St. Paul, Minn., July 7, 11 p. m.— J. J.
Jordan, editor o( the Fargo (N. D.) liepub
tican, sends the following account of the
storm to tne Associated Press: ’This city
was visited by the most severe windstorm
shis morning it has ever known. It began
Sit 2:30 o’clock and continued half an hour.
Earlier in the night there were some
■indications of rain, and about midnight
It began to thunder and lightning,
tout few anticipated a serious storm. The
•wind began to blow from the south, but
(suddenly shifted to the northwest, and in a
'very short time was blowing a hurricane.
“Three electric light towers were soon
£>lown down, leaving the city in Inky dark-
Sess, that was relieved oniv by the vivid
ashes of the lightning.
“The frightened inhabitants were aroused
[from their sleep and lights were shining
(from windows all over the city, but outside
(there was nothing but dark ness and tempest,
and nothing could be heard but the angry
roar of the wind and the crashing of flying
toebris.
SEVEN CHILDREN KILLED.
“By 4 o’clock people were hurrying in
very direction to ascertain the amount of
Damage done. Home appalling discoveries
were soon made, the saddest being the death
jof seven children of the late Capt. James
■McCarthy, who died only a few weeks ago.
The children, who were at home with their
mother, sought safety in a coal bin, where
they were all crushed to death. The mother
was seriously injured, but it is thought that
ehe will recover.
A TRAIN BLOWN FROM THE TRACK.
“A Northern Pacific through west bound
passenger train, after being stopped by the
force of the wind in the western suburbs of
the city, was blown from the track and
every one of the five cars turned over.
Many of the passengers were severely, but
not dangerously injured, their injuries con
sisting merely of cuts and bruises.
“The Northern Pacific repair and machine
shops were damaged $20,000.

estimated at $75,000.”
A STORM AT NEW ORLEANS.
The Interior of the Custom House
Drowned Out.
New Orleans, July 7.—A storm of con
siderable power broke out this morning at
IT o’clock, and did considerable damage to
build mgs, telegraph and telephone
poles and trees in this city. The
■wind came from the northeast, then shifted,
took a quick veer to the northwest, and the
storm broke with fury. Windows were
broken and trees uprooted. Tnere was the
liveliest kind of a time at the custom house
(Shortly after noon, and the interior of
she building now presents a deplor
able appearance. It is literally
Vlrowned out. Workmen are building
new observatory on the roof of the old
building while another gang of carpenters
Are repairing the roof. Water poured
through the openings like a miniature
[Niagara and flooded the entire front por-
Tiom of the building. A stream of water
several feet deep came rushing down the
stairs from the third to the first floor with
She roar of a cataract.
SIX INCHES OF WATER.
The water rose six inches deep into the
corridors of the second floor and then
soaked through, flooding the postoffice aud
ruining the walls. An unusually heavy
Bust of wind struck the scaffolding around
Che new observatory, and it fell through
the heavy plate glass that gives
light to the hall. The glass
fell with great force into another layer of
plate glass and then the entire mass went
spinning downward aud struck the marble
ball with a thundering noise. The planks
followed, and the hall was quickly littered
with a miscellaneous lot of stuff, which,
together with the water, gives it a dismal
Jbppaarance.
IN THE SURROUNDING COUNTRY.
Sr. Paul, Minn., July 8, 2 a. m.— The
Pioneer Press has the following additional
news from the storm district: “From the
■unrounding country, within a radius of
thirty miles, reports of damage to gro wing
crops come in. In many places where
•wheat was standing two or three
feet high and heading out reports
say it is badly lodged and
in some instances whipped and torn to
pieces or broken off, but in a majority of
cases it will not suffer material injury.
Farm houses, barns and outbuildings in all
directions are reported leveled to the
ground, and trees along the river banks for
miles in both directions from this city are
broken off entire, or shorn of foliage.
“Cassells reports bridges in all directions
•washed out or blown away.
“At Mapleton nearly every building in
the town bears the marks of the storm. No
one was seriously, but a number were
badly, hurt there.”

unknown murderer who killed Rich Perry
June 4 in Stewart county near Lumpkin.
THE HOUSE NUMBERING.

the Philadelphia system of numbering
houses, which begins anew hundred with
each block. The board of aldermen have
yet to pass upon the question, but it is be
lieved that they will concur by a large ma
jority. The matter is of great local
inqiortance, as muoh confusion tins hereto

TOM GOLDEN SHOTS A NEGRO.
A Blow With a. Ringed Hand the
Cause of the Firing.
Brunswick, Ga., July 7. —Brunswick is
on deck again to-night with a shooting
scrape. It is an outcome of a negro excur
sion that arrived here to-day, in which Tom
Golden, a desperate negro, formerly of Sa
vannah, shot and painfully, if not fatally,
wounded Jerry Hampton of this city.
Golden and Hampton were engaged in a
friendly boxing match early this afternoon,
during which Hampton struck Golden a
blow with a ringed hand. This
enraged Golden, who immediately secured
a pistol and began searching for Hampton.
Finding him. he deliberately opened fire,
and succeeded in putting four balls under
his skin. Policemen interfered anti stopped
the row, carrying Golden to jail, while
Hampton’s friends endeavored to relieve
him of his sufferings. Golden bears a bad
reputation both here aud abroad, but
would probably not have engaged in the
row but for the presence of the excursion
ists, before whom he wished to display his
nerve.

made an appointment. with the
woman to go somewhere, and she
failed to be on hand. He hunted her
up, and was escorting her home apparently
in good humor when suddenly he turned
on her and gave her a terrible gash across
her throat with a razor, nearly severing the

woman was carried to her home. She will
die before morning.

! POLICE KKADY TO STRIKE
LONDON MERCHANTS FEAR A
RAID BY MOBS.
Clerks Bleeping In the Banks to Guard
the Vaults -The Police Demand the
Reinstatement of Men Discharged
From the Force Conflicts With
Mobs of Roughs.
London, July 7.— The agitation among
the police force iv increasing. A constable
attached to the Bow station,who was trans
ferred to another division, attempted to
make a farewell address to his comrades in
the station house, but was ordered to desist
by an inspector. A disorderly scene fol
lowed the order. The assembled constables
ejected the inspector from the room in
which they were gathered. He was then
seized by some of the men and thrown over
the balustrade and narrowly escaped being
killed.
While inspector Hanson was parading a
number of men in the yard a heavy spittoon
was throwu at him from a window, nar
rowly missing hitting him in the head.
SEVERAL MEN DISMISSED.
This afternoon the chief of police had a
conference with the Bow street officers. He
afterward summoned before him singly the
men who had refused to do duty on Satur
day, and instantly dismissed each of them
from the foroe. The men of the Bow street
station house were interviewed. They al
leged that only a portion of the number of
men who refusedto do duty were dismissed.
They all went to the street and the
news of the dismissals spread rapidly.
Policemen in uniform and civilian clothing
assembled, and special messages were tele
graphed to all the other police divisions.
Delegates from the other divisions reached
Bow street later in the day, and it was de
clared by those who were present that a
strike would occur to-night.
A TELEGRAM TO THE SECRETARY.
The constables telegrapheh to Home
Secretary Matthews as follows:
“At a meeting on Satur
day it was resolved that you bo respectfully
asked to reply to-day to the moderate de
mands of our petitions. All the divisions
await your reply, and trust that all the
men who have been suspended will be re
instated.” This dispatch was signed by
delegates from twenty divisions. It is
stated ttiat Sir Edward Bradford, the
new chief of police, has adopted
an unusual mode of procedure. Ordinarily
the reports of offenses against discipline
are submitted to the Scotland Yard
authorities aud the men implicated appear
when their cases are to be settled, but now,
it is alleged, such cases are hand
led hasiely and the men are
not given a fair opportunity
to make explanation. The Scotland Yard
people are making vigorous efforts to meet
the emergency, but it looks as if nothing
but an immediate reply from the secretary
will avert a most serious strike.
PLANS OK THE OFFICERS.
The men, it is said, propose to follow the
course pursued by the dock strikers. The
leaders will go to their respective divisions
and stations at 9:15 o’clock to-night. When
three-quarters of the night force
have arrived the men will form
three deep and await the
uppuaranoe of the men In the station houses.
W hen the latter come out they will be
called upon to join the movement. This
course, it is expected, will induce all who
may lie doubtful to cast their fortunes with
the strikers, and the night men will await
the arrival of the morning relief and en
deavor to get them to also join the strike.
Afterward all the various contingents will
hold a meeting in Bond street.
MERCHANTS ALARMED.
There is much uneasiness among mer
chants on the Strand end other West end
streets. Tradesmen are guarding their
shops, and in the banks the clerks will stay
all night. In anticipation of a strike a
riotous mob of roughs blocked up Bow
street and its vicinity this evening, pre
venting the constables from reaching the
station. The crowd becoming turbulent,
the officers endeavored to clear a passage,
and were received with shots and pelted
with bags of flour, and were compelled to
retreat.
A MOB AROUND THE POLICE.
When the Prince of Wales, escorted by
the guards, arrived at the opera house the
crowd thickened and turbulence ensued.
The police returned to duty as usual. The
Strand and other thoroughfares were better
policed than usual. The Prince and Princess
of Wales aud their daughter left the theater
at 11:30 o’clock and were loudly cheered,
the crowd singing, “He’s a Jolly Good Fel
low.” Further drafts of the Life Guards
arrived to preserve order.
A tavern which was closed in consequence
of the excitement was wrecked by the mob,
and the windows of other taverns were
broken. At midnight the crowd was undi
miuished and the hooting was unabated. A
steady rain was falling. Reports trom all
the suburbs state that all of the night police
are on duty.
The Bow street mob tore down tho rail
ings, shutters, boardings, etc., and used
them as missiles. Several persons were in
jured by being hit with atones, and three
were taken to the hospital. The people who
attended the opera were greatly alarmed on
account of tho disorder in the streets, but
they were able to disperse without meeting
any interference worse than the obstruction
caused by the great crowd outside of the
opera house.
A CONFERENCE.
London, July 8, 11 a. m.— The home sec
retary, chief of police and other high offi
cials met at the Bow 6treet station last
night to discuss the situation. It is reported
that the constables evinced much repug
nance to going on duty, but yielded to the
pressure of their officers. At this hour the
streets are quiet and the military have been
withdrawn.

London, July S, 3 a. m. —The Chronicle's
correspondent at Rome says that the pope

pation of his e and he is preparing written

BURKE'S BAGGAGE.
An Important Clew Discovered in the
Cronin Murder Mystery.
From the Pittsburq Dispatch.
Winnipeg. July 4.—Detective McKenzie,
the officer who discovered Martin Burke a
year ago, and und übtedly prevented the
escape of the notorious Cronin murderer,
has struck a clew to an important bit of
evidence that may eventually remove
the veil of mystery from the
Cronin case. At the time Burke
was arrested, through some mis
cimnco or stupidity the p dice forgot to look
after his baggage. It wus not until Chicago
detectives went to Winnipeg that the sub
ject of the baggage was broached and then
it was too late to get any trace of it. Sub
sequent developments proved that Burke
not only had a nig trunk which he brought
from Chicago, but that he had teen careful
to dispose of it, as well as bis railroad bag
gage check. All efforts to find the trunk,
which is supposed t > contain positive evi
dence of Burke’s connection with the mur
der have so far failed.
While the trial was on in Chicago detec
tives from that city made periodical trips
east and west on the Canadian Pacific in
search of the missing trunk, but they were
never able to get any trace of it, and finally
concluded that it had been taken by friends
of the fugitive murderer. The finding of
Dr. Cronin’s clothes und instruments in an
Evanston avenue sewer while the murderers
were on trial put an end to the search for the
trunk so far as the Chicago police force was
concerned, but Detective McKonzie has
never lost sight of the fact that it may yet
prove an important factor in the famous
case. He has found out that when Burke
came to Winnipeg he was accompanied by
a mysterious friend, who left here for the
west within an hour after Burke’s arrest.
Ho hail to purchase now tickets, rechock
two trunks which had been checked to Mon
treal, and he also made an effort to dispose
ol a ticket calling for transportation to the
latter city. It is now believed that one of
the trunks was Burke’s.
This assumption is based on the fact that
on Friday, Jui.e 21, 1889, there arrived in
this city from the south a man who regis
tered at one of the hotels as “James McCar
von, street, Chicago.” The street num
ber was first written by the guest, but a few
minutes afterward was erased with a pen
knife. The man mado himself acquainted
with one of the regular boarders in the
house, and through him was introduced to
the police and some business men, pretend
ing that his object here was to establish an
agency, though in subsequent interviews he
unwittingly acknowledged that if Burke
had not been arrested he would never have
been in Winnipeg.
It was noticed that he carefnlly watched
all trains from the west, and after he had
been here six days he met a party that
alighted from the Atlantic express. A
mero nod of recognition passed between
thorn at the station, but the new arrival
proceeded up Main street, followed at a re
spectable distance by McCarron. Turning
into one of the hotels the two men selected
a side room, where they were alone and in
consultation some time. Notes were com
pared und some papers exchanged. Mc-
Carron paid his bill and announced his in
tention of returning to Chicago next morn
ing. The supposition is that the stranger
from the west came through with Burke
and proceeded on his way, taking his trunk
with him, while Burke intended to have
gone east from here.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
The Btory of a Flag Torn Into Tatters at
Lee’s Surrender.
From the Jacksonville ( Fla.) Times-Union.
Dr. W. A. Spence of this city was chief
surgeon in one of the divisions of the con
federate army in Virginia, and served with
distinction all through the war. His two
sons were also brave soldiers in the service,
the younger having shouldered his musket
while still a more boy in years.
On the Fourth of July last the significance
of the anniversary and its man v associations
of the past set the doctor and his good wife
to thinking of all that they had passed
through, especially of their two soldier sons,
who long since crossed the dark river. lu
a well worn poekelbook that had belonged
to one of their sons are treasured many little
relics of the past, and among them a torn
and faded scrap of an old confederate flag,
which had waved over their boys at the
time of Lee’s surrender. Meeting a repre
sentative of the Times-Union on Independ
ence day, the doctor drew this old wallet
tenderly from his pocket, and in broken
sentences, his voice trembling with emotion,
he told the following story;
“On the day of the surrender the Fred
ericksburg artillery was heavily engaged in
the advance, ilaj. Brander came u;> in
great haste with Gen. Lee’s order to stop
firing. Tho battle was lost. Universal dis
tress overwhelmed the troops. There was
not a soldier in the ranks that did not give
way to tears. General confusion prevailed,
and no one seemed to kno w exactly what
to do. My two sons were in that company
at the time, and the younger one, William
A. Spence, exclaimed lo his comrades,
‘Wo will never deliver up our flag!’ And
at his suggestion the soldiers tore it into
fragments and distributed the pieces
among the members of th 9 company. I
have the two pieces that fell to my sons,
who are both dead now. The company had
been almost constantly engaged in the Vir
ginia campaigns, and the company’s colors
had inscribed across them the names of all
the twenty-seven battles which the men hat
fought. The Fredericksburg artillery was
composed of the very best material in the
army Its members had been volunteers
from tho very beginning of tho war—young
men of the best standing in Virginia, full of
patriotism and enthusiasm.
A SIROCCO IN THE'WEST.
Indications of the Hottest Wave on
Record.
Chicago, July 7. —According to the pre
dictions of the local signal service official
aud in view of all the surrounding condi
tions Chicago and the northwest are in for
another spell of hot weather, which is likely
to surpass the one of a few days ngo not
only in extent but in durati n and intensity.
At various points west yesterday the mer
cury reached 100". Valentine, Neb., shows
a maximum of 102° for two days. “If
the wind remains southerly,” said
Sergeant Frankenfield last night, “and the
indications are that it will, it will be be
tween 90 3 and 9C in the shade in Chicago
to-morrow. To-day it was 87° at 4 o’clock.
There is no rain in sight” This prediction
seems fair to be fulfilled to the letter. Early
this morning the sigoai service thermome
ter marked 70', and the temperature has
been rapidly elimbliug ever since. At 10
o’clock it stood at 85'. A hot, drv wind
from the prairies which stretch away al
most without interruption to the south and
west for hundreds of miles, has been blow
ing since morning.

A PRISON CELEBRATION.
How the Convicts at Joliet EDjoyed
the Fourth.
From the St. Louis Itepubtic.
Joliet, 111., July 4. AU the convict*
were let out as usual to mingle together in
the yard to celebrate the Fourth for two
hours and a half as they pleased. At 9
o’clock a. m. Warden Berggren addressed
them all in line after they had been inarched
rut in the yard in front of the grandstand.
He told them that he was going to gia' t
them their accustomed Fourth of July treat
and said that Leaven smiled propitiously on
them with cool weather. He hoped they
would maintain order and enjoy then
selves. He gave the order to break
ranks, and such a shout as went up
only could come from the throats of
1,400 glad men, and such a scene of delight
can only half tie imagined. The convicts
greeted eacji other, hugged each other,
shook hands, talked, laugi.ed, yelled.danced,
sang and leaped for joy. ’About forty
negroes kept the visitors convulsed with
laughter by their songs and dances on a
raised platform. The music of the baud
inspired them, and it seemed as if they
could not stop dancing. The anarchists got
together and quietly chatted. They look
pale and worn. The Cronin prisoners also
got off by themselves and talked in an un
dertone after greeting each ether heartily.
Burke aud Coughlin are much thinner, and
the big detective actually looks worn out.
He is gaunt and cadaverous, and looks as if
he would not live six mouths longer. He
said it was a terrible place, and he
was getting embittered against mankind
and tired of life. Yet he spoke well of his
keeper. Burke said it was hell on earth,
but he could stand almost anything. Cough
lin said he thought by taking their cases up
to the supreme court one at a time they
would soon get their liberly. O’Sullivan is
in the best of health, and is confident that
he will soon be free. At 11:30 o’clock the
whistle blew, the convicts bade each other
good-by for another year, and, falling into
line, marched to their celis, where they ate
a splendid dinner and smoked their cigars.
The prison was gaily decorated with na
tional colors.
