TERRIBLE CYCLONE.


Western Georgia Devastated by Hurri-
cane-Many Persons Killed and Wounded
Great Destruction of Property.
Atlanta papers contain full details of
the terrible tornado that devastated a
portion of Western Georgia on the night
of the Sd inst. A dispatch from Colum-
bus, Ga, reports: "Another tornado in
Harris and Talbot counties started near
the Chattahooche river in Harris, and
went through Talbot. The storm neared
the recent tornado, and in one place fol-
lowed it for five miles. The loss of
property is immense, Up to this evening
it is ascertained that seventeen lives were
lost, among them five whites. About
thirty-fve persons were wounded, and
large number of mules and COWS killed
outright. Fences and houses were
blown entirely away, and the crops along
the route are entirely destroyed. Por-
tions of houses were blown distance OF
fifteen miles,"
At West Point the cyclone demolished
all the outhouses on ex-Mayor Reeds
place. A large wagon was picked ur
and carried across Chattahooche River
At Golfers farm, in Alabama, three
miles from the city, all the out-houses
were destroyed and three negroes killed
The storm swept through the town Of
Berlin, Ala, destroying houses of al
kinds on the places of John Booker,
where it seriously, if not fatally, wounded
the wife of the proprietor, and killed al
his mules; P. G. Collins, where il
wrecked everything, but killed no one
and J. J. Benton, where it tore down al
the out-houses, and killed one negro.
A dispatch from Rutledge, Ga, gives
the following account of the storms raw

Lima, Ohio (May y, Cor. Chicago Times.l
A bold attempt was made to rob the
express car on the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago road on the train
that passed this place at 2 o'clock this
morning. After the train starts from
here it does not stop until it reaches
Forest, about thirty miles distant, and
passes over lonesome part of the coun-
try, but thinly settled, and, for the most
part, covered by large marsh. While
this train was speeding along over this
dreary waste, a robber disguised in q
black muslin cloth drawn tight over his
shoulders back of his head and over his
face, and tucked down in his vest, en-
tered the car by saving out one of the
panels of the door, and approaching
George 81. Price, the express messenger,
who was doing in his chair, demanded
his surrender. The messenger jumped
from his chair and drew his revolver,
but, before he could shoot, the robber
fired at him twice, one ball taking effect
in the right wrist, and the other
wounding his chin and lodging
in his right shoulder. While this
was going on, the express messenger took
deliberate aim and fired, shooting the
robber square in the forehead, killing
him instantly. After the messenger was
sure his man was dead, he pulled the bell
connecting with the engine and stopped
the train. Upon search no other men
were found who could be In league with
the robber. The tram then continued Its

The Democratic Policy,
Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.l

Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.I
Sam Randall has announced what will
be one feature of the Democratic House.
His opinion is of some value, as he is a
prominent candidate for the Speaker
ship. He says that the Democrats pro-
pose to abolish the Office of Commission
er of Internal Revenue on the ground
that since the bulk of the internal rev.
enue taxes is now collected from whisky
and tobacco by the means of stamps, the
expensive machinery of the Internal
Revenue Bureau is no longer needed.
This was Senator Summers idea, and he
introduced bill for that purpose. The
only way, of course, in which the Demo
Gratis can abolish the Bureau is by refus-
ing appropriations.

the curtain down. In five minutes the
curtain went up, and the play proceeded.
1t was discovered that the commotion
was the result of discussion back of the
flats, between the Earl of Essex and
super, about Mrs. Rousby's speech. The
super sustained her, whereupon the Earl
knocked him down.

AFoRMDABLE rival of Bret Harte and
John Hay is looming up in Indianapolis,
where a detective recently testified as
follows on the witness stand: "Pearl
chinned me to take this house work; this
was not at the Sheenys. He told me to
cheese it on the Sheeny, as he had given
him away. I then asked him what kick
up he and the Sheeny had, as my mob
had split on me, and left me without a
fnneff."

CoUeHMG.-The best method of easing
a cough is to resist it with all the force
of will possible, until the accumulation
of phlegm becomes greater then there
is something to cough against, and it
comes up very much easier and with half
the coughing. A great deal of hacking,
and hemming, and coughing in invalids
is purely nervous, Or the result of mere
habit, as is shown by the frequency with
which it occurs while the patient is
thinking about it, and its comparative
rarity when he is SO much engaged that
there is no time to think, or when the
attention is impelled in another direc-

DOMESTIC S1GNs.-When you see a
sofa and two lengths of stove-pipe on
front stoop, and child on the premises
eating a slice of bread and jam, it is safe
to believe that the family has just moved
in. When you several windows open,
with lengths of carpet hanging from
them, and a child at the front eating
bread and jam, it is an equally sure in
dication that thefamily is cleaning house.

A PROVOKING piece of impudence was
recently perpetrated upon Miss Emily
Soldene, the opera bouffe singer, in New
Orleans. A superb boquet was thrown
upon the stage, and the fair artist, after
smiling sweetly upon the young man
who threw it, stopped to pick it up.
Just before her fingers touched it, it was
suddenly withdrawn, a string having
been attached to it f or that purpose.
The gifted youth has been heavily fined
for the outrage.

The TiIton-Beecher Trial

EIGHTY DAY.-The day was princi-
pally devoted to disproving the alibi claimed
by Mr.. Beecher relative to the interview with
Mrs Moulton on the I'd of June, 1878. Lewis
J.. James, Superintendent of the Health Lift
Company swore positively to seeing Mr..
Beecher on that day, walking in the direction
of Remsen street. jeremiah P. Robinson and
Mrs. Moulton were also sworn, and were
reasonably certain of the date.
E1GHTY-FHTH DAY.-Theodore Tilton occu
pied the witness stand the whole day, and en-
tered into a sweeping denial of the testimony of
Tracy, Woodley, Mrs. Palmer, Bessie Turner,
Oliver johnson and Sam Wilkeson.
EIGHTY-s1xTH DAY.-The feature of the days
proceedings was the appearance of Mrs. Wood
hull in the courtroom. She made short in
troductory speech to the court, and then offered
package of letters, supposed to relate in some
degree to the parties to the scandal. After this
she retired, when Moulton was recalled and
asked few questions. The prosecution then
rested, much to the surprise of everybody.
The defense then commenced their surrebuttal
testimony. Freeland was called and fatty con-
tradicted Mr. Bowen as to the time of the meet
ing at his house.
EIaHTY-sEvENTH Day.-Several witnesses
were recalled, including Bowen, Clafin and
Southwick, after which Mr.. Evarts announced
that the evidence was all in, and that he and
Judge Porter would occupy not more than five
days summing up for the defense. Mr..
Beach, for the plaintiff, will occupy about as
much time, and the Judge only day or two
so that the first week of summer may see the
case closed finally. The court adjourned fol-
six days to allow the counsel time to prepare
! for summing up.

TIE beretta which was recently be-
slowed upon our new Cardinal McClos-
key with such ceremony, by the Papal
ambassadors is not the Cardinal hat
proper, but simple skull-cap, to be
worn at the pleasure of its possessor.
The Cardinal hat, which is to be given
Cardinal McCloskey at the hands of the
Pope in Rome at some subsequent date,
is never worn upon the head, and ap-
pears only on important occasions, when
it is carried at the side of the Cardinal
by his chief officer.

Mrs. RoUsBY, the English actress,
created a sensation at the Grand Opera
House, Cincinnati, one night re-
Gently, by. coming before the
curtain at the close of the act,
and making bitter speech, complaining
of the support. She said one actor had
got drunk, and his part had to be read
by another. She felt mortified to have
to appear under such circumstances,
which, she declared, was the most dis
graceful she had ever met. A long wait
followed this speech. The members OF
the stock company looked on it as an in
suit, and refused to proceed without an
apology. At last the curtain, was rung
up, and the play proceeded, but was in.

-1etcf DlDDlo OF DuLcn I1lil WeJ
with q severe accident on Sunday
morning last, which, if it does not
permanently cripple him, will at least
render him unfit for labor for several
months. He was running out creek
piece from Newtown and when at or
near Morgan's mill, an oar blade was
broken, which rendered the "piece"
unmanageable. Sibble tried to land,
when by some means his left ankle
was caughtin a coil of the cable, aud
he was thrown into the creek. One
end Of the line was fast to log raft
which was tied there, and the parties
on the raft took in the situation at a
glance, and seeing that if they could
not pull him to their raft, he must
certainly drown, they pulled him in
through two hundred feet of water, bis
head and body under the water aud
lifted him on the raft. 1t was seen at
once that he wns seriously hurt, and
he was Immediately carried to house
close at hand, and Chas. Harrangtcn II
was sent to summon medical assist
ance. Drs. Winans and Blaine re.
paired to the place as soon as the state
of the roads would permit, and found
the unfortunate man suffering terribly /;
the tibia, or shin bone was disjointed
at the ankle, and protruded through
the skin four inches. The sight was
said to have been horrible. The boces
were with great difficulty put in their
proper position, the surgeons believing
there were some hopes Of saving the
foot, giving the sufferer, at all events,
the benefit of the doubt. The foot
may yet have to be amputated, but it
is hoped that it will not be necessary.
Ten days will tell whether he is to be-
come sound man or otherwise. We
fervently hope that his limbs may be
spared him, as he is hard-working, in
dustrious man, and literally one who
earns his bread by tho sweat of his
brow. He was three years in the ar
my, serving in the SD Regiment P. V.
and was good soldier, coming out at
the close Of the war without scratch,
and it is really unfortunate if the man
is to lose his foot, that it did not oc-
eur in the service of his country, SO
that the pension might in some degree
compensated for his misfortune. His
old comrades will be glad to hear OF
his entire recovery, should such be the
result.
LATER-Dr. Blaine informed us
last evening, that he had just arrived
in town from a visit to the injured
man, and he finds the foot continues
warm, which is very Encouraging.
