Terrible Tornado at Kansas City

KANSAS CITY was visited by terrible
cyclone on Tuesday, which carried death
and destruction in its path. At about
II O'Clock in the morning, the storm
clouds gathered, first appearing in the
northeast, and surging westwardly across
the city, turned suddenly about in their
course, and descending rapidly broke
upon the city in terrific bursts of wind
and rain. The darkness was almost like
night, and people fed to the nearest shell
ter and awaited the fury of the tempest.
Among the buildings wrecked was the
court house above the second story, the
cid water works building, aR extensive
overall factory, the LathrOp school build
ing, the sewer pipe factory SC, the total
damages to property amounting proba-
bly, to 100000.
But the loss of property is inconsider-
able when compared to the loss Of human
ife. The Lathrop school building was
crowded with children. many of whom
went nearly frantic with grief over the
appalling darkness and the stiffness
which preceded the tempest. The wind
seemed to concentrate its strength upon
the tower which fell, and together with
the large bell went crashing to the base.
ment. The falling floors precipitated
the terrified children to the basement
where they were crushed among the
bricks and timbers.
Already thirty bodies have been recov.

THE Dem )cratic statesmen of the Ohio
Senate, who planned and carried into
effect last week, a tour through JEFF
Davis country" and other foreign do
minions, in order that they might make
fraud aid forgery triumphant by defeat
ing the adoption of a resolution seating
the honestly elected senators from Gin
cinnati, have been caught in their own
trap. The wisest and most conservative
of the Democratic leaders, adjudge them
guilty of the most contemplate cow
ardice; and not only this,-they were
guilty of adopting revolutionary pCli>
cy, which threatened o bring the state
to the verge of bankruptcy, and to dis
credit her among the sister hood of states.
But before they had gone far on their
round of pleasure, at Chattanooga, they
received tie unwelcOme news, startling
and astonishing to them,-that the four
senators whe had been deprived of their
seats through The bostering up of frauds,
had been sworn in. and that there was
trausacting of the business of the Leg
islature.
The process 10y which the Republican
senators met the emergency was, in the
opinion of good parliamentarians. clearly
within the law. The point is that the
report and resolutions of the Committce e
on the Hamilton county election case
was not carried to the table by the ab-
sence of a quorum on Wednesday last !;
that it was still the special order when
the Senate adjourned and when it re-
convened, and Sd remained from day to
day until disposed of. Saturday morn
ing, the Republicans, taking advantage
of the absence of the single Democratic
senator whom the Democrats had left to
object to business because of the absence
of quorum, had the resolutions taken
up and passed by a viva voce vote,
whereupon the four Hamilton county
senators were sworn in, and the Repub.
licans are now in condition to go ahead
with the business of the state. regardless
of the absence of the fugitive Democrats.
There is nothing on the journal of the
Senate to show that there was less than
a quorum present, and no Court will go
behind the correctness of the record.

SENATOR FAIR MAKES somewhat
novel but meritorious proposition to the
secretary of the Interior. regarding the
disposition Of the troublesome Apache
Indians. He suggests that they should
be isolated and cut off from further op>
pertunity of doing harm by being quar-
tered on Santa Catalina Island, in the
Pacific Ocean. The island is % miles
southwest of Los Angeles, and too far
from the mainland to allow free inter-
course by means of ordinary boats. The
Government can acquire the land from its
present owners at a low price, the climate
is salubrious, and the island large enough
to comfortably domicile the whole tribe
This murderous tribe of Indians have
cost the Government large amounts OF
money and a vast amount of trouble;
tEeir warfare upon the whites has been
wantOn and cruel, and their slaughter
has been indiscriminate. 1t looks as
though the proposition of Senator Fair,
provided it can be carried out, will af+
ford the most humane and the cheapest
and best solution of the Apache prob
lem. This, or similar means must be
adopted, else extirpation.

UNIONTOWN.

MRS SARAH POLLOCK NICHOLS, wife of Mr..
Mahlon Nichols, of this vicinity, died at Flush
ing, Ohio, on the morning of the 9th inst, at
o'clock. Her health had been impaired for
some time, and she had left home for medical
treatment, and on Tuesday was taken danger
ously ill. Her death was sudden and uneIpect-
ed to many. Mr.. Walker, of Flusirg, furnished
the casket, and took charge of the funeral ar
rangements. She was brought home on the
same day, and funeral took place on the Friday
following at p. m. Rev. J. c. Scouller, pastor
of the church of which she was member, made
an affecting and impressive discourse on death
and the resurrection, and the large gathering
of people was an evidence of the love and
esteem for one whose mortal remains would
soon be laid in the grave to await the glorious
resurrection. The Easter flowers had not yet
withered upon the affairs when the loving hearts
of women came to place their floral offerings
in the cssket of a dear friend and sister.
Sweet fowers-they were pure and white as the
spirit of the departed In the right hand was
bunch of lilies of the valley; on the bosom a
wreath of dasies, while on the lide of the casket
was a floral cross, arranged by the ladies of
Flushing. On the lid, Also was plate bear
ing the inscription: "At Rest" As we cannot
paint lilly, so no word of eulogy which we
might write could add to the loving esteem in
which she was held by all. Pure, good and
true, from our bOyhood days, she was our friend
of friends, and with a sense Of irreparable loss
we can only say, Hail and farewell" Now
the friends and neighbOrs gather to take the
last, fond look; the casket is closed, and the
long funeral train moves sadly and slowly to
the cemetery at Unity. Those who loved her
follow to the very brink of the grave, when

The Senate of Ohio has not been re-
organized. 1t has been purged. After
resorting to dilatOry measures all session
and finally deserting their posts of duty,
the Democrats made the way of the Re
pubiicans easy. Ga Saturday the report
of the Republican section of the Cincin-
natl investigation was adopted by ,
unanimous viva voce vote seating Messrs
Hopple, Wilson. .Kuehnert and Brashears.
Thus ended the trouble in short m eter
and in manner most satisfactory to the
State. The right to demand call of the
Senate was not exercised. On the first
and second reading of bills, and in fact
during the transaction of all kinds of
business not demanding the yeas and
nays, such as the enactment of a law,
and there is often less than a majority
present and the record stands in all these
cases as it does in the procee lings of
Saturday. The deserters opened the
door for the Senator'S who were elected
to walk IN and take Jnelr seats. Wee
seems in this case to have its own re-
ward and made plain the way of the
just. The best legal counsel in the State
was taken, and it was not an act in
which the end justifies the means, but
one that is regular and for which there
are precrdents. The deserters had ren r
dered action necessary. The paper of
the State would have gone to protest this
week and the Legislature. whose officers
cost over two hundred dollars per day.
have been held without date and perhaps
uselessly. There never was greater
provocation for resort to extraordinary
proceedings, but the folly of those who
were defending fraud at last made the
solution as easy as the first lesson in the
kindergarten. There is now no longer
any trouble in Ohio. 20. S. Journal.
