THE OHIO CYCLONE.
The Damage More Than at First Ex-
pected at Jamestown.

XENIA, o., April 2S.-The scene at James
town this morning was even worse than ex
pected. Fully one-third of the town is in
ruins. The force OF the wind was terrific.
Houses not entirely demolished were torn in
two and lifted from their foundations. The
damage is estimated at from $3.50, 900 to
SOU, 900. The principal losses are
the Methodist church, 10000; Chris
tan church So, 200; fair ground
$4,000; A. l.. Wickersham, 5000; Eliza NJ.
Slowney, $4,000; Mrs. S. Adams, 81, 900;
lire engine, $4,000; Baptist church SO, 900;
Individual losses number 1876. In many
cases, their home and entire contents are all
gone, the furniture and bedding
being blown into the tree tops a
long distance from the houses. The damage
In the country is very great, but particulars
are not yet known. The roads are impass-
able In the direction OF the storm. Much
live stock was killed, and barnes, houses,
fences and trees were swept away. A meet
ing was held here tonight to organize relief
for the suffering.
JAMESTOWN, Ohio, April 2S.-The first
house struck by the cyclone Yesterday was
that Of the Rev. William Stewart. 1t was a
light frame, and was picked up by the wind,
carried fifty feet and dashed to pieces. Mrs.
Stewart was in the house, and it is thought
fatally injured. The city building was
blown over upon the bakery of
j. B.. Gefsler, crushing it, and burying
nine persons in the ruins. A few of them,
Al. Rayburn, Geo. Ballard, Elmare Johnson
and Ed. Wallace were seriously injured.
There are about thirty-ive or forty other per-
sons injured, though not seriously. Three
persons killed at Mr.. Jenkins house, were
in the act of entering the cellar, where others
Of the family had gone, when they were
caught against the wall by the moving frame
of the house, and crushed to
death. They were Miss jenkins,
Miss Jones, visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Jenkins and Miss Carpenter, who were
making a call when the storm came on.
HomerPaul was killed while running from
his fathers house.
Miss Bateler was killed by falling timbers.
The cyclone entered the town from the
west, following Main street, called on Acme
avenue, and was about 100 yards in width.
The debris from the houses are strewn for a
long distance east of the town.

The Wretched Homes of the London Poor
About four months ago a city missionary
in London published q pamphlet entitled
Outcast London. Probably no other mission
airy document ever created such a sensation
as this one. 1t called attention to the ter
rible wretchedness Of the homes Of the Lon
don poor. 1t has set the nation to thinking.
and studying upon remedies. The newspa-
pers, magazines, and the quarterlies contin-
ue to discuss the question. We CLEAN a few
facts from the Contemporary ReUieW. London
the richest city in the world, laying up in
store more than 500, 900, 900 per annum,
has $780, 900 inhabitants living in a condition
which Professor Huxlep declares to be in
ferior to that OF west African savages. 1t is
calculated that $40, 900, 900 would furnish
the sires and the buildings for furnishing
these m%ultitudes with decent homes. To an
American it is gratifying that the best exist
ing provision for the poor is the Peabody
buildings, provided for by the will of our
Boston banker, and housing some 10, 900
people.
An interesting statistical fact Is that rent
has risen Ia London in fifty-two years 107
per cent. per house, and 1873 per cent.
per inhabitant. The agony Of the
fact appears when we remember that rent
has doubled since Hood wrote the ''Song Of
the Shirt whereas the wages Of seamstress-
es nave not advanced at all. Another inter
esting statistical comparison is that rental
per inhabitant is considerably higher in Lon
don than in any other city in Europe. In
In London it is S43 per annum; in Paris
$50; in Glasgow, s2s; in Milan, 50. But we
must remember that half of Paris was rebuilt
under Napoleon III. at a cost of 1926, 000,-
GOO, and that 10 such work has been done
for London.

A WOMAN'S TERRIBLE CRIME.

| Made Desperate bg Losses 1T Monaco,
Ganning-ta5les, she Strangles her Child
To Death ind Cuts Her O,cn Throat.
A Late dispatch from Paris says: Monaco
has q ghastly sensation which promises to
make 1t a rival of Monte Carlo as a theatre
for sensational suscides of ruined gamesters.
The heroine Of this latest tragedy was a lady
of great beauty, distinguished manners and
aristocratlc bearing, who has for months oc-
cupied the Villa Clemintina. The mysteri-
Gus stranger preserved a strict incognitc,
being known only as ''the countess'' to the
few acquaintance she made, and even to
her servants, of whom she engaged quite a
retinue after her arrival at Monaco. Rumor,
however, credits her with being the wife of a
German nobleman who occupies a promin-
ent post at the imperial court, and it was
further whispered that her i~nfatuation for
the gaming table had led her to abandon
her husband andtske up her residence OF
Monaco. The countess was accompanied by
an infant daughter, aged about two years,
to whom she appeared much attached.
She wis a constant habituee at the Casino,
where played for tremendously high stakes,
and lately with a steady run of ill-luck. She
remained at the roulette table until a very
late hour last night and lost several thous
and francs, This morning the servants at
her villa found the countess lying in a pool
Of blood on the floor Of her bed chamber.
Still clutched in her hand was a razor, with
which she had cut her throat, causing almost
instantaneous death. On the bed, which
had not been occupied, was the body Of her
little child, strangled to death by its mother,
as was indicated by the finger marks on the
child's throat.
The theory is that the countess had ruined
herself by her passion for play, and, being
afraid to meet the reproaches Of her husband
had determined to end the disgrace by a
double crime. The officials at Monaco are
making every effort to conceal the facts and
have seized upon all the papers in the lady's
residence, so that it is impossible at present
to ASCERTAIN her real name and history.

TIMELY HINTS ABOUT LAWNS,
Hotc Old Laacns May be Renovated and Neu
Ones Started at This Season.
New York Evening Post.

Hoao Old Lalcns May be Renovated and Nelc
Ones Started at This Season.
New York Evening Post.
This is the season of the year when the
grass beginning to spring is often found to
be very tufted and irregular, parts of it be-
ing killed out by the winter or by being too
much covered with the top dressing given it
in the fall. The best way to renovate q
lawn in such condition Is to rake thoroughly
with a steel rake, so as to stir up all the poor
spots, then take sufficient grass seed and SOW
the seed moderately thick. Then rake it in
and beat the surface down with the back of
a spade, or roll it. All weeds that appear in
the lawn must be cut out. Thistles, plain
tain, and other perennial weeds are frequent
" very troublesome; The only way to get
rid of them is by cutting them out with a
knife a little below the surface Of the ground.
There is a mistaken idea that something may
be put on the lawn to kill the weeds; a little
reflection will show that anything that would
kill the weeds would also kill the grass. There
is no remedy but cutting out.
When a new lawn is to be formed one
of the first conditions is that it be perfect
ly ained-if not naturally, then artifcialIy-
in the usual manner. If the subsoil is sand
or gravel it is not likely to need drainage, as
then the water would pass off freely. It is
all important when a lawn is to be formed
that the ground should be carefully graded,
so that the surface is made perfectly smooth
for the lawn-mower.
The seed should be sown, after the ground
has been properly prepared, at the rate of
from three to five bushels to the acre and
either raked or narrowed in, after which the
surface should be rolled, so as to make it
firm and smooth. This is Indispensable, not
only for the termination of the seed, but
from the necessity of having the smooth
surface for the lawn mower. In this latti-

a General Belief That Some Of the

lCDtGlAA AN5A0 ~ 49, OAOHNs
WAsHJSGroY, April 2S.-The publication
made Yesterday relative to a change of front
in favor OF the Morrison tariff bill among the
Democratic members hitherto listed as oppos-
ing that measure led to considerable
gossip to-day. Though no one can be found
who is disposed to reveal just what individ-
uals have been converted, leading Republic
cans say they have good evidence that as the
time for the national convention grows near
er the Democrats show a more earnest dis
position to become solidifed. In the pros
pect OF qualification it is thought
to be quite natural that the high tariff minor
iy should go more than half way to
embrace the law tariff majority. 1t is not
doubted that pressure is being brought to
bear Upon the Democratic opponents OF the
Morrison bill by their immediate constltu-
ents to concede something in the interests
Of harmony,
Hon. WIN. D. Hill, of the Sixth Ohio dis
trict, has just returned from a visit at home.
When asked by one of his colleagues
how his constituents talked on
the source Of the opponents of the
tariff bill, Mr.. Hill replied that nearly every
Democrat with whom he talked condemned
Converse and others in sympathy with him,
and applauded the course on Hon. Frank
Hurd, whose only objection to the Morrison
bill is that it does not 20 far enough. An
other Ohio member states that he has seen
letters from Ohio manufacturers who
urge cooperation with Morrison. Most
prominent among those mentioned was Mr..
Bookwaltcr, who was the Democratic candi-
date for governor in opposition to Foster.
The fact that Bookwalter was easily defeated
by Foster does not seem to deter him, and
others like him, both manufacturers and
wool growers, from advising members to
bill. How far this feeling extends and
what its effects will be may be
developed within a few days. Republicans
appear to be rather pleased than otherwise
with the fresh speculation which suggests the
probable success of the bill, arguing that the
more conspicuous the movement
in this direction the more
certain the Republican cause will be.
Democrats are quoting with not a little salts
faction an incident which occurred at the
last dinner given by President Arthur. A
number of prominent Democrats were pres
ent, among them Mr.. Morrison. During
the evening the president expressed sym
pathy with the cause Of revenue reform
and with the Morrison bill.
This incident is related by an
authority which cannot be questioned. The
tariff debate will continue another week at
least, it is said. There are still on the speak
er's list the names of about fifty members
who want to make speeches, and about sixty
others viii ask leave to have their remarks
printed in the Congressional Record.

ATandem Team of Bicycles.
Charlotte Observer.

Our citizens were yesterday treated to a
new and novel wrinkle in bicycling, known
as the tandem cycle, amachine that was con-
structed by james Pharr who lives near Char
lotte and who is a machinist of considerable
reputation. The machine is simply two large
bicycle wheels connected together by an
iron backbone. 1t carries double aud can
be run with twice the swiftness of the ordin-
airy bicycle. Yesterday its first appearance
was made on our streets, with Thornwell
Gilmer on the front wheel and viii Pharr on
the rear wheel. The backbone connecting
the two wheels is piyoted, and though the
wheels are connected together they work in
dependently of each other. If the front man
strikes a rock or a rut, the rear man, by a
quick turn of the handle, can run around it.
It is certainly a novel continuance and the
thing shoots along like a streak Of light
ming.
