DEATH and DISASTER
Immense Amount Of Property De.
stroysd
And Many Persons Supposed to
Have Perishsd.
The Details Msagre But Full of
Horror.

DAYTON, o., April 27.-Shortly before S
o'clock this afternoon the moot destructive
cyclone ever known in this part of the
country passed oyeEas Che aoRthera,
part 'oft -1fcnteomefy and Green coun.
ties, devastating everything in its
course. Tt rPpears to have origins
ted near Woodburn, q town near here, ami
eye witnesses describe it as appalling in
its fury. An authentic statement is that
the cyclone was formed by
union of light storm clouds
from the South aud Northwest which
Immediately assumed the form Of water
spout, rising and descending like waves of
the sea, and destroying everything in its
way. Mr.. f. Best of this city, who was
near enough to observe, says that it was
fully one-eighth of a mile wide and
moved about the country in an i'm
meuse cloud. Everywhere its path
is dark with trees and the remains of
houses. Forests were moved down like
weeds and it is estimated that in this
county twenty residences are in ruins.
At Alexsndersville, six miles south
Of here several people are known
to be injured, and one lady is reported
killed, while the sswmill Of s. Barnes ssd
other buildings are destroyed. At Car
rollton Friends paper mill and other
buildings are badly damaged, while q
number of residences are reported d.
stroyed. Telegraph wires are down in
all directions. The roads are impossible
from the ruins that fell on them. Near
Woodburn residences and other buildings
belonging to Ed. Whestly were destroyed,
with other property, amounting to $50
eco. Two farm hands are reported mis-
ing. A brick school house, No. 8,
is destroyed and the roof carried fiys hln-
dred yards. Mr.. Mitchelrs house and
barn partly ruined. Mr.. RedenouI's prop
erty is badly damaged. Abner Harris
barn and ether buildings are destroyed.
The names of other losers can
not be ascertsined, but considering
the large number OF houses destroyed there
must be heavy loss of life. In the neigh
borhood Of Unionsburg there is heavy dam
sge. In this city there was heavy rain and
hsil but little wind. One freak of the
cyclone is that in Dayton and few
miles south Of it there was rain and hail,
while still south of it there was rain and
no hail, still further hail and no rain. and
IN the section Of country devastated neith'
er rain nor hail.

Hoar to ask consideration Of the bill IN re-

Mormon bill, as soon as the shipping bill
is disposed of. Matters OF general legisla-
tion will probably be displaced for a day
or two during the week by the Indian ap.

agricultural bill or pension bill may be
reported in season for action before the end

BRIeNoLPs LAST HOURS.

Death of the Celebrated Tenor, Sig. Pas
quiniino Brignoli-Almost Unattended,IIe
Passes Over to the Great Beyond--A Brief
Sketch Of His Life.
NEW YORK, 0ctober31
Brignoli, the renowned tenor and genial
man of the world died last evening at four
o'clock at the Everett House. OF the
countless friends and acquaintances who
greeted him in public, but two were at his
bedside-Dr. Carnochan, his physician,
and J. Meyer, young pupil. Brignoli
had been i'll two months, but the direct
cause Of his death was hcmorrhagc OF
the liver. lie had, however, been afflicted
with kidney troubles, and after singing in
Duluth August 18th, he was feeling i'll,
and by the advice of physician came
to New York, where he appeared to grow
stronger, and week after his arrival was
engaged with his pupil, Meyer, in writing
new music. He also signed to perform
in San Francisco for six weeks. Three
weeks since he had another sharp attack
of illness. He grew weaker, and Il few
days ago his voice began to fail him and
he began to despair. He frequently asked
for brandy, saying 1t was the only thing
that would restore his voice. When DR..
Carnochan entered the apartment to-day
he noticed bad change in his condition.
Meyer secured the services of one of the
hotel employees to sit up all night
with the invalid and was about to depart,
when Brignolia beckoned him back and
whispered, "if you leave me I'll die.n
Meyer placed his hand on the forehead
of the sick man, and as he did so Brignoli
drew long breath and closed his eyes.
The physician watched him a few mo-
ments and felt his pulse. 1t was beating
feebly, and in short time stopped. A
few visitors called during the evening
and gazed upon the features OF the dead
tenor. A cable dispatch was sent to
Paris, where brother and sister of Brig
noli dwell, asking them what disposition
they desired to be made Of the body.
Brimoli was born in Naples about fif-
ty-seven years since. His father was a
manufacturer of gloves, but discovering
that his son was gifted with an unusually
beautiful voice, he decided upon giving
him a musical education. He effected
his first appearance in the United States
in 1866. In his palmy days his voice
reached easily to fiat, and its sweet and
| silvery timbre and the facility with which
| it came from his throat reminded one of
Mario at his best. Of late years, OF
course, his organ had lost both compass
| and resonance, but in simple ballads II
still had power to enthrall the listener.
As man he was liked by those who knew
him well. He married Miss Isabelse Nc
Culloch, Southern songstTess, who died
three Or tow years2 2go..

BRooKLYN, n, ~, october 31
An inquest was held this morning OF
the body Of the boy Michael Byrnc, aged
eighteen, who was stabbed and killed on
Monday by Chauncey 81. Martin, thirteen
years Of age. Ryrnc, who was in the
habit Of bulldozing smaller boys, seemed
TO make set on young st. Martin, and
frequently, under threats, compelled him
to give him money. On Monday night
the boys gathered about bonfire when
Byrne approached st. Martin and de-
mandcd cent from him. lie said he
couldn't give it to him, and Byrne took
hold of him and tried TO throw him in the
fire. The hoy got away and started
home. Byrne followed and kicked him
nearly all the way.
The principal witness this morning was
Willie Cortland, who saw the whole pro-
ceeding. He testified that st. Martin ran
upon His stoop and tried to get in the
house; that he got the door open and was
half way iu when Bymc put his foot inside
so he could not close it. Then ST. Martin
turned and made blow at him with his
knife. Byrne started down the stoop and
fen at the bottom, whore some OF the
boys picked him up and started with him
to his home,
The jury found that the boy st. Martin
acted in self defense, and the Coroner dis
charged him.
