of damage done cannot be knows until a careful examination haa beea made. A large number of men win be throwa out of work by this accident, Tbe Letghtoa bridge work are known an over the coon-try aad their destruction ia this manner is a loss to Rochester. sCTSOB acctDEwm. A rumor states that a boose was blowa down oo Maple street or oa some street near there. Our reporters, however, were unable to verify tbe rumor, aa no particular could be learned.

A large tree wa blowa down on Hunter street. Tree la other places were badly damaged or blows down. It is supposed that a number of nnfnmtahed buildings have been badly damaged oa the outskirts of the city. The windows referred to above a a broken, ia the Washlngtoa ball block were in the office of Polly Croft. The amount of damage dona by the storm will probably aggregate many thoosaods of dollars.

Reports of various minor aosideat cams la frequently daring the Bight, aad at tola writing 8 a. m. tbe police bring accounts of very many little occurrenoea ia various portions of the city. A pile of barrels In tha alley back of the Clinton bouse were blown down and rolled down to Main street in a very lively manner. Aa attempt wa made to keep them ia their place bat la vain, aad at last they were stowed away in a shed.

A fishing tackle sign west somersaulting across the four corner and was carried to the leeward aide of Smith arcade to rest. A portion of the cornices of the Chapman House hotel oo South St. Paul street aad the City hotel oa the corner of Court and South St. Paul were brought to the ground. Tbe large sign at Phillips Co.

's coal yard near the canal bridge on Sooth St. Paul street was also blown down and broken. Considerable dsmage was done In tha lumber yards on Crouch Island between, the canal and river, where the wind from tha river had free play with tha lumber. Officer Monagban reported that the roof of a dwelling bouse oo North Clinton street waa damaged, tbe scuttle being blown; off and a portion of the cornice torn off. The sign oa tbe store of Louie Mar ley corner of fiaseaa and St.

Joseph street was blowa down and smashed to splinters oa tha pavement. Officer Joseph Gommen ginger reported that two windows aad a door ia the grocery store of James McGucken on the corner of Lyeil and State street were broken In by ths force of the wind. Some other slight damage was also done. Tbe scuttle of the roof of tbe house of Peter Kane, corner of Ly ell and State street were blowa off. German workshop, la which ft was stated that if there was any truth learned ta the comparative atody of religion.

It waa tbat terra waa aa inevitable decadeas la every religion exposed to contact with the world. Be said Max slier waa a Christian, although aot orthodox. People learned to dia-tiagaish between tbe Christianity of the 19th cavitary aad tbe Christianity of Carle. The doctrine of Christ waa found ta the three aa-cepted gospels those of Matthew. Mark and Lake.

They were written abaot the year 50, or seventeen year after tbo arnot-fix km. John was a self century later, or about tha year 95 or 100. Perhaps some might think they found in tha three gospels grounds for tbe doctrine of Unltarianism. Tta speaker wag a Unitarian, bat be could not find anything those books to justify bis belief. Ia John be could.

That apostle writing half a century later mixed la some of tbe dogma which had arisen. The epistle of Jamas did not suit Luther because be said 'Faith without works is dead, "but tbe speaker's opinion James case nearer tbe teaching of Christ than any other. 81. I'aul bad given some of the finest writing in tbe world, yet be had advanced soma ideas which had wrought infinite Injury to the world. Especially war these given ta Galatian and Romans.

TertoUiao a century later threw out of the bible the books of James, John, Peter, Revelations and Hebrew. About 300 years later, at the time of St. Augustine, wa find the bible just aa aow we have it. It was ao put together by tbe ecumenical council of Carthage la 393 la tbe time of Pope Innocent Now what bad happened The doctrines of original sin, of vicarious atonement, of election, predestination bad beea adopted, because St, Paul in Romans and Galatian bad put ia those dogma. Therefore 400 years afterChrist these doctrines were introduced to Christianity and beld to this day.

St Augustine held more influence over the world for 1,000 year thaa any other man that ever lived. He adopted ail those extreme views and advanced them with force ingenuity. He assumed the Infallibility of tbe Bible from tbe first of Genesis to the last of Revelations advocating the plenary in-ptratioa of the book. Tnea followed a long Interval of 1, 000 year of Roman Catholic role, when we come to one of tbe greatest event of history tbe reformation. To the reformer of that that time we owed much not ao much for the doctrine they have banded down, but because of their fine, brave fight against papal Infallibility, which forbade progress, proeecuied dissenters and shackled science.

Best of all, they gave to us the Bible in our own language whereas before It had beea in the Latin vul-gate and then no one waa allowed to read it save the priesta. At this point Mr. Owea rested a few mo-menu while the noted barritone W. H. Staples, sang in splendid style "In happy momenta, He waa heartily applauded.

Mr. Owea then resumed. The doctrine of tbe reformers had beea on trial since that time up to the present. Luther began in 1520 by burning tbe 'a bull. Ia 1750 two-thirds of Europe was Protestant.

Luthr thought Lopery was about to disappear altogether, as Spain and Italy alone remained true to it. Eighty years elapsed and tbe case was again reversed. Catholicism beld two-thirds and Protestantism one-third of tbe world. Ths proportion bas remained about the same ever since. Not one nation which was not protestant 300 year ago is protectant to-day.

The speaker tuCZ discussed the object of miracles. He claimed that the miracles ooue ij Christ were not miracles but were done under natural law. It so then this natural law being immutable existed at tbe present time. Did it so exist! It did!

A little mora than a month ago, ear raad-ars will remember, a length interview with i he celebrated Robert Dale Owea was published ia ths col mas of she Democrat and Chronicle. Tha famous author, loctarer and advanced thicker was at that time sojourning at tha Barilla Cora la aompaoy with his daughter, ia the hope of benefitting the latter health. A condensed biographical sketch was pub listed with tbe interview, which served to enlighten those not already oogairant of tbat fact, of tbe Important part Mr. Oa-ea had played la tha history of this country. This might seem scarcely neoes-aarr; as nearly everybody bas heard of Robert Dale Oaao, yet Inasmuch aa tbe maa was in our vicinity, aad, aa events proved, was to attract considerable public attention, tbo array of facta given were of maeh benefit, fastening themselves more permanently In tha minds of tha reader.

Tbe publication of this article la tha Democrat and Chronicle bad the affect to introduce Mr. Owea more immediately to tha Rochester publio and give them to aader-stand that a maa of bo ordinary merit and calibre was ia thejr vicinity. The result was that it was at once suggested Mr. Owea coma to this city aad deliver a lecture. A number of our leading business men, irrespective of denominational belief or prejudice, united ta a call to that effect.

Aa invitation, largely signed, waa despatched to Mr. Owea. His answer was returned yielding esaeot ta tha proposition, and last Bight Mr. Owea delivered an address ta Corinthian hall upon the subject of as an Element of Civilisation. Tbe severe storm of wind aad rata which set la at aa early boar last evening doubtless had a very material effect upon the size of the audience, keeping many, wbo would otherwise have beea in attendance, at their homes.

Nevertheless, there was a large audience present, about three-fourths of tha eats being occupied. At o'clock Mr. Owea appeared upon the platform accompanied by several of the leading men of tbe city. A piano solo, 'Marohe Triumphal by Knnkel, waa then played by Miss Nettle Wiicox of Springfield, Illinois, a pupil of W. H.

Staples la this city. Miss Wilcox Is very young but played with admirable skill and received hearty applause. A quartette consisting of Mrs. Kingsbury and Messrs. Monroe, Btaplas sod Greenhouse, stng "Good Night Beloved "in aa admirable manner.

At the conclusion of the quartette, W. D. Sbuarx introduced Mr. Owen, who was loudly applauded as ha took his position at tha desk. Tbe following sketch of his address will be found of great interest: Be had undertaken, be said, to speak upon a subject which, at the best, could but be barely sketched la a single discourse.

To do It justice would require a long aeries of lectures. Ho fell strangely ia speaking to a Rochester audience, oa account of tha historical recollections which were connected with the subject in band, taking place ia this city. Rochester waa known all over the civilised world because it gave rise to a remarkable modern movement known as tee Rochester knocking. la the very ball where be waa sneaking the claims of tha Fox sisters were first investigated and tested, according to the plans of various theories. about a dozen in number, among which was tha toe-joint" theory and others equally empty aod unsatisfactory.

He was glad to speak here, yet the Invitation to do so was accepted with much hesitation. He had beea well for some time, and it was a matter of much difficulty for him to speak. A perron at bis time of age should give his thoughts to the public through tbe columns of tbe press and not from the platform. Ha asked the indulgence of the audience, if he should speak to them while sitting. Spirit rappiegs were andoubtsd'y the e-b-c of spiritualism.

It waa a simple beginning, but many of the most sublime theories in the world's history bad had but bumble beginning. An apple once fell from a tree In a man's orchard. Had the owner of tbe orchard seen it be might possibly bave thought bis apples were simply getting ripe. Isaac Newton saw it and discovered in I the principle which controls the movements of the universe, Bo the speaker thought worth i hile investigate the phenomena of spirit rsppiags. The eldest of tha Fox sis ters, after the death of her husband, Mr.

Brown, married a prominent insurance man of New York, named Underbill. Oa their Invitation be visited their residense and in vestigated the rapping. He ascertained that they could be obtained ia every room of the bouse and on every floor. They went out with aa exeorsion party, and tbe raps were obtained oo a steamboat. Tney landed, and the rape were distinctly heard la a tree npon tbe bank.

At one time, ha stated, be waa rUing to New Rochelle with a party, id eluding Mrs. Under hill, and on pasning a ledge of rocks he asked her if raps could be beard npon tbe rocks. Immediately three distinct raps were beard on the bottom of the carriage. Tbe party alighted and the experiment was tried on a large shelf of rock. Rutting hi ear to the rock, ia Oeea beard the raps and also felt tha rock vibrate under bis hand.

Without stating that fact he requested another man la the company to place his band oa the rock and he immediately stated that he could feel It shake under tha rape. Thus far hearinir went but on one occasion at Mrs. Under bill's bouse, the speaker saw the raps. Tbere were luminous phenomena floating around tha room and these went oa under tha sable hen the raps occurred. They could dis tinctly be seea there, and whenever a rap was given one of these lights fell to the floor, One assumed the shape of a phosphorescent band and floating across the room to a door.

rapped so loudly upon It that a dog ia the passage ootalds barked. Oa this oooasioa the speaker triad the experiment of obtaining an answer so a mental question. ue asaea mentally (net three raps be given very softly. He saw one of the lights approach the table aad give three raps so softly aa hardly to be di unguisnea, aaa yet ae heard them. At one time la tha daylight at this house the raps came with a sound precisely as if cammoa bails bad been dropped upon tne floor.

Oa this oocasioa he received a eomaunieatiOB from a deceased friend. Dr. A. I). WUsoo, rhis was as follows: "lam little chanced.

my knowledge of the spiritual world I not so great as yoa suppose. I aa aura of things tbat once I hoped for. I have found many be- lovid friends and kaow ws are Immortal A. D. Wilaoa." If this was true, now impor tant was its revelation.

The Rochester rap-pings were oommeaced with reUgioa, aad hence be thought them worth studying. 1 here waa no trus eivuisaUoa. without raligkta aad more especially not witaout Cartssieaity, Bs said this, not because it was fashionable to say this ia a Christina country, but because he would explain bis ideas of Christianity aa differing from religion.

There was nothing to be tavestigated however, save the circa instances above related, and ao inquest was considered necessary. TKIALS OF A LAffTER. The Efleete ef a Twe I4ae Saverttse ta ike Oeaaeerat aaa Chreatcle. Frost the Cntoa ef lestenlar. Some two weeks ago a popular young lawyer ia this city invested ia a norseend buggy-Of course he believes It is tbe beet horse in tbe city, and that In toe course of years it will rival the renowned Dexter.

Tbe beauties and fine points of the 'anlmile' have beea such a bountiful theme of discussion that some of bis friends have become quite excited over the matter, and considering tbat so valuable a beast should have a competent groom, inserted the following; advertisement la this morning 's paper without bis knowledge and also without it oosting him anything. Wanted. COMPETES fcKOUM to take care of a vslusole horse. Apply to J. stoom 93, Powers' Block.

On bis arrival at the office this mornUig three competent grooms, of different ehades and complexions, were waiting for him, and each pressed their respective claims wita voluble energy. After the surprise aad worn off, be informed them that he was not ia vit of a groom, that some friend bad mischievously inserted tbe advertisement, that be regretted tbe trouble they had beea at. and politely bowed them out, He bad just settled down to work when a knock came at the door, aod ia response to a come In, a head appeared, ornamented at tbe top by several rows of curly hair. Toe face was an exceedingly dark one, and from a mouth of tbe most cavernous depths a boarse voice demanded Is de man dat wants a valuable groom In Tbe lawyer again apologised for tbe unnecessary trouble tbe colored gentleman had been put to, and explained to the dejected darkey bow the mistake arose. Another attempt at work wa made, when tbe door opened with a boll and a long-legged, red-headed man forced himself in with tbe inquiry, "Ssy, boss, are you the maa that 's got a valuable hoss wbat wants a groom to take care of him Scarcely were the words out of his mouth when three others appeared with the aame question.

Two fresh arrivals then announced their presence and the lawyer, mounting a chair, proceeded again to explain bow tbe matter arose. Tbe last arrivals did no appear to take the affair as ocietly aa the others, and sounds like "putting a head oa yer, and other remarks of a similar nature were heard. After reading them a whole chapter from tbe New York revised statutes oa tbe penalties that would arise from such a proceeding, and giving each of them a "quarter" to drink bis health, he succeeded in inducing them to take their departure. He again aat himself down to study the points in the case of Hayden vs. Ashby, when the door was softly opened and a greasy-looking bead appeared, while a soft voice 'murmured, "Say, mister, do yer want 'but he never got any further aa a whole library of law book wa flung at him, whereupon the maa disappeared, thinking no doubt he had broken in upon a lunatic The case waa becoming desperate, and the unfortunate horse owner thought the safest pla to vacate tbe office for a tic.S.

Accordingly tbe following sign, aa prepared and posted oa the door: i 3.C. Ja. S8 POWSSS'S BCTLDDfOS, I GONB LSTO THE COUNTRY, Will be Back Jfext Tear. Our reporter met him afterwards, with a carpet sack in one band aad a copy of the paper in the other, making a bee-line for parts unknown. It is hardly necessary to add to this account that tbe advertisement was handed in, paid for and appeared to be In a bona fide one.

We reproduce the ton's article, because It shows in a lively way, the sure ea i-sequences of advertising in tha Democrat and Chronicle. Our successful business men, and in fact all who advertise in any way, bave discovered long ago; tbat every line ia tbe Democrat and Chronicle ia scanned, and that even tbe briefest notice in tta columns attracts attention. If there are any fogies left who fail to see tbe benefits of advertising or who are uncertain where to advertise, we ask them to read the Uaion's graphic description of the effect cf a mere line or two in yesterday morning's issue of the Democrat and Chronicle. Mason's Case. It appears that the case of Mason, who is alleatd to bave given Eisor counterfeit money and who ia now in Ludlow street jail, haa not yot ended.

As will appear from the fallowing, from the New York World of yesterday, Mason Is still making efforts to escape tbe penalty of the law: George Alfred Mason, who was recently eonvicu-d in the United States court of couo-terteitisg, and wbo is now in Ludlow street jeii, has written a letter to Sir Edward Tnorntoo, tne English minister, claiming bit protection as an Eoglishsubject Hesaysbe was convicted by false swearing, and asks Sir Edward to take up hi case aod provide him with counsel, as he is without funds. Mason's story is substantially as fallows: During the war he was engaged as a rebel spy. ia 17 Mr. Seward, secretary of state, gave him certain work to do for the government. Subsequently he went to Canada aad established himself as a private detective.

While toere he made the acquaintance of one Har wood, a counterfeiter, wbo is now in the Pniiadelphie penitentiary. Harwood waa in league with a gang of counterfeiters, and their; queer paper flooded the western states. Mason communicated with tbe United States government officials, and it was arranjred under Colonel Whitley that he should receive (3 a day and bis expenses, and other rewards oa the conviction of any of the forgers. He went west, fell in with a gang of counterfeiters, and claims that the conviction of Giilan and Allan, forger, was tbe result of thai expedition He obtained possession of tbe plates, and hruided ou0 of spurious bills to Cnief Washburn. Oa his return aiasen says Washburn was anxious to make a reputation, and asked him to -put op a job" against John of Chicago, wbo waa known to be a friend of counterfeiter, but tbi Mason refused to do.

Subsequently some 'queer' bills were found ia Kttterbouse's valise wben be was arrested by asbburn, and be ia now serving aigbt years' imprisonment on testimony supplied by Wasbrurn. Mason aays the bills found ia Kilter house's valise were part of the "swag" received by him (Mason) from the forgers Boon after a bad feeling sprung up between Wasbburn and Mason, wntob waa not Improved by Mason selling Secretary Br lew of Washburn's share in the Bitter-boose affair. Washburn then told Mason hs would "fix blm. la conclusion. Mason aeks the British minister so procure him a new trial, ia order that eertaia of his witnesses kept back by Washburn may be pro-oored.

He also charges Chief Washbura aad Detective Duckworth of St. Lou's, with receiving bribes and conniving at the escape of con iota from St. Louis jail. Death of Mrs. James Toang.

Beeertty at aleasasea A new departure which will attract maeh attention has just beea oadertakea by one of the best knows and most reliable insurance ageoeiea of this city, that of Basil fc Levett 2 Exchange street.

It has long been knows and felt by tbe insuring publio, that tha arbitrary rules and tariff rates of" the national board of underwriters were ia many esse not only unjort bat were actually a hindrance to the real aim and purpose of Insurance. The rare facilities now possessed for the extinguishment of Ores ia this city reader the high rate established by the national board exorbitant, aad a it ha beea found Impossible to remedy this matter by direct appeal to tbe board, accompanying a plain statement of facts, Basil Levett nave decided to take the ease into their own hands and dissolve connection wit that combination. This action enables them to give their patron the same reliable insurance as formerly and enable them moreover to provide it at much lower rates. Five of the oid companies this agency ha represented for a number of years past, stand by toe new movement and give it their bearty sanction aad support. Hereafter then, our business men will be glad to learn, tbe location of buildings, their surroundings, the faculties tney posees for protection against fire, together with a judicious mixture of reason aad common sense will acids a to wbat rate et insurance will be joat and equitable.

Tbe dictation of no combination or association can be allowed to interfere, aad business will be transacted ea a thoroughly safe aad sound basis, oa ths aoa-boarU, independent principle. Buell Levett will, ia a few days, publish ia advertisement form a fun and complete list cf the companies they represent, tell what they propose to do, and give their reasons for it. The movement is one which will receive the hearty endorsement and sanction of all. Business Along the State Line Railway. The complaint bas sometimes een made tbat tbe opening of a new railway spoils tha business of smaller towns as it bring purchasers to a common center.

Tula may be true aa describing the effect oa such dealers aa lack enterprise, but not oa those who know bow to conduct the branch of trade ia which they may be engaged, ao matter what tbat branch is. It is true that the village dealer is brought, by the change, into competition with city merchants, but then his facilities are also greatly increased, and above all, be never has to raise prices to cover extraordinary rente. A good instance In proof of our position that the opening of a railway need not affect the prosperity of village dealers is found In the enterprising establishment conducted by Neafle At Shad bolt, in tha village of Scotts-vtlle. This well established firm ia vea mors successful thaa ever, and tha opening of tha State Line railway ha rather helped thaa hindered It trade. Messrs.

Neafle Shad bolt deal ia a great variety of goods, combining half a dozen city establishments in one. Of coarse tbe fault with many stores of that kind is that but little variety is displayed in any department, but this Is not the case with the ScottsvUie house. In the line of dry good tbe firm display an extensive stock of woolens, dreas goods, domestics and flannels. There ars also notions, hosiery, gloves aad fancy goods of all kinds. The store bas furthermore a large grocery department together with crockery, wooden ware, tobaccos, wall papers, paints and oils, hat and caps; in abort, every class of articles required in the vicinity by an kind of customers.

We call attention to Messrs. Neafle Shad-bolt's trade not for the purpose of puffing it, but as we said to illustrate the fact that merchants can prosper along tbe line of a rail way leading to a large city. But they must know bow to conduct business and keep abreast of the times, and these are ths particular points in which the ScottsvUie firm excel. Taey are sure toprosper. Bnf for Sale Cheap.

Other and Lighter Mishap Oaa of tha strongest galea of wind which bave prevailed in Rochester passed over tbe city last night, It commenced about half past seven o'clock and steadily increased in violence until it blew a perfect gale. A visit to OLD PBOBABXXJTTZ3 office In that city was made by our reporter about 11 o'clock. It wa then learned that tbe wind came mainly from the southwest, aad that It Telocity at 8 p. m. waa about twenty-five mile aa hour.

It soon increased to forty-eight miles aa hour, a very heavy wind. At twenty-five minute after nine tbe wind wa going at tbe rate of four miles ia five minutes. Tha pi ess lire of tbe wind waa eleven aad one-balf pounds against every square foot of matter obstructing it course. This bows the power of tbe steady wind and aot of the gust which prevailed aad which came with much greater force. REMOVED.

Along the main streets of this city are number of wooden awning which have always been a auisance to those passing upon the walk below them. About 8 o'clock the wooden awnings ia front of Cone Kendall's gents furnishing goods store, Kolb Oberg's clothing store and Morlev Wightman, numbers 7, 8 and 8 Main street, was dIowb down. The street was crowded at tha time, but all escaped except J. J. Doyle and Jus tin a Layman, wbo were knocked down.

Mr. Doyle wa severely injured about the head aad hand, while Mrs. Layman suffered severe injuries to her aide, bead and back. Dr. E.

J. Brennan, who chanced to be passing, attended tbe sufferers. Carriages were called and Mr. Doyle, who is employed and resides at the Oeburn house, waa removed to that hotel, while Mrs. Layman waa taken to her residence in 3euhart' block, on Main street.

CHimntY FALLS. About 9 o'clock a high brick chimney on tbe roof of Sibley' block, corner of Main and St, Paul streets, gave way and fell to tbe sidewalk below with a loud noise. A crowd of people were passing tha crosswalk at tha time, but a timely cry of Look out' spurred their footsteps. They fled In all directions and escaped. It waa remarkable that no accident, occurred from the falling brick as they struck over a large space.

Workmen bave been engaged in putting a slate roof npon tbe Sibley block aad the slates wbici were plted upon the rojj were thro wo in all directions, smashing window in the Osbum bouse and other places, but doing no damage to persons, so far as learned. The brick also fell at intervals bom tbe broken chimney to the ground. Captain Sullivan and Policemen Keith, Hayden and Connolly did very effective service In warning people of the danger of passing near tbe dangerous place. They also procured a rope aad tied it from lamp-pott to the building In such a way as to keep the people away from danger. About an hour after the chimney bad fallen, a man whose name waa not learned, passed along St.

Paul street by tbe Oabura house. He waa struck by a falling brick upon the back. Raising tne cry of "police! police!" he fled down Isorth St. Paul street, The extent of bis Injury is not known, though Policeman Hay dtn attempted to stop him. Tne flying slate did much damage to the windows in the vicinity.

THB LCKBEB TaSDS in the various part of the city auffsred much from the storm, the piles of lumber being overthrown, the boards broken and scattered around. McGraw'a yard on Broadway is reported in a very damsged condition. The yards on Exchange street suffered also, the lumber being spread over tbe street. The coal sheds on Sophia street near the canal bridge were partly blown down. A sign waa bio wn down and broka four large pains of plass in the Washington hail block corner of Main aad Clinton streets.

BLOWS OPEJT. A number of windows and door are believed to bave been blown in. The windows of Mr. Broom's residence oa North St. Paul street were blows in and badly damaged.

The door of Bainbridge' flour store oo Exchange street were also forced opea. Tne wheat, flour, corn, oats, etc, which were in the store were blowa together, and a great deal of injury was committed. A FIGHT WITH rlKE, Yesterday aftemooa a quantity of straw waa deposited oa Troup street near the corner of Exchange street, This wa discovered to be on fire. As ths wind carried tbe sparka into tha extensive lumber and shingle sheds near by, there was great danger of a destructive conflagration. Officers Johnson and Cole, with the assistance of several citisens suppressed the flames, however.

There was little water to be had and the work was very difficult. Tha police prevailed in tha end and tha averted a bad fire. The railing on the south side of Mala street bridge waa partly blown over. The articles piled about Phillips's auction store were knocked about and broken badly. On South St, Paul street a number of empty barrels were roiling around at their own sweet will.

FoUoemaa Hayden waa kept busy for some time la securing the flying barrels aad placing them ia places of security. One of abase barrel came ia contact with a horse and carriage aad caused a slight runaway. Wherever empty barrels were left npon the sidewalk or ia a convenient place for tbe wind they were aaat whirling around tha streets, causing oonsidar-able inconvenience. A fence is said to have been blown down on Monroe avenue aad another oa North street or North avenue. The statute of Pickwick ta front of the Pickwick cigar store was nearly blowa over, and had to be removed to a place of safety.

The glass In the large spectacle of the status waa blows out and broken. A number of banging sfgs were removed aad damage done by those to neighboring windows. The umbrella signs of Mrs. Neale in the El wood block, corner of Maia aad State street, were destroyed. Various awnings along Main and State streets were badly damaged.

Tbat ia front of Doane'a nuilinery store was shattered. LATER. PESTRCCTIOB or IXIGHTOS 'S BRIDGE WOUKA. About two o'clock this morning oar reporter ascertained that the iroa bridge works of Thomas Leigh toa ta East Rochester had beea dUaMroyed, Proceeding to Mr. Leiga-ton's house he learned the following facta: About midnight a railroad maa came to Mr.

Leightoa's residence aad stated that the end walla of the shop bad beea blowa down, that the -private Bight watchman's tegs had beea broken by the failing walls, that he had beea carried away aad that there wa danger ef aaa whole building falling. Mr. Leightoa procured a bone aad drove to the soars of tbe disaster immediately. Ha found hot shops to rums; they had beea completely destroyed by the wind. There waa aa oaa at the place who coold give a definite aceoeat of the disaster, bat a ia svppoeed that tha eada of tha long shop gave way and the wind passing through raised the roof aad allowed the walls to fail In.

Mr. Leightoa estimates tha loss at trace to 175,000, though it may amount te aaora. There wa a great deal of heavy aad eeatry machinery ia tbe shop aad deetrsetioa of tbi anU swell to above figures. The exact attooat rv-ws-k ie a ns c. hmm Wd-Bs ('Krkit I street.

Obtaining the People's 21 oner Under False Pretense. The following communication we reproduce from tbe Express Already it has been shown that the engineer 's estimate wa a transparent bumbug, in tbe quantities shown at the lettfogs. First, it was shown that the quantity of brick, 4, -000, Ouu, was a humbug by which McDonald euchred Gere Candee out of the contract. Thus the difference between them, oa their aggregates, was only tl, Gere Co.

were humbugged by tbe brick, so that they bid fill per while McDonald learned the ruse, and only bid 1. Tnua McDonald beat him McDonald put -joo 'where it did the most good, which he pot on oak lumber, etc. aa we will show. McDonald's bid was what our Senator tried to explain in a speech about a "balanced bid the balance would always be ia the Lords' favor. Here we snow how this "sliding scale" kind of building works; thus, 210,000 feet of trenching are shown.

Gere Co. bid twenty cent per foot, while Lord Co. bid sixty cents per foot. This made a difference of 000 above Gere Co. notwithstanding McDonald was sup-pored to be 7, 1U5 below Gere Co.

Now, of brick there was to be none, but there wa to be ninety miles of trenches, instead of tbe forty miles shown the bidders, bid on. This fact McDonald had learned when he bid (the next dav after the others bid.) Hence, McDonald added 1 105,000 more to his bid over Gere Co- 's bid, making in ail lW.OOO! This waa smart in George. But Gere Co. bid oa brick at 1 10 per and George bid only fl per thus we must add to the 000. Gere' loss.

making George i7, 5 z'scrz Ore 1 et be started on f7, l5 below Uere 8c Co. George bids on 5, 000 yards of rock at three dollars per yard, and Gere two dollars, and here George wins $5, 000 more, on forty miles, or 11, 250 on ninety miles, making him above G. Co. liia, 055 almost a quarter of a million of dollars. Let us look at the lumber bfll.

The engineer's quantities given are 200. 000 feet of hemlock, luu.uouot pine, 10,000 of oak. Se the engineering Georgedoes. Again, on tha large amount of hemlock he bid twelve dollars, and G. Co.

thirty dollars on pine George ia thirty acd Gore forty and on oak George is tlOO aod Gere fifty dollars per M. This 10, 000 feet of oak waa a naked fraud. It takes feet of oak blocks to tbe lineal foot for the conduit plpea. or IL, ted feet of oak to each mile, and 1, -0 feet of ptne. Thus, for the 28 miles, there to be itfGiO feet of oak, aod 55.440 feet of pine wedges Tbe distribution pipe in the city being smalrer.

at a low estimate will take 1 :3 feet of oak to each lineal toot, and sixty miles would make 475, feet of oak work, and for the crib work in Hemlock lake S-W, -000 feet cf oak more, making 1. 107. 40 feet of oak, at tin) per M. equals JI10. 74.

Or, subtract Gere's price from it, $55, puts George ahead of Gere t-W, 417. We have not added anything for pine, and yoa need not look for hemlock to be mentioned for it all passea under the head of ptne. Many and many a hemlock wedsre waa used and counted as pine Thus 10, X) feet of oak swells up toover 1,000,000 and 210, 000 feet of trenching, at t0 cents (because tney are large prices swells up to 5.5, 000 ttetof trenching. Again, in tbe quantities, 10,000 yards of embankment is given, and 60 eta, is the price per yard, where it is baulee over 1, 000 yards. Lookout for a big haul of embankment materia, over 1,000 yards, in constructing the two reservoirs, aod particularly at the upper one, in the change of plans made.

This dose corporation tells you if yoa will let them finish the water works, they will be "placed in cut of tbe cold for life. while every man, woman and child will be rearing ia Mount Hope, elsewhere before the debt is payed. Tbe idea of pure water is very plausible indeed but coal was no better at seventeen dollars per ton than wbea at six dollars. The old spelling-book told of tha lad who paid too much for a whistle, ana it is applicable here. There is too much Credit Mobflier about thai contract.

The money can be plased where it will do the moat good, at the discretion of the engineer in charge.

Owen spoke for some time upon this portion of his subject, showing bow the word i of Christ and of the apostles relative to sptritua! gifts, etc could ail be easily explained by tbe doctrine of spiritualism and in no other way. Christ had said, Verily I say ant) you, he that belie veth ia me, the works that I do shall he do, and greater works thaa I do shall he do. All true spiritualists held to the main, simple truth of Christianity.

Tuey believed in benevolence, in keeping the poor, in relieving the sick and those la the bonds of suffering, tbat what they did for their fellow man they did for God. How much waa honesty needed now? The audience could apply this principle in the canal frauds recently brought to light, The lecturer then read tbe Beatitudes, very eloquently accompanying them with bis own remarks. In conclusion he said be wished to state the treatest ally spiritualism bad was death. He.ref erred to Tennyson 'a "In Memoriam, and read extracts therefrom.
