night lost his title to Hacken-
schmidt, the far-famed Russian Lion,

Ordeman made a brilliant showing,
one that forced the thousands of
fans who saw the match to the con
clusion that the touted mat giant
would be pie" for Frank Gotch
when the latter returns from his
honeymoon and again essays to
garner honors in the wrestling
game. The first fall came at the
end OF two hours thirty-seven and
one-half minutes. when, with a
crotch-and-body hold. the Minneapo
lis man succumbed. Throughout the
entire time the Lion appeared to
have little in the way of skill. His
huge bulk was all that stood in his
favor.
When Captain Frank Whittemore
patted his shoulders announcing the
first fall was his it looked more
like "A defeat than victory. Baited
the huge bear came on the mat q
few minutes later. He rushed his
opponent, hurled him to the floor
and with surprising agility snapped
on second crotch-and-body hold
pinning his opponents shoulders t

PRAISE FOR SENATOR CLAPp
There Is No Taint in Connection
With His Success.

WIN fiIS StSSeSo,
st. Paul Pioneer Press: Tnerc will
be no occasion to investigate Sena-
tor Clapp's title to his seat in the
senate. There is no danger that he
will furnish another LOrimer case. In
fact, they might almost as we'll have
made it unanimous-162 out of 1873
leaves only few scattering votes
conferred as personal favors. Half of
the democrats voted for the senator,
the other half indulging in empty
compliments to political favorites.
The senator has reason to be
proud of this expression of his state
with regard to his record and per-
fCrmance in the senate. 1t is all
that he could ask for, and more, in
these days of partisan politics, than
he had a right to expect
Senator Clapp is an insurgent. His
reelection without opposition is one
OF the strongest evidences of the
power and extent of insurgency senti-
ment in this state. The congression-
al elections afforded nothing like it,
Whether there is in the state more
OF insurgency sentiment at the pres.
ent time than there was on the 1st
of November, it would be difficult to
say. but possibly some new zeal in
that direction has been developed by
the recent insurgent convention.
AT all events, Senator Clapp has
not been called upon to explain or
justify his political action, but re
turns to his work in Washington en-
cOuraged rather than otherwise tC
maintain the attitude of independ
ence which he has exhibited in re

STORM WAKE
Lightning Bolts Rip Off Trees
and Put Phones Out Of
Service
NEWARK BARN Is
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Following a day Of unusually high
temperature, Wilmington and the
neighborhood was visited by a series
of severe electrical storms last even
ing and early this morning, and trees
were uprooted, wires were twisted
from their fastenings and lightning
cut loose. The storm belt extended
from Chester to Newark, and COM
munication by telephone with Newark
and the surrounding country was cut
off part of today. The Bell Telephone
Company was a heavy sufferer. and
they had large force Of men at work
today repairing damage.
While the storm was severe all over
the city, some sections had little II
any wind, while in other sections a
regular hurricane was blowing. This
was also true in the county. At
Roselle large porch rockers were lift
ed from the porches and carried sew
eral hundred yards by the wind
At Second and Jackson streets a
row of trees was uprooted, blocking
the street. At Second and Van Buren,
streets a maple tree was torn from its
roots and fell across the wire of the
Peoples Railway Company, blocking
the line. Wires were reported down
all over the city, and many trees were
damaged. At Seventh and Monroe
streets a tree struck the roof of the
house occupied by Daniel Delfino in
its fall, but no damage was done
For a while during the storm some
thought the Jackson and Sharp plant
was afire, as residents on the west
side of the city sa-' a brilliant glare.
This proved to be a barn on fire at
Pennsgrove. The members Of the
Phoenix Fire Company thought the
fire alarm service was damaged, and
called the police station. as they
thought the fire was in East Seventh
street.
The wind was very strong at Fourth
and Pine streets and also at the play
grounds at Church street. AT these
places small trees were chopped off
by the storm as if they were pipe
stems.
Tho wires at DUPONT street near
Tenth street suspended n large tree
there FOR awhile, before It fell, and a
brilliant display of vari-colored fire
was seen. Residents OF tho sector
asked the police TO send the city line
