Nearly, if not quite all the old force, will be at work soon and by August possibly more than were formerly employed. The Union Pacific is opening its Cheyenne shops and the Burlington is increasing its shop force at Holdredge. The Elkhorn is also reaping the benefits of better times, and its force on the sections and in the shops is being increased slowly, but surely. The St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and the Missouri Pacific have also put additional men to work in the various departments along their lines.

He says: At Memphis, after the ad- journment of the meeting there, number of democrats from diff ferent states had meeting that meeting requested Senators Harris, Turpie and myself to take steps to organize the silver democrats so they should be fairly represented in the next national convention. We concluded that the best way to do this was to first organize a national cen. tral committee of silver democrats, consisting of one or more members for each state, and let these members look after the organization of their own states To select gentlemen for membership of this committee by correspondence seemed slow, and hence it was concluded to invite one or more gentlemen of character and experience from each state to meet in Washington and se- lect, if they thought we'll of it. this central committee. This is all there is of it. as I understand"

 HAcKENsAcK, N. J., July 15.-Be- tween 40, ,000 and 5O,0Oo persons visited the scenes of the ruin and devastation at Cherry Hill yesterday caused by the cyclone on Saturday. Hackensack and the other towns have responded promptly to the call for aid made by the people of Cherry Hill. Committees have been organized in several of the towns. The most important is the one here. Prompt measures were taken and between the amount subscribed and that gathered in boxesat the ruins of the villages there is now enough money to keep the unfortunates in food for few days.
 Vie wed in the light of day, with the sxciteme mt that existed Saturday night gone the devastation appeared more complete. Everywhere in the path of the storm were ruins The tangled heap of ruins by the railroad track tell where the depot went to pieces That pile of W eckage showed where a house had been thrown down and that one where barn had been razed by the winds. The leaflsss trees that withstood the strain of the whirl- wind gave the appearance of midwin- ter. On two sides, as viewed from the center of the town, there were banks of green, but where the storm swept everything was black and bare.
 Three were killed in the storm. The two Polish laborers reported killed by the fall of the barn in which they had sought shelter are alive in the hospital here. Both are badly injured. The dead are Conrad Friederman, the Ahrens baby and Anton Fischer. Mrs. Ahrens was also injured, but will re- cover Edgar Chinook, the doctors
