THE ONLY OUTLETS,

The only outlets were to the south.
 Batteries thundered to the north and west, and the country to the east was being continually fought for. Grant kept reaching out that terrible long arm of his after new positions, and Lee kept extending his lines to checkmate, and during the last months of the siege of Petersburg the Petersburg & Richmond Railroad was really the only safe outlet. How safe this was may be judged by the fact that it's trains were under fire when running in or out of Petersburg, and al different times locomotives and cars were knocked to pieces by Federal shells

 After the first alarm and the return of the fugitives the idea was to affect an air of unconcern and feel sorry that Gen. Grant should waste so much ammuni- tion for nothing. Stores were opened, business went ahead and the schools fourished, and when two of the unter- riied met conversation would run about as follows:
 "Rello! Been hit yet?"
 "No; have you?"
 "No, but the house next door had g chimney knocked off last night"
 "Well, guess there's no danger"
 ooh, no, no-of course not-of course not. Imerely mentioned the incident to show you how reckless Grant is with his ammunition. Good morning."

President Arfhur's Inaugural.

Upon being sworn in as president O

President Arthu. read the following ad
dress from manuscript:
For the fourth time in the history O
the republic, its chief magistrate ha.
been removed by death. All hearts ar,
filled with grief and horror at the hide
GUS crime which has darkened on
land; and the memory of the murder
ed president, his protracted sufferings
his unyielding fortitude--the example
and achievements of his life and patho
of his death-will forever illume thu
pages of our history. For the fourth

vacancy so created is called to as

wisdom of our fathers, foresee
ing even the most dire possibilities
made sure that the government shonlt
never be imperiled because of the un
certainty of human life. Men may
die, but the fabrics of our free institu
tons remain mistaken. No higher OF
more assuring proof could exist of the
strength and permanency OF popular
government than the fact that though
the chosen of the people be stricken
down, his constitutional successor is
peacefully installed, without shock OF
strain, except the sorrow which mourns
the bereavement All the noble aspi-
rations of my lamentcd predecessor,
which found expression in his life, the
measures devised and suggested during
his brief administration to correct
abuses and enforce economy, to adj
vance prosperity, and promote the gen
eral welfare, to insure domestic security
and maintain friendly and honorable
relations with the nations of the earth,
will be garnered in the hearts of the
people; and it will be my earnest
endeavor to profit and to see that
the nation profit by the example
and experience. Prosperity blesses
our country. Our fiscal policy
is fixed by law, is well-grounded, and
generally approved. No threatening
issue mars our foreign intercourse, and
the wisdom, integrity and the thrift of
our people may be trusted to continue,
undlsturbed, the present assured career
of peace, tranquility and welfare. The
gloom and anxiety which have en-
shrouded the country must make re-
pose especially welcome now. No de-
mand for speedy legislation has been
heard; no adequate occasion is appa-
rent for an unusual session of congress
The constitution defines the functions
and powers of the executive as clearly
as those of either Of the other depart
ments of the government, and he must
answer for the just exercise of the discre-
ton it merits, and the performance Of
The duties it imposes. Summoned to
these high duties and responsibilities,
and profoundly conscious of their mag
nitude and gravity, l assume the trust
imposed by the constitution, relying
for aid on Divine guidance and the vir-
tue, patriotism and intelligence of the
American people.

A DESTRUCTIVE BLAST.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Sept. 27.--One of tho
most terribly destructive tornadoes
ever experienced in this section Of
country occurred in this city late this
afternoon. About 4 O'Clock the people
on Front street noticed black, threat.
ening cloud approaching from the west
and almost before they realized the
fact the tornado had struck the citv
1t was accompanied by heavy thunder
wind, light ing, and heavy rainfall
The wind-storm swept ever almost the
entire city, its path being over two
miles in width. In point Of loss Of I'm.
man life and destruction of property
also it is the most serious disaster that
ever occurred in Quincy. On North
Front street the scene is one of great
destruction. AT Joel Harris tobacco
factory the roof was torn off and the
upper part of the front wall blown in
carrying the floors with is nearly to the
basement. The list of casualties in
this building include the following:
Henry Woodhouse, q tobacco roller
was found in the debris dead.
Wright Harris was taken out with
some difficulty, and was found to be
badly cut about the head, and is also
bruised about his legs.
A boy named Bowen had one of his
legs broken and the other badly in
jured.
Freddy Martin, son of Harry Martin,
was caught between the timbers and
badly bruised, but it is thought that no
bones are broken.
Johnny Cole and Joseph Headlin
were seriously injured about the head
and shoulders.
The other employees Of the factory
were more or less injured, but their
names could not be learned
Trees We're uprooted or broken in
parts over the city and strewn over the
streets and pavement. Everewhere
there is Understandable confusion. The
most perfect. wreck to be witnessed is
the condition of the telegraph and
telephone wires. They may be found
anywhere except on the poles. They
were broken, twisted, and blown
away. Not Il wire remains, in fact. The
bridges on the roof of the telegraph
offices were blown to the ground.
Workmen are engaged in trying to
bring some system out of the chaos,
but no telegraph reports can be ex-
pected before Monday. The large front
window in the upper story of the Web
ster school building was blown in, and
a portion of the south wall. The sec
ond and third stories are also blown in.
A part Of the roof Of the Brothers
school in East Quincy was blown off,
and the fence on the south side blown
down. Henry Corley's handsome
pleasure boat, The Daisy ID, was
SWEPT TO THE WATERS EDGE,
and the whole upper works carried
away. Two of the crew, who were try
ing to secure the boat, were carried
over board, but saved themselves from
drowning. The roof of Stewards large
ice storehouse on the bay was blown
of, and much Of the ice will be melted
by the rain. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the loss tonight. Fortunately
the rainfall was of short duration, and
the loss from damaged goods will not
be us heavy as 1t would otherwise have
been.

IT is marvellous that President Gar
field survived his wound as long as ne
did. 1t is marvellous, indeed, that he
survived the terrible injury for even a
single day. The bullet fractured the
spinal column and scattered fragments
of the bone into the surrounding flesh,
and, had he not been a man Of power
full physical organization and almost
superhuman will-power, he would
have succumbed at once. The fracture
of the spine alone was a fatal hurt, and
it was only question of time when
the end would come. But even if he
had survived, that spinal fracture would
surely have rendered him a paralyzed
and helpless cripple during all the re-
naming days of his life.
