LEON. IA, Aug. 10.-A cyclone swept
over this portion of Decatur county yester-
day, causing great damage In this town
the streets and yards were Uttered with
fallen trees, and in many instances
impossible. The opera house and
school-house were unroofed a1i two houses
in the southern part OF the town were COM
pletely demolished. Fences, sidewalks and
outhQuses were lifted up and carried away
by the wind. The failing trees wrecked
telegraph, telephone and electric light wires.
and the town was In darkness last night.
A CAMP MEETING IN PROGRESS.
About half Of the citizens of this place
were attending camp meeting at Davis
City, ten miles distant, in a grove on the
banks Of the Grand river. Fully 5000 peo-
pie were in attendance. The storm struck the
grove suddenly, aud in a moment all was
dark as night. Huge forest trees swayed
ard fell crashing to the earth and
broken branches were hurled by the wind
through the crowded asssmblage with ter
rife force. The tabernacle was crushed
under the weight of two giant OAKS, and all
tho SEATS and stands were demolished.
Several cottages were also damaged. some
being unroofed and others being crushed by
the fallen trees.
NO LIVES LOST.
In spite Of the suddenness and force Of the
gale, however, no one was killed and only a
few were slightly bruised by the flying
debris.
1t is feared that when the reports are re-
ceiyed from the country districts they will
bring news Of the loss of life. Such news
as has been received is TO the effect that the
damage to crops is heavy. Corn has been
beaten tn the earth, stacks blown away and
fences demolished.

TOO WEAK TO TALK
The Rescued Miners Taken
to the Surface.
THEIR REcovERY.w1LL BE SLOW
Tenderly Cared for by Friends in Pub
lie Hall at GAINESVILLE.

A Procession OF Miners Sing the DoxOl-
ogy-ImpOssIble to Get q Statements
from Any OF the Men-Thoy Are So
Weak that q Simple Movement of the
Head is impossible.
HAzELToN, Pa, Feb. 25.-The four
miners who were drawn as from the
grave in the dark recesses of the Jeanes-
Vile mine, were brought to the surface
at 5o'clock, and taken to the Sons of
Temperance Hall at GAINESVILLE.
1t was indeed strange but glad
hearted procession. Many of the miners
had not had their clothes off for days and
weeks, so vigorously was the search
prosecuted. The hall is about one mile
from the slope, and the road passes the
residence of j. G. Hayden, the proprie-
tor of the mine. When the procession
of men with lamps burning on their
mining hats arrived in front of their
employers home some began to sing the
Doxology, and the company of miners
and people Joined in the refrain, praise
God from whom all blessings flow."
Used Her Cancels Hair Shawl.
Mrs. Hayden and family came outside
and accompanied the party to the hall,
where, upon the beds, blankets and COM
fortables were placed over and around
the men, and in the excitement of the
moment Mrs. Hayden took from her own
body heavy camel's hair shawl and
wrapped it around one of the men. A
rag moistened with lime juice was
placed to their lips and they eagerly
grasped it. Then small doses of brandy
and milk were given them, but only a
spoonful at a time. In a short time the
four men were quietly sleeping.
Too Weak to Talk.
OF course, it is simply impossible to
get a statement from any of the men,
Their weakened condition prevents it,
and the physician in charge has posi-
lively forbidden any conversation with
them. All the men are so weak that a
simple movement of the head is impossi-
BILE. How they lived through the 10 long
weary days Is the question. The dinner
in their pals would have been sufficient
to sustain life for eight days, perhaps, if
dealt out sparingly. What they lived
on the remainder of the time is various
1y conjectured. The oil in some of their
lamps was not entirely consumed, but
in the terrible torture of hunger they
overlooked that fact.
Tho Miners Future Movements.
The terrible tale of their suffering will
hardly be made public for several days,
as with the most favorable improvement
hoped for none of the men will be strong
enough to talk. Much comment is heard
as to the future movements of the res
cued men should they be returned to
health and strength. Already parties
are eager to secure them and exhibit
them from place to place and have them
relate the sufferings of that awful time.
All reports ofinterviews with che res
cued miners are pure "fakes." They are
resting quietly, but cannot talk. The
pulses of all but "Big Joe' have improv-
ed in the past few hours. He appears to
be growing weaker. Two professional
nurses have arrived and will look after
the man
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-02-25

ONE of the bits of wisdom which Lin
coin crystalized In a humorous form is
worthy of attention at this time. In the
early days of the war, before the coun-
try was ripe for emancipation as a war
measure, delegation of Chicago clergy
men waited upon President Lincoln, at
Washington, and urged him to issue a
proclamation abolishing slavery. The
president listened to them attentivelv,
and then asked the apparently irrelevant
question: Call a sleeps tail leg, and
how many legs will the sheep have?"
Five" answered several of the clergy
men in unrcflecting chorus. ono" re-
piled Lincoln, mot five, but four, for
calling tail leg won't make it a leg. 5"
The point which his story illustrated
was that proclaiming slavery abolished
would not abolish it that the institu-
tion could be ended only by the exercise
of the executive power backed up by
ornaments greater than the federal
government then possessed. The pro-
foundly philosophic witticism of Lin
coin is strikingly applicable at the
present time as an answer to the vision
aries that claim that by calling so cents
worth of silver dollar the government
can give to the metal 90 cents worth of
value which it did not before possess.
But this is thing which governmental
proclamation can never do.

On February 10 the Associated Press
announced through all the papers that
the acting secretary of the treas
ury had the day before issued warrants
for the payment of 81, 200, 900 on account
of pensions aggregating $50, 900, 900 due
during the quarter ending March 4. The
latter amount represents the available
cash balance of the treasury, so that the
only treasury surplus that will exist
after these payments shall have been
met will be the excess of receipts over
other expenditures during that period,
