WILKEsBARRE, Pa, August l9.-At {
o'clock this afternoon the most terrible
cyclone that was ever experienced
in this locality struck this city. 1t cant
up the river. From what point it orig
mated is not now known. The sudden.
ness of its coming was one of its awful
features. The heavens were as black as
night and the wind blew with most
frightful velocity. Whole row of trees
were blown down. Following this hun
dreds OF houses were unroofed, partially
blown over or completely demolished.
Worse than all, the visitation of death
was sent upon a number of people. How
many were Killed Is not known at this
time. Large districts in several sections
OF the city are in absolute ruins, and
women and children are in the streets
crying and wringing their hands in abso-
lutte dismay. The damage will reach
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pas
senger trains and locomotives at the de-
pot were blown over, and every wire In
the city-electric light, telegraph and
telephone is down. The devastation is
to be compared with nothing in the mem
DRY OF the oldest inhabitant. Everybody
is rejoicing that no fires have as vet fol
lowed, for the streets are impossible with
trees and fallen buildings and the en-
gines could not be drawn through them.
THE DEATH LIST.
The total death loss so far as as,er-
tained is twelve. -Four men are known
to have been killed sn the Hazard Wire
Rope works. A house on Scott street.
occupied by miners, who had Just re-
turned from work, fell In and three of the
inmates were killed. A smoke stack of
the Kyle planning mill fei. on a man and
two horses and all were killed. A little
colored girl Was killed by a building on
South Main street. Two men suffered
death by the falling of a portion of Steg-
mair's brewery, and a third incurred the
same fate through the complete destruc
ton of S. L.. Browns handsome brick
business block on east Market street.
There are undoubtedly fifteen or sixteen
others killed. Reports are coming in
constantly to that effect. Many poor
people have suffered heavy losses and it
will be months before all the damage can
be repaired.
One hundred tin roofers have been tel
egraphed for and building mechanics of
all kinds can find employment here for
weeks to come. 1t is already known
that fully 200 buildings have been blown
down or otherwise damaged. Many of
the structures were of large size and of
great value.

she smiled in return.
"Whatl Whatr thought Kent. MY

where Mr.. Kent overworked his lmagina-
tion. Fired with enthusiasm he rushed out
at the end of the first act across the street to
the Gedney House, and ordered a pint OF
champagne sent to Miss Manola with his
compliments. In act II Miss Prince Bulbul
Manola drank the wine to Kent, glancing
at him meantime with look that meant
volumes.

Next morning he found this note in his
mail:

Mr.. Kent was furious. He wrote letter
to handsome Jack Mason, and inclosed in 1t
the horrid, paitry 81 bill. He wrote:
SIR: If Miss Manola's husband had returned
my 81 for wine would have kept it. fail to
see what authority you have to act in her be-
half SETH MILLER KENT.
But poor Kent soon began to feel warm
sympathy for the fellow who fell out of the

Mason, saying he had been requested by
Miss Manola to return the So which he in
closed. Then Mr.. Kent wrote this:

TIE PROSPECTIVE TRIP TO EUROPE

NEW YORK, October 25.-Everybody
knows that Marion Manols and John B.
Mason, lately the Handsome Jack" Mason,
of the Boston Museum Company, are going
to Europe to be married because the lady
already has husband in this country
Henry S. Mould-and if she became Mrs.
Mason in America unpleasant complications
might result Miss Manola sued her hus-
band in April, 1889, for divorce on the
ground of abandonment. lie began suit for
divorce too, on more serious grounds. The
couple compromised in June, 1889, and
their little daughter remains with her
mother.
Miss Manola and Jack Mason met while
she was singing in Boston, some months
ago. They loved. Jack Mason's mother
died recently and left him fortune vari.
ously estimated at from $4,000 to $50, 600.
Jack at once bought yacht to show his
new status as a man of wealth. 1t was to
take little sail on this yacht that Miss
Manola got leave of absence for two DAYS
on July 2S. The rest of the sailing party
consisted of IL men.
QUEEN OF THE YACHT.
Miss Manola was the only female on
board the vessel. OF course, the presence of
a lady was the one thing necessary to calm
and restrain the overhowing gayety OF the
II gay vachtsmen, and well Miss Manola
furnished the presence. When she came
ashore at the end of one weeks sailing and
read in the newspapers that she was to be
disciplined for oYerstaying her leave of ab-
sence from the theater she promptly sought
revenge by staying away another week. OFF
went the sloop, but five of the giddy anna
teur sailor boys stayed ashore, so that Miss
Manola had only halt a dozen young men
TO matronize.
Miss Manola was playing Bulbul in
DeWolf Hopper's 'Castles in the Air.
company when all this occurred. Jack
Mason told Boston correspondent last
Sunday, that he had left the Museum Com
pany 10 take a much-needed rest. Doubt
less he will get rest enough in Europe if
only Marion and he can find some one to
marry them and thus tranquilize their weary
spirits. In the meantime Miss Manola is
trying to get $3.50 from Lock & Davis 10
help along the wedding trip.
