More About the Rush of the Furies
through Calhoun.
GORDON, GA, March 21-At II o'clock
last night Calhoun was visited by terrible
funnel shaped cyclone, which cut a swath
seventy-fve yards wide through the middle
of the town, taking the court house and de-
pot. The cyclone bounded down on the
little town suddenly, and after doing its
work of destruction, lifted from the earth
to strike again, no one here knows where.
Every building in its path was either to-
tally destroyed or badly damaged The
streets are full of sheeting, shingles, and the
debris of roofs. The storm, in its wild fury,
played eccentric pranks, in one instance
cutting house half in two, and carrying
away one-half.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPES.
Then it tore down house around some
women and children without harming a
haix of their heads.
The white Baptist church was totally
demolished and the colored Methodist
church was thrown to the ground.

praised by the State Commissioners yester
day, but to-day it is without value.
jackson & Logan's livery stable was
badly damaged.
G. T. Graves business house, a frame
building, was totally destroyed, and another
wooden building, occupied as a grocery
store and express Office, was totally de-
molished and the goods were ruined by the
rain, which fell in torrents, with which hail
was mixed.
DAMAGED STORES.
The brick store of Mr. Harrell was badly
damaged The walls were badly cracked.
The front end of Mr. Hughey's grocery
store was pulled away from the building.
The roof of j. M. Meals grocery store is
off, and his goods are damaged.

rooted and her goods were damaged.

CALHOUN IN ITS COURSE.
Every House in the Town Unroofed-
Leaping into Tennessee.

Leaping into Tennessee.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, March 21.-A
special to the Times reports terrible wind
storm at Calhoun, Ga, last night Calhoun
is ninety miles from Chattanooga, on the
Western and Atlantic road. The storm de-
molished the Baptist and Methodist
churches, destroyed several houses and I'M
rooted every house in the town. Numbers
of cattle were killed. No loss of life has as
yet been reported, but four or five persons
were wounded by falling timbers
The storm seems to have formed in the
vicinity of Calhoun and pursced a north
! easterly direction through North Georgia
and into and beyond East Tennessee, bound
ing across the Chilhower mountains, and
was next heard from near Loudon, Tenn,
on the East Tennessee road, so miles
northeast of Chatta ooga, travelling from
Calhoun, Ga, to Loldon. Tenn, distance
of 100 miles in about thirty minutes.
FEARFUL DEVASTATION.
The path of the tornado from Calhoun to
Loudon was through a section remote from
railroads and telegraph lines, and the
damage it may have done will not be
known for some days, but it must have
been fearful. The tornado in places cleared
the ground completely of grass, and forest
of timber was mown as with great scythe.
The cyclone had whlrling rotatory mo-
tion, leaving a scene cf desolation and de-
struction in its path. Large trees were
twisted from their trunks, and others were
torn up by the roots A heavy bureau was
found mile from the house that had con-
tanned it.
SCORES INJURED.
The list Of seriously wounded men and
children in Loudon county is very large.
Andy Worley his wife and eight children
were every one injured. Some of them
will die.
The station at Calhoun was unroofed and
a coored porter received injuries which
NAV prove fatal. Several houses were car
ried distance of half a mile. Telegraph
wires were prostrated, and a number Of
cars were thrown from the track. The loss
in Calhoun alone will reach $4,000

Blair's Bill to Give Them Preference
Laid over TIL Next Week.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.--In the Senate
to-day Mr. Blair, in reference to his bill to
give preference in civil service appoint
ments to wounded ex-soldiers of the Con
federacy as between men who had been
disloyal, said that several Senators on both
sides had requested him to have the bill lie
over still further. He therefore asked its
postponement til next Tuesday, when he
would ask the Senate to dispose Of the pend
ing question-its second reading Of the bill.
Mr. Vance denied the correctness of the
statement made yesterday by Mr.. Blair as
to there being ~, 600 x-Confederate soldiers
in tho State of North Carolina alone who
had lost limbs and many of whom were
destitute in aims houses. He had not clear y
heard tho remark yesterday. The Senator
had been misnformed. There was no such
number OF disabled ex soldiers in that State
Those who were helpless were pensioned by

$4,000 in Due Bills Left Behind.
LOUISVILLE, March 21.-A dispatch from
Frankfort states that the Senate Judiciary
Committee and the committee appointed
yesterday by the House in their joint re-
port to the Legislature to-day concerning
the proper measures 20 be taken
in the late defalcation case
recommended impeachment. The report
said suspension by the Go, does not
vacate the Office, and that i'm eachment is
the only constitutional means by which in
this case the absconding Treasurer may be
removed and his place made vacant.
The report was adopted, and a special
committee is at work formulating a proper
mode of procedure. A resolution Offering
a reward of 81, 900 for Tate's apprehension
was also adopted.
Auditor Hewitt stated to a reporter this
morning that he had worked almost three
entire nights on Treasurer Tate's books, and
found that the shortage would fall under
$500, 600, but above Sl90, 600
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
Some startling developments are prom.
ised when the private papers Of the Treas
urer are looked into. 1t is said these docu-
ments will show loans to high officials,
among them being 5000 to an ex-Judge OF
the Court of Appeals. 1t is said by
! men who are conversant with
the States affairs that more men
than one knew of Tate's financial
straits and they were in a measure RESPONSE
BILE in putting him to flight One thing
seems to be evident and that is that the
Governor means to lay open the whole
| thing. There were many uneasy heads last
night.
WHEN HE WAS EVEN,
Auditor Hewitt states that he has found,
as result of his investigation, that on
March II, 1SS7-iust year ago Saturday
Treasurer Tate had in bank money to meet
every voucher and could have squared ac-
counts with the State that day to a cent,
but the Auditor does not think
| all this shortage has occurred since
that date, but the money must
have been drawn since then. He thinks tho
leakage has been going on for years, and
that Tate has been bridging it over from
time to time, and up TO a year ago was
able to place in bank sufficient sums to
make his books square.
TATE's ASSETS
Among the missing Treasurer's assets are
| said to be $4,000 of due bills from friends
for money loaned, most of which is good; /;
COO barrels of old whisky in Louisville,
whose value is estimated at $50, 900,
and $25 900 in banks at Frankfort.
| The latter has been attached
and the due bills are locked up in the vault
| in the State House. Late this afternoon a
certificate of deposit representing $40, 500
was discovered among Tateis nrivate Danars
II will reduce the deficit that much, and
Auditor Hewitt now says the amount will
fall considerably under his estimate of $780,
000

A DRASTIC MEASURE.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The House
Committee on Pacific Railroads will give
another hearing or two ard will then settle
down to the preparation Of bill to provide
Central Pacific to the government. 1t will
be, according to a member OF the commit
tee, "A drastic measure" Its de-
tails have not as yet been agreed
upon, but they will be in tho
line Of the suggestions made by the Pacific
Railway Commission. The arguments OF
the attorneys and representatives Of tho
Central Pacific before the committee have
deepened rather than re1oved the impress
sion made upon the committee by tho rer
port of the commi ssion and the message of
the President that the Central Pacific is
arrogant IN its con.umaoy.
