At Cumberland thousands greeted the

a comlttee from Baltimore took charge
of the champions and escorted them to
this city, /
As the special train rolled Into Cam

does were exploded, and thousands of
throats emitted shouts of welcome. It
Is safe to say that half tho population
of Baltimore was crowded nq close to
the station as they could get. Those
Who could not get within sight of the
station exit were scattered'along the
lino of march.
The players and the cooimlttc of 300

a mass meeting In the city court room
at which several short speeches were
made.
Mr. Minter Wimberly offered a resolu

to ’the hearty support of Hon. John T.
Btolfeulllet, in connection with the other
candidates on the Democratic ticket,
nnd if Mr. Bolfeuillet had needed any
further vindication than had already
been given him by the commlttd of
investigation, the unautmity with
which the ’resolution was adopted
would have given it to him. It was a
high und..lust 'tribute to a deserving
man, and one that conclusively proved
the high eoteeim in which Mr. Bolfeull*
let;Is held by his constituents.
After the enthusiasm aroused by the
adoption of the ireoohUton ha.d In <i
measure subsided, the crowd called for
Mr. Bolfeulllet, who responded, and in
a calm, deliberate manner made a de
tailed explanation of Clio, charges pre
ferred against him. It was tho straight
forward and honest statement of a man
who had suffered without cau3t\ and
the Immense ci'owd Showed their appre

Integrity nnd honesty by voting for him.

Several people are known to have been

Tho main portion of tho business centre

Incalculable, Tho total property lots will
probably approximate 1500,000.
The cyclone was accompanied by a ter*
rifle rain storm and the stocks of Roods
in tho business' hoaioes which were un*
roofed, though not othorwle wrecked,were
Injured by water.
The storra struck. tho state peniten
tiary, which standi on a hill in the west
ern part of tho city, with fearful force,
destroying the dining room, tearing down
the stables and shop* unroofing tho main
cell building, demolishing the wurden’s
office. Several of tho convicts wero se
riously injured, one of whom died bn
hour afterward.
Down town the lightning struck the
Martin block, corner of Spring and Sec
ond streets, totally wrecking tho third
lloor. A man named* Eaton was family
Injured there. Tho Tells building, corner
Centro and Markham street**, was un
roofed, and a part of tho fourth Poor of
Gleason’s hotel was blow away. At Mam
and Second streets the top* of several
adjacentb ulldings lie piled Up in an in
describable heap.
The worst damage, however, was dono

Tho cotton warolvouso on Keott ptrect'

ting off all telegraphic communication
with the outside world. The clly fit in

veritable stream of mud. Rescuing par
ties are busy searching for the wounded,
nut a list of the casualties is utterly un

Among thoso known to have been pen*
hups fulally wounded are O. II. Monroe,
member of the Arkansas legislature, nod
— Eaton. Ham Smith, a cotton buyer, Is
nlso badly injured. Others are known to
have been more or Iesa injured, but tho

All kinds of rumors aro alloat, one to
tho effect that the Innano asylum, in

but the asylum Is situated a mllo from tho

A number of lunatics have been captured

pear**,” slid he. “that a majority of the

though let off with a reprimand when
triad by the police board. There are
now In service ninety policemen who
have been convicted since January of
assaulting citizens in a brutal manner.
For the pifit three yearn there havo
be>en 11,000 trials of policemen, and I
now offer this volume as evidence.”

16 havo been retired. The offense*
charged wore <?pi>r'v*don, neglect of

days’ pay for carelewdy handling hte
pistol and killing a citizen. Then thers
wero two crises of tampering with reg
istry books on election (lay. There were
66 cases that weie still pending up to
May.
