The natural resources Of the
South are sttikingly illustrated by
the figures Of the increased coal
output from the Alabama mines as
shown in The report Of the State
goologist sent into the Legislature
a few days ago. 1t is only fifteen
years since the beginning Of the
coal mining industry in Alabama.
In 1880 the total annual output
had reached S22,9S4 tons. This
had been increased in 1885 10 q.
225, 900 tons, six.sevonts Of which
came from what is known % the
Warrior coal field, comprising an
area two,thirds as large as the coal
area of Great Britain. That the
coal deposits Of Alabama have only
been sampled at a few points 10
apparent if the estimates Of the
State geologist Of the resources Of
this single field are to be relied on.
He claims that there are 100000.
100000 tons Of available coal Of ex.
ccllent quality in this deposit
alone, the value Of which is vastly
increased by It's proximity to vast
deposits Of iron ore. -Baltimoe Sun.

Echoes From the Cyclone.

ST.. PAUL, MIMI, April 15.-The reports
of the cyclone at st. Cloud, Sauk Rapids,
Rice Station and other points in the vicini-
ty last night and early this morning were
not exaggerated. At o'clock this morn
ing, in the places named, there were forty
nine dead and nearly two hundred injured
with many still missing, whose bodies will
probably be recovered to-day. Just enough
houses are left in Sauk Rapids to form a
fringe around the village limits. The de-
bris is not piled in heaps, but scattered far
and wide. The sign "Sauk Rapids in the
Manitoba Depot, and basketful of books
were found in Rice Station, fifteen miles
distant This shows the terrible power OF
the storm. No reports have yet been re.
ceived from outlaying districts, where it is
believed great destruction of property and
loss of life have been wrought. The storm
extended from jamestown, OAK, through
Minnesota, and into Wisconsin, though its
most disastrous effects are to be found in
the three places first named.

TelephOnin9 From Trains.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Cornelius Spillane,
of this city, has invented device for tele-
phoning between moving trains and rail-
road stations. The invention is an ex-
tremely simple affair, consisting of cir
cult wire resting on an insulated slab be-
tween the railway tracks. On this wire
rests circuit rod, made of strip of
metal, having attached to it a movable
metal roller, making continuous connec-
tion with all stations and all trains on the
line OF the route. The return circuit is
gained by means of a rail, wheel and axle
and through the framework of the engi-
neer's cab to the telephone. The wire
runs through the train, connecting all the
cars, SO that conversation can be kept up
from all parts Of the train to all stations
on the road and between all other trains
on the line.

NEW York, April 1e.-when VIM. q.
Vanderbilt gave e5OO,00O to the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons, October II, 1884,
he had an exceedingly clear and practical
idea Of what should be done to mako New
York the medical center of this country
and put It on an equal in point of facilities
with institutions Of Europe. A part only
Of his plan was developed in his life

lege were restricted to the purchase of
20 lots in Tenth avenue. These
tost $500 900. The remaining 100000 was

yet he at times let his plans be known in

Sloane, one Of the daughters, gave to the
college handsome gifts Of money, to be

ing Of the board Of trustees, Thursday
evening, it was announced that Cornelius,
VIM. K, Fred. W. and George, the sons Of
m. H., naO oeclded, II tne trustceS Wouiu
consent, to put up q building on the
corner opposite to where the Maternity Is
being erected. to be known as the Wander

purpose. It is needless to say that the
trustees promptly gave their consent to
have this building put up. As the title to
the land is vested in the trustees it was
necessary to secure their formal consent.
According to the plan proposed, q building
is to be put up at q cost of $4,000. The re-
manning 100000 is to be invested as an en-.
dowment fund in the hands Of suitable
trustees, and the income, it is expected d,

this building, the college having nothing
to do with it. When 1t is completed and
equipped it will be turned over to the col

To retain the best and brightest effects
of the plumage of some birds skinning

DEATH AT THE FEAST.
Ten Persons at Wedding Party Killed by
the Cyclone.

RICE STATION, MINI, April 16.-The fatal
ending of the wedding party. near this vii
lagc forms one of the saddest features Of
the Wholesale destruction Of life and prop

A SWATH OF DEATH.
Minnesota and Iowa Receive an Awful
Visitation.
|, Several Towns and villages Partially or
Wholly Destroyed ny q Tornado,
and the Demons Track Strewed
with Dead and Dying,

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 4-St. Cloud and
Sauk Rapids were swept by terribly de-
structive tornado about 80 O'Clock this
afternoon. 1t is believed that at least forty
persons have been killed and about seven.
ty-five wounded at st. Cloud, but it is i'm
possible to get much information as yet.
All rs excitement, and the streets are filled
with excited men and frightened women
and children. The disaster is certainly ap-
palling. The storm struck between the
round-house and the freight depot, and
swept path six hundred yards wide
through the city, leveling be-
tween one hundred and fifty and
two hundred houses. N. H. Clark, q well
known lumberman. who lives in St. Cloud,
says ninety persons were killed in that city
and more than q hundred injured, many
very seriously. Superintendent Wakeman,
of the Manitoba road, says that between
thirty and forty persons were killed at Sauk
Rapids, a small town on the Manitoba and
Northern Pacific roads, a few miles south
east of st. Cloud, and nearly double that
number injured. The telegraph wires
northwest of this city are all down, and no
news direct from either st. Cloud or Sauk
Rapids has been received since o'clock.
The tornado crossed the Mississippi at
the Sauk Rapids wagon bridge,
which it demolished. It here widened
to six hundred feet, and leveled
Stanton's grist-mill. From there It swept
through the center of the town, taking the
best of the business portion, including the
courthouse, hotel, public school and every
important business building in town ex-
cept Woods store. The village is virtually
wiped out, four-fifths of the buildings in it
being leveled. The fatalities in st. Cloud,
though great, are not equal in numbers to
those in Sauk Rapids. In every house
most all the inmates were more or less
hurt From Sauk Rapids the storm went
to Rices Station, Benton County, demol-
ishipg the village and killing or injuring
the entire population.
CHICAGO, April 15.-The Inter. Ocea MS
Council Bluffs special says: "a tornado
struck the town of Coon Rapids this after
noon, and laid the town in ruins. Tele-
graph wires are all down, and no particu-
lars are obtainable.
CHICAGO, April 14.-The Inter- Oceans
Extra Ia.) special says: A tornado struck
Extra and the country south of here to-day,
about 4 O'Clock, wrecking the home Of Mr..
William Blutner, late First Assistant Door,
keeper of the Iowa Senate and a school,
house near him. The storm then took a
northeasterly direction, and wrecked the
homes of Milt Donnell, Mr.. Reynolds,
Virginia Smith, James Patterson and
Nicholas Martis in its track.

A New ENGLAND paper suepests tba

A New ENGLAND paper suggests that
the women of America should erect a
statue of General Spinner. He first,
against great opposition and prejudice,
opened the way of Government employ
ment to women, by giving them places
in the United States Treasury, and now
1000 women are employed in the Gov
ernment service. A statue representing
General Spinner's signature would be a
unique affair, but might be suspected of
being Chinese imperial dragon on
roller skates.
