STORM SWEPT
And Half Million Damage Done In The
OIL Fields.

FINDLAY, ONO, July 10. One
Iofthe most destructive windstorms
TINT ever visited Northwestern
Ohio, passed through Findlay this
Iafternoon. The sun had been shin
ling brightly all day, and but for d
gentle breeze that blew from the
south the heat would have been
almost uabearable.
AT three o'clock, however, dark
clouds began TO gather to the
southwest, and about All hour la-
ter q heavy rain began to fall.
which ina few minutes turned to
hail, and was accompanied by
cyclone, which soon swept over the
city, coming from the southwest.
Several houses in the outskirts of
the city were blown from their
foundations, and dozen more
were unroofed. a wagon belong
ing to the American Express Com
pany was overturned Oh Main
street, and the driver narrowly
escaped with his life. Awnings
and signs were blown about pro.
miscuously, and anumberof plate
glass windows were DESTROYED by
coming in contact with flying
signs. Trees were blown down,
and ona number of streets traffic
has been suspended until tile de-
bris can DO removed. The bell tow
or ut the Central Engine House
was blown down, precipitating the
bell onto the roof az the barn, in
which four of the horses were
standing, and completely wreck
ing the building, bnt the horses
escaped without injury. The path
OF the cyclone was confined to
space of several hundred feet, and
its path west of the city limits ii
marked by overturned oil der
ricks, unroofed barns and uproot-
ed orchards. The loss iii the oil
field will reach several hundred
thousand dollars, and it il esti-
mated that the damage 60 proper
erty in the city will reach $780,
600. The damage To fruit trees
and the growing corn is hard to
estimate, but will reach we'll up
into the thousands. No one was
seriously injured, but alarge NUM-
Der of people received slight inju-
ries by being hit by falling trees.
The cyclone lasted aboutii min
utes, and after the wind quit blow
ing the clouds oil disappeared. and
the rain passed away as quickly as
it came.

Mrs. Nancy Slavens, who had lived
in this county all her life and
reared a large family, has been
murdered at her home on Big
South Fork, near the old Beatty
oil we'll. Mrs. Slavens owned
considerable property, the control
of which is thought to have been
the incentive for the crime. She
is also said to have been q PEN
sioner and to have laid by q con-
siderable sum of money, which
has probably gone into thepockets
Of the murderer and his accom-
plices, - -,
Several grandchildren Of Mrs.
slavens lived with her and worked
on the farm. They claim that
the aged woman shot herself with.

DANyILLE, KY, July 49,
Thompson j. Bailey, the WELL
known revenue man, now OH duty
.at Curley's Distillery, III Jessa-
mine county, tells the story of the
remarkable victory won BY a rat
ia b battle with rattlesnake. The
snake was five feet six inches long,
and was caught iii the cliffs of the
Kentucky River and sold to
country storekeeper, who impris-
5oned the reptile in a box covered
with glass and exhibited it as
curiosity to his customers. The
.groceryman caught a rat and
large frog and put them in the
box for the snake To dine upon.
The following morning the frog
was missing, but his ratship was
still upon the scene Of action, and
apparently indifferent to the
snakes presence. The rat remain-

the groceryman confidently ex-
pected the snake TO make meal
off the rodent that night. In
this, however, he was nlistaken-
The next morning when he exam

dead, and the rat punched upon its

hide showed that the rat had sat

Mr.. Lykins was county attorney
at the time the above claims were
allowed, and it was his official duty
to act without pay. Besides it is
not Democratic to charge such
prices for a few hours service.
5. j. Saiyer, county attorney for
Morgan county, served his people
in u like capacity in inspecting the
bridges over the North Fork and

Besides receiving the above large

OFFICIALS ARE OBSOLETE
Those in Alexandria County Might as
Well Be in California.
Their Fees Are Small, They Make All
They Can and the Law-Breakers
Don't Worry About Them.

The regular gambling houses in Rossiyn
and on the river shore above the town have
been tightly closed since last Sunday,
awaiting the result of the investigation
set on foot by the board of trade of this
city and Gov O'Ferrall. But the policy
writers, with Squire Burch at their back,
feel that as long as he is provided with
his weekly stipend they can peg along in
defiance OF either governor or civic organ
ization. SO the several policy joints be-
low the bridge keep open house
Over in Rosslyn they don't think very
much of the officials who are supposed
to see that crime and la wIessness are rooted
out. The lawhreakers pay them to see
that they are not molested, and the re-
spectacle element is aware of this condition
of affairs SO bet ween the two the Off
cials are held in slight respect.
One of the residents, who keeps one OF
the very few saloons in the place OF which
gambling room is not an adjunct, said
to a Times reporter yesterday that the
officials in that district were of no more
service to the community than a resi-
dent of California would be.
Another citizen OF the place was inter
viewed yesterday by a reporter, and said:
Z" Squire Burch owns about fifteen acres
OF ground and house. Some time ago
syndicate made arrangements TO buy the
property for a thousand dollars an acre, and
the Squire sold off his grindstone and a
few other household implements he hap
pened 10 possess, and prepared to leave.
But the deal fell through and he is still
here.
He hasn't raised bushel of potatoes for
ten years, or since the policy writers have
located here, His legitimate official in
come amounts to about SO month and if
he doesn't get a draw down he must be
mighty economical.

a weekly envelope containing $25 from the
policy writers, but since the times got dull

JURIEs DON'T DISCRIMINATE.

Col. TOtten Says They Never DiSre.
gard Statement Once Presented
The futility OF instructing jury to dis
regard statements once clearly presented to
them was forcibiy brought out by Col
EnOch Totten in an argument before Judge
Cole yesterday; a remedy for the violation
OF rules in this regard was also proposed.
The case was that OF Mrs Brooks, who
recently got verdict for So, ,0GO against
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company, and Col TOtten was asking for
a new trial He complained that opposing
counsel had brought before the jury in
speech alleged facts which We're never in
trodueed in evidence.
why didn't you object them asked the
other side.
Because such a course is utterly use
less was the reply. 1T does no good to
make a fuss before the jury and ask the
court to exclude the statements from their
consideration. We all know that Ny
plan is Just to let the attorney, who breaks
the rules in this way, go on and at the proper
time l make his improper action the basis OF
a plea for a new trial and it ought to be
a sufficient reason. A few applications
OF this treatment frequently cures a hardened
offender of this kind
The case was concluded and submitted, as
was the question of new trial in the
case Of Mrs Lowery, who got a verdict
against the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company for So, 600. Col. Totten
and Mr.. w. ID. Davidge appeared for the
company in both cases, while Mr. Maurice.

DECREASED MORTALITY.
Unusual Number of Fatal Attacks on
the Brain Last Week.

The death rate in this city during last
week was the lowest which has occurred
for nine years. The number of deaths re-
ported at the Health Department was 70,
as against 8 in the previous week. The
rate upon the whole population was al,
and for the whites it fell to the remarkably
low figure of 8 SO per thousand inhabitants
There was an almost total absence OF
deaths from any OF the contagious diseases,
and no death from typhoid fever was re-
ported. The most prominent feature of
the weeks hygienic history was the num-
ber of fatal attacks on the brain, reaching
the unusual number Of ten for the week.
Infant mortality stands at the normal and
as yet tie annual visitation of summer
diarrhoeas has not made an appearance,
probably retarded by the late cold spring.
One effect of the recent enforcement of
the so-caIled "Edmunds law in this Dis
trict against people cohahiting together
as man and wife without legal marriage is
to be seen in the enormous return of 262
marriages to the Health Officer during the
week. The usual number would be about 80.
