About 5 O'Clock a heavy black cloud came
from the north. Two clouds met near
the house of Lewis Cochran, two miles
from Oakville, lifted it bodily and tearing
it into kindling wood deposited it two
miles and a half. A minute later it
struck Oakville carrying death and de-
struction in its track. OF the thirty houses
in Oakville all but three were torn to
atoms. Five persons were killed outright
and the sixth died this morning. Of the
large number injured fifty are reported
wounded. The large warehouse and saw
mill adjoining the town are in ruins and
the scene lisa chaos of rubbish of whose
ownership it is impossible to tell. Anna

Butler and the Presidency.

NEW York, April "a prominent
labor reformer, w. \. A. Carsy, says that
he has positive information that General
Butler has signiied a willingness to ac-
cept the -greenback-labor nomination fer
president Following a clue thus OBJ
tanned it was found hat on Butler last
visit to New York he was in close confer
ence with leading agitators, chief among
whom was IN ex-congressman of Iowa.
President McLogan, of the confederation
of trades assemblies, of Chicago F.. G.
Thurber, president of the anti-monopoly
league, and Hopkins, proprietor of the
Sentry, a greenback paper. The question
was squarely put to Butler whether he
would refuse the nomination for president
if made by the greenbackers and Endorsed
by the antl-monopolists and labor re-
formers. His reply was favorable. 1t
seems that since the United States su-
preme court decision on the greenback
legal tenders in the case in which he was
interested as attorney he has believed that
an issue might be made on the currency,
especially if combined with other reforms
which he believes are demanded by the
people. The greenback convention, which
meets at Indianapolis, April IS, is ex-
pected to lead off the Butler movement.
The anti-monopolists, at Philadelphia,
May IA, will endorse its action. Then Il o
labor party, which has a convention July
80, ut Chicago, is expected to fall into
line, and the thing will be done. An eff
fort will be made to have the democrats
also nominate Butler, but he will make
the race any way that he gets the chance.
1t seems to be generally conceded that he
can have the nomination. The only ques-
ton heretofore has been whether he would
accept and stand on the platform.

Details of the Cyclone.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The daily Netos,
of Muncie, Ind, gives the. following ad-
ditional details of the Oakville cyclone:
In the path of the storm, for FIVE miles
east and west of the village, the damage
is equally great. Every farmhouse passed
over was made a perfect wreck, barns,
houses, orchards and forests being blown
down and fences levelled to the ground.
Everything presents a scene of d~esolation.
On the farm of james Sanders, four
miles east of Middletown, his barn and
house were completely destroyed. San
ders, who is n merchant in the town, but
who was out at the place at the time and
had taken refuge in the barn, was in
stantly killed. At the town of Murray, a
family of eight persons had the house
blown to splinters and the father, William
Lines, killed outright. The others were
uninjured. W. Frank, a painter, four
miles west of Oakville, while out on his
farm. was caught by the storm and in
stantly killed. The following were
killed: Mrs. Anna Dearmond, a widow
aged so; Susan Hiles, aged Is. When
discovered, she was almost in a nude con-
dition, her clothing being literally blown
from her person. 4 babe of G. John
son was found in a field, one hun
dred and fifty yards from where the
house stood, with its head crushed and a
baby of Charles Brown was injured.
Turner johnson, a boy of IL years, a son
of c. c. johnson, was blown twenty
rods, had his skull crushed and will prob
ably die. Nancy Meyers, 60 years old,
had an arm broken. Lemmie Meyers,
aged Is, had an arm broken. John
Huffman and wife were badly bruised in
the head and otherwise injured. JEFF
Hoover, engineer at the sawmill, had a

~ternally and will probably die. JEFF
Miller suffered a dislocation of the hip
and Mrs. JEFF Miller was badly bruised.
Fred Coldstock, had three ribs broken,
Widow Homer, a bad cut in the shoulder,
and fifteen others more or less injured.
The armory house smashed was hat of
John Sullivan, in which were himself,
wife and six children, the youngest, a
babe of two weeks old. Most miracuously,
nonc of the family were injured in the
least. The baby was found in bed, COW
cred with debris, but unhurt.

WASHINGTON, April Authorization
has been received at the headquarters of
the army from the United States consul
general at Matamoras, concerning the
Apaches in northern Mexico and that
little Charlie McComas was killed by his
captors. From the talks with the Apache
squaws at chihuahua, recently captured
by the Mexicans, there can be but little
doubt of it. Ju, it is said, is still alive
and with about twenty bucks, is not over
one hundred miles north of Chihuahua.
1t is reported in that country that if
General Crook had supplies enough in
his Mexican campaign to have remained
in the mountains a fortnight longer, Ju
and every Apache in these mountains
would have come in. General Crook was
compelled to move too soon on account of
the large number of squaws and children.

The farm house of Philip Wolf, three
miles east of here was completely demol-
ished. The family were wedged in the
ruins but were rescued with slight injuries.
There were a considerable amount of stock
killed. No estimate of the damages can
be made as the distant parts Of the coun-
try have not been heard from. The d.
rection Of the storm is northeast and ex-
tensiye in range. Near Jerseyville twelve
barns and four houses were destroyed and
three persons badly hurt.

Revolutionary Expedition.

WASHINGTON, April Authorization
originating with the Spanish consul at
Key West, was received by Secretary
Folger, Saturday evening, to the effect
that a Cuban revolutionary expedition
was being organized at Key West by A.
Aguory, and that he has collected 100
well trained men and stores of explosives
and the expedition will depart from our
shores at an early day. Orders were
thereupon telegraphed to ~commodores of
the revenue cutters Governor Dix, at Key
West, and the George S. Boutwell,, at
Savannah, to prevent any such violation
of law. The Governor Dix, however, had
left Key West on Saturday, for Cedar
Keys, and the message to her commodore
reached him only on Monday when he ar
rived at Cedar Keys. The Governor Dix
her started back Immediately and moth
ing has been heard since from her at the
department but no doubt is entertained
that she started in pursuit of the fllibus-
tering expedition.
