The Somerset Herald.! EDWARD SCTLL. Editor ana l'niri.-!or. WEDNESDAY. Ex-Senator Tihtman declares that lie has quit public life for good, an;l determinedly refuses lo accept the democratic nomination for Gov ernor of Ohio. - . . i CovKiiNou Hoyt has vetoed l.ic I hill granting the Salisbury road extension of its charter privileges, on the jiround that it conflicts witli the State Constitution.

V. Jackson, of Mercer county, as their candidate for State Treasurer. IIox. J. A. Rentley having, by request of the President, resigned his position as Commissioner- of Tensions, W. V. Dudley, V. S. Mar thai of Indiana, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. The movement to make lion. William D. Kciley, of this Stat?, Speaker of the next House of Rep resentative is said to be assuming formidable proportions. The West, however, insists that the position belongs to it. The New York Tribune savs: " The time seems ripe for a new par- ty." The Trihvac thought toe same j in 1S72, and we supposed the miser able failure it then made would have taught it better sense for all time to come. The large amount of mutilated silver coin in circulation shows that rogues have turned their attention to the business of thus robbing the cur rency. All business men should re fuse to receive this punched and clipred coin. The deadlock still continues in the New York Legislature over the election of U. S. Senators. A vote in joint session is taken daily with but slightly varying result, and these are caused principally by the pairing and absence of the mem bers. It is announced that Charles S. Wolfe will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Gover nor. What claim this pestilent lit tle demagogue and sham reformer, can urge upon a party he has tried to destroy, we cannot imagine. Ox Wednesday last proceedings were commenced by Hon. Chas. S. Wolfe, against the State Treasurer, for the recovery of the $.V0 withheld from the pa) of members. Judge Pearson, at Harrisburg, allowed a writ of Mandamus to issue. The question is to be argued before him on Thursday. f Vice Pkesidexts Kixo and Key ser, of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road, have both resigned, and it is said Mr. Robert Garrett, son of Pres- j ident John W. Garrett, will be made First Vice President. This move- j mcnt as is said looks to Lis eventu- J ally being made President, as sue- j ccssor of his father. Governor Hoyt ha3 signed the bill passed by the recent Legislature requiring the registration of all prac titioners of medicine and surgery, in the Prothonotary's office of the county in which they reside, and also the act requiring School Direc tors to allow teachers wages while attending County Institutes. This is the sort of man the half- breeds at Albany are voting for: Chauncey Dcpew, on whom they are trying to unite, was a Liberal in 18.2, and later the Democratic can didate for Lieutenant Governor, run ning on the ticket with Kerr.an, who is now the Democratic nominee for Senator. Ah, yes! these half-! breeds are well-named. Inlcr-Occan. !

This! publication has brought a storm of : denunciation upon the General, from I the so-call sl independent press of ; the countrv. The able ,i;t..r ,W! these journals apparently forget that although Grant may be in error in ' t Ihis affair, yet that like any other citizen he is entitled to the express ion of his opinions, and also to fair treatment. General Grant is too near the hearts of the people to be "injured by abuse of this kind. The landlords of this State have reason to be grateful to the Legisla ture for a bill passed, and since made a law by the signature of the Gov ernor, intended to restrain minors in the use of intoxicating linnr.r j Thr new law puts a penalty on puch persons for deceiving landlords. Heretofore the penalty applied only to the seller, while the buyer, a mi nor, incurred none.

Upon the ques tion whether the suece-cr of Mr. Rollins, whose term will expire in March, JSS3, should he elected now. the two Houses differ, the .Senate i thinking lie should, and the House declaring otherwise. One explaria jtion of the differences of opinion is 'that Mr. Rollins coas'idcs that a 1 1 majority of the Kepu-.-.cans in the I present legislature are his frieiids, I thus insuring his re election, while other candidates ar.d aspirant.

The peo ple of the smaller counties will not quietly assent to have their right lo the ballot curtailed, and if the Gov ernor and the Supreme Court each insist on the enforcement of their views there is IiKely to be a shindy, cri.Mxc5.

The atmospheric prcssii.e wr.s wry jacat between -1 and o o'clock in the afternoon, and during that short hour no lees than three "twisters" dealt death and de struction in as many paths. The first that came was from King Cily and its n i inily. This cyclone start ed near M ivannah, in Andrew coun ty. It3 course was northwest, through Flag Springs and King City. Many houses were destroyed and not less than twelve lives lost in Andrew county. At Flag Springs and King City the destruction was much areatcr, the loss of life in that vicin ity being probably fifty men, women and children. The public school building in King City, a large brick structure, was razed to the ground. Hundreds of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep were killed, one man losing 80 cattle, another Ot) sheep and another 7 horses. From information received it ap pears that the cloud formed in a field near the Laisley Chapel, about eight miles northwest of Savannah, and moved south of east. It tore down trees and fences, and struck the large brick house of Nathaniel Kellogg, situated about tix miles north of the town, which it blew to pieces. Mr. Kellogg and his family were absent from home at the t'liie, and thus escaped injury. Two horses belonging to Mr. Keliogg. which were in a field near the house, were found in a field a quarter of a mile away, supposed to he carried there by the cyclone. The next building in its way was the resi dence of Mr. J. Holt, situated near Fall Rridge. It struck the corner of the house, moving it from its foundation, and damaging it very much. W. S. Wright had 50 hogs killed. John Park's house, further !en, was blown away, and Mrs. Parke was seriously imured. Mr. Hel mad's house was carried away, and a Raptist church nearly torn to pieces. The residence of Mrs. Laugh lin further on was blown to pieces, the furniture, clothing ancl every thing contained in the house being carried away. Feather beds were torn to pieces, and the feathers strewn all through the timber. Stoves and all kinds of household roods from the house were carried through the air, and their owners have not as yet found any cf them. The house of Mr. Linn Roberts was destoyed, as well as that of K. A. Philips, near Fish Ford. From there the storm passed on to Flag Springs and King City. The cy clone was about a quarter of a mile wide, and was very violent. Fully two-thirds of the houses blown away were unoccupied, the families being away from home, cither at church or visiting, otherwise the loss of life would have been frightful. the ToaxAno ix kaxsas. A correspondent, describing the scene near Olivet, says : 'A horse was lifted out of a stable and carried over a hish hill and dashed upon the rround in a cornfield a mile were lifted from the away. Cattle (rround. carried into the air and dashed to pieces. Mr. Powell's line orchard was totally destroyed, the trees being torn from the ground and twisted into a thousand frag ments. Miss Tweed found the works of her gold watch a quarter of a mile from her house, livery thing was carried away, the furniture all de stroyed, and her trunk was lifted out of the house, csrried off, and has not yet been found. From this point the storm moved a little north easterly, going about one mile north for every three miles cast. Mrs. Freeman, a widow, lining near Oli vet, lost her house and everything in it. Mr. Plounticr's farm-house end buildings were left in ruins. Three negro children, left at home near Olivet, were badly injured, one having since died, and it is thought the others cannot live. Mr. Rosccrants, who lived north1 west, and Mrs. John Harper, who lived north-east ot .Melvcrn, are known to have been killed. Mm.

The houses and buildings of twenty persons, beginning near Olivet, and following the track of the cyclone, were totally destroyed. Articles of household goods were smashed and ground into atoms and beds and clothing whipped into rags and shreds. A special dispatch from Wells, Minn., gives the following details of the damage by the storm: Ihc barn of G. P. Probert was lifted from its foundation and carried 50 feet and then dashed to pieces. The house and all outbuildings were un roofed and all the things scattered beyond recovery. The .harvesters were lifted in the air and dashed to the ground and ruined. Mr. Pro bert '9 little girl who was in the barn, was unhurt a3 also were his horses. The dwelling of Geo. Ilening and a man named Grady, of this town, were destroyed. The storm then passed into Rlue Earth county. In the town of Danville the house of one R. Jones was rolled over several times, and Jones and hi3 wife being in it, the woman was severely cut in the neck and face. A large barn on the farm of Mr. Curtis was tn- tircly destroyed. The shanty of Mr. Axtall was picked up like a feather and torn to pieces. The house of John Vance was lifted bod ily and carried over the tops of high trees and then laid upside down. Mrs. Vance, her brother and another lady were in the house and escaped almost without a hurt. The damnge to the crops .s not great, ns there was little hail. Intelligence from Western Iowa, including Audubon, Cass, Pottawat tomie and Guthrie Counties, is to the effect that the storm of Sunday did much damage by wind and haiL Calves, hogs, chickens, ducks, ire, were killed, and the cattle were badly bruised bv hail-stones and now go about witli swollen eyes and their flesh dripping blood. Build ings, trees, and fruits were blown down.

WORK OP THE WAVES. A HEAVY LOSS TO LUMBERMEN. ILLiOXS fii' J-'EET OF LIMREU LOSl A MAS KE1-ORTED J.OSI" PTORM IX AM" ;'OVNl I lTTMa The heavy rain storms of this week have caused a rapid rise in both rivers, ami if the rains contin ue, a flood inn v be looked for nhort- lv. There has been no damage done as yet to the property of the coal men on t ie Monongahela. and as they are well prepared for emer gencies, they will probably escape without injury. The lumbermen and others on the Allegheny have not fared so well, this river having risen so rap idly and unexpectedly that the owners of the property were taken unawares. There was considerable loss of rafts, logs and other lumber which, not having been properly se cured, were carried away ; but as the lumbermen have been busily engaged mice early this morning in rescuing their remaining projerty, they do not anticipate any further loss. At 2 o'clock this morning the A I legheny was rising at the rate of two feet per hour, and the Mononga hela one foot per hour, but the tele grams at 9 a. m. state that tho river at Greensboro and Morgantown was stationary, while at Oil City it was still raining and the Allegheny still on the rise. At that place houses were washed out of place, logs and other obstructions thrown on the tracks of the railroads and trains generally detained. The water in the Allegheny rose to 18 feet, and at present is about stationary, but as it is still raining iit headwaters, it is expected that it will commence to rise again within a few hours. The losses of property will prove more serious than was at first ex pected. One gentleman, Samuel Short, of North East, Pa., lost over one million feet of lumber, valued at about $10,000. He has boats out in pursuit of his property and may succeed in saving some of it. The lumber was moored about opposite Twenty-ninth street. Mr. McClure, the lumberman, of Thirty-third street, lost about 1,200,(XK) feet of lumber. A. R. Hays, who had some lumber tied in the Allegheny, lost part of it, but how much could not be learned. Kuwer Pros, also lost some from their landing on the Al legheny. An unknown man is re ported to have been carried away on the rafts, and it is thought that he is lost. The wrecks of rafts, barges and lumber have lodged in large quanti ties against the piere of the bridges of the Allegheny, and-the reports from up the river state that more drift is still coming down. The water in the Monongahela reached 1ft feet 2 inches at eight o'clock this morning, and then turn ed and slowly began to subside. The Signal officer prophesied a clear up to-day and fair weather for this cvenins. and his prediction may yet be verified, but a great quantity of ram poured down this aiternoon, and the river will doubtless take a second boom. A heavy cloud swept over and dipped down into the city, and for a time the dull, leaden vapor packed the streets and alleys, and crawled and .wreathed about the windows so that the gas had to be lit. About mid-day the clouds broke away somewhat, although the rain continued, and the day has some prospects of winding up pleasantly after all. Travel on nearly all the railroads centering here was more or fess im peded by land slides. At Georges, Lockport and Roliveron the Penna. railroad, slides of some magnitude occurred, and the morning express trains were delayed nearly an hour. Trains on the Allegheny Valley and West Penn road were also delayed by the high sweep of the water in the upper Allegheny. No serious damage is reported having occur red on the Baltimore and Ohio road but the Panhandle sufl'ered several small washouts. In the Iiawrenceville districts the heavy volumes of water that poured down the hill streets gathered in swelling pools on Penn avenue and Butler street As there was not sufficient egress for the water by way of the sewers, the streets at many places were flooded, and many cellars partially flooded. At Thirty-third street the yellow mud washed down from the hill above, settled on the street car tracks six inches deep and passing cars invar iably stuck fast for a time. A repe tition of this was experienced at Thirty-second and Twenty-fourth streets. What remained of the old wooden pavement at the forks of the road was rooted up and floated into the sewers on the swollen tide. liiirncd to Death. Nkw Yokk, June 15. Fire broke out this afternoon in the bonded warehouses in Brooklyn near the Wall street Ferry, known as the Pierrenont stores, and soon got be yond control. It was first discover ed among some bags of damastetl linseed, when the workmen in the warehouses endeavored to extin guish it but were di iven out. One of their number named Patrick Mor ris was caught by the flames and burned to death. Another workman named Thomas .Ryan jumped from the third story window, receiving in juries which will probably prove fa tal.

Hiik'hle In Cldcngo. Cun.-A'io, J une lo.-About o'clock last evening a young man named Hugo Von Malapert, who appear", to belong to a noble family in Ger many, jumped from the top of the water works tower. 1 GO feet high, and was instantly killed. Nobody saw the suicidal jump, but a num ber of people on tho street lit ai- the water works saw the body of 'a man descending through the air, and hurrying to the spot where it fell, found a corpse which had hurried its head a foot deep in the grass plot which surrounded the tower. While they were questioning who it was, a stranger appeared from the tower, and told the following story : "1 formed Malapert's acquaintance at the door leading to the stairs up the tower. He told me that ho was born at Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, and had been an officer in the Ger man army. We went up to the top of the tower together, and stayed viewing the city for fifteen minutes. When we started down he insisted that I should go first. When we had deseendo! about a third of the way he stopped and said, '! left inv silk handkerchief up there and must go back and get it.' I went back to see what was the matter he stai so long, but could not see him. ) hastened down the stairs, and on emerging from the tower I found that in tho midst of a crowd, lying on the grass, was my fate cornpan ion. on .Malaperts body were found a couple of letters addressed ed to him at 1.0 Last Adams street Chicago, all written in German, and all. cxeeot one from 1 okohama, dated in German'. In an envelop were found three photographs one ol a little girl and two ot officers in the German army. One of these bore the name "Fritz Von Malapert," and the other "Baron Von Malapert." All of these photographs were taken in r rankfort on-the-Main, Germa ny. It has been learned that Malapert had been in this city about two years, and that in his fatherland he belonged to a noble family. He came to Chicago eigeteen months ago, and was in the employment of the shipping firm of Messrs. Black & Arnstein, 170 Last Adams street to whom a bulky letter, found in his .pocket, was addressed, with the re quest that it should be delivered. The foreman of Black & Arnstein's stated last night that Malapert-was considered a responsible man, and did not drink, it was always sup posed that he had no friends in Chi cago, and had been a lieutenant in the German Army. It has been as certained that the suicide was the son of the present Chamberlain of Emperor William cf. Germany, and that his family name is Malapert Von Newville, of Frank fort-cn-the- Main, one of the oldest German families, which has held a number of leading positions in the empire.

Pmi.AbixriUA, June 1G. Frank lin B. Gowen, Receiver of the Phila delphia and Reading Railroad, in an address to-night charged that the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny had sacrificed the interests of the city and State and its stockholders for ulterior purposes. From his grounds ot complaint Gowen deduc ed there exists a number of evil. which he denominated the railroad problem of the day, and which he described .as being chiefly interfer ence with legislative and judicial authority, acquisition of wealth by railroad officials at the exjK-nsc of stockholders, and unjust discrimi nations in the matter of traffic charges, and in this connection he asserted the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for years owned the Leg islature of this State and bought its members like sheep in the sham bles, and coming down to a late day he intimated his belief that the same corporation was at the bottom of the recent four tor three decision by theSunreme Court in his case Tho Quebec Fire. OKKHIAb KKPOKT OK THK I .OSS ICS SfS TAIXICD. Qi Er.icc, June 10. The following is the official statement of the num ber of houses destroyed and families rendered homeless and destitute by the fire on the night of the Sth inst: Six hundred and forty-two houses, one thousand two hundred and elev en famjlies, consisting of six thous and and twenty-eight individuals. Two-thirds of the above have lost their all and had no insurance on their property. At last night's meet ing ot the Relief Committee the res olution passed at tho meeting of Protestant gentlemen on Monday was unanimously adopted. The resolution provides that 10 per cent, of all the subscriptions received by the committee shall be paid to the Protestant committee for the relief of Protestant victims by the fire. Quite a sensation is caused in St. John street whenever an alarm of fire is given. It looked like a panic on Tuesday to see people rushing in groups into the street on the sound ing of an alarm. A very large amount of property lost at the late fire, and supposed to have been sto len, has been recovered by the de tectives. Much of it was claimed on Tuesday afternoon, but there is stili a quantity at the Central fetation awaiting orders. A Train AVrcckert. Franklin, Pa., June 9.

A JIu;o r.311'1 rnreJiasw. Pii.'bbEi.riu., June lft. What u claimed to be the largest pur chase of land tvtr mad-j by u single individual in tho world occurred to day, when Hamilton Disston, a prominet manufacturer of this city, closed a contract by which he se cured four million acre of land from tho stale of Florida. Thi huge transaction h:is been i-i nego tiation for some months, and its success was owing lo soux-s very shrewd tactics on the part of the !i.'..nb of .Mr. Disston. The land acquired a tract nearly as large as of the public domain of the fetate of Florida, and under control of the board of internal improvement of j state Owing to the recent improv ed value of the land of Florida this property has been anxiously looked after bv capitalists of New York and Boston. For years through agents these gentlemen have endeav ored to purchase the land. The state had no disposition to sell until recently, when it became necessary to do so to relieve the state from certain obligations which had be come burdensome. The contract has been fully "'executed, and the young Philadelphia manufacturer is now the possessor of the largest landed domain in the world. The tract is situated north of Lake Okee-. chobe, and is nearly all below the j frost line. The amount paid for the i hind has not been made public, but it is understood to be a very large J sum in cash. It is Mr. Disston 's intention to at once begin an emi gration scheme, which will result in a very large addition to the popula tion of Florida. To this end he has already established agencies in sev eral places in this country, and will at once organize emigration bu reaus in England, Scotland, France, Germany, Holland and Italy.

The scoun drels mounted and masked wert. to the house of 1 Greene county ered both him there they went Armstrong Sexton and treated him and his wife the same way. They tried to do the like to Jonn Pettit, an old soldier, but lound .they had met the wrong man.

Riley finds his prediction with regard to the seventeen-year locusts verified by their appearance within a few days in various localities. He made a report some time ago on the subject, based mainly upon an unpublished manuscript of the late Dr. Gibson Smith, of Baltimore, Md., who made a life study of these insects. From this list it appears that u brood of seventeen-year lo custs should mature this year in certain parts of Wisconsin. North Carolina, Virginia, Northern Ohio, and a few in Lancaster county, Pa., and Westchester county, New York : the brood known as the thirteen- year locusts was to be expected this year quite generally throughout the South. The two broods have little or n specified difference, but divide on geographical lines. At templed Assassination of a Priest. Caujjoxdale, June 13.
