MeCIure arrainst Gray, from the fourth dis
trict. rcjHM-ted a resolution declaring that the
return of CM. Gray was frudulcnt and void,
and that Col. McClure was lawfully elected
Senator. The report was signed by the four
Democratic members of the committee, niak
ins a majority. The decision cf a committee
of this character is final, and cannot be re
vised or rejected by the Senate. Col. Mc
C'lure thereupon appeared and took his seat.
The three Republican Senators did not agree
with the majority that Col. McCIurc had
been legally elected, but it is understood that
they did unite in the opinion that the vote of
u number of precincts should be thrown out
of the return. The Democrats went farther,
and rejected enough to unseat Mr. Gray.

fci?"GovER:oR Geary" appended his sig
nature to ths 4 'Local Option" bill early last
week and it is now a law of the State. As if
finally passed both branches of the Legis
lature it might better be called a general
option law, for its provisions are made to
operate by counties and cities, not by town
fhips and boroughs. It is understood that
it does not conflict with or supersede special
nets already passed. The first vote is to le
taken in the spring of 1873, nearly a year
hence.

restrictive legislation, and the vote by coun
ties will indicate pretty closely the state of
jtopul.-ir feeling in regard to the sale of
liquor. Of course where licenses continue
t- te granted the present laws on the subject
viil remain ia operation. The new law, wc
take it for granted, was parsed in good faith,
in response to the immense number of peti
tions addressed the Legislature expressive of
public sentiment in regard to the question.
Rut as another session of the Legislature will
be hold before it goes into practical opera
tion, it is quite probable that efforts will be
made to repeal or annul it, and then we shall
have a revival of the contest. BitcJas Co.

JtSF'The evidence of George O. Evans as to
the disposition made of the exorbitant com
mission allowed him for collecting State claims
at Washington, recently taken at New York
by a Legislative committee, has been pub
lished in detail. According to his story very
little of the enormous sum retained by him
was used for his own benefit, but the money
was distributed in parcels among his jcrsonal
friends. Of these one S. 1. Urown got $20,
000, not as a right, but as a "mater of per
sonal honor." Evans declared distinctly that
neither Gov. Geary, Col. Forney, Col. Jor
dan or Mr. Ma-ckey ever got any of the com
missions. He gave J. Robley Dunglison
$2500 as "a matter of pcrsonaal friendship."
In reply to the question, "What has become
of the 231.000 you received as commission?"
Evans said :
"I have explained that it was expended
in extraordinary expenses, in arranging and
collecting these claims and in the payment
of large turns of indebtedness previously in
curred debts which I considered I was hon
orably bound to discharge, although perhaps
not legally bound to pay."
Evans further said that he notified the
Governor of every transaction as lie went
alonsr, but he did notcive the committee anv
further satisfaction as to particulars. The
whole business exhibits a most reprehensible
difference to the public interests, and if the
declarations of Evans that lie gave most of j
the money are to be believed lie is certainly
a curiosity amoDg office-holders
Gov. Geary was examined on Friday, and
testified that he had never received any of
the money. He maintained, however, that
Evaus was entitled to retain the whole sum.

Mr. Kckcrt, the Principal of the school, made
his apr-earence upon the stage and addressed
the audiance, on the nature cf Education, his
remarks wore to the point, nnd I think thtwe
who listened to him will not forget very soon,
the eloping part or that Addre. when he re
fered to a voting lady, who on the day that she
va. to graduate and leave School, gathered her
school books all together and then making a
bon-iirc of them all, sat watching the flames as
they (wreathed) and the smoke as it curled,
until thev were entirely consumed,' then n if
she had performed a feat equal to that of Cor-

The school then appeared upon the stage and
pang 'The Ever Green Mountains of Life,' then
followed a dialogue between Mr. F. L. Xau
man and Mr. A. Xcwhart which was greatly ap
plauded. A few more pieces and then a nong
was sang, by Miss Ella It. Baumon, the closing
part of it was as follows :

Then there were a number of Dialogues spoken,
singing, &c. Afterward John A. Transue,
one of the School Directors, delivered an ad

which wa listened to with great attention.

TERRIBLE TORNADO AT ST. LOUIS.
A MARKET HOUSE ONE MAN KILLED
AND SEVERAL TEUSONS INJURED
MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
St. Louis, March 30. A very severe
thunder and lightning storm passed over
this city about o o clock this evening, ac
comnauied by a heavy rain. During the
storm a tornado from the south west struck
a large brick market house on Seventh
St., between Square and Poplar, and level
cd the northern half of it to the ground
in an instant. Most of the roof and sev
eral heavy timbers were carried across
Seveuth st . and, striking the building
opposite, knocked two rrcat holes in it
aud exposing the rooms.
The following are the names of the in
jurcd : Johu Heck, back severely hurt,
causing paralysis in the lower part of the
body; will probably die. Mrs. r Ion, com
pouud fracture of the left lower leg ; flcsl
badly lacerated. Edwin Fieri, internally
hurt, aud shoulder torn by a meat hook
George White, badly cut about the head.
nose broken, and right ankle dislocated
Henry Lipardt, internally hurt. John
Rurgcr, arm brokeu ; bruised in various
places. Iwo or three others were bruis
ed slightly.
The body of Charles M. Dyer of Tole
do, Ohio, was found this afternoon utider
a portion of the roof which . was blown
from the market-house last, night.. Dyer
was a young man, 10 years of age, who,
iu company with R. M. Streeter, his tutor,
and one or two other gentlemen, had just
arrived by a Missouri Pacific traiu, and
was walking through the market-house
ou their way up town wheu the tornado
struck the market house. The party
scattered, each seeking safety for himself.
Dyer rushed into Seventh St., aud was
over taken by a large mass of metal roof
ing, which struck him on tho top of the
head, crushing his skull evidently killing
him instantly.
A portion of the roof of the virtiol fac
lory corner of Austin and Fourteenth sts
was blown off, and Dennis Dunn, a work
man, was badly wounded. Other dam
ages in various points in the city are re
ported to day, but none seriously. In
East St. Louis the roof of the round house
belonging to the Tcrre Haute Railroad
was blown off. Several locomotivns were
somewhat injured, and John Myers and
another man were wounded.
The steamer II. C. Yeager, and a ferry
boat iu the harbor, lost their chimneys,
and the steamer Northwestern, was blown
across the river. The part of tho ruark
ethouse destroyed was about 150 feet long,
45 feet wide, and 25 feet high. It will
cost, probably, 510,000 to rebuild it.
The loss to the butchers is about 10,000.
The Weather and the Crops.
San Francisco, March 31. The
weather is warui, with occasional showers.
and grain is maturing rapidly. The yield
of gold, silver, wool, corn and wheat this
year will bo immensely greater than in

tain A Volcano in Active Operation
Many Persons Killed and Wounded.
San . Francisco, March 30. De
spatches from the volcanic district in Inyo
county, give additional details of the earth
quake disaster on Tuesday last. The
shocks still continue, though with decreas
ed violence It i. remarkable that only a
slight shock was felt on Tuesday in Ccn
tral and Northern California Cerro Gordo
was badly damaged, having several build
ingV thrown dowu and one man killed.
Lone Pine appears to have been directly
over tlie ceuire oi me oiaiuruauco.
Among the killed at the latter place was
Mr. Gray, nged 42 years, and a uative of
Texas. The remainder were all bpamsh
m erica ns.
The first shock is described as resctnbP
in" a park of artillery fired directly be
neath the town. Uolonel Whipple, who
was in the second story of an adote house,
states that he ha 1 just time to jump from
his bed and get to the doorway, wh?n the
house anneired to crumble to pieces, lie
was buued among the ruins, but succeed
ed ia extricating himself from the debris,
having received several severe but Dot
dangerous wounds. The scene beggars
description. Nearly the whole populace
was buried under the ruins Cries lor
help, and scieims of pain from the wound
ed beneath the ruins tilled the air, while
those who escaped were calling for aid to
rescue fathers and children.
The first shock was followed in quick
succession by three others. Over three
hundred distinct shocks were felt between
half past two A. M. and eunrise ; in fact,
the earth was in a constant tremble for
over three hours. A chasm was opened
to the extent of thirty five miles down the
Valley, and varying from three inches to
forty feet in width. At Swanzea, Colorado.
Tre-el!o. of the Smcltinjr Works, was
o
killed. Great desolation prevails through
out the vicinity of Lone Pine. A de
snatch today from Visalia says that
several shocks were felt in that city last
nicrht and arc still coming from the
southeast.

chasms in the mountains ' cast of us as
soou as the snow disappears enough to

of a volcano in active operation having

Mountain, sixty miles south ot Vis;ilia.
The Indians iu that vicinity have all left
feariug the recurrence of a general con
vulsion of natu e which, according to
their traditions, occurred in that region
some hundreds of years ogo, and created
what is known as Owen's River Ylley.

The section affected by the earthquake
was sparsely inhitbithed, mainly by peo
nle enua-'ei in working silver bcarin;
lead mines.
Further advices from Inyo co infy pla
the number ki filed by the earthquake at
thirty betides one hundred wounded. Io
the desert couufry, stretching from Oweus
lake to the Mexican line, are innumcra
ble craters of not long extinct volcanoes
besides several mud volcanoes, and it i?
supposed that some of these old vu!ciuoe
may be in eruption again.
A gentleman from Indcr endence assoi ts
that smoke and ashes from a volcano were
distinctly seen southward froai tl;a: place,
and word had been brought there thai
lava was seen flowing down the mountain,
but this report is not authenticated. The
shocks continued decreasing in force up
to Thursday morning when over one
thousand had been counted.
At Tibbitt's Rauche, fiiteen mile above
Independence, forty a:rei of ground sunk
seven feet below the surface of the sur
rounding country.
Rig Owens lake has risen four feet since
the first shocks. Owens river ran over its
bauks, depositing shoals of fish on fihore.
and afterwards receded. For a distance
of three or four miles, through Lone Piuc,
the earth cracked. One side remained
stationary, while the other side sauk
seven or eight feet, leaving a wall of earth,
extending over three miles iu length,
where formerly was a level plain. In
numerable cracks were made throughout
the valley. -
ICern aud Owens rivers turned and ran
up stream for several miuutcs, leaving
their beds dry. and finally returned with
largely increased volume. There has been
no parallel to this earthquake siuce IS 12.

and La Parisina, in Southern California,

he was taken to John MoNulty's in Al
