 3 per cent, so that a
sinking fund may be established. The
government share of dividends will be
credited to a sinking fund. Some mem
bers of the committee think the debt
can be raised IN twenty-five years on
the lines laid down. Bends We're prac-
ticaly decided upon today for the whole
amount, as the proposition to coin sill
yer involved troublesome complica-
tions and opposition.
However, that section of the bill is
left subject to change, so that, if any
plan involving the use Of silver seems
practicable it can be adopted.
