A TORNADO IN ALABAMA,
From Nine to Fifteen Persons Believed to
Have Lost Their Lives.

,srFcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISP ATcH.i
OZARK, ALA. April 20.-The upper portion
of Geneva county was visited by tornado
late this afternoon. A black funne-shaped
cloud was seen coming from the southwest, and
getting lower and lower as it ad-
vanced. When 1t struck the earth its for &c
was terrific and everything in its path was
swept away. Houses, barns and fences were
torn to pieces and their fragments scattered
in all directions. The track of the tornado
was only few hundred yards in width
when it first struck the earth, but
it made a clean sweep for seven miles. Then
the black mass of storm cloud rose, striking
the earth again two miles away. Fences and
houses were blown down for a distance of two
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 the
tornado had passed. Dead animals, pieces of
houses aud their furnishings were scat
tered in all directions. Giant forest
trees were torn asunder and broken
and twisted into splInters. The loss
of life was very small owing to the country be.
ing thinly populated, and the fact that the ter
rible roar of the storm was heard by
number of people in time for them
to get out of It's track. About 20 farm
houses with their barns and outhouscs
are reported destroyed and 100 head of cattle
and horses were massacred. One report places
the number of persons killed or fatally injured
at and another at Is The loss to property
will amount probably to $500

THE LEAGUE TO PARNELL,
Some Reasons Why n National Convention
should be Held This Year,

should be Held This Year.
ST. LOUIS, April 20-Just before the adjourn
ment of the Executive Committee of the Irish
National League, which held its meeting here
last week, they deputed DIR. Thomas O'Reilly,
of this city. to write to Mr.. John Dillon, men,
Der of Parliament. and ask him to procure the
consent of MI. Parnell to hold a convention of
the League in this country in the near future.
The doctor has addressed Mr. Dillon on the
subject referring to the work of the late con-
ventIou and stating that. as the present organ
iza.ion in this country is moribund, the neces-
sity for calling new convention is pressing
DR.. O'Reilly says:
THE apprehension feared by you on the other
side of the Atlantic that the disturbing element
on this side would do something calculated to
compromise the friendly relations existing be-
tween your party and the Liberals throughout
England Scotland and Wales is without foun-
dation. This element, though small in num-
bers, is noisy and makes itself heard o utside of
a deliberatlve body: but in convention it cuts
no figure for the reason that the conservative
sense of our people preponderates and would
not tolerate language calculated to embarrass
you in a policy likely to be successful and up to
this time has corrected many bad laws under
which the Irish people have suffered. We hold
ourselves subordinate to the Irish organization
controlled by Charles Stewart Parnell, and will
conform to any. proper course which may be
dictated by him."

A WHISTLlNG WE'LL
Which Indicates Approaching Storms by
Changing Its Tuneful Tones.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To TKE DIsPATCHi
JAMESTOWN, Pa, April 20.-In the town of
Great Valley, IN Cattaraugus county, there is
an interesting curiosity known locally as the
"whstling WE'LL" located on the farm of
Colonel Weston Flint. About 45 years ago the
well was dug by the Cooners father to the
depth of 45 feet, but no water accumulated, and
the well was put down as a fiat failure. A
strong current of air was noticed rushing into
the well at times, and at other times rushing
out OF it.
A fat stone with 15l-inch hole was fitted
over the hole and whistle placed in it. which
changed its tune as the air was drawn up or
down. This whistle proved a reliable weather
barometer. In settled weather the whistle was
SILENT but an approaching storm was heralded
by warning shrek of the whistle, as the air
rushed out of the well, but as clear weather ap-
preached the current of air changed and was
drawn into the well, and the faithful whistle
changed and told its story by It's changed tone.
The whistle has long since been worn out but
the well continues to tell the changes in the
weather. In rainy weather the well forces up
a stream of spray.

COMISKBY'S OPINION,
He Talks About the TENNIS and the NeN
Local Ball Grounds.

He Talks About the TENNIS and the New
Local Ball Grounds.
Captain Comiskey is delighted with his team
and is very confident of capturing the Players
League pennant. Although the team is play
ing very well just now he thinks they will do
better team work after little more playing.
He THINKS well of the Pittsburg team. In
speaking of the new grounds he expresses HIM
self to the effect that they will be among the
finest IN the land when finished. He, however,
says they are wretched to play on at present
and claims that the best infielders in the coun-
try are liable to make an error on every ball
knocked TO them across the diamond.
1t is likely that the ''sods" will all be re-
moved from the diamond until the local team
leaves on its first trip. Last evening Manager
Hanlon stated this would have to be DONE as 1t
was dangerous to try and field an infield hit at
present. The sodding is exceedingly uneven
and soft. 1t will. therefore, likely be removed
to-day and relaid when the team leaves home

Il am ready to wrestle the winner at the same

which they will contest. l have repeatedly
tried to secure a match with either of them
and they have always declined. l think i can
throw either Leonard OF Gallagher, and think
they are also of that opinion. because they

meet me it is because he is afraid"
