past 8 o'clock this morning this vicinity
was visited by the heaviest and most de.
structiye wind storm Leavenworth has
ever had. It had been raining almost
necessarily for sixty houis, and at the
time OF the wind storm the rain was still
coming down in torrents. At an early
hour In the evening lightning began to
play across the sky; the whole air seemed
TO be filled with electricity, and reports
followed each other In such rapid success.
sion that there was an almost unbroken
glare Of lightning and roar Of thunder.
At twenty-five minutes past 8 dense
black cloud was seen in the western hori-
ION, and in few minutes 4 sharp breeze
sprang up from the east, which continued
not over minute; then there was dead
calm, and the rain ceased entirely. Then
began TO be heard the distant roaring OF the
coming tornado. In moment more the
wind struck, and it seemed for time as
II everything above ground was doomed
to destruction. Just rs the hurricane
struck the city there came a binding
fash Of lightning with crash OF thunder
that made the earth tremble. This with
the terrific roaring Of the wind, which can.
not be likened to anything but itself, the
creaking and groaning OF the trembling
buildings, the crash Of falling walls and
flying timbers, made an exhibition Of the
fury Of the elements which tho.e who
witnessed It will never desire 10 sec re-
peated. The wind cloud was funnel
shaped with small end down. 1t moved
with an oscillating motion from west TO
east, rebounding like bombshell, and
scattering ruin IN It's pathway wherever
it struck the earth. The loss To the city
and county cannot be less than Sl600O0
and may reach quarter Of \ million.

We have have received from the Med
ical Director Of the Centennial Exhibi-
tion circular setting forth the sanitary
status Of Philadelphia, the substance Of
which, at least, he wiahes US to publish in
the ISTELIIGEScER, 1t is TO the effect
that there need be no hesitation about
visiting Philadelphia this year on ac-
count Of any fears touching the health Of
the city. He furnishes US table OF sta
tistics for several years past in regard to
the mortality in Vienna, London, Paris,
Berlin, New York and Philadelphia, by
which 1t appears that the average death
rate Is as follows per thousand inhabi-
tants: Vienna, 3l.42; London, 1888;
Paris, 23O6; Berlin, 20.9l; New York,
29.93; Philadelphia, 22.27.
The Medical Director says that PhiIa.
lelphiu has lower average rate Of NOR
l4lity than any city containing over 5OO,-
900 population. In 1874 the death rate was
only 1913 per thousand. This healthfulness
is attributed to the abundant and cheap
water supply and to "the opportunities
given, even the poorest citizens, for the
enjoyment of pure country air in the
great Fairmont Park, which contains 3
99l acres. The extent to which this priv
ilege is valued by the citizens may be in
ierred from the fact that during the year
1875, the Park was visited by over H..
100000 persons"
The most powerful influence OF all
however, is alleged to be the absence Of
that oyer.crowding Of population, which
is the most fruitful source Of sickness and
death in many other large cities. Phila'
delphia has Sl7 ASS inhabitants and they
are spread over IN area Of 129t square
miles. This area is travcrsed by moro
than ! 900 miles Of streets and roads, and
the city contains, in addition to other
kinds OF buildings, $4,000 dwelling
houses occupied by families-n number
exceeding by over 10000 that Of any
other city in America.
The temperature Of Philadelphia in the
summer months is also very favorable tC
health. For the last ten years it has
been As foils.ws, taking the mean: May
CS.2I; June, 1854; July, 1914 August
1892; September, G7.79.
The Medical Director says that "it il
proposed to issue at certain intervals
other circulars, announcing in an official
and accurate manner the sanitary condi'
ton Of the city, so that entire security
may be felt by all who desire to visit the
Centennial Exhibition"

A POINT OF ORDER.

Mr.. Mutchler made poinnt Of order
on the paragraph appropriating 81 ,65O,.
900 for letter carriers, which contains
provisions for abolishing the letter car.
rier system in all cities Of less than S4O,.
900 inhabitants. He regarded the
question Of economy as presented in the
provision as one OF argument and not
Of inference.
After long discussion, Mr.. Springer
(Chairman) decided the point OF order.
He said that although two cities in his
own district would be affected by the pro.
vision, he trusted he would be able 10 di-
vest himself Of all personal consideration
in decidiny a question Of SO much i'm
portance to great many cities. II
seemed plain 10 him that the abolition OF
an Office was prima facie retrench-
ment OF expenditure and therefore he
overruled the point OF order.
Mr.. Mutchler then moved to strike out
the provision abolishing the free delivery
system in cities Of less than 10000 in
habilants.
Without disposing OF the question The
committee rose and the House adjourned

damaging results OF the storm: The
Leayenworth carpet factory, with ma.
chlnery valued at $4,000, was totally de.
stroyed. The roof Of the Odd Fellows
hall, one Of the largest buildings in the
city, was torn off and the interior Of the
building ruined by water. Part OF this
roof fell on the agricultural warehouse Of
Mobitt s Co, crushing the roof Of that
building. and another part Of 1t was car
ried 200 feet away and crushed In one end
Of boarding.house, but happily without
injuring any OF the inmates. The root Of

roof Of the new market house. Part Of
the south wall OF HOffman's liquor store,
part OF the north wall Of the Leayen-

LETTER FROM ASHLAND CITY.

EDITORS CHRoNIcLI,::-After long
resting spell, / again ask for space
in the old and reliable CHRONICLE.
/ noticed in your last an account Of
some ancient relics in West Tennes-
see. Without disparaging the claims
of the aforesaid relics to antiquity, l
think Cheatham county can beat them
at least twenty years in age. There is
pot now in the possession of Mrs.
Catharine Demumbram, widow of the
late John B. Demumbram, which was
brought from France in the year 1745
by Mons. De Mon Bruene, who was
one ofthe first residents of the city of
Nashville, and who was the father of
the said John B. Demumbram. 1t is
true the names are not alike, but the
change is TO be accounted for. from
the anglicising of the original Gallo
patronimic. This pot was used by its
original owner as kind of stove, when
in the immediate vicinity of the in
dams. During the evening he would
build fire in it, and when the fire
would burn down to Goals by dark, he
would cover up the pct, and thereby
prevent any light, to indicate to his
red foes his whereabouts. The pot
has been in continual use for over one
hundred and thirty years, and is still
perfect, except the legs are burned off.
1t holds about fifteen gallons, and is
very thick and heavy.
Sanders and Co., of this town have
quite an ancient relic on exhibition in
their store. While it is not near so
ancient as the other, yet owing to the
diverse character of the two articles
the latter is entitled to be placed on
the roll of antiquities. This latter is
hat, "a panama) that has been worn
for twenty eight consecutive years,
except about one year during the late
unpleasantness, when its owner was
following the fortunes of the lost cause
as member of th 18th Tennessee
regiment. Speaking of the late uu-
pleasantness. makes me think of the
apparent preparations that Cheatham
County is silently making for another
war. In the last few weeks there have
been born in our county four pairs of
twin boys, to say nothing of the dozens
of single male births.
Yours to command.

IT is strange that the excluivsely
hard money advocates have not dis
covered how easy it is to make good
the natural deficiency, in the supply of
precious metals. All that is necessary
is to reduce by two thirds, the size of
each piece Of coin, and then quadruple
its fictitious value. Should the lower
denominations Of gold coin become
microscopieal, by means of the subdi-
vision, silver pieces, Of larger size, but
of equivalent value, can be substituted,
and thus bring into active use, the ba-
ser Of the two precious metals. By
pursuing this plan of subdivision and
corresponding increase of denomina-
tionai values to the extent desired,
paper currency may be altogether dis
pensed with and the price of rags re-
duced for the benefit of paper mills.
