Its dura tion was brief, bat its fury was awfuL To night scores of homes that were cheer ful, bright and happy before dusk are turned into houses of mourning. Not alone did this city suffer. Appalling reports are coming in from neighboring towns and Tillages, and the death list Crows larger every honr. How many victims the Storm King claimed cannot now be es timated, bnt it is probable that at least 30 persons perished. The destruction of prop erty was also terrible. Terrible Fnry of the Storm. The storm came np about 6 o'clock. A dense clond of inky blackness came swiftly np the river, pushed by a terrific wind. The darkness of night fell suddenly upon the city, and terror seized the hearts of brave men and women. Trees crashed to the earth, houses were unroofed and the air was filled with the firing debris. The Triad was fol lowed "1y a heavy rain, which thoroughly drenched' the property which the hurricane had uncovered. Large districts, in several sections of the city, are absolutely in ruin, and the women and children are in the streets crying and wringing their hands in absolute dismay. The damage will reach hundreds of thou sands of dollars. The Awful Devastation. Passenger trains and locomotives at the depot were blown over, and every wire in the city electric light, telephone and tele graph is down. The devastation is to be compared with nothing in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Everybody is rejoicing that no fires have as yet followed, for the streets are impassable with trees and fallen buildings and the engines conld not be drawn through them. The total death loss, so far as ascertained, is 12. Four men are known to be killed in the Hazard wire rope works. A house on Scott street, occnpied by miners, fell in and three of the inmates were killed. The huge stack of the Kyle planing mill fell on a man and two horses and all were killed.

Two men suffered death by the falling of a por tion of Stegmaier's brewery, and a third incurred the same fate through the almost complete demolition of B. X. Brown's hand some bnck business block on East Market street. There are undoubtedly 15 or 16 others killed. Beports are coming in con stantly to that effect. Many poor people have suffered heavy losses, and it will be months before all the damage can be repaired. One hundred tin roofers have been telegraphed for and build ing mechanics of all kinds can find employ ment here for weeks to come, as it is already known that fully 200 buildings have been blown down or otherwised damaged. Many of the structures were of large size and great value. Some of the Froperlv Loiicl Approximate losses only ban be given as follows: Hazard "Wire Hope Works, 25, 000; S. L.

TXX.XQHAJC TO Tint SISPATCH.1 Alb&ht, August 19. The Pinkertons were in part removed from the cars and railroad crossings, and everything was quiet about the yards. Several freight trains were sent out, but a report comes from Schenectady that all trains which have been sent ont from West Albany in the last three days have been side tracked there. The ex ception of this mode of operations is in re gard to the through freight trains and the refrigerator cars. William Gillespie, a tallyman at the transfer office, West Albany, was brutally assaulted late last night, by three strikers, within two doors ot his home. Gillespie refused to go out with the Knights. A clerk in the Train Dispatcher's office was also assaulted to-day, but not seriously in jured.

A MAMMOTH STRIKE IMPENDING As a Resale of 'Ahe Bricknukers Battle Against a Boycott. rsPECtu, tsxxorax to th disfatchJ New Toek, Angust 19. All men con nected with the building trades are feeling very glum over the prospects of a long and bitter brick war which may throw nearly 100,000 men ont of employment. The bad feeling was brought to the boiling point by the action of the brick mannfactnrers at their regular meeting at the Astor House on Monday. They then decided to withhold shipments of brick to all points included in the boycott instituted five weeks ago by the Board of Walking Delegates and Bnilding Trades. The tie-up on the part of the manufacturers will go into effect next Friday. "I think all the dealers will pull through," said Secretary Van Valen, of the Building Materials' Exchange, "though they will be putJp untold inconvenience. This is a 0i case. Should the Knights of Labor succeed in compelling the Verplanck Point manufacturers to hire only members of their organization, then they might turn their attention to Haver straw and other brick-making centers. Therefore the manufacturers who are not in the combination may preter to fight the boy cotters now rather than do it later on." The situation will be discussed by the Board of Walking Delegates ji their regular meeting to-morrow. A RECOUNT ORDERED.' Five Hundred Duplicates la the Censoi Re turns From Hunch Chunk. IVBOH X STATP COEEISPOHDKXT.I Washington, August 19. The first evidence of anything like iraud or incom petency in the taking of the census of Penn sylvania has just been discovered. It is in the one hundred and tenth enumeration dis trict of the fifth supervisors' district, being about one-half of the town of Mauch Chunk, Carbon county. The returns from this dis trict were found to be in such bad shape that thevwere sent to the geographer's division for a special examination. Then it was discovered, according to the report of the chier, Mr. Henry Gannett, that there were among the schedules sent in about 600 duplications, the same persons being counted over twice.

Upon this report a recount was ordered to-day. -SQUATTERS T0BE BOUNCED. OHIO AUTHORITIES WILL CALL OUT TROOPS IF NECESSARY. State Property Suddenly Acquires Value With tbe Discovery of Oil and Gas The Standard Baring TJp Leases Many Salts to be Instituted. rsrxcux. nuaux to thx dispatch. 1 Columbus, August 19. The State Canal Commission has instructed Attorney Gen eral Watson to institute suit at once against James & Pickton, manufacturers of furni ture specialties at Akron, to eject them from one and one-quarter acres of land occupied by their factory. This is but first of 56 suits which will be instituted by the State against manufacturing firms and business men in Akron, Troy, Massillon, Sidney and Piqua to recover lands which rightfully belong to the State. Since the discovery of oil and gas in Mer cer county there has been a general scramble to secure possession of property adjacent to the canal and belonging to the State. This property is among the most desirable gas Jiroperty in the Mercer county fields, several arge wells having already been success fully driven. The State owns thousands of acres of this property, and in recent years it has been in possession of citizens'. Since the oil and gas discoveries each acre had a dozen or more claimants. Within the past three weeks the State Canal Commission has re covered possession of 276 acres ot this gas land, and is rapidly making additional ones. The Standard Oil Company is leasing large areas of these recovered lands from the State. Senator Will Shaw, of Auglaize county, a representative of the Standard Company, has bean here for the past week carrying out the deal, and has succeeded, in securing large numbers of leases. Since the discovery of the deposits hundreds of little shanties have been erected upon it. Disap pointed claimants allege that the Standard Company is the instigator of this ejection, and that they will refuse to recognize the State's right to the laud. They are indig nant over the matter and say they will re fuse to acknowledge any decision of any court, and will only surrender their lauds by forcible ejectment. The State Canal Commission state that they will endeavor by all peaceful means to restore to the State its rightful property, but if need be will see that troops enforce the decision of the court LIGHTNING MATTERS TALKING.

The crowd which gathered to see the funeral procession was one of the largest ever seen. It was orderly in the extreme, and allowed nothing to mar the solemnity of the scene. Many of the people were visibly aflected, and all joined in ex pressions of regret for thedeath of the Cardi nal and of regard for bis memory. Tbe favored few who were admitted to the church were the principal dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church in England, who had gathered together to join in the last Bolemn functions connected with the career of the greatest of them all. The chnrch was crowded to its utmost capacity, every seat being" filled. The choir and chancel were thronged with the clergy and in the center was the choir. YELYET-COVEBED COFFIN. Besting on the catafalque was the coffin covered with its pall of purple velvet, on which was a white shield bearing the arms of the deceased cardinal and his motto, "Cor ad cor loquitur," displayed under it, while lying at the foot of the comn was the putple hat, one of the symbols of the cardinal's rank in the church. The mass was Gregorian, and no hymns were sung. The only special feature of the service was that there were five absolutions of the body, instead of one, as is usual. Precisely at 11 o'clock a procession of priests, monks and Fathers of the Oratory, with 17 Bishops in full vestments, entered the building and slowly moved along tbe center aisle, dividing on each side of the coffin and taking up their position in the choir and in the chancel.

Dovee Davis Dalton, the American back swimmer, was interviewed this after noon at his hotel by a Dispatch reporter. He said: "Alter the extraordinary exertion I underwent yesterday, I am feeling very weak. My eyes hurt intensely, and are so painful in the glare of the white light that I am obliged to wear blue spectacles, and I can scarcely open the lids. I do not recol lect what they did with me as soon as they got me here, for I had not then recovered consciousness. Shortly after I came to I was put into a hot bath, where I remained for 20 minutes and was then taken ont and wrapped in blankets. Then hot water bottles were put to my feet and mustard plasters freely applied io various parts of my body. I was attended by nearly a dozen doctors, who all examined me to determine what the exertion fend long exposure had caused. They found my general condition remarkably good, but they say my left lung is very weak from a hemorrhage. In cross ing the channel l)found that the tempera ture of the water changed about six times, and this made my passage very much more disagreeeable than it had anticipated. STOPPING PUBLIC HTPNOTISST.

THE DATE FIXED, WINDOW GLASS HOUSES TO RESUME OP ERATIONS ON SEPTEMBER 15. Manufacturers Meet In tbe Chicago Audito rium and Tote to Maintain tbe Present Card Rates An Assurance That tbe Glass Tariff Won't be Touched. SPECIAL TELZGEAH TO TBS DISPATCH.1 Chicago, August 19. A convention of Pittsburg and Western window glass manu facturers was held to-day at the Auditorium Building for the purpose of hearing reports of stocks on hand, of building operations and the condition of the market in various sections, and upon.tbe basis of the informa tion thereof obtained, fixing the time of which the factories shall begin fall work. Every Pittsburg factory was represented, the repre sentative in most instances being the head of the firm, and everj factory in Western Ohio, Indiana and Illinois was represented either by a delegate or by proxy, and a representa tive was present from the United Glass Com pany, controlling the factories in Central New York and Northern Pennsylvania. T. Hartjof Moring, Hart& Co., of Muncie. Ind., presided, and William Loeffler, of Pittsburg, acted as secretary. Mr. Loeffler says that the reports of stocks on hand showed that the amount of last year's product remaining unsold, while large, is about the same as last year, and the reports of building operations and probable demand for the coming year, showed that about 50 per cent more building has been projected, or is under way, than at this time last year, and that this is true of all sections of the country. There was considerable difference of opin ion among those present as to the proper time to begin work for the fall. Quite a number of the firms wanted September 1. Tbe United Glass Company wanted October 1, because they believed that to open at an earlier date would break the market and make it impossible to maintain the present scale of prices. Finally a compromise was made on September 15 as the day on which blowing shall begin. It was then decided by resolution that the present scale of prices should be continued without any deviation. No forfeits were put np and there is nothing to prevent any manufacturer from selling below the card rate if he wants to. Incidentally, daring the progress of the meeting the "tariff was mentioned. One gentleman stated that he bad been assured by certain members of the House that the Senate amendment of the MoKinley bill, by which tbe duty on window glass was reduced about one-eighth cent per poaud, woald not be concurred in by the House, and that the tariff would remain as it is.

While highly appreciating the spirit that prompted your honorable body to honor me, I am sorry indeed that a paramount duty to those wbo have placed confidence In me, duty to the principles of the Republican party, dnty to the general good of the Commonwealth and its people, compel ma to decline. As a lifelong Republican an da warm adherent to the principles of the Repub lican partv, I have made grave charges against tbe Republican nominee for Governor, and after months of silence he now denies them, as a whole, unequivocally. There are thousands of citizens all over the State, of all political shades, who believe I made those charges knowingly and honestly.

I should be lacking in my duty if I should, by any act of mine, jeopardize tbe election of Mr. Pattison. By placing myself in a position to be charged with being disgruntled by political disappointment or to be seeking seli-elevattoo, I would contribute to this very danger. My acceptance of a nomination for Congress at this time from any source, however lauaable. would Impair the force of my effort to defeat Delamater, wbo. In my opinion. Is a cor rupt man. I hope for the election of Mr. Pattison. not alone because I am fully con vinced that tbe Republican party, oncepurged of corrupt leadership, will be strengthened and elevated, but as well because, dnrjng his ad ministration, no charge of corruption conld be brought against him. He was strongly arrayed against every attempt of the corporations to usurp the rights ot the people, and wblle I was in tbe Senate during that administration of four years his petsonal honesty and official integrity were never assailable. For the reason herein cited I am compelled to decline the honor tendered me. Tbe one aim of my life in politics has been and now is to fortify the people in their supremacy against unwarranted encroachment upon tbelr rights by corporate power, and to assure to the in dividual absolute equality before the law In his relations with them.

He said, in effect, that while he had desired the nomination of Wallace, the logic of events had demanded the nomina tion ot Robert E. Pattison, whom he highly eulogized. Considerable confusion arose over the presentation of the name of W. A. Weiser, a barber of Beaver Falls, as candidate for Assembly. Attorney L. W. Beed charac terized Weiser's candidacy as a nuge joke, which assertion "riled" the latter, who asserted that an effort was being made to choke him off. Beed thereupon be came excited and denounced him at length, charging him with being a Democrat at Democratic conventions and a Bepublican at Republican conventions. "It's a hnge joke," said he. "Shall we en danger tbe success of the ticket with such a thing as that?" A poll of the delegates re sulted: Carothers, 114: Braden, 112, Weiser, 18. ' A roar of laughter and applause greeted Weiser when he presented his competitors with bis 18 votes and moved that the nomi nation be made "by acclamation." The fight of the day was made on the office of County1 Commissioner. The first poll of delegates resulted in the nomination of Thomas L. Darragh. Five additional bal lots were taken before a sufficiently large vote was secured by any of the other candi dates. On the sixth ballot Mengel received 135 votes, 12 more than were necessary to elect During the polls great confusion reigned and personal remarks were freely bandied abont A motion made by W. A. Mellon, Esq., that the Chair appoint a committee to form ulate rules for the government of the Coun ty Committee, particularly in the matter oi the time of choosing delegates to the State Convention, led to a rather acrimonious de bate. The presentcustom is to choose tbem in January, before candidates for State of fices are announced, the delegates thus go ing uninstructed. It is charged by the Pat tison men that this led to the selection by the Buchanan or Wallace faction ot Wal lace, delegates last January who did not rep resent the Democracy of this county. J. II. Buchanan opposed the motion, asserting "that a set of rules had been prepared 15 years ago which were still in existence. Mellon retorted that they must "exist in somebody's vest pocket as no one had ever seen tnem. The motion was carried, and the Chair was, at his own suggestion, given time to select the committee, which virtual ly killed the motion. The County Committee met immediately after the close of the convention and elected Robert Ritchie, of Woodlawn, Chairman for the ensuing year. Frank Wilson, of Rochester, and A. L. Urban, of Beaver Falls, were elected Secretaries. WARM DT HUNTINGDON. Republican Factions Hotlr Contesting for Nominations for Canity Offices. rSPZCIAL TBLEOnAJI TO TBX P1STATCB.I Huntingdon, Pa., Augustl 9. The Re publican County Convention here to-day failed to complete a ticket up to midnight This was owing to the time consumed over tbe contests in the nominations of a Con gressman and Associate Judge. The regular and ipdependent party factions had their war paint on from the start, and but little attention was paid to personal feelings. The Congressman Atkinson contingent, composed of Independents, captured all im portant nominations-made to-day, against the;regular taction, led by Captain Johnston, ot this place. Underlying this Congres sional fight was the prospective po3toffice appointment here. The valiant attempt of the temperance advocates to nominate Asso ciate Judge? McCarthy also resulted in a most bitter fight, terminating finally in the defeat of the prohibition Judge. The following incomplete ticket was nomi nated: Congress, L. E. Atkinson, Mifflin town; Legislature, P. M. Lytle, Shade Gap; Associate Judge, Simon Wright, Union township; Prothonotary, John Brewster; Register and Recorder, Milton Isenburg, Shirleysburg; Treasurer, G. G. Hutchinson, Warriors Mark; District Attorney, C. G. Brown. At 1130 o'clock 19 candidates were still wrestling for the nomination for County Commissioner. PROHIBITIONISTS GATHERING. A Movement ta Confine the Platform to Cold I Water Issues. riPICIAI. TXXXSBAX TO TBX DISPATCIT.l Habbisbcbo, Angust 19. The Execu tive Committee of the Prohibition party met to-night and talked over the business of the convention. A pro gramme was adopted looking to the prompt dispatch of the worK to be done. S. C. Freed, of Montgomery, one of the most liberal and energetic workers of the party, was deci0ed on for Temporary Chairman of the convention. Among tbe candidates for Governor, John B. Garrett, of Bryn Mawr, and Joshua L. Bailey, of Pniladelphia, were favorably mentioned. A strong sentiment prevails in favor of confining the platform to the prohibition issue, it being maintained by some dele gates that traveling outside of .this question for platform planks has & tendency to weaken the party. John B. Garrett has written a letter to Mr. Freed, in which he advocates an adherence to this idea. His views are expected to have weight with the Committee on Resolutions, to which his letter will be submitted. DESPERATE RAILROAD RIOT. Ohio Citizens Straggle Fiercely With Clover Leaf Employes. Cleveland, August 19. There was a desperate battle yesterday at Continental Crossing, Putnam county, between em ployes ot the Clover Leaf Bailroad and the village authorities. The village laid a. sewer under the tracks and a large force of rail road employes tore it np. In response to a telegram for assistance, Sheriff Williamson went to tbe scene of trouble with a posse of citizens and one company of militia. Id the fight that "followed there were 200 men on each Bide. Guns, revolvers, clubs and stones were freely used. About 40 persons were hurt, but none fatally. The rioters were finally repulsed and the sewer captured. All i reported quiet to-night,-though the rioters have made threatening demonstrations, and more trouble Is feared.

One of the most disastrous railroad accidents that ever oc curred in the vicinity of Boston, and one that rivals the famous Wolla&ton disaster of October 5, 1878, occurred shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon on the same road, the Old Colony, and very near the same locality. In the Wollaston disaster 15 Were killed andl50 injured. To-Jay 15 persons were killed, 12 instantly; 23 were seriously in jured, 3 fatally, and several more sustained slight injuries. The train wrecked to-day was the Wood's Holl express, which left Wood's Holl at 10:50 a.m. and was due in Boston at 1:10 p. zi. It consisted of locomotive, baggage car, smoker, the Pullman car and passenger coaches heavily loaded. LEFT THE1EACK. Just beyond President's Bridge, abont an eighth of a mile toward Boston, the engine left the track from a cause at present un determined and plunged into an embank ment 12 feet high and was buried upon one side. The tender, baggage car, smoker and Pullman passed 'by the engine and wero stretched along for a distance of 100 feet be side the track. The foremost passenger coach, No. 235, left the rails, and its foremost truck swerved to tbe left and plunged diagonally through the car floor. The earthen fell upon its left side upon the engine. Tbe lower forward portion was torn to pieces, and of thejas sengers in the car; some CO in number, many were thrown into the rear corner, from which 11 dead bodies were afterwards taken. The escaping steam and smoke from the engine instantly filled the car, so that those within could see nothing either within or without A TERRIBLE 'WEECK. f The forward cars were forced over upon the outward-bound track, completely block ing traffic, and np to 8:45 P. ai. no train had passed the wreck. Only three persons on the train ahead of car 236 were injured. These were the fire man, who was instantly killed and buried under the engine; the engineer, who jumped and was only slightly hurt, and the Pullman car conductor, B. E. Benson, who had tbe side of his face cut and his right ear nearly cut off by being thrown ont of a widow of bis car. The three rear passenger coaches did not leave the track, and the occupants received no worse injury than a slight shaking up. Car 236 was the principal scene of death and agony, and the experiences of the un lucky occupants were probably never ex ceeded in horror and suffering in any rail road wreck of recent years.
