TORNADO CHARTS.

We have received from the Signal Office
at Washington, series Of four prelimina-
ry tornado charts of the cyclone of Februa-
nv 10Th. Chart No. gives the observations
at o'clock in the morning, at which time
tracks of the tornado were disclosed in Mis-
sippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri and
Kentucky. At that hour washington
time) the barometer in Charleston was 5000,
and at Charlotte 1910; the temperature 64'
and so respectively. At Charleston the
weather was "fair," anda Charlotte "clear." ."
Wind light at both points. The chart OF
observation at P. NJ. confines the cyclone
track almost entirely to Georgia, where the
storm centre seems to be located. At this
time the sweep of air between the northerly
and southerly winds displayed great con-
trasts of temperature, almost certain pre-
cursers of tornadoes; and while the main
storm centre was progressing northward, the
centre of the tornado disturbance was NOV
ing in an opposite direction. From
O'Clock P. NJ. until sundoWn, the barometer
at Charleston was 5000 and at Charlotte
2995; thermometer 720 and 650 respectively
and weather cloudy at both points. AT
Charleston the velocity of the wind was 81
miles an hour, and at Charlotte 80. Chart
No. 3 gives the observations taken at II
o'clock at night, at which time the storm
had swept through Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia. The des-
tructive force of the storm had reached its
maximum in Georgia from to 8 P. NJ; in
South Carolina and North Carolina from
to Ill and in Virginia about midnight.
The barometrical pressure at Charlotte
the nearest signal station to Yorkville-was
29. SO, the thermometer $50, and the velocity
of the wind IA miles per hour, with light
rain. Here it rained in torrents from P.
M. until 8, with high but not destructive
wind. Chart No. combines and general
ICES the data of the three preceding ones,
giving the area of the storm track from its
source in eastern Mississippi to Lynchburg,
Va, where its fury was spent.
On chart No. the following statement is
made, which having the air of official infor-
nation, invests the subject with impor-
tance "Rough estimates place the loss of
property at between S3,000,00O and S4,O00,-
600. The loss of life is estimated at 1000
and the wounded at more than double that
number. The homeless and destitute peo-
pie are reported to number from $4,000 to
1000, many of whom are in starving con-
dition. The number of buildings destroyed
are said to reach aboutl0,00O. Cattle, horses,
hogs and other domestic animals were de-
stroyed in great numbers"
These charts are preliminary works, and
are issued to meet an urgent demand for
general information concerning the remark
able storm of February 10Th. Further in
vestigation, based upon more extended and
trustworthy reports, will probably effect
some changes in the charts now presented.
The Signal Service has been prompt in issu-
ing these charts, which are creditable to the
officers of that branch, and if no other charts
shall be published hereafter, those already
issued will be valuable for reference.

Kings Mountain township, was committed to
Jail on the charge Of assault with intent to Kill.

intentions.

THE FOARD KNOX REWARD.

1t was announced last week that Governor
Thompson had offered a reward of $3.50 for the
apprehension of Foard Knox, the murderer of
Constable Durant, near Fort Mill, in this county,
few weeks ago. After the Governor had decid-
ed to increase the rewerd to the above amount,
he received information that the killing was sup
posed to have occurred in North Caroina-about
fifty yards beyond the line-Mr. Durant being in
pursuit of Knox wnen he received the fatal shot.
AS the authority of the Governor to offer re-
ward was contingent upon the State in which the
homicide was committed, he requested Solicitor
CASTOR to ascertain and report to him in which
State it occurred. Mr.. CASTOR has made the nee
essary investigation, and reports that the murder
was committed in North Carolina, few yards
over the State line. This being the fact, the
Governor cannot, under the law, offer reward
for the caDture of Knox

conclude that the prevailing styles of hats
will be large and high crowns, though all sizes
and shapes are shown. Flowers, feathers, wings,
aigrettcs and ribbons will predominant as trim
mings. Ribbons are a tritle wider than last
season. Gilt ribbons will be fashionable, and in
coors of hats and trimmings the following are
given as the leading shades: Black, white, cream,
light blue, medium blue, marine, navy pink,
cherry scarlet, Cardinal, garnet, beige, Leghorn,
browns, myrtle, sapphire, lilac, drab, champlg-
non, vert de gris coquelicot and tan. Golden
brown is one Of tho incest colors shown. At one
house we visited, fruit and vegetables were spo-
ken of as likely to be worn to some extent as
ornaments TO head gear; but another milliner
ridiculed the idea, and said that such trimmings
would never be popular
For the benefit of our lady readers we have
been the rounds Of the YOrkville millinery
stores and it is with pride that we note the fact
Of finding three as fine establishments in our
town as we have above imperfectly described !;
and we say in all sincerity that ladies out of
town can do no better this side Of Baltimore
than to visit our market for their spring out
fits of millinery goods. Our merchants have
all the Styles have skillful milliners, with all
the requisite facilities for producing stylish and
fashionable work at prices that cannot be met
elsewhere.
A cynical friend at our elbow says there are
two important events in the life of woman: the
first when she gets new spring bonnet, and the
second when she gets husband. Without en-
dorsing all of this sentiment, we would say that
a husband can generally be had for the asking,
while the hat must be bought. In the outset OF
this article we have thrown out valuable hint
to the married ladies us to how to proceed in the
buving of new Spring hat.

A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch says that
the statement recently published that Gen
eral Sherman was strongly inclined toward
the Democratic party, and that he might
decline a Presidential nomination from the
Republicans and accept the same if tender
ed by the Democratic party, is not at all
surprising to those who have been on the
closest terms of personal intimacy with the
retired General of the army.

II LYNCHING IN GAsTON.
The negro prisoner, Erwin McCully confined
in The Jail of CASTOR county, N. c.. at Dallas for
the murder of Mr.. Thomas II. Wilson, on the
23rd ultimo, full account Of which we publish
ed last week, was taken from the Jail by party
of men at about o'clock last Tuesday morning
and hanged.
The particulars of the affair as we learn them,
are TO the effect that at about l o'clock on the
morning named, band Of men numbering
about 80 or 40, called upon the Sheriff at the
iail. and upon the appearance of that officer he
was seized by number Of the party and ad-
mouished to be quiet, and he would meet with
no harm. They told the Sheriff he had prison.

had none for them; but needless of the Sheriff s
remonstance q number Of the MEN rushed into
the Jail and forcibly took McCully from his cell,
and conveying him to Hollands bridge about
one mile and a half from town, hanged him to
a tree where his dead body was found suspend
ed early Tuesday morning. The feeling against
McCully was very strong at the time of his ar
rest, and we are informed that only adroit man
agement on the part of the officers prevented
him from being lynched before he was commit

A DYNAMITE Scare.

LONDON, January 25.-Considerab1e ac-
tivity prevailed in police circles yesterday
over information received at the Home
Office to the effect that several hundred
pounds of dynamite, purchased from the
subscriptions to the O'Donnell Vengeance
Fund, is being distributed in small quanti-
ties throughout London, and that prepara-
tions are being made for a simultaneous
explosion at a number of important points.
in the city. A large force of detectives
was on duty to-day patrolling the streets,
and affiliating with the customs of public
houses patronized by Irish Nationalists.
The public buildings have been thoroughly
scrutinized in search of suspicious looking
articles, and a large force of police has
been detailed to guard the buildings. One
citizen aiding the arrest, was shot twice
by the murderer, who also attempted to
explode a bomb to kill himself and his cap
tors. Block was recently arrested as one
of the suspected assassins of Police Com
missary Klubeck. Several arrests have
been made in connection with that crime,
including Schaffhausen, leading socialist
workman, and William and Joseph Till,
brothers.

Fire at Xenia, O.

XENIA, o., January 26.-A fire was dis
covered in the cellar of j. S. Monroe's fur
niture store at five O'Clock this morning.
Two engines responded to the alarm,
though one was delayed some time by
balky team. For while the fire
seemed under control, but soon the water
ran out, and the engines had to be moved
to other cisterns. While this was being
done the flames took new start,
and soon the whole store was on fire
and communicated to the adjoining
buildings occupied by Eli Arnold, grocer,
and Montague's drugstore, which were
consumed. The Democrat Netus office,
over one of the stores, was. burned out en-
tirely, only the subscription books and
ledger being saved. The building ownedl
by the Flemings caught fire on the roof. It
was occupied by Wolfe & Peterson, hard
ware, and A. Sowards, pianos and organs,
on the first floor. The Shawnee
Preserving Co., Esquire Neville, and
the Republican office occupied the second
floor. The Knights of Pythias had their
hall on the third floor. The building was
well drenched. Wolf & Peterson's stock
was badly injured. The printers in the
town carried out all the stock of the Repttb-
licdR office except the machinery. The en-
tire loss is estimated at $4,000. Partly
