D., a farmer's wife ha\4ng learned that the proceeds of a mortgage on her husband's farm had gone to defray a whisky bill at one of the numeroas "blind pigs," collected seven more women, and the eight sallied forth armed with pickaxes, hatchets, and other offensive weapons. Before noon the de­ termined party had broken up several "blind pigs" and utterly destroyed their fixtures and furniture. The proprietors offered but a feeble resistance, being taken by surprise. A large mob attended the women on their rounds and cheered them on. JUDGE MCCOXKELXI, of Chicago, has overruled the motion of Daniel Coughlin, Patrick O'Sullivan, and Martin Burke for a new trial, and sentenced them to life­ long penal servitude. The motion of John P. Kunze for a new trisl was want­ ed. The three murderers were taken to Joliet the day of their sentence. IN a public street at Kansas City, Charles A.

DAMAGE to the amount of $80,000 was done by fire te the stock and building of D, Crawford, the St. Louis dry toods dealer. Tha fire is thought to have started from an overheated electric light wire. Gov. WARREN'S address to the Wyom­ ing Legislature was a comprehensive statement of the condition of the Terri­ tory. The valuation for 1S89 was $31,- 431,495.

THE Supreme Court of Montgomery, Ala., has affirmed the opinion of the court below in the case of liawts, the Birmingham murderer, and fixed Feb. 28 as the date for his execution. THE President has granted a vepr'eve until Jan. 30 for Charles Bnllnd and George Tobler. two of the eight mur­ derers sentenced to be hanged at Fort Smith, Ark., on the 16th.

A BRUSSELS cable says: For sopie time past a scheme has been under con­ sideration contemplating the settlement and civilizatioh of the Upper Congo country by means of colonizing the region with educated negroes imported ^from America. The plan is rapidly ap­ proaching maturity, and has the approval of King Leopold and the bulk of the Bel­ gian West African traders. EMPEROR WILLIAM has ordered that the Kreuz Zeitung, the organ of the Con­ servatives, shall not be taken into any of the royal pal.«oea or reading-rooms, and that the editor shall not be received at court. The latter's offense consisted in bringing the Kaiser's name into polit­ ical controversies. A Bio JANEIRO correspondent writes under date of Dec. 23,1889: "The out­ look here just now is not reassuring. Parts of two regiments of artillery muti­ nied, tore up the republican Hag, and hoisted tfie old imperial flag, and it re­ quired all the other regiments, cavalry, infantry and artillery to subdue tltem. They fought at the San Christovao Artil­ lery Quartel, and 100 of the rebels were killed or wounded before the rest sur­ rendered. Twenty-one of the ringleaders have be on shot. None of the commis­ sioned officers were in the mutiny, but all the non-commissioned officers were. The trouble was owing to the d ssati-~.fac- tion of the soldiers with their pay. It is said that a number of the old Conserva­ tives and Liberals have been tampering with the soldiers, and were at the bottom of the raw. SiHereia Martins, Assis Mar­ tins, Bnrao de Lago, Dr. Lima Duarte, Dr. Ferreir Vianna, Minister of Justice in the last Conservative Ministry, and Commendador Braga, one of the leading merchants of Rio, have been arrest^I." IT is stated that the Pope and eight of the cardinals of his household are saber­ ing with influenza. FRESH AND NEWSY. THE financial circles of Toronto, Ont., have been greatly excited by a rumor that several clerks in one of the leading banks of the city had embezzled $100,000. The books of Ledger Keeper Harry Brown, at toe Ontario Bank, were „not properly clicked, and Brown, as it appears, al­ lowed two customers to overdraw their account $40,000_without the knowledge of t*3 managers. Brown has not been at the L-.ink for several days, owing to illness, and has suddenly left the city. An ex- uf.ination of the" books is in progress. THE President has not yet signed the pj»oclamation opening the Sioux lands in South Dakota, And may not do so until si-ring, as he is averse to compelling would-be settlers to camp out during win­ ter, and thuB subject themselves to bad weather. THE Farmers' Review of Chicago prints the following summary, giving the coa- di4 'on of winter wheat: Outside of Michigan and Wisconsin our cor. / »]K)ii(ientH as a rule report the condition of winter wheat equal to or above the average. AtnouK the few exceptions in Illinois our Jo Davie.-* County correspondent reports the con­ dition 00 per cent, tis compared with the aver­ age. l.ivingsfcon and White County corres- •i orult*te give the condition as 25 per cent, below tfee average. A falling off of 10 per cent, ft reported in about half a dozen other counties, but the majority report 100 per cent, or over, some correspondents estimating the condition at 1^5 per cent. The condition of wintfr wheat in Ohio is n.ppa»>ntjy the same as In Illinois. With few exceptions the condition ranges from 100 to 125 per cent. In Indiana, only four cor­ respondents report averages below 100. In Xanaas and Missouri three-fourths of our cor­ respondents report 100 per cent, or over. Re. ports from Kentucky -wheat fields are encour­ aging, as are s.lso the reports from the few counties in Iowa in which winter wheat iq grown. In Michigan'the condition of winter wheat is low. Three-fourtha of our correspond* ents in that State report percentages 10 to 23 per cent, below the average. The same is true of portions of Wisconsin, Waushara Cownty, for instance, reporting condition only 60 per cent. With this exception the general avert t*o for the State is higher than that of Michigan. We sum. marize as follows the reports of correspondents relative to the condition of winter wheat as compared with an average: Illinoii. 100 per cent.; Indiana, 103; Ohio, 100; Kentucky, 105; Missouri, 100; Kansas, 98; Iowa, 93; Michigan 86; Wisconsin, HO.

His death was peaceful and so sudden that the members of his family, Trho were summoned when it became apparent that the end was near, were unaWle to return to his bedside before he bi'.ithed his last. Walker Biaiue was the oldest living son of Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, and w.ss born in 1855. He had nlways been closelv con­ nected with bis father ever since he be­ came of age, and at the beg nning of the present administration was appointed Commissioner of Claims of the State De­ partment, which position he filled with marked ability. He was Third Assistant Secretary of State when his father was Secretary ia Gartteld's administration. On the Friday prev ous to his death he was attacked by influenza, but was doing well until symptoms of acute pneumonia appeared, and his condition became serious. Secret ary Blaine and family are completely p?ostrated. This is the third death in the family in a month.

When Judgo McConnell reached the others he a»sked Coughlin if he had any­ thing to say why sentence should not be passed on him. The big ex-detective was on his feet in a moment. He direct­ ed his glittering little eyes straight at the court and said in a firm voice: "Yer honor, I'm innocent. This crime was committed by persons I don't know. I was convicted by perjury." With a ner­ vous bow to the court to indicate thathe had finished he reached across the pris­ oners' row, seized John Kunze's hand, and wrung It heartily. Tears of grati­ tude and joy sprang into the little fel­ low's eyes. O'Sullivan. looking grim and deter­ mined, was on his feet before Coughlin sank back in his chair. "I, too, your honor, am innocent," he said, "and I feel that some day the. world will know it. I have been eon- * victed by perjured PATRICKo'sULLrvAJftestimony. I am not here to ask for mercy. All I ask for is justleo. If I am Innocent of this crime, I have not had justice; but if I am guilty, the State has not had justice." Martin Burke, with his long, heavy face glowing, his little eyes snapping, and his jaws working like an automatic machine, followed O'Sullivan. "I'm in­ nocent, too," he said. "In England I always kncyyLhcy put perjured witnesses on the'stanoTout * never kneW1 they did It in America." When he said this Mar­ tin sat down, looking triumphant and happy. He seemed to feel that he had unloaded a great mental burden. A minute later all three were on their feet, listening to the solemn words of the court that consigned them to a living death in the penitentiary. When they sat down again they were all pale and trembling. The ordeal wis too much even for their superb nerve. Old man Coughlin, the sturdy father of the chief conspirator, was sitting on one of the front benches, and in spite of himself teara came into his eyes as he saw his son marched back to the jail for the last time.

Bu0t?lnrs Overthrown, T*l«(r»ph WlfM Broken, and Several Persons Allied and Injured--^The Property Loss Will Ex­ ceed SIOO.OOO -- The Storm Oenerat Throughout the West1 [fit. Louis telegram.] . The city of St. Louis w*s visited last 8unday by a frightful wind atom which did great damage to prop­ erty, and resulted in loss of life. The storm struck the southwestern Bection of the city and swept through to the northern limits, making a pathway nearly a quarter of a mile wide and leav­ ing death arid desolation in its track. There was scarcely any warning of tho approaching storm, owing to the fact that tho sky had been overcast for sev­ eral hours before tho full forco of the wind was felt, and it was all over in ah incredibly brief period of time, those re­ siding in and near the path of thecyclono scarcely realizing What had happened untit-it was all over. In addition to dozens of dwellings and stores in the southern, central and north­ ern sections, of the city more or less wrecked, tfK'e following buildings were damaged: The Anchor mills, Goodwin candle factory, Pullman shops, Van Brock's furniture factory, Kingsland & Ferguson's farm implement works, Mis­ souri Pacific hospital, Hodgen school, German Evangelical church, Second Presbyterian church and others yet to be heal-d from. The losses on property are roughly estimated at $100,000, but will likely orovo more. The cyclone seemed to have entered the city in its full force at Twenty-third street and Choteau avenue, passing northeast until It reached Seventeenth and Olive streets, where it swerved, tak­ ing a direct easterly course to Four­ teenth, and then again turned to the northeast, leaving the city and striking the river just north of Tyler street. The only announcement of the approach and progress of the storm was a dull, sullen roar, quickly followed by a torrent of rain, which in turn was succeeded by sleet, and before the victims could real­ ize what had happened the storm swept by and on, leaving wreckage and man­ gled humanity in its pathway. Trees were torn up by the ropts and broken ofT, telegraph poles swept down as though mere sticks, while the roofs of buildings were lifted from their moor­ ings like feathers and tossed intu the streets. Mrs. Charles Miller, who resides with her husband at Twentieth and Eugenie streets, was sitting in a rocking chair, with her babe in her arms, when the roof was lifted from her house. She.rushed to the window, and just then the wall gave way and Mrs. Miller and her babe were buried under the debris. The babe mirculously escaped without a scratch, but the mother was badly hurt and may not recover. Mr. Miller was in anoth­ er part of the house and escaped unhurt. This is butone^f dozens of incidents of the storm. It is just reported that a number of passenger cars were blown from the tracks in tho upper part of the Mill Creek valley, the western outlet of the union depot yards. The list of killed, so far as known is as follows: MI?S. MAGGIE CONNERS, aged tf. BERNARD M. CONNERS, aged W JOE WEAVER, aged 8. WILLIE MARKS, aged 0. The injured are. TERESA WKAVEB, aged 6, both legs broken, will probably die. MRS. CHARUBS MIU.BR. badly. eat and bruised. * ANXIB COXNORS, badly bruised^. M-AGGIK CONNORS, bruised and cut bafily. FRANCIS CONNORS, slightly bruised. Dr. Nichols, who is attending Mrs. Miller, says that she is dangerously hurt. Tho babe is all right. The last death reported is that of Willio Marks, aged 6 years, whose parents reside in tha northern part of the city. He was in bed sick with a fever. The storm blow the roof off the Marks home and bricks camo crashing into the room, resulting in the death of the boy from sheer fright. The cyclone was of not longer dura­ tion than five minutes' time, but in that short space it left behind it a track of ruined buildings, unroofed houses, shat­ tered walls, dismantled churches and schools, wrecked factories and mills, streets heaped with debris,, telegraph poles blown down by thousands, the wire service of the city temporarily destroyed, and the usual dread accompaniment of loss of life and widespread Injury to human beings that left a panic-stricken popu­ lace gathering at every street corner to discuss the sudden horror. From the evidence of eye-witnesses the storm was an undoubted cyclone, dropping upon the city at about the inital point desig­ nated and gaining in intensity as it swept in a diagonal path toward tlid river. The usual sudden darkening of the skies at the point where the cyclone burst, the awful descent of the funnel- shaped cloud, and the havoc of ruin fol­ lowing its touching terra firma, are all told in the stories of those whose terri­ fying fortune was to mark the approach and passage of the hurricane. The telegraph and telephone wires were badly knocked out by the cyclone. Tho Western Union and Postal have been at their wits' end with but half a dozen wires between them, while 700 of tho telephone wires of tho city are down. A messenger Just arrived from the east side of the river says that the storm in St. Clair county, Illinois, was unus­ ually severe. Brooklyn, a village of about five hundred people, seems to have suifered most. Tho damage at East St. Louis and Venice was largely con­ fined to railroad property and small dwellings and telegraph and telephone poles. Brooklyn is about three miles north of East St. Louis. Its population is largely composed of colored people. It was first reported in East St. Louis that the little village had been swept off the face of the earth. It proves not quite so bad as that, though bad enough, and though several were in­ jured no lives were lost. A number of dwellings are in ruins. The Baptist church is entirely demolished, and the Methodist Episcopal church, a frame building, unroofed and turned clear around on its foundations.
