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

A Dayton (Ohio) special of the 27th
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 WOodbine. An eye witness describes
it as appalling in its fury. An authentic
statement is that the cy clone was formed by
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 0ne-eighth of mile wide and
moved about over the country like an i'm
mense cloud of smoke, 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
1900. 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.
Mr.. Rideman's property is badly damaged.
At Bell Brook, Green county, at least fifteen
farm houses are more or less damaged,
but the families generally escaped by TAX
ing refuge in the cellars From Carrollton,
the cyclone took the direct easterly course,
and its force was not In the least spent
when 1t reached jamestown, thriving viii
lage of 900 Inhabitants which is reported
entirely destroyed with only few build
ings standing. Meagre telegraph reports
g ate that four people are known to be
killed, while twenty are more or less in
jured. Among others the residence of Mr..
Wickersham was lifted from its foundation
and carried quite distance. Owing to
the sparse settlement of the country and
the blockaded roads, accurate details can
not be obtained, but with such loss of
property that of life must be terrible.
Near Xenia there was considerable de-
struction. The soldiers and sailors home
was badly damaged.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette's
Jamestown special says: A terrible cy-
clone struck jamestown about five O'Clock
this afternoon. Two-thirds of the town Is
completely ruined, and six persons killed,
namely: Miss Stella Jones, aged Is, of
Esculopia Springs, KY; Mrs. Anna Car
penter; Letitia Jenkins, daughter of G. K.
Jenkins; Miss Kate Bolebsr, Mrs. Stewart,
a colOred woman; and son of James Pow.
ell. Several were badly wounded, and
hundreds of people are turned out Of their
homes.

CREDIT MOBILIER.
Ames' Answer to the Petition of the Un.
ion Pacific.

The answer of Oliver Ames to the
petition of the Union Pacific railway COM
pany, asking that the order by which Ames
was made receiver of the Credit Mobilier be
recinded, and that citizen Of that state be
appointed in his stead, has been filed in
Philadelphia. The respondent admits that
the petitioners, as alleged, is the successor
of the Union Pacific railway company, and
says that whether said company has been
served with q process, or has ever appeared
in suit, are matters which are apparent,
but denies the right of the petitioner
to be heard without first entering its
appearance, for the reason that the Union
Pacific company is named as the party of
the defendant. He declares that there has
been fraudulent combination among the
officers OF the Credit Mobilier to cause the
abandonment of the suit pending In Massa-
chusetts. He denies that the Credit Mo-
bilier is insolvent, and says that when he
has recovered his just dues from the petit
toner he shall be able to pay its debts and
divide considerable sum of money among
the stockholders. He asks the court to re-
quire the petitioner to appear in court, and
to compel the delivery to the respondent
of the books and papers Of the Credit Mo-
hitler.

Organizing 10 Reduce Taxation.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., John
Quincy Adams, Charles r. Goldman and
some 700 others have issued a call for a
meeting at Boston, April Goth. to form a
league. The call says: "The present
enormous surplus in the national revenue
is demoralizing and dangerous; that it
should be cut down without further delay,
not by increasing the public expenditure,
but by lessening the burden of taxation !;
that this burden should be removed from
the necessaries of life and not from whisky
and tobacco, and that the policy of taking
imports, not for the purpose Of raising rev.
enue, but obstructing trade, is unsound
and must ultimai civ he ahandOned."

A RED HOT MEETING.
Lively Times In the Organization of a
Territorial Convention.

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

The New Gold Fields.

A gentleman of high integrity, just
arrived at Denver from The new Golden
Valley mining district, pronounces the new
discovery very important one. He brings
affidavits of the most reputable citizens in
the district as to the numerous assays Of
ore secured in the various localities of the
district, averaging about forty ounces Of
gold to the ton. Numbers are daily leav-
ing the camp, denouncing it as the worst
mining fraud ever perpetrated. Notwith-
standing this the best known authorities
declare fraud impossible, and claim that
the new district will develop into one Of
the most important in the country, many
reports to the contrary notwithstanding.

"What is the cause of this illumina-

of the waiter at hotel in German
town. "Her royal highness, the grand
duchess, has just become the mother of
a grand ducal infant" s'Is that SOP"
responded the Englishman, taking out
his note book. 81 must make a note of
that. So, in Germany, whenever the
city is illuminated, the grand duchess
becomes the mother of a grand ducal
infant.''

is it true, as often reported in agri.
