A CYCLONE in OHIO.
Great Destruction of Property and Fear.
full Loss of Life Feared.

A Dayton (Ohio) special of the 9th
says: Shortly before five O'Clock this after
noon the most destructive cyclone ever
known in this part of the country, passed
over the southern portion OF Montgomery
and Green counties, devastating everything
In its course. 1t appears to have originated
near Woodb1ne. An eye witness describes
1t as appalling In its fury. An authentic
statement is that the cyclone was formed by
a union Of two light storm clouds from the
south and southwest, which Immediately
assumed the form Of q waterspout, rising
and descending like the waves of the sea,
destroying everything In its way. Mr..
E. Best, of this city, who was near
enough to observe accurately, says that it
was fully one-eighth of a mile wide and
moved about over the country like an i'm
lnense cloud ofrsmoke, while everywhere
in its path was dark with trees and houses.
Forests were moved down. Near Mar
shalltown the residence and other buildings
belonging to Edward Wheatley were de-
stroyed with other property amounting to
$1,000. Two farm hands are reported
missing. Buren, school house No. 8 is de-
stroyed and roof carried over five hundred
yards. Mr.. Harness house and barn were
destroyed. One child was caught up in the
cyclone and carried two hundred yards and
dropped to the earth, slightly injured. Mr..
Mitchell's house and barn are party ruined.

At Bell Brook, Green county, at least fifteen
farm houses are more or less damaged,
but the families generally escaped by TAX

the cyclone took the direct essterly course,
its force was not in the least spent
it reached Jamestown, a thriving vii
lage Of 900 inhabitants which is reported
destroyed with only a few build
ings standing. Meagre telegraph reports
; ate that four people are known to be
killed, while twenty are more or less in
Iured. Among others the residence of Mr..
Wickersham was lifted from its foundation
carried quite a distance. Owing to
,he sparse settlement Of the country and
he blockaded roads, accurate details cam
lot be obtained, but with such loss of
property that of life must be terrible.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette's
Jamestown special says: A terrible cy-
lone struck jamestown about five O'Clock
his afternoon. Two-thirds of the town is
ompletely ruined, and six persons killed,
Iamely: Miss Stella Jones, aged 10, of
lsculopia Springs, KY; Mrs. Anna Car

to engage in such practices. 1t is not
womanly pastime, to say the least, and
ought, 1 think, to afford grounds for
divorce. 1t makes the woman hard and
coarse, destroys her beauty, and turns
a happy, handsome creature into an
ugly pest, for gambling is sure to be-
come a monomania with them, and
they can talk nothing else. know of
the wife of a prominent merchant who
got so badly 'left' that she pawned her
diamonds for $500, not long ago, and
would have lost them but for her hus-
band, who found it ouJ at the last mo-
ment and redeemed them. Then he
got a gun and went around to see the
broker. The latter, however, happen
ed to be out, or there might have been
bloodshed. So, as l said before, |
don't want any of it in mine"

A RED HOT
Lively Times in the Organization of a

When the time came for calling the
territorial convention, at Huron Dakota,
to order on the 23d, there was a Wild scene
of confusion. K. w. Caldwell, from South
Dakota, and Major Edwards, Of North Da-
kota, each attempted to capture tie tempo
rary organization for their respective fac
lions. 40 Scoby was nominated by the
North Dakota faction and j H. King by
the southern crowd. Both were declared
elected and both took the char. Both
chairmen called upon their respective chap
lains for a prayer, but the clergyman that
started first was allowed to hold tie floor.
A call of counties was then resored to to
settle the temporary chairman contest,
which resulted in favor Of South Dakota.
Committees were then appointed and the
convention took a recess 10 cool of

Quincy Adams, Charles r. Goldman and
some 100 others have Issued a call for a
meeting at Boston, April Goth, to form 3
league. The call says: ''The present
enormous surplus in the mtional revenue
is demoralizing and danserous; that it
should be cut down without further delay,
not by increasing the pubic expenditure,
but by lessening the burden Of taxation;
that this burden should be removed from
the necessaries OF life and rot from whisky
and tobacco, and that the policy Of taking
imports, not for the purpost Of raising rev.
