Advanced.
The spostles of "ire * tWveri'jn are arriving
in the c ty. and It if estimated that by noon
today at lent ! , * or them from ocuide
will be hers. Whether they actually kaow
what thty tract may not b * "jalte certain ,
but it is dew ! tore they think they know.
aad it is the thing they think they want
that they are going after.
The program now ii to declare for free
and unlimited coinage of tilrer at the
ratio of 1C to 1 , and to perfect the org nl-
tatlon of a state free silver league. A * to
what will be done in the way of endorsing
the national platform or the administration
it li Impossible to s y , a there U a wide
difference of opinion among the delegates.
There is a sentiment that it woold be
quite a politic thins to endorse the Chicago
cage platform , even if it were deemed neees-
tary tj s-t forth the opinion that It was not
lateUigenMy interpreted by President Cleve
land , while on the other hand , the opposi
tion declares against considering the plat
form at all , on the ground that it Is to
worded as to admit of too many construc
tions.
Toe same dlfferesce of opinion exists as
to the advisability of saying anything about
the administration. There is a conservative
clement that maintains that it would be
exceedingly wrong to condemn the admin
istration cr accuse It of dishonesty Just be
cause of a difference of opinion on th *
caaci2l question , acd the desire of that
traaeh is to adopt something very similar
to the Missouri platform , specifying what
the administration has done for which it
has earned democratic praise , aad let it go
at that. But there is another branch that
will refuse to be satisSei with anything
sort of vigorous denunciation of the ad
ministration. It is largely composed of dis
appointed oQcc seekers and warm personal
friends of Congressman Bryan , who have a
revenge to gratify for their own ill Inclc ,
is well as for the humiliation of the First
district congressman at the hands of the
po-arers at Washington. According to their
way of thinking , the conference ought cot
to be at all backward in ssying what it
thinks of Cleveland's financial policy , aad
they would not object to ringing in a red
hot little rcast on the side on general prin
ciples.
CHANCED POSITION.
It is a noticeable fact that several of the
prime pushers in this move were delegates to
the list state convention , where they Jumped
at every scap of the administration fingers.
They were then candidates for pistmtster
or some other p.e-biting Joe , and were load
in their denunciation of a depreciated cur
rency. One bright and shlnln ; example is
R. A. Batty , who tried to get the Hastings
paitoQce and failed to make itHe Is coin
ing in at the held of the Adams county dele
gation , and , in view of the fact that he is
reported to be "heart and soul with the cause
of free coinage and a staunch supporter of
Mr. Bryan , " it may be interesting to recall
hla attitude befcre the Ia-t state convection ,
where he was trrayed with the administra
tion forces. He arose to reply to Bryan , and
zaJlntained that the people of all classes were
agalntt Bryan's claim. He said he repre-
teatsd people cf all classes himself , aad that
they demanded of the First district ccagress-
isin a declaration as to how he stood re
garding the repeal of the Sherman law.
Bryan arose and raidJ am in favor of
Its repeal , it at the same time the purntse
ef the democratic platform is carried out. "
That did not suit the r.old-jtandsrd Idess
ef Mr. Batty at that time , and he declared
that Bryan had truckled to the populist vote
In his position on the money question. He
caid he had always admired Bryan and zd-
raired him at this time. "I would like to
keep him in the democratic party , " he de
clared , "but I don't like to see him go stray
ing off after these strange gods. If it is
necessary that we shall facrifice- principle
ia order to keep bini. then I say let him
go. " At that time Mr. Batty was a candi
date for x postcffice. Now he is not. for the
aupply in his town is exhausted.
Robert E. Clegg of Falls City is another
leading light in the array of &nicc'.al rala-
xsakers who harvested a crvp cf disappoint
ment some months ago. He wanted to be
appointed deputy internal revenue collector
tinder Jim North , and since he failed tt > "cut
the mustard" he has been "agin the
euv'roect. " Sir. Clegg , however , was a sll-
verlte at the last convention , and , as a
member of the committee on resolutions , sub
mitted the fcllowing m nonty report in addi
tion to the declarations of the majority :
"We are cppc-sed to the unconditional re
peal of the Sherman law , and demand tbit
the rtpealinc act shall carry out the re
mainder of the plank in the national demo
cratic platform of 1SS2 and provide for the
cclcage of both gold znd silver without dU-
crim nating agaicst either metal or charge
for mintage. "
Of coune. the minority report was asphlx-
lated the moment it was read , but Mr Clegs
U as much zllve today as he ever wzs , and
.will be beard from this afternoon
UNITED IN ADVERSITY.
J A few of the other ex-aspirants for a hind
teat on the federal udder who have suddenly
discovered that they do net approve of the
manner in which the affairs cf the govern
ment are being conducted are :
E. E. Dunphy of Sewird , who , as can
didate for United States marshal , sat In the
atate convention and danced merrily when
ever the administration string was palled ;
editor Jackson of Ord , who still edits his
paper without the aid of a cancelling stamp ;
P. II. Matthews of Albion , who kindly al
lowed Mr. Barnes to have the poctoffice when
be could not get it himself ; D. L. Shenetelt.
Who realized thtt th * people of Petersburg
were denied lhe > r God-given rights when
they were refcs d the pi'ivlltge of buying
( tamps from him ; J. C. Dahlman of Chadron.
.who iin't postmaster and is afraid he never
j rUl be. Ity the way. Dahlmaa is a can
didate for chairman of the conference , and
came In over the EtkVrn with fifty dele-
Cites from the northwest portion of the
tate who will support him for the place.
He alone is mentioned as a cand date against
% V. II. Thompson of Grand Island.
Alfred Haxlett of Beatrice came in yester-
3ay non , and , after a conference with Sec
retary C. J. Smyth , started out to boost his
candidacy far the temporary chairmanship.
Another Indication that things are not as
they u > ed to be is the support that Smyth Is
Clvtng Thompson for permanent chairman.
Two years ago it the state convcatin at
Uneoln , when Secretary of Agriculture Mor
ton was nominated fcr governor , Thompson
ras nominated for the chairman ef the eon-
jTtntlon by the committee on organization.
Bmyth on that occasion moved to rubctitme
the name of Matthew Cering. en the ground
that Thompson was shifty , tricky , t weilher-
Jrane. and not to be depended OB. He now
tlalms that be ha ; discovered his error , and
that Thompson could cat be improved on as
presiding oQcer of a ceave&tlcn.
It Is because- tbe fact that there are
ftlffereat elements in tbe personnel of the
conference that it cannot b * toU what the
result of their deliberations will b . further
than declaring far free coinage at the pres
ent ratio aad the formal icu of a state
league.
The sllveritti pare aad iltaple declare
that the conference is not a political ccn-
yentton. and will therefor * hive no buil-
tess mixing up with administrations or
party platforms. Tbls In Itself would cause
k difference of optnlen with the faction that
ku a fetllnc of revenge demanding satis
faction , while In addition to thece tbe
Bryan boomer * will try to fret in their
Srork. and on the outside administration
l area will b * locking fcr a lodging place
DISPOSITION OF BRYAN
* It Is stated thit CJ rtcrcim.d. ' a > . 1
b * made to thf state eooveatlon with ref
erence to Bryan's ctndHUey for plberaa-
terial or senatorial tuners , tat tbe rpJlt
with the administration will be clearly deS -
S * U for all that , t It is the intention to
declare la umitufcble lans * g that aa
effcrt win be made to incorporate tli * sil
ver resotatton Adopted by tbe conf r nc *
as tbe BMnctnl plink In tbe party platform
at tbe next democratic sUte convention.
The formation of t& toarue will be for the
exprtc * parpoM of effecting an organisation
that will enrble the sllrerites to control the
awit convention , and tae silver leaders
do not attempt to dear it.
Tliat Bryan te their candidate for the
United States senate there If not tbe
slightest doabt. bet they do not take kindly
to the saczestlon of a cobrn torial nomina
tion for him. They charge that it comes
from the opposition znd is tinned with
bad faith. 3ei of them bpenly assert
that tee administration wing wovkl be glad
of a cbanc to nominate him for governor ,
and would then throw all their strength to
the reiffbllcan nominee and aMtst In kilt-
lag him off.
While it may b * that tbe sllverifes win
refrain from making any recommendation
to tbe state convention , it is known that
what they propose to do is to have Bryan
nominated for senator by the state con
vention , and then have him stamp the
state , reeking to elect tbe leslelalure solely
on that iMiie , patterning after tbe campaign
of Palmer in Illinois.
There is quite a little dlcc lon as to
what relation Bryan holds to tbe party at
the present time. At the state convention
he rerved notice- that unless tbinrs were
done in a certain way he shoeld coatlnne to
serve his country aad his God under another
name than that of democrat. Following
that convention , he wrote a letter to Judge
Irvine , nominee for supreme Jadce. telling
him that he ( Irvine ) could net afford to ran
on the platform adopted by a convention
compjs3 of a monopolistic corporation gang
and thst he ( Bryan ) would not support him.
Still later came bis letter declining a re-
nomination in the First district , and setting
forth his Intention to vote for men this fall
who represent his idea * . aaJ not for party
politics.
SECRET OF THE CALL.
That the origin of the free silver confer
ence was a plan to advance Bryan's chances
as a senatorial candidate is very evident
from statements of tbe various partl ° s en
gineering it. During his maneuvering at
the state convention , wken he was appar
ently driving in tbe wedge that was split-
tint ; him off front the democratic psrty and
crowding him over to the populists , it was
frequently remarked that he was fishing for
the tenatorship. His flirting with the pops
was not without results ; still the situation
was not regarded as such is to warrant
the hope that he could secure the caucus
nomination of the populists for the senate.
In view of the fact that the democrats
helped out the pops c. year and a half ago in
the- election of Senator Allen , It is argued
that turn about would be fair play , and that
it is not unreafoszble to expect the as
sistance of the populists next winter in case
Bryan is the democratic choice. While it
could hardly be expected that the populists ,
with probably four times as many votes in
the next legislature as the democrats will
have , would give their so Id support to any
democrat who was not unusually acceptable ,
Bryan banked on his free silver-ism to give
him the necessary standing with the popu
lists , and then set out to get the endorse
ment of his otvn party. His experience at
the last convention taught him that this
could not be done without extra effort , and
the natural sequence was the calling of the
free silver conference , which Is to organize
a league with subordinate branches In every
county to control primaries , and thus Insure
for him tbe desired endorsement by the
state convention.
It was with that end in view that the few
enthusiastic Bryan boomers xho are behind
the present move engineered the issuance cf
the call. At that time they little realized
the. power that they were invoking , although
warned that they were calling the winds to
gether. They are beginning to realte it , and
now find themselves in the position of the
man who caught the bear by tbe tail and
then wanted somebody to help him let go.
They were perfectly -willins at first blush to
declare for fret coinage at 15 to 1 , criticise
tbe Chicago plitfcrm. censure the admin
istration and do anything else that suggested
Itself , but on stepping to think over the
matter they concluded that it wcuid be well
to go a little slow. They were not ready to
read themselves out of the party , even to
accomplish the nomination of Bryan for the
senate , hence their action in now seeking
to retrace their hastily-taken steps. This ac
counts for their course in suddenly counsel
ing conservative action , but the outside ele
ment is stirred up to Cghting pitch and re *
fuses to be controlled. It listens with im
patience to all talk of political policy , and
announces its determination to go ahead and
say its say.
Lincoln is coming 400 string en a special
train at 11 CO this forenoon , bringing Con
gressman Bryan ulth them. They w.ll not
return home until tomorrow evening.
Among the early arrivals on the evening
trains were Judge Joseph Ons of Geneva ,
chairman of the committee on Invitation ;
Hon. G. A. Luikart of Madison , representing
Madison county in the lower house of the
legislature ; Judce John S. Robinson of Mad
ison , Senator Allen's old law partner , and
cow on the district bench : W. H. Thompson
of Grand Island ; Hon. John Thomson of
Fremor.t. it ate senator from Dod s county :
Frank Campbell of O'Neill , the special com
missioner sent to Mexico by President Cleve
land and Governor Crounre to bring back
Barrett Scott , the defaultlne treasurer of
Holt county ; Dr. George F. Kcipr of Pierce ,
who was defeated for congress In the Third
district two years ago by Congressman
Melklejohn : Ed. Falloon of Falls City.
The local exemplars of silver democracy
were busily encaged In tbe hotel rotundas
last evening loundlne the newccraers ia
an endeavor to Intelligently forecast the
probable extent of the coming trouble.

Principle * More than I'arty Harmony In tbe
rrenrnt CrUU.
Over his autograph Congressman Bryan
writes the following to the Chicago T me :
Next Thursday , June n. the free silver
democrats of Nebraska will zneel in confer
ence "for the purpose of pnpocmtlntr the
double standard doctrine In the democratic
party and enabling the masses of tbe dem
ocratic party In the state to obtain the fair
est expression of their views on that ubject
In the conventions of the future. " The con
ference has. therefore , two purpose ? ; nr t.
the cultivation of a new f-enUmtnl in favur
of stiver. anJ. seconJ. the f < urinK of a. fair
expression in the party conventions of cxlst-
inir sentimentTne purpose is worthy and
the mean * Irettimate. Parties have no use ,
except as they enable the citizen to pro
tect his rights and to make his influence
felt in obtaining pee l government. Kvery
effort to brine out tbe rtal sentiment of the
people and to give expression to their real
desires is laudable , and it U much better
to obtain this expression in an cpea and
manly nay than to curry a convention by
wire pullinp or win a victory by a still
hunt. In Kivins prominence to the sliver
Question , the democrats of Nebraska will
not recede from their position on other
questions. They trill etifl demand a tariff
for revenue only. They will still denouncr
republican protection as a fraud , a. robbery
of the many for the b nent of tbe few.
and they will still condemn that iniquitous
policy -nhlch invites great corporations , as
shown in the Sujrar trust investigation ,
to contribute to the campaign funds of
both parties with the hope of repayment
out of the pockets of the people. They Trill
still favor an Income tax as a step toward
tbe restoration of equality in taxation.
They will still favor the election of senators
by a direct vote of the people , for every
year's experience makes more plain tbe ne
cessity for this reform. They will etill In
sist that the power to Iseue money fhall
not b farmed out to any private corpora
tion whatever , but that all paper money
usU by the people shall be Issued by the
government anil made a full legal tender
for all debts public and private , any con
tract made hereafter to the contrary not
withstanding.
Dut while they will not yWd ene jot or
tittle of their allegiance to other democratic
principles , they will make silver the cpvciai
Issue lor this campaign , and In words which
cannot be mtsurxieritood will declare la

LEEDS , Jcae 20. Two thousand delegates
were present today In Albert ball when Dr.
Spence WzUoc called tbe anti-Lords confer-
erxse to orer.
The conference was organteed by'tbe Na
tional Liberal federation and a committee of
that bcdy submitted the following resolu
tions :
1. That the rower now exerei ed by the
House of Lords to mutilate and reject
measures passed by the representatives of
the poi > le la th House of Commons has
been systematically used to defeat reform ? .
l Inconsistent with the right of free pop
ular self government and should cease to
exist.
i That the meeting call upon the gov
ernment to Introduce a measure for the ab
olition of the Lords' power by providlnij that
whenever a. bill r > a sd by the Commons
shall be altered or rejected by the Lords
the Fme Mil may be reaffirmed by the
Commons , with or without such alteration ,
be subject only to the royal a ent and
thereupon become lair.
S. Taat the meetin ? assures the govern
ment the resolute support of the party In
any steps that may be deemed necessary to
enforce the passage of this great constitu
tional reform.
Contrary to expectations few of the dele
gates present were men of note. The most
prominent persons on the platform were
Chairman Watson , James Henry Dalzlel ,
member of Parliament for the Klrkcaldy
district of Scotland ; Sir Wilfrid Lawsoa ,
president of the Ualted Klagdom Alliance
for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic and
member of Parliament fcr the Cockermouth
division of Cumberland ; Michael Davitt and
Henry Lsboaehere.
The reason for the small atteadance of
distinguished liberals Is that the conserva
tive members of the House of Commons re
fused to arrange pairs , and the supporters
of the government were compelled to keep
up their attendance In the House , where the
Irish unionists had precipitated a debate
which might have brought disaster to the
ministry if many of Its supporters had been
absent.
During the coarse of his address at the
opening of congress , Mr. Watson said that
the present opposition of affairs was unbeara
ble. The time for action upon the part of
the liberal party had come. There must be
a definite policy , because the goveraraent
itrelf was endangered. Whea once the policy
of the party toward the House of Lords was
formulated there could be neither wavering
aor compromise. Tbe battle must be fought
out to the end. aad the end must be victory.
Jlr. Watsoa tbea moved the first resolu
tion.
tion.Secretary
Secretary Harford of the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants. In seconding
the resolution coademaed the House of Lords
for its attitude in regard to labor questions.
After other speeches bad b ea made upon
the same subject. Delegate Barnard com-
plalasd that the racing aad gambling propen
sities of the Lords had not beea mentioned
ia the resolution.
The resolutloa was then adopted as pro
posed.
For the second resolution , Mr. Libouchere
moved a substitute declaring that the Lords
being useless and dangerous , ought to be
abolished , and calling upon the government
to Introduce a measure for the abolition
of the House of Lords.
Mr. Labouchere met with an eathusiajtie
receptioa. and during the tpe ch which he
made upon his substitute , he declared that
self-government was a farce , as long as
hereditary legislators existed.
Mr. Labcnchere's amendmeat was lost bv
a large majority.
The chairman anaonaced thjt there were
maay other amendments proposed , but the
meetiag decided to vote oa the crig nal reso
lution , which was carried with enthusiasm.
DOXT LIKE TilE DIAMOND TARIFF.
Duty Propo d by Senator Teller Too Illgh
for the Rotbtchlld * .
LONDON. Juae 20. Senator Teller's pro
posed high tariff ca diamonds is causing a
sensation here , where the Rothschilds have
rcceatly bonded 4.500,000 ( nearly $20,000-
000) ) of beads for the South African dlamoad
industry. Besides these beads tbe Roths
childs are known to bs very largely Inter
ested in the stocks cf the dlamoad trust.
The proposed high tariff would produce a
great fall la the value of the Imrasnse stock
of unsold diamonds on hand and greatly re
duce the dividends to holders of the trust's
stock , which for years past have been 25 per
cent. A cable received by ths officials of
the trust from Premier Rhodes of the Cape
Colony , it is stated , declares that Secretary
Carlisle promised last March that the senate
would modify the hlch duty put upon diamonds
mends when the Wlhon bill passed the
house. Senator Teller's amendment Increas
ing the duty oa diamonds to 30 per cent is
regarded as a bw ! aimed by the leader of
the American free silver men at the Roths
childs , the leaCln ; bankers la Europe who
have doae so much to maintain tbe single
gold monetary standard. The Colorado sen
ator aad ex-Speaker Reed have coasidered
various forms of discriminating duties
against those countries which oppose an in
ternational agreement fcr tbe freer use of
silver.

LONDON , Jane 20. There Is absolutely
no truth in the sensational story circulated
ia the Ualted States by a news agency to
the effect that Sir Edward Malet. the Brit
ish ambassador to Berlin , has resigned.
The story cabled here -yesterday was la
substance that Sir Edward Malet had re
signed , saying- that It was impossible for
him to "longer successfully represent the la-
teretts of England at the court of the kaiser ,
since , owing to recent acts of tbe British
cabinet , the confidence of the emperor has
beea lost. It was raid that tbe kais-er bit
terly reproichfrd the British cabinet for
taking unfair advantage of his straightfor
wardness in dealing with England aad ac
cused Sir Edward Mal with having coun
tenanced the English cabinet's duplicity.
Sir Edward Malet , it was asserted , pro
tested to the kaiser against the accusation ,
declaring that he was as much surprised as
the kaiser. The emperor then , according to
reports , informed Sir Edward that England
could thank herself If henceforth he should
reverse tha friendly poljcy of Germany and
return to Prince Bismarck's distrust of
everythlag English.

NEW YORK. June ± 0. Erastus Wiman ,
the oae-time mlllioaaira philxnthropist , was
ssateaced to Sing Sing'by Judge Ingraham
la the ccurt of over and termlaer today for
five years aad six mouths. The crime was
forgery in the second degree.
Mr. Wltaaa , who had , walked with a dep
uty from the Tombs , took his seat at the
counsels' table , oae of' his sons ca either
side , before court opened.
General Tracy arose Imraediitely after
the court had been declared cpea aad made
a formal motion far a' new trial oa three
grounds that the rerditt bad beea con
trary to the law , dat Ir-was clearly against
the evidence aad that the judge had mis
directed the jury.
To tha question II he tad anything to * ay
why judgment should not be pissed upon
him , Mr. Wlmaa made. " no audible reply.
Ia passing sentence , Jadge lagraham said
to the prisoner : ? " , "For a long
period you constantly appropriated th'e money
of your associates , you resorted to forgery
to accomplish your purpose. Mr. Dua
trusted you. I cannot eonside- the plea
that tbers was contributory cegllgence oa
Dun's part. 1 aia also asked to consider
that you had the rig-t to do what you did.
I cannot believe that. Every letter and act
of yours "shows you had no such right. On
the ether hand the Jury has recommended
clemency. I also wish to express apprecia-
tioa to the Jury for the way they performed
their duty. I also wish to consider year
public services , yocr ace aad your family.
But siacerely wishing to make the paalsa-
tant as light as I can , I do not feel I am
Justified la makiag it a noalaal one- "
Mr. Wiman showed little or no slga cf
agitatisa.
The World prints an interview with Eras-
tus Wiman In which he makes the point that
If he is guilty of forgery now he was guilty
a year ago and that those who accuse him
knowing a year Ego what they know now
were compounders of a feloay for a yeir.

E track Omaha tbta that which came over th
city shortly before T o'clock latt evening. U
bad beea noticed for aa hoar or more that
It was approaching , bet though tbe clouds In
the southwest were heavy tad black , they
were not * o threatening as to cau e appre-
heasloa. But the south wind , which bad
been blowing for alraut treaty-four hours ,
lost Us warmth is It Increased in velocity ,
aad chllliag the air as it rarae. harried tbe
Wack squadron ; in the sky northward , filled
the streets with blind.ng cloads of dost , ex
tending hundreds of feet into the air , and
caused all objects not well moored to move
and move in h&ste. The rain soon followed ,
but It was not particularly heavy , ind sev
eral sharp flashes of lightning. The wind at
Its harden blew at the rate of thirty-eight
miles an boar , znd damage to property , not
great ia any e-ne Instance , was geaenlly
witwght throughout the c ty aad vicinity.
DROWNED AT COURTLAND.
At Conrtland lake the storm raged with
all the fnry of a hurricane for nearly an
hour , and while it was most severe. Dennis
O'Brien , the teader at the boat house , was
drowned. Taere were several men who wit-
aessed the occurrence , but none of them
were able to render him any assistance.
Parties who were present describe the ac
cident as follows : Shortly before the storm
struck the like , all of tbe boats were pulled
up to the docks aad securely moored , but
as the gale snept over the lake from the
south two or three of the boats broke
away and were driven out Into the water.
O'Brlea Jumped into one of .the Racine
boats aad started out on a chase after the
runaways , reaching a point some SOQ feet
north of the switchback , nhca one of his
oars broke short o2. Prior to this Man
ager GrlSths had tcld O'Bnen to stay on
shore and let the boats drift to the other
side of the lake , but , disregarding these
Instructions , he replied that hewould go
out and capture the crafts. When the oar
broke he grasped the remaining one ia
both hands and commenced to tura bis
boat back to the shore aad la doia so the
wind caught the frail vessel on the broad
side aad capslred it iastantly , throwing
O'Brien Into the water. Once overboard ,
although an expert swimmer , he seemed to
become bewildered , losiag all pre-seace of
mind , and Instead of striking out fcr the
shore be paddled around for a few moments
aad sank in twelve feet cf water. As soon
as the storm abated the llfesavlng crew
at the beech commenced to drag the lake
for the body , bat their efforts were unavail
ing and at midnight the search was
abandoned until morning.
O'Br.en was 31 years of age- and married.
He leaves a wife and one child , who reside
at Sixteenth anJ jHoKard streets , ia' this
city.Aside
Aside from blowing down a few temporary
fruit stands , the stqrradid but little ilam-
ag ; at Courtland7 though fcr a time it
seemed that all of the" buildings would be
saept awxy.
In swooping dowa upon the East .Omaha
bottoms the storm rtruck the saloon of
"Fatty" Blcedell at Third aad Loccst
streets , taking the roof on the building and
carryiEs it fully MO feet before It touched
the earth. The second story cf the building
was occupied by the family of BloJeIl , bat
none cf the members were la the least la-
Jored.
Daring the early part of the evening it
was reported that several fishermen were
drowned in Florence like , this rumor having
become current by reason of their beats
being found bottom side up along the north
shore of the lake. The drowniag , however ,
proved to be a canard , the men being safe
la their huts , their boats bavin ? brokea
away from their moorings. The lee house
oa the east side of Cut-OS lake was un
roofed , but as the build Ins was securely
braced it withstood the shock of the storm.
SHOCKED BY ELECTRICITY.
M. A. Past , night foreman at the Ames
avenue street car barn , and residing at
Twenty-eighth aad Fovrler avenues , was
seriously shocked by an electric current last
evening a few moments a'tsr the itorm
broka. A tree had fallen partially across
the guy wire , which supports the trolley
wire. In order to rua the cars It was neces
sary that this tree bo moved , aad in order
to do this the guy wire had to ba cut. Psst
desired to have this out of the way ia time
far the next train to pass , aad contrary to
the advice of several of tne workmen , who
told him to take a ladder , he climbed up
the brokea tree , which was partly resting
on the wire. He reached a point whers Le
was able to sever the wire. This casgeJ the
tree to turn slightly , although it did
not fall. The turn was enough to
cause Past to lose his balance and he fell ,
striking on his back. The wire was charged
and struck him on the neck as he fell , Irv
ing a blue mark. When be struck the
ground his eyes bulged frsm their rockets ,
his arms and legs were drawn up , the bands
.clinched , and he was uaconsious. Soon
after being takea home Past recovered
consciousness and the doctors believe he
is not fatally injured.
In the worst of the storm J. S. Matherly ,
a driver in the employ of the Frontier
steam laundry , was caught a couple of
blocks from his barn. The wagon was blown
over. He Jumped , but not soon enough , and
the wagon fell oa him. He suffered a broken
collar bone , sprained ! wrist aad his htf > 5
were badly cut. It Is not thought he suf
fered Internal Injury. He was taken home.
TOOK BABY A RIDE.
A Mrs. Jenkins , residing In Clifton Hill ,
was caught In front cf The Bee building with
her baby in her arms. The wind carried the
baby fifteen or twenty feet and set It down
without a scratch. Tbe little tot was laush-
ing when iti mother picked it up.
Another case of this strt wu reported at
Eighteenth and Dodge streets. Tbe name
could not be ascertained. A woman , in turn

ance. but she refused their aid , lying dlt-
creetly where she- was until the ktren fi of
the gale seemed past. hea she arose iad
made her way up the street.
Foreman Gazar of the smelting works was
struck by a piece of board and knocked
down. He wu painfully bruised.
The northwest quarter of the roof of the
mill of the linseed oil works was carried off
cal Uaded oa the tracks east of S veate ath

Pieces of sheet iron and the cover ef the
manhole were blown oZ the roof of the Mur
ray hotel. Some water came ia through
