SCENES OF HORROR.
Pathetic Incidents in the Track of tn Storm King.

Pathetic Incidents in the Track of the
 Storm King.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 29.-One of the narrowing incidents of the 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 she may die. St. Johns Episcopal church, adjoining the double house, was shattered throughout, and noth- ing but mass of bricks and splintered beams is left to tell the tale. The rectory was next to this, and here the beloved rector met his awful death, side by side with his child. He was with his family reading when the death crash ended his useful life, and from his position when found must have been killed instantly His head was horribly crushed, his chest caved in and his whole body bruised. His beautiful boy, who was evidently sitting at his fathers knee, was killed by terrible fracture of the skull and was also torn and mangled.
 Fate of the Laundry Girls.
 The laundry girls of the Louisville hotel who were killed, roomed on Main street next to the hotel As the storm came with out warning, those confined had no time tc escape. The walls fell with crash and the screams of. the girls could be plainly heard above the roar of the storm and the falling debris. Mary Grove and Mary Farrall es capped and the rest were buried beneath the ruins Officers John Fully and Joe Baldwin heard the piteous appeals of a woman's voice beneath the ruins Both set to work and ir short time the body of a man was discov' cred, who proved to be Hon. T. Henry Mason, of Hawesville. The foot and hand of another were also uncovered. Rescued. Revolver in Hand.
 A mans voice was heard in corner ant light showed the scared face of Virgi Wright. He was penned in with a mass o bric ss and mortar. In his hand he held { pist1l, with which he was trying to end hi sufferings. His arm was so badly bruised however, that he was unable to pull tn, trigger, and he was rescued quite badly wounded but was able to walk.

 The mileage. book argument is dis cussed, and cussed, by many. Some are SO disgusted that they remain quiet. but think that this great monopoly will in the near future require passengers who do not own an individual book, but present their fare, to answer if they have warrantee claim of the money presented if not it will be presumed they have borrowed said money aud they will forthwith be reported and have to answer before the great railroad magnates at Bridgeport. The legislators of Connecticut are very liberal, with the peoples money, toward corpora tions. shielding them from taxation, etc.. but when the question of carrying pass engers by railroads for two cents mile is discussed they shut their eyes toward what they know is right, and allow rail- roads to collect what they choose from passengers. Now we wonder Gn your columns, Mir Elitor) if it is more expen- sive to transport one passenger who has wealth and can buy mileage book than to transport 8 passenger who is in limited circumstances and borrows a book from his neighbor, paying him for the miles travelled.
