drcd Sinai 11 House* Blown Down.
Sheboygan, Wis., Aug. 21. —A ter
viflc wind storra struck this city yes
terday,coming suddenly from the north.
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

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.

Pretoria, Aug. 20. —Gen. 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.

saint, there was a large gathering at
the Vatican of cardinals, bishope and
presidents of societies. Mgr. Ireland,
who was frequently applauded during
a speech of 20 minutes, spoke glowing- j
ly of the fidelity of American Catholics
to the Roman church and the holy see.
He described liberty under the Ameri

the pope, as the head of Christendom,
being free and independent to any one ,

as of right the sovereign teacher and
ruler of all nations and peoples, with

the Pennsylvania railroad train, which
left here at 10 o'clock last night for
Philadelphia, were derailed by enter
ing an open switch just as the train
was approaching the drawbridge at
the Thoroughfare. There were 800 per- !
sons on the train, and as the derailed !
cars bumped over the ties the passeng
ers became panic stricken and many
jumped from the train into the mud
along the tracks. No one was killed or
injured. This is the same train that

by some one placing ties across the
tracks a short distance from the scene
of last night's mishap.

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."

to wreck the outward bound Pennsyl

Atlanta, Aug. 18. —Governor Candler
has ordered out the Liberty Guards, a
company of the Georgia National
Guard, to quell an uprising of negroes
in Liberty county, in the southeastern
portion of the state, where the blacks
outnumber the whites three to one. One
white man was killed several days ago
in a quarrel with negroes and since
that time discontentment has grown
on both sides until now a race war
seems in full swing. Two negroes are
reported to have been killed for re
sisting arrest.
Thursday night a determined effort
was made to wreck a Plant system
passenger train at Aimars Mill, where
the ncero Small, one of those said to
have taken part In the murder of Cur
tis, was killed. The switch lock was
broken and crossties were placed on
the track, but the arrival of a freight
train ahead of the passenger prevented
the wrecking of the passenger. Three
miles of wire along the line of the
Plant system have been cut, It is be
lieved, by negroes. During the night
several negroes were taken from their
houses and severely whipped by
crowds of whites for alleged incen
diary speeches thoy had made. This in
censed the negroes very much and was
condemned by the more conservative
whites of that section. About 1 o'clock
In the morning a small shop occupied
by a negro at Liberty City was found
on fire. A crowd gathered and a man
named Gordon threw a keg of powder
Into the flames. Gordon was seriously,
if not fatally burned. It was with great
difficulty that surrounding property
was saved. The rumor then began to
spread that the negroes intended to at
tack and fire every house in and
around Liberty City. This led the
sheriff to call on the governor for
troops, saying the latter was beyond
his control. Detachments of the two

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.

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.

court of Pennsylvania, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the death of

STATEMENT FROM ROOSF.VELT.
' Ai a Letter He Stuten Tliat St. Pnnl
Speech Wit H Fit IniHccl.
New York, Aug. 20.—Governor
ftoosevelt yesterday gave out for pub
lication a letter which he hart written
on Aug. 9 to Gen. John M. Palmer, of
Springfield, Ills., relative to the St
Paul speech made by the governor, in
which he had been quoted ass making
derogatory remarks concerning Dem
ocrats. The letter says in part:
"You have evidently seen a r»onrt
which was not merely Karl' lf H * :t
falsified. 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

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.

yesterday in abject poverty, at the ago
of 71 years. She came here, poor, two
years ago and nothing is known of the
cause that led her to take up her resi
dence in this city. It is said that in

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. Burnham
was a captain in the civil war and
while a congenial man when sober he
was a fiend when intoxicated. Many
times he has threatened to kill all
members of his family. Yesterday
morning the father came home and
made an assault upon his son. The
father used a but her knife and after
getting his son in a corner was in the
act of plunging the knife in his body.
When there was no other alternative
the son drew a revolver and fired a
shot whicli went through Captain
Burnham's heart, killing him in
stantly.
