It destroyed the wharves and freight houses of the Bay Line Steamboat Company, two large schooners, the offices of James Corner & Sons, dealers in naval stores, and other property, including several thou­ sand bales of cotton, 1,000 barrels of whisky, and general jaierehandise in tore for shipment. Theure was caused by the intense heat inducing spontane­ ous combustion in the bales of cotton, and the temperature on the wharf being over 100 degrees about the time the tire started. The Bay Line wharf was 500 feet long, with 20o feet water front, and had on it a largo warehouse, a big laundry, and a newly erected office building. Total loss, $1,200,000. WESTERN."

SINCE the death of President Polk, of the Farmers' Alliance, thero has been talk of the domination by the People's party of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, for President, and Congressman Wat son, of Georgia, for Vice President. AT Wichita, Kan., the Farmers' Al­ liance Convention of the Seventh Con­ gressional District on Tuesday after­ noon renominated Jerry Simpson by acclamation.

A NEW YORK dispatch says: Up to date tho managers of Senator Hill's canvass for the Presidential nomination have not given out any figures tending to verify their claim that the Senator has more than an even chance to win at Chicago. One day last week a very prominent leader of Tammany said that Hill would have at least 260 votes on the first ballot and Cleveland probably 500. There has been a tally kept of the prefer­ ences of delegates so fa|^ as eould be ascertained.

The Sheriff arrested Sam Jones and Henry Smith at Indianapolis as the cracksmen and landed them, in jail. Thirteen hundred dollars was found in their possession. LIGHTNING displayed its terrific, un- cxplainable power in a shocking manner Thursday nieht at Chicago. During the thunder-storm shortly after 6 o'clock a bolt struck the bronze horse of the Grant monument in Lincoln Park. At the time no less than forty people were crowded in the open corridor just be­ neath the pedestal on which the bronze work rests. There was a blinding flash, a loud report, and all who were under Ihe shelter were thrown off their feet. Three people, two men and a woman, were instantly kilted. All received a terrible shock, but only four were so badly injured that they required im­ mediate attention. s WITH a roar equal to the din of twenty railway trains running over a score of Iron bridges, a great cyclone swept over the Southern Minnesota counties of Jack­ son, Martin, Faribault, Freeborn, Mower and Fillmore Wednesday alternoon. The storm began about seven miles west of the village of Jackson, moved eastward over the villages of Sher­ burne and Wells, in Martin County, passed lightly over Faribault County, created great havo3 in Freeborn, and Bpent itself iji th£ two counties fur­ ther ea*t. '/he lols of liTe has been very heavy, how much so will not be known for several days, as rail­ way trains are abandoned because of washed-out bridges and tracks. Wagon roads are flooded and wholly impassa­ ble and telegraph wires are in such a tangle that it will be impossible to put them to rights for several days. Be­ sides this the I06S to buildings, crops and railway piopertv in the half-dozen counties will reach $300,C00. The Root, Zumbro and other rivers in Southern Minnesota are raging torrents. SOUTHERN. THE Mississippi floods are rapidly becoming a thing of the past at St. Louis. The river fell six inches durfn? \wenty-four hours, and the water will loon be off the crown of the levee. As joon as the harbor boat can wash off the slime deposited by the water, operations there will be resumed. Farmers along the river have some hopes, of yet raising part of a crop. A TERRIBLE disaster, which caused the death of over fortv workmen, oc­ curred at the new bridge which is being constructed over the Licking River, be­ tween Covington and Newport, Ky. The entire false work fell with a crash, hurling a large force of carpenters and, ironworkers into the river. Most of tho men were disabled by the falling timbers and were drowned. The bridge was be­ ing built by the Keaton and Campbell County Bridge Company, and had been in course of erection for about a month. Tuesday the laying of the iron floor was begun. The heavy iron beams proved too heavy a weight for the false work and with scarcely a minute's warn- fully with these resulting totals: Total delegates, 898; necessary to a choice (two-thirds), 599; Cleveland 453; Hill, 336; Palmer, 48; Carlisle, 35; Bolefe, 26. These results are arrived at by split­ ting delegations, but It is believed most of the States will vote under the unit rule. If they do, Mr. Hill's vote would be reduced to 215 and Cleveland's in­ creased Io 577, or within 22 of the requisite number. FOREIGN.

Polk, President of the National Farmers* Alliance, is dead. The end oame at 11:15 Sat­ urday forenoon, at tbe Garfield Hospi­ tal, Washington, where he had been removed for treat­ ment. Blood poison­ ing caused by blad­ der trouble was tho cause of'his demise. The patient had- been lying seriously ill at his private residence for ten days. The result of a consultation of physicians was JUs removal to the Gar- Held Hospital, where an operation was deemed the only means of saving his life. He became unconscious, from which condition he never rallied, and it was decided net to perform the opera­ tion. When the end came Mrs. Polk, who had just arrived in the city, was at his bedside. Telegrams from all parts of the South were received inquiring after Mr. Poik*s condition, and he had been daily visited by prominent men of the Farmers' Alliance. Leonldas L. Polk was a native of An- eon County, North Carolina, and was born on April 24, 1837. He was a de­ scendant of the Mecklenburg family bearing that Same, and was related to Colonel Thomas and William Polk, brave soldiers of the revo­ lution, and James K. Polk. President of tho United States. His parents died while he was a youth. He was married when 21 years of age, and Was soon after nominated and elected to the lower house of the State Legislature, serving at the regular and two extra sessions in 1860 aud 1861. He enlisted in the Confederate army as a private, declining the offer of a captaincy, and served in the Twenty-fifth and Forty- third North Carolina regiments of in­ fantry till the autumn of 1864, at which time he became the army candidate for the Legislature, and was elected with practical unanimity. In 1865, against his expressed desire, he was chosen a member of the State Constitutional Convention. In 1877 he was elected Commissioner of Agriculture for his State. He had meantime con­ tinued on his farm and left it with great reluctance to attend to his official duties. In every instance the offices bestowed upon him sought the man, not the man the office He was one of the earliest advocates of the establishment of a de­ partment of agriculture. In 1880 he be­ gan the publication of the Progressive Farmer, and at the same time began the organization of farmers' dubs, and 6oon had 500 chartered and in active working order. He also advocated the establishment of an agricultural and and mechanical college and his plan was finally adopted by the State. He brought the alliance before the people and at its organization in North Carolina he became its State Secretary and through his influence the farmers' clubs previously organized by him be­ came a part of the new organization. He was the first Wee President of the alliance in 1887, and in 1889 was chosen a delegate to the national convention of the order held in St. Louis, in December, 1889, and took an active part in its de­ liberations. When the Interstate Farm­ ers' Association, composed of delegates from all cotton States, was organ­ ized in 1887, Colonel Polk was elect­ ed President by acclamation. , He was twice re-elected to that position without contest. At the convention in St. Louis in December, 1889, Col. Polk was chosen President of the National Farmers' Alliance, and held that posi­ tion continuously up to the date of his death. Under his management the or- deer had a marvelous growth, especially in the South and West, and its influence was shown by the election of members of Congress in North Carolina, Georgia, Kansas and Minnesota, and has made great progress in other States, notably Illinois and Indiana, where in a number of districts it holds the balance of powef. Colonel Polk possessed great per­ sonal magnetism, and was an excellent organizer, a good parliamentarian, and a pleasing public speaker. He was in the farmers' movement from DO motives of personal ambition or profit, for he sacrificed much more than he ever could hope to gain from the success of his ideas and plans. He was earnest, en­ thusiastic and sincere, laboring with all his energies for the good of his fel­ low farmers and the nation at large. If he had lived he would undoubtedly have been the candidate of the Alliance for President of the United States at the election in November next. The funeral was held at Raleigh, N. C., his home, Sunday. The train bear­ ing the body did not arrivo until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was met at the depot by hundreds of people. The procession was formed and the body was escorted to th§ first Baptist Church, of which Mr. Polk was a com­ municant. By 4 o'clock the church was packed, the audience numbering at least a thousand. Among those pres­ ent were Gov. Holt and all the State officers, members ol the Su­ preme Court, officers of the State Farmers' Alliance, and Grand Sire Buissee, of tho Sovereign Grand Lodge Odd Fellows. The service? were conducted by Rev. IJrSt W. Carter^ T. E. Skinner and J. J. Hall. The face of the dead was exposed, and after the choir had sung "Abide with Me" the en­ tire audience passed in single file by the casket and viewed the body. The casket was taken into and out of the church by the pallbearers, who came from Wash­ ington, and who, with ladies who also came, were given seats in front. At the conclusion of the services the Washing­ ton party returned to the train and left for that city. 8.00 8.00 4.00 .87 .48 .35 EASTERN. it" - I' THE Presbytery of New York received, Tuesday, the official announcement from the General Assembly that it had ruled for a new trial of Dr. Briggs on the charge of heresy.

A bachelor residing in lodgings umlrcsBccl one night by the sitting-room lire, wound up #hi3 watch, deposited it, vrtWi liis chaln, two seals and a rin# attached to it, on the cfaimney piece, and then jumped into bed in tbe next room. In tiic morning, on going to the chimney-piece for his watch, hb dis­ covered that tho ring, which t he Valued, was gone. No one had entered the room ex­ cept, the maid-servant, who had swept it early in the morning, and laid the table for breakfast. She was so pretty, neat, gentle, and weil- behaved that the gentleman was loth to tell her his suspicions; but the moral certainty he entertained of her guilt, and the value he set on the ring overcame his scruples. On hearing herself chargcd with the theft, the maid started, indig­ nantly denied the charge, and burst into tears. The landlady espoused the servant's cause; strong language was used; the gentleman's blood was roused, and he brought the matter before the b^nch of magistrates. Though they were prepossessed by the girls looks and iiianners, the circum­ stantial evidence obliged them to com­ mit her to ̂ ii for trial at tbe next assizes. A few weeks after the gentleman went into a confectioner's for an ice creani. While he was pausing after each spoonful, he saw something glistening in the sunlight between the joints of the flooring. He inserted the point of his jpenknife between the boards, and to his amazement fished up his lost ring, \ ; He ran back to his lodgings, re­ ferred to his dairy, and found that on the evening he had left his watch and its appendages on the chimney piece he haa been at the same con­ fectioner's. He thought the matter over, and concluded that the ring must have become detached and fallen on the floor, where it had been wedged in between the boards of the flooring. 1 Stung to the quick bvself-reproach for tarnishing the good name of an innocent girl, he drove off to the Jail where she was conllncd, explained matters, procured her release, had an interview with the girl, offered her his hand, and in due time married her. Stories of Lucky Miner*, Tfiere is an ex-State senator in Beaver Head County who owns a very rich mine, the ore yielding $700 to the ton net. He is a California "41'er," who came as a prospector to Montana, and since discovering his mine has lived upon it in a peculiar way. He has no faith in banks. He says his money is safest in the ground. When he has spent what money he has he takes out a wagon load or ore, ships it to Omaha, sells it, and lives on the return until he needs another wagon load. There is a queer story concerning the Spotted Horse mine, in Fergus County. It was found by IV A. Mc- Adow, who.sold it to Gov. Hauser and A. M. Holder for $500,000 three years ago. They paid a large sum down in cash and the other payments were to come out of the ground. The ore was in pockets, each of which was easily exhausted. Whatever was taken out went to McAdow, who got about 8100,000. Then the purchas­ ers abandoned it, on the advice of ex­ perts. and Mr. McAdow took hold of it. He found the vein, over which rails had been laid for a mining car. He has taken out still a good mine. dten of luck came money, picked out then a poor seamstress, hired a hotel, and invited the town to the wedding.

Three were instantly killed. Of the injured one was picked up raving liko a maniac, two were unconscious and another sup­ posed to be dead. A little infant in the arms of its grandmother, who lay black­ ened from head to foot and almost de­ nuded, was taken away unharmed. The alarm Was given by a park policeman who had just left the shelter, and a few moments later the clang of the ambu­ lance bell parted the surging throng that instantly gathered about the scene of horror. The dead were lifted into a patrol wagon and sent to the morgue and the injured weire taken to the Ger­ man hospital. Lincoln Park was crowded during the afternoon with men, women and chil­ dren, peeking in the cool lake breezes and the shade of many trees to escape tho sweltering heat of tho homes and down-town streets. When, at 6:30 o'clock, tho eky darkenod and a storm- cloud blotted out the sun,.shelter was taken wherever it could be found. The pavilions ware crowded, and -many sought the questionable shelter of the trees. A large number were on the lakeside, and many were viewing the monument. When the big drops came down about eighty clustered about the great base of the monument, fully forty crowding into the little room directly beneath the bronze soldier and horse, and as many more standing in the roadway beneath. At 6:45 o'clock the fatal bolt fell, jarring the granite base and turning deathly pale with fear every mortal in its em­ brace. The scene that followed was appall­ ing. For an instant those upon the ground looked into one another's eyes, then followed scream after scream from the death chamber above. Men pushed up the winding stairs at either end of the arch, and when they looked out in the gathering gloom, made almost dark by the massive masonry^ not a person was standing. Then began the work of rescue. Men and women were lifted to their feet. Water was brought from tho lake in hats and sprinkled upon the blanched faces and consciousness restored to fainting ones, who hutrried away from the scene. SENATE AND HOUSE OP REPR SENTATIVES.

When once a man has established a home, his most . important duties are fairiy begun. The errors of youth may be overlooked; want of purpose, and even honor, in his earl­ ier days may be forgotton. But, from the moment of his marriage, he begins to write his indelible history --not by pen and ink, but by actions, by which he must ever afterwards be reported and judged. His conduct at home; his solicitude for his family; the training ot his children; his de­ votion to his wife; his regard for t, great interests of eternity--these a the tests by which his worth will ever afterwards be estimated by all who think or care about him. These will determine his position while liv­ ing. and influence his memory when dead.

St. Paul dispatch: The phenomenally wet and stormy season has culminated in a series of cyclone bursts, which occurred Thursday afternoon, and were spread over half the southern end of the State, extending from Spring Val­ ley, Fillmore County, on the east, to Heron Lake, Jackson County, on the west, and to Blue Earth County on the north. It was the fiercest and most destructive storm Minnesota ever knew, not excepting even the ter­ rible St. Cloud cyclona of 1886, in which eight-six lives were sacrificed. At this time only the most meager details can be gathered. Not only are the telegraph wires down in the section devastated but the train service is utter­ ly demoralized, and many of the worst casualties occurred in districts remote from either trail or wire.' Three distinct cyclone centers seemed to have been 'marked, and in each the havoc was frightful. It is now believed that near­ ly 100 lives have been lost, as nearly every meage<* report received here con­ cludes by saying the worst is to come, and later reports will swell the number of the killed arid injured. In every case there was the regular funnel cloud with its deadly sections, roar and restl* ss sweep, followed by a cloudburst. Nothing was left standing in the path of the cyclone, houses, trees and barns having been swept away. The storm centers seem to have been at Wells, Faribault, County; Sherbourne, Morton County; and Spring Valley, Fill­ more County. At Wells the storm came on without the slightest warning, the frightful roar or the apprbaching whirling column being the first intimation. The cloud veered to the south as it reached the outskirts of .the village, leaving a terri­ ble scene of death and destruction. So far as now known, seventeen per­ sons were killed In this immediate vi­ cinity, as follows: John Brown and wife, Herman Brenner, Mrs. John Matusick, Wealand Steen. wife and child, John Pic- tios, Wm. Pictlos, Mrs. John Dell, Albert Klingbert and two children, Mrs. John Joerson and two children. AH of these are farming people. Twenty-five aro reported more or less seriously injured, but in the excitement that reigned their names could not bo ascertained. The damage to houses, barns, cattle and crops cannot now be even estimated, but it will b? very great. At Albert Lea eight are known to have been killed, and many others are missing. Minnesota Lak 3 reports five dead. The cyclone was followed by a terrific downpour of rain, the water falling In an apparently solid mass. Every stream is out of its banks, and not a train is to­ day running. WashoutsCare reported in every direction, with bridges gone, trestles undermined, and in places the roadbeds themselves are gone. It is thought when communication is established throughout the stormswept district the list of dead will be found uot far short of one hundred persons. This and That.

The Element of Uncertainty in the Com­ ing National Content. When Washington was first chosen* President in 1789 only ten States voted, giving him G9 Electoral votes. In 188® the Electoral vote was 401, of which Harrison received 233 and Cleveland 168. The Electoral vote of 1892 has- been increased to 444, and it will require 223 votes in the Electoral College to- elect. The following table exhibits,the Elec­ toral v$tes cast for Washington in 1789,. the!^ Electoral vote of 1888, with the- States which voted for Harrison marked by a star (*), and the Electoral vote of 1892: 1780. 1S88. 1892.

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, with an ag­ gregate of nineteen electoral votes. AIL of them voted Republican in 1888, but. Montana elected a Democratic Con­ gressman and Legislature in 1890. This* large addition of States and yet larger additions of electoral votes multiply the element of uncertainty in the coming nation?', contest.
