 The story goes that the Beaver line steamer Lake Ontario, Captain Campbell. which left here on Wednesday for Liver pool with full list of cabin passengers, Including many of the leading citizens of this city, has gone down with all hands.
 The accident, according to the rumor, occurred some time yesterday.
 From the last reports of the vessel re- ceived here she should have been in the vicinity of Anticosti yesterday, and as 1t is known that terrible storm has been raging in the Gulf for the last few days, the worst is anticipated.
 The rumor of the disaster is we'll authenticated.

DANvnLE, May 31.-A cyclone from the west struck this city and demolished a six-story building in the course of erec- tion yesterday.
 Robert Britt, James Young, G. I. Jones, Bud Hooper and D. N. Collier were buried iH the ruins, and were subsequently, taken out dead.
 Harry Oak was rescued alive, but died in a few minutes.
 Six others are fatally injured.
 HAGERSTowN, Md, May 3l.--About 6 o'clock last night a huge funncl-Shaped cloud Was observed following tho sides of the Blue Ridge mountains near here. The heat during the afternoon had been oppressive.
 The nosc of the funnel top struck the mountain tops, and every place 1t touched was marked by bare spot among the trees.
 The cyclone made q plunge down the mountain side and swept through the thckly y-scttled Potomac valley. Houses, barns, churches crops and orchards were licked up, and at least four lives are now known to have been lost.
 About five miles away on old Blue Nose stood the cabin of Edward Bevant, a -woodchopper and charcoal burner. He with his wife and two children must have been killed, for when tho cloud passed where the cottage had stood there was only dark brown scar.
 How many moro tragedies like the de- struction of the Bovant cottage have Oc. cured cannot be told, but the mountain sides are dotted with the homes of wood- choppers and charcoal burners, and 1t Is scarcely possible that this was an isolated case.
 The cyclone also struck Martinsbu re before it swept down on Danville. Two mon were killed outright and number injured.
 As the telegraph wires are being re- paired, rumors of fatalities and vast de- struetion are coming from tho Pan Handle of West Virginia, Northwestern Virginia and Western Maryland.
