TEE DEADLY CYCLONE.
Fearful Los. OF LIE and Properly
1t LouLsvi lie. Kentucky.

disSa.eh dated Louisville, KY,
March %, says.
Shortly after O'Clock Pm. a tornado
swept over this city, wrecking two or
three hundred houses and killing at
leas. two hundred people. The
Union depot at the foot OF Seventh
street was blown into the raging tor
rent OF tho Ohio river. A train Of
cars making up Tor the Louisville
Southern road went over with the
building. Falls City Hall on West
Market street was wrecked. In the
hall were over one-hundred people
aud but few Of them escaped alive.
Every house on Market, Jefferson
and Walnut streets, from Tenth to
S~ixteeath streets is in ruins. Park
llnd, a suburb was swept away.
Sach deso!ation no city has known
in tae century. The district laid
VI .ste comprises an area three miles
long and nearly half q mile wide.
Fifteen unidentified bodies are lying
in a heap in Falls City Hall, and
other heaps lie all over the city. Many
bodies were carried away b. friends,
and it is impossible to reach them.
Later reports indicate that the
estimated loss CT life and property
VIZ, exaggerated. A dispatch OF the
Doth says:
1t IS now pretty near certain the
entire loss OF life will not go much
a5oye 100, if that number is reached.
Up to this writing the total number
whose bodies have been recovered,
and the missing, who it is reasonably
certain are dead, is SO. In addition,
there are about a dozen so badly in
jured that death may ensue. From
$50 to 200 persons are injured to an
extent worth noticing, and probably
from 500 to 1000 have very slight
bruises or scratches.
The Masonic Committee wired the
following to Leander Burdick, Grand
Master, at Toledo, O.: "From what
We can gathsr, there are about AGO
houses destroyed. Threo hundred
persons are injured, Of whom 20 per
cent. will probably die from their in
juries, and l25 arc now dead. The
citizens seem DESTROYS of caring for
their OWN dead and injured"

Nevada

We have received from State Con-
troller Hallock an abstract Of state
ments OF Insurance Companies doing
business in tho State OF Nevada dur
ing the year ending December 81,
1889. From this it appears that there
are thirty-six companies interested in
business in this State, not ono Of
which is q Nevada institution. These
insurance companies took risks dur
ing the past year a~ggregating Si,053,-
1865, on which they received premi-
u,ns amounting to sl35,076.36. The
losses paid during tho year amounted
to S111,226.32, leaving n profit TO tho
companies Of s23,S5O.04. Deducting
q small per cont. from this for ex-
penses, salaries OF agents, etc, there
still remains n handsome profit TO the
ihs irers. The above is for Firo In
Il nlone, and is exclusive Of
Life and Acciden business and As
sessmont Associations, which is no in
considerable sum-.
Tho question naturally n%rises, Why
would it not be n paying investment
TO inaugnrste q sound Insurance
Company within tho Slater A urge
amount Of this vast outlay might just
rs we'll DO kept within tho State, and
the people Of Nevada would certainly
profcr to patronize q homo institution
rather than one located ut London or
Liverpool, England; Dublin, Ireland;
Hamburg, Germany; Toronto, Can
ada; Auckland, New Zealand, or va
rious cities in the United States, both
East and West, all OF which are rep
rcsonted In tho insurance business
within tho State Of Nevada, We sug-
COST that q Nevada Insurance Compa-
ny DO formed, which would eventual
~ ~supcrcodo these foreign corpora
tions in taking risks on property
within tho State, and pay d handsome
profit on tho capital invested In tho
enterprise.

Mail Contracts.

We heartily concur in the latter
clause OF the following from the Lyon
County Times:
1.-The eastern mail contract brokers
are trying to sublet their contracts
to carry mails over several routes in
Nevada, but ore having hard work to
do 30 Is thew took the work for less
than it can DO done for, and no ono in
this State seems to want any OF the
routes very bad at the prices to DO
paid. Hope the eastern contractors
will have to pay a bonus to get the
work done.

The Concert Of Last Friday Night.

In our last issue we expressed on
opinion of the vocal power and distin-
gushing peculiarties of Miss Adah
Hullingsworth's music.
We attended II e concert given by her
on last Friday MI BIT, Nov. 81. at Perro-
din's Hall. She then favored the au-
dience with the Swiss Echo, by Eckert
and the StaccatG Polka. We mention
these because far more art and talent
are required in singing them, than 9th.
ers she sang. We found something ex-
tremely charming in her performance of
these, and much that wac unique in the
selections themselves. The r.sner ex-
J,ibitpd in both was almost fabulous.
She sang Coming through the Rye,
ssLast Rose of Summer Annie Laurie"
s'Swees Home" and "the drinking song"
by specias request, and we feel conf
dent, the audiepce never heard them
more sweetly sung, If as sweety. The
graces which adorn her performance lie
beyand the methods which the matters
of art usually teach, and they are such
as genius alone can successfully reach.

for the ADti-Lottely Law, he would not
leave those Who take tickets to guess at
how he will finally award the doll. This
must be left, under the opinion of the
Attorney General Of the United States,

adopts this method Of informing his pa
irons that he will sell for twenty five
cents ticket, the holders to guess which
of them may get it. Time Of disposing
