Scarcely had the people recovered from the shock and scare before the rain began to fall in torrents, accompanied by a terrific gale of wind, which threatened to demolish the entire town. The cry of help! help! I was shouted, and brave men, regardless of the peril to themselves, rushed frantically through the darkness and raging storm, to rescue the unfortunate, who bad been buried amid the debris of falling hou-SC9 The following is a report of the damage done iu this vicinity, hastily gathered by a Monitor it Leadtr reporter, in order to mail a supplement with our regular edition, which had been worked off previous to the storm: The most serious damage, perhaps, to any one building, with the exception of thoso which were completely demolished, was the Court House, a large two-story brick building, situated in the Public Square. A portion of the south gable end, together with the south half of the roof, were scattered in fragments for a distance of one hundred yards by the gale.

The damage to the building is estimated at about $1,000. The records were recovered and placed in the vault before receiving serious damage by the rain. With the exception of a few legal papers being slightly soiled, no otner serious damage to papers and books, beyond a general seat-torment, was done. ment was none. The next teriously damaged building was that of J.

The imputation that his (Kelleys) speech was a manuscript speech was utterly without foundation. In regard to his support cf the resolution indors-1 WJ Ull BU ppui kuo Avnvsuwvu suwwi. fog Secretary McCullough's contraction policy, in December, 1805, he admitted hfl had made a grave mistake, and on Ai .1 IaIIamUm ke ke1 grav the Sd day of January following he had raised his voice against contraction, and made the prediction with which he had opened his speech of the 15lh of November, that if contraction were pursued, the condition of affairs that is now upon the country would come. As to the bill demonetizing silver, he was, although Chairman of the Committee on Coinage, as ignorant of the demonetization of the silver dollar as Senators Blaine and Yorhees, then members of the House.

Mr. Garfie lds allusion to his (Kelleys) communistic speech at Youngstown, Ohio, and to his threat that labor would have capital by the throat, that statement was like Gar-. field's other st creation of a distempered imagination. As to the in-1 terferenre of members of the House in 1 favor of his renomination, he asserted that no man sat in the House who had ever, to his knowledge, written such a letter. If there was he asked him to say so mtJe a ns if to rise.

lotter was written my friend Foster, and ho and I were most intimate then by reason of the proximity of our seats. I laid be- a t. 1 mm fniitwit 1) J(l. i defeat for having gone into Ohio, as they said, to electioneer for Allen. It was arranged that my friend tester, who represented in Congress the Republican candidate for President, should write a letter that would answer a double purpose.

A ripple of laughter started at these words, and soon spread through the Democratic side, extending to the Republican side. I pray you, Mr. Speaker, to bear in mind, that if dirty linen is to be washed here to-day, I did not introduce the bundle. Laughter. Mr.

Crittenden Let the washing go on. Laughter. Mr. Kelley My friend Foster wrote a letter to the gentleman I named, (Danford,) a confidential friend of my own, saying that he had no authority to speak for Governor Hayes, but that he was his Congressional representative. Laughter.

That he knew of kindlv relations between the Governor and Kelley, and that he had reason to believe, and fras free to say, that Governor Hayes desired the return of Kelley. Laughter. That letter was given me. I can recollect bat one gentleman to whom it was shown, and that was the gentleman to whom it was addressed, who read it at my request, and handed it back to me. Mr.

Kelley then descrilted his relations with his constituents, who had elected him thrice since 18G0, who knew his faults and foibles: knew he would sometimes roll out the rs, an inheritance probably from his Irish ancestry knew he had a will of his own, and that when suffering from dyspepsia he was sometimes rude who in fact knew him well, and who would be astonished to learn of the influences that had leen brought to bear on them to secure- his I election. u.il Ui ic t'K i 111 i he 1' i i li- r.

Laughter. However lie had always had, and still had, a high rispect for the gentleman, who hail always been his friend here. He dil not believe Governor Hayes cared two cents whether Kelley was nominated or not, and that he would have felt unkindly if that irentlemau was nominated. He had desired to see Kelly elected, and he had therefore written a letter and had since been glad to learn from that gentleman that it had been of good service to Lim.

Laughter. Mr. Kelley desired to throw a little light upon the question as to who wanted the nomination. It was known to some people that when the campaign had opened, it had been thought desirable that a Republican member of Congress, a greenbacker and convertible bond man, who had been re-elected at the last election, should be sent to Indiana, Ohio, and certain sections of Pennsylvania, where the greenback heresy (so called) was predominating. At the request of the State Committees of those States, he consented, as a Republican member of Congress favoring greenbacks, to go to Indiana, Ohio and the infected districts of Pennsylvania, laughter but he denied that he hail talked communism.

The discussion having closed, the House went iot ('ommittee of the Whole on the Consular and Diplomatic .1 -tm 1 i i lie Iri.Ua to i ii t.lIV j- Appropriation bill. It appropriates $1 reduction of 102 ,1.19 from the appropriation of last year, and a reduc lion of $177, 4G2 from the estimates of the State department. The salaries of ministers to Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia, are fixed at $15,000 each; to Spain, Austria, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, and China, at $10,000 each to Chili and Peru, at each; to Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Venezuela, Hawaiian Island, Argentine Republic, and United States of Colombia, to Bull vie, Guatemala, Cota Rica, Honduras, Salvador, and Nicaragua, one Minister, Hayti, Liberia $2,500. Mr. Singleton, a member of the Committee on Appropriations, explained that the committee bad reduced the salaries of the four principal principal Ministers abroad from to $15,000, an amount amply sufficient considering the work to be done by them.

He referred to the fact that the Consul at London received $2 per head for every American seaman shipped at that port, and every dollar of that tax upon commerce was used at the Consulate, and not covered into the Treasury. That was what made the position of Consul so much sought after. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, inquired whether the law did not require all such fees to be turned into the Treasury. Mr.

Singleton replied it did not. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, thought the gentleman from Mississippi was mistaken. All fees collected for shipping seamen were cither paid into the Treasury or were accounted for in the accounts of the Consul. Mr.

Singleton, continuing, said the Appropriations Committee hod endeavored on the one hand to guard against any retrenchment which might impair the service, and on the other, toprevent any unnecessary expenditure ol public money. His own opinion was that the present system of service might be much simplified, and that two or three Ministers stationed at some central points in Europe, with competent corps of agents, would answer ever? purpose. After a speech by Mr. Hubbell in favor of the extension of our it roign I commerce, the committee rose and the I House adjourned; i I of to to of if i I I 1 i i I Ar ii ii vi ri Li.iir U. a 12 mm.

TERRIFIC SNOW STORM ON THE ILAINS. CilfcVF.NNE, March 9. A storm, exceeding in violence and duration that any previous season, set iu at 11 r. M.oa the b.h instant, and continued without abatement ur.til noon to-day, the wind ranging in velocity from fifty sixty-four miles an hour, carrying snow with it, and drifting iu banks ton fifteen feet high. In this city, so far, only one roof has given way.

The stoi extended from Bitter Creek, on the west, to Julesburg on the east. A great number of the cuts are level full snow, and all trains ou the Union Pacific, the Denver Pacific and the California Central are either side-tracked or snowed in. The plows stationed here have been shoveling out, and to-morrow morning the storm, which has not wholly ceased, does not increase, they will be vigorously manipulated. Passenger trains No. 3 of the 8th and 9th, are lying at North Platte, No.

4 of the 8th, at Bitter Creek, and No. 4 of the 9th at Green river. Freight train No. 6 is reported snowed in at Separation, and the emigrant westbound of yesterday, near Bushnell. The Denver Pacific train is side-tracked at Carr, aud the Colorado Central between Collins and Lovilaid.

There is no reliable evidence of irdivid-uals having been lost in the enow in this vicinity, though there are many tumors to that effect. No communication north, whither many freight outfits are now traveling, and probably tho loss of stock will bo great, if not of life. STEAMER 1UTRNED. St. Lous, March 9.

Tho steamer Coloal, lying at the foot of Lesperance street, was discovered on fire at an early hour this morning. The flames spread in spite of the exertions of the tiro department, and the boat burned to the waters edge. Capt. II. Schwartz was sole owner of the boat, which was valued at insured in Cincin-! naii companies for $6,000.

The flames spread, and the wildest confusion ensued for a but the fire was got under control and the building saved in a damaged condition. SALE or A RAILROAD. Chicago, March 9.

Under an order of the United States Court, issued by Judge Blodgett, Mr. Bishop, master-in-chancery, sold the Chicago and Iowa railroad to J. M. Walker, attorney for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, for $900,000, fifteen thousand dollars being cash down. Mr.

Walker bid it in for the bond holders. The attorney for the Chicago and Iowa road gave notice that he would appeal to Judge Drummond to set aside the order of sale. The road is about eighty miles long, and runs from Aurora to Foreslon, Illinois. RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNED. New York, March 9.

The great railroad bridge over the Raritan river at New Brunswick, N. burned this morning. Railroad traffic and travel are temporarily interrupted. AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES FOR RUSSIA. Philadelphia, March 9.

It is even regarded as not unlikely that the change may be made before the meeting of the Congress, in which case England would be represented by her foreign minister. FKIQHTIXL STEAMBOAT DISASTER.

A new building, recently constructed by Mr. D. J. Caudle, was swept even with the ground, and portions carried a distance ef 200 yards. Mr.

Caudle's damages will reach $250. The building was not quite completed at the time of the storm, which was probably the cause of its giving way. The blacksmith shop of Jim Marley, on the northeast corner of the square, was completely wrecked. Damages about $50. Wm.
