A Tornado in Ohio Wrecks Many Build
ings-Loss of Lie.
CLEVELAND, May 10TH The Leaders
Akron, Ohio, special says: AT $50 this
evening we are in the midst of most ter
rible cloud burst. This city was struck by
the worst tornado ever known hereabouts.
The storm struck the south part OF the city
and tore through the Fifth, Fourth and
Second Wards, doing damage which can
not be estimated at this writing. but fully
one hundred buildings are completely de-
molished, and hundreds of others are badly
damaged.
The housed Dominick Greader was IN
rooted, and Mrs. Greader was slightly in
jured. Passing along Brown, Kline and
Wheeler streets a dozen or more houses
were more or less damaged, some being
moved bodily from their foundations and
others completely wrecked.
The wind struck Gebhart Herman's
house as the family, consisting OF nine per-
SONS, had just sat down to supper, and the
house was badly wrecked. All the occu-
pants were more or less bruised. Herman
was pinned down in the debris, and only
the energy of desperation, when he saw
| the fire near him, enabled him to extricate
himself. Recovering, he found his little
girl burning by the overturned stove, and
before the flames could be extinguished she
was frightfully burned about the back and
| limbs.
The hurricane then struck the Burk.
hardt Brewery squarely, wrecking it ut
terly.
o. G. Bakers grocery was torn to pieces.
His wife and daughters were in the build
| ing, but escaped to the cellar and were
| saved. Baker is missing, and it is feared
| he is dead in the ruins.
E. s. Harrington's house was crushed in
| upon his four children. but luckily all
escaped.
Mr.. Irish is probably fatally injured, as a
heavy timber of his house fell upon him.
The extent of the tornado is at this time
unexplored, and the damage in dollars can.
not be stated. 1t is, however, large and
falls on laborers. whose all is in their
homes. All the descriptions of the storm
show that it was rotary in its motion by
the skewing of the buildings it struck and
| the twisting off of big trees in its path.
The track was between fifty and $50 feet
wide.

Tests that are Applied in England With
Indifferent Results.


"Drunk or not drunk ?'' That was the
question which presented itself for settle
ment the other day at Ripon. On behalf
of the luckless man who was accused of
having imhibed too freely, says the New
castle, England, Chronicle, it was submitted
that he was only "fresh." The legal gen.
tleman whose services had been retained
further maintained that a person who
could walk, as his client had been able to
do, was not drunk within the meaning of
the Act, and he reminded the bench that
it had been written that
He is not drunk who from the floor
Can rise again and still drink more;
But drunk is he who helpless lies
Without the power to drink or rse.
The poetical plea, however, ingenious as
it unquestionably was, was not regarded suf-
fciently sound to hold water, and so the
customary fine was imposed. 1t has lately
become customary to apply tests in such
cases, but this does not appear to have
been done in the present instance. When
the Licensing Act of 1872 came into ope-
ration a publican in this neighborhood
resorted to the happy expedient of fixing
the limits of supply by the ability of the
customer to utter, without stumbling, the
words 'truly rural" and some time ago it

The Worlds Fair

LONDON, May 10th.-Ferguson, Parlia.
meniary Secretary for the Foreign Office,
answering the question of Jesse Ceilings in
the Commons to-day, with reference to the
encouragement of British manufacturers by
the Government to send exhibits to Chi
cago, in view of the Mckinley tariff bill,
said the question of official participation
in the fair will be decided only after con-
sideration of the advantages that would ac-
crue to British interests. 1t is probable
that manufacturers would to great extent
be deferred from sending exhibits to the
fair if the tariff precluded profitable sales
in America.

UNDER ONE FLAG.
General Longstreet Makes Re-
markable Speech,
In which He Assumes Responsibility For
the Death Of Seven Hundred OF
His Brave Men.


The grand parade Of Federal and
Confederate veterans at Knoxville,
Tenn, Wednesday, was an immense af-
fair, and participated in by about equal
numbers Of the blue and gray. The line
of march was through the chief streets,
and then out to Ft. Sanders, the old bat
tie ground, where addresses were de-
livered BY ]. w. Caldwell, General Glib
son, Colonel w. A. Henderson and
General Longstreet. In the course
of his speech General Long
street said that he told President Davis
after the battle of Chickamauga that
the Confederacy was doomed. He says
that he came to Knoxville and made q
desperate assault on Ft Sanders, but
his heart was not in it, as he was con.
vinced it was lost cause. He says Of
the attack on the fort, that he alone
bears the undivided responsibility Of that
and the death of 700 of his brave men.
He says that it may be some comfort to
know that whatever might have been
the result of the little battle it could not
have affected the result OF the war; the
South was to be defeated. He seems to
agree with the general idea that the city
could have been taken had he assaulted
the fort when he first reached it. Gem
eral Longstreet says that the speech in
all probability is the last public utter
ance he would give in such apublic way.
Federal and Confederates alike shed
tears during its delivery. General Glib.
son, of Ohio, followed General Lonr-
street.

Rube Burrows Shot Dead While Attempt.
ing to Escape From His Captors.
The story of the capture Of Rube Bur-
rows, the famous train-robber and MUIR
derer, in a lonely cabin near South Ma
rengo, Ala, by two deputies, assisted
by two colored men, was supplemented
Wednesday by the killing of the out
law after he had wounded one of his
captors. The deputies, strapping him
to a horse, carried him twelve miles
to Linden Jail, where they arrived
late Tuesday night, and placed him
in the wooden structure. It was
agreed that Detective McDuffie and
one of the colored men named John
Marshall should stay in the jail with
the prisoner, still bandcuffed and secure
ly bound, until daylight, while Detec-
tive Carter and the negro went of to get
a brief nap before day. A short time
before day Wednesday morning he COM
planned of being hungry, and asked for
some thing to eat. McDuffie answered
he had nothing to eat. A sachel Of Bur-
rows was lying in one corner Of the room.
"Ihave some crackers in my bag there, If
you will hand it to me-" said the pris-
oner. McDufie handed the bag to Bur-
rows without opening it, and Burrows
put his manacled hands in the bag for q
moment and brought out two pistols,
covered McDuffie and the negro, and or
dered them to unite him, which they
did. Keeping the negro in front Of him,
Burrows disarmed both men and unlock
ed the front door and asked where Carter
was with his money. When told
that he was at the hotel he
ordered the negro to show him the
way, remarking that he was
going to have the money back or kill
somebody. He locked McDuffie in the
Jail and with the negro for guide went
to Carter's room, and getting the dror
on him demanded his money. Carter
sprang to one side and drawing pistol
fred at Burrows. The outlaw fred al
the same instant Carter's sudden
movement probably saved his life. He
received the outlaws bullet. The bull
let from Carter's pistol struck Burrows
in the middle Of the abdomen and pass.
ed through his body. Carter is badly
wounded.
