There seems to be a wave Of murder
sweeping over New York. Almost every
day develops some new sensation. There is
Patrick on trial for the murder Of Rice;
Florence Burns, a young girl, under arrest
for the murder of her lover, and John
Voepel, q boy Of II years, under arrest
On the charge of numbering his mother,
one Of the most revolving Of crimes. Sat-
urday added two new murders. Maude
Gentle was found dead with a bullet wound
In her temple In a Forty-second street
hotel. The man who had gone to the room
with her, and who Is missing, had been
heard to threaten her. The other murder
was that Of John F. Slower, a painter, who
was shot by his wife because of his alleged
cruel treatment of her. The murder of
Brooks, OF which the Burns girl Is accused,
evidently suggested this murder to Mrs.
Slower. who shot her husband while he was
asleep In bed. She accused him OF wasting
on others the money she received from
relatives In Philadelphia, and from a letter
found in her room 1t is clear that she hrst
contemplated suicide instead Of murder.
Rarely have there been so many serious
crimes committed in New York City in so
short q space OF time

ROUND ABOUT NEW York.
RippIes ON the Current of Life in the
Metropolis.


A few weeks ago all the world that
loves a lover throbbed with admiration for
the courage Of Fannie Payne McComb, a
New York heiress, who, 1t was claimed.
tossed the millions Of her late lamented
pa and his will to the winds and welded the
man Of her choice. When old McComb died
a year ago he left a pot OF Sic. 900, 900, to
be divided among four children, but having
a dislike for Fannie's steady company,
Louis Herzog, he inserted a codlcil directing
that in case of her marriage to Herzog
her share Of the estate be limited to a
measly handout OF SIS, 900 a year. Miss
Fannie spurned the old mans restriction,
married the man Of her choice and was
hailed as the brsvest bride that ever
pledged loyalty at the altar. But things
are not always as they seem. Now comes
Mrs. Fannie Payne McComb Herzog with
a petition to set aside the codicil, and the
problem goes up to the New York supreme
court for settlement.

Yesterday the temperature ranged
about the. top mark for the greater
part Of the day and at 2 o'clock had
reached IS degrees. AS the afternoon
progressed there was very little relief
to be found from the excessive heat.
Towards evening the western sky be-
gan to grow cloudy and about dark
there could be seen several large
black clouds scattered along thewest-
ern horizon. There was very little
heed given to this, however, except
perhaps by those, who are easily
frightened by the approach of any
signs of a storm. About o'clock the
approaching storm was first noticed
by the greater part Of the city when
the wind began to blow and as the
minutes sped by seemed to gather in
force until within short time
the atmosphere in Ottumwa was in a
state of violent connection
War of the Elements.
q Trees were ,swayed violently by the
mighty force of the wind and many of
the buildings not of particularly
strong construction were considerably
shaken. The dust on the streets was
picked up and hurled along in one
great cloud binding the sight of the
wayfarer who CHANGED to be upon the
street at that hour. The sky was
pierced with the sharp and violent
flashes of lightning and during these
short periods of light could be'seen the
falling limbs of trees as they were
torn loose and hurled to the ground.
For short few minutes rain came
down in huge drops, but the fury, of
the storm was spent in the violent
wind. Within the first few minutes of
the hurricane the temperature, which
had seemed to ibe almost unbearable,
took a sudden. drop of about twenty
degrees and about. o'clock registered
sixty-seyen degrees. II,

Blow Tuesday Night.
MUCH DAMAGE is DONE

Looked Like Twister for Awhile.

[From Wednesdays Daily.J
With barns and outhouses blown
over and doubled UP and the streets
and yards of the residence portion of
Ottumwa strewn with branches off the
trees, this city presented a somewhat
disheveled appearance this morning as
the result of the severe wind storm
that struck the city last evening. Re-
ports have been received during the
entire day and though the greater ma
jority are of more or less insignifi-
canoe, it is probable that the damage
done in Ottumwa by the storm last
evening will amount to a considerable
sum. Scarcely part of the city but
bears the marks of the gale and in
nearly every locality the people are
being kept busy today clearing away
the tree limbs and other debris that
has been piled up promiscuously
throughout the different parts of the

HON. I. 7. MADDEN

"On the steamer bound for Calves

CAMP SITE DECIDED.
Fiftieth Regiment Iowa National Guard
...... Goes 10 Qskaloosa.

.y4s Goes 10 Oskaloosa.
Oskaloosa, June 10 Especial, D
The Fiftieth regiment, Iowa National
Guard, will go into camp in this, city
the first week in August. Adjutant
General Byers was in Oskaloosa this
morning and after investigating the
matter made the above announce
ment General Byers stated that this
arrangement. has been made owing to
the fact that Oskaloosa has better
railroad accommodations for the com
panies of the Fiftieth than any other
city and can be easily reached by the
organizations at Muscatine, Ottumwa,
Abba and other places.
1t is stated that ,Oskaloosa was de-
sirous of having the camp ofythe Fifty
first regiment, but owing to the fact
that the remainder of the companies
of that regiment are all in the west
ern part of the state it, was not
thought to be expedient to have have
that organization camp in this city.
1t is also stated that having the camp
of the Fiftieth regiment in this city
will be of great benefit to. the mem
bers of Company F as it will give
them an opportunity to visit the camp.

Effects Of the storm.

From all reports received today the
heaviest wind seemed to strike in
South Ottumwa and though several
buildings were overturned there has
been no casualties reported. A large
barn on the property belonging to
James Sullivan, on the corner oof West
Vine street and Sheridan avenue, was
overturned by the violence of the wind
and somewhat torn to pieces. At 20
North Weller street, the home of
George Pickett, the coal shed was
picked up by the wind and set down a
few feet from the foundation. 1t is
also reported that the chicken house
was overturned and the sides caved
in cooping UP the chickens, though
none of them were injured.
Trees and large branches from the
trees are scattered about the streets
of the South Side. On the lots on
Church street between Myrtle and
Weller streets a large show tent which.
was being put up, was torn down by
the wind and this morning only a part
of the side walls remained standing.

In North ottumwa.

Throughout the north part of the
city the track of the storm can be cas-
lily followed by the broken and disfig-
ured trees and the debris that is scat
tered almost everywhere.
On West Woodland avenue, the
home of w. H. Heating was. struck by
the lightning and one of the chimneys
torn down, the other damage being
slight.
At the postoffice signs of the storm
could be seen this morning as the
tree that had stood on the corner Of

about ten feet above the ground. In

could be seen

In East ottumwa.

Judging from the effects of the
storm to be seen today in the east part
of Ottumwa, the wind did not blow
with as great violence as it did in 9TH
er parts of the city. A few fallen
trees only mark the course of the
storm.

Reports received from outside of the
city today indicate that the storm
struck with greater violence northwest
of ottumwa than any place in the
city. Last evening the dark heavy
clouds could be seen moving in a

around Ottumwa. $50

drops damaged.
Although the reports from the farm,
ers have thus far been quite meager,
yet it is believed by those who are
cognizant with the conditions that pre-
vail in the country, that the crops have
been quite badly damaged by the
heavy winds of last evening. The
majority of the oats have already
reached a very advanced stage in
their growth and many fields were be-
ginning to head out. 1t is stated that
the oats this season have made a
much ranker growth than for a num-
Der of years and that they were just
at the stage where a heavy wind, as
was experienced last evening, would
put them down to great extent
E Another Storm.
About midnight Ottumwa was Wis
tied by another storm of wind, rain
and lightning, of much less violence
than the one early in the evening.
From all reports that have been re-
ceived very little damage was done by
the latter blow.
Uneasy Yesterday.
AS evening approached yesterday
there was a general feeling among the
people of Ottumwa that something
would happen within q few hours.
