there is no telling where the flames
will stop, unless rain should fall, in

BENTON HARBoR, Mich, May O.
Last evening, during q sudden squall
on Lake Michigan. huge waterspout
developed, which travelled along the
shore several miles and burst about
three miles north of this city. The
roar of the falling water when it-col-
lapsed could be plainly heard in this
city aud in St. Joseph, Mich, which
is but q mile from here. Some Of the
fine vessels running between this city
and Chicago narrowly escaped con-
tact with the waterspout.
The oldest inhabitant of this section
OF the country, that is noted for its
storms, cannot remember similar
occurrence. Bat little damage was
done in comparison with what it would
have been had it happened either in
this city or St. Joseph.

DOVER, DEL, Msy 12.-The
"Muskrat' state adds four delegates
TO- day to the Mckinley column at St.
Louis, although they will go without
instructions. Presidential issues were
lost sight Of in tho campaign of the
primaries, the issue at stake being the
control Of the party for the balance Of
the year. On one side is "Gas-man"
Addicks and his barrel; on the other,
ex-senator Higgins, with Hon. George
B. Massey as an able coadiutor. The
tight between the two elements has
been bitter one, with unlimited
money on the Addicks side, and in
huence and personal friendship as the
principal weapons of war of the Aex-
senator. The "Gas man." however,
has won out, and will name three of
the de- sgates to st. Louis, the fourth,
or rather the first, will be himself.
