Towns and Country. Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 26 One of the worst wind storms that Cleveland has ever known began in the very early hours this morning and increased in severity until about 5 o'clock, when the greatest velocity of wind in the history of the Cleveland weather bureau was attained. This at. least was the estimate of the weather men. At 5 o'clock the wind blew at the rate of fully seventy -four miles an hour and probably at a higher rate. Violent gusts were frequent above the steady undercurrent, and they had a tendency to tear roofs, chimneys, etc A from their fastenings. The rainfall yester day was something over an inch. It did not stop till past midnight, and almost with its cessation the wind began to blow. While at its height, the wind veered from a southerly direction, and thus the lake was at its roughest. , i The wind seemed to have attained its most remarkable velocity in ther vicinity of Erie and Superior streets. When day dawned the entire neighborhood presented a scne of wreckage. Music hall on Vincent street presented a broad front for the gale A gable, about eight feet high and fifty feet from tbe ground, extending across the en tire Vincent street front, was blown to tbe street. The frame steps leading to the au ditorium entrance were completely demol ished by the falling stone and brick. At th; northeast corner or superior and Erie streets, a few hundred yards from the Vin cent street front of Music hall, is St. John's cathedral, the tower of which, one of the higbest in the city,, showed the effect of the storm. The top was fully five feet out of line, the steeple leaning toward the north east Reports from various parts of the city in dicate that the damage to property .will reach many thousand dollars. No loss of lite is reported. Telegraph and telephone wires are down all over the city. A special to the Press from Put-in-Bay, Ohio, says : The roof of V. Doller's store. the parapets of the town ball, and the front of the museum were blown off this morn ing. A deck hand of the steamer Messen ger, Known as "teudy, was tound drowned at Fox s docs this morning. He was blown from the dock during the night. A special to tne rress irom Bowline Green, Ohio, says: A terrible wind, with nearly the force of a hurricane, struck Wood county early ruesday morning. In this nitv bnildiners were unroofed, nlata glass broken, chimneys b'lown down, and the streets Strewn with debrcs. A Press representative rode through the oil fields this morning, and in a distance of eight miles not a half dozen derricks were standing. The amount of damage done, in the oil fields is hard to estimate. There are hundreds of derricks blown down. Farm ers report much stock killed. Telegraph wires and long distance telephone wires are down A special CothelVeM from Akron, Ohio, says: The high wind that visited the city cms morniDg , am consiaeraoie uamage throughout the city. The tin room of the ARron cereal mill was torn off by the wind and thrown into the street. A large tree crashed through the bay window into the residence of ex Governor Eeerton. Detboit, Mich., Nov. 26 A hurricane struck this city this morning, but beyond carrying down telephone and telegraph wires and a couple of electric light towers and destroying numberless shade trees, little damage was done. Gband I avkn, Mi4fi-, Nov. 26 Only in one previous year has winter set in as early ai this year. It srif iked furiously all last night and there are drifts six feet high in the main streets to day. Trains on all the railroads are in bad shape, and country roads are completely barricaded. Already there is slush ice in the main channel of Grand river, a record unprecedented. -: Muskegon, Mich , Noy. 26 The heaviest November snow storm that has visited this section in many years raged last night. Twelve inches fell in eight hours, Street car traffic is susped and railroad trains are from six to twelve hours late. Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 26 Reports from the oil fields south of this city say that damage amounting to over $100,000 was done to oil property by the storm last night and this morning. Not a derrick is standing and boiler houses and engines were dismantled. This city suffered less from the storm than was expected. The wires to . the south of Toledo are all down and nothing can be heard from points where it is said the wind wrought great havoc. A telephone message from Fremont says that not a derrick is Branding in the Sandusky county oil fields Cincinnati, ov. 26 A terrific wind storm swept over this section last night doing con siderable damage to property Trees were nnrooted. buildings unroofed or wrecked, telegraph poles and wires blown down and spveral boats in the river were torn from their moorings and set adrift. The watch men and crews of packets and tow boats were all aboard and consternation reigned tmane them. None of the boats had steam nnandthev were, therefore, left to the mercv of the gale after the'linee had parted. A 4,000 barge was sunk at the marine dry dock Nearly 10' empty barges . were set adrift from the Queen City landing The damaere in the river here will amount to fln,000. Ootleib Lunschlaeer. ager, 58 years, mar ried, living at 1942 Pulte street, was fright ened to death by the storm. Cleveland, Ohio, Noy 28 A special to the Press from Lorain.

Chicago, Not. 26-A blizzard descended upon Chicago yesterday afternoon. It snowed, and between times sleet pelted down Diteouslv. When night came the downpour of the mixture of snow and rain and Bleet came heavier, and the wind, which was gusty in the afternoon, rose to a gale. The streets and sidewalks were flooded with slush.

Buffalo, Nov. 26 One of the most furi ous wind storms of recent years is raging to day over tne eastern portion or JaJce Erie and the tumbling waves are dashing high over the piers here The warnings which were sent out yesterday, however, kept many vessels in port and doubtless prevented a numoer oi wrecss.

Vienna, jnov. zo-me suggestion that Germany is encouraging the Sultan to re sist the demands of tbe powers is vigorously denied in a semi-official manner here. - The uerman Ambassador in uonstantinople is one of the firmest supporters of the powers. and it is contended, if Germany does not ask Turkey for the admission of another dispatch boat to the Bosphorus it is mainly to prove to the Sultan that Germany is dis interested, rendering the advice of Germany tne more valuable. Vienna, Nov, 26 -Advices received here from Constantinople state that the foreign Ambassadors to lurfcev have sent identical dispatches to their respective Governments. urged them to maintain, in the interest of dignity, the demands of the powers for per mlts allowing the entrance of a second dis patch boat each into the Bosphorus Uerlin, JNov. 26 The Jsorm tferman Gazette publishes an officiallv authorized denial of the report- which have been in circulation that the Emperor is not in sym pathy with the demonstrations of the fleets of the powers in Turkish waters.

De fective steam pipe jutting is said to be re sponsible for the explosion and arrests mav be made in jconspquence. As tbe scalded men scrambled up from the cellar where the steam was escaping iu volumes, they were hurried to the nearest pharmacy until am- uinces arrived, , When the firemen reached the building they had a trying ordeal to go through. Tbe cellar was a vertable sea of hot steam. yet it was necessary for the hremen to go down to save life and look out for the boiler. They did the work bravely and the steam was turned off from the boiler with out further accident resulting. Weims was found lying dead in a pool of water in the pit beneath the fly wheel. The force of the explosion had knocked him senseless and he fell face downward in four inches of water. He was thus asphyxiated. The men who suffered by the accident were mostly steam utters, but weims was an oner, mere was no evidence Of the explosion visible from the street and the theatre was not the least damaged by the accident. mt am j m A Panto Among Law Breakers. .

Investigating Destruction of Treas ury Records-r Revenue Cutters As signed to Goasc Patrol Duty for tbe Winter Treasury De partment Items A New Departure In Con struction of Bat tleships Deci ded Upon. Washington, Nov. 26 Auditor Baldwin and Logan Carlisle, who are investigating the recent destruction of; treasury records by a colored laborer for the sake of the stamps upon, them, intimate that there are others connected with the matter who are of more consequence than the colored laborer. The President has designated the revenue :ultex-aeorice steamers Levi Woodbury, A. J. Dallas, Samuel .Dexter, Alexander Ham ilton, W. H. Crawford, and Schuyler Colfax to perform special winter cruising upon the dangerous coasts of the United States. This action was taken in conformity with a sec tion of the revised status providing that 'The President may, when the necessities of the service permit it, cause any suitable number of publio vessels adapted to the purpose to cruise upon the coast in season of severe weather and to afford such aid to distressed navigators as their circumstances may require, and such public vessels shall go to- sea fully prepared to render such assistance." The recent offer of the treasurv to oav express charges both ways on gold deposited for currency is beginning to bear fruit, as several oners were received at the treasury tc-day. All were accepted It is explained that if the offers are made direct to the nearest sub-treasury by the tenderer, the transaction will be greatly facilitated Tne treasury gold reserve at the close of business to-day, with to cUv's gold engage ments deducted, stands at f 80,24,650. Gold was withdrawn at New York to day, as re ported to the, treasury, to the amount of $1,130,000. of which $730,000 was in gold bars and $400,000 in gold coin. There are the usual eonflictine renorta to day regarding the contest for the House omces. With the arrival of upwards of 100 Republican members the lines are being more tightly drawn, and greater interest is excited as to the result One of the reports in circulation to-day was that the defeated condidatefor clerk would probably be given the office of sergeant-at-arms as a compen sation for his failure to secure the office of his choice. The two candidates for this place are ex members. One is Mr- Mc Dowell, of Pennsylvania, and the other is Gen. Henderson,, of Illinois. So far as can be learned there ia no hnsin for the belief that the clerkship will be set tled in this manner. Mr. McDowell flatlv says that he will be a party to no such ar rangements "I am a candidate for the clerkship," he added, "I want that or noth ing. 1 would not have the office of ser geant at arms or any other office but that of the cierxsmp u it were presented to me on a silver salver." Mr W.J Glenn, of New York, who is . candidate for doorkeeper and who has formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the McDowell forces, and Mr. Remn- min F. Rnssell, of Missouri, who is also a member of the McDowell-Glenn mmhin. tion, as the candidate for sergeant-at arms, were present, in w.cu weu s private apart ments to-day when that gentleman made the foregoing declaration. When he had concluded, Messrs Glenn , and Russell each announced their disapproval of any propo sition which looked to their acceptance of any office except that for which they have announced tnemaeivea. " xou may say for me," said Mr Glenn, "that I came here to make the fight for the doorkeepershin. I want that office and I want no other. If I fil to secure it I shall go home. I do not intend to remain here and ask the support of my friends for anything else." Mr. Rus sell was equally positive in his assertion that he wanted the office of sergeant-at- arms, and tailing to get that, proposed re tiring from the race.

A new feature in battleship construction was authorized to-day by Secretary Herbert in his approval of a report submitted bv the special board of officers, of which Rear Ad- miralJohn G. Walker is president, con vened to consider plans for the Kearsage and the other battleship for which provi sion was made by the last Congress. The matter upon which the secretary passed, re lates to the position of tbe ram on these vessels. Heretofore the -Navy Department has favored tbe plan of placing the point of tbe ram 5 feet 6 inches helow the water line, which was a compromise between the Eng lish and the French ideas, the latter placing the ram point on the water line and tbe British haying it 11 feet below, as embodied in the United States battteship.Texas, which was constructed on isngush plans. .Recently, with reference to the two new battleships. Commodore Sicard, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, made the suggestion that the ram points should be lowered from the present standard of 5 feet 6 inches The idea met with opposition in the board of bureau chiefs or board on construction and Secretary Herbert referred the matter to the Special board. The recommendation of this board that the point be placed 9 feet below the water line was approved by ' the Secre tary. ; -; - The cruiser Minneapolis . is practically ready to start for Smyrna, Asia, , Minor. tQ assist in protecting American interests, but if the present bad weather continues her de parture will be delayed.

Railroad, from Moore, affirmed. The Roanoke Railway and Lumber com pany's road extends twenty miles in Beau fort and. Washington counties. The com mission has affidavits that the road had hauled passengers and freight for other than the corporation itself. Conn alleged that the corporation had contracted the road to a man named Parker who had col lected charges without knowledge or con sent of the corporation and in direct viola tion of its orders, and that he and not the corporation is responsible. The commis sion has not fully deeded the matter but is of opinion that the company should be assessed for taxation. The State, it is said, has a perfect right to tax an individual owning a railway. The Marrietta and North Georgia railway has been repeated called on by the commis sion for an annual report, but has failed to make a return.

After all, Liverpool was still active and the receipts not only at the ports, but at the interior towns con tinued to be considerably below those of last year and 1893.
