A Springfield Account.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, May photographic
communications are not yet restored with
Oronogo, and particulars OF the ravages of
the cyclone there last night cannot be OBJ
tanned. 1t is known, however that all the
business part of the town and about two
thirds of the residences were demolished.
Three persons were killed outright and
thirty-five to forty wounded. 1t is thought
that Webb City and Joplin escaped serious
injury, although signs and parts of awnings
belonging in Webb City were carried to Oro-
nogo, distance of several miles, by the
wind Telegraph wires were blown down
for fifteen miles in different directions. The
st. Louis & San Francisco railroad escaped
with slight damage. The officers of the road
sent relief trains from Carthage and other
points to Oronogo with surgeons, medicines
and nurses

BRADY HANGED.


He Goes Bravely to Death-HIs Mothers
Courageous Counsel.
DUBLIN, May IA Joe Brady was hanged
at o'clock this morning. A vast concourse
gathered outside the prison yard in which
Brady was executed. A strong force of cav
airy, infantry and police was present to pre-
serve order There was no attempt at dis
turbance, however. The morning opened
beautiful, but there were showers about the
time the execution took place.
Brady rose at o'clock. At $50 Canon
Kennedy, of St. James Church, and Father
OReilly administered the sacrament to the
condemned man. The three remained pray
ing until the arrival of the hangman. Brady
submitted quietly while his arms were being
pinioned, and walked slowly and unhinch-
ingly to the scaffod. The black flag, indi-
eating that the execution had taken place.
was hoisted over the prison at three minutes
past 8.
Almost Immediately after the flag was
raised, 2 hearse and coach with mourners
were seen at a distance coming in the drec-
tion of the prison. The police, however, in
terfered and prevented the vehicles from ap-
preaching. There had been reports circu-
lating that after the hanging of Brady his
friends would endeavor to excite the people
to demonstration by parading an empty
hearse through the city.
Brady was visited by his mother last even
ing. She was heard to exclaim: "Mind,
Joe, no statementl' Brady smiled and re-
piled; Don't be foolish; do you think 1 am
a fool?" 1t is stated that the mother threat
ened to disown her son if he gave the gov
ernment any information.
A wreath of flowers was received by Brady,
to which was attached a card bearing an ex-
preston of grief at his fate, from Irishmen
living at Liverpool. Brady made no state
ment to the Jail chaplain or to the governor
of the prison One of the last things he did
was to write letter to his mother He car
ried prayer-book in his hand to the scat
fold, and was thoroughly resigned and firm.
His body fell nine feet, and his death was in
stantaneous. Brady was dressed in the same
clothes he wore during his trial The num-
Der of persons in the crowd outside the Jail
is estimated to have reached 10000. The
throng is said to have been even greater
than any of those which collected when the
executions were public At the moment
the black flag was seen over the Jail cry
was raised of Hats off, and every head was
uncovered The crowd shortly afterwards
dispersed quietly.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was that
Brady's death was caused by rupture of
the spinal cord. A juryman stated that the
features of the dead man were slightly swol-
len and his eyes projected while his tongue
was half cut in two between his teeth

Origin of the storms.

KANSAS CITY, May 14.--From the meager
information received by telegraph to 3 p M.
there seems to have been a cyclone or de-
structive wind some 200 miles south Of here
which originated in the eastern Indian Ter
ritory, and passed northeast into southern
Missouri, spending most of its force at
Oronogo near Joplin. For the greater part
of the distance it seems to have passed high
above the earth, doing injury Mt only few
places.
The storm which swept this city started
about two miles southwest Of here and pass
ing northeast, came down again at Liberty
If it continued in the same direction, it
would pass in the vicinity of Macon, which
is over 100 miles farther on. So the storm re-
ported at the latter place may be a continual
ton of the one experienced here.

CARTHAGE, Mo-, May 14.-At7;4O yesterday
evening storm, which had been threatening
for hours, struck the city Of Oronozo, few
miles west of here, in the shape OF a cyclone,
and in a few minutes the town was entirely
destroyed, with the exception of a few
houses in the southeast part. Six persons
were killed and thirty three injured, many
seriously and perhaps fatally.
The storm was not SO disastrous to Webb
City as first reported Very few people were
hurt, and no one killed. A few houses were
unroofed, and some moved off their founda-
tions. Business signs were carried three
miles from the city by the wind,
Joplin and Carthage escaped with very lit
tie injury, but the storm passed up Spring
river valley, moving everything in its way,
killing and injuring people and stock. The
cyclone was about 200 yards wide and trav-
eled in an easterly direction.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.


The English Government and the Vatican
On Good Terms.
BosToN, May 1.-THE Globes London
special says 1T is announced that Lord
Eryington has been privately accredited as
the envoy of the English government to the
Vatican. This is the result of the conduct
OF certain of the Irish clergy who have taken
part in the political agitation. Lord Erring-
ton had at one time very nearly succeeded in
persuading the Pope to pronounce bull
forhidding the Irish clergy to interfere in
any way in politics. This was brought about
by his influence with Cardinals Jacobini and
Simeoni. Archbishop Croke however, sue
ceeded after several conferences with the
cardinals in avertng the bull, and the Pope
is now disposed to limit papal action to pri-
vate advice through the Irish prelates, coun-
selling them in general way to refrain from
all interference in political matters"

The Cattle Question in England.

LONDON, May 14.-An agricultural deputa-
tion mas asked Lord Carlingford to prohibit
the landing of foreign cattle from any coun-
try where there exists any contagious dis
ease Lord Carlingford refused to take any
action on the ground that such prohibition
would practically amount to the total exclu-
sion of live cattle. A memorial has been
sent to the government and to leading COM
mercial bodies, and the whole matter has
been referred to the privy council committee
on agriculture. Mr.. Chaplin will make a
motion bringing up the whole subject for
parliamentary discussion unless the govern
ment comedies the prohibition asked.

THE PARNELL MEMORIAL.
Lady Dixie Enters Vigorous Protest
Against Duping the People.

Against Duping the People.
LONDON, May 14-Lady Florence Dixie
writes to the Dundalk Examiner hotly-
worded protest against the Parnell memorial
"a proceeding bumiliating TO Ireland and
the Irish people. Is it not" she continues
"a farce, sin, cowardly shame, that while
famine is stalking throughout a portion of
the country, the greedy cry for more money
should again be raised? Not content with
refusing to account for 9155, 900 of public
money, the party of grasp and greed are
again appealing for gold, and the hat still
goes round. Many and many a shilling is
being cajoled out of the poor man. who if
allowed to follow his own will would not
contribute cent, and the indecent eager
ness with which whole parishes are forced to
subscribe is a disgrace to those who control
them. While | have life and breath left to
speak, | will not remain silent and behold a
people duped. l say that this eternal
shrek for money is not patriotism, that this
everlasting clamor for gold is not self-sacri-
flee. If a country is to be regenerated and
upraised, both patriotism and self-sacrifice
are needed, and something nobler than self
constituted beggars to lead the people,"

JOHN BRIGHT.
A Rumor that Fills English Society with
Amazement,

Rumor that Fills English Society with
Amusement.
London Correspondence New York Tribune
The very first question l was asked to-day
was whether it was really true that Mr.
Bright is going to marry his deceased wife's
sister. The rumor first reached me at dinner
on Thursday, and to-day it is widely spread
among what are called well-informed per-
sons. Radicals are greatly dismayed That
John Bright, toward the conclusion of a long
and honorable life, should elect to live in
what, by the law of England, is still held as
concubinage, is thought stupendous disas-
ter Should the alliance take place it will
put terrible weapon into the hands of the
Tories, who will not tail to point out that
Mr.. Bright has confirmed the motto of Com
munism and revolution-frst disobey the
law, and then get the law altered to condone
your disobedience This is keenly felt on the
other side, and there is terrible fiutter in
the Liberal dove-cote.
The late Mrs. Bright was an admirable
woman, full of character and intelligence,
and with considerable remains of beauty.
No hostess could be more charming than
suC Wio db HSI hOuSo dO OIle ASH, hOCIudle.
II was a little house, near the mill and on
the fringe of the moor, and was, in engrav-
ings and furniture, bourgeois of the Quaker
oourgeoisie. They dined at 1 o'clock, and
gave every friend who dropped over from
Manchester the best plain, sound and whole
some meal in England. Soup and fish, with
a leg of mutton, chickens and game, and
plenty of puddings and custards furnished
for their table. But their bourgeois Quaker
and teetotal character came out in the ab-
sence of all fermented liquor. There was
plenty of soda, seltzer and Apollinaris
The guest could take his choice of bins
and brands of the pure or sparkling element.
There was WHITEWATER, water everywhere,
but not a drop to drink" All this was Mrs.
Brights doing. She was determined total
abstainer, and held it needful that the rich
should testify their care for the poor by alb
staining from beer, wine or spirits in order
to set them a good example. Mr. Bright,
who was not averse to glass of whisky and
water at proper times and seasons, was not
allowed to drink a drop in his own house;
nor did | ever see him smoke there, as he
did elsewhere. As rule Mr.. Bright, when
he passes his evening from home, is not
anxious to go to bed. In fact, it is a stand
ing joke among his friends that his cigar
never goes out till two o'clock in the morn
ing. This may seem late to some people, but
not to anybody who has sat in the House of
Commons for any length of time.

THE FALSE PROPHET.
The Reported Victory of Hicks Pasha Greatly
Modified.

Modified.
CAIRO, May 14.-In spite of the brilliant
victory over the False Prophet Hicks Pasha
has retired to Khartoum. The fact is that
Hicks and the Prophet have not yet encoun-
tered each other. Kowa, where Hicks won
his victory, is east of the White Nile, while
the False Prophet himself with the main
body of his followers is at Bara, in country
west of the Nile, almost as far from Kowa as
Chicago is from New York. There is no
doubt that Hicks will eventually make short
work of the would-be Messiah of Islam, but
he has not done so yet and we should re-
member that the English officers with Hicks,
who send the news of their exploits to the
London papers, are like the parson in the
pulpit-nobojy can contradict them. Mean
while, it would be curious to her what the
False Prophet and his disciples have to say
about Hickss victory.

FATHER DAISENBERGxR.
Death of the Man Who Revised and Made
the Passion Play Presentable.

the PASSION Play Presentable.
MUNICH, May 14.-Geistlich Rath Dai-
senberger, priest and dramatic author, has
Just died at Ober- -Ammergau, in the eighty
fifth year of his age. In 1s45, after having
written many historical plays and biblical
dramas, while Benedictine Monk in the
Monastery at Ettal, he became greatly inter
ested in the passion Play" His biblical
drama of the Founding of the Monastery of
Ettal" embodied the romantic and miracu-
lous circumstances accompanying its build
ing by the German Emperor Ludwig in 1880.
These works attracted the attention of the
King, Ludwig the First, at time when the
passion Play" was much criticised and the
form of its presentation, as it had originally
been given centuries before, was to many
offensive. The King ordered Father Dasen-
berger, who in 1915 was spiritual director of
the village, to revise the whole play and
bring it more.ipto a condition which modern
sense would receive as reverend and re-
spectful. This he did successfully and the
