The family of Robert G. Kirkwood , jr. , in

it. It wub a ono and a half story frame house ,
In the house nt the time were Mr. and Mrs ,
Kirkwood and six children. The upper flooi
fell In such a peculiar manner as to form an
arch , preventing the great tree from crush

were thus caught in the wreck , but not in
jured.

An Unrounded Humor.
A great deal of excitement was occosiouci
'
on the streets yesterday morning by th'o re
port that a double drowning had occurred nl
Lake Mamuva Sunday night during tin
storm. A trip to the lake failed to verify tin
report. As nearly as could bo ascertained
the report was started through the finding o
an empty boat which washed ashore. 1
seems that n man nnd u woman pulled awnj
from the north shore In that boat shortly before
fore the storm burst and have not been sect
since.
It Is believed that they had not gone fai
nnd that they returned to the shore , landiiu
ns best they could nnd turning the bon' '
adrift. In their haste to reach a spot sheltcrci
from the driving rain. It was regarded as
] Kssllilo that they might have reached UK
south shore und remained there all night , bill
no 0110 had appeared from * that , side up U
yesterday afternoon , nnd It was not knowr
what had occurred thero. This theory 1 ;
regarded as Improbable , as they would * nol
have drifted back across the lake against tlu
heavy wind. The names of the parties an
unknown , but Is not believed that they were
drowned.

afternoon Smith , government leader , nn
nonnccd that the government had decided t
wltiidruw the license clause of the -local tnxn
tlon bill. Smith said the government hai
arrived nt the conclusion that It would bo Im
possible to pass the license olalis
In Its entirety. [ Prolonged opposltloi

proposals : 1. A certain portion o
the new taxation of Intoxicants was to be np
preprinted for the purpose of oxtlngulshliu
licenses. ! i. Power wns to conferred 01
county councils to purchase nnd extlngulsl
licenses. ! l. That the issue of new license :
was to bo suspended. The first proposal hue
received the assent of the house , so far a ;
England was concerned. The government
would proceed with the proposal as to Scot
land and Ireland. With the second proposal
the government would not proceed
but would ask the house to allow
the money for the extinction of license.1
to nccumulato until parliament should direct
otherwise. [ Opposition cheers. ] The third
proposal would stand.
Gladstone expressed partial satisfaction nl
Smith's amendment , but said the proposed
amendment threatened difficulty. Its cntlic
withdrawal would simplify debate.
Smith said ho appreciated the spirit In
which Gladstone siiolce , but the government
could not disregard the fact that the principle
of the purchase had received the approval ol
n largo majority of the house. [ Cries ol

NuinlicrB ol' Them In Chicago
DlKoiiHHliiK the Project.
CHICAGO , June 23. A largo number of
world's fair commissioners , representing
various states , have arrived in Chicago and
tonight In all the hotels world's fair matters
are being very generally discussed. Among
the most interesting conferences was that
between Joseph Hirst of Tampa , Fla. ,
and A. S. Mercer of Cheyenne , Wyo.
Hirst had much to do with the allotment ol
space at the centennial and almost entire
charge of the recent Piedmont exposition at
Atlanta. In talking of the matter of a site
Mr. Hirst said : "If we can be convinced
that the lake front can bo obtained legally
and will revert to Chicago as a park after the
fair Is over I don't think there will be a dis
senting voice. This , however , providing
there is room enough. "
"There's the trouble , " said Mercer. "I don't
think wo ought to open the doors with less
than ono thousand acres. Just look at the
number of states demanding ten acres each.
Some of them propose to do wonderful things
with that space. Utah proposes to reproduce
Salt Lake and the country before and after
irrigation , und with an exhibition of the irri
gation process. Colorado will reproduce her
mines and build a mineral palace. California
will make woudcrlul exhibits. "
"Well , If they really mean to occupy all
the space they ask for the lake front will certainly ,
tainly not be sufficient , " said Mr. Hirst ,
"and I am utterly opposed to dividing the ex
hibit. "
The gentleman also discussed the recent
sensational charges regarding the lake front.
Mr. Hirst said : "You may rest assured that if
there is any danger of that spot being ruined
for any purpose for which the city may dc-
sire it the commissioners will not aid any
such schemes. "

"Whether or not I shall accept the vlco
presidency of the Lake Shore is not de
termined. In any event I shall under no cir
cumstances accept the oftlco of director gen
eral of the world's fair. I could not do so in
justice to my own business interests. Of
course I have the Interests of the exposition
deeply nt heart and will help all I can , short
of accenting nn oflieo which will
occupy the major part of my time.
The Grant locomotives works will Mirely
bo removed to Chicago and occupy the
pretty green tract of land as contemplated. "
Mr. Jeffrey declared ho had not decided to
accept any present offer. His most intimate
friends say he would accept the vice presi

to keep his ofllco in Chicago. As President
Newell insists ho chall go to Cleveland , how
ever , ho will accept the ofllco of general man

Several houses were blown down in the
country and some were burned by lightning.

liossiblo at this time to state the amount of
[ lamago done.
The small crooks nro out of their banks
nnd in many places over a milo wide and
many farms nro inundated. This loss will bo
i heavy blow to many , as this county wns

made arrangements for its disposal.
