thai city about AS p NJ to-day. The storm
came from the northwest and sweeping
around its half circle, razed the town, level
ing halfof it and setting fire to the remain
der. High above the fierce wind could be
heard the cracking of flames and the gsoans
OF the dying. Tee Western Union Office was
destroyed and all the wires broken except
one leading to this city. Assistance was tel
egrapted for to Evansville and special
train with fire engines and reels, also num-
Der of physicians. was Immediately sent to
the rescue. The entire town of Mt. Vernon
is practically destroyed
The lafes, reports from the scene Of the

$50 people are injured. Owing to the absence
of telegraphic facilities il is impossible at
this hour TO obtain the names of any of the
killed and wounded Relief trains will be
sent from this city and St Louis as soon as
possible. The same storm is reported as de-
yastating portions of the State of Kentucky,
near Norionville, but no particulars are at
hand.
Before the tornado began it had been thun
dering and raining for some time, when sud
denly low rumbling noise was heard A
black, dense cloud that seemed to touch the
earth swept over the city and it became very
dark
Hundreds of houses were wrecked and
people were crushedi in the ruins. The south
and east parts of the square are completely
destroyed The large building known as the
Crows block was demolished. The Metho-
dist Episcopal Church is almost mass of
ruins The Baptist Church is also wreck.
The public school building is razed TO the
ground.

in about two-thirds of the cast end, the wes-
tern portion of the town escaping. The bus
iness part of the town is completely ruined
The place looks as an earthquake had visited
il. The county court honse is one of the
most complete wrecks.
As write the fire is dying out after a
stubborn conflict to extinguish it.
Ali OF the largest and best buildings seem
to have suffered most. The Commercial ho-
tel is completely ruined, but none of the
guests were injured.

mated at from $4,000 to si,00009o. II is
not known what damage has been sustained
in the country.
East Main street, for a quarter of a mile

as can be ascertained, this is the case all over
the city from near the centre to the East
End.

II should be simple in its mechanism; it
should run easily; it should do a wide
range or work; it should be as nearly
noisless as possible; it should be light,
handsome, durable, and as cheap as il
consistent with excellence throughout.
These conditions the Light Running
New Home" certainly meets. 1t has also
several very important and useful attach
ments and "notions" of its own, which
60 far to make good its claims to popular
favor.
The New Home" specially recon.
mends itself to purchasers on account oi
it's superior mechanical construction, ease
of management and reasonable price.
Over half a million have been sold in the
last three years, all OF which are giving
universal satisfaction. This unrivailed
machine is manufactured by the NEW
HOME SEWING MACHINE CO, of Or.
ange, Mass. and 2S Union Square, New
