A VIRTUAL ADMI88ION OF -THE People Hi JjONDON, Mai government of raent to Mr. P lie C the : WabhtitotoK, March 22.—Yesterday afternoon a tremendous thunderstorm broke over this city. The first peal of thunder followed doae upon a blinding flash of lightning, and sounded like the discharge of a thousand cannon. Both houses of congress were in session at the time. The lightning struck the eastern side of the lofty Iron dome, ran down the girders and off into tha concreted court yard, where it killed a hone standing by the curb and overturned the cab to which he was harnessed. A thin, glitteHng ribbon of lightning entered the senate, ran once around the chamber and disappeared through the press gallery, following the line of the telegraph wires, and burning out all the connections of the Associated Press, the United Press and tha Western Union.

The division* taking on both the amendment and the bill show the marvelous elasticity of the Unionist creed, and abundantly prove that the government does not intend to deal seriously with the question of arrears.

And what is more, the boycott on the freight of the "Q" road has been raised. ■llgee done, wide _ t)nd of settlement at "" "—* path When the organized grievance committee of the St Paul road came here several day* ago it was confidently expected it would order a strike, and the men were all prepared to go at a moment's notice. On Monday the chairmen of the grievance committees of the other western roads were sent for by Chief Arthur to oorae here and use their endeavors to prevent the St. Paul committee from precipitating a strike. In response several of them came. The chairmen of the Alton and Wabash committees went to the Saratoga and labored night and day with the St Paul men, , with the gratifying result that when the vote was taken yesterday afternoon the conservatives won a decided victory. The radicals were beaten out at their boots. «i each shanties, The telegraph wire* on the house ride were •bo destroyed, and the batteries burned out With the first fluh ot lightning the electric lights were extinguished throughout the building, and balls of Are ran over the wires. There was a general stampede from galleries and cloak rooms. Probably the most startled man on the floor of the house was Bourke CocKran, who with the first peal jumped at least three feet in the air. Sunset Co* was also pretty well shaken up. Tin storm bant over Ihe White House while the president was holding his usual triweekly reception. There were about 200 persons in the East Room at the time, the majority of whom were ladies, and the violence of the storm, with its accompaniments of thunder and lightning, caused a temporary commotion among the ladiefe and children. The reoeption was not interrupted, however. can on the side track cos was deposited, trucks and all, twsnty feet on the west side. The trucks of the others remained on the track.

A heavy thunder Mora waa general through this section afterward, with an exceptionally heavy rainfall Several narrow escapes in the ooantry have bean reported. The cyclone waa last heard from where it crossed the Oconee river, five miles above the mouth and about ten miles from the scene of the disaster. The boycott still remains on the Rock Island, however. It is not placed there so much by the men as by the officers. At least it is so understood, although Manager St. John and President Cable have given it out that the reason they do not handle Burlington freight is that it would precipitate a strike, and. they don't propose to run any risks to please the Burlington or anybody else. Manager St. John intimates that he knows his budraete, and doesn't oare for any outside advice. And Was Startled by an Explosion in His Own Store. Stratford, March 83.—One of our Settling a Breach of Promise- Suit. town officials has for several weeks missed hickory stove *ood from his pile in the back yard of his residence on the main street. On Saturday last the town official went to his wood pile, selected a large stick, took it into the house, bored an inch auger hole in it, and half tilled it with coarse blasting powder, and then plugged np the hole. He then laid it on the backside of the pile, where the unknown thief always took his supply, and awaited results. The town official's 10-yearold boy took the loaded stick, and when the 'athei alt the Are for breakfast on Monday le i insciously placed it in the stove. It was tif an hour after this that an explosion occurred which Bhook the whole house, and not only broke into a thousand pieces the new kitchen range, but shattered every window on the lower floor of the little Queen Anne cottage. Neighbors came to the rescue, but fortunately nobody was hurt The town official has not been seen outdoors since. Pittsburg, March 22.—The suit of Louise E. Wilson against H. H. Wilson, for breach of promise to marry, was settled yesterday, and a court trial avoided. It is understood that, by the terms of the agreement, each returns the other's letters and photographs. There is a pecuniary consideration, which is ■aid to include a house ill Allegheny City. Only a partial searoh of the auditorium and boxes has been made yet, but the firemen and the Citizen's Relief corps are constantly bringing out charred bodies. So far as known, the ions of life is entirely among the audience, and all the members of the company eeoaperi KENTUCKY'8 MISSING TREASURER. The Joint Oommlttee of the Legislature Recomm. nda Hla Impeachment. Louis villb, March 22.—The judiciary committees of the senate and house, to whom was referred the matter of the defalcation and flight of State Treasurer Tate, in a joint report to the legislature yesterday recommend impeachment. The report says that the suspension of the state treasurer by the governor does not vacate the office, and that impeachment is the only constitutional means by which the absconding treasurer may be removed and his place made vacant. The fire was caused by some disarrangement of the gas fat the flies during the third act The flames swept over the upper part of the bouse first, giving people in the galleries no chanoe to escape, while spectators on the lower floor reached the street in comparative safety. New* of the catastrophe was carried to the towns and to this city, and all possible assistance waa rendered. Tha wounded have been sent to their friends and cared for in the neighborhood. The following is a list of the dead: Chief Arthur has become very restlesB and wants to go l)ome. He realizes that the game is up, and that it has been lor some time. A correspondent met him yesterday. Buffalo, March 22.—In the third bout of the Lewis-Gallagher wrestling match, in this city, last night, the police interfered and the match was declared a draw and the purse of $250 declared off. Lewis had thrown Gallagher twice by using his "strangle" hold, and was fast choking him into insensibility when the match was broken up. Declared a Draw. Joseph Neibel, of Indianapolis; Joe H. Turner, of Virginia; W. B. Whkldon, of Eastman, Ga., who leaves a widow and six childrsn; B. V. Holland, of Virginia, a prominent turpentine manufacturer, who leaves a widow and three children. "Why didn't you take the same course with the Burlington strikers as you did with the Santa Fe menl Why didn't you deal with Messrs. Hoge and Murphy as you did with ConroeP Somebody shut off the gas shortly after the fire was discovered, in the hope of checking its spread, but only left the theatre and exits In almost total darkness and increased the panic. The light woodwork galleries were soon in a roaring blaze. All the doors of the theatre opened inward and all were closed when the alarm was given. Conservative reports place the amount of the deficit between (125,000 and $150,000. More sensational dispatches place the sum far above these figures, one placing it at $197,- 000, and crediting Expert Samuels with the statement that it will probably reach $600,- 000. Some startling developments are promised when the private" papers of the treasurer are looked into. It is said that these documents will show loans to various high officials, among them being $5,000 to an exjudge of the court of appeals. It is said tliat more than one knew of Tate's financial straits, and they helped get him into trouble. ptKAl "The Burlington strike was a legal one," replied Mr. Arthur, "and the Santa Fe was not The Burlington men had a valid grievance and the Santa Fe engineers and firemen had not. The reason I do not advise the men to go back, and why I do not advise that the strike should be declared oil, is that the men seem to be satisfied and are determined to stand it out, being confident that they will win." Died from Lockjaw. The seriously injured are Rjlhway, N, J., March 22.—On Saturday the 10th inst., Charles Stoll, a young man living in this city, while returning from a gunning expedition dropped hia gun, which exploded and wounded him in the leg. He was carried home, and in spite of the best treatment lockjaw set in a few days ago, which yesterday resulted in his death. W. L. Wilcox, of Chauncey, head, face and side; B. B. Rawls, of Virginia, face and shoulder; R E. Rawls and wife, of Virginia; H. C. Ryals, of Lumber City, head and back; J. B. Wilson, of Chauncey, arm broken. Others slightly injured are: Mrs. C. B. Miller, Joe E. D. Carr and Causby 8. Smith, both of Green county, Ga. The Morris Canal Bill Passed. The theatre holds 2,300 people and the box office had refused admission tickets before the performance; so that the loss of life is presumably very large. Dispatches received here—800 miles from Oporto—say that the police have removed the remains of eighty bodies, and that the work of searching the ruins has only Just begun. The municipal authorities have put large gangs of men at work. Trenton, March 33.—The bill giving the Lehigh Valley Railroad company the right to abandon the Morris canal so far as operating it is concerned, and keeping it so far as any rights or privileges are involved, passed the house yesterday, after a long contest, by a vote of 43 to 10, and will now go to the governor. There is little probability that the governor will veto it, as it has been given out all along, and not denied, that both the governor and the attorney general had passed upon the bill and approved it "Do you think the men would be taken back on the Burlington should the strike be declared off now?" All the killed and injured are white. Almost all the personal effects of the sufferers, probably aixteen families, are lost, and the small amount that may be picked up will be of little value. These families are practically destitute. For Cleveland and Sltermau. "No; I don't think any of them would get back—that is to say, very few. Last week I understand that 00 per cent, of them could have returned, but that their places are all filled now." Washington, March 22. -Ex-Congressman Hill, of Ohio, is in this city.' He says that the Democrats of his state are solid for Cleveland, ttud that the delegation to St Louis will be instructed to vote for the president's renomination. Mr. Hill says that Senator Sherman will have the Republican delegation from Ohio. Tha Tramp la a Fraud. The charred bodies of a man and woman found in a box locked in a cloee embrace are believed to be the bodies of Don Sorilla and wife. He was one of the wealthiest merchants of the city. Ho remains have yet been positively identified. N«w Brunswick, N. J., March 23.—It turned out yesterday that the story told by the young Scotchman Mackenzie, that, instead of being a tramp, he was the heir to a large fortune, was pure fiction. He still wants to marry Emma Johnson, the farmer's daughter who cared for him when he appeared at the farm house near here, half starved to death, and he invented the story to secure the father's consent to an early marriage. The girl is not a bit daunted, however, and says she will marry him whether he im a fortune or not. Her father is equally positive that she shall not, especially as Mackenzie owes him money, and has run up a bill against him for his wedding suit The path of the tornado from Calhoun to London was through a section remote from railroads and telegraph lines, and the damage it may have done will not be known for some days, but mu*t have been fearful. The tornado in piacas cleared the ground completely of grass, and a forest of timber was mown as with a great scythe. The cyclone had a whirling rotary motion, leaving a scene of desolation and destruction in its patfak Large trees were twisted from their trunks and others torn up by the roots. A heavy bureau was found a mile from the house that contained it ~ \ Collision on the Grand Trunk. 6 POWDER "Yes, something of that sort There will not be any more trouble, and when the men get ready to quit we will go home. I am very anxious to get home to Cleveland,* and I know the others l'eel as I do—that there is no good in our staying here." "It's a kind of a freeze out game, then!" Wyoming, Ont, March 23.—An emigrant train going west on the' Grand Trunk road collided with a Petrolia train going east a mile east of this place yesterday. The engineer of the emigrant train was badly injured about the head, and a brakeman on the same train had a' leg broken. Of the passengers eight or ten have broken limbs and are more or lees seriously hurt, but no person was killed outright The baggagemastor of the Petrolia train had both legs broken. The search has been going an all night by the aid of torches, and the scenes among persons looking for miming relatives among the ruins are heartrending. Private information received here says that very few people in the galleries escaped and that the loss of life is twice as large as reported. Washington, March 22.—In the senate yesterday the Blair bill to give preference for civil service appointments to honorably discharged wounded ex-Confederate soldiers, was over until next Tuesday, at the request of several senators who wish to discuss it A Coming: Breeze In the Senate. Chief Arthur did not say what the engineers and firemen of the Burlington, who hare left good positions to go on strike, would do, undoubtedly because he didn't know. The strikers are blue, for they see no hope ahead, though Chief Sargent, of the Firemen's Brotherhood, says the men will win in the long run. N*w York, March 8S1—Gen. George W. Cass died at his residence here yesterday in his 80th year. He was president of the Pittsburg, Fart Wayne and Chicago Railway company for twenty-five years, and resigned that position a few years ago. He leave* a wife and one son, four married and one unmarried daughters. He was a life long Democrat - Death of Geo. Cass. Absolutely Pure. Acquitted of Frmud. The list at seriously wounded men, women auid children in London county is very large. Andy Worley, his wife and eight children were every one injured, and some of them will die. The , station at Calhiun was unrooted, and the colored porter received injuries which may prove fatal Several booses were carried a distance of half a mile, the telegraph wires were prostrated and a number of cars thrown from the track. The New Kaiser's Health. Utica, N. Y., March 2a—In the United States district court yesterday Eli H. Dyer, of Taberg, was acquitted on the charge of obtaining a pension under false pretenses. The famous Blind Patterson pension case is being tried to-day. This po*der never varies. A marvel of parity atreoftth and wholesomeness. More economica Auburn, N. Y., March 22.—The train which left this city at 10:80 yesterday morning far Rochester had on board the body of Amariah H. Bradher, the Dansville banker, who died in the prison hospital here at 2 a. m. Bradner was sent to Auburn prison last November for grand larceny, having taken $1,500 of a woman after the Dansville bank, of which he was president, had become insolvent, giving in return a worthless certificate of deposit Bradner fought his prosecutors boldly in the courts for over two years, but was finally beaten, and sentenced to Auburn for five years. The cause of his death was pneumonia. A Bank President Dies In Prison. Why he thinks they will win he does not say. It is not thought that the result of the strike is particularly displeasing to Mr. Arthur, because it will tend to prove that his policy of discouraging strikes is the most profitable one in the end. Berlin, March 23.—The emperor passed a good night and he felt much stronger yesterday. He received the crown princess in the afternoon. The empress will hold a mourning reception at Charlottenburg on Saturday. Prince Bismarck visited the crown prince and was afterwards received by the emperor.

Mr. and Mrs. Bmdoiport, March 23.—A new disease seems to have struck horses in this part of the state since the blizxard of last week. Horses that were stabled and fed on oats for four or five days and not exercised at all are the only ones affected. The symptoms do not show themselves until the horses are taken out and put at regular work, when the muscles of the hind legs contract and the animal becomes paralysed. In many casee the disease proves fatal, and veterinary surgeons asBert that when a horse is severely attacked with it he may as well be killed at once.' The disease is called asoturea.
