Cripple Greek. Colo. April 12.-The
Cripple Creek district was visited by
the severes and most destructive bliZ-
card ever known today. An immense
amount of damage has been done, and
in all probability some lives have been
lost in the hills, INK to that effect
being in circulation. and general fear
is entertained for the ~prospectors. A
light sno started in at IL o'clock last
night, and about 3 this morning the
storm renewed and the velocity of the
increased to a gale, and continued to
blow at the rate Of so miles an hour all
day. The o was kept in motion to
such IN extent that it was utterly i'm
possible to see 100 feet in any direc-
ton. A score or more of small houses
in this city were blown down. and over
100 tents. signs and loose lumber was
scattered over town. All the telephone
wires out Of the camp are down, and
no trains will arrive or depart this aft
ernoon. Fires broke out in a half
dozen places in this city during the
day, but fortunately were extinguish-
ed Immediately.
At 1890 the Cripple Creek Commits
sion three-story building on Carr ave.
nue., neal the Midland depot, fell with
a crash and it caught on fire from an
overturned stove, and was completely
destroyed. The building is isolated,
which prevented a general c%onf1agra-
ton. The building was owned by Jim
Ducey and the total loss was in the
neighborhood of s. 5000. =
The Boston Cafe building on the
southwest corne Of Carr and Second,
was partially wrecked.
A large rooming house on Warren
avenue, between Third and Fourth,
vas blown down about noon, and sew
eral occupants were slightly injured.
In the residence portion of town small
dwellings by the score were partially
or totally wrecked.
On West Warren avenue trees were
uprooted by the force of the wind, and
there were many narrow escapes.
The 1:2O p. n. train over the Flor
ence and Cripple Creek was stalled, be-
tween here and Anaconda. One of the
suburban trains from Victor is stuck
in the snow at Elkton.
On the Midland Terminal two pas
senger trains are blockaded at Gillett.
A dozen buildings or more were
blown down at Gillett. and a number
at Altman, Gold Field and Victor. Shaft
houses and surface improvement all
over the district were badly damaged.
The big new shaft house on the An
choria-Leland, on Gold hill. was blown
down early this morning.
The damage to property throughout
the camp will not fall below 500. 900.

Cincinnati, o., April 12.>udge ]
H. d. Stevens OF st. Louis, chairman
OF the national executive committee OF
the A. p. A.. passed through Cincinnati
tonight, en- route to Boston. Regard
ing the fight the A. P. A. is making
against Mckinley. Judge Stevens said:
II noticed in the Cincinnati papers
this morning what ~purported to 9be an
Interview with prominent members OF
the association, which In general is
correct. yet it is erroneous in some
particulars.
ut is true the A. P. A. will not give
to Mckinley its support. either for the
nomination. or for the election, should
he be nominated. His record is such
that no A. P. A., member, who Us true
to his principles, can support. McKin-
ley has v recognized this organiza-

Judge Stevens then enumerated vari-
GUS grievances against Mckinley,
among them the neglect of McKinley's
managers to grant an A. P. A. commit
tee an audience in Washington on the
9th to the Both OF last March, and the
fact that Mckinley himself left mans

AN OPAL CANNOT BE LOST.
Apparent Notification Of = Virtue Claimed
For the Alleged Unlucky Gem.

EoH so hstGkSu huA no~S
A wealthy broker of West Philadel-
phia had. u rather singular experience
the other day. He and his family have
had in their possession for u number of
years some very handsome opals. but
the superstition which was formerly en-
tertained concerning the stone being I'M
lucky prevented him making use of the
gems. Last year he took a trip to Eu-
rope. While in London hs met at the
house of Il mutual friend a dealer in
precious stones. who had Just come from
Gracias a Dios, i'll Honduras. and had
brought back some fine gems.
Instead of putting any faith in the
popular superstition this gentleman be-
lieved in the opal very thoroughly and
attributed to it virtues which 10 other
gem possessed. Among the things which
he said about it vas that the opal was
attached to its owner by invisible cords
and that it was impossible to lose it,,
though it might be mislaid. The Phila-
delphia broker IN his return to Phila-
delphia chose the finest opal in his col
lection. had it set in a ring. surrounded
by small diamonds, and mt Christmas
presented ~ 10 MS WIG. IL was rTOly u
beauty, and she wore it with conscious
pride.
One day on returning from IA days
outing she received quite o shock-the
opal was gone. Search proved vain. No
trace Of the stone could she discover.
Not only on account of its value, but
because she knew how highly her hus-
band priced the stone, she hated to in
form him Of her loss. At last she felt
obliged to do SO, when, greatly to her
astonishment, he drew from his vest
pocket u tiny package and presented it
to her. Upon opening it what was her
delight when she recognized her lost
opal.
More astonishing still, her husband
affirmed that whilo he was walking
down Chestnut street u day or two be-
fore he felt something under the sole of
his shoe, which upon investigation
proved to be the opal which be had last
seen shiinlnering upon his wife's finger.
There was no doubt about it being the
lost one, for the jeweler who had set
it recognized it also. = Philadelphia
Times.
