A total of thirty-five days, six hours!
But these calculations include slow
stages of travel. Forty miles an hour
on the two great trans-continental roads
will reduce the time by more than five
days; and such time will certainly be
made in answer to commercial necessl-
ties. Already steamers swift as the
great Atlantic vessels are being Con-
structed for the great Pacific run.
Thus, by mechanical suppression OF

smaller for us.

large as that which greeted Governor Hill,
Senator Kenna, Governor Fleming and the
other distinguished Democrats who were
present Friday evening, owing in a great
measure to the very horrible weather, still
there were over 800 people in the house.
Senator Grady and Mr. Pendleton were
escorted from the Windsor Hotel 10 the
Grand Opera House by the Dung Men

organization turned out in large NUMBERS,
their enthusiasm not in the least dampened

DEATH FROM THE CLOUDS.
a rvrIora Which Will Ra Rennenn-
bered Down In Alabama.

OZARK, Ala, April 2l.-The upper portion
of Geneva county was visited by a destruc-
tive tornado Saturday afternoon. When it
struck the earth everything in its path was
swept away. Houses, barns and fences
were torn in pieces and their fragments were
carried up into the clouds to be scattered in
all directions.
The track of the tornado was only a few
hundred yards in width when it first struck
the earth, but it made clean sweep of ev-
erything for distance of seven miles. Then
the black mass Of storm clouds rose above
the earth again, and with roar louder than
thunder rushed on, striking the earth again
two miles away. When it struck the second
time its path was wider, but the force Of the
wind was not so great. Fences and houses
miles, and then the force of the storm seemed
to have been spent.
Over the path where it first struck the
earth horrible sight was presented when
tine tornado had passed. Dead animals and
pieces of houses and broken furniture were
Scattered in ali direction. Giant forest trees
were torn from their roots and broken and
twisted into Spliuters. The loss of life was
very small, owing to the country being thin
ly populated, and the fact that the terrible
roar Of the storm was heard by a number Of
people In time for them to get out of its
track. No towns were struck.
About 20 farm houses, with their barns
and outhouses, are reported destroyed, and
about 100 head of cattle and horses were
killed. One report places the number Of
persons killed or fatally Injured at nine, and
another at 10. No names have yet been OBJ
tanned, the path of the tornado being 20 miles
from the nearest telegraph office. Relief
parties went over the ground yesterday to
ascertain the full extent of the damage and
relieve the injured. The loss of property
will amount probably to $4,000.

MARSH DOESN'T WANT
A ASkeIeton In a Coffin Shipped to a
Massachusetts Man.

WALTHADI, Mass, April l21.-C0nsiderable dc
excitement was caused here last Saturday
evening over two mysterious boxes received
by Gibbs &c Co.'S Waltham express, and
marked Nv. w. Marsh, Waltham, Mass,
from w. A. RaymOld, New York"
One Of the boxes was very like that in
which coftius are shipped, and the other was
a merchandise case. They were taken to Mr..
Marsh, who is proprietor Of the Waltham
steam laundry and prominent citizen here,
and that gentleman absolutely refused to re-
ceiye them, stating that none Of his relatives
had recently died, and he was expecting
nothing of the sort. Consequently
they were taken to the express Office and
kept until this morning, when they were
tensely excited crowd of curiosity seekers,
who had heard Of the arrival Of the suspic-
ious looking articles, and In whose brains
visions Of foul play, smallpox and practical
Jokes were fighting for supremacy.
AS the cover OF the long, 0min0uS- looking
box was raised, nothing but excelsior pack
ing was exposed to view, and Editor III. T..
Browne, of the Waltham Daily Tribune, ,sug-
gested that perhaps after all there was moth
ing but merchandise in the box, and ran his
hand into the packing to investigate; He
quickly withdrew it, however, saying, "Boys
there's casket there" And, sure enough,
in another moment costly black broadclOth
covered casket burst upon the vision Of the
now breathlessly waiting onlookers.
The duty of raising the lid Of the casket
was undertaken by ex-Alderman Gibbs, who
confidently expecting to see corpse, was
somewhat startled upon beholding a skeleton
with the skull horribly staring him in the
face 1t was tina. of large man.
The skeleton was fastened at the head to
the casket by means Of hook in tie skull
and a ring in the wood. The teeth were in
perfect preservation, and the whole work Of
mounting the bones bespoke that of a pre-
fessional. The smaller box was supposed to
contain some paraphernalla for secret
lodge degree work, and possibly the skeleton
was intended for the same purpose. At all
events Mr.. Marsh on Saturday night pro-
fessed profound ignorance Of the intent Of
the sender, so the skeleton remains without
a claimant so far, and it will probably be
given in charge Of the authorities.

WATER FRoM THE GULF
Forced over the Land Around the
Crescent City.

NEW ORLEANS, April 21.-The gale has
driven Gulf water into Lake Pontchartrain
and tide waters have covered the roads lead
ing to the Spanish Fort and submerged the
sparsely settled section of the northeastern
suburbs of this city, doing some damage to
gardens, etc. About noon today the levee
gave way above the sugar house on S. T.
Wilkinson's Myrtle Grove place. In 20 min :
utes the break was said to be so feet wide
and the water was pouring through in an ir-
resistible torrent. The levee at that point i S
pretty high and much damage W i'll result.
The Nita crevasse is now more that 1000 feet
wide and eight to IA feet deep.
A special from Bayon Sara says the guards
reported that the levee had given away at
the foot of Fountain street. A general
alarm was sounded and people responded to
the call. This break was closed when it
was found the rising river was running over
the front levee. Every boat and raft was
brought into requision. The tavern is in
ruins. Not house escaped. 1t is raining
hard and the water is also running over a
large extent of country.

LONDON, April 21.--In the House OF Com
mons today Mr.. Parnell objected to the IT
Ism land purchase bill on the ground that
1t did not provide for carrying out what II
proposed, while 1t exhausted the only Irish
credit available. The bill, he declared, was
unsafe to the imperial taxpayers. Accord
ing to Mr.. Balfour's figures, relief could be
provided for only three-fourths OF the ten
ants. He further objected to the bill be
cause it would exhaust Irish credit without
the consent Of the Irish and without any
local control in the application Of the money
to be distributed under the provisions Of the
bill. With coercion applied as now the
tenant can never be free agent. The bill
did not deal with the congested districts.
Mr.. Parnell said the land question was not
so large as many people supposed, but they
could make 1t large by the method OF pur-
chase proposed Ireland contained IA, ,O0O, 900
acres Of land, the poor law valuation OF
which was 99,00O,0OO, amounting at 49, years
purchase to el66, 100000 pounds, which
amount would be necessary to provide this
solution Of the land question.
