Lacrosse, Wis., Oct. 11.— Further details of the terrific cyclone which struck the town of Arcadia, in Trempealeau county,on Mon day ulght, show that it came from the southwest, and that upon its approach the air was so charged with electricity that lights could not bo made to burn, and people rushed to their cellars In tbe dark ness to avoid the danger. The atmos phere was of a peculiar reddish-green color, with a strong sulphuric odor, and the deaf ening roar of the tornado is utterly indes cribable. Barns and outbuildings were lifted from their foundations, torn to frag ments and scattered In all directions. Broken boards, trees, bricks and stones filled the air, and were hurled with such vio lence in some instances as to drive them through the sides of buildings. Among the losers are Patrick Manning and a farmer named Olsen, who lost every thirg, including their houses, barns and outbuildings. John Bingham lost his gran ary, barn and contents, 100 tons of hay, four horses and some blooded stock. John Robertson's house, barn and outbuildings were destroyed. James Gaveny lost an orch ard valued at $5,000. Senator Comstock's new sornhum mill was destroyed and his barn wrecked. There varying from $1000 to $1,000 each. Bessy and Miss Piper,who were most in jured, are considered out of danger. The clone seems to have spent ita force up North Creek Valley, doing considerable damage to properly, but causing ltolo'S of life. Preceded by many other losses Mrs. Au Interrupted Prize Fight.

FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN POLI TICIANS. BESULT OF PARTISAN JEALOUSY A Row in the Streets of Baltimore That Would Do Credit to a City In tho Far Southwest—A Bystander Wounded. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 11— James F. Busey, a well-known Democratic politician, was shot and mortally wouuded in iront of tho City Hall to-day. The man who shot was William T. Hörig, a Fiiteeuth ward rounder. The shooting was peculiarly tragic, and the affair has caused more excitement here than any event since the Tivoli disaster last summer. Busey is the superintendent of streets for tbe Western district, having al most constantly been in office for the last 10 years. He visited tbe City Hall this morn ing lor the purpose of submitting his report as a district superintendent to Commissioner Barte E. Smith, head of the City Street Cleaning Department Busey, while In the office, chatted pleasantly, and seemed to be in tbe liest of humor. There was lo excite ment of manner about him, and after a few moments of quiet conversation he left the office. When he reached the North street pave ment he met several Democratic friends,and began talking over the sheriffalty primaries of the day previous. Busey had been work ing for Joyce, who had* been successful. Among those in the crowd was Washington Tbater, a South Baltimore heeler, who had been opposed to Joyce. Pusey and Tbater began to quarrel, when Harlg stepped up and mingled in tho dispute. The discussion became spirited, when a blow was struck by one of the parties. Busey and Uarig, at the fame instant, drew pistols and began firing on each other in rapid succession. There was a large crowd in the neighborhood at the time and Ihe fusilade was so fierce that that Bo one dared to approach the combatants to sepa rate them. Busey seemed to fire wildly, as none of his ballt took effect on his antago nist. He himself, however, was struck and began retreating across^ North street, towards the old No. 4 engine house, Harig following closely, firing his revolver until the chambers were all emptied. BEATINO HIB DYING VICTIM. He then seized Busey by the lappel of his coat with his left hand, and began beating him on the head with the butt of his weapon. In the meantime Busey was I old ing him with both hands by the lappel of his coat. About this time one ot tbe by standers ran up and,seizing Harig,wrenched the pistol from ids hand. The noise of the shooting and the screams of several ladies who were passing at the time attract cd the attention of Captain John Lannan, of the Central Station, and Detective Mark Logan, who, hastening to the scene, arrested Harig and took him to the Centra) Station, where he was at once locked up. Previous to this he remarked that he had a pistol and in tended to protect himself. Busey was also taken to the station house and it was found he had been hit four times —once in the abdomen, once in the left side, and twice in the left arm. ~ The wound in tbe abdomen is likely to prove fatal. Al though Busey Is believed by his followers to possess a charme 1 life, the last rites of tbe Catholic Church were administered to him soon alter the shooting. There has been a long feud between these men, which originated in a political quarrel some 10 or 12 years ago, ami was further iu tensifled by the election of William F. Mc Kewen as clerk of tho Criminal Court in 1879. Busey was an active partisan ol Mc Kcwen, having been one of his most bitter opponents. The usual charges of crooked work were made by Harig, the champion of the defeated candidates. Accusations and recriminations followed thick and fast, and the two men, enemies for years, fell to hating each other with g. eater malice than ever. Harig was a fireman in tbe City Hall until a few mouths ago. The police record shows that Busey has been arrested over 50 times within the last 19 years for assaults upon inoffensive persons upon the streets and at the polls. The Criminal Court records rhow that he was uever punished but once, and then with a $10 fine. Busey is the brother of Billy Carroll, the prise fighter, who once had a mill with Sam Collier. Carroll changed his name from Busey when his mother married the second time. Busey is related by this marriage to Judge Carroll, of the Orphans' Court. ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED. A Young Man Under the Influence of Liquor Falla Overboard and la Drowned Before Assistance Can be Procured. As stated in yesterday s Gazette Coroner Smith in answer to a summons from Dela ware City went to that place yesterday companled by Dr. Ogle and Undertaker Palmer and held an inquest upon the body of the drowned man Thomas McKecfrcy, en gineer of a Philadelphia tug lying at that port.

Ou Wednesday night he went out and drank S uite heavily, becoming so much intoxicated iat the proprietor of the hotel ref used him any more liquor. He left about 11 o'clock, and between that and midnight a woman who was on board another boat near by heard a splash and a gurgling sound, as of someone struggling in the water, and gave an alarm. A search was Instituted, but all was quiet, and it was supposed that the alarm was false until tho other hands of the tugboat returned about 12.30 o'clock, wheu it was discovered that young McKeefrey was board and a search was instituted. It was concluded that he fell overboard while trying to get aboard and was drowned, and early yesterday morning thc body was recovered by grappling irons. The body was taken to Philadelphia.
