Eight large buildings were completely wrecked and 200 small houses were blown down, causing a loss of $300,000. At noon it was as dark as night and Intensely hot. A few moments before 1 o'clock the storm broke, increasing in force until it became a tornado. Peo ple were thrown down and fences and signs hurled hundreds of feet. The storm, which raged for only ten min utes. was two miles wide and wrecked the buildings. The street car barns were wrecked and cars were smashed to pieces. The electric wires were all blown down. The roof of the warehouse of the Crocker Chair company was blown off and thrown against the factory, wreck ing the building. The tent on a horse and pony show was torn from the ground and blown away, leaving the animals to run panic stricken through the city. The roof of the Schrier brew ery was lifted from the building and carried over 150 yards. The steeple of the Lutheran church was blown down onto two residences, smashing in the roofs. The fourth ward school house was completely wrecked. The wind wrecked buildings with the greatest rapidity, and there was little warning of the approach of the storm. The people in every case, however, were out. of their houses before the storm struck and those who were hit by flying debris were only slightly in jured. In the factories the employes were in many cases bruised and cut from wreckage. I'nnr Prrinna Drowned anil One II limed to Dentil. Pittsburg. Aug. 20. —Four drownings and one death by burning Is Pittsburg's fatal accident record for the day. The dead are: Chris. Paffenbath, aged 50, fell from a raft in the Allegheny river, was drowned; Edward G. Brillinger, 8 years old, fell from a raft while fish ing in the Allegheny river and was drowned before he could be rescued; James Gallagher and Hugh McGrady, boys, were drowned together while swimming in the Monongahela. Mc- Grady got beyond his depth and Gal lagher in attempting to rescue him was pulled under, and neither came to the surface again. Mrs. Mary C. Boyd, wife of the assistant superintendent of the New York and Cleveland Coal com pany at Oak Hill, was burned to death in a peculiar manner. She was clean ing a rusty saw and was using what she thought was elaine oil as a clean ser. She placed the five gallon can on the floor about six feet from the stove and turned around to get a rag. Immediately there was an explosion. She ran from the house a mass of flames, and though her husband quick ly wrapped her in a blanket and smothered the flames, she was so badly burned that she died In agony three hours later. Mr. Boyd thinks his wife had the gasoline can instead of the oil can. which would account for the ex plosion. While the neighbors wero working over Mrs. Boyd her house burned to the ground. limnne Fuultlve Captured. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Aug. 20.—Harry N.

De Wet ap peared Saturday at North Commando Nek, held by Gen. Baden-Powell, and sent in a flag of truce asking the sur render of the British force. Gen. Bad en-Powell replied, asking what terms De Wet was prepared to offer. De Wet j is evidently moving eastward. Great chagrin is expressed here over the news that after chasing Gen. De Wet 1,000 miles Lord Kltchner failed to overtake him. The Saturday Review says the blu- | ders in the pursuit of De Wet .ere due j to sheer incompetence. Lord Roberts, it says, is running the risk of losing his laurels by his inex* plicable failure to bring the war to an end. Gen. Lord Roberts is issuing new severe and rigorous orders, rescinding ! the one previously issued. Lord Roberts' proclamation, after ] reciting the fact that hany have broken the oath to aintain neutrality and that j the leniency extended to the burghers is not appreciated, warns all who break their oaths in the future that they will be punished by death, im prisonment or fine. He declares that all burghers in the district occupied by the ritish, except those who take the j oath, will be regarded as prisoners of j war and transported, and that build ings tin farms where the enemy or hio 1 scouts are harbored will be liable to j be razed. The case for the defense in the trial of Lieut. Cordua, of the Staats artii- I lery, charged with being concerned in the plot to kidnap Lord Roberts, was concluded Saturday. Leut. Cordua's j counsel admitted that the accused was guilty of breaking his parole and of ' attempting to plan a conspiracy, but 1 he asserted that the attempt was a j failure. Counsel also maintained that Gano suggested the entire plot and egged on the prisoner. On these grounds he asked the court to find that the charges had not been proved and begged its mercy for his client, j Gano, who is said to be of American ; birth denied having suggested the plot.

Clinracterlic* III* Trial For Com plicity In the Uoeliel Mnrdir •" a Political One anil One cf the Great est Judicial Farce* in Hi*tory. Georgetown. Ky., Aug. 20. —Caleb Powers, former secretary of state, was on Saturday found guilty of complicity in the shooting of Senator Goebel and was sentenced to imprisonment for life. There was a great crowd in and around the courthouse when the ver dict was returned and sentence pro nounced. The jury was out only about 45 minutes. Only one ballot was taken. It resulted unanimously in favor of life imprisonment. The jury was compos ed of eight Goebel Democrats, three anti-Goebel Democrats and one Re publican. Several of Powers' friends crowded around and expressed their sympathy with him. Powers seemed dazed. For a few moments he was at the point of fainting, but he recovered himself with an effort. "It is an unjust verdict," he said as he turned togo with Jailer Reid. There was no sort of demonstration following the verdict, and the vast crowd filed out of the courthouse al most In silence. Powers remained in the court room for some time after the verdict was rendered, in conference with his attorneys, who will at once move for a new trial, and, failing in that, will take an appeal. Caleb Powers Issued a statement to the public las evening as follows: "I am nske,d my opinion concerning my trial and the verdict of the jury. Could I have but one opinion? Can any fair minded man or woman of this state have but one? That one of the great est judicial farces known to history has been enacted here in my trial, un der the forms of law, no well informed man can doubt. Innocence is no shield with SIOO,OOO and the methods of Camp bellism against you. The rectitude of one's past life counts for naught. They say Taylor is guilty because he was at his office and that I was guilty because I was away from mine. This has been a political trial throughout for poli tical purposes. "There are good men and noble wo men in the Democratic party, and many of them. They are not all bad, far from it. A great many of them do not en dorse the theft of the state offices. A great many more will not endorse this mockery of a tri; 1, this prostitution of the courts of justice for certain ends. From the beginning of the campaign until now I have stood with what lit tle of merit I have had, for the rights and liberties of the people. That is my crime. That is the only offense I have committed. That is the only thing proven against me. I swore to that myself in my testimony. I have never had and I now have no apology to make for being true to the trust Im posed upon me by a majority of the voters of this state. History will draw its dark linos around those who have outraged me and disgraced the judici ary and blackened the history of the state." I.nriccNt A* Factory Ilnrned.

A continual talker is a bore. Don't Hatter your hostess' husband. It is not in good taste. Wives object to this. Don't accept invitations unless your hostess is consulted, and if she is not in vited decline them. Don't leave hats, coats, umbrellas and the like in the best room, for it is an un pardonable offense. Don't refuse the church and its serv ices. To decline shows you are a person lacking good manners. Don't criticise other people's houses, other people's tables, other people's chil dren. It is very bad form. Don't take novels or magazines from tho bookroom unless permission is asked. When finished, return them to their i shelves.

I'ennsylvuniu's Supreme Court Chief Die* Suddenly at Aliunde City After Twenty-one Yeurx* Service. Career of Two Prominent Jurist*. East Las Vegas, N. M., Aug. 17. —The remains of ex-United States Senator John J. Ingalls, who died yesterday morning at the Montezuma hotel. Las Vegas Hot Springs, were started for Atchison, Kan., his late home, in the afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. In galls and her youngest son, Sheffield. The body will arrive in Atchison this afternoon and the funeral will be held from the old homestead on Sunday afternoon. In accordance with a special re quest of Senator Ingalls, every feature of the funeral will be simple. The di rect cause of death was bronchitis. He had made all plans to leave for Atchi son, where he had expressed a wish to die. He was anxious for the end to come, as he had felt for the last six months that his life work and career of usefulness was over. John Jame9 Ingalls was born at Middleton, Mass., Dec. 29, 1833. He graduated from Williams college in 1855, and two years later was admit ted to the bar. He then moved to Kansas. He was a lawyer and a hater of slavery. In 1859, when he had been in his new home only a year, he was a delegate to the Wyandotte constitu tional convention, and was a leader among those by whom slavery was ex cluded from the territory. He was secretary of the territorial council In 1860, and when Kansas was admitted into the Union he was made secretary of the state senate. From 1863 to 1865 he was in the volunteer service of the state, serving as major, lieutenant colonel and judge advocate. In 1573 he was elected to the United States senate to succeed Senator S. C. Pomeroy. He was re-elected to the sen ate In January, 1879, after a spirited contest, and was a second time re elected in 1885. He retired from the senate, however, at the end of his third term in 1891, when he was de feated by William A. Peffer, the Popu list, by a vote of nearly two to one in the joint convention of the legislature. This was the first time in the history of Kansas that a United States senator had been chosen who owed no allegi ance to the Republican party, and was elected without its aid. Mr. Ingalls went to Washington to take his seat in the senate a bitter partisan, and such he remained to the end of his 18 years of service in that body, as it was probably not in his na ture to change. Since Mr. Ingalls' re tirement from the senate his attention had been devoted chiefly to literary pursuits, and his name has frequently appeared in daily and monthly periodi cals as the author of descriptive or controversial articles.

I stand by this spec-• • .m, lutely, and have nothing to exp ,! >>ii in connection with it, but I do wish lo point out where its meaning was de liberately inverted. "In my speech I began by saying: 'We appeal not only to Republicans, but to all good citizens who are Americans in fact as well as in name to help us in re-electing President Mc- Kinley.' I ended by saying: 'Study the Kansas City platform and you cannot help realizing that their policy (the policy of its makers and sponsors) is a policy of infamy, that their tri umph would mean misery so wide spread that it is almost unthinkable and a disgrace so lasting that more than a generation would have to pass before it could be wiped out. They stand for lawlessness and disorder, for dishonesty and dishonor, for license and disaster at home and cowardly shrinking from duty abroad. We ask the support of all Americans who have the welfare of the country at heart, no matter what their political affilia tions may have been in the past' " CUBA'S CONSTITL'RION'AL CONVENTION.' Gumez Wnnts Everyone bnt Revolu tion i*t» Barred Out. Havana. Aug. 21. —Gen. Maximo Go mez publishes a letter in La Lucha re garding the election of delegates to the forthcoming constitutional convention, which he asks all the papers of the island to print. Gen. Gomez says in part: "IdeaS must not be confronted with principles. Honor demands that prin ciples should be saved even at the cost of life. The convention should consist of genuine revolutionists and it will bo consist, unless the people, flattered by fine words, allow what they have conquered to be taken away from them. Nobody should be allowed to enter the | convention who formerly defamed the j revolution, unless Cubans wish to out i rage honor and sacred duty. "The enemy is working hard, but j let Cubans remember that those who | opposed the revolution cannot be ac cepted at the last moment. Many rich and intellectual persons have shown opposition to the revolution. All these should be left out. Patriotism has the right to chose the most worthy—not the most wise—until the republic is established." PINANCE AND TRADE 7, Dnn't Merentitlle A«eney> Report on llnKineiis Situation. New York, Aug. 18.— R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Af ter a great wave of advancing prices, optimism as to business is generally dangerous. But the top was reached the middle of March, since which time reaction has come in every great in dustry, so that consumers are a.~!:ing whether in some directions the decline may not have been unreasonably large, as was the advance, and whether buy ing on the present basis or prices is not fairly sure. There are further evi dences of weakness in raw materials, notably the break in structural iron, but each one is availed of to place heavy contracts. It is becoming more apparent that the bottom has been reached in prices of iron and steel. The decline was severe and recovery must be slow, but gradual advances and moderately increasing activity aro more healthy than violent changes. In no single division Is the improvement more striking than in any other. Ex cept steel rails, all forms of iron, frpm the ore to the finished product, are be ing sought more eagerly and with less effort to secure further concessions in price. The first effect of the report of the wheat condition, indicating a total crop of only 513.997,000 bushels, was to strengthen prices, but when the secre tary of agriculture was reported aa predicting "dollar wheat" before the end of the year, the market showed an inclination to disagree, and the Sep tember option fell below 80 cents at New York for the first time in two months. Failures for the week were 161 in the United States, against 156 last year, and 24 in Canada, against 24 least year. American Firemen Win. Paris, Aug. IS. —The preliminary contests in the international exhibi tion of fire apparatus came ofT yester day afternoon at Vincennes, some 5,000 firemen, representing many national ities, participating. The American rep resentatives, Chief George C. Hale, of Kansas City, and the men of the Kan sas City fire brigade, caused great wonderment by their quick harnessing and running, together with their methods of life saving. They received an ovation and. by common consent, were assigned the first place. w reoli Mny Cost Konr Wilmington. Del., Aug. 18. —A rrar end collision on the Maryland division of the Pennsylvania railroad occurred at the foot of Poplar street yesterday, by which two men had their legs crushed so badly that it is likely that both legs of one of the men, Frank Harley, of New York, will have to be amputated. William Zanner, of the same city, had both of his legs badly crushed. Both men were stealing a ride on a freight train, when a shifting engine collided with the rear cars. Fatal Dlweaiie Amonit Cattle. Tunkhannock, Pa.. Aug. 18. —An- throx has broken out in a herd of 150 cattle about throe miles from this place and five have already died. Parts of the diseased animals were sent to the state department at Harrisburg for analysis. A reply stated that they contained anthrox bacilli. Dr. L. E. Meade has vaccinated the living animals and has them quarantined. Onee Wealthy, Die* n Pauper. Pottsville, Pa., AUK. 21. —Mrs. Fran ces H. Von Benschoten, who is said to have been at one time a wealthy so ciety leader in New York, died here yesterday in abject poverty, at the ago of 71 years.

She is survived by children who reside in Albany, Brooklyn Heights, New York city, Washington and Stroudsburg, Pa. Killed IIIN Father In Self Uefenne. Lincoln, Nebb. Aug. 20. —James M. Burnham. publisher of The Wvmoran. at Wymora, Neb., shot and killed his father, Capt. Collins A. Burnham, at their home yesterday. A coroner's jury exonerated the son. Capt.
