Another disastrous Tornado.
SELMA (Ala.), April 24sh.-Between and
Q o'clock Saturday night points east and
south of here for distance Of from fourteen
to twenty miles were visited by combined
wind and rain-storm that in strength sur
passed any similar occurrence there. The
cyclone proper lasted oaly few minutes,
and ranged over track about twelve miles
in length and from q quarter TO half a mile
III breadth. Everywhere in its course houses
were blown literally to pieces, fences torn
down and immense forest trees twisted from
thsir trunks and carried away. Nothing
STAYED its progress. Several brick houses
were blown off smooth with the ground, and
ths brick and mortar were found hundreds Of
yards distant. 0ae woman was found pierced
through and through by piece of splintered
plank. that must have been hurled with
fearful velocity and deadly certainty. The
ragged lance entered from the rear and
passed directly through her heart. At w. l..

negro quarters were built in straight line
through magnificent grove Of live oak trees,
and the houses, being right in the course Of
the cyclone, were tumbled over and together
in fearful way. Hardly a negro on the
place escaped without some wounds, and
many were painfully and dangerously hurt.
The scene at the time, with men, women aud
children buried under fallen trees and houses,
seleaming and praying for aid, while all
about them was inlzy blackness with rain
pouring in torronts, can be easier imagined
than described. Two negroes. woman and
boy, were instantly killed and crushed be-
yond resembisrcs cs to being human, three were
dangerously injured about their heads, and
broken arms and legs are common. Reports
from locations where house were unroofed
and trees and fences blown down are numer-
ous. Wherever the tornado went it left in
its track widespread devastation.
