Dreadful Tornado.

In regard to the late terrible storm Of
wind and rain that swept over the valley OF
tue Rio Grande, and along the Texas coast,
the New Orleans Picayune has the follow
ing advices;
The hurricane was the most terrible in
the memory of man. On the frontier a
perpetual bombardment for a wear could
hardly have done as much damage as hap
pened from this one nights storm. Twenty
six persons were killed at Matamoras and
ten killed and one wounded at Brownsville
At BTaz0s, so far as known, twelve persons
perished Two sehooners were blown
ashore Only two houses are left standing
at Clarksville and none at Bagdad The loss
of life in the latter place is not known.
Ninety of the inhabitants escaped by going
on board a vessel, which rode ont the storm
The rest have perished. The negro soldiers
and officers at Brazos are said to have acted
UNANIMOUSLY. They not only refused all as
sistance to the struggling and suffering fami-
lies but retired to a sheltered part of the
Island, and the soldiers returned next dav
to rob the wrecked goods under some of the
warehouses and dwellings One of them
was shot and killed by a citizen, who de-
tected him in rObbing Their officers, it is
said, did nothing to prevent their brigand-
ism.
From the long list of damages at Browns
vile we extract the following King & Ken
nedy's warehouse, roof blown off, building
very badly damaged County Court House
and Jail was completely destroyed and the
prisoners all set at large The entire square
surrounded by Bowen, Et Brown, -Four
teenth, Levee and Elizabeth streets, was de-
strOyed, including the Ranchero Office and
Masonic Hall The Courier Office has the
roof off. The residence of w. J. Stark,
correspondent Of the New Y ork Herald, was
completely destroyed The Custom House
wall was blown down the Presbyterian
Church was destroyed; Post Office building
roof was blown off The hotel and elegant
billiard saloon Of Mr. Miller was almost ru-
ined. The iron building of Wilkens, Hey
& Co., was totally destroyed Between
Tenth and First, seven brick and four frame
houses were either totally destroyed or so
badly injured as to be Uninhabitable In
Matamoras 1900 houses and huts were
blown down. The greatest dis tress and
want prevail at all points, and appeals have
been made for relief Out of seven steam
ers only two can be repaired.

TO ADMINISTRATORS.

The law of Tennessee requires Admins
traitors to publish insolveut notices in a
newspaper A written notice carries ont
neither the spirit or letter of law, but it does
no injustice to all interested parties and lays
the Administrator liable for damages to all
who are losers by his non-conformity with
the law. We quote from the code of Ten
nessee, section ,330:
The Clerk (of the County Court \ X
shall make an order upon the executor or
administrator, TO give notice by ADVERTISE
ment in some newspaper published within
the State, and also at the court house door of
the county, for all persons having claims
against said estate to appear and file the
same, authenticated in the manner pre-
seribed by law, on or against a day to be
fixed in such notice, which shall not be less
than three nor more than six months after
the date Of notice; and any claim not filed
on or before the day fixed, or before an ap-
preparation Of the funds of the State is
made. shall be forever barred both N law
and equity.

In reference to these statistics the Odd +

low says;
The above expose of the present status of
our beloved Order cannot but rejoice and
"make exceeding glad every one who has
al heart the earnest, prayerful desire to see
Odd Fellowship and its heayen-born prinei-
pies extend to the uttermOst parts of the
earth.
The returns do not include those from the
jurisdictions of Vermont, Mississippi and
Texas, from which the annual reports have
not been received. Taking their last figures
as the criterion, and adding them to the
above aggregates, we have the sum total Of
1888 lodges, 2I4, ,462 members, and an in

ton, augmentation Of 573 in the number Of

Thus the order is rapidly gaining ground !;
thus our beneicient labor and and achieve
ments are becoming known and are appre-
ciated by the innumerable multitude that
stand waiting at the door Of our fold, only
desiring to see that our works comport with
our faith, ere they confidently knock for ad-
mission and we bid the worthy welcome;
we cheerfully say TO all who can and viii be

BRowNLow AND THE RAILRoADs.-On the

lar letter to the President Of each railroad
in the State, showing the amount of interest
each road owed the State on last January.
The total amount foots up 81, 1922 73. OF
this amount the Nashville & Northwestern

the Governor says
+" IF the interest due the State, or a
reasonable portion of it, is not met at the
time required by law, l shall certainly APP
