A Destructive Tornado in Lee County,
ILL.,, Causes Many Deaths.

Lee County, H., has been visited by a
terrible cyclone. The storm came from the
southwest, striking near Sublette, and doing
considerable injury, passing just south Of
Paw Paw, where it rose above the ground
and did no further injury. The path of the
storm was about 40 rods wide and several
miles long. A tremendous rain preceded the
cyclone, which lasted about two hours, and
by that time the creeks were oyerilowing.
During the heaviest of the rain IN Omi-
nous-looking cloud passed just south of Paw
Paw, and the roar it made could be distinctly
heard above the rumbling of the thunder.
1t had no sooner passed than it was observed
that leaves. sticks, etc, were falling from the
clouds. Soon after messenger on horse
back brought the news to town that cyclone
had passed about one mile south of the vii
lage. Relief parties Immediately made their
way to the scene.
The cyclone cut a complete swath of one
mile long through the grove. 1t first demol.

south of the village. School was not in ses-
SION but the teacher, Miss Mcbride, and her
little flock OF pupils, eight in number, were
waiting in the luild.ng for the storm to
abate. Every vestige Of the building was
wiped out, even the stones of the foundation
were moved. Not one soul in the building
escaped death. An observer says that the
building was raised in perfect shape some

Said to be Duo to Haired.

GeorGe swayse, a negro politician. was
found hanging to tree a; Black Creek, East
Feliciana parish, La. Swayse was an en-
ployee in the New Orleans custom house
and it is said he left that city several days
ago to go to East Feliciana parish to take
part in the election of State senator there.
Swayse is said to have been pro-lottery
man. When he was found in the parish he
was arrested for the murder of n. d. Winter
in 1876 and while in custody he was taken
from the officers by an armed body of men
and hanged.
The people of East Fclicina. which is
strongly anti-ottery, says Swayse was
hanged because they were incensed at his
return TO the parish after being warned
away. Advocates of the lottery on the other
hand assert that the real cause of the lynch
