AT A STORMS MERCY.
Chicago People Given a Fright by
Sunday Nights Blow.


Sunday Nights Blow.
Out cf IL sky that was reasonably clear
at sunset an unprotected storm Of wind
and rain came suddenly at $50 o'clock
and gave Chicago people afioat and
ashore some damp and thrilling expe-
riences. The excursion steamer Maca-
tawa was caught in a squall and be-
tween the extinction of the lights by a
great roller which washed aboard and the
buffeting of the boat by the waves the
twenty-five passengers were frightened
into panic. There were twenty-five
passengers aboard-ten of them women
and they all joined N piercing cries for
help. Capt. Oliver Landreth, who as
soon rs lie saw the danger began making
preparations to run out of it, was compell-
ed to turn his attention to the affrighted
passengers. Some were preparing to
jump into the sea. The craft carried Il
deck crew of seven all told, some of them
acting us walters as we'll as deck hands.
They hearkened to the commands of Capt.
Landrcth and kept their senses. A fire
manor two came up from the boiler-room
and joined the Captains force. They
seized men and dragged them into the
cabins, where they dropped them uncerc-
moniousiy in safe places. Women who
tainted were picked up and taken inside,
where III the increased darkness they
were left to revive as best they could, while
the crcN returned to round up the other
passengers. who were scampering about
the deck like a lot of stampeded sheep.
Then the Captain turned his attention to
saving his boat, and made the run to
South Chicago safely.

cAuGHrAr HER SIXTH ATTEMPT.
Rhode Islands Girl Train Wrecker Is
Arrested by the Sheriff.

AfTGSL0u
After having made six attempts to
wreck New York, New Haven and Hart
ford trains, Fanny Taylor 13-year-o;d
colored girl, has been arrested near the
hamlet of Slocumyille, r. I. When the
Sheriff and his men came upon her
freight train had just crashed into Il rall
which she had placed on the track. IL IS
possible that the girl has made seven at
tempts to derail trains within half mile
of where she was caught. a pile OF
stones was found on the trace ten DAY
ago; but nothing was thought Of taat'
When the postal express from Boston
ran into a heap of ties and camagea INC
engine, the railroad company put patrol
on the track. For two nights the trains
were not disturbed. Then, five consecu-
tive attempts were made to wreck trains
on the road. Had it not been for the
barking of dog that the girl mad Win
her, it is doubtful whether the SherlH $
men would have caught her. The glri
was suspected of the attempted CRIME
from being seen near the tracks at a late
hour on the night after the postal train
SO nearly came to grief. A watcn was
put on her, and she was captured a1ter
freight train had just crashed over
crosstie which she had placed on the
track. The girl, who is Of rather hght
complexion and decidedly attractive ap-
pearance, is presumably insane. When
she was taken to the Washington county
Jail, in Kingston, she still refused to
talk, beyond saying that she is ID years
Of age. She also refused to eat, ana at
tempted to escape whenever chance or
fered. Since the girls arrest it has been
learned that her father, who works as
laborer, has fancied grievance against
the railroad company on account or
small bill which he says is due him
from a railroad contractor. 1t IS
surmised that the girl may have heard
her father complaining about this fam
cied wrong and set out to right matters
by Wrecking a train.

There is bad wreck on the Great North

an extra freight, with an engine ana
twenty cars, was ditched. Charles Wash
burn WAS instantly killed and Engineer
Peter was injured. At Faribault the
Straight River rose twenty feet in con-
sequence Of the downpour, and is now
near the danger line. Numerous railroad
and wagon bridges went out. A freight
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Road was wrecked. Many cattle have
been drowned and the crops badly dam
aged. A Morristown, Mimi, special says
that eighteen inches of water fell be-
tween 11:3O p. m. and 4 a. III. The loss
In bridges, logs, brick, crops and railroad
construction is very heavy. A through
freight train en- route to Cleveland on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railway was
derailed at Fallston, Pa, and ten cars
were precipitated over an embankment
into the Beaver River. Forty tramps
were On the train when the accident hap
pened and several were caught in the
wreck. One unknown dead man and
three injured have been taken out so far
and six others are missing.

FIVE HUNDRED POISONED.

Disastrous Result of July Picnic in
New York State.
Five hundred persons at Wappingers
Falls, N. Y, were poisoned at a Fourth
of July picnic by eating ham sandwich
es, the most of the ham having been
cooked in a copper-bottonaed kettle.
Three hundred of the afflicted ones suf-
fered severely and are not yet well, but
none have died. In every case, man and
child, the symptoms were alike-yiolent
cramps and spasms, nausea, burning
fever. The physicians found the meat
so thoroughly permeated with the poison
that if any one had eaten largely of it
the result would surely have been fatal

TOOK $4,000 OUT WEST.

Excursion Business the Heaviest Ever
known on Western Roads.
West-hound excursion business during
the past five days has been the largest in
the history of railroading. A computa-
ton made at Kansas City shows that
from June 80 to July 4, inclusive, the
Union Pacific, in addition to it's regular
service, handled 46 special trains. Each
train carried an average of 300 passen-
gers, or an aggregate of 1880 for this
line alone. On the Burlington, Santa Fe,
Missouri Pacific, and Rock Island SINH
larly heavy business was done, the ag-
gregate number of excursionists carried
west being something over $4,000.

CROPS HELP OUT TRADE.
Prospects for a Good Yield Are Highly
Re3SSuriuc,

Il. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: 1T seems to be the fact that
crops in other countries are less promising
than usual, and the demand for American
wheat is supplemented even at this sea-
son by exports of $685. 94 bushels of
corn, against $50, 610 bushels for the same
week last year. Each week raises the
estimate of wheat yield, however, and if
the weather continues favorable the crop
may prove a most important factor in the
future Of national and international bust
ness. The prospect as to corn is growing
more cheerful with each week, and an
immense crop is now anticipated. Fan
ures for the week have been 206 in the
United States, against 90 last year, and
SO in Canada, against 80 last year"

Death in the Heat,

In all parts of the country east of the
Mississippi Valley, and in the Southwest,
the heat was terrific Saturday and Sun
day. In Colorado a furious snow storm
ragged At Duluth, a cloudburst did
nearly q million dollars damage. In
Chicago Saturday five died and forty five
succumbed to the heat; in Cincinnati
thirteen died, and fifty were prostrated;
temperature in the two cities was 100 and
1O2 degrees, respectively. Sunday night
a thunder storm cooled Chicago, and
saved many lives.

London dispatch: Affairs in British In

cles, both here and in Calcutta, is that
a mutinous conspiracy is being Matched.
1t is conceded by the newspapers that
discomfort with British rule in Hindustan
is rapidly growing, caused principally by
the terrible conditions resulting from the
famine and the plague. There are some
who openly say that rebellion may be

BIG Stock OF COAL.

Enough in the Northwest to Last
Four Months.
A. Brcnholz, who manages the home
office for the General Hooking Coal
Company at Columbus, Ohio, says there
is at least 10000 tons Of coal In storage
in the Northwest. He estimates that this
will supply all demands for at least four
months, no matter how general the min
ers' strike becomes. There Is considera-
BILE coal on the Ohio docks ready for ship
ment by lake, but this will be held for
supplying transient trade. With respect
to supply for the railroads, 1t is esti-
mated that the different companies have
enough coal on hand to last them about
six weeks.

By the decisive vote of 80 to % the
tariff bill was passed in the United States
Senate shortly before 5 o'clock Wednes-
day. The culmination of the long and ar
duous struggle had excited the keenest
interest, and the floor and the galleries
of the Senate chamber were crowded by
those anxious to witness the closing scene.
Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley and
many of the members of the House of
Representatives were in the rear area.
while every seat in the galleries save those
reserved for foreign representatives was
occupied.
The main interest centered in the final
vote, and aside from this there was lit
tie of dramatic character in the debate.
The early part Of the day was spent on
amendments Of comparatively minor i'm
portance, the debate branching into
financial and antitrust channels. By
o'clock the Senators began manifesting
their impatience by calls for "vote"
