Morocco, Afrca-Asiatc cholera has ap-
peared in the cities of Mequinez and Fez, Mo-
tins daily in the former city, which is about
l70 miles from Tangier Information of the
disease came to Felix A. Mathews, consul of
the United States at Tangier, an ], in his ca
pacity as president of the board of health of
Morocco, he dispatched DR.. Tado Martinez,
formerly of the Spanish navy, to visit Fez and
Mequinez. DR.. Martinez left Tangier Aug. 4,
with an escort of 200 Moorish troops, and, after
forcing his way through the lines Of revolution
lists beeieging Mequinez, entered that city on
the 14th of August, where he found the disease
to possess all the we'll known characteristics of
Asiatic cholera. From report obtained from
the custodian of the Jewish Cemetery the num-
ber of deaths of the Israelites since the first ap-
pearance of the disease exceeded 400. The
disease was reported to have spread to Sherar-
do, province bordering on the city of Men

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.
Buildings Swept Away and People
KILLED,

DETROIT, Sept. 21.-A tornado occurred in
this state yesterday. A despatch from Chip.
pewa station says that sudden darkness fell
upon the place, accompanied by a deathlike
stiffness. The atmosphere was SO light that
respiration seemed difficult. Suddenly the tor
nado struck the town with indescribable force.
1t lasted but few moments, yet in those few
moments it swept away every structure in the
place. The inhabitants were warned by the
darkness and stiffness and took refuge in the
cellars, and in consequence fatal casualties
were few. A wagon maker named Price, his
wife and infant were all injured, the infant
fatally. A Miss Thompson was seriously in
jured and many others hurt, but not fatally.
Johnston's store was demolished and the goods
distributed over the country for hundreds of
yards. Calhoun's store and the school build
iDgs were wrecked. McCune's house was torn
to pieces and the heavy logs of which it was
built were carried like straws through the air.
The cause of the tornado seemed to be the
meeting OF two storms, one from the northwest
and the other from the southeast.
Lamonte's store at Puntwater was demol.
ished, crushing Mrs. Grifing and causing in
slant death.
At Greenville the Baptist church was blown
down, killing workman named Michael
Tighe.

be Triea ON Charge of Conspiracy.
HARTFORD, Sept. 21.-In the Superior Court
today Judge Beardslee gave decision on the
demurrer of defendants counsel to the in
formation charging Wakeley, White, Virgins
and Eurber, late officers of the Charter Oak
Life Insurance Company. with conspiracy to
defraud. Judge Beardslee sustains the first,
fourth and fifth counts of the indictment, and
declares the second and third insufficient. The
fourth and fifth counts, which are sustained,
specifically charge the defendants with corrupt
and unlawful intent to defraud the policy hold
ers and, therefore, with high crime and mis-
demeaDor. Ono of the specific points in the
charge OF the use of unlawful means to carry
out wrong and fraudulent objects, is an alleged
bribing of Charlton T. Lewis, then secretary
OF the Chamber of Life Insurance of this city
and thesstate of New York, to assist them in
obtaining possession of the company. The de-
cision in substance is that the defendants shall
be tried on the charge of conspiracy. The
court fixed the 9th of November as the date on
which the case shall be called. The trial will
commence at that time unless it shall then be
decided to fix day for the trial at the Decem-
ber tenn of the court:
