Lieut.. Colwell, first officer of the Bear,
said: 81 wrapped the bodies Of the dead
up, and then sailors removed them to the
launch. l did not notice any sign of mu-
tilation."
Lieut.. Colweu did, however, say that he
had heard rumOrs about the Greely sur
yivOrs having eaten the bodies of their
comrades. He would not say where he
heard them, or what he thought of them.
Among the sailors of the Bear and Thetis
there is an air of mystery, and all sorts
of stories are aflOat, but their statements
are conflicting, and it is hard to learn
what they know or what they think.
George Gavell, Captain Of the 'tOp" of
the Thetis. is a most inte ligent young sea-
man, and he tells very straightforward
story. He says: Il dug 10 of the dead
bodies up. They were only covered with
a thin layer of sand. saw nothing about
shem that suggested cannibahsm. The
bodies lay on the deck 10 DAYS. and we all
saw them. The German who is reported
to have said, Must be killed and eaten
as Henry wasp did not make any such re-
mark.

Hunfsyiiie's Haunted House.

There stands on Holmes street in
the Western part of the city, a well
appointed, roomy cottage, though
bearing the ear-marks of time, hav-
ing been built many years ago in the
early days of the city. There is about
it mysterious appearance. Its doors
and shutters are closed and remain
closed from year to year. Nobody
crosses its threshold and loneliness,
perfect quietness claims it as its own,
save, it is said, when the spirits that
preside over it pass with weird noises
over its deserted halls and reces ses at
midnight hours on their tours Of in
spection, or of what ! Every village
has its haunted house they say, and
this is ours.

Academy.
American Silk Culture.


The pioneer effort to establish the Silk
Culture among the colored citizens OF the
United States is now represented i'll this
city by Sam r Lowery ESQ. of Hunts
vile, Alo., who is associated with a num-
ber of his race in establishing an Industrial
School, in which are taught all the ele-
ments OF an English education. They
opened the school in the year 1876, and
made their first exhibit of silk raw spun
and silk cocoons, and have awarded to
their silk culturist. Miss Ruth M. Lowery
two silver premiums, and since, they have
successfully advanced. At the Southern
Exposition they were awarded the first
prize on their silk cocoons and raw silk by
the unanimous decision of the judges. The
school has increased from forty to one hum
dred and twenty pupils. They have secur.
ed piece Of land, and desire to put up a
comfortable school building adequate to
the puapose; also furnish it to carry on the
school and industries designed. He pro.
poses to lecture and appeal to the humane
and benevolent of every creed and class to
aid the work which promises to aid the
neglected, ignorant and poor OF his race
and section. In his work he has the good
will and endorsement of every class. To
parties who wish to advance them by in
estment, they have issued bonds series
ga" and ''B, the former twenty five doll
lars, the latter ten dollurs, payable in ten
years, of 81 900 each. Their sale at sixty
per cent will enable them to realize capi-
tai needed, and the reduced rate of sale
Will be dollars to investors. While in
Louisville we saw the Lowery exhibit in the
exposition, and also read the many complis
mentary notices in the Industrial Journal.
We hope that our people throughout the
city will give Mr.. Lowery what substantial
support possible, and get their friends of
means to do likewise, for it is a laudable
enterprise deserving of aid, and of which
our race should be proud. lO)

The Storm Elsewhere.

The Storm Elsewhere.
The Chattanooga Times gives the
following account of the storm at 9th
er points:
ga terrific cyclone, leaving death
and destruction in its path, passed
through Norta Alabama and North
Georgia Tuesday night about 10 o.
clock. Much Of the country is miles
from a railroad, and only meagre de-
tails can be learned, but enough il
known to characterize it as the most
destructive storm that has prevailed
in this country in years The storm
commenced in the neighborhood of
Collinsville, Ala, and passed in a
North -easterly direction, sweeping up
Wills Valley, and then crossing Look
out Mountaio. It passed off into
North Georgia, and near Tilton left
the earth. The width was less than
800 yards. but its force was terrific.
The wind seemed to be formed into
numberless whirlwinds, each whirl-
ing within itself, with roar like
thunder, and 1t moved over the earth
with lightning. like rapidity. Trees
were uprooted and whirled hundreds
of feet, and the path followed by the
storm was cleared as wheat before
the sYcthe. The swath was precise
and we'll defined, and the strip it
made is a scene of ruin and desola- |
ton. The house Of Hon. Clayton
Tatum. of Dade county, Ga. brother
of the State Senator, was demolished. |
He received fatal injuries. bis child |
was instantly. killed, and his wife and |
had both legs broken.
The house of John Crowley, in the
same vicinity. was also demolished |
and the entire family killed. A lady |
and her daughter, living near Collins
vile, were killed. 1t is reported that
the cyclone swept along the crest Of
Sand Mountain, Georgia, before it |
reached the valley, and every house
in its path was whirled like cork on
the sea and many OF the inmate, sill
ed. The fatal accident caused Oh he
Alabama Great Southern Railroad by
the storm is narrated in another col
umn.
In Indiana.
MUNCIE. IND, April "A cyclone
struck this county at about oclock
yesterday afternoon, wiping Oakvllle,
seven miles South Of here, On the Ft.
Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville rail
road, entirely out Of existence. and
doing great damage to life and prop
erty. At about o'clock a heavy
black cloud came from the West aud
another from the North. The clouds
met at the house Of Tivss Cochrane,
two miles West OF Oakville, lifted it
from the foundation, tore 1t into kind
ling wood and deposited it distance
of two and a half miles. A minute
later it struck Oakville, and, of the
thirty houses in the town all but three
were torn down.
Four persons we're killed outright
in Oakville and the fifth died this
morning. James Sanders, two miles
west, was niso killed, making six in
all killed Fifty are reported woun-
ded. A large warehouse and saw
mill oijuining are in ruins, and the

track was destroyed.

the soft snow.
While workmen were engaged in
shoveling snow from the May Lundy
tramway last week snow slide
occurred which made it very lively for
the boys. One man lost his coat and
was himself rushed about forty feet
down the mountain.
Johnny Landy. who worked in the
Hyena tunnel, Lake Canon, all Winter,
and had to sink shafts and dig upraises
through the snow to get down and up

this week, for the first time in six
months and returned to the May
Lundy mine TO work.
The Virginia Greek hydraulic works
were started up on Sunday morning
last, under head of 400 inches of
water. As yet the upper portion of
the ditch is still buried under deep
snow, but it is expected that this will
soon turn loose flood of water suffi-
cicnt to crowd the giants to their full
capacity and leave large surplus for
ground sluicing.
The Gorilla is employing quite a
number of men on repairs and prepar-
atory work, besides those engaged ON
contract work in the mine. The COM
pany's reduction works have been
running during the week on large
pile of ore that was left over when the
ice put Winter.halter on the water
last Autumn. The works are also
being put in order for the reception of
the new mill.
The Bryant is being steadily worked,
aud it is now reported that Superin
tendent James Mcdonald, who went TO
Hawthorne last Saturday TO consult
with Hon. Pat. Reddy, one of the
largest owners in the mine, extended
his "trip to San Francisco to see about
getting a sill. Meantime the 2-stamp
min in Lake Canon will be employed
on Bryant ore, of which there is a
large quantity, and of high grade, In
sight OF the 130-foot level.
