FUSION.

county among Democrats, over the
possible fusion of the Republican
party with the National Labor

men who are perhaps Il little weak
in faith, it is feared that by such a
splicing of the two elements, the
success of the Democratic county
ticket will be largely jeopardized.
For ourSelf we do not largely share
in this fear. What the strength of
the Greenback party is, or will be,

suits were frightful. Afterwards
light rain fell, which soon passed off ,
and at eight O'Clock, when the tain

heavens were clear and the moon
Shone brightly. BY actual count
forty dwelling houses were demOl-
iShed and ut least fifty barns. Thir-
ty persons were killed or mOrtally
wounded. The scene was a most
heartrendlng one. The wooden
houses were carried clear off their
foundations from few feet to an
eighth of mile. In the line of the
tornado nothing WAS left standing
and on each side of its track lesser
damage was done chlmneyS especial
ly suffering. The Catholic church,
wooden, and the new brick High
SchOol were totally demolished.
The top of the brick factory of the
Wallingford community was carried
away. Fires were communicated 10

and stoves and but for the rain the
horror of the affair would have .been
greatly increased. There were mluy
incidents. The youth, Mathew
Mooney, was standing on railroad
track when struck by the full force
of the tornado. He was picked up
fifty feet away. almost beheadeu.
Mrs. Huldy had her child in her

swept out of existence and barns
lifted clear off the hay contained
therein, the latter being left stand

houses taken off. The railroad
tracks were not disturbed and
trains are running as usual. Physi-
