STRUCK BY A CYCLONE.
W.T.. VERNON, ILL., DESTROYED
BY FIRE.
Many People KILLED and Injured
Scenes Amid the Ruius--Great Suf'
fering ThrOushou the TO"n-De
tails.

A special dispatch from Mt. Vernon, ILL.,,
Feb. II, says: About B o'clock this afternoon
a cyclone struck this town anil left il in
ruins, killed fifteen TO twenty people, and it
is feared many more than are now known to
have been killed will be found among the
ruins of the buildings. Fire Immediately
broke ont all over the city amid the ruins,
spreading rapidly owing to the damage
done to tie engines by tho wind. The storm
passe from the southwest AMI hal u rotary
motion. 1t swept down with fearful fury,
striking first just south of the city hail. then
carried away the third aud fourth stories of
tie Mt Vernon mill From there it swept
on in path 500 yards wide. Tho Methodist
church fell just few minutes
before 2j0 people Lad left the Sunday school
room. The Commercial hotel lost its third
story. Next the wind struck the county
court house, AMI rendered it d heap Of ruins.
The Crew lock OH the south side of the
square is 'evelled with the earth, and under
it was found the Ody Of John Crew, the
owner of the block, formerly of Chicago.
The roof and second story of r. J.. Stratton
& Co.'S hardware store was blown away.
The large two-story brick schOolhouse did
not withstand the terrible shock any better
than the smallest house in the track of the
cyclone. The large two-story frame
house of George Ward was picked up and
carried about twenty feet and left unhurt,
while two brick buildings in 100 feet were
wrecked Not les than $500,0J0 worth of
property has been destroyed by the cyclone
and fire in that neighborhood. Reports are
coming in from the country, AMI the storm
seems to have swept everything for miles.
Incalculable loss of life and great suffering
will follow unless outside assistance is given.
A meeting of business men was held and
committees appointed to care for the dead
and wounded, and protect the property as
much as possible. Many people who cs-
capped with their lives have nothing besides.
Many are walking the streets with no home
to go to. The wounded are being cared for
by the physicians in the test possible
manner The dead and dying are scat
tered throughout the city. Three -fourths of
the business portion Of the city is ruined
financially. The public square is in the
centre of the town, tho court house in the
centre of the square, the school building is in
the northeast corner of the citv, and all the
dwellings in that portion of the city are
destroyed, and the ruins of some are still
burning. In all 500 buildings are destroyed
and many others injured. The dead and
wounded are now being gathered at the
Supreme court house, which has been con-
verted into a hospital. This building is also
damaged, but not seriously. The latest re-
ports show 81 are dead and about 100 in
jured, some of whom will die.

chre. / could have sworn thst those
phantasms of my brain were true.
Ladwell observed my dismay, .iLet
us hope" he said, 'we will try our
best"
"Try our best in the face of this" I
said.
Certainly. If you consent we will
apply the magnetic test.
1--WE must take her away then" said.
Certainly"
Half an hour later the body of Edith
was within the sociable and the coffin
which held her remains was again COW
cred up. The grave was left exactly to
all appearances as before.
We took our seats, the dead between
us,
Our course was now to return to the
house by circuitous route, but just as
we were starting off two or three men
who had evidently been secreted watch
ing us sprang toward the horses head
and called on us to surrender.
In an instant the horse sprang for
ward and we were dashing along through
the darkness at pace which soon out
distanced our pursuers, who were on
foot.
THAT is the matter with being too
sure" said Ladwcll as we Stacked up 1T
the end of our first mile to listen if we
were being followed.
There was no indication of it.
No one knew the roads in that locality
better than ourselves.
Once or twice | asked Ladwell what
he intended doing.
"Lcave it to me, " was his answer.
At the end of an hour we were again
safe in Ladweils back yard, the hols
stabbed and our precious burden stretched
upon the sofa in Ladwell's private room.
We had escaped by miracle.
We had now to appeal to our last re-
source. Ladwell was firm believer in
the virtues of the magnet. Not the
slightest symptom of life rewarded our
minute examination. Still l.adwell
seemed hopeful. Ihad drifted into the
deepest dependency. The battery was
just placed in motion when the first
streak of dawn stole through the blinds
Through them also appeared human
face.
There was a sound of tramping feet ap-
proaching the door, and we both knew
that probably our last hour had come.
There is a kind of tribunal popular
among the denizens of the West which
brooks no delay.
Judge Lynch speedily decided upon
the merits of our case. 1t was mere
matter of adjusting the rope.
But the sentence was never executed.
While the dread work of preparation
proccec ed science was performing its
wonderful mission.
Instead of the hempen cord aroun1 ]
my neck the arms of Edith Norris were
twined. Retribution is swift and also
restitution. We were married on the
spot where the sentence of death should
have been executed, and to-day there is
only one doctor at Iadwell's Landing. 1t
is Ladwell. -Nct0 YORK. Mercury.
