Detroit hasan art school, the principal
boneiiciaries being a class Of Young wo-
men. The conductor of the school is
Professor John Ward Dunsmore, from
England. Recently Professor Dunsmore
issued an order that all pupils must be
puuctual in attendance, or submit a writ
ten excuse for their absence. This wor.
ried the young ladies, but they bore the
wrong in diEnifed silence. More re-
Gently Dunsmore issued another law. Nc
pupil should be allowed to chew pum
during the sessions.
This assault upon the free born Amer
leans dearest fad was too much, and an
indignation meeting was held. The boss
gum chewer Of the class was made presi-
dent, and she declared that the object of
h meeting was to protest against British
tyranny. BY a unanimous vote the
young ladies decided that Professor
Dunsmore must go or they would desert
h school in a body. The directorsof the
MuseumOf Arts have not less thar $780,
600 invested in the enterprise, and have a
long time contract with Professor Duns-
more. The action Of the young women
places them in an unpleasant predica-
ment. If the professor is retained the
class will desert. If he be removed he
will appeal to the courts to enforce paw
ment of his salary Turing the time for
which he WAS employel.-St. Louis

Perhaps there has not been for a long
time a winter so favorable to ice boat
ing as the last, and there was quite a
boom in ice yachting. especially on Lake

Boat club went out for a fast trial trip,
and although the wind was not blowing
a gale. it WAS a good still breeze from

The boat was pointed ~homewards at

Swept by a Cyclone.

LOUISVILLE, Kv., March 2S.-The
tornado entered the southeastern portion
of the city at Eighteenth street and swept
a path five blocks wide, ~diagonally reach
ing in a ragged line to Seventh street,
leveling every building in Its path, proba
bly, $500 houses. A rough estimate
puts the killed at 500, with thousands OF
injured. The city is filled with a crazed
mass of people wildly seeking friends. A
large force of men is at work on the ruins,
and 100 bodies have been recovered. The
buildings on Main street from Eighth to
Fourteenth are in ruins, not one of the
handsome wholesale houses being left,
and all the tobacco warehouses are swept
away. On Market street the Falls City
hall, a four.story building, was blown
down while several Masonic and Knights
of Honor lodges were in session. One
hundred men and women are buried in
the ruins.
Every house on Market, Jefferson and
Walnut streets, from Tenth to Sixteenth
street, is in ruins. Falkland, a suburb,
is swept away. Such desolation no city
has known IN this century Every build
ing. tree and telegraph pole in the dis
trict was struck and leveled.
The cyclone was predicted by the signal
service yesterday afternoon. but no heed
vas paid to the warning. The cyclone
came with scarcely a warning sound. and
in all the buildings struck the inhabitants
were engaged in their usual vocations.
The district laid vase comprises an area
three miles long and nearly half a mile
wide.
Among the bodies identified are Mrs.
May Hodges, Louis Summons and four
children, Miss App, a dancing school
teacher; George Foster. a clerk; Ben
Randolph, James Rock, Peter Grumley,
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Bufee, Chris Mil
Ter. Mrs. Langton, Mrs. Adam Mills,
Mrs. Charles Hassom, Rev. N. Barn
well, pastor St. James Episcopal church
and one child. Fifteen unidentified
bodies are lying in a heap at Falls City
hall. There aae other heaps all over the
city. Many bodies we're carried away by
friends.
TIE cyclone crossed the rsver, striking
Jeffersonville, Ind, and badly wrecking
Front street on the river front, but no
lives were lost. Hundreds of wounded
were taken to their homes and the hos
pitfalls. All the physicians in the city are
attending them. At 8 O'Clock seven fires
were burning. but all were ~extinguished.
1t is very evident that it was not a
cyclone as the effect is too widespread.

vile. He was in Louisville when the
tornado burst on the town, and fears that
800 lives have been lost. He gives a
graphic description OF the main points OF
the disaster. lie was eating supper in
the Metropolitan hotel at 6 o'clock when
a crashing and roaring was heard outside.
All the guests rushed 10 the street, but
recoiled on finding the air full of flying
debris. Everything was black, the lights
being out in the streets. In a moment
the roaring seemed to pass on into the
darkness, and In the track of the wind
sprang up in every direction shoots OF
flames, while from all the ruins came the
cries and groans of the wounded.
For a tine everybody seemed paralyzed
with fear and apparently in doubt whether
to fee or not. The work of rescue wa
soon begun, however, and along that part
of the town in which Robertson was the
sidewalks were soon piled high. Wagons
of all kinds were pressed into service and
the dead aud wounded hauled as rapidly
away as che darkness and confused condi-
ton OF the streets woull permit to houses
outside the path OF the cyclone.
The storm came from the south west and
seems to have been a veritable cyclone.
The force of the wind was hardly felt
above the Gait house, but below that, so
far as could be seen by the light OF blazing
ruins, everything was laid fat. Fires
were burning when Robertson left Louis
vile in five different places.
The principal loss of life. it is thought,
was in Falls Ulty hall, where a dance was
in progress. The sheds at the Seventh
street depot were blown down, covering
the Louisville & Southern trains and in
turing a large number of people. Street
cars were blown from the tracks and
crushed against the walls OF buildings.
When the fire broke out In the ruins on
Seventh street a nan. his wife aud little
girl were seen wedged under the debris,
and although they shrieked for aid and
the spectators made heroic efforts to re-
lease them, it was impossible and they
slowly burned to death in the presence OF
helpless hundreds. None of the people
who came through on Robertson train
could estimate the extent OF the disaster
owing to the short time they remained,
but everywhere that a fire served as a
beacon light everything seem to be swept
clean.

The Worst Ever Experienced.

GALLATIN, Tenn, March 2S.-The
worst storm in the history of this place
visited here last night. Two miles out a
number of houses were destroyed. In
town the brick residence of John Hibbott
was blown away and an IS ~months-old
baby and a l2-year old boy were killed.
Hibbot and wife were fatally injured.
VIM. Patterson and five persons we're in
iured. James Patterson's house was
wrecked and his wife very badly hurt.
Many other residences were destroyed.
The cyclone did its worst work after leav
ing here, however. For twenty-five miles
every thing was damaged. All houses
beyond Bledso up to Emilia, Macon %
tv, have been partially wrecked or demol-
ished. Fully 100 people are crippled in
that section and under care of a doctor.
Probably the most damage done was at

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Durlng a terrible
storm early this morning the intermediate
crib of the new water tunnel. nearly three
miles out on the lake, was partly wrecked
by wind and waves. Men to the number
of twenty five working there sought shelter
On the roof OF the house, where they re
maine several hours, the waves dashing
over and freezing on them and in moment
airy expectation of being carried way.
Fortunately a tug went out early in the
forenoon with provisions and discovered
their plight. The force of the waves was
so great that the tug could not get near
the crib. but returned to the city and got
a life saving crew and boat and went back.
After a couple of hours hard work all
the men were taken off and brought to the
city. Some OF them were badly frost
bitten, but it is thought all are now out
