ray in the Crews block and told him to
run, but Murray remained and was
killed. Ryan ran west and, finding the
street full of flying timberS, jumped
into doorway, held to the latch and
the building against which he was
standing fell around him, but he es-
capped untouched. A. B. Cox's store. G.

ESCAPED DESTRUCTION.
Hasserman's bakery, the Baptist
church, Cooks drug store, MarriOn'S
saloon, Perry's hotel and the Stratton
and johnson brick stores were leveled
to the ground. The entire east side of
the square is destroyed, and in one of
the buildings John Walters and child
lost their lives, as did Henry Walters,
father of John. Mrs. Walters was found
with her babe in her arms, both dead.
The northeast corner of the square,
Howard Bros. & Co.'s grocery was
blown down and the roof and second
story of r. L. Stratton & Co.'s hardware
store was blown away while the frame
hotel adjoining was unframed. Across
towards the northeast portion of the
city swept the storm and a number of PEG
pie were killed and the school building
was blown down. The south portion of
Mount Vernon is the newest part of the
city and has many large and
fine buildings. The court house has
not been injured, but it stands alone.
ALL AROUND IT is RUIN
and desolation, and it is now being used
as hospital for the wounded. Many
are suffering greatly. 1t is now thought
that the northern portion of the town
will escape the fire, which is confined
to the east, south and west sides and is
being fought manfully.
A pathetic incident of the disaster is
the fact that the operator at the Mt.
Vernon end of the Louisville & Nash
vile wire. whose name is Yearwood,
has an uncle, aunt and cousin dead in
the ruins, and the poor fellow,
with heart bursting with grief,
post of duty. Four men
in Evans bank were imprisoned i'll the
ruins of the building and burned to
death. Their cries of pain and distress
were agonizing in the extreme, but
nothing could reach them. Their
names could not be obtained. Physi-
clans to the number of twenty-one
joined the relief train from Evansville
ell route. They arrived shortly before
midnight.
LATEST FROM THE SCENE.
At a. IN. the fires are under control
and guards are on duty over the goods.
Nothing that the limited resources at
hand could provide has been neglected.
An unearthly quiet is over the place,
and only the occasional groans of the
dying and the broad track made desc
late by the cyclone tell of the terrible
catastrophe.

THE RUSSIAN BEAR
Continues to Occupy a Distinctly
Warlike Attitude.

Continues to Occupy a Distinctly
Warlike Attitude.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-It is expected
that the note Russia is reported to have
sent to the powers, boldly asserting her
claim to complete dominion of Bulgaria,
will prove to be the precursor of de-
termined action looking to the ousting
of Prince Ferdinand. The note is be-
lieved to indicate that the nego-
tiatiOnS between Russia and
Austria on the Bulgarian ques-
ton have reached deadlock.
Germany alone can persuade Austria
to accept the idea of a Russian
protectorate for Bulgaria, but it is not
thought that Bismarck will take the re-
sponsibility of cOercing Austria in the
matter. The note will revive the old
disagreement among the powers over
the Interpretation of the Berlin treaty,
and there is little chance of concerted
action in reply. This is perhaps what
Russia counts upon as means of
enabling her to slip in and take pos
session of her small neighbor while
the powers are Quarreling over ques-
ton OF Interpretation. 1t is rumOred
that Lord Salisbury will soon declare
an Eastern policy which will be boldly
anti-Russian in character, and upon
which he will rely to divert attention
from the failure of his domestic policy.
PARIS, Feb. 19.-Le Temps announces
that there is great activity in French
arsenals. The fighting fleet is being
fitted for active service.
CONsTANTINOPLE, Feb. 19.-The porte

protect her MOhammedan subjects in
Bosnia and Herzegovina from Greek
persecution. The porte also asks that
Turkey be restored to the administra-
ton of those provinces. 1t is said that
Russia has promised to consider the de-

SOME WILL, SOME WILL NOT.
A. Difference of Opinion Among
the Reading Strikers.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb. 10. - The
miners of this section met in Robbins.
opera house to-day to act on the order
for resumption of work. The room
would not accommodate them, although
almost two thousand persons gained
admission. Two votes were taken, the
first being almost unanimously against
going to work. After addresses by
James Brennan, of the joint committee,
James Haskell and others, who stated
that the strike was lost as fought so far;
that many families were starving, with
no hope of speedy relief and that the
offer was fair and reasonable.
a second vote was taken and
resumption was agreed to with
only one dissenting voice. It is under
stood that the Lehigh Valley company
has agreed to the same terms as the
Reading company, and that work will
also be resumed at the Packer collieries
here this week.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. Feb. 19.-Mass
meetings have been held throughout the
district to-day and the Lewis Corbin
agreement has been severely denounced.
Chairman Davis arrived here from
Pottsville tonight and is now comforting
with prominent labor leaders here. I'M
less this conference results in a change
of sentiment among the strikers fully
1,50O miners will refuse to return to
work tomorrow morning.
ASHLAND, Pa, Feb. 19.-At meeting
of Knights of Labor miners held here
this afternoon 1t was decided to obey
the instructions and return to work to-
morrow
