Mise. siu 2d EDITION. liM Mb It Ik star. JUDGE THIIRJIjUT IR A ITORJL An Eallrealaf Pattart Lake Sj, Blf St. Clair Smrwoe, August leaving the Hospitable club house at Grease Point, the Thurman party had an expeflence which will probably not soon be forgotten.

The wind had ben fresh and as soon as the Picket cleared away from the wharf it became evident that a rough passage waa to be had. Lake St. Clair is a comparatively small body of waier and as is frequently the oase In such, It seems able to prepare storms to suit the taste on short notice. Twenty ml lea of rough sailing In the little steam-yacht that seemed almost ready to be swallowed up In the big made an enlivening evening, although those who remained on deck thought it rather a damp one. Big waves splashed over the boat, dwochtng them from head to foot.

The staunch little vessel rode the waves tike a cork, and scarcely any one suffered from sea-sicknesa, although one reporter lost his hat and supper at the same time and auother member of the party had a similar experience. JVDOM THURMAN ENJOT8 TBI BTOKX. After two hours and a-half the canal at the St. Clair Flats was reached, and from there on smooth sailing was enjoyed, the party being welcomed here at five minutes before 1 o'clock this morning. Judge Thurman enjoyed the trip greatly, and seemed not at all inconvenienced by the storm.

After the smooth water in the canal and St. Clair Kiver was reached, he entered into lively conversation with such members of the party as had survived the "terrors of the deep, giving and gaining information regarding the effect of the tariff on American labor and industries. A PASSING MIDNIGHT SALCTK. Passing Marine city ttie party received a neat midnight salute, although no stop was made. Chinese lanterns bad been tastily hung along the dock, red, white, and blue lights were burned, a small cannon spoke welcome, and steam whistles and human voices added to the volume of the greeting.

The electric lights of the Oakland House were a welcome sight to the party, wno had been conllned to the little yacht for over twelve hours, and the reception on landing was a fine one, rockets and Roman candles -sh. otlng In every direction In front of the big hotel building gave a glowing and resounding welcome. The guests of the hotel, who are many, joined In shouting, the pet cries being, "What's the matter with Thurman?" and the response, "He's all right." With the hearty cheers resounding In their eai-s, all retired to bed the morning. The speeches to-day will begin at about 3 o'clock, and the crowd In attendance promises to be immense. Theday Is perfect, although sllgnily cool, and everything seems to conspire to make the occasion a grand success.

A fresh breeze has set in. Judge Thurman passed a refreshing night and Is feeling ready for the day. congressman Whiting this morning received a message from Postmaster-General Don M. Dickinson, stating his Inability to be on hand, and sending greeting and good wishes. At 12:30 the Picket win start on the 12-tnlle trip to Port Huron, where the big meetings will be held at 3 and 7:30 o'clock.

Judge Thurinan will speak first in the afternoon and the other speakers will be Congressmen Hatch, of Missouri; Outhwalte, of uulo; shively, of Indiana, and Whiting, of Michigan: W. P. Burt, W. B. and others of state prominence, a parade will be held in the afternoon and in the evening a grand torchlight procession.

TEM SAID TO HAVE KILLED. The Town of Still Pond, Sullen Severely from the Tornado. Baltimore, August of the storm In the southern portion of the state are coming In very slowly, but It Is known that the damage has been very severe. The cyclone struck the vlllasre of Still Pond, Kent County, with particular severity. Houses were blown down, and ten people are said to have been killed.

There is no telegraphic communication, and the reports are mostly received from the steamers arriving from points along the bay. THE DELAWARE TORNADO. One Ulnn Killed and a Large Number Injured bjr Ik Wilmington, August following is a list of casualties caused by last evening's storm in this neighborhood. Theodore H. Bruce, blacksmith, near Hares Corner, caught under the timbers of his wrecked shop and killed.

Injured and lying in the county hospital: Caleb colored, aged forty-seven, three ribs broken; Caroline Davis, his wife, aged forty-three, skull hurt; Clara Davis, aged seven; Joanna Davis, aged nine; Mrs. Annie Thomas, aged twenty-two, severely but not dangerously hurt, their daughters. The Davis family occupied a house near the almshouse. At Win. Turner's house, half a mile be) oud the city limits, the following were Injured: Win.

Turner, aged nfty-Ilve, Injuries serious; Mrs. Wm. Turner, aged ntty, badly bruised; Mrs. Jesse Turner, her daughter, and Wm. Prescott, aged fifteen, of Chester; David Lenu, the occupant of a house near by, lace badly cut.

At Robert Fisher's house Grace Wilson, aged seven, and Maggie Wilson, aged eighteen were severely bruised, and Harry Wilson, aged four, was injured internally by Hying timber. The tornado passed about a half mile southward of South Wilmington In a track about 2U0 yards wide, sweeping north of the almshouse it tore through 5 acres of woodland, snapping off trees 2)f feet thick and whirling them high in the air. On It came levelling houses, outbuildings, fences, trees, and almost everything in its path, and moving northeasterly, struck the Delaw.re Kiver between 4th-stieet wharf and Eagemoor. Thence It turned up the river for about 2 miles, when, changing Its course. It crossed the river, striking the Jersey shore about 5 miles above Penn's Grove.

Cbas. Cathcart, occupying a tenement house near the Christiana Rolling Mill, picked up his three-year-old child and ran out of the house when the storm came. lie was struck by flying timbers and iell upon his culld, fracturing Its skull, cathcart was not much hurt, but his child and little Harry Fisher may die. The other victims of the storm are likely to recover. Among the property losses are: Christiana hulling Mill, an entire wreck, luss Randolph Peters' buildings and nursery, damaged $20,000 to $25,000.

Gen. J. H. Wilson's residence was unrooted and the outbuildings destroyed. Here a horse was blown into an ice-house 14 feet deep and 50 feet distant, escaping unharmed, while the carriage to which It was attached was torn to iragments.

The damage to small houses, barns, orchards, and his stock In the storm path wll foot, up from $25,000 to $50,000. A report that two Penns Grove truckers were drowned ou their way to Wilmington during the storm proves to be unfounded. A Hotel the Sheriff. Lancaster, August for $4,000 have been issued against J. D.

Klshel, proprietor of the Grape Hotel, one of the leading hotels or this city, aud the house has been closed by the sheriff. to Jlakc AMignment A satisfactory ahrangemknt of tub trouble in THE NEW YOKK QKAIN TRADE. New York, August before the grain trading opened a meeting of members of the grain trade as held in the "call' room. It was there announced by Mclutyre that Mr. Post would make no assignment, but would waive the rule ana settle on the prices of the "first call," provided the market was somewhere near last night's figures.

His contracts show, it was said, a "short" interest on wheat of 1,500,000 bushels, and a "long" interest on corn of boo.ooo bushels. The wheat market opened with much excitement, but was irregular and not as high as had been expected. some "curb" tradiug was done last night after the close of the Exchange, upon the announcement of the failure, at $1 for December wheat. This morning December wheal was sold at the same moment at aud There was a rush to sell corn, and piles broKe There has been full buying in to cover Mr. Post's contracts, and the traders feel greatly relieved at the satisfactory outcome of the (allure.

It is the general opinion on the floor of the exchange that Mr. Post would successfully bridge over his troubles. That gentleman has two days leit to act, according to the rules, but It is thought his principal creditors wll not push him, and that he will, before to-morrow, realize a sum sufficient to meet all pressing liabilities. So far Mr. Post's suspension has had but little eflect and no further disturbance is looked lor in the markets here.

It is stateu that the trade had banded together to protect both Mr. Post and themselves, and that settlements have been made on the basis of prill Not Prevent It to the Queen. Glasgow, August sir Henry Ponsonby, the queen's private secretary, has refused to present to her majesty a petition signed by the Irishmen of tilasgo praying lor the release from prison of Mr. Jonn Dillon. The Queen in Scotland.

Glasgow, August queen arrived at Renfrew this morning on her way to this city, where she will visit the exhibition this afternoon. The day is pleasant. Tne houses-of the city are decorated with Hags and there is much rejoicing over the prospective visit of the queen. Thof Will he Promoted. Constantinople, August German officers who announced their luteutlon to resign from the Turkish army hare agreed to remain, the government having promised to promote them all From Wall Street To-day.

New Yore, August 22,11 a.m?First prltfesln the stock market this morning were generally small fractious lower than last evening's figures, but the only important changes were a loss of per cent In Missouri pacific and a gain of per cent in New York Central. The early trading, however, developed a very strong tone, and values daring the first half hour climbed rapidly on a large business in mast of the active stocks. Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred roee ljk; New York central and Missouri Pacific each; Lake Shore and the remainder fractional amounts. Lackawanna, Lake Shore and Reading were the leaden la activity. With St.

Paul, Missouri Pacific, Northern Pacific preferred, Western Union, Union Pacific aaa New York central following, while the Inactive stocks were almost neglected. After 10:30 the advance waa checked, and a reaction of slight fractions followed: the market then became dial and so continued until the sad of the bow, 1 though then was nothing like wsslrsssa sad st 11 o'clock ths market was qtdst batiraatw near the bset prioss resetted. FALL OF THE HIGH TOWER. The Campanile of the Church of the Covenant in Bains. CRUSHED BY ITS OW5 WEIGHT, The Beautiful Structure to the I Earth with It la lit Fall a Port tea at I the of the Catae- trophe by an BfeWltnnw-Whr It wt not Unexpected? I'neqnai Strength Of the Piers of the Tower The beautiful stone tower ol the Church ot the Covenant, in course ot erection at the corner ot Connecticut avenue and street.

Rev. T. F. Hamlln, pastor, fell down early this morning. A portion ol tbe west and south walls, about 20 teet above the foundations, seems to have been crushed oat, aad the entire tower fell In on itself.

So complete was the collapse that the great mass of stone was piled around the babe of the tower and did not extend beyond tbe curb of the There were no scattered stones In the street, and the great tower, 158 feet high, seems to have come crushing down in nearly a straight line. The only portion ot the tower remaining standing is the lower part, some 25 or 30 feet high. Tbe north half of the tiled roof, as far back as the lantern, was crushed in. A portion of the stone gable in front is in ruins, and the large central window, with Its carved-stone arch. The walls east of the tower remain intact, and with the exception ot the tall of one-halt of the west roof, the disaster is confined to the tower.

A WITNESS DISASTER. The colored watchman was the only witness of the catastrophe, lie was standing on the opposite corner ot the street shortly before 6 o'clock this morning. Ue felt, be told a Star reporter, that the tower was going to tall. It had been cracking and settling-all the evening. He was therefore on the watch and spent tne greater part of the night In the street.

Just beiore the tower fell he said tnat Ue saw the west side, a short distance above the doorway, bulge out. Then the stones corresponding on the souih face ot the tower bent out, the area covered being about six feet. Finally these portions of the tower gave way and fell lo the ground, followed by a heavy rush as the great mass oi the stone work from which the support had suddenly teen withdrawn, came tumbling to the ground. The earth shook with the force ot the concussion and a roar Oiled the air, then clouds of dust followed. When the dust had disappeared, the stately structure ot stone lay in ruins.

THE REPORT OF THE FALL was not generally heard in the neighborhood and but lew persons came to the scene of the disaster. Later in the morning, as the early risers began to stir and us people looked out ot their windows, they missed something In the horizon. The great square tower of stone which had becone such a conspicuous feature In the neighborhood had disappeared. Shortly beiore 7 o'clock the workmen who were employed on tne building began tocome to their work. The stone-work on the tower was nearly completed and preparations were being made to put on the tiled rooL The other portions ot the work ol the building were equally tar advanced.

The interior was about done, with Its elaborate hulsn In antique oak and the elegantly painted walls. The pews and a magnificent organ were to be put up In a tew days, and the prospect was favorable for the completion ot tne omitting by the tot ot October. Many of the workmen expressed no surprise when they gazed upon the collapsed tower. They had reason to doubt its security. During the preceding day the wails had been cracking and sealing.

These latter signs, however, were no novelties. For some past there had been similar indications of weakness. THE FIKST DEVELOPMENT appeared in the pier at the soutnwest corner several weeks ago. Here several pieces ot the Ohio stone composing the water course had been forced out. It was said to have been due to unequal pressure, and tne architect, Mr.

Cady, was summoned from New York to Inspect tne defect. A member of his firm came on, and it was stated that the fault could be easily remedied, and that the stones forming the water course hich were broken could be removed and others put in their place. This had not been done. At tne same time various cracks had appeared on the north side of the wall near the tower, and some ot the workmen stated to-day that large cracks appeared In the face of the tower yesterday. The walls liad been built very solidly.

The stone used was what is known as the Barber stone, being a light stone something lite Onto stone, and is found along the upper Potomac. The Ohio stone was used as courses. THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE CHCKCH was what Is known as Uomanesque, and in keeping with that style the tower was a square structure about fifteen teet square, and extending up with but slight decrease In the diameter, to a height or 15s leet. The walls were lined with Seneca stoue, and the construction was substantlaL Three tiers ot arcaded windows at the topof tue tower dlmtnisned the and had the effect ol lightening the structure, not only In its appearance bur in reality. WHAT THE Bl'lLDER BATS.

The plans aud the details ot the construction were supplied by the New York architect, and the builder and contractor is Mr. Win. C. Morrison, the well-known builder of this city. He wus informed ot the this morning while at breakfast, and came at ohce to the church building.

In conversation with a star Reporter Mr. Morrison explained the cause oi the wreck as follows: "The foundations ot the tower were all right, but the trouble was: the piers at the tour ends or corners of tne' tower were too weak. Tnere was an arcn over the entrance from Connecticut avenue and another one from street. Tnere were two entrances into tne church through tbe other two sides of the tower, spanned by aiches, so that the entire weight of tne superstructure is carried by these arches on to the piers, 't he southwest pier was the first to give way, and that was the weakest. As built at tlrst it wus not solid, but subsequently It was tilled la with cement." Mr.

Morrison added that the best sloue-mason in the city did the work, and he said tne construction was ail runt. He added that tuis was nis opinion ot the cause of the fall ol tne tower, but at the same time he was reiuctant to express an opinion, as ne said that he did not wish to do any one an Injustice. Tne work had been examined oy experts, and he was told to go on. WHAT TUE BUILDIKO INSPECTOR BATS. "The accident Is unaccountable," said building Inspector Entwisle to a star reporter, "I have made numerous inspections of the structure, and have been unable to Ond any defects, except last week, when I inspected It with the architect, Mr.

W. C. Cady, of New York, wnen we found that there was a crashing or some of the soft stone on the outer lace, which we attributed to heavy Joint work Inside and tne close Joint outside, causing an irregular bearing. The tower must have been swayed by the wind storm, thereby causing an Irregular bearing on the piers, which we had considered as having more than capacity tor carrying the structure. When the tower was commenced I found that the earth on one side was defective and required the foundation to be increased.

It will be impossible to account for the accident until tbe neons is cleared away." An investigation by the will, it is understood, shortly take place. THE FIRST INSPECTION. Mr. Jas. A.

Fitch, a member of the building committee of the church, in conversation wltn a Star reporter this morning said that about three months aero some cracks were discovered in the Ohio stone about the arch of the entrance to the tower. The architects, J. C. Cady of New York city, ere at once informed, and an expert member ot the ttrrn came on, and alter a careful Inspection of the work decided that tbe masons In setting the Ohio stone had brought them together at too tine an edge and when the walls settled, there being no room for settlement for the outer stone, some cracking and shelving at tbe edge necessarily took place. Under his direction the horizontal Joints ot the stone were widened by sawing.

The cracks were then filled in, and work was suspended tor a time, and the result closely watched. No further cracks appearing, after two or three weeks the work was resumed, and every thing seemed to be going on well. Last evening Mr. Morrison, the builder, detected and called the attention of Mr. Fitch to some fresh breaks In the inside of the south wall of the tower, which aroused grave fears as to Its safety, and all was done that was possible to guard against accident.

As late as halt-past 9 last evening Mr. Fitch, in company with Mr. M. W. Oalt, another member ot tbe committee, visited tbe cnurch and examined the breaks in the tower, and found no apparent Increase.

Mr. Fitch felt quite apprehensive but still did not anticipate such a disaster as afterward occurred. His residence is on Khode Island avenue near Connecticut avenue, and he was aroused from bis sleep by tbe noise of the fall, which he describes as being a sliding sound. At once ho went to the church wnere he tound the beautiful tower in ruins. ARRIVAL OF ARCHITECT CADY.

The architect reached the city this afternoon. He had been asked to come on to consult about some other details of the work before the last break was discovered, And knew nothing of the disaster until his arrival. A TALK WITH ARCHITECT CADY. Mr. J.

C. Cady, the senior member of the firm of arc hi tec ta, reached the city at 2 o'clock this afternoon. He was met at the depot by Mr. Fitch aad a Btas reporter. The former nave Mr.

cady a brief account oi the disaster, and. la a subsequent conversation with a Star reporter, Mr. Cady said that be did aot feel Justified In expressing any opinion about tbe causes of the fall of the Cower. "We have erected a great fn.nw towers of tbe same kind aad from the calculatioas made we know that this one had a wide margin of safety. It might hate had nothing to do with the accident.

As to tbe piers the stability of the structure was not dependent upon them. The Dlera were added to this tower tor another reason, hnould say that the accident was due either to defective material or to defective workmanship." Mr. cady than, la company with Mr. Fitch, boarded a street oar aad went at once to the church. miwunM UULY TO BE AFVOIMRB.

It la thought probable that a hoard will be appointed to investigate the cause of the disaster aad act as arbitrators, if moessary, between the architect and the builder. CoL Casey has been spoken of se likely to be iavltsd to acton the board. Mr. Fitch says that he It not prepared to say upon whom the responsibility rests. He says, however, that the work of rebuilding will undoubtedly be resumed at once, whether the original plan of the tower Is carried out or some other design adopted.

There may be a little delay In beginning, he thought, because of the abneace from the cfiy of a number of the members of the board of tnatees. The board is composed of the following members: Ex-just ice Wat. Strong. Justloe Stanley Matthews, Matthew W. Gait, Win.

The total oost of repairing the damage caused by the accident Id estimated roughly to be from fitteen to twenty thousand dollars. The church was organized over three years ago, a majority of the members coming from the New Tort Avenue byterian church. The necessity of a church of that denomination In that section of the city lead to its organization.

The ground was purchased, and a chapel, which Is now used for the church services, was built on the rear of the lot. The main structure was begun a year and a half ago. The total cost of the church, chapel and ground, exceeds $150,000. The news 01 the disaster rapidly spread through- I out the city, and a large number of people gathered about the ruing. General regret was ex.

1 pressed that the tower, hlch has attracted so much attention by Its architectural beauty, had been destroyed. laJaactlM ifalsal lh? District mtaalonera. THE nuM BUILDING OP TBI WASHINGTON KiUH 1 COMPANY. This afternoon Mr. John A.
