DESTROYED.

Racine, Wis, July 25.-With roar
that was heard five miles, a cyclone
struck the northern rim of Racine
county yesterday, killing two men and
damaging property and crops 100000.
The cyclone came from the south
west, and at its first dip struck the
large barn of Adolph Moisner, which
40" torn to pieces, the debris, with
and farm machinery, being
ALTERED 200 feet. Trees were up
rooted and fences blown away, the
damage on this farm alone amounting
to $4,000. In every quarter
Grain Is Ruined,
but no other buildings were destroyed.
For miles trees can be seen uprooted
and fences down.

man whose name was not known, was
struck and killed. Coroner Hoyt was
sent for to hold an inquest. Near

farmer, was picked up by the storm

Of the explosion spread rapidly. Every
physician who could be reached was
carried to the water front, and within
a comparatively short time nearly .
dozen doctors were on the scene at
tending to the wounded. A dozen or
fifteen persons were blown overheard
by the force of the explosion. Capt.
Wentworth said he saw human bodies
hurled more than $50 feet upward.
The air was black with smoke that
EnveIoped the Ship.
When 1t cleared away only few men
could be seen on the ship while many
were floundering in the water. A boat
was lowered from the vessels side and
most Of them were picked up.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife beyond conception. Human bodies
were hurled into the air to height
probably not less than 200 feet.
Most of the men on board were as
ers when the explosion occurred. Here
is where the most frightful slaughter
took place. No one living has been
able to describe what happened there,
but vivid witnesses exist in the blood
smeared walls. 1t is from between
decks that most of the dead bodies
have been taken.
Awful Sight Meets Gaze.
A most awful sight awaited those
who fastened to the Inflated ship.
EVERYWHERE was blood. and in all d.
rections were bodies. The after cabin
was smeared with blood and the walls,
ceiling and floors spotted with red. In
the depths below. from which heat and
steam rolled in volumes too great to
face, came the grosns and walls OF the
dying and the shrieks of the wounded.
The explosion is believed to have
been in a boiler which for many
months has been regarded as weak, al
though an inspection a month ago re-
suited in favorable report.

"CriminaI Practices"
The announcement that the grand
jury would meet TO consider the sub
ject was made in a statement issued
by United States District Attorney
Morgan H. Beach
To-day's meeting is in pursuance of
a call issued by the district attorney
July 20, and is to consider among 9TH
er things certain criminal practices
alleged to exist and to have existed in
one of the executive departments
Mr.. Beach absolutely declined to ad-
NIT which one of the DEPARTMENTS this
statement had reference 70, but it is
known that it relates 10 the depart
ment Of agriculture.
Mustn't Ask Questions.
Pending action By that body it is
earnestly hoped, as il is confidently
believed, that no inquiries will be
made of the district attorneys Office
upon the subject. To inquire of any
member of the grand jury or of a wit
ness. either under subpoena or after
discharge, as to anything transpiring
before that body constitutes coHtempt.
This general statement is made to
excuse the district attorney from per-
sonal interviews with gentlemen of
the press. They have always shown
this office the greatest consideration
and preserved his confidence inviola-
bly, But the very limited time and
force at his disposal render this
course imperative, and no further
statement will be made until the
grand jury announces in open court
the result Of its investigation.
Wait for Report.
There may be much, or little, or
nothing, to report, but while the ex.
animation is pending. il must, as the
law commands, be entirely secret"
Samuel {. Smoot, merchant. is
foreman of the grand jury.
