LAST NIGHTS STORM,
II Did Considerable Damage During
It's Brief Continuance.

Uprooted trees, broken-off limbs, shat
tered shutters and smashed window panes,
torn awnings and havoc generally were
he evidences that testified last night to
the severity of the squall which broke over
the city shortly after : O'Clock.
Early in the afternoon a thunder storm
threatened, but aside from sweeping the
streets free of dust and displac;ng a con-
siderable amount of the heated atmosphere
that hung over the city, but little benefit
resulted. But about I O'clock the heavy
dark clouds in the northwest came bearing
rapidly down, and almost without warning
severe storm broke. So quickly did the
rain come that thousands of peGes tranS
and others out of doors were caught be-
fore being able to reach shelter, and hun
dreds were drenched to the skin. 1t was
at time when wheelmen and wheelwo-
men were just starting out for evening
run, and many were caught at the Sol
di2rs Home at the White Lot or on the
suburban roads about the city, unable to
in many instances the occupants being
reach cover before the rain fell in its fury.
The number Of traps, carts and carriages
that received drenchings IVES remarkable,
III many instances the occupants being I'M
able, on account of the wind. to close the
tops of their carriages or buSg:es, were
forced to sit with the rain pouring IN tor
rents upon them. Open cars, with their
light side coverings, were far from water
proof, and their occupants huddled to-
gether, wet and bedraggled.
1t was noticeable that while the electrical
display was brilliant, very little thunder
was heard. The wind was high out in
Mount Pleasant, and further in town the
rain fell as if in a tropical storm. Sewers
were choked, and in many instances the
streets ran like rivers. The records of the
weather bureau indicate that the maxi
mum velocity of the wind was forty-eight
miles an hour, and that during the brief
period Of the storm more than third of
an inch of rain fell By far the greatest
rious fire which broke out in the commits

The fact came cut today that an at
tempt was made yesterday TO iEteriect
the money question into the A. p. A fight.
Colonel Sellers of Detroit was the man
ho made the attempt. Ee wanted a
plark in the platform favorinS the coinage
of silver at the ratio of 1G 10 /. He had
strong backing, but the council almost
unanimously decided to keep away from
the money question. 1t decided that il
had rothing tc 60 with financial or tariff
matters and that each individual member
of the order should decide these questions
to suit himself.

There is no doubt that a good many
sores have been left from the political

bitterness und ar1eath. Many of the non-

been hurt. They fear further damage un-
less the political feeling is put down.

glad the speaker had touched on the ques-

that there was a bill now pending in the

sentative of Rome Cardinal SatollD. This
same Vice President came through the west
several years ago and we gave him an
ovation, but after this if he will come
through the west he will not receive an

Mr.. Waldrop talked on common school
educa ton, and of the A. p A. opposition
to the Roman Church. He said the A. p A.
would continue its work until the halls of
Congress were filled with such men as
Linton. Then, touching on the matter of
immigration, he said that there were too
many American workmen out of employ
ment now to let any more worthless inn
migrants come to this country.

The business world can not know

whether the deficit or revenue

action upon financial measures
proposed by the President or

unfavorably all branches of.busi-

He has, in the past, a record for
cruelness and atrocities not gen

He is cordially hated by Cuhans,
and they declare his coming will
beworth a dozen battles. No
mans life, they say, will be safe
