To the Editor of the Gazette: This

except patents. A patent is a coutract
between the public aud the inventor lor
mutual benefit, and in a short time reverts
to tne public use ; and this arrangement is
found to work well.
Telegraph companies are not monopolies.
Any one may engage in telegraphing that
wants to. But enterprises of this character
generally require associated capital. This
does not make them monopolists,as the busi
ness is free to any
railroads monopolies. If one road is
found to be earning superior dividends, it is
not long before a rival road is projected,
and so close is the competition, that they
often injure one another In their struggle for
freight.
Iu 2 orporatiou does not make a monopoly.
It Is merely a method of facilitating busi
ness.
If you will search the matter you will find
who call these things mono
to engage in. Neither

The Quicksteps Lune a Game lo the Potto*
ville Goal-Crackers.
Yesterday the Quickstep lost another
trame to the Anthracite club. The visitors
played a good fielding game and batted
hard, bunching their hit*. Notwithstand
ing this the home club could have won the
T arae had it not been for the miserable ex
ilbition of ball playing made by O'Brien at
second base. His playing was poor and his
three errors most disastrous. Each time
there were two men on bases, and, with a
chance to put a man out, he failed and two
men scored each time. The other players
played a good game and their errors
yielded but little. Hoover, on third base,
covered that position excellently and made
some good catches. Kelnzel at ceBtre field
got under some good files. Waltt made a
(Treat catch that bid fair to be a three-bag
ger. Snyder played his usual game on first.
For the Anthracite- Grady proved himself a
great little catcher and Lang played a good
game at short. Reynolds is a very tricky
pitcher and fools the batter every time.
McLaughlin, Alcott and Milligan did the
best batting for the Anthracites, and Albert
and Kienzel for the Quicksteps, Albert get
ting in another three base hit.
About ten minutes of 0, when the ninth
inning was about to be played, Griffiths, the
umpire, wanted to call the game, and the
Anthracites proceeded to gather up their
bats, but the crowd jumped in the field,
hooting and hustling the umpire,who finally
decided to finish the game. The score la as

Coffin, Nantucket, and Mrs. Glenn of New
York, friends of the New Haven party who
sailed on the yacht Mystery, have Just re
turned from a careful examination of every

Rupert Sargent. The immediate relatives of
the deceased have been telegraphed to that
effect. Another body was found at Pocasset

THE DEADLY TORNADO;
MINNESOTA'S F fcARFULLY DE
STRUCTIVE STORM.
BOGHESTEB'S AWPÜL VISITATION
Twenty-six People Killed and Fifty one
Injured-Nearly a Million Dollars Worth
of Property Destroyed—Late Details.
Minneapolis, Minn., August 23.—The
main course of the tornado which struck
Rochester on Tuesday night was through
the lower part of the town, but its force was
felt more or less in all parte of the city, and
its freaks were simply wonderful. It de
molished well built structures on Broadway,
but at the same time did no harm to adja
cent buildings, beyond overturning chim
neys and stripping the tin coverings from
the roofs. One great beauty of the city waa
the many trees which lined the streets. Hun
dreds of these were either torn down or
broken off, and many of the streets were
rendered Impassible by being filled with
their trunks and Itmtos. Some of the trees
were stripped perfectly bare, even the bark
being torn off.
That portion of the city north of the rail
road, called the "lower town,
most damage. Indeed, there is not a house
there that is not injured and only about
twenty are left standing. It looks at a dis
tance as though there had never been a
building in that portion, while in other sec
tions the remains of the houses show the
terribly destructive force of the wind.
As soon as the tornado had passed and
the people in the more favored portions
the city began to learn of the damage they
went at once to render what assistance they
could, and many worked all night.
t ommenclng at J. R. Cook's house, on
the 8t. Paul road, which was entirely de
molished, the tornado next took in Lel&nd'a
residence, barn and outbuildings, not leav
ing a stick standing. Then it swept through
the lower town. From the appearance of
the ground it seemed as though a terrific
flood had swept over thi6 section. In many
places where there had been residences
scarcely a board is left
suffered
Of
the premises.
The grass is filled with dirt and sand as if a
muddy stream had poured over it.
Early on on Wednesday morning an organ
ized movemeut was made to care for the
wounded, and appeals were issued to the
larger cities for aid, which have been an
swered with liberality.
The principal losses in Rochester are about
as follows: Court House, $2,006; high
school building, $2,000; Methodist Church,
$6,000; Congregational Church, $1,000;
railroad depot, etc., $16,000; Van Düsen «St
Co.'s elevator, $10,000: H. J. Porter's ele
vator, $7,000; Harvester Works, $12,000; J.
M. Cole's mill, $3,000, Crescent Creamery,
$9,000; Cascade Mill, $5,000; ten business
blocks unroofed, $5,000; 250 houses, with
conteuts, wrecked, $185,000; 200 houses
damaged, $30,000; making a total of about
$400,000.
The following is a list of the killed: John
M. Cole, a prominent business man, ownlu
four mills, was picked up by the wind
hurled to the ground, breaking every bone
in his body; Mrs. McQuillan, Mrs. Steel,
Mrs. Zlrerath and August Zirerath, her son;
Mr. Osborn and his aunr, Mrs. Frederick

The above-named are in the hospital.
The following are with friends : Louie Pes
sie, leg broken; Mrs. Coons, leg broken, and
Frank Clemente, arm broken.
The tornado started near Owatonna, and
following a line nearly a mile south ot the
railroad crossing at Rochester, and, going
north of the road, passed east twenty-five
miles. Thirty miles north of the road it
varied in width from oue to three miles, and
did not skip as is usual, but swept every
thing clear in its track ; bouses, barns aud
crops are all gone.
So far as heard from about six persons
were killed outside of Rochester.
The loss to the crops is estimated at about
$300,000.
A special dispatch to the Tribune from
Dodge Centre says: "The crops in the path
of the cyclone, two miles south of here, are
all destroyed and heavy damage was done
to buildiugs. A man named H. Elbrecht
and his wife were working in a field when
they saw the storm coming, and cluug to
each other. When it struck them he was
knocked senseless and she was blown a con
siderable distance. She was found yester
day m «rning In a horribly mutilated
dition, oue arm being twisted off and the
other nearly so. A number of others were
less seriously injured."
Ottawa, Ont., August 23.—A hurricane
swept through the Ottawa district last night,
doing great damage to the barns, lencea
and crops. In Nepean two barns were
