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

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”

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.

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. When arraigned before the
United States commissioner the girl
admitted her guilt, but pleaded insane
jealousy, and appeared to be in excru
ciating physical agony. 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

Agalnet the Popular Fad.
New York, Octobers.—The sudden
arousing of the women of New York
and Brooklyn against “living pictures'
and bill-board displays of nude women
in tights, is creating a deep impression
on the community. Even the police are

Byrnes, protested against the public
exhibitions, and urged him to enforce
the law at all hazards. With this
movement comes a presentment from
the Brooklyn grand jury, warning pa
