Further Details OF the Michigan
Cyclone.
Oxford, Mich, May 26.-From reports
that continue to come In from adjacent
points, the full force of the storm that
swept this part of the country is begin
ming to be appreciated. Everywhere is
devastation. Villages that were yester-
day the home of contented citizens are
today desolate. Manned and bruised
fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters
mourn for those who met death in the
twisting, grinding, resistless wind.
The death roll In this vicinity may
run to the hundred mark. At Oakwood,
a hamlet fifty miles north of Oxford and
having population of about 400, not a
house was left standing. The path Of
the storm was between half and three
fourths of a mile wide. 1t extended
nearly a straight course eastward over
the thirty miles. A remarkable circum-
stance Is that buildings in close prox-
unity to each other were blown in op-
posite directions, some being swept
northward and others southwark.

the German minister of foreign affairs,

ambassador In the United States, re-
garding the case of Mr.. Stern, of New

Secretary Olney has made himssIf SO
notorious throughout the world by the
vigor, not to say the rudeness Of his
style in diplomatic circles, that Baron

The Globe says on the same subject:
"The Stern incident is most useful
and instructive lesson which will do the
Americans great deal of good if only
they are not too vain to profit by it."

Victoria, May 26.-A terrible accident
occurred here today. A sham fight and
review was to take place at Macauley
Point, near Esquimalt, this afternoon,
and crowds were making their way
there by every route. All the tram cars
were packed. Two cars left Govern
ment street with more than 100 people.
The first got over Point Ellice bridge,
which crossed Victoria arm, safely, but
when the other was half way over the
middle span of the bridge, about Iso
feet in length, gave way, and the cars
plunged into the water some 100 feet
below.
The car was completely submerged
and all on board were drowned, with the
exception of some of those who were
standing on the platforms and who, es-
Gaping injury from the falling timbers
managed to save themselves by using
the floating ruins of the bridge and thus
got ashore. Numbers of the bodies
have already been gotten up, and the
work of Identification is proceeding. 1t
is difficult matter as a great many of
the bodies are these of visitors.
When the bridge broke there were
several carriages on the bridge and these
were also parcipitated into the water.
Superintendent Wilson was driving one
of these, and had his FIVE children with
him. He succeeded in saving himself
and four of the children. The fifth,
little boy, was wedged between some
iron bars and was drowned.
The sad affair has cast a deep gloom
over the city. AS soon as the news of
the accident reached Macaulay Point,
the review was brought to a speedy
termination, as under the circumstances
was possible, and the sham fight was

Have Been Murdered.

MISS annie Samuelsen supposed to
Have Been Murdered.
Salt Lake City, May ENLIGHTENMENT
over The Swedish Methodist church sen
salion has been added TO rather than
abated during the past twenty four
hours, inasmuch as 1t calls attention to
the disappearance of another young la
dy, Miss Annie Samuelsen, last January.
Miss Samuelsen was comley maiden
OF % years. After Miss Clausen's dis
appearance she appeared to be favorite
with the pastor. They were much to-
gether, but nothing was thought of the
matter as 1t was an open secret that
they were TO be married at an early
date. The last seen of Miss Samuelsen
by her friends was about the last of
January, when she called upon friend,
Miss Swanson, stating that she was go.
ing to Ogden to visit for few days, and
that she and Hermann were to be mar.
ried there. On February a telegram
and letters were received telling frien d
that the engagement had been broken
and she was on her way to Sweden
Rev. Hermann also exhibited letter to
the same effect. The theory of the po-
lice is that Hermann wrote the letters
himself, and comparison with his hand
writing shows marked similarity.
CHEMIST A LA HOLMES.
Just prior to going east Hermann
handed to Mr.. Hanson a small box
containing cleroform, several bottles of
poison, and some pills for causing abor-
ton, accompanying them with remark
that he had studied medicine and found
them useful. The theory is advanced
that he poisoned his victims, and at least
in the case of Miss Clausen, used the
knife and razors to cut up the body, as
the furnace door, 6 X IL inches, is not
large enough to admit body. A blood.
stained barrel and bloody Salt Lake
Herald containing a graphic account of
the murder of Mrs. Charles Thiede,
were also found. What disposition was
made of the body of Miss samuelsen is

Perry ConNeaaen.

Ava, Mo-, May a6.-Ed w. Perry, the
murderer of the Sawyer family--father,
mother and son-has made a written
confession, In which he says the deed
was done by himself, Arthur Douglass of
Springfield, Mo-, and a member of Sells
Brothers and Forepaugh's circus. Doug
lass has been arrested at his home at
Springfield. The showman's name is
not given and he Is believed to be a
myth.
Perry claims the plot originated with
the Snowman, who compelled he and
Douglass to be parties to 1t, threatening
them with death II they refused. He
alleges that the actual murder was com

Positive Evidence Found.

Salt Lake City, May a6.-Positive ev.
idence of the murder and cremation Of
Miss Clawson by Hermann were found
yesterday. In excavating in the base
lnent under the church, the police found
pair of bloody oyeralls identified as
being worn by Hermann the day he
fred up the furnace, together with some
bloody tracts, some ladies clothing and
blood-covered book.
The police also traced to a second
hand store trunk, guitar, several arti-
cles of clothing, which belonged to the
dead girl, the evidence showing that
Hermann sold them in January of this
year.
No traces of Annie Samuelsen have
been found. Hermann had a large,
strong box made by the Romney, Tay,
Tor & Armstrong company, as he all
legged, TO store away books, paying
therefor SAL 1t is possible her body
was packed therein, and shipped to some
distant point.
Governor Wells will offer a reward
for Hermann's arrest.

FATE OF A FISHING PARTY
Fears that Hammock Indians Have
CAPTURED Them for Revenge.

So
Pocatello, May 26.-Great anxiety is
felt in this city over the continued abb
sence of a fishing party of seven en-
ployees of the mechanical department
of the Union Pacific railway. They left
Saturday morning for the bottom on
the Fort Hall reservation to fish, expect
ing to return some time Sunday. 1t is
feared the treaeherous Bannocks have
captured them, as 1t is known that these
Indians are hiding their time to avenge
the fate of their comrades last summer
in Jackson's Hole. An armed posse left
late tonight for the fishing grounds in
search of the missing party, and If they
are unsuccessful several parties will
start at daylight. A courier has been
sent to the Indian agency at Ross Fork
to ascertain II any intelligence has been
received there. Egssska t.
The Indians are watching progress on
the Idaho canal with much hatred, and
further hostilities are feared.

coin. A row occurred with the stated
result. Eisenheimer was arrested and

THE COUNTRY AROUSED.
Intense Interest Created All Over
the limited States,

the UHlted states,
Salt Lake City, May a5.-Extended re-
ports of the case were sent out by wire
and appeared yesterday in newspapers
all over the world. Hermann could
hardly have failed to have seen them
and If he is innocent his first move
would naturally be to surrender him
self or send some word to his associates
here. But he has done snothing of the
kind. Evidently he has taken pains to
hide his trail for no trace of him has
been found.
Intense interest In the case has been
aroused all over the United States.
This is shown by the fact that although
the regular press reports were heavy
and covered the case fully, leading jour
nails in Chicago, New York and else
where have wired for special reports.
One New York paper yesterday morn
ing telegraphed for supplemental re-
port of two columns.
