repeated st-.te uenls are made I hat
he will not aec pt the nomination

however, a stroDg party sentiment
which compels him to allow his
name to head the ticket. Judge

but with little opposition for con
gtes.-ional honors. The trreat stmu

At 5 o'clock this afternoon the
most terrible cyclone that was ever
experienced in this locality struck
this dty.' ft wane up the river
and the suddenness of its coming
was one of its awful fe.tures.
The heavens were as black as
night and the wind blew with tlie
most frightful velocity. Whole
rows of trees were blown down. .
hundreds of ho'. -es unroofed r
partially blown over, and many
completely demolished, and many
people killed. Lae districts in
several sections of this citv are in
absolute ruin.
The damage will reach hundreds
oi thousands ol dollars. A pas
senger Lain and locomotive at the
depot were blown over and every
wire in the city, electric light, tel
ephone and telegraph is down.
Fortunately no fires as yet have
taken place. The street is impas
sible with trees and fallen build
ings and the engines could not' be
drawn through them. The total
dead, so far as ascertained, is 124
men. A bouse on Scott street oc
cupied by miners, who had just
returned from work, fell in and
three inmates killed The huge
smokestack of the Kytle planing
mill fell on a man and two horses
and all were killed. A little
colored girl was killed by a falling
building. Two men suffered
death by the falling of a portion
of Stegamair's brewerv. and a
third incurred the same fate -through
the almost complete de
molition of S. S. Brown's brick
business block on Market street.
I here are undoubtedly 15 or 16
others killed. Manv poor people
re Buffering heavily and it will be
months before all the damage can;
oe repaired, rally zoo buildings be;
ing blown down or otherwise dam
aged. The Murray Shaft fan
louse was blown down and tbe
fan stopped. There are 27 men in
the mine, bat it is hoped they can
be got out safely.

I from Sugar Notch, a mining town,
mree muei rrom nere, that tne
destruction of property was terri
ble and 15 persons were killed.

CA.UUHT AT THEIR OWN GAME.
Hons Saarpers Taken la by
a Pa.
miliar Swindle.
One of our boys was over in tbe
Mohawk valley one day, and on
tnat same day a couple of chaps
came to town in a tin pedler's
w agoa. Tbey were driving a horse
that could have fooled no one but
a hayseed, says a story teller in the
New York Sun. This was when
2 :50 was a marvel.
The peddlers found the usual
crowd at the village tavern, and it
didn't take them two hours to get
up a match with the boss trotter
of tbe neighborhood. It was besx
two in three for $50, and the tin
wagon horse won both heats in 2 :- .
55. It was evidently a put up job
to skin the rustics, and as they ;
were heading our way we ' deter- S
to be ready for them. We sent
100 miles after a trotter, scraped
all our dollars together, and the
day the peddlers arrived we had
bun drawing manure with a. cart.
When tne peddlers arrived one
of them asked :
"Got anything in boss flesh to
brag of?"
"One purtv fair hoss." replied
the village cooper.
Van he go 7"
"Wall, he's cleaned 'em so far."
"Our old boss does a mile fairly:
we.l."
"Yes."
"And, just for the fun of the;
thing we sometimes trot him."
Yes?" '
Can't we get up a go?"
Wal, our hoss is no cheap ani
mal. We'd want to make it a
hundred at least."
"We'd rather make it $250." '
In ten minutes we had the
money ud and the race airraed to.
The peddlers brought in a sulky
tbey bad left just out of town, our
horse was provided with another -
and every man, woman and child
in that town turned out, The race
was square up and up, and our
horse got tne first neat by three
good lengths. The peddlers were
puzzled, but they had sand, and
each put np $20 more. The race '
was fair, and even lor a quarter
of a mile. Then our horse bezan
drawing away, and when he went
wauer ine Binnic no was tuiriy iee
ahead. The peddlers cave up the
stake, sat down by themselves
and bad a talk, and then the
spokesman moved over to where
the roopef stood and said :
"We see through it, bu : we can't
squeal. As for your getting an old
'ringer,' to match ours, we haven't
any fault to find, but what harrows
ns so is that we were taken in and ,
done for by such a benign old cuss
as vou seemed to be, but ain't I I'll
