ON the RELIEF TRAIN.
An Exciting Journey to a scene Of
widespread Ruin.

LOUISVILLE. KY. March 2S.--It is very
evident that 1t was not cyclone that caused
the destruction, as its effect was too wide
spread. For miles In either direction OF the
city occasional roofs were torn off and the
trees lifted out Of the ground by the roots.
As the special train sped toward the fated
city bearing Associated Press representatives
from indianapolis the evidences were first
noticeable fully 80 miles out. First came to
view an occasional dead tree broken In pieces.
then larger and more substantial trees, and
finally monarchs Of the forest. A few miles
south Of Henryville, about 21 miles from
Louisville, lay an engine with its great siron
nose plunged into bed Of soft, yellow mud.
On the opposite side lay the massive tender.
and behind 1t two coaches, tipped over on
comb col II vas xais the wreck yQt tsail Aa
apolIs and Louisville. The train was making
the best time possible in the heavy wind.
when 1t struck birch tree that had been
torn up by the roots and flung across the
track. No one was injured. When the scene
Of the disaster was reached an ap-
palling sight was presented. Crowds of peo-
pie thronged the Fourteenth Street Station,
and from there up Main street TO the heart
OF the city, was mass OF humanity lodging
horses. street cars and all sorts Of vehicles in
the middle Of the street, on either side OF
which was the wreck and ruin. Great masses
Of brick and stone In heaps presented the ap-
pearance Of having crumbled to earth. PO-
licemen were Stat1Onca as ss-aAt crossinps to
prevent people from attempting % p~-s-
through the ruined thoroughfare, where par

THE MAINE STATE PRESS
WILD WITH ANGER.
Americans insuIted by the Police Of
the Eternal City.

New YORK, March 2S.-A Rome special to
the Herald says that Americans in the Eter-
nal City are wild with anger over an outrag-
eous incident. The wife of wealthy Cali
fornian, who is living at the Hotel Royal,
went into the store of Fernando Di Giovanni
No. 103 Via Barberine, to examine some CO.
raj and shell ornaments. She was accompa-
MED by her daughter and two other Ameri-
can ladies. After looking over various tri-
fies offered for sale, they were in the act of
leaving when the merchant claimed to have
missed some petty ornament, and made a
great outcry.
The ladies were indignant at the idea of
being suspected, but Di Giovanni called the
gendarmes and had the whole party taken
through the streets to the police station.
Here the ladies burst into tears and protest
ed against the disgrace brought upon them
without the slightest proof. Consul General
Bourn heard Of the matter, and in half an
hour Vice Consul Wood was at the station.
A committee of American gentlemen hur-
ried down from the Hotel Quirinal, to assist
in the work of extricating the ladies from
their humiliating position.
In the meantime, Di Giovanni had signed
an accusation. Then he was Joined by
friend, who also keeps a store, and who
thought he remembered seeing the ladies in
his establishment just before something dis
appeared. When the merchants learned
that they were accusing people of high posi-
tion and wealth, they withdrew their charges
and signed an apology.
