ENTIRE MIDDLE WEST VISITED At Chicago the Storm Was the Most Furious That City Has Known ' In a Great Many Tears. Chicago, July 9. One of the most furious wind and rain storms known in this vicinity for years passed over the city about 6 o'clock this evening, coming from the northwest. The day had been intensely hot, and there -were many poeple out on the lake in - sail boats, and as the storm came up very suddenly it is feared that several lives have been lost The life saving crew have been busy all the evening tracing rumors of capsized boats. Up to 10 o'clock they had rescued the occupants of three capsized boats, all in a very exhausted condition. No trace of any others has been found up to this hour, and it is hoped that no more are out The police at Cottage. Grove, on the South Side, claim they distinctly saw a small boat with three occupants dis appear, and nothing was seen of it again during daylight The lifesavers from the South Side cruised around that locality for some time, but found no evidence, of a wreck. It is probable that more missing people will be re ported from the various suburbs at a later hour. Up to twenty minutes of the descent of the storm upon the city, the sky had been clear and the sun was shining brightly. Suddenly heavy black clouds began to gather in the northwest, and in a few minutes a terrible gale, ac companied by a perfect flood of rain and furious thunder and lightning, was sweeping over the city. Shade trees were broken off close to the ground; awnings and signs torn away, and much minor damage was done in the city. The wind subsided after about half an hour, but a furious raw con tinued for fully two hours. The parks had been crowded all day with people seeking relief from tne heat, and when the storm began there was a stampede for the elevated and cable cars. The surface lines were an equipped with open cars, and as a re sult the occupants of every train made a sorry looking sight before they had gone a block, and most of them after they had got a thorougn aoaiang, de serted the cars and sought the shelter of convenient stairways and stores along the streets, and there had to re- main until after 7:30 P. M., or take chances of another wetting by again taking the cars. At 11 P. M. , the police tninK tne fatalties will not exceed half a dozen. Charles Klein, John Boss and Charles L. Shook are believed to have been drowned. They were blown out into the lake in a rowboat and no trace has been found. Tbe yawl boat belonging to the yacht Hattie B, bas been picked up off Twenty-sixth street, but it is thought the yaoht has weathered tbe gale and made for this port ne small craft which were blown into the lake report thrilling experience. There were several narrow escapes from drowning. -. The telegraph and telephone service was completely de moralized. It was 10 o'clock before communication could be bad from Mil waukee. A cyclone swept across Crawford and Morgan counties about 6 this evening. Bat meager aooonnts have been re ceived. It is known that two lives were lost and a number of persons bad- lv injured, several fatally. At Will- ards station, on the Middle Georgia & Atlantic railroad, every bouse was torn to pieces. Henry Adams and B. Harding, colored, were killed. Build ings, fenees, crops, eta, on tbe Martin Plantation, were carried away. The parties who started in to follow the oatb of the cyclone have not returned. In Morgan county Henry Perry's house and farm buidings were blown down. ; Perry and his family were buried in the falling timbers. Perry is injured internally and will die. His wife's condition is critical. The borne of John Collier was demolished and two of bis children were mangled in the wreck. Bobertson's plantation was ; swept out of everything standing. The Robertsons fled to tbe cellar and i caped. Fuller reports cannot be ob tained until daylight Twenty persons are known to have been badly injured and the list of fatalities will not be less than ten. Joseph H. Wilson. Thomas E.

(Associ ated Press Correspondence) The ad vance guard of the revolutionary party, which, as announced a week ago, was betrayed by the Turkish government the night of Sunday, May 19, is now in prison in the city of Van. Only one member of the party escaped, and he, at the earliest possible moment, and at great risk to himself, put himself in communication with the correspondent of the Associated Press. The latter is now in possession of domplete informa tion with respect to the prisoners. But, as he is not disposed to furnish the Turkish government information, 'so long as there remains the slightest chance that these men may escape death, be holds, for ihe present at least, a considerable part of the facts concerning them. The men have been hiding in the mountains waiting for reinforoements and making plans for carrying on their work. The weather having turned out cold and wet, they went to the house of Habto, head man of the Tphiboupla, to warm themselves and dry (heir clothing, Hahto was . disposed to be friendly to the Armenians, as be was not a Turk, and great numbers of bis fellow-countrymen bad been massacred by the Turks in the Mosul district in 1893. .. Upon arriving at Hah to' s house, the men stacked their arms in the corner and gathered about the fire, there, Hahto's scribe, a Turk, While called insist- his master out of the house and ed that they be banded over to the scribe to the Turkish government I tie threatened to denounce Hahto government unless the men were be trayed. Hahto then called together a force of Kurds and Vezides and order ed them to make the capture. The villagers went into the room one by one and took part in tne conversation. At a signal they seized the guns and commanded the men to surrender. Taken by surprise the revolutionists made no resistance. Of the fourteen members only one escaped. Each man bad a Bedouin rifle and six of the party had revolvers. The prisoners were taken to Sevi the next day, aud then were marched sixty miles to Van, where they arrived Wednesday. Their arrival was witnessed by a large num ber of Turks and Armenians. On the way they were beaten by gun butts and prodded with bayonets, and otherwise maltreated. One Arrest Made. Sacramento, July 9, There is some hope that the men who "murdered old Juan Orellanda with a hatbet and ten robbed and threw his body . into the Sacramento river will be brought to justice. Last evening the body was found in the mud in the bottom of the river. The river front is infested with hard characters, who would not hesi tate to commit a murder for a small of money. Tbe old watchman, while on a spreee, had displayed some gold pieces in a saloon, and when he returned to the boat which he bad been taking care of he was followed and murdered. This evening a river-front man, Jack Dunster, was locked up in tbe oity prison by Officer Rutherford, on suspicion that be knows who com mitted the crime, if be did not actual ly have a hand in it The prisoner's trousers are stained with blood.

SCANDAL BACK OF IT. Some One to Blame for the Ludlow Street Jail Affair. JNew York, July 8. The escape of Kiloran, Russell and Allen from the Ludlow street jail yesterday morning promises to aeveiop a lively scandal. They were detained there pending ex tradition to Illinois for the robbery of tne opringneid postoffice. The officers at the jail have pretended to be greatly puzzled over how the prisoners secured the revolvers. It developed today, however, that the three prisoners had been allowed the greatest freedom. Women were allowed to come into the jail and associate with them, and only recently, it is learned, they spent a whole evening1 in the reception room playing bagatelle and dominoes with women visitors. There now seems to be little doubt as to how they secured the weapons with which they bulldozed tneir Keepers, Postal Officials Disgusted. Washington, July 8. Postmaster- General Wilson and other officials of his department are greatly disgusted over tbe escape of the accused post office robbers from the Ludlow street jail, Mr, Wilson today offered a re ward of $1,000 each for their oapture, and be also wrote a letter to United States Attorney McFarland, in whioh he asserts that be cannot avoid the con clusion that some one is criminally re sponsible for the escape. He declares his belief that those whose carelessness or criminality made the escape possible should be held to a strict accountability. Mr. Wilson as serts that considering the desperate character of the men and their well known criminal reoords, every precau tion should have been taken, and he also criticises the jail officers, for let ting the prisoners change their per sonal appearanoe after their incarcera tion with tne evident purpose of thwarting identification when arraign ed for trial. He refers, as having significance, to tbe faot that the pris oners were well supplied with means. A fter the Order of Enoch Arden. Macon, Ga., July 8. A peculiar Enoch Arden story, which is interna tional in its bearings, comes from Waycrosa. Dr. Brown returned a day or two ago, after an absence of twen ty five years, and found bis wife the happy spouse of a well-to-do citizen of this place. Brown is a Frenchman with an - in teresting history. When he left this country he went to France to look after a legacy, A quarrel with his lawyer resulted in the murder of tbe latter, and Brown was sent to prison for twenty -five years. The legacy was used up trying to acquit him, and when be was freed he was penniless. His first act on being released was to come to Georgia to see his wife, whom he had loved during all the years of separation. She had long since given him up as dead, and had been married twice. Her present husband is Mr. Thomas, who lives in this county. Brown's grief on finding her wedded . to another man was intense. He asked her and her husband to visit him, but she refused to grant his request. Brown has gone away again, discouraged and heartbroken. Iiarge De'alcatlong Discovered. New York, July 8. A special to the World from Guatemala says: High officials of the present government are said to be implicated m recently dis covered defalcations amounting over $3,000,000. The alleged stealing has been going on for two years. The money missing is said to nave been charged as expended for arms which never reached here. Frauds are also eported in the purchasing of railway material that is nearly useless. ' Both the oivil and. military em ployes are enraged over a report that the government is about to refuse to pay back salaries covering several months, due and unpaid at the end of the last fiscal year,-on tbe plea that a new fiscal year should not be responsi ble for them, and that as the last year left nothing to cover them, they must go unpaid.

Highest of all in Leavening CAPTAIN WEBB KILLED Fatal Plunge Down a Log Chute in a Barrel. IN C0EUR D'ALENE COUNTRY His Death Was Due to Ne sleet to Take Proper Precautions for His Own Safety. Coeur d'Alene, July 6. In all rjroba- bility Captain Paul Webb lost his life near here today in an attempt to ride nis submarine boat or basrel down a 800-foot log chute. It is believed his back is broken. About 600 people watched the descent into Lake Coeur d'Alene, whioh took place at Rosen's log camp, eight miles up the lake. On the arrival of the boats at 4:30 a log was sent down as a test. It oame like a flash of lightning. A mild rain was falling, whioh gave the chute a smoothness that added momentum to anything ooming down it The log passed down safely, and Webb's ma rine boat had been sent down in the forenoon with a suocess that gratified the hazardous man, who at 5 o'clock was placed within the boat for his last ride. The affair was 6 feet 6 inches in di ameter, and cone-shaped. There was a strip of sheeting lengthwise on the barrel to make it slide smoothly and prevent it turning over too frequently. On tbe inside it was upholstered with carpets and rubber fixtures to- strap a man in such a way that the barrel could strike on end in a 100-foot fall and not injure the occupant. Webb, when placed in the barrel, neglected to take all the precautions his machine offered for safety. He was confident as they tucked him in the fatal barrel. He told his manager to have whistles blown when be struck the water. The signal was given, and the barrel ran down the chute wildly. Two-thirds of the way down was a silght raise in the incline. Here tbe barrel jumped thirty feet in the air, striking on the ground on end, then rolling forty feet further down the hilL Many persons on the boat turned their heads with horror. Some fainted, as all feared instant death to Webb. When the bar rel was opened, Webb was jammed closely into the end. He was conscious and talked freely. Dr. Russel, of Spo kane, examined him and pronounced his spinal oolumn broken. A tug was procured, and the unfortunate man hurried to Coeur d'Alene and then to Spokane. - Webb Died at Spokane. Spokane, Wash., July 6. Webb died at 11 o'clock. His name was James Stewart. He was a photographer at MoMinnville, Or. Captain Paul Webb was a fictitious name assumed for pro fessional reasons. He was a cousin of Senator Stewart, of Nevada. Webb was conscious until nis deatn, but it was feared the accident was fatal after he left Coeur d'Alene City for Spokane. SOUTH AMERICAN STATES. Brazil Trying to Prevent the Depart ure of the Italian Minister. New York, July 6. A special from Rio says that the government is en deavoring to dissuade the Italian min ister from leaving there on July 7, as he bas threatened to do, in consequence of the delay of the foreign office in settling Italy's claim. The govern ment refuses to discuss the trouble with the French in Amah, and has es tablished a strict censorship over all news from there. At a secret session of the Argentine congress, it was voted to purchase from Italy the sister warship Garibaldi, which was recently launched. From Chili comes the news that tbe government of the country, besides the new Esmeralda, is having built a 3, 500-ton ship to be called the Con gress, with an armament slightly greater than the Nuevn de Julia A correspondent in Sucrucre,Bolivia, sends word that the political leaders there have demanded that the govern- ' ment publish the terms of the treaty reoenly arranged with Chili. The feeling against that oountry runs high in Bolivia just now. It is only, with tbe greatest difficulty that the au-, thorities can prevent an attack. Bushels of Grasshoppers. ' St Paul, July 6.
