SELMA, Ala, Nov. 9.-On Friday night
last one OF the most terrific and destructive
storms ever known in this State passed
over this section Of the country, just
north Of this city. washing away bridges,
railroad beds. growing crops and dwelling
fosests and houses for miles. The cyclone
was accompanied by torrents OF rain and
Cohsba, passed through Dallas. Perry and
Bibb counties. leaving a dead waste forests,
plantations, houses and villas. Exploring
relief parties say the track OF the cyclone
was half Q mile wide. They have gone
over 40 miles, picking rp the dead and
wounded, and don't know how much
longer the track Is. Thirteen persons have
been found killed outright, and 40 or so
dangerously wounded. A number Of per-
sons cannot be accounted for. Bales OF
cotton were blown from ginhouses and
bursted and scattered everywhere. A man
driving with cotton to the city Is lost.
The cotton and wagon were found Q quar-
ter Of Q mile distant, and the man and
mules were carried off and cannot be
found. The growing crops Of potatoes,
etc., are torn up from the ground. Even
the trees and cotton and stalks are barked.
Relief parties are searching for the dead
and dying everywhere. Everything is
being done to relieve the destitute negroes,
who are frightened nearly TO death and
huddle together or squat alone. unclad,
in the brushes and under fallen trees,
stupeied and epeechless with fear and
superstition, unable to tell where any OF
their household is. The city is being can
vassed for money subscriptions to bury
the dead and relieve the wants Of the des-
titute.

under Tom C~handler's training for three
weeks past, and Joe Lannon. Of South

In face blows ut Killen, whose head was
out OF his reach. and who countered on
Lannon's neck and face, winding him
badly by bsckhanders across the throat.
Up to this time Lannon had the better of
the fighting and was fast and furious. The
men showed signs Of exhaustion, and only
y chance blow could decide the contest. and

eighth round. There was considerable CON-
fusion. when Davies claimed q knockout
for Killen. and at various times when
Donaldson. of Minneapolis, would break
into the ring and make some foolish claim.
