Fifth and Sixteenth regiments and Sher-

Brighten. John A. Wiley reached here

1000 men, and by 10 o'clock had sur
rounded Walston without a shot being
fired except the accidental discharge of
a cavalryman's carbine. When the troops
reached Lewis q Co.'S lands, skirmish
lines were formed and a careful search
made for ambushed strikers and cannon,
but although evidences were seen where
the cannon had disappeared. The for
eigners were greatly excited at the APP
pearance of the bluecoats with glistening
bayonets. Early today the streets Of
Walston We're filled with men, women

eigners were stationed on the barren hills
overlooking the town. At the approach

with a battery of two gatling guns and

GRAND JURY DELAYS.
Indictment of Sugar Inquiry Wit
nesses Deferred Until Next
Week

Washington, D. c., June 22-The con-
illusions reached by the grand jury in the
cases of the recreant witnesses before the
Senate Sugar trust investigation commit
tee will not be officially announced before
next week, if then, the jury evidently
having some reluctance to act. A short
session was held today. The only witness
was Senator Gray, chairman of the in
vestigating committee, who testified to
the action of Broker Chapman of New
York when he was called before the com
mittee. The senator dWelt upon the re-
fusal to reply to the queries. He pointed
out the illegality of the action of the wit
nesses and cited the law bearing on the
case. lie also discussed the alleged inju-
rious effect of sustaining the contumacious
conduct of Messrs. Edwards, Shriver and
Chapman. His testimony was very brief,
as the session of the jury continued less
than an hour. At noon the jury adj
journed until Monday. Senator Gray had
a consultation with the district attorney
today with reference to the Indictment of
Broker Chapman. The district attorney
is proceeding with much caution with the
work, and he has found that the resolu-
ton under which the committee is pro-
ceeding is very unsatisfactory for the pur-
poses of prosecution of the witnesses as
1t is neither very clear nor very specific.
The Chapman case is considered the
strongest of those presented to the grand
jury, and the district attorney OH this ac-
count has decided to put it ahead and yir
tually make it test case. The Edwards
and Shriver cases, therefore, will be al
lowed to remain Enacted upon until it can
be shown what can be done in the Chap
man case. This case will also take prec-
edence over the Havemeyer, Searles and

FIERCE GALE IN NEBRASKA.
City of Lincoln Visited by Wind Do
ing Great Damage.

Lincoln, Neb., June 21.-This city was
visited by one of the worst storms in it's
history yesterday afternoon and last
night. The wind blew as it has seldom
blown before and the rain fell in torrents.
Threatening clouds were seen about 5
o'clock and people began to get home as
fast as possible, but the streets were well
occupied with humanity when the storm
broke a few moments before 6 o'clock.
For the first ten or fifteen minutes there
was no rain, but the air was full of
everything else portable. Papers, bas-
kets, wooden sidewalks and branches of
trees and dust filled the air, and the only
wonder is that there were not many more
people injured. The velocity Of the wind
was eightyfour miles per hour. The
greatest damage was probably to shade
trees along the streets, and the loss in
this respect is almost incalculable. Trees
were broken off close to the ground in
many instances and almost denuded of
branches in others. In many places the
sidewalks were torn up and progress of
the street cars impeded by fallen trees.
BillboGrds and exposed signs were unable
to withstand the furious wind and many
outhouses and roofs scattered about as
sisted in making the city look as though

VERDICT FOR STURGES.
Decision Against the Farwelis in
the Texas Capital Liti-
cation.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 21.-Judge Tuley this
afternoon read his opinion in the Sturges-
Farwell litigation. 1t is a finding for
Mrs Sturges of $4,000 in the suit
against J. v and G.. 3. Farwell and Alb
ner Taylor on the Kensington contracts,
to be paid in ninety days with per cent.
interest; finding for William Sturges
of Sill. 800, to be credited on q note for
$4,000 made in July, 1889, and due
the syndicate. Judgment is also entered
in favor Of J. V. Farwell for the synSi-
cate against William Sturges for $2S,5O9,
payable in ninety days. In the Marquette
contract, where $4,000 was deposited,
the court gives J. V. Farwell $4,000 and
the balance of $4,000 to Mrs. Sturges.
The $75, 900 ordered paid to Mrs. Sturges
is the capitol contract, which was the
main matter of litigation. The court
holds that while Mr.. Sturges was not
regularly employed, yet his services were
adopted by the company and must be paid
for. The court 0verrules the contention
that Mr.. Sturges' services were of no
value and holds that he did good work
for the company. The litigation, which is
ended by this final arbitration, has ex-
tended over a long series of years and
involves a claim for over 100000 for
services rendered by William Sturges in
promoting the Texas capitol scheme.
