closed their places of business and are de-
voting the day to caring for dead and wound

more or less wounded, some perhaps fatally.
After the storm some OF the ruins caught
fire, but the fire was checked before spreading
to any extent.
About ten o'clock perfect water-spout Wis

PIGMENTS were reduced to scrap-irOn and kim
dling-wOOd, and in many cases fields with
growing crops SO covered with forest debris or
with mud or sand, that much additional labor
will be required to save what has been plant
ed. No houses or barns are left standing in
the track of the storms, and farmers are en-
tirely without houses or implements with
which to carry OH their farms. Similar re-
ports come from many other sources, and the
demands upon the people for assistance are
very urgent.
st. Louis is doing all in her power for the
relief Of these unfortunate DIST lets; but the
call Is great, and cannot be supplied in an ade-
Quate manner by the citizens Of this State
alone. This Committee, therefore, in behalf
OF the sufferers, appeals to the people of this
country everywhere to come forward and as
sist in relieving the great distress Of the
southwest. The appeals from the fever
stricken cities of the South during the last
two summers were not more urgent than this.
This Committee will furnish information to
any parties having funds to forward to points
needing assistance, and will receive and dis
burse any money or supplies sent here for
this purpose. L. U. STANARD,

Prof. Tice writes from Marshfield,
Mo-, to the st. Louis Republican:
Everywhere along the track of the
tornado there is evidence of wave of
water flowing in the rear of the cloud
spouts. At some places there are only
faint traces of such a wave; at others
the debris is carried up and over OBJ
structions from two to three feet high.
These waves or currents flowed in the
greatest volume up hills. There are
places where the entire top soil is
washed away by the currents. Fibrous
roots and tufts of grass show their d.
rection to have been up hill, and what
is significant, from all points of the
compass towards the top of the hill
where the tornado was raging at time
and expanding its force. No trace at
any point can be found where they
flowed down hill. Many level places
are swept clean of soil. Leaves, grass
and debris of the wrecked buildings frag-
ments of plants carried along by the
current and left in its track and ar
ranged themselves longitudinally to the
current. The following interesting fact
is vouched for by Mr.. George Gilbert, of
this place: He and his wife and four
children were on visit eight miles in
the country, and the center Of the tor
nado passed within five or six yards
from where they were. A wave Of wa
ter, apparently fifteen feet high, rolled
in the rear of the point of contact of
the cloud-spout with the earth. 1t
rolled over them in second, and
seemed ice cold, drenching them thor
oughly. He tells me that in the vicinity
where they were Mrs. Kintzinger,
bedridden for years and entirely help
less, was carried on her bed northwest
and with the storm and let down unin-
jured. Her house was completely de-
molished, and her son Richard. of adult
age, had his thigh badly crushed.
Amputation. it is said, was found to be
necessary, and the report to-day is he
has died.
There are. many astonishing facts
connected with this tornado. About
two miles northwest from town stones
weighing from five to seven hundred
pounds were lifted out of the earth and
carried along some distance in the track
of the tornado. The Hon. j. H. Will

Court, residing in Panther Creek
valley. tells me that stone fell in the
center of H. Roses field estimated to
weigh two tons. 1t is not known
whence it came. He says IN Ne
tornado that passed through shae
valley fifteen minutes later than the one
that passed through here and which
joined this at Dixon, some seventy
eight miles east. the following persons
were killed: j. G. Rose and two IT MS
children; his remaining three were all
badly wounded, and four visitors at the
house were also wounded. Reuben
Yates was killed. Squire Miles Bruton
and Mr.. Kelly were killed. He states
there are five reported killed. But he
does not know it of his own knowledge.
Fourteen miles southeast of here there
resided q family by the name of Scott.
Their residence lay in the track Of the
Pleasant Valley tornado. They were
all adults. Three were killed and three
badly wounded. At that place an ap-
pie tree of the largest size was plucked
up by the roots into the clouds and car
ricd over half a mile before it was
dropped. 1t was reported that man
and woman were seen borne along in
the clouds. The woman, some distance
in advance, seemed to be limp and ap-
parently dead or insensible. The man
was heard to call out aloud above the
the din of the storm. A highly respect
able citizen is given as authority foz
this statement.
About nine miles southeast of here.
five miles outside of the tornado track,
two stones from five to six inches in
diameter fell in yard. A kitchen-safe,
supposed to come from some house,
was wrecked here and fell on Smittler's
farm, unbrOken, twenty miles from
here. Charlie Sanders trunk was
taken from his wrecked lodgings. IT
contained his license to practice law,
which he had just obtained. The:
license was found fifteen miles away
snug and safe in its envelope. A Sec
ton of the iron smoke-stack Of the mill
was taken up into the clouds, carried
four miles and let down in tree top.
1t was seen by many persons at dis
lance varying from two TO six miles,
darting up the funnel, thrown out at
the top and sucked in again in its de.
scent.
Fourteen persons were killed by the
tornado in one settlement before 1t
reached here.
The tornado as far as known COM
mcnced in Arkansas, and was velv
severe at Fayetteville. A gentleman
living in Stone County informs me that
the tornado was very severe in that
county. In the Crow Creek settlement
ten were killed; at Flat Creek three
were killed; and a young couple Of the
name of Simpson were both killed:
also Mr.. McCulloch. In its rampage
through Green County he knows of a
widow, Mrs. Galloway, Mr.. Braseel
and Mrs. Thompson who were
killed.

Preaching by Telephone.

The congregation of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, was widely scattered
yesterday, for the sermons were trans.
mitted to various points in New York
and New Jersey through the telephone.
The transmitters in the church were
placed under the Mount Olivet table on
the platform. The instruments were
arranged by Mr.. Charles E. Chinook,
the electrician of the Bell Telephone
Company, so that whichever way the
preacher turned his words were caught
up, even as he walked up and down his
fifteen-foot rostrum, and carried along
the circuit. Instruments were placed
in the Brooklyn office at 342 Fulton
street. at the home of Mr.. Alfred E..
Beach, Nineteenth street, New York F.;
at the executive Office of the company,
Twenty-tirst street, New York; at New
ark and Orange, at the home of Mr..
Chinook. Nassau street, Brooklyn; at
the home of Robert Brown, Carlton
avenue; at the Nassau street, New
York, office; at the Jersey City branch
Office and at the home of Mr.. H. w.
Pope, General Superintendent of the
company, at Elizabeth. This was the
first attempt to transmit a sermon on
such an extended scale, and was regard
ed as sufficiently successful to demon
strate the possibility of distributing a
sermon to any number of hearers.
Owing to the necessity for concealing
the transmitters from the congregation,
as we'll as to the drawback Of having
but one wire. the sound was not at all
times distinct, but was interrupted by
inquiries from various points on the cir
cult. Whenever the preacher thumped
his Bible there was whiz and whirr
that was anything but solemn.
The music of the choir of the congre-
cation and the soloist were heard plain
~ all over the circuit, but the big organ
sounded like very diminutive melode-
on. The sermons were rather discon-
nected, from the fact that the listeners
at the instruments were constantly
changing, and occasionally the wires
would get crossed or the plugs pulled
out, SO that the discourse would get
mixed with messages.
As soon as all the listeners got quiet,
however, the sermons were heard with
distinct ness, and when the number of
listeners on the circuit was decreased,
the sound became much more distinct
than when the circuit was open for all.
Mr.. Chinook said that with separate
transmitter and separate wire there
would be no trouble whatever in hear
ing the whole of any service without
interruption. The peculiar tone and
accent of the preacher. were easily
recognizable, and the sermon might
have been heard by any one Of the s.
500 persons who are in communication
with the Bell Telephone Company.
Mr.. Chinook says that it would be
possible for preacher to stay at home
and preach his sermOn to q congrega-
ton of 10000 at their homes.-M r
