THE ALABAMA CYCLONE.

The Track of the Blast Scene of Desola-
ton and observation-disclosures Swept Away,
Railroad Trains Overturned, Forests Lew
oied and Many Persons Killed or Injured.
EUFAULA, ALA, January a.
Sunday nights storm was almost unpre-
cedented in severity. 1t arose about nine
in the evening, and was accompanied by
vivid lightning and heavy peals of thun-
der. Hale, Perry, Bebb, Chiffon, Macon
and Green Counties all suffered great de-
struction Of property. The storm crossed
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad fifty
miles north Of Montgomery. Near Calera,
on the same road, a freight train was
blown off the track and ditched, the en-.
CINE oYerthrown and cars damaged con-
stderably, but fortunately no lives were
lost in the wreck. The cyclones path
vas half mile wide, and traces of de-
effectiveness are left on every side.
Three men were killed at the camp ground
In Macon County. Trees, fences and
houses were swept away like chaff.
Among the, debris of one house demol-
ished near Calera the body of aman was
found so terribly mangled as to render
recognition impossible. Another man,
name unknown, was killed near the
Cahaba River, in the western part of the
State.
Forests were laid waste, trees several
feet in diameter being torn to splinters.
Wherever the cyclone struck the
railroads the track was strewn with
trees, telegraph poles and wires. In
many places wagon travel is stopped.
Houses several miles from the path of
the storm were made to tremble as if
moved by the upheaval of an earthquake.
On several large plantations stock was
killed and houses RACED to the ground.
In Green County cotton bales were
blown hundreds of feet in the air, and
near Eutaw house was struck by light
ming and burned to the ground. The cy-
clones career was one of undated fury
and destruction. The people of Alabama
have suffered q loss of property to the
amount of hundreds OF thousands
of dollars, besides much loss of hu-
man life. Some three miles further
off two other residences were completely
blown away. In one of them were thir-
teen occupants, all Of whom received
more or less injury. Great damage is re-
ported to farm property generally, owing
to high water 1t is impossible to obtain
accurate information as to the full extent
of the damage caused by the cyclone, but
enough has been ascertained to report
that, while it was very disastrous, it was
not as severe as the storm which passed
through Cherokee and Calhoun Counties
last spring. During all of Monday and a
greater part of Monday night
HEAVY RAINS FELL,
flooding all the streams and low lands
and making it almost impossible to gain
further information. The heavy clouds
which accompanied the wind were seen
from this place. There was a continuous
roaring like distant thunder for some
thirty minutes before the wind passed.
One family became frightened before the
tempest approached, and ran to a neigh
boring house a short distance away,
which was blown away, while their own
house, from which they had fed, remained
standing. The track of the cyclone was
about 200 yards wide.

The Rich Broker Attempts to BulIdoze
Railroad Conductor.
NEW YORK, January Is.
James R. Keene, the grain operator, lives
on the Long Island Railroad. Last Mon
day morning he left his commutation
book at home. An imperative rule of the
company requires conductors to collect
full fares from any commuter who fails to
produce his book. Conductor Mahoney,
of the Rockaway line, demanded sixty
cents. Keene refused to pay, and the con-
ductor, rather than have any trouble with
him, withdrew the rebate check and con-
cluded to pay Keene's fare as far as
Jamaica, where his duties ended.
At Jamaica conductor Randall took the
train. Keene again refused to pay his
fare and was told that he would be put
off. He guessed not. Conductor Randall
signalled the engineer to stop. Keene
cIutched the conductorbY the throat. The
conductors fist was descending in the
direction of the brokers' face, when a
passenger caught his arm. Another
passenger pulled Keene away. A third
passenger paid Keene's fare, and the
conductor signalled the engineer to pro-
coed. The Company expected that Keene
would repeat the scene in the evening,
and had an officer ready to arrest him,
but he purchased his ticket and went
home peaceably.

when they learned of their impending fate

fort to save Bright, but to no purpose.
The Jury was out eight hours.

The ventilation of cellars is SUBJ
ject of great Importance, inasmuch as
the foul gases which arise from the de-
caying vegetable matter therein and are
allowed to pass to the rooms above are
very injurious to occupants. To pro-

ventilation, o pipe should be constructed
between the cellar and the chimney, the

placing small piece of the suspected

in stables for COWS the manure
gutter is usually parallel with the man

to lie partly over the gutter, the sharp
edge of which bears deeply and cruelty
