 oMAHA' Neb, April 3O.-The first i eyclone that ever visited Omaha oc- cured just south of Druid Hill add;- on' Ill 1he northwestern part of the 1i'y' at o'clock yesterday mornino accompanied the atmospheric dis turoance that preceded the heavy rain ~ 'ne early morning, and although .es erect was confined to a small terri 'ory' nothing was left standing in it's paul. A house and two barns were entlreiy demolished, and the roof was i,A'eu rom another cottage and car rieo several blocks. That no fatali ties accompanied the catastrophe is consi iered miracle.
 A frame dwelling was occupied bv D. w. Barnett with his wife and tbr.a children Mir. Barnett was awakened oy the wind. He got up and went to the front of the house to close the win- uows' While returning through the sitting room, the whole structure was picked from its foundation without an lnstant's warning. The house fronted on Thirty fifth street and the wind turned 1t completely over toward the south. Mrs. Barnett and the children were sleeping in the north portion of the house, but as the structure turned over they were thrown, clear across the rooms against the south wall They had scarcely time to realize what had occurred when the walls collapsed and the roof came tumbling on their heads. In some manner they were protected from the falling timbers and succeed. ed inextricating In themselves. Mir. Bar nett was severely bruised about the legs, and Mrs. Barnett was cut on the arms, but the children did not receive scratch
 While they were trying to pull themselves out of the debris the wind continued its work. The timbers were shattered into. kindling wood and scattered all over several vacant lots. One side of the house was droppeA about fifty feet away and the floor was blown loose and carried further down the hill.
 Members of the family were taken in by neighbors until morning. Other cottages were unroofed; one man was knocked senseless by flying timber and barn was completely demolished. Immediately afterwards there came a very heavy rain, falling in torrents.

LOOKS MIGHTY QUEER.

The Navy Department Rejects Castinga and Begins Criminal Suits Agains the
 Markers and Now Accepts the Reflected Work.
 WASHINGTON, April 30.-The navy department has accepted the four steel castings for the battleships made by the Atha & Illingworth Co.,, of New ark, N. J., which were rejected with somewhat sensational results last fall closely followed by the arrest of and institution of criminal proceedings against some of the officials of the company on the charge of attempting to defraud the government.
 As far as known, the department of justice has taken no step to quash the charges, but the navy department hav- ing accepted the material on which the proceedings were based, it is prob able the case will be abandoned.
 The chief of naval ordnance, in ex- plaining the matter this morning, said the department being in urgent need of the castings, and their defects hav- ing been shown to be superficial, had accepted them.
 4HcSc CdStlISS dTc tne piSJOu-ueduS used to elevate the big guns in the turrets of the battleships now so near completion.
 The big castings from the Atha & Illingworth Co.,, when examined care fully developed the fact that plugs had been put into blow holes and the entire surface skilfully rusted over to prevent detection. Ordnance officers declared this to be palpable intent to defraud, and Secret tary Herbert de- termined to make an example of the presumably guilty parties and promptly sent forward the afiidavits of the inspectors to Attorney-General Olney, who proceeded against the off, cers of the company at once. The de- partment returned the castings to the company rejecting them, and the com pany begged flor permission to make new pieces.

Sulphur is smellful gas. Nitrogen
