PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

A SON was born to Count William
Bismarck, youngest son of Prince Bis
marck, and his wife on the Goth.
Prince Bismarck has four grand
daughters, but the child just born is
his first grandson.
CARL BAILEY HURST, United States
consul at Prague, informed the state
department, on the Goth, that an inter-
national pharmaceutical exhibition
will be held in Prague from August
is to September Is next, and that the
attendance of persons in the United
States interested is desired.
HARRY RITrENHoUsE, 12 years old,
committed suicide at Barberton, N. j.,
on the 2sth. His parents wanted him
to go to school, The boy refused to
go and hanged himself in the barn.
A NEW edict issued by Capt. Gen.
Weyler suspends for one year all ju-
dicial proceedings against planters
with regard to their property, and
their creditors will not now be able to
secure payment of interest or be
permitted to sue In the Cuban courts
Or to institute foreclosure proceedings
upon any mortgage they may hold.
As many Cuban plantations are mort
gagged to American creditors, Secfe-
tary of State Olney is expected to en-
ter very forciblo protest with the
Madrid government against the exc
cution of the decree.
WHILE Madison Square garden, New
York city, was filed, on the night Of
the eth, with soldiers and other per-
sons interested in the Cuban-Ameri-
can fair, a voliey of stones thrown
against the side of the building shat
tered four windows. The attack was
made when the crowd was greatest by
four well-dressed Spaniards, who fed
and made their escape In trolley car
when the Cuban guard, in uniform
and armed with machetes, rushed out
to capture them.
LAFAYETTE Park, the pride of all
st. Louisans and gem of rustic
beauty, was reduced by the great
storm Of the 9th to the condition Of
tangled jungle. Not tree or build
ing was left within the entire inclos-
ure, while the beautiful residence
neighborhood surrounding it was
equally q mark for the furies of the
upper deep.
AT st. Joseph, Mo-, on the 2Sth. the
temperature dropped 30 degrees in an
hour. About five o'clock low clouds
appeared from the north and east, and
the temperature fell fast. BY evening
people were shivering. There was no
precipitation. Considerable wind ac-
companied the appearance of ths
storm.
The only positive action taken by
the republican senatorial caucus, on
the Goth, was a vote by which 1t was
decided that the bill to refund the
debts Of the bond-aided Pacific rail-
roads should be postponed until the
next session. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that adjournment would come
not later than June 8, and possibly
earlier.
No LESS than sixteen houses of wor-
ship in the immediate neighborhood
Of what was Lafayette park in st.
Louis, some of them costly and mag
nifcent edifices, were either demol-
ished or badly wrecked by the great
cyclone. II is estimated that more
than quarter OF million dollars will
be required TO restore these churches
alone.

Storm that Devastated st. Louis and
East st. Louis.
NASHVILLE, ILL.,, May 31.--Wednes-
day evening about 6;50 o'clock New
Minden, village Of 400 people located
seven miles north of this city, was
swept away by one Of the most terrific
and disastrous tornadoes ever known
In this history of this country, carry
ing death and destruction in its wake.
Only one building In the little village
is standing without injury. There
were 80 or co buildings in the place,
and all were completely wrecked ex-
cept the creamery. The only -four
mill in the place was unroofed and
badly damaged, with quite a
loss Of -four and grain. The
Luthern church is about a
total wreck. together with the
village schoolhouse. which is demol-
ished. The storm was accompanied by
osperfect deluge q xain and hal cota-
~ h0UtHtUtttIiy AffU0ptUx&z w
about Ave miles south of'New Minden,
then varying to the northeast, passing
out of this (Washington) county near
Irvington, at which place considerable
damage was done to dwellings, or
chards, etc, but no lives were lost
there
New Minden seems to have been in
the track of the storm center, but all
along it's path through this county
nothing but destruction can be
seen. Farmhouses, barns, fences and
orchards are now in ruins and
growing crops and fruit are badly
damaged. The track of the storm was
at least mile in width, but the heavy
wind touched up much greater terri
tory throughout the northern half OF
the county. Nashville was also visited
by severe storm, with rain, causing
much damage to chimneys, shade trees
and electric light wires.
The estimated loss in property to the
citizens of New Minden is $4,000 to
500, 900, and to farmers in the storm
stricken portion of this county the
damage will not fall short of $4,000.
Following is the list of casualties.
