Cyclone nj SoIomon civ.

OyCAOAAC At GOlO4lOn OaSys
A special to the Topeka Capital from
Solomon City, dated June 9th, says:
This afternoon about 4 o'clock the
clouds began to gather in the north and
west, and to circle about and take on
changing positions rapidly. AT half
past four a small sharp point was seen
TO drop down slowly three miles north
west of here till it struck the ground,
and the column continued sinking till at
the base, in contact with the earth, It
measured something like forty rods
across and widening gradually In most
magnificent inverted cone into the heav-
ems, then started slowly, moving To
the north and east, and was watched
with intense interest from this point till
it passed out of sight At six O'Clock
the wind began TO change here in most
htful manner, blowing gale from every
point of the compass within the space OF
ten minutes. Then great chunks Of ice
began to fall with force that was more
fearful than can be described, crashing
through windows, cutting the leaves
and small branches from the trees, and
pounding the crops into the ground.
No one who witnessed it EVER saw or
heard anything that equalled it.
Stones fell from one to three inches
through. This storm did not extend, as
your reporter found, more than three
miles west of Solomon City. After the
storm, | took the train and went TO Sa-
lima. AS we were leaving town report
came in that Mr.. James Rairden and his
two sons, living north and west from
here, were killed in the cyclone. When
we got to Salina, man came in with
word that o. FFrothingham, his wife and
farm hand were also killed. will take
horse and start from here at four in the
morning and go over the path of the cy-
clone and send in afull report as soon
as return. Every one here is wild with
excitement, many having friends in the
country from whom they haYe not heard
rs yet. The storm of ice at Solomon
City lasted about a quarter of an
| hour. 1t will not extend over
a strip of country from the north
! west to southeast at the widest point
more than four miles wide, of which
Solomon City is the center. How far in
length have no means of finding out,
but where it did fall goodbye to every
thing in the way of crops-the beautiful
| fields of grain almost ready for the har-
vest, are wiped out. The cyclone, as l
saw it, three miles of, extending as it
| did from earth to heaven fully forty rods
in diameter at the base) was most grand
and imposing; at the same time, as we
thought of the work it was doing, the
most fearful sight ever saw or expect
to see. tremble as 1 think of what ]
will find in its path before tomorrow
night.
LATER.-W. L. rockingham, his
wife and Geo. c. Combs killed in the cy.
clone near Salina. Rairdon and sons
not killed. d. Morgan and sister, north
west of Solomon City, killed. Two dead
bodies found on the Solomon branch OF
the U. p. not known. Six houses

Many persons abuse this delicate and
beautiful ornament by burning it with
alcoholic washes and plastering it with
grease, which has no affinity for the

Cocaine, a compound of cocoanut oil
etc, is unrivalled as n dressing for the

House-keepers should insist upon oh

JEFFERSON CITY, June IA heavy
rain storm accompanied by hail. visited
this place this evening. The hail was
small and did but little damage, while
the rain was greatly needed, as fruits
and grain have already suffered consid
erably from drought.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE southwest
part of Missouri seems to be visited by
the same storm that ravaged parts OF
Kansas night before last. The wind was
not severe, but an immense amount oil
rain and hail fell over a large area OF
country, and did great damage to the
crops and window glass. A water spout
broke in little valley in Bavey county
in which is situated the town of Seven
Star Springs, and before the people
could reach the surrounding hills, a tor
rent of water rushed down, taking with
it houses, tents, household goods and
animals belonging 10 those living neaI
the springs. a woman and five small
children, and a man and two women and
two children were swept away by the
flood, but fortunately they all lodged in
bushes and were rescued some hours

The Storm Record.

NEW YORK, June 1O.-The cold rain
storm which has prevailed in this city
during the past twenty-four hours, has
been very general in the Middle and
Southern New England States. High
winds are prevailing, and much damage
is reported at Long Branch, and accounts
of railroad washouts and detention TO
travel are coming in. The Chief Signal
Officer reports that dangerous floods are
anticipated for the mountain region,
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Eastern Ohio.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, June 10-The most
destructive rain storm for years visited
this city last night about IL O'Clock.
From that hour until three O'Clock in
the morning the rain poured down in
torrents, flooding the cellars and lower
floors in the principal part of the city.
The town branch of the principal sewer
of the city burst its bounds, mourning
great damage. The rain was accompan
led by a severe wind, blowing down
trees, Outhouses and fences. The DAM
age will amount to several thousand dol
lars.
PITTsBUBG. Pa. June 10.-The heavy
and continuous rains of the past week
have caused the rivers to swell to I'M
mense proportions, flooding portions of
Allegheny CITY and the South Side, and
causing great destruction to property
and almost universal suspension of rail
road travel on the roads leading from
the city. The Baltimore & Ohio, Pan
Handle. Allegheny Valley, Pittsburg,
Virginia s. Charleston and Pittsburg &
Lake Erie roads are the greatest suffer
ers, the traffic on some of these being
delayed at least two days. The Fort
WaVne and Pennsylvania roads are still
in good shape, with trains running a
little behind time. At noon today
there was twenty feet of water at this
point with both rivers rising dt the head
waters and prospect of having ten feet
more. Should this be true it will be as
great as the flood of 1892, when the river
reached thirty-five feet, the highest on
record. On the Allegheny river nearly
100000 feet of lumber, estimated at
100000 has been swept away. No
great damage has resulted on the Monon-
gahela, the coal men fortunately getting
their craft nearly all out before the raise
arrived.

deck of the Portuguese ship Marianne ",
of twelve persons who sailed from
Catania for this port the Italian bark Rosna,
September 7. The Rosina had cargo of sulphur
and resin. Criscuao yesterday gave few details
of his experience but did not talk freely. Hespeaks
no English. A terrific hurricane on October II was
followed by violent which swept the decks
fore and aft. The vessel became uHmanageable
Criscualo went below TO fasten some OF the cabin
furniture, aud when he came on deck again he
(ten porsonsl had been swept overheard and
drowned Finding it impossible to manage the ship
alone he gave his attention 10 keeping the vessel
afloat by working at the pumps. For seven days
and nights he remained on deck, scanning the hori-
zon in hopes of being rescued 10y a passing vessel
and working at the pumps. The storm continuing
without abatement, the wretched man had
given up hope when the Marianne V. was sighted
on October Is and he saved.
