FINDLAY, o., July 20.-This city has
been swept by terrific storm of rain,
wind and hail. Hundreds of shade
and fruit trees were blown down, block
aiding the streets in many places. The
tower of the First Methodist church
was blown down as was the bell tower
of the central fire station. Part Of the
steeple of the First Lutheran church

and shifted ON their foundations, and
dozen buggies were blown over
Nearly every awning in town was
blown away and a number of plate
glass store fronts wrecked. The globe
and chimney glass factory was also un
rooted.
A Cleveland special says: Cleveland

The Case OF ExsConsui Waller to y
Pushed Against France.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Mr. John M.
Langston, counsel in behalf of ex-Con-
sui Waller, says that in the future he
will be assisted in the prosecution of
Mr.. Waller's interests by Mr.. Cram
mond Kennedy of Washington and Mr..
McGuinn of Baltimore, Mr.. Kennedy
taking the place of leading counsel
The case will be pressed with the ut
most vigor. Mr.. Langston said that
the question of Mr.. Walters arrest and
Of his stepson's Bray deportation from
Madagascar are by no means the only
points involved, but that back of these
and responsible for them is the question
of the title to the concession made to
Waller by the Hova government, and
that this matter will be taken up forth
with.
Mr.. Langston himself expresses the
utmost confidence in the regularity Of
Walters concession. The land ques-
ton, Mr.. Langston said, will be pressed
independently of the matter of Waller's s
release from prison, though the latter
feature of the case would not be neg
lected. Mr. Langstou also disclosed
that the United States government had
taken hold of the entire matter with
sincerity and vigor. Mr.. Waller has
been heard from recently, and his
health has improved.

the close oompanianship of the two, and he
ordered his sister to return to Ireland.
But O'Grady had talk with his brother
priest and told him that he was going back
and assured him that nothing but the
purest of sincere friendship had prompted
his association with his sister. O'Grady
then left for his native home.
Meantime the story had been circulated
in Ireland that he had eloped with Miss
Gilmartin. He had left his church with
out consent or without telling any one
where he was going so when he returned
he found his charge in the hands Of an
other. His attempts to be reiDstated were
vigorous, but unsuccessful Finding him
self scorned by his people and disgraced by
the action Of the bishop, he again set sail
for America.
He had been in constant communication
with Miss Gilmartin all during his alb.
sence and he knew exactly where to find
her when he returned. She had gone to
Cincinnati and had secured employment
with local firm. O'Grady made his ap-
pearanoe there In the early part of 1894.
He lowered around Miss Gilmartins s
boarding place at all hours Of the day and
night. They went out frequently together,
and 1t was discovered that they registered
as man and wife at a local hotel, where
they>frequently spent the night. O'Grady
had not been there long, however, before
Miss Gilmartin, so it seems, tired of his
close attention.
Miss Gilmartin was at the time board
ing with distant relative. Her cousin,
Mrs. Anna Tibbles, became suspicious and
drew the lines more closely around her
privileges. The former priest smarted un-
der the frequent restraints placed upon
him by the young woman and her cousin,
and 1t was not long before he began to
make threats. These were passed as idle
talk by his sweetheart but O'Grady soon
became so obnoxious that he was at last
forbidden to come to the Tibbles home at
all or In any other way attempt TO see or
communicate with Miss Gilmartin.
He suffered this ostraoism for week
Finally one morning he waylaid the
woman as she was about to take car for
her work. oGrady stopped her as she was
hailing car, and what he said will likely
never be known. The conversation was
short. The infuriated man drew revolv-
or from his pocket and emptied its con-
tents into the body of the woman. She
fell to the sidewalk, and then O'Grady
tried to kill himself.

WASHINGTON, July 20.--At the treas.
ury department it is said that the plan
Of Mr.. Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor to boycott national bank notes,
If carried out, would prove more harm.
full than beneficial to the labor interests
Of the country, as it would contract the
currency to the extent Of $211, 900, 600
without injuring the national banks
at would not hurt the national banks
at all, said Mr.. o. p Tucker, deputy
controller Of the currency.
"If people should refuse to receive
their notes, the banks would simply
present them to the United States
treasury for redemption and receive
legal tender notes, which they would
continue to use in their business. The
only effect would be to withdraw that
much money from circulation, as repre-.
sented by the amount of notes re.
deemed. IL is true that under the law
the acceptance of national bank notes
cannot be enforced. and no man can be
compelled to take them as legal tender.
The fact that they are accepted in
everyday transactions is because the
government is behind them and stands
ready at any moment to redeem them
with legal tender"

In the House Where They Lived-Pietzei
Children Identified.

CHICAGO, July 20.--The police have
found in stove in the house formerly
oc cupied by H. H. Holmes, the alleged
murderer. of the Pietzel children, a
quantity of charred human bones and
part of a watch chain and dress buttons
formerly owned by Minnie Williams.
The chain was identified by the jeweleI
who made it,
Holmes lived with Minnie Williams
as his wife, She was stenographer.
Her sister came to visit them from
Texas, where both girls had property,
which Holmes later got hold Of. Both
girls disappeared. Holmes claimed
Minnie murdered her sister in a quar-
rel over him; then she went to Europe,
taking with her the two Pietzel chill
dren.
The body found in this city is un
doubtedly that of Minnie Williams
whom Holmes likely murdered. 1t is
also probable that he himself murdered
her sister.
If this surmise is correct, it makes
him the murderer of at least six people
as follows: Pietzel, whom he killed fol
insurance in Philadelphia; the two lit
tie Pietzel girls, whose bodies have beer
found in Toronto; the two Williams
sisters, whose property he secured il
Texas; also little Howard Pietzel, whose
remains will likely soon be found
probably in the house in this city.
A Toronto special says: Mrs. Pietze
has identified the bodies of the tive
children found Monday night last il
the cellar on St. Vincent street as thos'
of her girls, Alice and Nellie.

Dominiok O'Grady, the unfrocked priest

than two years ago and shot her to death
on the street on April 25 1894, is now dy-

hospital In that city. His case Is hopeless,
and his attending physicians are looking
for the end at almost any time.
The public has been clamoring ever
since the tragedy to have the murderer
brought to trial. Three terms Of court
have passed since the killing, and still
O'Grady has never been brought before
the bar to stand trial. His attorneys ore
known to be the most skilled and artful
in the west, and they have had the case
put off from time to time until at last 1t
seems that a natural death will claim him.
From what source comes the money for
the employment Of his high priced attor-
neys is not known to the public, says
correspondent of the New York Herald.
Dominick O'Grady was born Of q re-
spectacle family in Sligo county, Ireland,
85 years ago. He was educated at the Knox
National school and soon after he had
graduated studied for the ministry. Ten
years ago he was given parish In Sligo
county.
He rapidly advanced and soon became
the bishops warm friend. The O'Grady
and Gilmartin families were near neigh
bors in Ireland, and when Miss Gilmartin
was a mere child she found favor in the
eyes of the young student. He was very
devoted and attached to the girl and as
she advanced in years his attention became
more pronounced. He was then q priest,

was in Springfield, Mass, and she first
stopped there. Letters found in O'Grady' S
possession show that she wrote him ten
