A Section Of Ohio Devastated by q
Cyclone, Many Persons
Perishing.
Washington Court House and BlOOming-
burg Almost Wiped Out OF
Existence.
Lspringfleld lohIol specinl.l ]


terrible cyclone struck Washington
Court House, city of 4,COO inhabitants,
twenty y-five miles from here, at 8 o'clock
this evening, and almost swept it from the
earth The storm came from the north
west, aud broke upon the town very sud-
denly, carrying everything before it, The
tornado whirled up Coart street, the main
business thoroughfare and ruined almost
every business block in it-at least forty or
fifty in all.
Hardly q private residence in the towa
escaped. fully four hundred buildings 60
ing down. The Baptist, Presbyterian,
and Catholic churches all suffered the csm-
mon fate. The Ohio Southern, Panhandle,
Narrow Gauge, and Midland Railroad sta
tions were blown to smithereens, and every
building in the vicinity was carried away,
making ingress or egress almost impos-
sible.
AS every wire within circle of two miles
is down, it is utterly impossible to get accu-
rate details of this catastrophe. The only
reports that can be had are through an OPP
orator who tapped wire two miles west of
the town, and is sitting in a heavy rain
storm to work his instruments. The panic
stricken people were taken completely un-
awares. and fed from the tumbling build
ings in every direction through the murky
darkness. A mad frenzy seemed to seize
them, and they hurried hither and thither
in their wild distraction, little knowing
whittier they were fleeing. After the whirl-
wind, which lasted about ten minutes, a
heavy rainfall set in, which still continues
undated at this writing.
AS soon as few of the cooler heads re-
covered their senses searching parties were
organized, and the sad work of looking for
the dead began. So far fifteen bodies
have been recovered from the debris of
various ruined buildings. 1t is probable
as many more will be found before morn
ing. The glimmer of lanterns procured
from farm houses in the vicinity and
from the few houses left standing is the
only light they have to work by. Two
or three bodies have been stumbled
upon in the middle of the street, where
they were stricken down by flying bricks
or timbers. The cellars of houses and
every sort of refuge were filed with shiv-
ering people. huddling together in the vain
attempt to keep warm. One baby in arms
has died from exposure.
Adyices from Bloomingburg say that town
was struck by funnel-shaped cloud and
almost entirely demolished. Three or four
persons were killed.

INDlANA'S SENSATION.
Certain Trustees Issue Illegal Town
ship Orders 20 the Extent OF
S100,O0O.
indianapolis telerram.I


The discovery that certain Township
Trustees of Daviess County this State, had
issued illegal township orders to the extent
of 500, 0C0 or more, and the N fed to Cana
da. ha; caused much exc tement in busi-
ness circles here, where many of the or
deis were disposed OF, and there is q
we'll founded belief that the swindle has
been extensively pmcticed in other parts
of the Sta'e. IL is already known that such
spurious obligations have been issued in
Posey, Foun ain. Vermillion, and Shelby
Counties and al the present time it is inn
possible 10 estimate their extent, although
1t is probably hundreds of thousands of
dollars
Investigation made to-day develops that
r. Il. Pollard, until recently resident of
Indianapolis, is at the head Of the scheme,
which was both original and daring. He
was agent of various school furnishing
houses in Chicago and elsewhere, and his
business was almost exclusively with town
ship trustees. With some of these he made
a conspiracy by which they were to issue to
him township orders in large amounts in
alleged payment for school-supplies, and
these he was to sell, dividing the proceeds
with them. AS he stood we'll financially,
having constant balance in bank of from
10000 to $4,000, and the orders bore on
he had comparatively little trouble in dis
posing of them, especially as he sold them
at from 10 to 10 per cent. discount, and
they bore 8 per cent. interest. They were
sold principally to Eastern capitalists, al
though Pollard disposed of $4,360 worth
of them TO diamond and jewelry house,
said to be Coon & Co., of Cincinnati, for
diamonds, and $4,000 to d. Van Wee, Of
this city, besides unknown amounts to the
Third National Bank Of Greensburg, and
other national banks ut North Vernon. In
addition to this he paid for a large consign-
ment of school furniture to Chicago
house with them, receiving his commission
for them in cash. He and his family left
here last week, ostensibly for Boston, but
recent advices say that he is at Linn. Ont.
There is q rumor, which cannot be traced
down to definite sources, that before leav-
ing he borrowed $4,000 in cash from a
city bank, putting up $50, 900 OF these ille-
gal orders as collateral security. The
swindle is the most extensive one known
in the history of the State, and its full ex-

Treatment of Scarlet Fewer.

DR.. A. w. Jackson, of Brooklyn,
calls attention to the treatment of
scarlatina first brought prominently
into notice by DIR. Peart, of England.
This consists in the administration of
from three to seven grains of carbonate
of ammonia every hour for tho first
day and then at longer intervals. Pur-
gatives are to be avoided during the
early stages of the disease. The writer
states that he has had occasion to test
this mode Of treatment, and can in
dorse it heartily. In addition he EN-,
ploys tho fluid extract Of eucalyptus
internally and as q gargle. When there
is much exudation a mixture OF carbol-
ic acid and iodine in glycerine is
painted over the parts. In too rapid
recession of the rash DIR. Jackson APP
plies cloths dipped in thick mustard
water, or wraps the child in blankets

Finally Alights on His Head.
New Haven Conn special.
A curious incident occurred while serv-
ices were being held in the Congregational
Church in East Haven, village FIVE miles
from this city, yesterday. As the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Clark, gave out his text dove,
which had made its way into the church
unperceived, flew down from its perch in
the gallery and alighted on the large Bible
from which the minister was reading. The
bird remained near the pulpit during the
rest of the service, and at its close fiuttered
to the pastors head. IL was afterward
discovered that the bird belonged to q
small boy, and for some reason or other
followed its owner to the church. The
preachers text was, Il saw the spirit de-
scendng from above like dove and IL
rested upon Him."

The Public Printers Measures to Pre-
vent It's Premature Publication.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Speculations
as to the purport of the Presidents mes
sage are freely INDUCED in, though the
gossip which has got into print concern
ing 1t is founded on mere guess work. The
message IS not yet in even memorandum
form. and IS not complete until the proof
has been revised and corrected, and this
is usually done the Saturday or sunday
before the meeting OF Congress. To get
possession OF an advance copy Of a mes
age used 10 call out the ingenuity and
financial resources Of the newspaper cor
respondents. Under Public Printer
Rounds. however, there is no such cOmpe-
tition, the extraordinary care taken by
him cutting OF all possibilities of its cap
ture. A large-sized Marvin safe has been
added 10 the office. and a sight Of its mas
sive doors and quadrupled bolts of steel
would deter the most skilltul and accom-
plIshed newspaper burglar.
Since the Rounds administration no
document has got out prematurely from
the government printing office, and the
additional precautions recently adopted
appear superfiuous. When public con-
nd nual JOB is on press the paper for
that job is counted and must be re-
turned. the spoiled sheets with the rest.
Formerly the first impressions were sim
ply crumped and thrown into a waste
basket, like any other job. Now the
waste sheets are carefully preserved and
returned, tho foreman of printing having
them cut into little bits. In the case Of
the message the matter is set. proofs are
taken and corrected under the personal
supervision Of the public printer and his
foreman, Mr.. Brian. the galeys are
locked in the safe and the revised proof
usually taken under seal to the White
House by Mr.. Brian or his chief in per-
son. The Presidents secretary brings
the proofs back on sunday preceding the
meeting Of Congress, and the requisite
copies, say dozen, are struck off under
his eye, the waste destroyed, and the
gallies again locked up in the safe until
after the message has been read to Con-
