DEVASTATING CYCLONE.

Buildings and Fences Swept Away-A
Number OF Fatalities.
DETROIT. Mich, April 8.-Further accounts
show that the cyclone of Thurday night visited
the township of Assyria Barry county. and
with the same general results of devastation.
Its track was about 40 rods in width. Mr..
Mead's two small children are reported killed,
with another badly injured. Charles Reynolds
was also killed, and his wife and two children
were severely injured. Levi Kenyon was in
jured, probably fatally, and his buildings were
demolished. This is the third visitation OF the
sort in two years in this township. Additional
particulars from Kalamo, Eaton county, state
that man named Benjamin Conkling was
killed, and his house and barn were wrecked.
Some 10 or IL other houses and barns were de-
molished, and the ground was swept clean OF
fences and everything else in the path OF the
tornado.
A Topeka dispatch says that the storm in
the vicinity of Chase was tornado rather
than cyclone, and that the damage was even
worse than previously reported. Many curious
freaks of wind are mentioned but remarkably
few fatalities seem to have resulted. Michigan
dispatches estimate the damage done by the
cyclone in Kalamo and Carmel townships at
$4,000 to $4,000.

Terrorism in Ireland.
THE MURDER OF A WOMAN IN WEST
MEATH LAID AT GLADSTONE'S
DOOR.

DUBLIN, April 8.-Smythe, West Meath
landlord, who, while returning from church
last Sunday with some ladies was fired at but
escaped, while one of ladies was killed, has
written letter to Gladstone, in which he says:
"Your pratical adhesion to the principle that
force is no remedy in case of Irish savagery,
has eliminated in making it possible for land
league association to murder my sister at-law
at MONDAY. I lay the guilt of that deed of
blood at your door in the face OF the whole
country, supported as you are by the mo rent
members of Parliament and their press and some
of the Irish bishops. The terrorism existing
under the protection of your police is SO tre-
mendous, that know there are but few who
would venture to denOunce the murderers had
they seen them. Were they to do 80 their
lives would certainly be forfeited, while the
prisoner would almost as surely escape after
the farce of trial by jury" Mr. Gladstone
replying, assures Smythe of his heartfelt SYM
pathy and is confident that Mr.. Smythe will
readily understand why he does not notice his
charges
A Magistrate Defes Assassins.

actually paid for, but he defes the assassins.
He draws a remarkable picture of the state of
the escort of two armed policemen and armed
groom. Counting the Winchester rifle, the re-
volvers and shotguns of the party, there are %
roRuds that can be discharged in as many Sec
onds with "a in reserve. His escort search all

neighborhood of his house is patroled all night

to aid in the search for explosive and asssssins
