TWO TOWNS WIPED OUT.
One in Ohio by Fire and the Other
in Iowa by Tornado and
ClOudburSt.

Bowling Green, O., July 7.-Prairie De-
pot, town of 1000 inhabitants in the
eastern part Of this county, was the
scene yesterday Of the worst fire the
place ever experienced. Thirty one bust
ness concerns, all save one in the town,
besides the postoffice and a printing of
flee, were burned out in two hours The
loss will reach nearly 100000, with in
surance less than half that amount.
Two men-Frank Nelson, a barber, and
John Ohls-were overcome by heat and
fell into a burning building. They were
rescued but were so badly burned that
they cannot recover. Two others were
overcome by the heat, but last evening
were reported better. This is the second
fire that has visited the village this year.
On January { yearly one-half of the bust
ness places in the town was destroyed.
Some of the firms haa just resumed bust
ness and are now in ashes for the second
time. Two churches are among the
buildings burned. The schoolhouse, a fine
brick building, was on fire several times,
and it was saved only by men with axes
cutting away the burning portion.
Marshalltown, Ia, July 7.--Report
reaches here that a tornado and cloud

done. Adolph Rhodes house was struck
and plate glass smashed and other dam
age done amounting to about $2OO. a

Minister WI Anxious.
Washington, d. c., July NO one in
Washington is more anxious to hear of
the safety of the foreign legations in Pc
kin than Mr. WI, the Chinese minister.
He carefully reads every word of Chi
nese news that appears in the papers and
eagerly asks all the reporters who call
upon him for the latest developments in
the Chinese situation. Mr.. WI, while
| apprehensive of what may happen as a
result of the existing disturbances in Pc
kin and other parts of Northern China.
still clings to the hope that the reports
that have come of the sacking of the le-
cations and the murder of the ministers
have been exaggerated, and that when
the truth becomes known affairs will not
be in the sorry plight in which they are
now represented to be.
The minister does not believe there will
be any demonstrations against foreigners
in the central and southern provinces of
the empire. Any indications of that char
acter he feels will promptly be put down
by the vigilance Of the viceroys of the
various provinces.
