Taking every­ thing bafore it, it swept across the State just north of Emmetsburg and Algona, wiping out the town of Cyl­ inder, but mostly injuring the country districts. After passing Mason City and ruining the country northwest of Osage it bore off to the northeast, crossing the Minnesota line, and soon after lu o'clock wrecked the town of Leroy, where a bad fire added to the destruction. Spring Valley wa* right in the path of the cyclone and surfered severely. Turn­ ing again to the east the towns of Ho­ mer and Lowther were badly damaged, and at one time reported completely wiped off the face of the earth. After crossing the Mississippi and doing con­ siderable damage to farm buildings near Marshland, Wis., the storm seemed to have spent its force. A smaller storm did some damage at Dodge Center, which was not in the path of the main cyclone. The path of the s torm was not wide, but it had all the characteristics of the deadly tornado and the dimensions of a cy­ clone. Country the Heaviest Loser. While the loss of li'e is great, it might have been much greater had there been many towns in the path of' the storm. As* it wa* only a few vil­ lages were struck. The greatest de­ struction of life was in the vicinitv of Mason City, Iowa; Wesley, Iowa; Fer­ tile, Osage, and Britt. At Lowther, Iowa, where the town was reduced to kindling, no fatalities are reported, but seventeen persons were injured, some ot whom will die. In Minnesota, the storm seemed to start at Le Hoy, after traveling in the air for several miles. Five persons were killed at this place. At Chat- field, Minn., a dance was in progress in the opera-house when the storm de­ scended upon the town. The building was bl.wn down and many persons were hurt. Sixty hou es in all were demolished and 103 persons were in­ jured. The cyclone appeared in Iowa at about 8 o'clock in the evening, and was accompanied by violent lightning and thunder. After the death-laden wind came a flooding rain, which rendered the destruction more complete. There appeared to be three clouds, one above the other,, all whirling ia opposite di- rections,and when they came in contact everything in their path was swept away. The storm was eccentric, as in many cases houses were completely de- m >lished while structures directly ad- {'oining were unscathed.

The most disastrous fire in the his­ tory of Port and, Ore., broke out Sun­ day afternoon in the dock of the Pacific Coast Elevator Company, and raged for three hours, destroying property val­ ued at over $l,50;t,t00. The fire de­ partment was scattered about the city. looking after the small fires, when the alarm from the ele­ vator was rung in. When the engines arrived the nre was beyond control and in half an hour from the time it started the docks for half a mile were on fire. Nothing could be done but to let the fire burn itself out. The Pacific Elevator Company's mainlbul ding, the coal bunkers of the North Pacific Ter­ minal Company, and the Oregon Rail­ way and Navigation Company's wharf, 40<» feet in length, were distroyed. The elevator contained nearly 500,000 bushels of wheftt.

Mr. Whitney was to have been named by acclama­ tion. His refusal to run left the dele­ gates in $n exceed- lhgly unpleasant po­ sition. Fcrmtor Hill did not desire the nomination, and ^ while facing the con- vention from the yJthe platform de- D. B. HJLL. clared that be would not accept it. A scene without paral­ lel in the history of conventions,except, perhaps, that in 187ti, when Seymour was nominated by acclamation against the wishes of the majority of the dele­ gates, took place when the name of David B. Hill caused a stampede in his favor. Fifteen hundred people stood upon their feet yelling themselves hoarse, two bands of music tried to drown the tumult, and Senator L'avid B. Hill, tho chairman, pounded vio­ lently but ineffectually with bis gavel in attempt to restore order. It was a scene of disorder, but even of en- thueia-m that would probably not be witnessed in a decade. Mr. Bitt had finished his speech nominating John Boyd Thacher and been received with enthusiasm. Dele­ gates had looked at one another and expected that the nomination would be made by acclamat on. Even Senator Hill himself, with tho gavel in hand, had ordered the roil called ana breathed a sigh of relief, evidently be­ lieving the crisis hai p^esad. But a slight-built man from Alleghany County, who had never been known in the councils of the pariy, threw a fire­ brand which caused a sensation almost beyond belief. When the county was reached Delegate Reynolds arose, and, amid intense e'ilence said: "The united delegation fiom Al­ leghany County desire to plae in nomination for Governor their first and only choice, David Bennett Hill." Then occurred one1 of the wildest scenes that could ba imagined. Dele­ gates jumped upon the cnalrs, specta­ tors crowded into the aisle, hats were thrown heavenward, canes with rib­ bons waved wildly and men yelled themselves hoarse. The secretaries left their. desks and jumping upon chairs also cheered with the multi­ tude, Finally, from sheer exhaustion, the vast audience ceased its applause enough to allow Senator Hill's voice to be heard, and in a husky voice he said: "I am grateful to the Democracy of the Empire State for their courtesy and kindness and support ^in the past, but I must say to you that' 1 cannot be your cand'dale again for Governor." There were cries of "No, no," and "You're the only man," from the dele­ gates, and the applause was renewed. FUSION IN NEBRASKA. Anti-Fusionists Withdraw and Nominate a 8tr «l?h^ Tickef.
