A ToRNADo.-A tornado that struck
the village of Herman, Neb., yesterday
evening, wrought fearful destruction.
A conductor on the evening train from
Sioux City passed the place not long
after the storm, and he says only few
buildings are left standing in the town.
He counted twelve dead bodies lying
in the streets. A special train was sent
from Blair, the county seat, ten miles
distant, for the scene of the disaster,
carrying surgeons and all needed sup
plies. Wires are all down north of
Herman, and it is not known how much
farther north the storm passed; but re-
ports are coming in to the effect that a
large portion of country north of Her
man is laid waste. The entire eastern
portion of Nebraska was swept by a
terrific rain, wind and electric storm
last night. The streets of Omaha were
flooded, and the play ofthe lighting was
fearful.

Unusual Relations Between WOrkmen
and Employees at the CreusOt Works.

Unusual Relations Between wOrkmen
At the French embassy it is stated that
exaggerated reports have been circulated
here and abroad concerning the recent
strike at Creusot, the largest steel and iron
works in France. and the one with which
the United States government has had
and armor processes.
A strike at that institution, employing
over 10000 operatives, is remarkable be-
cause of the almost paternal relations that
have existed for nearly half a century be-
tween the head of the house and the work
men. The administration passed from Mr.
Schneider the founder, to his son, Henri
Schneider and in the death of the latter to
Eugene Schneider, the present administra-
tor and during all this time serious dis
agreement has been unheard of.
The late strike resulted from the efforts
of a few socialiStic agitators. who succeed
ed for short time in influencing (mainly
by intimidation) the great mass of content
ed workers. 1t was only necessary for Mr..
Schneider to appeal to the intelligence of
the people and their recollection of the long
continued and cordial relations between the
house and its employees to induce them to
return in a body to their work, notwith-
standing the efforts of the disaffected ele-
ment.
The speedy and happy solution of the
ness of the wise and considerable treatment
of the employees, which has always char
acterZed the administration of the CreuSot
works.

NEW SITE SELECTED.
Com ssiOners Finally Locate Truck
House in West End.

The District Commissioners. being unable,
it is said, to secure a good title to the lot
on the north side of street between Bath
and 35th which they recently agreed to
purcha as a site for the truck house
which is to be located in Georgetown. they
today agreed to purchase a lot on S street
directly opposite the one abandoned. This
second lot is 80 feet front by depth of $50
feet to a 20-foot alley. the price to be paid
for the ground being $780, somewhat less
than the Commissioners agreed to pay for
the rejected lot. The second lot was of
fered by Mr.. VIM. H. Manogue and he
agrees to furnish the District with an I'M
disputed title. Mr.. Manogue also agrees to
place the lot and the adjoining one on
grade.
The plans for this house, together with
those for the truck house on Whitney ave-
nue., Columbia Heights, and the chemical
engine company in Tenleytown. have been
prepared, and bids for the erection of
the three houses will soon be invited by the
Commissioners. 1t Is believed the houses
can be completed by the first of the year, in
which event Congress will be asked by the
Commissioners to at once provide the men
required for three new companies. 1t is ex-
pected the new companies will be placed in
service early in 1890.

Mrs. Southworth's Work.

TO the EDITOR OF The Evening star:
In your article upon the gifted authoress,
Mrs. Southworth, Saturday evening you
quote this sentence: Contemplating this
remarkable career-this continuous stream
of story telling-of entertaining popular
fiction. running through period of forty
years. one cannot resist the conclusion that
her pen has been a potent factor in the
education of the popular mind
I desire to state that / was proud to see
that paragraph: not SO much because had
the honor to write and print it few years
ago in q leading Philadelphia paper, but
because it is a just tribute to a great and
good woman. The article from which it was
taken was submitted to Mrs. Southworth
before it was printed. and was by her pro-
nounced the best and most philosophical
exposition of her literary career that had
ever been written
desire to repeat here that this brilliant
writer was. in my humble opinion, a great
power for good in the field of American
letters. She was the pioneer in popular
newspaper fiction in this country. She
published the first serial story that was
ever continued from week to week in a
newspaper--in this or any country. so far
as known She never wrote a word or a
line that might have a double meaning or
might bring blush to an innocent cheek,

the ground, the troops arriving in the nick
of time to prevent the mob from setting it
on fire. An enormous number of arrests
have been made. 1t is not known how
many have been wounded.
At a late hour Saturday evening the gen.
