ment, and closed by an earnest appeal
for such Investigation as shall show the
truth or Otherwise of the charges made
by the Tax Payers Committee. What
action the Judiciary Committee will
take is q matter Of mere conjecture. It
is believed they will find, however de.
sirous to do 30, no fair ground for re-
oommendation to Congress looking to
Investigation; though the matter will
doubtless be made the subject of Con-
grsssionhI discussion.
Probabilities-On Thursday, over
New England, the Middle States and
lower lake region, clear or partly cloudy
weather and lower temperature will pre-
vail, with North and Northwest winds
over the former, but winds yeering to
Northwest and Northeast over the lat
ter. For the South Atlantic States,
West TO Northwest winds, generally
cloudy weather and rain. From the
Gulf Northward TO the lower Ohio Val
ley aud Missouri, fresh and brisk South
east to North. east winds, cloudy and
rainy weather. For tho upper lake re-.
gioD. winds veering to Easterly and
partly cloudy weather. A rain storm
will probably advance Eastward over the
Southern States. The Cumberland, the
Tennessee. the Ohio below Louisville
and the Mississippi River, from Cairo
down. will continue rising.
NASHVILLE. April ia tornado
passed over and through this city, from
West to East, at II 80 o'clock this morn
ing, doing ON immense amount OF da-
mage. 1t struck the city Mt the fair
grounds, passing diagonally through the
city and out by the university and
Mount Olivet Cemetery. Its width
seems to have been about quarter Of q
mile. After passing the fair grounds, it
struck the exposition building and Kid
we'll House, seriously damaging tho for
mer. The front of the Academy of
Music, Frieth's grocery store, Dainy's
Wholesale liquor establishment, and
several other smaller buildings near the
corner OF Broad and Cherry streets,
! were crushed. The front windows OF
Hurley Bros. and Hanson & Co. s four
story building. near the same locality,
| we're crushed in. Readle's livery sta
bles. containing au immense amount of
feed, wagons, horses and cattle, were
blown of their foundation into the back
water. Several horses, and, it is sup.
posed, one man, were drowned. Pa
rish's livery stable, on College street,
in the rear Of Bsadle's, was seriously
damaged, besides St .eral feed stores and
small negro dwellings,. Itextended from
there, crushing in the front Of the CO.
lored Methodist Church; next the Medi-
cal College, taking off portion Of it's
roof; from thence TO the magnificent re-.
sidence of Judge Parish, moving the
whole OF the roof out OF place. At this
| hour, it is impossible to enumerate the
number of buildings damaged or the
loss, which will exceed $780, 600. Many
poor families are rendered homeless. It
ls feared there has been serious damage
to property and loss of life along its
track. The telegraph lines were pros
trated all along Its course, ftom Union
City to Nashville.
