The Tornado at Tuscumbia, Ala.-An
Appeal for Aid.

TUsCuNBIA, Ala, Nov. "a
A tornado struck Tuscumbia about
seven o'clock last Sunday evening It
extended over about two thirds of the
town, doing its greatest damage in the
western and northern portions. Eleven
lives were lost. Miss Bette Sherod
daughter of John Sherod, living four
miles southwest from here, was killed
their house being blown down. Mrs
Ella Moore, wife of State Senator J B
Moore, and two children were killed. T
ID. Hodglins, editor of the Tuscumbia
cAronicle, his wife, and four children
were killed instantly, and their house
was entirely destroyed. Mrs. Judith
Winston was killed by the falling in of
the roof and upper walls of her house.
Mr. Martin D. Patterson was danger
ously injured, his house being blown
away. Mrs. Thomas Gibbs was badly
hurt, and her house blown away. She
was blown across the street.
The railroad bridge was blown away,
and the eastern-bound train from Mem.
phis, which was due at about 7:3O
o'clock, was wrecked at the bridge bu;
no lives were lost.
An appeal for aid Las been made, as
follows:
At meeting of the citizens of Tuscumbia.
Ala, at the Court House, on Monday, No'A
%, the undersigned were appointed COM
mittee to publish an address and to make an
appeal to the public with reference to the
terrible calamity which has befallen our CON-
munity. On Sunday evening, Nov. %, 3 fear
full tornado passed over our city, destroying
many houses, and putting to instant death
number of our citizens. Over one-third of
our town is laid in ruins. The Deshar Fe-
male Institute, just completed at a cost Of
some 1900, the Catholic Church, several
large and elegant brick mansions, and large
number of frame buildings were totally de-
stroyed. Many buildings are also more or
less injured. The fair ground buildings and
two mills were also destroyed. In one house
the parents and four children, composing the
entire family, were instantly killed. The wife
and four children of j. Burns Moore were
buried beneath the ruins of his fallen house.
But two OF the number, children, were taken
out alive.
The amount of property destroyed is esti-
mated at 100000 to sl50000. This calamity
has necessarily brought grief, great distress,
and restitution upon our community. More
than fifty houses being wrecked, many fam-
lies are homeless and penniless, and need i'm
mediate aid. The citizens will do all in their
power to relieve the suffering and needy, but
help is earnestly solicited from abroad, as the
Town ID SO Impoverished II cannot possibly
supply the needed help. God has brought
this desolation upon us, and we confidently
appeal to all persons throughout the country
to aid us in this our hour of calamity. Dona-
tions from any source will be thankfully re-
ceived,, and may be forwarded to Joseph Hill
man, Tuscumbia, Ala.
Signed, in behalf of the citizens:

Nitrous Oxide Gas VS.. Chloroform.

A very extraordinary case of death
by the use of nitrous oxide gas, now SO
largely employed by dentists instead of
chloroform on account of its alleged
superior safety, is related in the Londen
Times as having occurred in the practice
of the well-known DR.. Mason. It APP
pears that the patient, Miss Wynd-
ham, accompanied by her medical at
tendant, went to have her teeth exam
ined. DR.. M. advised her to have a
large upper tooth drawn, and at her
urgent request administered nitrous
oxide gas. After a few respirations it
was noticed that the pulse was becom-
ing rather weak, and the inhalation was
stopped. The patient had not become
insensible, however, and endeavors were
made to extract the tooth, but the pain
was SO great that, again at the lady's
desire, the gas was given second time.
The operation appeared to be perfectly
successful and the tooth had been
drawn. when suddenly the patients
features became ivid, and it was at
once apparent that something was
wrong. Assistance Was immediately
obtained and everything done to restore
consciousness, but death eHsued ina few
minutes. The evidence at the inquest
showed that up to the day of her death
she had enjoyed excellent health, and
that neither before nor after death were
any symptoms of organic disease OBJ
servable.
