Walter bore in Ruins !
Terrible Tornado

On Wednesday of last week one Of
the most destructive cyclones ever
known in. this part Of the country
visited WATERFORD totally -dcmolish-
ing the greater portion of tho won.
The.storm came up about 4 o'c'oc K
in the afternoon and lasted but a few
minutes. Houses were uuroofed and
leveled to the ground and the occn-
pants made to fly for their lives.
Every Church in the town has been
deStroSed,and the greater part of the
dwellings. Six persons have been
killed. aud a great number wounded.
The distress is said to he very great,
and help is needed to alleviate The
suffering.
The people are crowded together in
the few remaining houses.
1t is seldom that such q calamity
comesSso near home to us, and the
hearts aud purses of every n ought
to be opened.
WATERFORD contained n court
house, Jail, two hotels, q number Of
law offices, a dozen stores, one acade-
my, seven churches, and about ninety
dwelling houses, besides the large
complement Of kitchens, negro cabins,
barns, stables, and other outbuild
irgs always found in an OIL Southern
town. The churches and academy
were totally destroyed, and of the
ninety dwelling houses sixty with
their accompanying outbuiidings are
uninhabitable. The entire popula-
ton is crowded into the less than
thirty remaining. There is no money
with which t rebuild, the people
hayitg been very poor, and the pro,
cess of restoring the ruins must ne
cessariiy be q somewhat slow onc.
Until that process is partially com
pi.teRsflere must inevitably be suffer
ing.
Fears of IL famine were Tor the time
relieved by the appearance Of a mum
Der OF wagons and carts belonging to
Alderman Bisscll and his brothers,
bearing provisions from Charleston,
which came in good time.
Charleston is acting nohly. Over
$1,000 is already raised, besides pro
visions from Town Council.

Expulsion Of Flies.

For three years I have lived in a
town, and during that time my sit
ting-room has been free from flies,
three or four only walking about my
breakfast table, while all my neigh
bors' rooms were crowded. 1
often congratulated myself on
my escape, but norer knew the reason
oft until two days ago. l then had
occasion to move my goods to another
house, while | remained for two
days longer. Among other things
moved were two boxes of geraniums
and calceolarias, which stood in my
windows, being always open to full
extent, top and bottom. The boxes
were not gone half an hour before
my room was rs full Of flies as those
around me. This, to me, is a new
discovery, and perhaps it may serve
10 encourage others in that which is
always u source Of pleasure, viz.
window gardening.

DEATH OF A DETECTIVE.

Old Hugh Anderson At Last Called Home.
Hugh Anderson. perhaps the oldest and
best known United States Detective in this
section, died shortly after / o'clock this
morning at the residence of his niece, Mrs.
Hyde, on the Alexander Pike, about three
miles back of Newport.
He was born in Pennsylvania over 60
years ago, and was employed by the Gov
ernment as detective when quite young,
serving until few years ago, when he was
disabled, by paralytic stroke. He was
possessed of wonderful nerve, as many Of
his daring deeds during the late war will
prove. An old companion says that Hugh,
the detective, had an eye that would pierce
you clean through, and a single glance was
sufficient to know you from head to foot.
One of the rooms of his late residence
was decorated with photographs of known
criminals throughout the United States,
and he could give correct history of each
from memory. He was an old-time friend
of the late Clint. Butts, of Covington. His
funeral will take place tomorrow from the
residence of Mrs. Hyde, and the remains
will be laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery.

The Commissioners adopted resolution
asking the County Solicitor, Charles w.
Baker. to give his written opinion upon the
liability of the County. if any, on the
bonds known as the Biddincer Road bonds.
The following was the reply to the above:
Honorable Board County Commissioners:
| do not think the County of Hamilton
is liable for tile payment III the Biddinger
Road bonds. With their issuance under
the law the county had nothing to do.
While giving this as my opinion desire to
add that 1t is an open question as yet un-
decided, and question, too, upon
which gentlemen who have examined
the laws differ in opinion. 1t is
a very important question, and
Your Honorable body owe it to yourselves
and the general taxpayers of the county, to
decide the question so that there shall be
no mistake made that can not be remedied
If holders of the bonds seek to compel the
county to pay them they can proceed in the
Courts OF the county. and If the Courts de-
cide the county is liable it will relieve the
Commissioners of great responsibility
in the premises. Besides this many of
these bonds, it is charged, were altered BY
the EnglEeer. who had charge of the road
BY appointment of the Road Commission
ers. who had charge of the work under the
laws. If the county is liable for the pay
ment of the bonds issued by these
Road Commissioners, it might be urged
that the county would be liable for these
bonds that are alleged to have been altered
it having been done, as said, by the En-
gineer of the road, who certainly was the
|nhyent of the Road Commissioners ! should
prefer that the Courts should decide the
matter.
l do not think the Commissioners ought,
in view of the preceding, to make any
transfer to the Biddinger Road fund from
any county funds.
Very respectfully. C. w. BAKER,
County Solicitor.
The opinion was received and filed and
ordered spread upon the minutes.
After me other minor road business

'Pm the wild man from Borneo; a
mad kangaroo from the wilds of Aus
tralia; an immense iceberg from Siberia
throw me man, that | may deyour
him" These wild and exaggerated state
ments came from the excited person of
Joe Mclaughlin, of Bodie. At the same
time he displayed siege gun that he
captured in the last Fenian raid on
Canada. He was about to reduce the
town to state of perfect inutility when
Officer Maestretti sat down on him, and
laid him out as fiat as though South
American cyclone had struck him. He
was put away on spring mattress in the
lookup.
