DEAD BODIES TELL OF After In their Rank* Believes Three ■— - District* Will be Carried. Buainesa Portion of Little Rock Wamihgtoh, October 3.—lion. James Demoliehed by a Storm. F - Boyd ’ ex ; Un , lted States district at- i wrney, and the present mayor of I Greensboro, N. C., was prevailed upon THE FURY. to say a little about politics at the Eb- i bitt House yesterday afternoon. Mr. Boyd is a strict republican, and just now is paying more attention to his large law practice than to politioa. “The republicans,” said he, “have good reason to believe that they can carry three congressional districts in the Old North State. The friends of Mr. Settle are very confident that he will be re turned, and I think that in the Eighth district Komulus Z. Linney, who is the fusion candidate of the republicans and populists, has an excellent chance to The State Insane A.ylnm Hadly Wrecked and the Inmate. Thrown I'pon the Street.—Great Kicttement and Consternation Kelans. LlTTl.lt Rock, Ark., October 8.—A ter rible cyclone struck this city at 7:30 o'clock last evening and almost devas tated the business portion of the city. Several people are known to have been killed and injured. The main portion , , ,, , , of the business centre is practically; l** 1 H°wer, the democratic nom. ruined and the damage is incalculable. The total property loss will probably approximate a million dollars. The cyclone was accompanied by a terriftic rain storm and the stocks of goods in the business houses which were unroofed, though not otherwise wrecked were destroyed by water. Arknnn.a Penitentiary Demoll.h.d. The storm struck the state penitentiary which stands on a hill in the western part of the city with fearful force de stroying the dining room, tearing down the stables and shops, unroofing the main cell building, demolishing the warden's office. Several of the convicts were seriously injured, one of whom died an hour afterwards. Down town the lightening struck the Martin block, corner of Spring and Second streets, totally wrecking the third floor. A man named Eaton was fatally injured there. Th^ Tills building, corner Centre and Markara streets, was un-! roofed and a part of the fourth floor of (lleason's hotel was blown away. At | Main and Second streets the tops of several adjacent builings lie piled up in an indescribable heap. The worst damage, however, was done to property on Markam and Commerce streets. IiupoMlble to Estimate I>aniai[«- The streets are filled with tin roofs, electric wires and other wreckage and it will be several days before the extent of the damage is known accurately. The large cotton warehouse, situated at Second and Soott streets, owned by J. H. Bacnm, was wrecked. It fell on the Western Union telegraph compa ny's office next door and wrecked it, thus cutting off all telegraphic coramu- nioation with the outside points. Many of the patients at the insane asylum are fatally injured and great damage was done to the buildings. Reports from the penitentiary say tnat 86 con vict* were badly injured by falling tim bers, two of whom will die. Mayor Hall at midnight called out the entire fire and police departments and sent ten hack loads of physicians and citi- zeus to the asylum and penitentiary. Eight persons have already died from the injuries. FALLS ON THE CARNAGE FIELD. The Death of General Teh In the Jepane.« Hunk. In Battle. Nbw York, October 8.—The Central News’ Tokio correspondent states that after the battle of Ring Yang, while the Japanese soldiers were engaged in burying those who had fallen in the light, they found, surrounded by a heap of dead botlies, the remains of an officer very richly elad. On the body was found a letter from the Chinese govern ment addressed to General Yeh, com mander-in-chief of the Chinese forces in Korea. This letter, together with others from the wife of General Yeh. and various documents which were also found on the body, fixed beyond doubt the identity of the remains as those of General Yeh, who was supposed to have succeeded in making his escape after the complete round of his forces by the Japanese. The body was interred with the honors due the rank of the de ceased officer. The Chinese prisoners who are being shipped to Japan, are, owing to their very large number, dis tributed upon their arrival among the various military districts. THE FIGHT IN TENNESSEE. Candidates For Governor Begin to Canvass the State Thoronghly. Chattanooga, Tenn., October 3.— The republicans are making a strong fight to put Tennessee in the republi can column at the coming November election. Hon. H. Clay Evans, their candidate for governor, is speaking daily in a systematic canvass of* the state. Honorable Newell Sanders, chairman of the executive committee, has seen red Governor McKinley, of Ohio, to make one speech at Nashville on October 19. He also expected ex- I’restdent Harrison te make one speech, very likely at Memphis. Ho announces last night that Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, Senator Allison, of Iowa, and Senator Hoar, of Massachusettea, will all speak sometime this month. The Csafv Trip to Livadla. * Vienna, Aus., October 3.—The czar yesterday passed the frontier station at Zholdonow on his way to Livadia. The train on which he traveled made a stop of ten minutes at the station, during which the emperor appeared at a win dow of his car. He did not appear to be ill. but members of \iis entourage said he suffered Intense paili. nee. Mr. Settle's opponent, by the way, is Augustus W. Graham, of Ox ford, whose father was secretary of the navy under President Filmore, and who ran with Scott on the Whig pres idential ticket of 1862. His father's name, however, will be of no especial benefit to him in this race, as Ameri cans care very little about a man's an cestors, which, I think, is one of the excellent results of our democratic in- stitutions” DANGEB AHEAD IN DUVAL. Troops ruder Arms-Mar be a Clash Ba- tweon Them and the Police. Jacksonville, Fla., October 2.—The general election Is in progress through out the state today. In this city voting has been stopped by the inspectors in four out of the nine city wards because the sheriff has stationed a deputy in side each voting booth throughout the county. The inspectors in the third, fourth,fifth and eighth wards claim that the presence of these deputies is con trary to law and they will not allow the voting to proceed while they re main. The law says that at least one deputy shall be “at" each polling place, not “inside.” In anticipation of trou ble here yesterday the governor sent Adjutant General Houston here last night. The adjutant general now has two companies of infantry under arms at their armories. The inspetors have re quested him to have the deputy sheriffs removed from inside the booths and the adjutant general wired the gover nor for instructions. An answer is ex pected every minute. If the military should be ordered to clear the booths of the deputy sheriffs, there will surely be a conflict, for the mayor has twenty special policemen at every polling place in the city. Each squad is in charge of a regular. LIVING PICTURES MUST GO. LIKE ALICE MITCHELL'S CASE. Bavalatlou Coucarnlnc a Claelanatl Girl of Striking Similarity Cincinnati, October 8.—A pretty and bright young girl was arrested yester day for opening a letter addressed to her roommate, Anna McHugh. Tha girl arrested gave the name of Georgia Burke, but It was later ascertained she also went by the name of Dolorea Lome.

The commis sioner believed she was shamming, but at last she was sent to the city hospital. At her trial Anna McHugh appeared and begged for the release of her room mate, and she has remained at her side ever since. The hospital authorities say Miss Burke's ease is like that of Alice Mitchell. VICTORY FOR LIDDON The Populists Poll a Light Vote In Florida.
