who shams the bad never boasts of it, while they
who ape the virtues of the good or simulate the

When these"people initiate they always choose %

DAYTON, April 27.-Shortly before o'clock
this afternoon, the most destructive cyclone ever
known in this part Of the country, passed over
the southern part of Montgomery and Greene
counties, devastating everything in it course. 1t
appears to have originated near Wood
burn, little town ten miles south of
here and an eyewitness describes it
as appalling in its fury. The cyclone was
formed by the union of two light storm
clouds from the south and northwest
which immediately assumed the form of water
spout, rising and descending like the waves of
the sea- and 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 immense cloud
of smoke, while everywhere its path was dark
with trees and the ruins of houses, Forests
were moved down like weeds, fences destroyed for
miles, and it is estimated that in this county
alone, at least twenty residences are in ruins, to
say nothing of the loss on other buildings, stock
and farm property.
At Alexandersville six miles south of here
several people are known to be injured, and one
lady is reported killed, while saw-mills barns
and other buildings are destroyed.
Telegraph lines are down in all directions and
the roads are impossible from the rains that
fell there
Near Woodburn, the residences and
other buildings belonging to Edward
Wheatley were destroyed with other property,
amounting in all to 5000 OO Two farm hands
are reported missing
Brick school-house No is destroyed the
roof was carried five hundred yards
Mr.. Harries house and barn were destroyed
One child was caught in the cyclone and car
ried 200 yards and dropped to the ground slightly
injured
Mr.. Mitchells house and barn were partly
ruined. Mr.. Ridenours property was bad
ly damaged. Abner Harris's barn and other build
ings were damages. The names of other losers
cannot be ascertained but considering the large
number of houses destroyed there must be
heavy loss of life.
In the neighborhood of Miamisburg there is
heavy damage.
In this city there was heavy rain and hail. but
no violent wind
One freak of the cyclone is that in Dayton.
and few miles south of it there was rain
and hail, while south of that point there was
rain and not hail; still further SOUTH hail and no
rain. and in sections Of the country devastated
neither rain nor hail
At Bedrock at least fifteen farm
houses are more or less damaged, but
the families generally escaped by taking refuge
in cellars
From Carrollton the cyclone took direct east
erly course and its force was not in the least
spent when it reached Jamestown thriving

and he was killed solely because he was Re

pages to tell the story of this atrocious political
massacre. and that it viii be well told any one
familiar with the methods Of Senator Hoar who
is drafting it. well knows. The evidence has
been printed An examination of it shows that
1t was very compactly put in form
by the examiners, and that in almost
every line the grave character of this
outrage appears. 'Prent' Matthews was the
foremost man in the community. He was a
man brave enough to be Union man during
the war and strong enough to be a Republican
afterwards. He was the wealthiest man of the
community. He built churches and school
houses, and helped the poor. He was waited
upon by $50 men armed with guns belonging to
the State and having in their possession a can
non belonging to the State, who told him that
it would be better for him not to vote the next
day. His answer was that they had the power
to kill him, but if he lived he should vote. He
did not live to VOTE but was shot as he was at
tempting to cast his ballot 1t has been sug-
gested by the Democrats that Matthews was
killed as the result of local broil. The answer
