 low Wind.

St. Louis, Aug. B--A wind and rain storm of brief duration swept over St. Louis today. and tore, through the Worid's Fair grounds killing Theodore Richter, a florist, probably fatally inJuring A. R.. Clark, carpenter, and severely hurting seven laborers, besides causing damage to worlds Fair buildings and other property .to the extent of Sio.ooO. The greatest fury of the storm was felt at the Worlds Fair grounds.
 The day had been extremely warm. the temperature registering 94 degrees. Sud- denly the sky began growing dark and soon the storm broke, with the force Of a Rale In the city pedestrians hurried to shelter and the wind swept through the streets, but caused little damage outside of breaking windows here and there. the falling of few street signs and the ievel- ing of shade trees. {.
 At the Worlds Fair grounds the wind was a miniature tornado. The agricul- tural building stood in it's, path and six laborers working on scaffoiding were hurled to the ground and nine sets of frusses and tfmbers were seized.
 Richter was running to shelter when he was. struck by flying plank, dying instantly. The wind next struck the Machinery building and one of the two towers. 3e0 feet high, was stripped of scaffolding in twinkiing, and two work men were hurled to the ground. Debris was blown against the stan covering sides of the Electricity building and sections of the staff were torn away.
 The Missouri State building was dam aged slightly.
 On the Administration building tow CTS, situated forty feet apart. are two flags. As the wind reached this building 1t lifted and passed between the towers.
 One flag blew to the east and the other to the west. and yet neither was displac- ed or injured.
 Along Sixinher Road, which passes through the Worlds. Fair grounds, tweh- ty telegraph poles heavily strung with wires. snapped and fell across the street car tracks. The wind was followed by a terrific rain and hail. The tempera- ture dropped within ten minutes from 9l to 68 degrees.

MACHEN IS CONFIDENT
THINKs HE WILL CoNFOuND
 THE GOVERNMENT.
Former Superintendent of Rural Rrss Delivery Says He is Going to
 Take Rest-Bristawss
 Latest, Talk.

Washington, Aug. S--(Special.) .)-Not- withstanding he Is the most criminaiiy indicted man who has had connection with the government, former Rural Free Delivery Superintendent A. W. Machen Is far more cheerful than any ofiacer of the Postoface Department against whom |a Grand Jury has not found. He looked like a confident man of business to-day as he remarked he was going away for two weeks of rest. He appears actually sanguine of getting the best of the gov ernment in his cases.
 Referring to a statement that he had 900 in bank the day he was arrested. he displayed a bank book which showed a balance to his credit of only sis and some cents. and said that was his cash capital at the time.
 Bristow has at last again turned the Investigating artillery upon the iniqui- tous works of the office of the Attorney General for the Postofiace Department. Although this, was the first quarter in the department which drew the fire of the reformers. 1t is the last really in- ouired into. Each time Bristow and his band of inspectors have got ready to in- vestigate this office rascaiity of more alarming kind was exposed elsewhere. Now the inspectors have about come around to the place held lately by James W. Tyner, and win deive to the tssttom. going at the job expectant of gravely im- portant results.
 Harrison J. Barrett, a nephew of the former, Attorney General. having served in his offlce, appeared as counsel before 1t for numerous concerns since alleged to be reelIing with fraud. It Is said he will be summoned before Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General Bristow and sub- 3ected to a rigid examination.
