IT WAS A TEARER,
The Recent Storm at Limestone Mas OF Genuine
Western Variety.

Hoult0n. Me, July 19.-Ncws has
been received here from Limestone. in
the northern part of the county, Of Sc
ricus damage done by cyclone in that
place. last Tuesday night
The funnel-shaped cloud which
swept through the village, uprooting
trees, tearing roofs from barns and
houses. leveling growing crops, break
ing thousands of panes Of glass and
doing damage on every side, was of
the real Western variety.
The violent wind was accompanied
by immense hail stones which severely
damaged crops not destroyed by the
wind, and injured horses and cattle in
open pastures. All telegraph and telc-
phone wires in the vicinity were pros
tratcd.
The cloud first was seen rushing up
the river just before O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon. and when it approac he'd
within a short distance of Limestone it
changed its course and made straight
for the town.
All those who saw the cloud ap-
preaching rushed to shelter. and in
less than a minute. with "A rush and a
whirl the cyclone had passed, leaving
little more than WreCkage in its wake.
Hardly a window was left in the town
anC from one spot nine rooflcss barns
could be seen.
In the village center. Il large board
was picked up by the wind and sent
crashing through the side of G. w.
Trafton'S house into the dining room
The Trdfton house is one Of the
most substantial in the town ana the
force Of the wind may he ina gined
from the fact that the board was fore
ed directly through the solid wall.
Following closely upon the wind
storm came a violent shower and the

heavy.

VIGOROUS PROTEST
Made 10 President by Felix Angus Of the BaIti
more American.

Baltimore, July 19.-Gen Felix An
gus. publisher Of the Baltimore Amer
lean. wired the following letter to
President Mckinley, this morning:
VIM. Mckinley, President. Canton, O.. A.:
Maclay's history of the navy is the
standard in use at the Naval Academy
In the third volume just issued, the
historian charges Rear Admiral Schlcy
With being n coward. a liar. caitff
an incompetent and insubordinate.
In an interview in the American. this
morning. Maclay. the historian, who is
a navy department clerk. claGSed as a
labcrcr and attached to the Brooklyn
navy yard. says that proofs Of this
third volume, which should have told
the most glorious story in all our ma
val annals. were submitted to Sccre-
tary Long and ADMIRAL Sampson and
approved by them in advance of pub
LEGATION: also that Long put him in his
pre- sent position after he had read and
approved this scurrilous attack upon
.Admlal Schlcy.
These proofs were also submitted to
Admiral Dewey. who refused to read
them.
If aught were needed to convince any
fair minded man that a clique in the
navy department has conspircd to ira
ducc the hero Of Santiago and that
the conspiracy WAS carried into execu-
tion while that brave and gallant Of
ficer was suffering expatration on the
fever infested coasts of South America
this would furnish it.
Will you. Mr.. President, in view of
ali this sit quietly by and permit these
conSpirators to continue their dia bolt
cal work? Every justice loving Ameri-
can appeals To you to intervene in the
name and for the sake of fair play
Next to being right all the time
which no man ever was. the best thing
is to find out as soon as possible that
you are wrong and right yourself i'm
ms diately.

Said local carrier Of some prominence
yesterday:
ut is imperatively necessary that we
form Il state association some time in
the near future, for there are many
matters of interest coming up every
month Which such an organization could
handle TO much better advantage than
the local association. For instance, in
September the national convention of
mail carriers will be held at Chatta-
no0ga, Tenn, and If questions of I'M
portance come before the convention the
able to take their part in the proceed
ingS that follow.
There are probably 600 or 700 carriers
in the state now and only a few OF the
larger cities have local organizations.
In the Twin Cities there are about SUU
carriers and in Duluth so or 60. The
state vice president of the national as
ISOLATION is a Minneapolis carrier. and
he is the father of the movement for
the state association. 1t is expected that
a general meeting will be called in either
ST. Paul or Minneapolis In few weeks
f01 the purpose of organizing.
There is also a movement afoot to Sc
cure the national convention for the
fall of 1902 for the Flour City. ST. Paul
and Duluth are both backing up Min
neapolis and the chances are that the
convention will be held there.

DRY GOODS TRUST.
NEW YORK RETAILERS TO FORM
COM1TNE


NEW YORK, April 8. = The Journal
of Commerce will say tomorrow: 1t may
be stated on authority that the plan to
consolidate a large retail dry goods COM
bination, on which Mr. John Claim has
been at work for some time, has now
been definitely completed and a syndicate
has been organized to finance 1t. This
would seem to indicate that the securitie S
Of the new company will be offered for
public subscription. J. P. Morgan & Co.
are at the head of the combination and
will, it is understood, underwiite the
whole issue. The capital of the company
will be $40, 100000, including common and
preferred stocks and bonds. The names
of the companies taken into the combina-
ton have not been officially stated but
friends of Mr.. Clafiin feel confident that
his two New York stores, namely, the
Adams Dry Goods company and Nc
Creery's Twenty-third street store, will
be included, while there is some talk that
Lord & Taylors two New York stores
and also the Joseph H. Baul & Co., OF
Brooklyn, may be invited into the new
concern.
1t is reported in dry goods circles that
the success of Wanamaker in coming to
New York is attracting the attention of
other Philadelphia and also of Boston
interests who believe they can give New
Workers points OH selling goods. The
sale of McCreery's Eleventh street store
to N. Snelienburg is an instance of this
feeling, and it is further stated that r.
II. White & Co., Of the well known Bos-
ton department store, are negot.ati
for the purchase Of a high-class Broad
way store.

trial at today's session of the conference

suppressing the action of the quorum of
