Terrific storm at louisville.

LOUISVILLE. Nov. 27.-A fearful tor
nado played havoc in the southern por"
ton of the city this morning. Those
who saw it say one immence cloud came
up from the southwest at four minutes to
6 o'clock: it was a black and gloomy
| spectacle. As it neared the city it was
seen to be revolving at fearful rate
and directly a delage of rain began to
fall. Lit up by lural electric light, it
seemed that the world was coming TO an
end. and doubtless people in the track pur-
sued by the whirlwind truly thought so.
1t struck the city at the far end of Att
street, Rev. Stuart Robison's horse being
of the first to suffer. Thence it continued
in northeastern direction leaving the city
at Cave Hill. The south fence of Central
Park is all blown down, The old Louis
vile base ball park is completely riddled,
not the least portion of the fence standing,
except half of east side The roof of the
grand stand is smashed into kindling wood
and blown away. The grounds and street,
are strewn with broken boards and tim
bers. DR.. Stuart Rohinson's house is
slightly damaged. About one third of the
tin roof being blown off. NJ s. Fish hbaucks
carpet beating establishment on 3rd
street, was completely demolished. The
building was frame and nothing is now
standing but the foundation; the loss is
$500. A suburb known as Brownstown
was badly damaged: roofs, windows, fem
ces and trees suffered worse.
At Laval crystal spring distillery at end
of lst street, the wind from across the
commons had full sweep and great damage
was done. The new brick warehouse was
completely blown down-not brick being
left standing of south and west walls.
Warehouse contained 800 barrels of whis-
ky, only three of which were destroyed.
Tin roof of warehouse was blown off and
torn into fragments like so much paper.
Portions of it were carried into q field
quarter of mile away. Main distillery build
ing, which is frame, was also damaged
slightly; chimneys blown down and roof
injured. From here the tornado seemed
to take a leap to Mechanic street, between
Preston and Shelby and here it was in it's
fercest fury. There is hardly house on
the street not more or less destroyed.
The street is covered with shingles and
broken boards. Adam Schuster's two
story brick had it's roof carried off and
several windows blown in. About Cave
Hill there was much done to monuments,
shrubbery, and houses in the vicinity The
three story grocery kept by John Hof-
man, had the roof lifted, walls cracked.
and the water driven into the building.
The residence of Mr.. W. B. Fleming on
West Broadway. which was about half
finished, was badly shattered. Cave Hill
cemetery suffered severely The tornado
at this point appearing to have been
exceedingly vicious The immense solid
stone gateway was tossed down and bro
ken to pieces. The inside of the cemetery
looks as though it had been cannonaded.
In the southeastern suburb, Germantown.
there was widespread harm done to roofs,
etc. The storm was very severe five miles
from the city on the Sd street road.

| The effect OF this negotiation on the for
eign exchange market was quite marked,
aud towards the close Of the day prime
bankers sixty day bills, were offered down
to sol, it being generally believed that a
large amount of bills would be drawn
against stock, most of which is TO go to
London. The effect on the government
bond market was favorable, it being be-
| Iieved that the proceeds of this stock sold
! by Vanderbilt would be partly invested in
| these securities, and the remainder in the
| Western Union & Lake Shore. 1t Is re-
ported that a combination will be formed
similar to that of the Pennsylvania rail
way system, taking in the New York
Central, Lake Shore, Michigan Central,

DENVER, Nov. 26.-An important case
involving in it's results the title to all
property upon which Leadville stands, was
decided by Judge Hallet of the United
States District Court to-day. The title to
the land upon which the town stands and
suburbs have been derived through patents
from the United States government for
placer mining grounds. The case was the
St Louis Smelling & Refining Company
vs. Thomas Kemp ct al, brought by the
company to recover lease which was
purchased from the patentee, Thomas
Stow, by the company and which was
taken possession of by the defendants.
The court decided the patent void on the
ground that it appeared from the evidence
that the patentee's tract of placer mining
ground was composed of several different
placer claims, which he had purchased
and it did not appear in the proceedings
that he had made as many different app!i-
cations, or had as many rulings made oy
the surveyor general, or posted as many
different notices. or done $500 worth OF
work in all the different claims which had
been conveyed TO him. constituting the
tract including in the patent. The case
goes to the United States Supreme Court
