ing around so swiftly that they looked
as if torn TO pieces. They were found
utterly unbruised, but stone dead.
From the southwest corner of me
town to the cemetery. which is in the
northwest, there is track say eighty
feet in width, which looks as though a
railroad had been laid out Here and
there is a hole, such as you will see where
a man has started TO build house, has
walled up his cellar and then failed.
Scattered about these holes are masses
of splinters and sawdust. Just across
the main street stood wagon-shop.
Every vestige of the building has dis
appeared, and in its place stands pile
of wagon-hubs and ties.
On either side of the road, and Just
on the line of the storm, stand some of
the dismsntled and unroofed houses.
Some of them were moved from twenty
to one hundred feet from their founda-
tons. In every instance sides are stuck
full of huge splinters, some two feet in
circumference, and driven through the
sides of the houses with apparently re-
sistless force The whole affair lasted
only two minutes.

A Lion at Largo.
Excitement nj circus In Brooklyn A Lion
Breaks from his Cage, but is Driven Back
by his Keepers.


Breaks from his Cage, but is Driven Back
by his keepers.
From the New York Tribune Saturday,
A large African lion, known as Par.
ker, belonging to Howes Il Gushing 5
circus and menagerie, at Flatbush and
Fifth avenues, in Brooklyn, broke some
of the bars of his cage yesterday after
noon, and dashed through the tent which
contained the wild animals into the open
space which surrounded the circus tent,
and which was separated from the street
by high board fence. Great excite
ment was at once created among the per-
formers and employees, who rushed for
the street in their stage costumes. Dur
ing all the excitement the audience in
the main tent was unaware of what was
going on in the smaller Enclosure and
outside. As the performers were fled,
Mr., Bowles, the man who had been left
by Prof Losson in charge of the cages,
seized pole and dashed through the
opening into the tent. As he passed one
of the boxes blockading the passage, one
of the female performers rushed toward
him pursued by the lion. Her clothing
had been torn from her back by the
animal, which had caught the sweeping
trail of her dress, tearing it to pieces. |
Bowles, as the woman sprang toward
him, seized her and threw her over the
large dressing cases, at the same time /
throwing himself to one side thus es-
Gaping from the Infatuated lion. After
looking around for a minute in the open
space, the animal dashed back again
toward the menagerie, encountering one
Of the performing dogs, Patty, in his
passage The lion seized the dog in his
avs, and in an instant crushed it into
,hapeless mass. This appeared to moli-
y his anger, and he crouched upon the
ground munching the carcass and growl-
ng with satisfaction Meanwhile the
performers and tent men who could be
'ecalled from flight collected about the
ent, armed with polls, sticks and clubs.
At this time Prof Losson arrived, and
lrmed with weapon used for Furnishing
he animal, began the assault on the
ion. He ordered his aids to form
emi-circle around the beast, and, APP
preaching it, snapped his whip, shouted
md pointed to the cage. The animal
growled and glared upon his master,
Who, keeping his eye upon it, struck the
yeast severe blow across the face. 1t
lowled, and retreated toward the cage.
following it rapidly up with we'll direct
d blows, one of which famed one of the
nimal's legs, the lion was forced into
cage which was then securely fastened.
The lion was captured in Africa when ,
le was apparently four years old. In
he London amphitheatre he killed his
,eeper, Thomas Jarvis, noted lion. .

On Tuesday the I'd inst, state sena-

his brother-in-law, George King, were
assassnated while crossing the river
near Coushatta, by an unknown man,
who appeared on the river bank and
fired upon them with repeating rife.
King was killed. Twitchell fortunately
escaped with the loss of an arm. The
negro ferry-man was also wounded. SEN
ator Twitchell was one of the holding
over republican senators, and was a
brother of one of the victims of the
Coushatta massacre of 1874. Both
Twitchell and King were from Newfane
in this county. Senator Twitchells bus.
mess is in New Orleans, and he had gone
to Coushatta to transact some business
previous to coming north with Mrs. vii.
lis, his sister, whose husband was also a
victim of the previous massacre, and
VINO mad determined to give up her res
idence in Coushatta and return to her
old home.
Senator Twitchell, was an officer
in Vermont regiment, and served with
distinction all through the war. King
who was killed with him, was his broth.

IN 1874. He was one of the eighteen
state senators holding over under the

nine were republicans. His death gives
the democrats one majority, very con.
