In the House of Representatives, at
Washington, on the 2lst OF April, Repre-
sentative Hurlbut, from the Committee
on Railways and Canals, to whom was re-
ferred House bill, No. /, 1,194, to charter
doube.track freight railway company
from tidewater on the Atlantic to Coun-
Gil Bluffs, on the Missouri River, and to
limit the rates of fare, made the following
report:
The remedy, It appears to your committee,
for existing evils, most easy and eXpedltlous
in its results OF any proposed, and reaching
with its direct benefits to the whole region be-
tween the Ohio River and the lakes, as well as
the entire West and Northwest now suhsid-
iary to st. Louis and Chicago, is the building
Of double track freight railway as proposed
In the bill under consideration, whose main
line shall have its eastern terminus on the wa
tiers Of New York harbor, its western on the
Missouri River, with two branches, one to Chi
eapo and the other to st. Louis. ltmay posi-.
bly I've asked why this particular line should
he selected of the several which have been pro-
jected Such a question demands candid
answer.
ID is because 1t is the only line at present
contemplated which contains In itself rea.
sonable certainty Of success, In being sure OF
commanding a sufficient amount OF freight TO
be able to contract for rates permanently, ana
sufficiently low to warrant its adoption
Very careful and elaboIate estimates OF the
cost Of operating the proposed railway demon
strate that, II the necessary amount OF ousl-
uess can be obtained, bulk freight can be
mo we'd at the rate of six mills per ton per mile
in summer and seven mills In winter, or M
te en- cents per bushel from Chicago, eighte'u
cents from st, Louis, and twenty-four cents
from Council Bluffs.
The company assert themselves to have con
troll Of very large frontage ON deep water IL
the harb0r of New York, and OF sufficient
area to give room enough for the warehouses
elevators, cattle and other yards which woult
necessarily bs required to handle so vast
business as is proposed, and Ia fact needed, tC
be done TO make the undertaking success.
| The right Is reserved to the United states eN
it's Commission TO hx the rates OF all freigh
not specified In the bill. One-half the exist
ing charges is fixed for the bulky articles
therein specified, including cattle, ores Goa
aud lumber.
In order to aid ia forming just popula
verdict, your committee desire to state Ger
tain considerations;
/. The line proposed, with its authorize.
branches and connections, will reach and al
feet large masses of population now separates
by distance and excessive charges, each
which masses Of population Is the necessar

went like a fash of lightning. The current
seemed to be about 200 yards in width, and In
Its course seemed to bound, sticking TO the
low land and ppriDging over the hills. Fences
we're torn up for miles, and the few out-houses
that lay in its path were caught up, ripped to
pieces, and the material scattered far and
wide.
The saddest of its exploits was the killing
of woman and her child, the wife and
daughter of Michael Grace, who resided In a
frame tenement which stood directly in the
path Of the storm. From the statements Of
other children OF Mrs Grace 1t appears that
she noticed the storm coming and, knowing
the dangers OF the terrific wind attacks In this
part OF the country, urged her little ones to
Est out of the house before the current should
strike the building. Taking her hurried
advice, the children hastened out, and say
their mother endeavoreS to follow. But the
storm came on with all its fury, carrying with
II load Of debris as testimony Of its fierce
ness and its works. Branches OF trees, fence
rails, pieces Of houses, oil launched upon the
unfortunate woman's devoted residence, com
pletely turning it over, then, catching it up,
rending 1t In atoms, and scattering the frag-
mentb Iar anu Nlue, duu tHcu uashlnB vi,
shrieking with delight and searching
for fresh victims. There was not a veslige
Of the house left upon the spot where it
formerly stood. Even the blocks upon which
It had rested were blown away. The flooring
was hoised over the fence and carried across
the road, and under it were found the dead
woman and her dead child. At the time OF
the disaster Mr. Grace was returning from his
work and Just outside the line Of the hurricane.
His fret intimation of It's existence was the
spectacle of bis house raised from its founda-
! tion and carried away. At first paralyzed, he
stood for a moment and then ran for assist
ance. When he arrived at the ruin, with
neighbor, he found the bodies of his wife and
infant.
| A portion Of the side OF the house lodged on
the fence, fifty feet distant from the former
site, and upon It stood the stove, right end
up, and burning merrily, as If nothing extraor-
| dfnary had occurred. II was several hours
! before It was removed, and then there was
| still fire in it,
The tornado seemed to come from point
little south OF east, but changed its course and
| ran little east Of north. The whole blow did
not last over half a minute.
