CHESTER A ARTHUR,
j of New York.
The Platform.
The "Republican party in National
Conventi&n assembled, at the end of
twenty years,, since the Tederal Gov
ernment was first committed to its
charge, submits -to the people of the
United States this brief report of its
administration. It suppressed a re
bellion, which had armed nearly a
million of men to subvert the Nation
al authority. It reconstructed the
r union of the States with freedom in
stead of slavery as its corner-stone. It
transformed 4,000,000 of human beings
from the likeness of things to the rank
of eitifceos. It relieved Congress from
the luiaicous work of hunting fugitive
slaves and charged it to see that slavery
does not exist It has raised tho value
of our paper currency from S3 per ceut
to the par of gold. It has restored up
on aolid basis payment iu coin for all
thcvation:il obligations, and has given
as a currtmcyalwolutely good and eqiuri
in evcrv part of our extended country.
It has lifted the credit of the nation
from, the-point where 6 per cent bonds
soldittSOctothat where 4 per cent
bonds are eagerly soughtat a premium.
Under ils administration railways have
increased from 31,000 miles in 1SG0 to
more titan S2.000 miles in 1879. Onr
foreign trade has increased from S700,
000,000 to Sl,150,000,000 in the samo
time, and our exports, which were $20,
000,000 Jess than our imports in 1SG0,
were 6204,000,000 more than our im
ports in 1879. "Without resorting to
loans It has since the war closed de
frayed the ordinary expenses of gov
ernment, besides the accruing interest
on the public debt, and has annually
disbursed more than 30,000,000 for
soldiers' pensions. It has paid $SSS.
000,000 of the public debt, and by re
funding the balance at lower rates has
reduced the annual interest charge
from nearly $151,000,000 to less than
89,000,000. All the industries of the
country have revived, labor is in de
mand, " wages have increased, and
throughout the entire country there is
evidence of a coming prosperity great
er than wo have ever enjoyed.
Upon this record the republican
party asks for the continued confidence
and support of the- peopte and this
convention submits for their approval
the-following-statement of the princi
ples and purposes which will, continue
to.cuide and inspire its efforts:
iftrafr We-afi!rm: thflt tho- w.ork of
the last twenty-one years has been
such as to commend itself to the favor
of the nation, and that the fruits of
the costly victories which we have
achieved through immense difficulties
should be- preserved;-that the peace
regained-should'be-cherishedr; that the
disseveredUnionv now happily restored;
should be perpetuated, and that the
liberties secured to this generation
.. should be transmitted undiminished to
futuue generations; that the order es
tablished and the credit acquired should
never bo impaired ; that the pensions
;nrmscd should be extinguished by the
""-iRBBfwiyment of every dollar thereof;
that ftliiHfeviving industries should be
further promoted, and that the com
merce, already so great should be stead
ily- encourngfu.
Second The Constitution of the
"United States is a supreme law and not
a mere contract; out of confederated
stales it made- a sovereign Nation.
Some powers are denied to the Nation,
while others are denied to tho states,
hue tho boundary between the powers
doleg:itett and those reserved is to be
determined by tho National and not by
the state tribunals.
Third The work of popular educa
tion is one left to the care of the sev
eral slides, but it is the duty of the
national government to aid that work
to the extent of its constitutional duty.
The "intelligence of the nation is but
the aggregate of the intelligence in the
several states, and the destiny of the
nation must be guided not by the genius
of any one state, but by the average
genius .of all.
Fourth The constitution wisely for
bids congress to make any law respect
ing the' establishment of religion, but
it is idle to hope that the nation can be
protected against the influence of sec
tarianism while each state is exposed
to its domination. We therefore rec
ommend that the constitution be so
amended as to lay the same prohibition
upon the legislature of each state, and
to. forbid the appropriation of public
funds to the support of sectarian
schools.
Fifth "We affirm the principles
avowed m 1S70 that the duties levied
for the purpose of revenue should so
discriminate-as to favor American la
bor; that no further grant of the pub
lio domain should be made to any mil
way or other corporation ; that slavery
having perished" in- the state, its twin
barbarity, polygamy, must die in the
territories; that everywhere the pro
tection accorded to the citizen of
American birth must bo secured to cit
izens -by American adoption, and that
wo esteem it the-duty of congress to
develop and improve our watercourses
and harbors, but insist that further sub
sidies to Private iersons or corporations
must cease; that the obligations of the
republic to the men who preserved its
integrity in the hour of battle areundi
minished by the lapse of fifteen years
since their final victors' to do them per
petual honor is, and shall forever be, the
grateful privilege and sacred duty of
the American people.
SixtJi Since the authority to regu
late immigration and intercourse be
tween the United States and foreign
nations rests with congress or with the
United States and. its treaty making
powers, the republican party, regard
ing the unrestricted immigration of the
Chinese as an evil of great magnitude
invoke the exercise of these powers to
restrain and limit that immigration by
the enactment of such just, humane
and reasonable provisions as will pro
duce that result.
Seventh That the purity and pa
triotism which characterized tho earlier
career of KuthfordB. Hayes in peace
aniwar, and which guided the thoughts
of our immediate predecessors to him
for a presidential candidate have con
tinued to inspire him in his career as
chief executive, and that history will
aocord to his administration the honors

suffrage, and have devised fraudulent
certificates and returns; have labored
to unseat lawfully elected members of
congress, to secure at all Hazards tne
rote of a majority of the states in the
house of representatives; liave endeav
ored to occupy by force and fraud the
places of trust given to others by the
people of Maine, and rescued by the
action of Maine's patriotic sons; have
by methods vicious iu principle and ty
rannical in practice, attached partisan
Iftislfition to aDuronriation bills, upon
whose passage the very movements of
the government depend and have crush
ed the rights of individuals; have advo
cated the principles and sought the fa
vor of rebellion against the nation, and
have endeavored to obliterate tho sa
cred memories of the war, and to over
come its inestimably valuable rasults
of nationality, personal freedom and in
dividual equality.
The equal, steady and completo en
forcement of laws and tho protection
of all our citizens in the enjoyment of
all privileges and immunities granted
bv the constitution are the first duties
of the nation. Tho dangers of a solid
south can oidy bo averted by a faithful
performance "of every promise wmen
tho nation has made to the citizen.
The execution of the laws and tho pun
ishment of. all those who violate them
are the only safe method by which an
enduring peace can bo secured and gen
uine prosperity established throughout
the soutlu "Whatever promises the na
tion makes the nation must perform,
and the nation cannot with safety rel
egate this dut to thestates. The solid
south must be divided by tho peaceful
agencies of the Ivillut, ami all opinions
must there find free expression, and to
this end the honest voter mustbepro
tected against terrorism, violence or
fraud.
And we affirm it to be the duty and
the purpose of the republican party to
use every legitimate means to restore
all the states of this Union to the most
perfect harmony that may be practica
ble, and we submit it to the practical,
sensible people of the United States to
sav whether it would not be dangerous
to'this dearest interests of our country
at this time to surrender the adminis
tration of the national government to
the party which seeks to overthrow the
existing" policy under which we are so
prosperous, and thus bring distrust and
confusion where there are now order,
confidence and hope.
The republican party, adhering to the
principles affirmed by the last national
convention, of respect for the constitu
tional rules governing appointment to
office, adopts the declaration of Presi
dent Hayes that the reform in the civil
service shall be thorough, radical and
complete; to that end it demands the
co-operation of the legislative with the
executive departments of the govern
ment, and that congress shall so legis
late that fitness, ascertained by proper
practical tests, shall admit to the public
service.
"We have been twitted for "kicking a
dead lion," by Blaine men. "We just
laid down a 131aino paper literally
crammed with little yelps and snarls
at a lice lion, whom Ave admire, and'
the wicked spirit of retaliation coming
deeply upon we felt like-kicking some
thing and- had to- take- rev;cnge on a
dead lion, as there was no live ones on
that side. Uutiecrimination; we ad
mit is unprofitable, .and we shall in
dulge no more in it. J3ut we wouldbe
an ungrateful wretch and untrue to
ourself did we fail to hurl back into
the teeth of the traducers of Grant
their malicious and silly lies did we
fail to defend him who defended us,
and our country and its free institu
tions; restoring them again securely to
the guardianship of the Goddess of
Liberty. Xo, "Let our right hand for
get it's cunning," etc., or words to that

A special "Washington telegram says,
"Blaine has met the greatest disap
pointment of his life, and looks some"
what dejected and worn. He is said
to have been even more sanguine of a
nomination than four years ago, when
he came so very near it. In the late
contest he had no ardent second choice,
and was rather indifferent where his
strengtli went, only so that Grant was
not nominated."
Some of our Democratic friends seem
to think that our statement regarding
the feebleness of Mr. Tilden is all bosh
Ycrv well, it may be: but we never
make such statements without good
authority. In this case it is the New
York Worlds a Democratic paper,
which recently said all, and much more
than we have said.
George William Curtis, of Harper's
WceJd;, speaks of Conkling'a matchless
effort in introducing the name of Gen
Grant to the convention, as "Conk-
limr's ludicrous sneech." Tne trutn is
that there is more real Republican loy
alty in that little curl said to adorn the
forehead of Conkling, thant in G. W,
C's whole body.
The Greenbackers had a "National
Convention" in Chicago last week, and
they made as much noise as if they
really amounted to something more
than a communistic mob. Kearney
and preacher De Lamatyr were the
lions of the occasion.
The New York Herald makes up
the slate at Cincinnati as follows:
Tilden, 1S5; Bayard, 129; Seymour, 60;
Hancock, 79 ;Thurman, G7 jRandolf, 18 ;

As General Garfield was on his way
home from Chicago, meeting with the
grandest ovations at every 'station, an
old pupil of his while a teacher at Hi
ram college, asked him, "How do you
like it, General, as far as you have got?"
"I don't like it very much, and I wish
I was with the boys at Hiram. This
business quite shuts a man out from
any private life," answered the Gener
al. He will like it better after awhile,
perhaps.
As the presidential party traveled
through Indiana and Ohio, Governor
Foster of Ohio introduced the candi
date for President and did the speaking
to tho thousands who gathered at the
towns to see tho next President. Fos
ter aroused intonso enthusiasm at each
point in Indiana when mentioning the
prominent part that State had taken in
tho nomination. An Jnter Ocean re
porter recording these items says; "An
incident in this connection will illus
trate Garfield's exact ideas of truth
and justice. At Elkhart Governor
Foster said: "Gentlemen, the credit of
nominating Garfield belongs to In
diana," when Garfield, who stood by
him, whispered in his ear, "Say follow
ing tho lead of Wisconsin." After
that, although it was obviously not so
popular a thing to do in Indiana, Pos
ter gave Wisconsin always tho proper
credit when referring to the action of
the Indiana and Wisconsin delegations.''
At bandusky the tram arrived an
hour earlier than it had been expected,
and there were not many people yet at
the depot. "Garfield, Foster and some
other friends got off to stretch their
legs on the plat form and be introduced
to a few gentlemen who had been ap
prised by telegram from I. F. Mack of
the early arrival. General Foster met
a man whom he saluted cordially as
Mr. White, and called out to him,
"Come here and trade knives with Gen
er.d Garfield," which was done, Mr.
White handing Garfield a black-handled
knife, and the General laughingly
yielding to Foster's insisting, handed
White his white-handled knife. After
boarding the train, Governor Foster ex
plained to your reporter the significance
of the performance. Five different
times four times when he ran for
Congress, and once when he ran for
Governor Foster has traded knives
for luck with this Mr. White and at
White's solicitation. Every time Fos
ter has been lucky and been elected;
therefore he wished to settle the issue
of this campaign by consummating a
trade of knives between them, The
good omen is further strengthened- by
the curious fact that the knife handed
by White to Garfield is the very one
'Foster- gave to White on the trade
'Which is supposed-to have made Calico
Charley. At every point in Ohio Gar
ffeld's reception was enthusiastic and
cordial to a wonderful degree. The
people often seemed almost overpow
ered with their delight at the success
of their fellow citizen."
Governor Foster made many happy
little speeches on the road. At Gar
field's home, where thousand's of his
old friends and neighbors had gathered
to greet him, during Fosters short
speech he said:
There were three candidates in that
convention, or two, more precisely
speaking, who were determined to carry
oft the honors. We, as Ohioaus, went
there in the interest of Secret-try Sher
man. We did our best for Secretary
Sherman: the Blaine people did their
best for their man; and never in the
history of any party or any country,
did the friends of any candidate stand
more firmly by him than General
Grant's favorites stood by him, their
courage challenges the admiration of
the world. Senator Conkling, of New
York, the great Senator, said a few
days ago that nothing but God could
prevent the election of General Grant
as the Republican candidate. I accept
Henntor Conkling as a prophet. God
has spoken, and General Garfield is the
result.
When Foster was done speaking Gen.
Garfield, being urgently called, stepped
forward and said :
Fellow citizens of my native county
and of my native State: I thank you
for this remarkable demonstration of
your good will and enthusiasm on this
occasion. I cannot at this time address
you in a speech, other than to say I
know all this demonstration means
your gladness at the unity, and har
mony, and good feeling of the great po
litical party, and in part your good
feelings toward a neighbor and an old
friend. For all these things I thank
you, and bifyou all good night.
At this place, Elyra, an Inter Ocean
reporter tried to question him regard
ing the movements for the next few
days, but the General escaped it all by
the reply that he could not tell until
he had heard from Mrs. Garfield. He
said: "I sisked her to telegraph me
here, but perhaps she will have ar
ranged a surprise for me by meeting
me here herself." He was right in this
imess. lor Jirs. uaruem was nere wait

Don Piatt's Capital, has surprised
the" people about Washington by com
ing to the front in defense of Garfield.

Garfield's character will be signal fail

The men who stood by General Grant
in the late canvass and in the national
convention are designated everywhere
as the "Old Guard." They will pass
into the political history of the
time under that title, and they
will deserve it. They never lost step in
turn only from Grant to the nominee,
and when the hottest of the fight comes
in November next the "Old Guard"
will stand like a rock between the
Republican party and disaster. Gen
eral Garfield knowing the men, will
have no uneasiness as to that part of
the line. Inter Ocean.

GABHELD'S EEC0ED.
Inter Ocean. "
It is astonishing how much there is
in the story of General Garfield's life to
excite the sympathy, appeal to the pride
and call out the commendation of
young men and old men who believe in
the dignity of American citizenship.
In 1840, an orphan boy struggling
along the prosaic dead level of life on It
farm ; in 1847, working steadily under
the hardships and drudgery of a canal
boatman's experience; jn 1849, an as
piring student supporting himself at an
academy; in 1S50, a teacher in a coun
try school, earning money to forward
his ambition to become an educated
man; in 1S34, a stubborn student at
college; in 1S3S, a young man strug
gling against the debts incurred in ed
ucating himself; in 1859, President of
an educational institute and a State
Senator; in 1SG0, influential as a man
and prominent as a politician; in 1801,
the Colonel of a Union regiment, and
the commander of a brigade, driving
forward with restless energy into East
ern Kentucky; in 1802, a Brigadier
General, and then a Major General; in
1SG3, occupying Gidding's seat in Con
gress; re-elected in 1S04, 18G6, 1308.
1S70. 1S72, 1874, 1S7G, and 1S7S, and for
nearly all the time an acknowledged
leader; elected United Senator in Jan
uary, 1SS0, and nominated President in
June.
This is the ideal career of the ambi
tious or aspiring American boy. Here
is a man who, beginning ,life as a poor
boy, has in truth fought his way todis-
unction. Pure and courageous as a
boy, ambitious and self-reliant as a
young man, tireless and brave as a sol
dier, aggressive but even-tempeied asa
leader in Congress, General Garfield
h;ts retained every friendship of his
youth, held fast to every comrade of his
soldier experience, and commanded the
respect af his co-laborers in Congress.
Such a man must command sympa
thy. There were in the convention on
Tuesday many middle-aged men, who
had begun life with him, and who, as
his classmates or his pupils, had mark
ed him ;ts the one man among their
number who in the ripeness of his
years should and would be President.
This was at the time the voluntary
tribute of his associates to the best in
tellect, the largest heart, the broadest
spirit, and the finest specimen of sym
metrical young manhood among them,
and wherever these men are there will
be enthusiasm for Garfield.
There were in convention on Tues
day many distinguished officers who
knew how much Garfield had done-m
planning and in carrying out important
campaigns, and hundreds of old sol
diers who were present when he rode
through the bushes at Chickamauga,
All these men know now Garlield rose
in great emergencies to an unaffected
assertion of his bolder and more cour
ageous self, and wherever there is, in
this broad land, a man who stood with
Thomas to stay the tide of cruel defeat
at Chickamauga wherever there is a
man who lay with sickened heart, dis
tressed body, and confused mind, when
Garfield's pale courageous face appear
ed on the scene on that dark and bloody
day of September 20, 1S03 there will
be comradeship, if not affection, for the
Presidential nominee- of the Republi
can party.
There "were in convention on Tues
day many Senators and ex-Senators,
many Representatives and ex-Repre
sentatives, who have been associated
with General Garfield for years, and
who know that however impulse may
have led him, that when the time for
effective work came he was always
residv to do it. anil to do it well. All
these ecntlemen, remembering Gar-
field's generous nature and high idea of
manhood, must speak, with his sixteen
years of continuous service before
them, words of respect if not of cham
pionship. Garfield's life is the story of a young
man who has succeeded through his
own efforts. Having passed through
all the trials common to boys and
young men in this country, he has
achieved the distinction which we
teach, as a part of our American sys
tem, all our boys to strive for. He is
from the people and ot the people, a
pure, kind-hearted tolerant, broad
spirited and distinguished man. He
was made a candidate on the sudden
impulse of a great convention fighting
over other men. He was made a can
didate by men who had listened to and
been moved by his eloquent plea for a
friend as distinguished and well-known
as himself. The very circumstance of
his nomination, and his own modest
bearing in a most trying situation,
crown the romance of his life history
with dramatic completeness.
Such a life record is a source of pride
to any man who thoroughly believes in
the possibilities of the American sys
tem of education and government. It
must be an element of strength to the
Presidential candidate of any party,
and, judged by this record, by his tal
ent, experience, and spirit, Garfield
should be a strong candidate for the
Republican party.
It is a good sign when those who
know a man best like him best. It is
a good sign when those who have been
most intimately associated with a man
arise promptly and voluntarily to tes
tify in his behalf. It is a good sign
when men are attracted to another
man because he is a man of heart and
principle. All these signs point to Gar
field as a strong candidate.
The neonle in his old Congressional
district nearlv worship him. and the
people where he grew up from boyhood
to manhood have a positive affection
for him and a pride in his record that
has never weakened in all the years of
his public life.
In 1862 Garfield's majority for Con
gress in the old Eighteenth Ohio Dis
trict was 0,525; in 1SG4 his majority in
the Nineteenth District was 11,771; in
1866 it was 10.SS6: in 1S74 his majori
ty was 6,346; in 1876,8.663, and in 1878.
9.613. The people who clung to Gid
dings with so much tenacity turned, on
his death, to Garfield, and have clung
as tenaciously to him. This is a home
record for any man to he proud of, and
it is a record on which the Republican
party, asking no favors, can make a
good fight.
The Democrats of Illinois are run
ning Lyman Trumbull for Governor.
Trumbull used to be a Republican and
left tho party with a sore head and not
for principle. At a ward Republican
meeting in Chicago a few evenings ago
Emery Storrs said "Trumbull was a
mere reminiscence!" .and that they
could beat him "easy as rolling off a
log."
Storrs is a good one. k --
The Inter Ocean says,"Thesolid South

0HESTEE A. AETHUB.
Was born Oct. ir, 1830, at Franklin, Yt.,
and ti now in the 50th year of his age.
While vet a very young lad his parents
removed to the State of New York, and
be attended school at Greenwich, on the
Hudson, until he was 14, ar. which ear
ly age he entered Union College, grad
uating well up in the class at 18. In a
few months he went to the city of New
York and entered the law office of the
IIon.E.D. Culver. Up to the begin
ning of the war he was engaged in the
practice of law, and was on the way to
a competency when the war broke out.
At that time the militia of the state of
New York, as in most of the various
States, was in a very poor condition.
It became necessary to at once put it in
shape, and Governor Morgan called up
on the energetic young lawyer to aban
don his practice and come to the aid of
his stat e. He was made quartermaster
and Inspector General, and with his us
ual impetuosity throw himself heart
and soul into his work, and within less
than a month the troops from New
York began to go forward armed,
equipped, and supplied. He was
selected by President Grant in 1S71 as
collector of the port of Now York,
which position he filled until 187S,
when he was removed by President
Hayes for, as was alleged, violating
the'civil-service rules, notwithstanding
the fact that an investigating commitee
reported that his office was a model.
Congressional.
On the lOthinst: the senate resolu
tion for joint rule on the electoral count
being in order, Mr White moved to
refer it to the committee on electoral
count. Rejected 102 to 00.
Mr. Blackwell said the joint rule
now under consideration was, as far
as it went, substantially the same as
the bill which the committee on
electoral count had reported, and he
would therefore vote for the support
of it. He contended that determin
ation of all questions arising out of
the disputed electoral votes belonged
of necessity to the two house of con
gress. Mr. Robeson denied the power of
congress, by virtue of a mere rule, to
govern their own proceedings, to make
laws and do aefs which are to affect
the government for all future time.
Mr Updegralf, of Iowa, opposed the
measure because it sought to takeaway
from the states their rightful power to
choose in their own manner their
residential electors. He opposed it
because it would at best only add to
the doubt and confusion which existed
on the subject. It ruthlessly invaded
the authority of a state because it
conferred on congress tho power to
appoint electors and deprive a state of
the constitutional right to choose its
own electors. The counting of the
electoral vote is in no sense a legislative
act; it is a ministerial act.
Mr. Saulsbury argued that the
presence of the two houses at the time
of opening the returns was not mere
formalit-, but that the counting and
declaring the vote was an act of sov
ereign power delegated to the two
houses of congress. They were the
factors by whom the result was to be
reached and declared.
Mr.Robeson expressed the conviction
that- the constitution in authorizing
congress to make laws to carry into
effect its provisions, meant only laws
not rules by which the vote of the
state may be thrown out. He there
fore argued that the proposed measure
should be in the form of a law and
not a rule.
Adjourned.
The St. Joseph Gazette, Democratic,
giving the result of the Chicago con
vention, pays the following handsome
tribute to General Garfield:
"It is useless for us to say that the
Republicans have made a mistake in
choosing Mr. Garfield as a standard
bearer, for he is assuredly one of the
strongest men the party could have
selected. Taking it altogether we think
it more than probable that he is to-day
the very strongest man in the Republi
can ranks. He is a statesman of emi
nent ability, and his record as a public
man justifies us in saying that he has
been by far more consistent and honest
than many other noted Republican
politicians who have occupied exalted
positions in the American Republic.
The Gazette does not believe it is right
to assail Mr. Garfield simply because he
lists been nominated for President by
the Republican party, and it therefore
candidly admits that his party made a
wise choice indeed when itunite'd upon
him as its leader in the coming con
flict. Senator Conkling, so well known in
New York and Washington, had been,
until last week, a comparative stranger
in the West. Many Western delegates
and visitors saw him here for the first
time, and all had a line opportunity to
study him. He came to the front at
once, as the leader of the Grant forces,
and for six days his every move was
watched by thousands who hung on
every word he uttered, and who sought
an answer to every puzzling question
in the expression of his face. Men
who opposed him and those in sym
pathy with him were always delighted
when tho exigencies of the contest
brought Conkling into action. No man
in the convention became better
known or made a more favorable
impression than he, and his trip West
has been advantageous in this respect,
that it has enabled the rank and file of
the Rebublican party in the West to
become personally acquainted with the
leader who has fought so many of their
battles. Inter Ocean.

A Cyclone in Iowa.
On Wednesday evening of last week,
a terrific storm passed through Potta
watamie county Iowa. The gathering
of the tornado, and some of its fatal
and terrible consequences are thus de
scribed by an eye witness:
The storm or wind clods were first
observed forming both east and west of
Wheeler's Grove, the point where the
most destruction occurred, and in a
short time came another. The cloud,
which was conical in shape, came to
the ground, near the grove, traveling
eastward. 'The track of the storm was
about half mile in width, ami -swept
everything before it, demolishing farm
houses, Darns anu otuer ouiuiuigs, aim
carrying one after another bodily for .
hundreds of feet, then dashing them .
to theground m pieces. At one place
a farmer's house, surrounded by a frail
fence, was picked up and then uasneu
to pieces in the yard, leaving every
board of the fence remain in its place
There were from fifteen to twenty per
sons killed outright, and many were
wounded, while others cannot be
found. Those known to have been
killed were Jesse Osier, wife and two
children: Wm. Pace, wife and three
rhildren killed, and another child fa-1
tally injured. Alex. Osier, wife and
child were earned in the air almost loo
feet and seriously injured, one child
fatally. A hired man, employed by the
latter, name unknown, was killed.
Other persons, six or eight in number
were carried away and have not been
found. In all about twenty are report
ed dead or missing. The scene after
the storm had spent its fury, is de
scribed as heartrendering in the ex
treme. Parents were looking for
children, husbands for their wives and
wives for their husbands. Notahouse
in the track of the tornado was left
standing, and there could not be found
pieces enough of some to start a fire
with. The storm did not last over five
minutes, and was not accompanied, by
rain.

poses to Stay There.
From the St. Joe Gazette.
The Baltimore & Ohio road proposes
to take its full proportion of the passenger-traffic
of the west, and, judging
from the way it goes at things, it cer
tainly stands the best possible show of
receiving the lion's share. Commenc
ing to-day its new fast train makes the
run from St. Louis to Washington in
thirty hours or eight hours quicker
than the fastest train by any other
line. This cannot but prove other
than an immense advantage to trav
elers for aside from doing away with
the necessity of so many extra hours
travel, it enables one to reach Wash
ington at noon instead of way into the
night as heretofore. The same saving
of time is made to Baltimore while to
New York and Boston tjie same is ex
actly as quick as the fastest trains on
other lines. In order that all things
may correspond the Baltimore and Ohio
has spared no pains to put its grand
double track in splendid shape; has
attached the Janney platform to the
passenger equipment, and in short has
fixed things as fine as money could
f make them.
And the comforts of the inner man
have been looked to as well, all the
dining halls on the line having been
renovated and the tables placed under
the experienced care of one of the most
popular of eastern men. The old B.
& O. has always been the firm friend
of tilt; WKnit nml rrrliltyttlj- Vlrwigito oo-

and firmer than ever before.
