The uind blew in Lackawanna ave
nue at n terrific rate, and the merchants
lost no t'n.e in uel'lns show cases in
side their stores. I'ni three or four
iiiinutes volumes of dust filled the air
ami everything not stroim enough to
nsii't the fury of the wind went down.
All !arts of the city felt the fori e of

UN TIIR NVK.ST SUK.
n the West Side, fruit ami shade
trees and invniiiRS had a severe trial,
i In at ilamae.e was done to the former
itluiiK l.uzerne street, and when the rain
came the inhabitants of Kellcy's I'atch
cam:' very nt ar Kettiiu; "tln.wnded
out." The celhus and Imsi nients were
iV'led. A tsust of wind lilted the awn
Ins from Its fasteidnRs on Clarke Itrot It
er's Kvncritl store and tossed it upon
the street n few hundred feet away.
Hail l.iecedcd the iai'1 on the West
Wide and centra! ciiy. The principal ef
fect of the rain upon the central city
was to Mive the sewers a Ki'"d tlushliitf
and settle tile dust. Here- and there
some trees were shorn of their dead
branches.
I.iKhlidnK struck the cupola of No. 4

A lM") CYCI.OXE.
A mild cyclone struck the riouth Side.
It did not do much damage, but that
was because It didn't last more than a
few minutes. A lain ' oak tree In front
of William Koch's clj'ar store on Cedai

it struck the trolley wire nnd brought
that down with it. There were a num

When the wire Rot nn the rails the
Hashes of lightning that Illumined the

Street tar trallle was delayed about
thirty minutes. Shade trees and fruit
trees wi-re blown down In various lo

water. On the latter avenue, between
Hitch and Heech streets, the housewives
wi re out with their mops and brooms,

keep their cellars dry.
In Mluooltn the wind was blsh. but
the rain only drizzled for a few min

RKXCH WARRANT ISSI IU).
Wilson S. I'csclcv .ArrcstcJ by Deputy
Sheriff I'erbcr Ycsterduy.
.ludtte IMwnrds yesterday issued a
bench warrant for the arrest of Wilson
H. Fcyley on the chnrpe of fraud, pre
ferred by Knhn & Kahn. a wholesale
lirm doiu'r business In New York city.
The warrant was served by Deputy
Shcrlfi J. D. FVrber and the defendant
came to the court house nnd entered
ball In-the sum of $1,000 for his ap
pearance before JudRe Kdwards in
clmnibtis tomorrow mornins at !t
o'clock for a hcnrtiiR. Frank I'. Chris
tian became his bondsman.
Tlie iFMinnee of a bench warrant by
the court for the nrrest of a person Is
somewhat unusual. It is the same us
If it were biouivht before an alderman
or Justice of the peace. The complaint
on which Feu'ley was arrested was that
he fraudulently contracted a debt with
the prosecutor and unjustly refuses to
pay It.
lie was In the necktie and shirt busi
ness at 4!'.' Spruce street, und later on
lower Lackawanna avenue. It is al
leged that on Jan. IS last the defendant
seemed poods to the amount of .'c'H.rd
fioni Kr.hn & Kahn by falsely repre
senting! and pn telidliiR to them that he
hud bought out the interest of IS. A.
Stevens, e rethink partner, and had
paid him $!. That he was worth
j.'i.ooo over and above all incumbrances.
On these r. presentations they let l.lm
have the Roods on credit. When the
bill became due it was not settled, and
lifter repented reriupFts a summons in
af-sumpslt was brouprht In court against
him.
l'pnn It'.vestisntlon Into the business
standing of Feicl.v, Kahn ft Kahn
claim to have found that he bad not
paid $1)00 to K. A. Steven", his retiring
partner, but that the money is still due
nnd that the representation that he was
worth $:,mm over and above all Incum
brances was false and fraudulent, inas
much es that he v.as not worth more
than ?L'.:ViO and that even now he is
striving to conceal some of his prop
erty. Kt.-Rcly was sold out last week bv the
sheriff nn an execution for :,4oo en
tered up against him by II. .1. Fegely.

BUM) WAS NOX EST.
I'm jcr tt lio .Mndu i hurfics Against Jail
Officials Hid Not Siibstnntinto Them.
Forger James Haird. who, after his
release .from the county Jail Suturtlny,
mailt' charges of extortion against War
den Thomas .lay and Keeper W. I).
Oieen, failed to nmteriulUo yesterday
at 10 o'clock In Sherill' demons' otlice
to substantiate his tharges. nor did
he tint in un appearance ut all. No
tiaee ot him could be found ill the city.
Mr. Jay was interviewed In the after
noon by a Tribune reporter, and he said
with reference to the matter that he
wants to have it thoroughly Investigat
ed, so that all suspicion may be re
moved from him. He is not afraid P
have every net that he is responsible
for since he entered Usm the duties of
warden of the Jail Investigated and
probed. Having done nothing wrong,
he Is ready ut any time to account for
himself.
IN TIIK SHKUIFF'S MAXIM.
With reference to the particulars of
the ease he did not wish to speak, pay
lug the matter was in Sheriff ("lemons'
hands, nnd whatever was to be said,
v.ciuid likely 1c said by hiin. Con
cerning any partiality shown to Halrd
while in jail Mr. Jay said thnt tho
prisoner was (Tut to work in tho kitchen
nnd was free from confinement in the
cell mostly all of the day but this was
because he was subject to frequent at
tacks of epileptic llts, nnd Dr. Van
Cleef, who was Jail physician when he
was brought in, recommended that if
lie were given something to do nnd con
lined only when necessary, he would
suffer less than otherwise from the ail
ment. County Commissioners S. W. Roberts
und Ciilcs Huberts said that Itulrd hud
been released from jail without serving
the thirty days additional for the fine
that had been imposed upon lilm, mere
ly because it was cheaper to let him
out thnn to feed him. He served live
months for forgery, thirty days for
costs, nnd would hove to serve thirty
days more but for his release.
MANNER OF RELEASE.
The commissioners very frequently,
by virtue of the law. get a man out
on what Is called a convict's affidavit,
rather than stand the expense of his
support for the term he would spend
tor the fine imposed. Papers are .pre
sented to one of the judges of the court,
who signs them If they think it ud
vlsnble to do so, and the release Is
obtained.
Sheriff (.'lemons hns not yet made a
complete Investigation, but he is dis
posed to pluce little credence In the
charges. He has made some investiga
tion and has found them, so fur as he
has gone, to lie utterly groundless.
Tho general impression amotiR
those who know liaird is that he is
mentally unbalanced. He was ut one
time very seriously injured In a rall
roud wreck, he claims, antl as an evi
dence of his experience he carries a
silver pinto In his skull to cover up a
space left after a trephining operation.
The night he was arrested and locked
up in the police station he attempted
suicide by means of a leather ut rap
fastened around his neck.

very excellent reports of the proceedings
of this Classis, and the religious services
connected therewith.
WILL GET THE MONEY.
Prnvldcnco and AbingtonTtirnpiko Coin
ponv's Claim Is to lie Paid.
Today, the Providence and Ablngton
Turnpike company will receive from
the city un order for S2.40S.H3, in full
settlement of the famous damage suit.
Of this amount $2,200.49 represents Un
original award; $S7.14 the costs und
$121 the Interest.
The city would pay this hill with any
thing but Rood grace but for the fact
that the same power which ordered
the warrant to be paid set the city free
from any future obligation of the sort
and gave to it the full control of a
street which it has long desired to pos
sess. The turnpike neople sent a gang of
men to begin repairs on West Market
street near Oak on Saturday but they
were given notice to quit by Street
Commissioner Kinsley and they did.
It Is expected, however, that the com

know Its position nnd that another at
tempt at repairing the road antl con
sequent litigation will result.

it is with much pride nnd pleasure that
the oilt.nul congratulates Ihe regiment
upon the splendid showing the above rat
ings as published in General Orders No. K,
give us for lSHii. While It was a great dis
appointment to the regiment and its many
friends that tho errors in the annual re

of our victory somewhat lost to us
throughout the state and country, still it
Is a great sutisfactioa in have the correc
tion made and un order published so
promptly, giving us the lirst place in the
best National Guard that exists today in
the world, nnd when it Is known that the
regiment went into camp with four new
captains, four new first lieutenants, live
new second lieutenants, a new regimental
end two new battalion adjutants, a new
lieiitenent-coloncl and major, and last, but
not least, u new chaplain, the results at
tained show the care and labor that has
been spent upon the regiment by its for
mer commanders, and the personal Interest
and pride every member has In maintain
ing its high standing and past record of
etllciency. t
The First regiment or Philadelphia fol
lows us with a rating of IU.20. the Eighth
regiment with lsH.73 next In order.
It Is expected the cry will be "still on
ward," and that the close of 1S!U! will see
the regiment still holding lirst place.
