The Damage in shelby County.

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, May 13.-The storm
which passed over this city last night did
considerable damage in this vicinity. The
damage in town was confined principally to
the loss of shade trees and fruit
trees. The roof of the new furni-
ture factory was raised six inches for fifty
feet in one end and lett that way. The
heaviest losers are H. B. Cole and DR.. c. A.
Robinson, both in the north part of the
county. The former had his carriage barn
demolished, along with its contents, and his
windmill blown down. His loss is esti-
mated at $500 to 81, 500. DR.. Robinson, who
raises fine chickens, had his hem
merry demolished and timber
blown down, damaging him $1,000.
John Hamilton Abe Miller and John En-
erich had their barns deroofed, and scores of
others had their fences blown down and out
buildings damaged. The storm was accom-
panied by heavy hail, which broke out
great deal of glass at Manila, twelve miles
east.

The Cyclone in Wayne County.
Special to the Sentinel.

RICHMOND, Ind, May ia cyclone
passed over the southeastern portion of this
county last evening, doing great damage.
Many farm houses and barns were blown
down. The track of the cyclone about
half mile wide, and the woods in its track
were entirely leveled. No lives were lost, but
several injured. At this city the rain was
the hardest ever known, although not accom-
panied with winds. About eighty feet of
the Panhandle track, east of the city, was
swept Away by the bursting of the dam at
Glen Miller

roofing and breaking down trees, overturn-
ing outhouses, stripping shingles from ex-
posed corners of roofs. The Kramer corner
was unroofed, the wind catching under the
tin and turning it up and tapping it over on
an sdjoiniDg block. The rooms were flooded
with water damaging the goods only to
small extent, it being occupied as grocery
store.
Reports from the county extend i've miles
southwest. A frame barn belonging to Lee
Needham was unroofed, so also barn OF
Mike Hampton. The barns of Nathan Mills
and David Armstrong were blown down. A
fine large square frame dwelling belonging
10 John Miller was wrecked, it being un-
rooted and twisted so as to greatly damage
the whole structure, also his Darn was de-
molished; fencing and timber were thrown
about in a wreckless manner.
Mr.. + Jacques had covered wagon stand
ing in his yard which was picked up by the
storm, and as it was being lifted it caught
under the roof of a shed tearing the shingles
off with apparent ease. The wagon was car
ried quite distance, and when it fell was
demolished. No persons killed injured
have been reported at this writing. The
damage has been variously estimated, but
probably the five mile track of the storm
would approximate many thousands of dol
ars.
Persons who saw the storm coming describe
it as a small, white, funnel-shaped cloud,
moving with great rapidity, and which
seemed to grasp everything in its path with
a giant grip, twisting off trees and every
thing in its path as if they were mere straws.
1t was accompanied with great roaring,
and the air seemed filed with light debris,
mostly shingles, signs and other easily de-
tached materials Many of our people
sought refuge in their cellars. Some did not
realize what was going on until it had gone
by, the violence of the wind not lasting more
than two to three minutes.
Later.-Word comes that Darlington, ten
miles west of here, has suffered greatly from
the effects of the tornado.

leg broken and is hurt internally. A num-
Der of others were slightly hurt, but not
seriously. 1t is not known that any one
was upon the bridge when it went down,
but we can hardly hope that there was
not, for it was at the hour that many
countrymen from the west side of the
river would be going home. 1t will be
impossible to get all the facts concerning
this disaster for day or two.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Democrats of
the Eighth Virginia Congressional District,
which is now represented by the venerable
John :. Barbour, are somewhat exercised
over the announcement that Corlandt Smith,
ex-Msyor of Alexandria, has determined to
become an independent candidate for Con-
gress. Mr.. Smith says he can get the nomi-
nation from his party. but to this he objects,
assigning as reason Il 1t he does not wish to
be hampered by party restrictions and reso-
lutions. His platform, he says, lis to be IN
opposition 10 the policy of the President,
believing Mr.. Cleveland to be other than a
Democrat, and not in accord with his party"
Mr.. Smith says he can be elected upon this
issue"
There may be method in his madness
growing out of the fact that he was not

THE Chicago Inter OeeaA, in speak ing of the present railroad strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad, very sensibly says:
 The railway strike was nominally undertaken Tn the interest of the Ia. boring men. So far it has thrown thousands of laboring men out of em. ployment who have no connection with the strike. IL has suspended business on the roads, and in this way has caused the suspension ef busin. ss in many large manufacturing establish. ments. The brunt ot battle is being borne by men who have not the re- motest connection with the railway troubles. If the strike continues and business is paralyzed, the poorer peo. pie will be the sufferers. And what will have been accomplished at the endp If Mir. Powderly is correctly reported his anvice against lll;conSid. cred strikes and indiscrlminate boy co,ting is the best thing that has been said. The labor organizations Can certainly afford to act upon advice that comes from their own order.

GLADSTONE never appeared as great as he does to-day, on the eve of bring. ing in his measure to give Ireland self government. His success seems a matter of doubt.

II he wlns, the proudest laurels human being ever wore will rest upon lis head the benisons of a race redeemed from political suhjection. If he fails, hs he will go down with the record of a splendid effort to heal a feud which has lasted for ages. But there can be no such word as fail in such holy cause. Should he be defeated now il will only postpohe the consummation of his plans,. but as he has passed three score years and ten, otheS hands may have to complete his work.
