A prrat deal of consternation was created
Saturday nlt'tit between 11 nnd 12 o'clock by
a terrible coritmotion in the sicy northeast of
the city. Many people who had retired were
aroused b.v the loud roaring sound , and those
wtio had over had any experlcnco from n cy-
c'ono ' recounted the presence of the aerial
monitor b.v the hl h-pitchcd and angry roar.
I'ho upper portion of the cloud could only bo
seen above the hills north of the city , and
the course It was taking could not bo defin
itely determined during the evanescent
Hushes of the lightning. Muny people took
refuge In their cellars and awaited develop
ments In the safest place they could.
The cloud swung around from the north to
tlio northeast and dlsappa.ircu in that direc
tion. The roaring soung continued for thirty
minutes add gradually died away. Almost a
dead calm prevailed all over tlio city and a
slight shower mingled with hall was all the
storm experienced.
That , it was u cyclone was not doubted by
scores of people who had seen enough of
them to bo able to roco nlzo ono when they
saw it. The belief was general that the
coudtry north and east of the city had been
visited by a disastrous tornado , but as the
moat reliable information to bo obtained was
based iipcn pure conjecture the town returned
to Its beds after anxiously watching the
clouds for half an hour , expecting to get up
yesterday morning and hoar all about an
other ( irinncll horror. The play of the
lightning from ono central point in the clouds
was Incessant and the icy cold wind thin
c.inia from Iho north n few minutes after the
storm passed was regarded as ttio llnal proof
of the cyclonic character of the disturbance.
Early yesterday morning people living
several miles north of the city cnmo to town
to get the .storm news. Thov reported that
it had passed apparently ten miles north of
them. No tidings of any disaster , however ,
were received , nnd It the storm was a
cyclone Itcontinued high in the air until it
had spent its force. Many people took car-
llanos yesterday and drove 'out , in the
country in the fipprrent track of the tor-
nady , but returned in the evening without
having encountered anything moro ihun a
lot of tornl'ii d farmers.

Attorney General Stone has given an
opinion with regard to the power of the gov
ernor to remit fines that have been levied on
account of violations of the state liquor law.
The imiulry which the opinion is aimed to
answer \vas put to him by Governor lioies.
I'ho case in question is that of the state
against Jacob Ilowarth , who was tried on a
charge of violating the liquor law in Ear-
risen county. Ilo was convicted and .sent-
tonced to pay a line of $ . ! 0'l. He appealed
the case to Hie supreme court , after giving
bond. The decision of the lower court
was nfllrined , nnd as Ilowarth did not
pay. Judgment was given on the bond , and
it was sought to force the sureties to pav the
required amount. The sureties applied to
the chief executive and tried to Induce him
to remit the line by using his official pardon
ing power. Governor Boise was doubtful
whether ho had tbo right to do so. To sat
isfy the doubt in his own mind ho laid the
matter before the attorney general.
The attorney general In his opinion states
that ho believes the constitution uivcs the
governor the light to remit fines ot the kind
mentioned udncr such regulations ns have
been provided by law. The law provides
that ho may remit lines and forfeitures upon
such consideration and with such restrictions
as lie may think lit. Us thinks the main
point to bo investigated is whether the for-
loituros under consideration belong to the
class which , according to the wording of the
statute , it is intended to give the governor
the rluht to remit. Ilo refers to the case of
Harbin iiL-ainst tbo state , in which it was de
cided that the governor had the ripht to
remit a Judgment which had been rendered
upon a forfeiture of a bond piven after arrest
on preliminary information and pending a
hearing bofoao a magistrate. The court hpld
that u line In that case was subject to remis
sion by the governor , and the only difference ,
according to Iho opinion of tno attorney gen
eral , between the omul in the two cases is
that In tbo Harbin case the bond was for ap
pearance , and In the other was for an appeal
to the supreme court.

llnslifiil Bridegrooms.
MlniHtoi's declare that in nine CIIFOH out
of ton brides nro much moro self-pos
sessed than tlio bridegrooms when tlio
inarrlncre ceremony Is boitifr performed.
A fch.v , modest-looking llttlo urcnturo
tobed in white willt > tnndpurfcflly erect ,
looking thoministcrealinlynnd squnroly
in the eye without for nn instant losing
her frolf-poibo , while tlio biy , blunt six-
footer of u bridegroom bv her side is
pule nnd nervous und trembling. His
lingers nro likely to twitch nervously ,
'ind ho may even hitch lit his troubor
legs or twist n cornel' of his cout skirt.
I wnsonco "best mnn" to n stalwart ,
middle-aged bridegroom , noted for his
courage nnd fent of during , says n
writer in the Philadelphia Call , nnd
when the time came for us lo go downstairs -
s-tairs to meet the bride and hot1 atten
dants , he nearly had a lit , and ho looked
like a walking corpse till through the
ceremony. I had to keep saying ,
"Brace tip , old boy , " and "Come ,
come , you've got to go down , " to got
him started ut nil ; an-1 ivt the door ho
was idiotic enough to clutch at mo and
say :
"Say , Fred , how would It do to have
Mary and tlio preacher slip in hero and
have it all over with before wo go down
at ull ? I can't go through it before all
that crowd. "
"Idiotl" 1 said , briolly and pointedly
enough as to leave no doubt as to my
meaning , "Mary won't como in hero ,
and you will go down this instant. "
Ilo got through at last without doing
of saying anything ridiculous , in which
respect ho was luckier than another
stalwart bridegroom of my acquaintance ,
who was so dazed and overcome that ho
hold out ono ol his own fingers for the
ring when the minister said , ' 'With this
ring I theo wed. "
Another bridegroom I know lost
his head to such a degree that when
it came time for him to say , "I , Horace ,
take thce , Annie , to bo my lawful wed
ded wife , " ho said , 'in an un
naturally loud tone , "I , Annie , take
theo , Horace , to bo my lawful wedded
wife , " and when the time came for him
to introduce his bride lo some of his
friends who hud not yet been her ho did
it by saying , awkwardly. "Ah , or Miss
Carter , this is my wife. Miss Barton , "
calling her by her maiden nntno.
Few men say "my wife" easily and
naturally the lirst time they use tlio
words in public.
A funny ease was that of a badly rat
tled bridegroom who staren blankly at
the minister until asked if ho took "this
woman to bo his lawful wedded wife , "
when ho started suddenly and hastily
and said in the blandest manner : ,
"Ah ! beg pardon , were you speaking
to mo ? "
A village preacher said that ho once
married a rural couple at the homo of
the bride's parents in the presence of a
largo company of invited guests. The
bridegroom was u big , bony , red-faced
young fellow , who looked as though ho
could have felled an ox with his fist ; but
ho shivered and turned pale at the be
ginning of the ceremony , and at its
close lie fell down in a dead faint , to the
manifest annoyance of his bride , who
had bcon as cool as a cucumber.

IiicandcHcciit Lamp Tor Denies.
A new him ) ) has appeared which will
bo a boon to the = o who are anxious to
save ttio eyes all unnecessary strain
while carrying on clerical work. This
lamp is designed especially for desks or
tables where it is desirable to concen
trate a bright licrht for writing or read
ing , while the eye is afforded tlio maxi
mum amount of rest possible. The sides of
the lamp are almost straight , while tlio
bottom , or largo end , is as nearly Hat
as possible. It in claimed that the
straight lines provide better rollectlng
surfaces , and prevent , as much ns possi
ble , uneven intensities of light upon the
object. The inside of the butt and the
outside of the globe are silvered and the
incandescent liliuncnt is actually sur
rounded on three sides by a mirror ro-
llecting all the light downward. While
the lamp may bo placed on a level or a
little nbovo the level of the oyc , no light
strikes the eye directly from tlio lamp ,
as the slivering is covered and protected
by an opaque substance.

nnitiarroiiT , Conn. , May 30. A daring at
tempt to steal the boJy of I' , T. Barnum. tlio
dead snowman , win m.ulo about ! 1 o'eloulc
yesterday morning by rfhouh. At the tlmo
there was a drizzling rain and It was very
dark. George Callahan and .lolin Blakeman ,
the watchmen , were sleeping In a shanty
about fifty feet to the south uf tbo grave.
J'ho llttlo house Is in n grove and cannot bo
seen from the grave on a dark night. The
men roll asleep about twoo'clock ' , having been
nwako during the previous day. C.illahan 1
i light sleeper and was aroused by the sound
of a pick. Ho quickly aroused tils companion
and both looked to tholr revolver * . Finding
them ready for busluuss they noiselessly pro
ceeded In the direction Of the grave , whence
the sounds camo. Tney crept to within n
do/en foot of the tomb without being heard.
Callahan then asked , "Who's there P
No reply came , but tlio work stopped and
ono of the moil exclaimed "Hun , boys , for
your life ; wo arc oaujjht. "
They dashed off and both watchmen fired
.lieir pistols at them. They continued shoot-
lie until their rcvolvora were emptied. A
cry came from one of the men after he had
run a short distance and the guards supposed
10 had been shot. Thev foliowoti but could
Inct no ono. Then they reloaded their re
volvers to bo prepared for a return of the
ghouls.
They did not return , however , and an in
vestigation was undo at the grave. On the
lorth sldo was found an excavation in tlio
; round several feet dean. The ground there
s soft and it had only taken n few minutes
to dig it up. In order to reach the body It
would have been necessary to work through
i wall eight inche * in thickness , which sur
rounds the grave. The crypt is covered with
AVO stone slabs , weighing two tons. This
< ind of a grave was inado in accord with B.ir-
num's wish , ho having said that it was safer
ind could not bo entered without attr.icting
the attention of the watchmen of the conie-
tery. The men found a dark lantern in the
excavation which the ghouls had used and
dropped in their Illght. There was nothing
on it by which the owner could bo identified.
Alter tlio guards had recovered from the
excitement of the affair they reported it to C.
U Bothwe.ll , the business aL'ent of the late
showm.in. Ho w is disinclined to believe the
story at lirst , but after the men had related
their full experience ho decided to make an
investigation lor himself. This be did and
ordered the hole filled up. A correspondent
visited Callahan. Ho socmod greatly excited
when the matter was mentioned to him. Ho
said :
"There was but oao thing to do. Those
men could only be thcre , for one mirposo at
that hour of the night. It might bo our lives
or theirs. 1 called again but received no an
swer. I fired in the ajr. The men at once
started on a run , and we after them liring as
wo went. They hau a good start of us , but
wo could hoar them thiow their tools in the
bottom of a wagon , over near the cemetery
pump. vVe then went back to the grave and
found they had started a hole about lour fcot
long by a foot deep at the west bide of tbo
grave. The dark lantern , tno rays of which
we had seen , was lying upon the upturned
sod , having been dropped bv the frightened
scoundrels In their ( light.
"It that I'll not forgot
was a night as long
as I live. " said Callahan. and Blakoman ex
pressed himself in a similar manner.
When the news of the attempted robbery
became known in this city it caused wide
spread Indignation. Tha two watchmen have
been guarding the grave since Barnum was
buried. They would have boon taken off in
a weak or so. As no attempt had bouu made
to rob the grave the men had given up ex
pecting sueh a thing antl consequently al
lowed themselves to sleep. The robbers are
thought to have come from out of town.
Lite the night before a team was hired in
Mllford by four men. They said that they
Wuiited to visit a house in the country. The
team was not returned and was found wan
dering in the streets yesterdav. The objects
of the ghouls seems to have boon to get the
body and to hold it for a reward. Mrs. Bar
num was greatly agitated over ttio affair.
She said that had the body bcon stolen no re
ward would have boon offered for its return ,
as Mr. Barnum had wished it that way. Last

German girl twenty-two years old , was
locked up at the Harrison street station last
night to prevent her from carrying out her
threat to throw herself In the Chicago river.
Mlnnio Winturling Is a character of moro
than ordinary interest. Slio was the main
witness in the celebrated Moore murder trial
at Ottawa , 111. , which resulted in the hang
ing of Charles Ford on the Oth of the pro-sent
month and tlio imprisonment of William
O'Brien for life and Kate Ford for fourteen
years. The murder of Moore , who was a
traveling salesman for an Omaha house , on
tlio night of Juno 'JU , 1SOO , is still fresh in the
public mind. Minnie Wimcrling .vas pres
ent at tha killing and witnessed the whole
proceedings. She took the stand against her
companions and caused their conviction. For
this service she was set free by the state.
After the trial States Attorney Blake of
LaSallo county obtained for Minnie a posi
tion as domestic in a boardlng-houso in this
city. Last evening the girl began to act

\ \stnsoToN , May 80The Post this
morning prints the followlni ? : There Is a
strong Impression on tlio p.irt uf well In
formed persons in official circles that whllo
Secretary Noble Is not going to leave the
public service they will not bo surorlscd if in
a very short time ho would tettro from the
Interior department to accept a prominent
pbico in the diplomatic service. One story is
to the effect tint ho will take Minister
Smith's ' plneo at St. Petersburg. Another
and more probable story Is that If Secretary
Proctor should bo selected to succeed Senator
Kdmunds , which now seems certain , Minister
Lincoln will bo made secretary of war and
Secretary Noble will bo sent to the court of
St , James. _

of Montgomery county has bccomo tired of
set ving papers on the Midland people with
out compensation and told Mr. Crawford's
representatives that ho will not move another
step until his fees for p.ipors served are. set
tled up. Mr. Crawford In an Interview with
a reporter says : "Wo have sold \nluablo
nroperty in California and mortgaged our
homo In order to pay the debts of the road. "
Ho also said that all claims would be paid as
fast as the money could be obtained. Ho
claims the road never earned over $ ir > , nee a

bands of a receiver und claim that It will
soon be valuable property.
