DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
A Furious Storm Wrecks WiIkesbsrre
Pennsylvania.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, August 19.-At
five o'clock this afternoon the most terri
BILE cyclone that was ever experienced in
this locality struck this city. 1t came up
the river. From what point it originated
is not now known. The suddenness of
its coming was one of its most awful fea-
lures. The heavens were as black as
night, and the wind blew with most
frightful velocity. Whole rows of trees
were blown down. Following this, hun
dreds of houses were unroofed, partially
blown over or completely demolished,
and, worse than all, the visitation of
death was sent upon number of people.
How many were killed is not known at
this time. Large districts in several
sections of the city are in absolute ruin,
and the women and children are in the
streets crying and wringing their hands
in absolute dismay. The damage will
reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Passenger trans and locomotives at the
depot were blown over, and every wire
in the city-electric light, telephone and
telegraph-is down. The devastation Is
to be compared with nothing in the
memory of the Oldest inhabtant, Every
body is rejoicing that no fires have as yet
| followed, for the streets are impossible
with trees and fallen buildings, and the
engines could not be drawn through
| them.
The total death loss so far as ascertain
ed is twelve. Four men are known to
have been killed in the Hazard Wire Rope
I Works. A house on Scott street Occupi-
ed by MIXERS who had just returned from
work, fell in, and three of the inmates
were killed. The huge stack of the Kyle
| planning mill fell on a man and two horses
| and all were killed. A little calored girl
was killed by falling building on South
Main street. Two men suffered death by
the falling of a portion of Stegmaier'
brewery, and third incurred the same
fate ihrou5h the almost complete demo
lition of S. l.. Browns handsome brick
business block, on East Market street
There are undoubtedly fifteen or sixteen
others killed. Reports are coming con
stantly to that effect. 1t is impossible al
this time to give names or particulars
Many poor people have suffered heavy
losses. One hundred tinroofers have
been telegraphed for, and building me-
chanics of all kinds can find employment
here for weeks to come. 1t is already
known that fully two hundred buildings
have been blown down or otherwise dam
aged. Many of the structures were o
large size and great value.

A Democrat can vote everywhere in
he United States and have his vote
counted. He enjoys his rights equally
in Kansas and Vermont, Texas and
South Carolina. There are large sec
tons of the Union whsre Republican
cannot vote, and still larger ones where
his vote, If cast, is not counted. The
Constitution guarantees to every citizen
of the United States, irrespective of
locality, the right to vote and to have
that vote counted honestly. The Ma
tional Election bin simply seeks to
secure this right to those citizens OF the
United States who have been deprived
OF it. Why do the Democrats object

1t is very difficult to judge what eff
feet the new element In politics, known
as the Farmers Alliance will have. So
many similar schemes have died out as
speedily as they grew and left no mark
of their presence that it is hard to think
that the present organization will have
a better fate Yet in several States it
has already overturned the older par
ties, and several of the present Demo
cratic Congressman will give up their
seats TO Alliance candidates. This is
noticeably true in the South. In
Georgia and Alabama the Alliance peo-
pie appear to have full control; they
have captured the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor in Tennessee and in
South Carolina they seem likely to sue
coed. They claim that they will have
20 or 80 members in the next House
of Representatives, and that they will
hold the balance of power both there
and in several close States like Indiana
If their boast should be we'll founded
they will bring INTO politics new and
troublesome element which will injure
both the old parties and make legisla-
ton on financial affairs especially diff
cult. 1t seems impossible that party,
with no better foundation principles
than a "platform of beatitudes" and a

A YOUNG LADY'S SUICIDE.
The Death of Miss Williams in an Asylum
Near Philadelphia

Miss Allison d. Williams, a we'll Unknown
society girl of Baltimore. committed
Friends Insane Asylum at Frankfort
just outside of Philadelphia. Miss Will
liams for several year past has taught in
the school of the Misses Hall, on Park
avenue. She has been in poor health.
Early last spring soon after the school
closed, Miss Williams health became
shattered. She was placed under the
care of physician, but she rapidly grew
worse. For long time her friends were
loath to part with her. The most skilled
physicians tried to check the progress of
unsafe to be at large, and was sent to
the asylum. Sorrow that had attacked
her mind in the form of melancholia,
with intermittent spells of violence,
aged her in appearance, but did not to-
tally eliminate the traces of beauty that
were hers in young womanhood.
During her confinement at the asylum
she slightly improved, and her friends
were allowed TO visit her, but at times
she was very violent. On Sunday morn
ing one of the nurses purchased guam
tity of insect powder to exterminate
reaches. The poison was left within
easy reach by an attendant, and while no
one was around Miss Williams seized the
first real opportunity to accomplish her
ever-present intention of self destruction.
Had she been discovered more quickly life
might have been prolonQe ed, but she was in
a death like stupor before medical assist
ance reached her. Every effort was made
to save her life, but to no purpose. She
deld soon after being discovered. Her
relatives and friends in Baltimore were
notified of her death.
Yesterday Coroner Ashbridge held an
inquest. The evidence showed that one
of the attendants on Sunday afternoon
met Miss Williams staggering along the
corridor and vomiting. The head attend
ant was notified, when it appeared that
her vomiting was of serious nature. A
speedy investigation developed the fact
that the patient had been in charge of an
attendant. who left her momentarily to
get skirt out of closet. In this closet
there was bottle of insect powder, and
in some manner the patient obtained

FIFTEEN WERE KILLED.


BosToN, August ia serious accid-
ent happened to the Cape Colony and
Woods Holl train on the Old Colony at
Quincy at one o'clock this afternoon.
The train jumped the track one hundred
feet on the other side of PRESIDENT
bridge. The first passenger coach fell on
the engine, the latter having toppled
over. The engine set fire to the train.
The fireman was instantly killed and the
engineer fatally injured.
As far as can be learned there were
eight passengers killed and about twenty
injured. The latter are for the greater
part injured by escaping steam, having
been frightfully scalded. The Quincy
Fire Department was called to the scene
as quickly as possible. and shortly after
wards the fire was extnguished. The
dead and wounded were removed from
the scene, the latter being taken
hospital. The scene of the accident
is near the scene of the frightfu1
Woolaston disaster of a few years ago.
The train was the Vineyard Express, due
in Boston at Ito, and consists of five or
six parlor and passenger cars, usually
fully loaded. 1t is usually running at forty
miles an hour at this point.
William Fenneli, house builder of
Boston, was passenger in the fourth
car of the train. 1t was in this car, he
says, that most of the casualties occurred
The train was running though Quincy
at the rate of thirty miles an hour. When
near Presidents bridge there was
rumbling sound, followed by an awful
crash The three forward cars lurched
and left the track. The fourth kept the
rails, and swept right along upon the
broken locomotive, which lay in it's way.
forcing itself right on top of it. The
shock was terrific, and 1t seemed as if the
car went up twenty feet IN the air. When
the car descended on the engine it swirl
ed suddenly over, the occupants being
thrown violently about. The boiling
steam came into the car in dense clouds
from the locomotive beneath, scalaing
and almost suffocating the people penned
inside.
In the descent of the car a hole was
torn in the bottom of it, through which
many of the forty or fifty people were
taken out. Mr., Fennelly thinks
six or seven persons were killed, and
twenty. five slightly injured. He thinks
the accident was caused by the spreading
of the rails.
