STORM MADE ALARM RING. After a Vivid Flash of Lightning the Bell Sounded one Tap. A' HEAVY DOWNPOUR. Sky was Very Black and People Hurried Home Thinking Another Tornodo was Approaching—Rain Turned Streets in Small Rivers for the Time Being- Soon Passed Over. When last night’s storm first struck this city many people thought that they would see a worse hurricane than the one of last week for the sky was as black as night. The wind, for a time, blew like a hurricane, and the articles whioh were not fastened down soon wore scattered. , The lightning was vivid and after one unusually bright flash, the fire alarm sounded one tap as if a pole had been struck. It may have been but a freak of electricity. So heavy was the downpour for the short time that the streets ran like rivers and traffic for the time being was practically at a standstill.

Made a Sensational Catch at Short-For the Visitors Traeoer was the Star— Marions got Six Hits and Hoboken Four—Both Teams Have Three Errors to Their Credit. The Marions defeated the All Hobokons Saturday in a closely con tested game, 4 runs to 2. Oarl Traoger was in charge of the visitors and he brought a fast bunch of players with him that made the locals work hard for the victory. For eight, innings it was nip and tuck, each team having secured two runs. The Marions got the first run in the opening inning on Moorelieart’s single and steal and Gavlin’s double. The visitors go}; two runs in their half of the third on a base on balls to Martin, McCor mick's singlo and outs by Hollywood and Brennan. The Marions evened things in their half on singles by Mit chell and Galvin, a base on balls to Hoffner and McPhillip's long fly to Smithson. There was no scoring thereafter by either team until the eighth when with two out and men on second and third Shortemeyer allowed Connelly’s haid rap to get througii him and two runs crossed the plate, insuring victory for the locals. Kiernan did not play Saturday and as a result there was a shakeup in the team. Roche going to third, Hoffner to second and Moorehead to short, Bradley playing right field and James J. Flynn umpiring. These changes worked well until the eighth when Roche was given a try out in the box. He showed up as an exceedingly clever box artist. A catoh by Moore head was the feature of the game.

US.—Mrs. Nellie Andrews, formerly Miss Nellie Conrad, made a confession just before her death which clears up the mystery connected with a tragedy that In 1885 caused much excitement In southern Indiana. Stanford Freeman, a young farmer of this county, was called to his gate by two men and two women the night before he was to lie married and after a scuffle was found by his intended bride with several wounds from a knife and with his skull fractured In several places. lie died without re vealing the identity of his slayers, who had ridden swiftly away. Mrs. Andrews said that she was one of the party which visited Freeman, that one of the inon who was present is dead and the other In the Tennessee state prison. The woman who aceom ptyiled them, she said, and who dis appeared several years ago was mur dered because of fear lest she betray the murderers. Mrs. Andrews said that she was in love with Freeman, and one of the men was In love with Freeman’s In tended wife, and when they went to the gate that night a demand was made thut Freeman marry her at once. When he refused he was fatally stnb bed, and the four had Jtcpt the secret so well that no suspic/u was aroused. I PARKS SAYS "H Convention of Iron IVill Have No Kartliei KANSAS CITY.

The re fusal of the convention to,1 grant a pharter to the. new union known as the New York Hons,'smiths’ union, which sent four delegates to the convention. Delegate I'arks says, is a closed inci dent. These four delegates in a state ment issued to the convention say: ‘‘In refusing n charter to the New York Ilousosmitlis’ union you have virtually indorsed nil that is had and rotten in trades unionism. I5y your ae tUn tr/Mi Imtrn lout to no'M. lltn greatest city in tlio United States. Al: present refuse to recognize a . union which will in the end be the dominant power in the Iron trades in Now York.” The statement attacks Samuel Fnrks and, continuing, says: “Keep that man in, and within three months there will be nothing loft of No. 2, and the International union willt be put down and out as far as Now York is concerned. Now we will say that any organization that relies on brute force to maintain its supremacy will finally end In disorder and dis ruption.” Delegate Parks said: “I am quoted in New York ns saying that I urn going to raise all kinds of trouble on my return there. Present conditions do not exactly call for strikes. I do not Intend to call any strike among the structural iron work ers engaged on buildings In New York. ISut if there is not a change in the conditions at the East river bridge I shall start something there In about two weeks.” President Buchanan said: “I know of no reason why there should be any further trouble In the convention.
