BarEes Containing s1.a5O,OOO Worth
Were Moored at Louisville.
PrrTsBURG, March 29.-The telegraph
and newspaper Offices were besieged for
news from Louisville. Pittsburg coal
men were especially interested end anx-
ious. Nearly all the large firms have
bransh offices at Louisville and many
of them have associate members of the
firms or relatives there in charge.
1t is estimated that not less than 10,-
600, 900 bushels of coal, of which 7,000,-
900 bushels belonged to Pittsburg par
ties, was moored at Louisville last
night. It's value, with craft in which
1t is loaded, is placed at 81, $50. 900, ex-
elusive of the towboats, which are
valued at . half million dollars more.
How much of it is there now is the
question the coal men are anxiously
asking themselves and one another
About $500, 900 bushels of coal had
passed below the falls, the remainder
being at the ''Punkin Patch" on the
Indiana side of the river, about four
miles above. The larger part of the
coal was intended for the Now Orleans
market.

PARALYzED WITH FEAR,
A Railroad Conductors Graphic Descrip
ton Of the Terrible Scsno.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 29.-W. n.
Robertson, of this city, conductor Of
the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indian
apolis road, left Louisville about
O'Clock on the night of the calamity.
Mr.. Robertson says he was at supper
N the Metropolitan Hotel at exactly
roaring on the outside, and all the
diners made a rush for the street.
Once there, they were confronted by
additional terrors, for the air was full
OF flying bricks and signs and roofs,
and to add to the horror of the occa-
sion, everything was inky darkness.
But only for a moment.
The roaring, crashing sound seemed
to pass on in the darkness, and in the
track left by it there sprang up in
evory direction long tongues Of flame,
Then from the masses of ruins which
the flames lighted up came shrieks and
sobs and means
The confusion caused by the tornado
was soon succeeded by that of people
running to and fro, wagons and fire en-
gines rumbling over the debris with
which the streets were strewn.
For a time everybody seemed para
tyzed with fear and apparently in
doubt whether to fee or wait for what
ever the fates had in store for them.
The work of rescue was at once begun
and along that part of the town in
which Mr.. Robertson was. the side
walks were soon piled high with crushed
and mangled. wounded and dead vic
Tins Of the storms wrath.
Wagons of all kinds were pressed into
service, and the dead and wounded were
hauled as rapidly as the darkness and
the confused condition of the streets
would permit, to the houses outside
the path of the tornado

BURIED IN THE RUINS.
Dancing Children Crushed to Death IL
Public Building.


LoU1svnLE, KY, March 29.-The great
est loss of life occurred at the Falls
City HALL, which stood in the center Of
the devastated area.
Seventy-fve children with their pa
rents were in the lower rooms of the
building, where the little ones were
taking dancing lessons.
1t is said that at least 1876 persons
were on the lower floors and that rs to
100 were on the upper floor attending .
lodge meeting at the time the wind
storm struck the building.
The entire structure in twinklinG
was ashapeless mass and the hundreds Of
victims wore buried under its ruins,
Minimum estimates place the loss of
life at this point at 100, while others
put the number at 200.
sratched just Ia Time for Death.
The ferryboat w. G. Hite, with many
passengers, was snatched from doom a.
she neared the falls. Sergeant Rurk,
Signal Service Observer, saws the storm
possesses the characteristic features of
. genuine cyclone. There were three
distinct motions-an outward motion
at a rate of speed varying from IS to 06
miles per hour: and q verticle axis,
miles an hour; and a third, bounding
motion, which contacts with tho earth
at irregular intervals.
A Water Famine Sure to Follow.
The water works are ruined. The big
standpipe. through which all the water
10 forced into the reservoir, was demol-
ished by the Cyclone. The city's water
supply is thus cut off. and it is not
known how long it will take to repair
the damage. Consequently o water fam
inc is sure to follow All the windows
of the pumping station were blown out.
The standpipe was 100 feet high, and
was built of brick, iron and wood, and
was four feet in diameter on tho inside
A Minister and His Son Killed.
One of the narrowing incidents of tho
disaster was the killing Of the Rev.
Stephen E. Barnwell, rector of St Johns
Episcopal Church, and his young son
Dudley. Mrs. Barnwell was SO badly
hurt that che may die. St. Johns Epis-
copal Church, adjoining the double
house, was shattered throughout, and
nothing but a mass of bricks and splint-
cred beams Is left to tell the tale

American Mechanics Cali for Armed
Men to Help Them Hoist 1t.
PrTTsBURG, Pa, March 29.-1he Senior
Order of American Mechanics called for
1000 srmad men to assist to-day in
placing the American flag on the public
school h Iuse at Mucklerat, a small min
ing town in Sterrett township, this
county.
The Mechanics attempted to raise the
flag last Saturday, but were met at the
entrance to the school yard by mob,
who refused to allow it to be placed on
the building. Insulting expressions
were made use of, and finally the senti-
nent became SO strong that the School
Board finally urged the committee to
withdraw, fearing resort to violence.
The Mechanics returned, and after re-
porting the matter to their council a
circular was issued calling for 1000
armed men to see that the flag was
placed on the building to-day. Feeling
is high and there may be trouble.

TOWN WIPED OUT.

Bowling Groen Was In the Path Of the
Tornado and Was Swept Away.
CINCINNATI, March 29.-Late dispatches
state that the tornado struck the town
of Bowling Green, Warren County, KY.
and completely wiped it out. As the
wires are downno detailed report can
be obtained, and but the meagre fact
that the calamity had occurred has been
received.
Bowling Green has a population of
between 5000 and 5000 inhabitants,
and the loss of life is conjectured to be
oorrespondingly large. The ill-starred
town was directly in the path of the
tornado as traced on the map, and the
report beyond doubt is true.

NEW YORK, August 21.-The Stock Market

sulting in material losses in everything traded
in. The bears by the aid of the labor troubles
and tight money, have at last succeeded in
forcing the liqu idation of long accounts, and
stocks today were thrown over at lively rate.
Money loaned at the highest figures known in
years, probably since the May panic of 1884,
and large premium was exacted for its use
reached the lowest figures, a report was received
from Washington that the treasury would prob
ably take some action to relieve the stringency
in the money market, and sharp rally took
place. Close, after the rally, was firm, but in
many cases close to the lowest prices of the
day.
