MANY OTHERS INJURED.
Narrow Escape of a Santa Fe Train-The
Path of the Storm Lined With Carcasses
of Animals and Ruins of Buildings

Hutchinson, Kansas, May la cyclone
struck about mile south of Patterson,
some twenty miles from here this afternoon
and for sixteen miles IN north westerly
direction left death and ruin on path one
hundred yards to quarter of mile in
width. Ten persons were killed and twenty
injured, of whom three will die, and there
were numerous narrow escapes from death.
Many residences were demolished. and
damaged, and barns, ontbuildings and or
chards were destroyed. The pathway of
the 81 orm is lined with carcasses of dead
horses, cattle, hogs and other animals.
The loss will be great. as the district visited
was settled by well-io-do farmers. A west
bound passenger train on the Santa Fe
road was held at Halstead until the storm
passed. Where the storm crossed the track
the telegraph lines, poles and all were
swept away. The train would certainly
have been wrecked had it gone ahead.

STILL TALKING.
No New Developements in the School

Especial to the PRESS.)
Naples, May 1.-THE good people of this
town are talking today, as they talked
yesterday and will talk tomorrow of the
peculiar situation of school affairs.
While there is of course considerable feel
ing over the matter, it has not SO far
been allowed to interrupt the neigh bor-
ly relations of those on opposite sides of
the controversy. The village people also
see the humorous side of the situation,
and one family is amused by the perplex-
ity of the son end heir, youngster Of
12, who wanted to know which of the
two teachers he.was to obey. You must
mind them both," said his mother.
"Well, what am l to do If one tells me
to read one piece and one another?"
asked the boy, and he got no answer to
the laat question.
The controversy is making business for
the legal fraternity, AS long ago as last
fall, during the original trouble over the
admission of pupils from other parts OF
the town to the village school, the COM
mittee made several trips to Bridgton
to consult Judge Walker as to their
rights. During the present predicament
it is understood that the three new
mem bers of the committee have applied
to Judge J.W. .Symonds and Charles A.
True of Portland, for sadvice. The other
side also retained counsel.
A good deal is said here about break
ing and entering Mr. Clark. SO his op-
ponenes say, was guilty i'll the eye OF the
law when he entered the buildings to
put on those new locks. 1t is not claimed, /,
however, that Mr.. Clark did any actual
damage to the buildings in this breaks
ing and entering"

The coroner in summing up tie evidence
said il was clear that the damage sustained
by the Crathie in the collision prevented
her from proceeding on her voyage. AS to
the collision itself, it was for the jury 10
decide whether it was due to gross ana
culpable negligence and. If so. to aseeftaln
who was to blame. Tho jury returned YER
dict that, in their opinion the collision was
due to gross negligence on the part of the

Extending Her Trans-Caspian Railway
Washington. May $50 far as can be
learned neither Secretary Gresham nor
Minister Guzman has yet received a forina
reply to Nicaraguas request tnat the
British fleet should be withdrawn from
Corinto as a preliminary to the agreement
to pay the indemnity demanded in Londo on
within fifteen days. The British foreign
Office usually acts with deliberation in mat
ters of this kind. Nevertheless, the
absence of any intimation that Great
Britain has granted the request is regarded
as ominous. and the friends of Nicaragua
are somewhat discouraged.
Rumors have reached here asserting that
Great Britain has assented, and again that
she has refused, but the fact appears to be
that no authentic information as to the
Br itish conclusion has yet been given.
Those who have talked with President
Cleveland represent him as being strongly
opposed to any interference on the part of
the United States, his contention being
that Great Britain is merely seeking repara-
tion for injuries to it's subjects, and that
when it has succeeded in this her
forces will be at once withdrawn from the
country.

houses and Claremont it is confined to four
houses. No danger is apprehended from

difficult 10 tell about Claremont. where the
disease prevailed five weeks before they dis

Rockland. May 1.-Cobb. Butler & Co.,
owners of the schooner Charlie and Willie
today received telegram from g. @. Gay
in New York, stating that the body of Capt
Joseph MetGalf, late master of the vessel
had been found. No particulars were given.
1t will be remembered the Captain Metcalt's
disappearance was surrounded in COM
plete mystery. His vessel was lying in the
stream at Perth Amboy, and at the time the
captain was found to be missing there was
no possible way that he could have reached
shore without swimming. There were many
theories, the generally accepted one being
that he had fallen overheard and was
drowned. The vessel owners have tele-
graz he'd to have the remains brought to the
home of the deceased in this city.
Perth Amboy. N. j.. May 1.-The body of
a man fifty years old was found at the foot
of Woodbridge avenue this evening. The
body had evidently been in the water a
long time. Shipping papers were found in
the dead mans pocket, and it was con-
cluded that the body was that of Joseph
Metcalf of the schooner Charlie and Willie.
On the night of April three, Captain Met
calf disappeared from his vessel. The crew
said he went away in the evening and never
returned. 1t is believed that he fell over
board.
