L0RING'S GHASTLY DEED.
WHILE DEsPoNDENr HB OUT HIS
 THROAT WITH 4 RxsoR.

Had Eaten Hut Throo Meals . Week Since
 July i-Committed the Rash Act ct 6a
 Lax" Plnoe-found In . Closet With Ra-
 zor Tightly Ciutched fin Hand.
 William F. Loring. a stranger in tho city. about twenty-five years old. cons mltted suicide at the residence of Shad- rack McClalr. 62 Lake Place. sometime during Saturday night or early Sunday morning Just when the rash deed waa committed is not known. but the dead body was found about 8:so o'clock yes. terday morning by Mir. McClair, when he called Loring to breakfast. No cause has been found for the committing of the rash act, but 1t Is thought that he was temporarily insane In consequences of lack of food.
 On Friday last Mir. McClair. through Mrs. II. D. Hume of q Howe street, ems ployed Loring to assist him in doine some cleaning. etc. at hds home on Lake Place. Loring worked Friday afternoon and Saturday. and was very indus- trious, but apparently very weak. To Mir. McClair he said he had only eaten three meals week since July 1. Lortng was given a room in the third story Of McClair's house. and remained thera Friday and Saturday nights.
 About S:30 o'clock yepterday morning he. was called for breakfast but did not respond to the summons. After waiting short time MT. McCtair went up to the room to investigate as to the cause of Loring's non appearance. He opened the bedroom door, but although the bed had apparently been slept in there waa no trace of Loring. McClair next enter- ed the room and went to the closet. As he opened the door ghastly sight mel his gaze. Inside the closet half sitting, half reclining on an old chest was the dead body of Loring, literally covered with blood. In his right hand the sui. eide held tightly olutched a. razof. with which the rash act had been com. mitted.
 Loring had done his work we'll and had succeeded In completely severine the wind pipe and jugular vein. When found the body was cold and stiff, As soon as he had made his ghastly dis- covery McClair notified the police at the DixWell avenue precinct, and Patroi- men John Egan and St. Clair were sent to the house. Medical Examiner White was notified, and after Investigating the circumstances rendered a verdiot that death was due to suicide.
 Medical Examiner White stated after his investigation that he believed the mans story that he had only eaten three meals week since July 1, as the emaciated appearance of the body bore out the supposition' that Loring was half starved to death. The suicide was about twenty-five years old, of medium build and weighed about 100 pounds- In his pockets were found some chanss and letter of recommendation from H. B. Wilson of the St. George hotel, Sac- remento, Cal The remains were taken In charge of Cox & Henze, where thew will be held several days in the hope hearing from his relatives.

DEATH BY 4 cYcEoyE.
Many Persons Lost Their Lives Friday In
 Minnss Q.

Mtnnse Q.
 Minneapolis. Sept. 2s.-Reports of the
 destruction wrought by Fridays cy- clone indicate that the loss of life will
 be in the neighborhood of seventy-nve, while the injured will number several
 times as many. Several of the latter
 will die. The property loss is very heavy. and 1t Is almost impossible at
 this time to obtain anything more than
 rough estimates of the damage. AS in-
 dicated in last nights dispatches the
 storm originated near Emmettsburg.
 Iowa. and passed east and north 10 northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. finally passing over into Wisconsin. No
 reports of serious damage have been re-
 ceived from this section and the fury oi the clements seems to have been spent with the destruction of Spring Valley. lire four persons are dead and some are severely hurt, while the property
 loss Is estimated at $s5. 900. the residence portion of the town lying directly in the path of the cyclone. At Leroy, lying
 southwest, four are dead and several fatally injured. The destruction of property amounts to about s75OOO The
 villages chief business houses lie in ruins.
 Five miles north of Osage. Iowa, SIX persons were killed and q large number
 hurt. The destruction of farm prop erty there was great. but no estimates of the loss have been made. East, at Lowther, a town of about 100 souls, three persons were fatally hurt and the whole country for miles around was laid in ruins. The loss In this vicinity will probably be not far from $10O0O0. Fifteen mile north of Mason City, Ia.. four persons were killed outright and as many more probably hurt, while all
 the buildings struck are total wrecks, the loss being in the neighborhood of $50, 1000. West of Mason City, near Britt, two persons were killed outright, while
 north of this town some half dozen
 lost their lives.
 Three miles north of Wesley Kos
 suth county, J. Bingham's house was
 overturned and caught fire. The in
 mates had narrow escape. The killed
 in this vicinity are M. Castle and wife,
 J. w. Dingham, Mrs. Tweed, mother
 of Thomas Tweed, two children of
 Thomas Tweed, M. Schweppe and two
 children, Fren French and two chill dren, infants of MT. and Mrs. Eden, and Mir. and Mrs. Rockaw.
 North of Emmettsburg two lives were crushed out From here the storm went tearing across the country demolishing everything in its path. For the most part of its course 1t travelled through a farming district, Leroy and Spring Val ley, Minn being tLeSsniy two towns of any consequence that were damaged, but even here the deaths were com paratively few.
 The property loss is largely confined to farm buildings. Conservative esti-
 mates place the total damage at not
 less than $1,000,0O0.

 Escape of Lady and Child

Fortunately No Ono Was Ipjured-Narrow
 Escape of Lady and Child.
 Lighthouse Point was yesterday af- ternoon the scene of a spirited run- away. About 5:90 o'clock double team belonging to Stiilman Rice, a milkman who resides at 58 Lombard street, which had been left unhitched near the hotel, suddenly became frightened and dashed up the road and reached the Forbes house without any accident of special moment. At the Forbes house the car riage struck post and broke 1t off near the ground. The force of this collision overturned the carriage, but 1t righted itself and the team dashed through the avenue to the Pequot club house, where 1t was captured. The horses were unin- jured, but the top of the carriage was completely wrecked.
 Fortunately there was no one in the carriage at the time of the runaway, but a lady and child had very narrow escape from being injured when the team dashed against the post, where they were standing when the team dashed up, but succeeded in getting out of the way as the team dashed against the post.

 Thanks 10 the harmony between ofii. cial and national feeling the Polish question Is no longer source of dan ger. The press has lately been much occupied about the kaiser's expression In regard to the possibility of the no- bility opposing the emperor. think it can be simply explained as I under stand the word opposition in the sense of the opposition of York's party under Frederick IT., which resulted almost in revolution. also under Frederick ". in 1SiS there was q similar opposi- ton, which ultimately gained the king over to their side.
 We ought not to seek to damage or hurt our opponents in the press but We ought to try to convince them by argu- ment When I refer to opponents only have In view men who are loyal to their king. With dsloyal men do not deal. The emperor's appeal against revolutionary parties did my heart good but think the kaiser included the Polish nobility, who are also a revolu- tlonary party. However, now I am confident that We shall be able to fight with firm hand. being shown that it Is sufficient that We all unite with the emperor and the federal councillors to protect the fatherland. If the need shall arise God grant that the kaiser may be surrounded by advisers who will counsel and guide him in the sense of his own imperial speech. Long live the kaiser!"

 After the princes speech Councillor
 von Gerlach handed Princess Bismarck
 an illustrated address, and the ladies
 presented her with bouquets. The pro- cession then passed in review before Prime Bismarck, the bands playing and
