AT CLAY CITY

Seven Persons Killed and Many Injured
Damage to Property in the Town.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUrE, May 29-On Monday even
ing, about o'clock, Clay City, little town
in the southwest corner of Clay county, was
visited by tornado, details of which did not
reach this city until to-day, there being no
telegraphic communication with that part of
the country. The storm did its first damage
at Meals Mills, near the Clay county line,
where bridge across Eel river was blown
over. Several men had taken refuge from the
storm in the bridge, and of these Joseph
Seeley and man named Kay were killed in
stantly. The others received severe, but not
fatal injuries.
The cyclone took path about quarter of
mile wide, and pursued direct eastern
course. 1t did not strike Clay City fairly, but
took off the roof of the bank building East
the little town, it again struck the
earth and tore through the woods, breaking
off and uprooting trees in its path. Five
miles east of Clay City the farmhouse of
John Croft was torn to pieces and five out of
the nine inmates were killed These were
John Croft, George. Herson, young child,
Mrs. Williams, Of Lancaster, and her child,
who were visiting the Croft house.
The hurricane lasted about five minutes,
and while it prevailed the darkness was like
night, The roar of the wind was deafening,
and, added to this, the lightning and crash
of falling trees made scene of terror never
before witnessed in that region. The storm
passed on in Its destructive course and loss
of life is reported all along its route, but
further particulars are not obtainable.

simply destructive wind. The storm came

and some struck by lightning and burned,
fences, gardens, crops and houses wrecked

The Wisconsin Mills.

MILWAUKEE, May 29-The furnaces at
Bayview rolling-mills will be fired up on the
morning of June 1, but it is not expected
they will go to work, as the company has
given no answer to the men who submitted
the scale of wages last week, and they will
not work till they know on what terms they
are to be engaged for the coming season.
The company will not agree to pay bi-weekly,
which is asked by the men, and for that
reason, there is doubt whether any tempor-
ary scale can be fixed, which might keep the
mills open for time at least until matters
are settled at Pittsburg.
