James Spenley's smsling furnace
was battered at one corner, reducing
it almost to ruins. It nsxt carried

ly injuring Mr.. Coleman, his wife and
daughter John Allen who were
in the house at the tisae. Thence it
danced on to the large frame house
of John Speusley. which was carried
into the air and spread to the
four winds. There were twelve per-
sons in the house, and when they
saw the storm coming, thoughtfully
entered the cellar. All got toto the
basement except Mrs. Waller, who
thought that one Of the children
was left up stairs, and wanted to get
it. When the storm struck, the
house oscillated and cracked visibly.
The windows were blown In, the
doors few open, tho house was cleft
in twain, and the fierce blast grasp
cd the form Of Mrs. Waller, bearing
it aloft and then dashed e t. x1h1
ground, about eighty yards from
where the house stood. She fell
lifeless, with two arms broken, and
otherwise bruised. Her shoes were
taken from her feet aud borne on the
wings OF the furious wind. A large
barn and carriage house stood ,
short distance from the house, which
contained several carriages, buggiss,
cutters, horses, etc. The hub Of
one Of the wheels Of ; buggy Was
cut out as II by piece Of machinery
made for the purpose, the other part
of tho wheel or buggy not being in
the least injured. One of tho cut.
tors could not be found anywhere.
The debris of the barn was taken
and carried in An opposite direction
from the passage Of the cyclone,
another strange freak Of the terri
bio phenomenon.
The houses Of Mr.. kddington and
Leonard and B. G. Bennett were
next visited. All three were mown

their contents. A sicksning scene
was here presented. Mrs. Leonard
was found ia . gutter, . short dis

more fearful manner than any yet
