GALE IN THIS CITY.
Roof of an Elevator Carried Away
Other Damage Done.

A gale of the Kansas-Nebraska type has
held indianapolis and Indiana in its grasp
for the last forty-eight hours and there
has been considerable damage done to
houses, shrubbery and wires. The weather
observer has promised let-up in the
blow and there is hope foF calm Sunday.
The wind began its work Friday, but
it was in the early hours of Saturday
morning that the storm burst in all its
fury over Indianapolis. Shortly after 5
o'clock yesterday morning the wind soft
ened, but it was only the calm before the
storm At $3.50 o'clock veritable hurri
cane swept over the city and trees and
houses were swept before it,
few minutes after the first heavy blow
was over message was received at police
headquarters to the effect that the roof of
the building occupied by the Pneumatic
Scale and Weighing Machine Company, in
Morris street, had been blown off and was
living across Morris street. The roof was
lifted from the building and dropped
squarely across Morris street, closing the
street to traffic. The fire department was
notified of the blockade TO avoid accident
in case of fire. The debris was cleared
from the street early yesterday
John Bates, night Waterman at the Pneu-
matte Scale and Weighing Machine Com
pany's plant, had a narrow escape from
being buried under mass of debris. The
StOrm burst in all its fury Just as Bates
reached the door leading to the upper story
of the building. He opened the door and
was preparing to take the next step when
the roof lifted and a mass of bricks and
mortar fell at his feet A number of bricks
showered around his head, but he was not
injured large stone window base fell be-
hind him and was shattered. The wind
continued to blow bricks and mortar
around Bates but in the distance he could
see a roof sailing through the air.
Another freak of the storm was that
when the roof left the building it carried
with il a large brick chimney The roof
landed in the street with the chimney still
intact The interior of the company's build
ing is a mass Of debris
During the same blow a barn belonging to
George A Nicely, a carpenter, living at
1910 Tigo street, was lifted from its site
and hurled into a common in the vicinity
horse was gone and it is thought the barn
was lifted over the horse. Nicely SAYS the
horse was locked in.
The belfry Of the Olive-street Presbyter-
ian Church was unrOofed Friday night and
the bell is left unprotected from the ele-
ments.
The police reported trees down all over
the city yesterday morning and a number
of streets were blocked TO traffic for some
time. The treet-cleaning department was
kent busy yesterday clearing roadways
The notice and fire telegraph systems suf-
fered considerably from the storm and re-
pairmen were out on the lines all day yes
terday All of last night a close watch was
kent on the wires. The tOWermen at the
courthouse were instructed by Chief Coots
TO be very careful during the night, as
fires might break out at any time and the
wires fail to carry the alarms.

BROWN COUNTY ASSAULTS.
Authorities Are Moving Earnestly in
Investigation of the Cases.


Investigation of the Cases.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NASHVILLE, Ind, April 26.-Excitement
continues to run high concerning the re-
cent mob violence upon Caldwell and
Stretchberry, both residing in the west
part of Brown county, and while the facts
have not yet been established in the courts
some important and serious disclosures are
coming to the front.
This is especially true with reference to
the assailants OF Stretchberry, since two of
his neighbors are openly accused of having
been parties to the crime. The grand jury
is now in session and will thoroughly in
vestigate these outrages and it is believed
that at least part of the guilt will be To-
Gated and punishment melted out. 1t has
developed that some petty thieving, alleged
to have been committed by members of
the Stretchberry family was the provoca
ton of the assault on MIR. Stretchberry.
John Lanam complained of frequently
missing geese and turkeys, and not long
ago he accused the Stretchberry boys of the
stealing, al the same time scolding the
them sent 10 the home for incorrigibles.
However, Mr.. Stretchberry enjoys the
reputation of being an honest, peaceful,
industrious citizen and in point OF charac-
ter stands fully as well I'm his community
as Mr.. Lanam.
Stretchberry has been in town and told
all he knows to the prosecutor. While here
he refused TO recognize one of his neigh
bors on the ground that he was one of those
who participated in the assault. His allega-
most as much of a sensation as the as
Sault itself.

How the Little Church Around the
Corner Got It's Home.

NEW YORK. April 26.-Mrs. Katherine
Holland. widow of George Holland. the
noted comedian. and mother of Joseph, f.
nj. and George Holland. is dead in this
CITY. Her funeral will take place from the
Little Church Around the Corner" on Sun
day.
Her death revived recollections of the
manner in which the famous little vine
clad house of worship became so popular
with the actors of this country, indeed.
TO such an extent that the members of the
profession have come to look upon ii as
their own. George Holland died in 1870.
Joseph Jefferson was requested by the
family to make arrangements for the
funeral He applied at a marble edifice in
Fifth avenue, but was told that the actors
funeral was not desired there.
There's a little church around the corner
that does that sort OF thing" said the
clergyman.
Then / say God bless the little church
around the corner" replied Jefferson, and
successfully applied to the late Rev. DIR.
George II. HOughton of the Church of the
Transformation. As result of this incl
dent DR.. Houghton's church has since had
the good Will of the theatrical profession,
and what was once a struggling parish has
become strong metropolitan church.
