IT WAS A CYCLONE.
Wind Instead of Lightning Destroyed That Church-A Laborer Killed and Sey-
 eral Others Injured.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 1.-The United Presbyterian church, in course of con struction at the corner of Grand River and AleAandrine avenues, was struck by a cyclone which was accompanied by practically demolished.
 Frank Zernoyy, a laborer was buried under the falling brick and instantly killed.
 Chris Johnson, the foreman, and Jesse North, bricklayer. who were also bur jed under the mass of debris, were badly injured.
 Fritz Detkofski, a laborer, was severely bruised by flying bricks. Fifteen or twenty other men at work on the build ing had remarkable escape from injury.
 The church was rapidly approaching completion, the brick walls having been raised as high as they were going, about 40 feet. A dozen or more carpenters were making and putting in place the framing while a fek bricklayers were completing the odds and ends of the work, being supplied with mortar and bricks by four men.
 The storm came just as the men were about to quit for dinner. There were a couple of flashes of lightning and then a gust of wind from the west, which struck the front of the building. The path of the cyclone was about 30 feet in width, and it tore it's way through the church, carrying down the front and rear walls and leaving the side walls standing. The roof girders were also carried down. The cyclone expended it's force on the church, and beyond carrying down a few chimneys no other damage was done in the vicinity.
 Some of the worlSmen who saw the storm approaching escaped from the building before the wind struck 1t.

BARRACKS BUNKS.
A Plan Whereby Veterans May Be Lodged Eco
 nomiCalIy at Chattanooga,
War Department, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Pa rlk Chm mission

War Department,
 Chickamauga and Chattanooga
 National Military Park Commission,
 Washington, D C., Aug. [, 1895.
 It appears from numerous letters re ceiyed by this commission that it's pre- vious circular in regard to furnishing quarters in camp barracks has been con- strued to mean that such barracks will be erected without regard to the orders received, and that those desiring these quarters can obtain them upon their arrival at Chattanooga. This, however, is not the case.
 As congress made no appropriation for free quarters, plan was devised by which barracks accommodations could be provided by the citizens committee of Chattanooga at a very low rate for all who might order such a sufficient time in advance. It is the intention to extend barracks as orders for accommodation are received. Such &C., commodations cannot be provided under applications received after August 30, 1S95
 Those who send $2 to Capt Charles r. Muller, Chattanooga, Tenn, will receive in return a ticket which will entitle the holder to a comfortable barrack bunk for the entire time of his stay at Chatta- nooga. including safe storage for hand baggage and toilet accommodations. It will not be possible to furnish ladies with quarters in these barracks, or to supply meals or lunches in connection with them. It will be necessary for each person to bring his own blanket and towels. The barracks will be constructed upon the plan adopted at the last Grand Army encampment at Washington City, where a very large number of veterans were thus housed. Such structures will be erected in Chattanooga, where, within convenient distances, meals and lunches may be obtained at reasonable prices.
 Communications in regard to barracks addressed to Captain Muller, who was selected by the citizens committee to take charge of this work, will receive prompt and reliable attention
 The indications of very large attend ance at the dedication are such as to lead this commission to urge that all contemplating attendance make arrange ments in advance for quarters. cit izens' executive committee, of which Capt. H. s. Chamberlain is chairman is now canvassing the city of Chattanoo- ga to find quarters in private families for those who desire such accommoda- ton. Full information may be obtained by addressing that committee, and as- surances have been given that rates will be reasonable. J. S. FULLERTON,
 Chairman of Commission.

 Baltimore, Aug. 17.-Robert H. Gordon of Cumberland, Md, recently appointed by Governor Brown as associate justice to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Henry w. Hoffman, today for warded to Governor Brown a letter de- clining the appointment His declina tion makes it necessary for the governor to find some other good lawyer in. the Fourth Judicial circuit willing to take the seat. The new appointee will only hold the office until the election in No vember, when his successor will be chosen for the full term of fifteen years. The indications point to a republican victory in the circuit this year and an effort is being made to induce Governor Brown to appoint David w.

Lentil Farming In Egypt.

1t is in Egypt that the lentil crop is
of the most value, for in the land OF
the Pharaohs the lentil forms one
sixth of the food of the people, beside
being extensively exported to other
countries. 1t is well suited to the soil
and climate, as it requires little ire
cation save what the Nile provides.
The Egyptian lentils are reputed the
best and most nutritious in the world,
says Chambers's Journal.
From Cairo to Assouan, the farmers
of the Nile valley regularly rotate the
crop with wheat of maize, gathering it
in about the end of April. Every
peasant grows enough for his own
consumption, making it into porridge,
which he finds both wholesome and
sustaining and the cheapest food he
can obtain. In Cairo, Alexandria,
Ismailia. Suez, Port Said and the
other towns the consumption in soup
is very large. Most of the export goes
to London, there to be converted into
invalid or ''patent" food, under some
fanciful name at a fanciful price.
