TERRIFIC STORM IN PRUSSIA
1t Broke over Berlin and Its
Vlncinity Early Monday.
GREAT DAMAGE WAS INFLICTED
Many Buildings Were Struck by
Lightning.


Berlin, Prussia, April 14.-A violent
thunderstorm, accompanied by torren-
tial rain, broke over Berlin and its
vicinity early today, causing great
damage. Many buildings were struck
by lightning. The fire brigade was
summoned to upwards of 800 places to
extinguish fires and cope with floods.
The water was so deep around the
approaches to the railroad on Friederich
strasse that it was impossible to reach
the depot. At the Lehrte station some
of the waiting rooms had to be closed,
as the walls threatened to fall. A por-
tion of the embankment of the Pots
dam railroad near Schoenberg was
swept away, and similar damage to the
Circular railroad necessitated a suspen-
sion of traffic.
The streets were so flooded that the
street cars in several districts were
stopped. The roads we're almost i'm
passahle for pedestrians, and, conse-
quently, the schools were closed. The
museum was considerably damaged.
The decorative portions of many build
ings and the statues in the public
squares were seriously damaged by hail,
which for time fell most heavily.
Trains were unable to leave the
Stettin station, because of the floods.
The cellars of the Royal Theatre and
the Reichsbank are under water.
A house on Gericht strasse collapsed.
Some of the occupants were injured. +,

West Chester, Pa, April II. 4.-Shortly
after daybreak, yesterday, the body OF
Arthur Grant, about 81 years old, was
found in wagon at the stable OF
Patrick Corcoran, at tho corner o.
Barnard and Darlington streets. Hi.
tongue partly protruded, and from
marks on his neck it looked to the
authorities as if he had been strangled.
There was also a mark above one oil
his eyes, as if made by blow. A.
the young man had been seen Saturday
evening with roll of money on his
person and when found only 10 cents
remained in his pockets, the suspicion
that he met his death by foul play was
strengthened. The police are shadow
ing a couple who were seen in Grants
company at an early hour yesterday
morning, and Coroner Troutman ex-
poets to develop another murder
mystery. The coroner's jury last even

MUNITIONS OF WAR.
San Francisco, Cal, April II. -
Twenty five cases of munitions of war
were shipped to the Colombian in
surgents from this port, on the City of
Sydney, last Tuesday. The Colombian
consul received word from New Orleans
that the arms and ammunition were on
the way from that city, but did not
attempt to prevent the shipment beyond
appealing to the collector of the port.
The collector wired Washington for in
structions, and yesterday received an
swer that he should prevent any
violation of the neutrality laws.
Further shipments are expected, and,
in view of the fact that the authorities
of the United States at this port have
been advised to take part in the matter,
trouble may be experienced in getting
the arms on any outgoing steamer.

how Col. Colenbrander, after locating
Commandant Beyers' laager, at Peel
kop, moved his force by different routes
from Petersburg, Transvaal Colony,
blocking the principal lines of retreat.
The fighting commenced April Sth,
when the Inniskilling Fusileers at
tackled Molipspoort, covering the Boers'
position, and by dusk had seized hill
eastward of the poort, after considera-
BILE opposition, resulting in Col. MUIR
ray being wounded and Lieut.. Lincoln
being killed. Another officer and FIVE
men were wounded. Since then the
operations continued daily. Colen-
brander's latest report, April 18th, gave
the Boer losses in killed, wounded and
prisoners as LOG men. The colonel
hoped to be able to report further cap
lures.
The most severe fighting occurred
April 18th, in Western Transvaal, where
Gen. Ian Hamilton has replaced Gen.
Methuen in command of the British
troops. The Beers attacked Col. Keke-
wich's force near Rooiwal, and fighting

FIVE MEN KILLED THREE WOUNDED.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 11.-Meagre
details of bloody battle fought be-
tween sheritf's posse and outlaws in
Scott county, Va, yesterday afternoon,
reached Knoxville late last night by
long distance telephone message from
Jonesboro, Tenn. Five men, all mem
bers of the sheritf's posse are reported
to have been killed and two other per
sons wounded, and James Wright who
escaped from Hancock county, Tenn.
where he was wanted on the charge of
murder, was shot and captured.
Wright was under life sentence in
the penitentiary, for murder, and es-
capped from the State prison at Brushy
Mountain, two years ago. He returned
to Hancock county, and there defied
the officers, although there was a re
ward of $500 for his arrest. Not long
after Wright's return home, Sheriff
Lagere of Hancock county was shot from
ambush and killed. The crime was
charged to James Wright, John Tenn
pleton, another murderer, and the
latter's brothers. The motive for the
alleged crime was said to be that Lagerc
had killed the father of the Templetons.
For some time officers have been
planning to capture Wright in his
home, and he, with John Templeton
and other associates, crossed tho State
line into Virginia. They have been in
Scott county about month. Yester-
day the sheriff organized strong posse
and attempted to arrest the gang The
men had been notified, and pitched
battle resulted Five of the sheriff s
posse are said to have been killed, and
two deputy sheriffs, Joseph Moss and
Samuel Wax, wounded. Wright was
wounded and captured, but the others
who were with him escaped. They are
being pursued, but the mountains of
the county afford them many chances
of ESCAPE,

WORKHOUSE SUPPLIES.
Why the Trustees Iiuy Them In the Mark ct
. Instead of Inviting BIDS.

When the Trustees OF the New Castle
County Workhouse need supplies they
do not advertise in the newspapers for
bids. They or their representative go
into the market, find out the lowest
prices they can get goods for and buy
them at those prices, Because they do
not advertise publicly, they have been
criticised by some persons, who think,
perhaps, that the system in use at the
county hospital and the State hospital,
where bids are received periodically in
response to advertisements, is better
one than that pursued by the work
house trustees.
With reference to this matter, Presi-
dent j. Newlin Gawthrop of the work
house board, and j. Frank Ball, its
secretary, were seen at Judge Balls
office.
Mr.. Ball explained the trustees
method of securing estimates from
various dealers for the desired articles.
They do not buy groceries, for instance,
in small quantities from retail dealers,
but secure such supplies from the
wholesale men at the low rate. Before
they buy coal, they secure figures from
two or three ccal men. Two millers
are both working energetically to
supply the institution with -four, and
hence, the trustees are able to buy
-four at low rate. By their process
Of Watching for the lowest prices, the
trustees have been able to secure trees
for 10 cents, which one florist asked
- for.
Everything that is sold to the in
stitution by weight is weighed when it
reaches there and must conform TO the
item on the bill before approval is
given. Every bill is compared with tho
goods received to see that the county
is getting what it pays for.
When the trustees came to consider
the question Of supplies, they had in
mind the method of periodical bidding
used at Farnhurst and they believed it
was bad. They understood that bidders
for groceries, for instance, who we're
acquainted with the quantities used,
would bid low prices on articles rarely
used, and would raise the figures on
those largely used. The general figures
would seem very low, yet the contract
would really prove Improbable.
At the workhouse, by the method
pursued, the trustees are now feeding
the prisoners at cost of 1-3 cents
per day per prisoner. They doubt
whether method can be devised to
cut that figure down materially, and
because meat is SO high, they see Il
likelihood that the cost may be some
what increased in the future.
