WILLIAM T.OCHRYEN.,
Judge William Lochren, of Minnesota,
named to succeed General Raum as Commis-
sioner of Pensions, is widely known in the
Northwest, and popular. He is fifty-seven
years of aze, and was born in Vermont,
where he was e incated in the public schools
and admittel to the bar. He went to Min-
nesota in 1857 and practisad his profession,
but when the war broke out he was one o¢
the first men in the State to abandon his
civil pursuits, and enlisted in the First
Minnesota Regiment. His service during the
war was severe, culminasing at Gettysburg,
waere his regiment made tha famous charge
that checked Pickett’s onslaught. Of the
3)) men who made that charge ouly forty
came out whole, ani: youug Lochren, wao
startzd ou the rush as a First Lieutenanc
of Company E, cams out in command
of the regimens, every oidicar above his
grade having been killelor wounded. When
the war was over Mr. Locaren returned to
Minn=sota and resume i tas practics ot law.
He was popular and was twice tha Damo-
cratic caucus nominea for a seat in the
United States Sanat>. In 1882 he was ap-
pointed by a R:pudlican Governor toa
Judgeship on the cucuit bench, and at the
expiration of his appointmens was twice
re-electzd to the same placs without oppo-
sition. Hoa bas never sought offic: and his
popularity is attested by the tact that, al-
though he is a Damocrat, his candidacy for
the piace for waici he is nominated was in-
dorsed by the unanimous vote of tae Ra-
publican Lazisinture oi Minnesota,
THE VIKING SHIP.
ief the Lucky’s Boat Sails For the
World’s Fair.
THE VIKING.
The Viking ship, which is to be shown at
the Werld's Fair, Chicago, sailed from Chris.
tiania, Norway, a few dayssince. An immense
crowd gathered at the dociss and cheered as
the ship passed down the harbor, firing sa-
lutes, which were answered by the land bat-
teries, She will cruise along the coast in
order that the people may have an oppor-
tunity to see her, ani eariy in May will sail
from Bergen tothe United States. If the
winds and the waves of the Atlantic are as
lavorable as they were to Lief the Lucky,
son of Eric, and to Thorwold and to Thre
finn, and other bold vikings of near a thoa-
sand years 820, some fine day in that
month the pines and the hemlocks of ths
New England coast will see upon the hori-
zon a stout viking sea rover, with her great
big sail set, At her masthead will be the
red square, with the black raven flappiagits
wings, that flag beneath which the fierce
warriors of the Northland skimmed the
seas and pounced upon southern coasts, 0
dart away with boats laden to the guawales
and with the smoke of pillaged villazes ris-
ing as the mark of their scourge. 2
In 1880 near Sandefjord, at a village
called Godstad, they introduced a vikinz
ship, one of the smaller vessels of the navies
of those ancient days when Thor still ruled
in Norway. The Norwegians decided to
take this ancient ship as a model and to
Luild and send across the Atlantic suca a
vessel as had accompanied the greater ship
of Lief the Lucky when he coasted New
Engiand nine centuries ago. Un Feoruary
# this vessel, the frst of 15s kind to kiss the
waves in half a taousand Years and ore,
was launched at Sanaeijord. Shes saventy-
seven feet long, sixteen feet in tue beam,
and six feet from guawale to base of keel.
Her ruddepis at the right side, as 1n all the
old vessels, ‘There used to ba the “‘steer-
board,” whence the modern starboard side.
She will pull sixteen oars to the side, each
oar cighteen feet long. Her mast will be
fifty teet tall and the lugsail yard twenty-six
teet. The shields'which ornament the side
at each oarlock are thrae feet in diameter
and are painted black and yellow alter-
nately, She is of solid, c2ntury defying oak
throughout. It the old tasnion were strictly
followed she would have no covering, But
fome concession nas been made to the softens
ing effect of civilization upon the descend-
ants of the Vikings, and thers will be an
awning to shelter the rowers from tha spray
ant the wash and the rains which beat
without stay upon the bearded faces and
broad, hairy chests of Lie:’s hardy crew.
The crew of modern vikinzs for this ship,
which is to be called tha Vikinz, was selected
from a list of 280 volunteers, and will num-
ber in all about eigaty as good sailors and
is brave as can be found in all Norway, the
aome of brave and good seamen. The launch
went off without accident, but waile the
Viking was being towed by a tug to Chris-
tiania she and her tug were caught in the
ice. For two days her crew fought through
the freezing cold, and at last saved her fron
wreck.
She will make her first landing at New-
port, R. I., where is that tower from under
whicn came the skeleton in armor of Long-
tellow’s ode. Then she will coms down the
Sound and the Bast River and go up the
udson, through tae Erie Canal and the
lakes, and so to Chicago ani the Fair. She
will be received at New York with great
ceremony. ‘The first Sunday after her ar-
rival she will be escorted through the East
River by yachts from all the various ciubs
thereabouts, and there will be much firing
of guns and raising and lowering of flags,
In addition to the ancient standard of the
Vikings, she will carry the American flag
at the bow and a Norwegian flag at the
stern,

by a Whirlwind.
Robinsonville, Miss., a small town south
of Memphis. Tenn., was entirely demolish-
ed by acyclone Wednesday evening. Seven-
teen people were killed and 50 wounded. A
few minutes after the tornado struck the
town fire broke out in a Chinese laundry,
and the mass of wreckage caught and burn-
ed all night and day. Several bodies of
those killed by the falling houses were
burned to a crisp.
* Two clouds, one from the east and one
from the west, met over the town and then
began a rotary motion which tore up houses
and snapped huge trees like reeds. The cy-
clone moved west from the Mississippi riv-
er, a distance of seyen miles, and swept all
before it. Mrs. Emma Lusk was in her house
with her husband and three children. The
house was wrecked, the woman killed and
the three children were blown 100 yards.
They were naked when found but uninjur-
ed. The body of an old negro was found in
an open field. Itis probable that he was
dropped there by the wind. ‘The following
were killed: Miss Emma Lusk, white, wife
of night telegraph operator; Rev. B. R.
Shipp, of Olive Branch, Miss.; Isaac Chap-
man, Ben Ray and mother; Annie Shieg,
infant; three children of Manuel Murray;
H. E. Taylor's infant; William Warren,
Maria Smith and four whose names are
unknown.
The property loss in the town will reach
$100,000. Thirteen stores, six residences,
three churches, and about 100 negro cabins
were destroyed. . The number of homeless
people will Teach 500 easily.
THE WIND'S WILD WORK IN MICHIGAN,
DETROIT, MIcH.—A ¢velone swept over a
portion of this State Wednesday evening,
doing great damage and causing some loss
of life. Ypsilanti appears to have suffered
the worst. The cyclone tore across that
town from southwest to northwest. Its
track was not more than two blocks wide as
a rule. Conservative estimates place the
damage to the city at $100,000.
Near Royal Oak the wrecking of the farm
house of Christian Brick was followed by
fire and Mr, and Mrs. Brick were burned to
death. Their three children escaped. Many
other farm houses were demolish:d in that
vicinity.
At Dundee a church and about 25 houses
and 30 barns were wrecked When the cy-
clone struck the house of Jacob Hiser. a
former, he was killed and his wife fatally
injured, Many others were severely injur-
ed, .
It is reported that Saline, a town of about
1,200 inhabitants, south of Ypsilanti, on the
lake Shore road, was wreck badly, but
all wires are down and nothing definite can
be leased; At Clarksville one woman was
illed.
MISSOURI'S LIST OF DEAD,
St. Lovis—Though two nights and days
have passed since the cyclone tore its way
through Missouri, the reports of damage and
loss of life are still coming in The towns
which suffered most are comparatively
small and are all located in the northwest-
ern part of the State. A summary of the
casua'ties show the following list of killed
and injured, being corrected and verified to
the best possible extent:
At Hawkinsbank, Ma., eight were killed
and 30 injured. seven fatally. At Lexington,
Mo., five werk killed and four fatally injur-
ed. At Stanbury, Mo., three were killed and
two injured fatally. At Steelville, Mo..two
killed. At West Plain. Mo.. one fatally in-
jnred. At Page City, Mo., three killed and
four fatally injured. At Higginsville,Mo..
eight killed, three will probably die and 25
wounded. *
To the southwest of the territory already
covered is a large section without rapid com-
munication, and it is feared the mails may
bring stories of as great destruction as has
already been detailed. At Condray it is
known that seven were killed and six bad-
ly injured. News hasalready reached here
from Texas county to the effect that much
Jamage has been done and several lives
0-t.
HEAVY DAMAGES DONF BY FLOODS,

300 MINERS ENTOMBED"
A Frightful Disaster at a Mine in Wales,
A Gas Explosion Fires a Mine.
A frightful mine accident occurred at
Ponty-y-Pridd, Wales. A spark from an
engine ignited gas in a coal pit and caused
an explosion. Three hundred miners are
entombed in the mine, and there is the
greatest fear that they may have perished.
The rescuers who went down were driven
back without being able to bring up more
than five of the dead, and the fate of the
other miners is in doubt.
The most agonizing scenes are witnessed
and throngs of men; women and children.
relatives of those below, are crowded about
t.e mouth of the coal pit. .
The fire broke out in the eastern section,
from which 70 men succeeded in reach-
ing the suriace through the main dip. They
had a terrible struggle to get out; many of
them were scorched and all were terribly
exhausted. They brought no good news as
to those who were left behind, but on the
contrary expressed their dread that all
those in the mine had perished. :
In two sections of the mine the fire has
been put out. The extinction of the flames
has been followed in each case however, by
the action of the gasand it is feared that
explosions may follow shortly. The num-
ber of men still in the mine cannot be as-
certained, although it is known to be well
above 50.
THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED. EXTENT OF THE CA-
LAMITY NOT KNOWN.
Loxpox.—The latest news from Pont-Y
Pridd is to the effect that the fire in the
mine is virtually quenched. The fumes of
gas were, however, still so noxious as to
drive out those who undertook to explore
the mine in search of the dead and for the
rescue of those who might be living. Many
of the explorers are suffering severely from
the effects of smoke and the deadly gases
which they encountered, Furtlier search
will be necessary to ascertain the full ex-
tent of the calamity.
Up to Thursday morning 53 corpses had
been taken from the Pont-Y-Pridd pit. The
searching parties found no signs that any
of the misging miners were still alive. A
doctor who has examined the bodies re-
ports that all the victims died of suffoca-
