If the Cuban insurrectionists had

County.— Devastation in its Pathway—A Town
Demolished and a Clean Sweep Made for Miles.
Communication With the Scene of the Storm is
Almost Entirely Cut Off and Details are Diffi-
cult to Obtain :
Sioux City, Iowa, May 3.—Dis-
patches were received here by the Sioux
City and Northern Railroad Company
this evening from their agent at Sioux
Centre, forty-five miles north of here,
telling of a terrible cyclone near there
in which many people were killed and
injured and much property destroyed.
The wires where the storm was were
blown down and telegraph reports are
consequently very meagre.
blood into their sluggish veinsas would
have made General Campos and his
bankrapt monarchy quake.
Hon. Pain. WoMELSDORRF, the mem-
ber from Centre, was on his feet Mon-
day night and was recognized as £00n
as the speaker WavLtoN had called the
Houseto order. After along preamble
he commenced reading resolutions of
sympathy tor the revolting Cubans,
but alas, before he had finished, Mr,
BorLes, of Philadelphia, otjected and
“Tittle PIL” was vanquished.
It wae thoughtful in him to prepare
those resolutions, his Centre coun-
ty constituency is very much inter-
ested in the matter and that is just
what he was sent to Harrisburg to do.
Bat the unfair part of it is the way the
city members stand in the way of any”
thing being done for us tellows up the
State. Now we want it distinctly un-
derstood that should our Mr. WoMELS-
DORRF take it into his head to get up
resolutions of sympathy for Nicaragua,
because she will have to indemnify Gt.
Britain, or resolutions of condolence
for the State Treasurer, because he has
had to submit to such persistent legis-
lative robbery, we will tolerate no
more cold water throwing on the part
of those Philadelphians.

The End of a Disgraceful Affair.
The end of the long draws out and
disgraceful judicial contest in the In-
diana district has been witnessed with
a sigh of relief by the people of this
State.
While there had always been
ground for the suspicion that the
judiciary was degenerating it remained
for the evidence developed in the
WaITE-BLAIR contest to confirm it.
The methods that both of the candi-
dates resorted to were fairly startling
in their corruption. The judicial er-
mine was trailed through the muck of
political chicanery, and whiskey and
money both figured in the purchase of
votes.
It has always been the custom of
candidates to put themselves “in the
hands of their friends,” but such flimsy
deception goes but a little way toward
deceiving the people. Such a pretext
for excuse only heightens the culpabili-
ty of candidates, since any of the dirty
work done by their henchmen is done
with their knowledge and sanction.
The WHITE-BLAIR contest has been
0 notorious for the filth that it has un-
covered that it will indeed be strange
if the people have not lost much of the
reverence for the judiciary that should
have existed before this case betrayed
its deception.

—— If our forefathers could be com-
municated with it would greatly sur-
prise them to be told that the silver
dollars that supplied the basis of their
currency, and in which they had im
plicit confidence as a circulating me-
dium, were dishonest money. It requir-
ed the wiedom of a later generation of
monetists to discover that the ‘dollars
of the daddies” were not a sound
currency.
——About a year ago Hon. Bex-
JAMIN Harrison remarked that busi.
ness was at ‘the bottom of the vat.”
It isn’t out of place at this time to call
Mr. Harrison's attention to the fact
that such an improvement in business
conditions is in progress under a
Democratic tariff that the top of the
vat will epon be reached.

| The first dispatch received by the
| Northern Road said the cyclone passed
| three miles northeast of there at 3.50
| p. m. A school house near town was
| destroyed, the teachers killed and a
{ number of children killed and injured,
| the exact number or the namesit is
| impossible to ascertain. The whole
| country in the path of the storm is dev-
| astated. Sioux City and Northern
tracks between Perkins and Boone are
| washed oat tor several miles.
| Dispatches from Sioux Centre at 8:30
p. m. say that three school houses and
at least twenty residences and barns
were swept away. At the school
houses two teachers and three pupils
were killed and many injured. Two
women were found dead about 6 o'clock
not far from the point where one of
the schoo! buildings stood. One man
who arrived in Sioux Centre late in the
evening reported his house was blown
away and his family killed. He him-
gelf escaped and reports that at least
two or three hundred people must have
been killed.
A TOWN SWEPT AWAY.
Parties have been eent out from
Hull, Sioux Centre and Orange City,
neighboring towns, but their work is
being carried on in total darkness in
the midst of tremendous wind and rain
storm. It is consequently progressing
slowly. A number of bodies have al-
ready been recovered, although the ex-
act number cannot be learned. It is
said that Perkins, a small town be-
tween Sioux Centre and Boone, was di-
rectly in the path of the storm and that
it is almost entirely wiped out. The
wires leading to it are all down.
The railroad tracks are washed out
and the wagon roads cannot be eafely
traveled owing to the manaer in which
they were gullied by the rain. It is
consequently no easy matter to reach

Physicians have already set out from
Hull, Orange City and Sioux Centre,
but are finding every conceivable ob-
stacle in their effort to reach the scene
of the storm. Help has been refused
from here, but if the same character of
reports continue to come in, a train
may be sent out. No one seems to
know exactly what was the track of
the storm.
THE DEATH ROLL INCREASING.
A later dispatch from the scene of
the storm says that definite reports are
beginning to come in as to the path fol-
lowed by the cyclone. The storm
originated about a mile and a half
southwest of Sioux Centre. It moved
from there in a northeasterly direction
and passed directly through Perkins,
a small town six miles north of Sioux
Centre. After passing nothing was
heard of any damage. Late this even-
ing, however, news was received from
Sibley to the effect that a storm struck
there about 6 p. m. destroying the
house of Joe Watterson, killing Mrs.
Watterson and injuring Watterson and
his son. No names can yet be learned
of the people injured about Sioux Cen-
tre and Perkins,
The Sioux City and Northern train,
which arrived at 10 o’clock this even-
ing, brought in several passengers who
witnessed the storm. They reported 13
dead bodies had been brought into
Sioux Centre at 6 o'clock. They esti-
mated fifty people must have been
killed.
The deaths were all in the vicinity
of Sioux Centre. The names of a few
injured near Sibley, where considerable
damage was done by the storm are
known. Besides John Watterson who
was killed by flying timbers, Herman
Belknap, a farmer near Sibley, was
killed by lightuing and Mrs. Fry and
750 Roseberg brothers were badly
urt.
Squire McNamara Suicides.
HourzpaLE, Pa., May 6.—Sqguire
Robert McNamara, of this place, was
found lying dead on the floor of his
office at 9:30 this morning, by S. Me.
Fadden. He had committed suicide,
having placed the muzzle of a revolver
in his mouth and discharged the
weapon, the ball coming out at the
top of his head. The equire had been
last seen alive on Friday evening and
he probably suicided that night or
Saturday morning. He had been
drinking very hard of late and this was
probably the cause of his terrible deed.
McNamara was about 70 years of age
and is survived by a wife and seven
adult children.

Big Failure in Minnesota.
Sr. Croup, Minn.,, May 5.—N. P.
Clark & Co.'s assigrment papers, which
were filed five minutes before the
clerk’s office closed last evening, are
the sensation of the hours here. The
liabilities will probably reach $1,000,-
000. The value of the assets given at
$1,250,000 is problematical. The place
of business of the firm is in Minneapo-
lis, where it has mille. It has until
lately been regarded as one of the
wealthiest in the state. Mr. Clark
was the owner of the finest stud of
Clydesdale horses in the world, and is
known to the blooded stock dealers all
over the country. His horses have
now been mortgaged to secure large
depositors in the bank.
Over One Hundred Dead in a Cyclone. |
Swept Away, Residences and Other Buildings |
The New Tariff Revenues.
| Customs Receipts Greater Than Under the Mec.
i Kinley Law.
| semen,
| WasmiNgTON, May 8.-— Although
| the revenues of the goverment continue |
ito fall short of meeting the expendi-
| tures, it is gratifying to note that the
Wilson bill, as a revenue producer, is
‘making good the predictions of its
! friends. This is demonstrated by the
| receipts from customs duties reported
by the treasury department. These
customs receipts for the current fiscal
year up to Monday, May 6, were in
the aggregate about $130,500,000.
Nearly tvo months of the fiscal yea
still remain, so that the Wilson bill, |
during its first year’s operations, will
yield in customs revenues over 3140,
000,000.
During the last fiscal year, in which |
the McKinley law waa in force, from
July 1, 1893, to June 30, 1894, the to-
tal receipts from customs duties were
$131,000,000, at least $10,000,000
short of what the Wilson law will
yield this year. From this it is clear
that under normal conditions of busi-
ness activity the Wilson act will yield
ample revenue.
Had it not been for the long delay
in Congress in passing the bill, which
delay gave the sugar trust all the time
it wanted to import free of duty under
the McKinley act all the raw suger it
could lay its hands on throughout the
world, the customs receipts under the
Wilson act would have been swelled
several millions from the tax it im-
poses on raw sugar.
The volume of foreign commerce will
undoubtedly be heavily increased in
the next fiscal year, and the receipts
from custom duties under the Wilson
act will undoubtedly go 15 or 20 mil:
lions beyond this year’s figures.

Japan Averts War.
She Cedes All Claim to the Feng Tien Territory
in Deference to the Wishes of Russia, France
and Germany.
St. Petersburg, May 6.—The “Jour-
nal de St. Petersburg,” semi-official,
says Japan, in conformity with the
Germany, will renounce her claim to
the Feng Tien territory.
Sone Arasuke, Japanese minister to
France, has informed M. Hantotaux,
French minister of foreign affairs, that
Japan had renounced her claim to the
Liao Tung penineular, including Port
Arthur.
Washington, May 6.—Official infor-
mation has been received that the Chi-
nese emperor signed the treaty without
modification on Thursday last. China
and Japan having been the sole partic-
ipants in the war, they claim that in-
ternational usage accords them the
sole right of setting between them-
selves the points of difference, and that
the precedents of centuries would be
violated if other nations not parties to
the conflict were permitted to decide
in what way the rewards of victory
should be bestowed. This is stated to
be the gist of Japan’s answer to Russia
while at the same time the auswer
suggests that the Japanese government
will be willing to negotiate with Rus-
sia to carry out any reasonable re
quests of that empire.

The Tax Decision to Stand.
Inferred that Justice Jackson Will Support the
Majority Decision of the Supreme Court in the
Income Cases.
WasHINGTON, May 5.—Justice Jack-
gon, of the United States Supreme
Court, arrived here to-day to hear the
re-argument of the income tax cases.
The whole case will be gone into.
Judge Jackson expects to be here
only about a week, probably less. From
this fact it is inferred that the re-argu-
ment of the case will result in no varia-
tion of the decree rendered by the
court last month.

Flames Cause a Loss of $125,000 at Glen Hazel
—A Mill, Lumber, Cars and Dwelling Burned.
Ripeway, Pa., May 5.—A forest fire
was discovered in the vicinity of Glen

The Death of James Young.
Col. James Young who is well known
throughout the State and country as the
! «Farmer King of Pennsylvania,” died
at his residence in Middletown on last
Saturday morning. Colonel Young on
Thursday last purchased a young horse
ata sale and was driving rapidly through
. one of the streets in Middletown. In
turning out to avoid an approaching
team the wheel of his wagon caught in
a rut in the road, swerving it around so
quickly that he was thrown out. He
struck first on the wheel and then drop-
ped over to the ground on his head. He
was picked up unconscious, taken to his
home and Dr. Bowers, his family physi-
cian, hastily summoned. It was found
on examination that his internal injuries
were of a very serious character and that
his left side was completely paralyzed
from the injury to his head. He rallied
and some hopes were then entertained of
his recovery, but during the night a
change for the worse set in, which end-
ed in his death. His three children were
present at his bedside when he passed
away.
James Young was born at Swatara
Hill, near Middletown, July 25, 1820.
He was a willing, shrewd and ambitious
boy, and always helped about his fath-
ers country hotel during his vacations.
With his first hundred dollars he pur-
chased a stage route, after which he
successively and successfully run a ca-
nal boat, lumber and coal business, lime
stone quarries, and the largest and most
beautiful farms in Pennsylvania. His
thirteen farms include upwards of three
thousand acres, all under the highest
cultivation with picturesque and well
kept buildings and fences. In the fi-
nancial circles Col. Young was regard-
ed as a man of sound judgment and
strictest probity. While he carefully
guarded his large interests, he was a
man of a generous heart, public spirited,
freely aiding the deserving and never
withholding liberal support from promi-
nent enterprises.
Gov. Hastings, ex-Gov. Pattison,
Chief Justice Paxson and many dis-
tinguished men attended his funeral on
Tuesday afternoon which was held from
the old Young mansion in Middletown.

More Armenian OQutrages.
Gladstone Says That Turkey is Benton its Own
Ruin.
LoxDoN, May 7.—At a meeting held
at St. James hall this evening, the
Duke of Argyll presiding, to protest
against the Armenian outrages, 8 letter
from Gladstone to the duke was read.
In it Mr. Gladstone expresses his hope
for the meeting’s success, and declared
Turkey appeared determined to do
everything for its own ruin. Europe
should not trust to words, but take
steps to prevent a recurrence of the out-
rages. England will not shrink, and
she will have the help of France and
Russia, said Mr. Gladstone.
The Daily News to-day published ad-
vices received from its correspondent at
Kars, saying that 800 of the survivors
of the recent massacre in Armenia, who
returned to their homes under promise
of protection from the Turks, are being
daily persecuted and tortured at the
hands of the Turkish officials, support-
ed by gendarmes. For two months, it
is added, the officials have tried to
force the refugees to sign an address of
thanks to the sultan, stating that they
have met with only kindness at the
bands of the troops and that all the
troubles were caused by the Kurdish
raiders. Those refusing to sign the ad-
dress are beaten, placed in chains and
are suspended for hours by their feet.
Women were abused, children shame-
fully treated, and the soldiers forced
women and girls to sign the address.
Difficulty in Getting News.
All Correspondence Revised by the Spanish
Authorities and Many Facts Withheld,
JacksoNviLLE, Fra, May 5.—A
cablegram to the Times Union from
Key West, Fla, says: “There is
great difficulty in getting news to the
public. All correspondence is revised
by the Spanish authorities and many
facts are withheld. The Spanish gov-
ernment finds great difficulty in getting
provisions, etc., to troops at Bayamo.
All the fortifications around Manza-
nillo have been destroyed by the insur-
gents. The provinceis virtually in
their hands.
“The battle of Ramon Jaguas on
the 19th of April, according to an eye
witness, was terrible. The Spanish
troops were almost annihilated. The
battle lasted nearly three hours. The
insurgents lost fifty men. The be-
lief is general that the revolutionists
will be greatly strengthened. Two
bands of 500 in the province of Santa
Clara have joined the insurgents.”

to-day long before the hour fixed for
the opening of the drawing room. The
third daughter of the Duke and Duch-
ess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Princess Al-

Last Friday the Dickinson college
base ball team played State, on Beaver

were defeated by the score of 7 to 4.
Williams, the visiting pitcher, is a fine

same masterful style that Nesbit was
backed up by the blue and white, the
