Storms.
NEWTON, KANs., Aug. 20.-The most
destructive hailstorm in the history of this
county took place about o'clock last
night and did great damage to crops and
buildings. The storm came from the
northwest and the wind was very high.
Trees were snapped off and buildings de-
molished. Corn was injured greatly. The
stalks were twelve feet high and very
thrifty. They were Invested Of leaves and
many broken down. All kinds of stand
ing crops were damaged and garden truck
ruined. Ripening fruit was knocked from
the trees and the crop almost totally de-
stroyed.
The damage in the city was great.
Thousands of windows were demolished,
including every slxyhght in the city. The
carriage factory, a three-story stone struc-
ture, was ruined. Many buildings were
wrecked. The damage will reach into
thousands of dollars, but cannot be esti-
mated accurately now.

FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 20. - The

for free silver and interpreting the platform

SQUIRE ON SILVER ISSUES.
The Senator Says There Is Hope for q
CNrreucy Reform.

NEW YORK, N. T., Aug. Ex-senator
Watson G. Squire Of Washington was at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel yesterday. Sen
ator Squire looked healthy and ruddy.
He has been down at Sulphur Springs,
Va, resting and is now on his way to
Washington to look after his political
fences.
Senator Squire said in speaking of the
attitude of the silver men over the coun-
try: "The hope OF the silver element in
this country for the establishment and
maintenance of a parity between the two
metals by an international agreement
appears to be nearer contamination to-day
than at any time in the past. The
elections in England which recently
took place have shown that there is
some hope for the establishment of a
ratio by international agreement. You
do not hear so much talk about the free
coinage of silver now as you did some time
ago. That is not because the sentiment
has died out. 1t is as strong now as ever,
and will be manifest at election time. The
reason is that reviving business has stilled
the talk People now have other things to
think about, but the same feeling still re-
MAINS"
In speaking of Presidential possibilities
Senator Squire said concerning Cleve-
lands third-term chance: IT hear scarcely
any talk whatever in the South about a
third term. I don't think that Cleveland
has any chance of getting denomination.
AS for the Republicans, I see that ex-Sen.
ator Henderson says that Governor Nc
Kinley is strong in Nebraska. Governor
Mckinley is, l think, favorite all over
the West, but I don't know that he has
anything of solid following. Senator Al
lison is strong, and all the men named as
probable nominees have their followers. 1t
is too early to predict"
Ex-Congressman Walter Gresham oil
Texas, who is at the Gilsey House, said in
the course of conversation upon the sill
yer question yesterday: despite the fact
that about every representative of Texas
in Congress believes in free silver don't
think that the preponderance of sentiment
among the people is in favor OF the white
metal. Mr.. Chiffon, the new Senator, is a
silverite, and so are many more prominent
politicians, but don't take it that they
represent the people,"
Gresham does not think President Cleve-
land wants third term, or could get it ii
he aid want it. He said that it must be q
peculiar condition that would cause him to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland for a third term,
although he admired him greatly.
Speaking of the Presidential timber he
said: II think some Western man ought
to be nominated by the Democrats. Colonel
Morrison is strong candidate, and I
would cheerfully vote FOR him. Still, New
York is pivotal State, and in Mr.. Whit
ney you have strong candidate. think
he would make a good President

HIS BRIDE WAS UNDER AGE
Johannes and Catherine Were Ar

New York, Sept. 24.-Among the passen-
gers on board the steamship OLDHAM which
arrived in port this morning, were johannes
Donker, twenty weight years old, and Cath
ernia Won Seten, nineteen years old, who
sought to make a. home for themselves in
America. -.
They had known each other for years in
Holland and decided to face life's fortunes
together, but the drastic laws Of their native
land coon interrupted their arrangements.
AS the vessel reached her dock Donker
was arrested by deputy United States
marshals charged, on complaint OF the con
sui general for Holland, John r. Plantan,
with having abuctcd Catherine. Donker
was arraigned before United States Com
missioner Alexander on extradition pro-

The consul explained that according to

Catherine at Amsterdam to get permission
of her parents to take her to his parents
home at Kilvercum, fe W miles distant.
Instead OF going there they went to
Rotterdam and sailed from there on Sep

held in trust which She had taken to help
start them in life in this country.

THE NORTH POLE MYSTERY.

The report that Lieut.. Peary has been
disappointed in his last polar expedition
is not surprising. The fact that he ever
returned to the polar regions. to expose
himself to the dangers and deprivatiOns
of that desolate country after his first ex-
perience, is the astonishing part of his
conduct. Each time an explorer tries to
reveal the mysteries of the north pole his
efforts are accompanied by suffering and
fatigue such as no other field of explora-
ton can produce, and with every such
report the civilized world wonders at his
temerity.
For scientific purposes the final dis
covery OF the north pole may be necessary,
but the world has wagged along for good
many years without knowing this alleged
important secret, and it seems that by an
extraordinary effort we might manage TO
get along without this knowledge for
little while longer, especially as it requires
the sacrifice of so many lives and the
enduring of so much suffering.
Even were the pole discovered. what else
would be added to the geography of the
world than that which we already know?
Frequent attempts to penetrate that I'M
known locality have demonstrated that it's
a barren waste of ice and snow entirely I'M
inhabited and absolutely uninhabitable. 1t
might be possible TO stin further demon
strate this fact, but beyond that nothing
secould be accomplished. There are others
besides Lieut.. Peary who are disappointed
and who are so because of the fact that men
will so foolishly risk their lives for an empty
honor

THE WONDER OF THE AGE.

Just why tle.grand4 jury OF Alexandria
county found an Indictment against John
Nelson and Frank Foster for keeping gam
bling house on life Virginia shore opposite
this city is not known. 1t is possible that
complaint was made by an outside party
or that the indicted men did not ''divvy."
Or they may have fallen out with the gang
and their prosecutions an attempt to obtain
revenge. The real cause must be a mystery
to all but those who can read between the
lines; but il is safe to prophesy that the find
ing of the Indictment viii end the prosecu-
ton unless it be an effort to punish for spite.
There may be few cases where gambling
has been prosecuted to finally in Alexan-
dria county since the lawless element assumed
control of its affairs, but they are few and
far between. 1t is not-the purpose of the
gamblers to iniure their own business, nor
will they allow Interference on the partoflaw

law-brcakers are elected to important

FOR CHEAPER FREIGHT RATES.

The Deep Waterway Association now
I'm convention at Cleveland is n organiZa ton
that should attract more than ordinary
attention. At present there is little pros
peet oflcgisIation in the direction of cheaper
methods OF transportation, nor has the
question been sufficiently developed by
practical men to fully establish in the public
mind such a necessity, but the time is here
when other traffic carriers than railroads
must be employed to reach seaports with
Farmland products and from n educational
standpoint the Deep Waterway Association
will do much tosolve that problem.
Report says that the New York Central
Railroad has secured control of the Erie
canal and that there will be no further
competition in freight rates between the
railroad ana that great waterway. 1t is
also known that all the principal trunk lines
of the country are combined so far as rates
are concerned, which, of course. means

AFTER THE BEEF TRUST

At last an effort is TO be made 10 enforce
the antitrust law. Through Information
furnished 10y Secretary Morton, Attorney
General Harmon has instructed the Dis
trict Attorney at Chicago to proceed aga inst
the beef trust. of course, Armour &
Company and others of the alleged com
bine, disclaim any knowledge of a trust,
but as Secretary Morton has supplied the
Attorney Generals office with important
documentary evidence to the contrary,
it is to be hoped that the prosecution
will be both vigorous and relentless.
There are other trusts still more bur
densome and arbitrary than the beef
trust. But unfortunately they do not
happen to come in conflict with so con-
scientious a public officer as Secretary
Morton, or they would not remain SO long
unpublished. The tobacco trust is now
being tried in the courts of New York

THE TIMES BRouG HI IF TO TIME

Il
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
finally discovered that the public has rights
which cannot always be trampled upon,
and in consequence is guarding its death
trap crossings with more vigilance since
The Times exposed the falsehood OF its
General Agent Alvey.
The company has also found that The
Times is not afraid of its bulldozing tactics,
and that in future it must deal more honestly
with Washington people to prevent having
its questionable methods shown up in their
proper light.
But the most humiIiating knowledge
that has come to this corporation is the
information that its boycott of The Times
was n miserable failure. Its order pro-
hibiting the sale of this paper in its
trains and stations has awakened an in

great benefit in increasing the circulation
