DEvAsrATED By TIE STORM.
Gloucester, Small Ohio Town, Almost
Totally Destroyed.

e.. 1Ot81Ay DesLrOYeO.
ATHENS, O., July 3O.-The most de-
structive storm in the history of Sunday
Creek valley occurred at Gloucester, a
mining town twelve miles north of here
last night, resulting in the almost total
destruction of one of the principal thor
oughfares of the town. The fury of the
wind is indescribable. Buildings were
toppled over, trees torn from their roots,
and the town is scene of desolation.
]. L. Dougherty was struck by a
plank and instantly killed. Four other
persons are reported dead, and several
seriously injured. A livery stable with
six horses, vehicles, etc., was blown
into the creek and swept away. Nearly
every building in the town is damaged.
To add to the horror, Sunday creek is a
sweeping raging torrent. Several houses
have been washed away, and two per-
sons are reported drowned.
Latef-Word has just been received
that the list of dead will reach fifteen.

"A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Express Crashes Into Excursion Train
Near Atlantic City

Express Crashes Into Excursion Train
Near Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July 30.-A
railroad accident, horrible in its details
and sickening in its results, occurred
this evening, just outside of this city.
and as a result about 100 persons are
either killed or injured.
The Reading railroad express, which
left Philadelphia at 5 40 O'Clock this
evening for Atlantic City, crashed into
Pennsylvania railroad excursion train
at the second signal tower, about four
miles out from here.
The Pennsylvania train was returning
to Bridgeton with a party of excursion
lists from that place, Milville and neigh
boring towns. It was loaded with pas
sengere; and rough estimate of the
killed and injured at a late hour places
the number at 100. 1t is hoped that
this is an exaggeration, but the number
is undoubtedly more than so.
At the second signal tower. the tracks
of the two roads diagonally cross. The
Reading train was given the signal to
stop, but the brakes either failed to
work or the speed of the express was too
great to be checked in time. It caught
the excursion tram broadside and
ploughed through, literally cleaving 1t
in twain. The engine OF the Reading
train was shattered to pieces. Every
car on the excursion train was jammed
to its fullest capacity.

AS bull takes offence at any thing red.
cent protests to the Naval Department
show that the A. p. A. goes into con-
vulsions over everything green. These
protests we're at first looked upon as a
joke, but when 1t went 30 far ~ to hint
at the impeachment Of the Secretary OF
the Navy unless he would abolish the
greeniah col.r Of our naval vessels, it
became apparent that the A. P. A. was
really In earnest In It's protestations This
goes 10 show that the A p A. is con-
trolled 20 very great extent. at least,
by the sentiment existing In Ireland
among the Orsngemen In opposition TO
the Catholics In that country. Real
Americans have no hatred to the color
Of green anymore than to any other
color, and 1t Is evident that such a
prsjudIoe had It's rise in the breasts Of
disgruntlsd Itishmen and Americans who
hate anything that savors Of Catholicism.
This reminds us Of an incident which
occurred inoae Of our state Legislatures
not very long ago. The farmers were
trying to get bill passed In opposition n
TO 0leomsrg arine, and they insisted that
this material shoud nos be cDlorsd in
imitation Of butter. The matter was
discussed at great length. aud the House
became utterly tired Of It. Those who
favored the imitation butter declared
that it should be colored, and one in con-
Guiding his argument said that yellow
was the only color that could be used a
bright young Irish legislator, who like
many others WAS out Of patience with
the long discussion, rose to his ifeet and
said: why not color it ereel2
The comicslity OF this suggestion con
vulssd the Houss with laughter and
endsd the discussion. Perhaps IL would
never have ended II there had been an A
p A. present.
To return to our subject It Is not
likely that anyone outside Of an A. P. A.
ever supposed that the greenIsh cast
given to our ships had anything to dc
with Ireland or Irishmen. This shade
was selected because 1t is the color OF
safety. resembling the color of the sea.

ACTION OF CONGRESS.

Senate Disposes OF the secfarinn School
Question Goodwin Seated In House.
WAsHINcTON, April 23-Thc senate
disposed Of the scctarien school question
by adopting a oompromise framed by SEN
ator Cockrell of Missouri. The Indian
bill as it came from tho house provided
that No money herein appropriated shall
DO paid for education in sectarian schools.
This provision is stricken ont by the
Cockrell amendment as adopted, and IL is
declared to be the settled policy OF the gov
ornment TO make no appropriations for
sectarian schools after July 1. 1898, thus
giving two years for the abandonment Of
sectarian schools instead Of an immediate
abandonment The amendment was
adopted by the decisive vote of 3S TO -.
The Indian bill was not completed when
the senate adjourned.
During the session the bill was passed
providing government regulation of ex-
cursion fleets attending regattas; also the
resolution calling for information as to
the arrest of Bishop Diaz in Cuba. The
presidents vetoes Of two private pension
bills brought ont some CRITICISM from the
chairman of the committee on pensions,
Mr. Gallinger, but no action was taken
on the yetoes beyond referring them.

tion Of the general pension bill reported
from the invalid pensions committee. 1t

very important respects. Mr.. Picker, the
