r BY A CYCLONE.

The Town q Augusta, and What Was Lefe
Of Towaudn, Kan, sufer-Details.
AUGUSTA, Kan, May IA cyclone
struck this city about 0 o'clock last
night, completely demolishing the south

was occupied by small residences.
About twelve or fifteen buildings were
destroyed. The Santa Fe stock yards
were blown down, and the wires run
ming into the Santa Fe depot are all
down. Ellsworth Hadley had his leg
broken and Frank Marsh and Stephen
Crane were slightly injured.
The cloud could be seer forming west
Of the city about Sis o'clock. Owing to
this timely warning everybody who
could get into a cave or cellar did so.
Several houses are reported blown down
in the country west Of the city. No loss
Of life is reported. AS reports OF h
cyclone come in from the country west
of here IL appears that the storm started
about seven miles southwest on John
kibby's farm very near the same point
Of the storm about q month ago that
| destroyed the town Of Towanda.
II tore down the Kibby house, occu-
| pied by 2. c. Lanard, and from there
travelled toward town, demolishing the
| farm houses Of Mcssrs. Golf, Argo, Hite,
Cloud and a barn belonging TO MIR.
Simpson, cutting a swath through the
heavy timber as it crossed the
| White Water. Twelve houses were
wrecked in town, many of them
torn TO pieces. They were
occupied by Mr.. Pratt, Frank Miner,
Andrew Martin, William. Schlosser,
George Clippinger, Marcelus Davis.
William Easley, David Feltham and
Mrs. Robert Clark. Joe Reeds and
Henry Walkers stables were blown to
pieces. The storm passed northeast
from here, destroying n house on the
Sanders place, four miles from town.
Mrs. Larned had three children badly
injured.
ELDoRADo, Kan, May IA severe
wind visited this part of the state the
other night. Although noone was killed
or injured considerable damage was
done TO property in some localities. At
Towanda, the village that was almost
wiped from the face of the earth April
/ a few Of the rickety buildings left
standing were blown down. The wind
was terribly strong here and everybody
looked for a cyclone, but fortunately It
! did not come. The rain still continues
here and the rivers are all swollen.

J. Henderson, Of Illinois. G.. Fred Will
liams, Of Massachusetts,, n. c. Blanch-
ard, Of Louisiana, John c. Tarsney, of
Missouri and Bellamy Storer, Of Ohio,
who is also taking part in the deepwater
ways convention which Is in session
here.
At an early hour the city was astir
and by 8 o'clock the floats which were
TO take part In the procession were on
hand. The procession, some three miles
or more In length, formed promptly Mt
Q o'clock and began to move shortly
afterward. Every department Of the
city government was represented, as
were also every secret society and bust
ness house. The procession was about
two hours in passing and after travers-
ing the business portion of the city pro-
cceded to the bridge, arriving shortly
before IL o'clock.
Then George w. Morrison, of Chicago,
chief engineer of the great structure.
began the ceremonies by motioning to
an engineer seated within his engine,
and in a minute a procession of eight.
cen locomotives amid cheering started
on the bridge. The engines were all
bedecked with the national colors and
represented the Gulf road and the
| others the nine other lines centcring In
the city. At II o'clock the test Of the
bridge was made by distributing eight
cen locomotives at different points
where the greatest strain would come
and the detection was scarcely percep.
tible.
After the engines had crossed a special
train with officials of the Kansas City
Il Memphis road and distinguished per
sons, started ont from each shore. The
one from the Tennessee side bore Gov
zens and the One from the Arkansas
side Gov. Eagle and staff, with dis
tinguished Arkansans. In the cente,
Of the bridge they met, Joined hands
and the work of successfully bridging
the Mississippi was declared accom-
plished.
In the evening there was a grand II
Illuminated parade Of thirty allegorica
floats illustrating the early history
progress and present condition of tn,
city of Memphis.
The secretary Of the navy accepted
the bridge in the name of the govern
ment, saying that 1t had been construct
ed in accordance with the act of con
gress permitting it. 1t was also accept
ed of the construction company by the
bridge company.

wATERSPoUT IN HUNGARY.

twenty-five Miners Were In .
Pit-Other Lives Lost.
PEsrH, May IAN immense water
spout burst yesterday in the neighbor-
hood Of the collierics situated in the
city of Fucnfkirchen, the capital Of the
county of Paranya. The huge volume
of water inundated the surrounding
country and poured in a great stream
in the mines, flooding them in q very
short time and causing u terrible loss Of
life.
The water poured into the mines SO
quickly that the unfortunate men who
were engaged ut work In the lower level
received no warning of their danger
and before they had q chance to escape
they were struggling in the torrent
which had almost instantaneously en-
quilted them. They struggled desper-
ately to reach the shafts or main parts Of
the mines, which seemed likely to If
ford q place of safety, but the water
rose higher and in a short time every
venue of escape was cut off and the
men persisted miserably.
1t is known that twenty-five men are
dead in one pit alone and that many
more have lost their lives at other
points.
Owing to the great excitement which
prevails in the place it is impossible to
obtain nm exact list Of the dead, but it
will probably reach startling proper
tionk,

TO SOLIDlrY BASEBALL.
A Bonding Scheme 10 be Tried by the New
York Club.

NEW YoRK, Dec. pa number of
stockholders in the New York Baseball
Club met at the Broome street store of A.
G.. Spalding & Bros, and engaged in a
thorough discussion of the clubs financial
condition. The main object of the meeting
was to devise some scheme to extricate the
club from the present financial difficulties,
and after considerable talk scheme was
hit on by which it is hoped to place the club
on a rock basis of solidity and prosperity.
The first thing considered was a state
ment of the financial condition of the club,
which showed a del in round numbers of
s:'3 900, the greater part of which was due
to PLAYERS for arrears of salaries. The
PLAYERS to whom salaries are due now hold
notes drawn at seven months time.
large number of suggestions were offered
as to the speediest and best method of
Strengthening out the tangle, but the ore
which was finally adopted originated with
F. b. Robinson and +. b. Talcott.
This plan calls for the issuance of $50
600 worth of bonds at 6 per cent, payable
in years time. Each stakeholder will be
permitted to subscribe for these bonds in
the proportion of 10 per cent. of their hold
ings of the stock If any of the stock
holders fail to take bonds, those not taken
will be divided among the stockholders will
ing to take them The effect will be to put
the bondholders in control of the club.

Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary.

THURSDAY was the t,0th anniversary of the
wedding of Hon and Mrs. William x.
Smith and during the afternoon and even
ing their hospitable home on Elm street was
thronged with friends who called to con-
graduate them on happy married lite u
half century and wish them many more
anniversaries. Fifty years ago yesterday
Mr.. Smith AMI Miss Cochrane were mar
ried at Bangor but have lived in this city
respected and beloved of very vile
circle of friends. The large number of those
who took occasion to call Yesterday must
have been very gratifying TO Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith. Though so years Of age Mr.. Smith
looked years Younger in the pleasure he
felt in welcoming his guests assisted by
Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith is several years
Younger than her husband, but bears her
years with equal grace. Mr.. Smith said
that the event you'd not have been cele-
brated even in this informal manner had ii
not been for several of their friends who
desired II, anu IltN phtu tAptt sneN thtii
gratitude for the kind assistance of Mrs.
Charles Milliken, Mrs. Hichborne, Mrs. j.
+. Hill and others. Mr.. Smith said that
the event Numerically brought to bis mind
the fact that very many of his old friends
and acquaintaaces hal passed away within
a few years. 1t was Noticeable, however
that among the caller were many young
gentlemen ami ladies'. Mr.. and Mrs Smith
have always retained fresh interest in the
weif.re of their Younger friends than
whom rome are more welcome at their
home. There were numerous elegant gifts
received. many of them being flowers At
evening the 80 candles surrounding the
large welding cake we're lighted, atforiinz
a very attractive FEATURE of the occasion,

BREEDING REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.
No Doubt that Formidable Movement Is in
Progress.

MONTEREY. Mexico. Dee cit was
learned here that Cecilio Salinas, who was
sentenced to three years imprisonment by
the federal court at san Antonio, Texas,
for violation of the nitesi States neutrality
laws. spent the months of august, Septem-
Der and October in Monterey and at other
points in the interior OF Mexico working up
a sentiment for the revolutionary move
ment which was recently started on the Rio
Grande border. He was at that time under
Indictment nv the | nited states federal
court and was out on bond-
He is know TO have spent fully two months
in the different military camps IN the north
ern part of the republic and 10 have dlstri-
buted secretly large amount OF revolution
ary literature. lie is believed 10 have
secured many adherents TO the cause among
the army officers who stand ready 10 Join
the movement the moment the time arrives
! for the uprising and invasion.
I The high military and federA officials in
this city no longer attempt TO conceal the
fact they fear that there are turbulent times
in store for Norther Mexico IN the near
future. 1t has also been authortaiively
| learned by Gen. Bernardo Reyes, governor
/ of the state of Nueva Leon and commando,
! of this military zone, that Julian Flores, who
! ,mmanded one of the divisions of Catarina
Garza's revolutionary army has been in
Mexico for the past seven months, and that
he even had the boldness to visit the City
| of Mexico where he is believed to have had
secret conferences with the leaders of the
| Clerical Party, which has been SO severely
oppressed under President Diaz's admins
tration. Flores is now thought to be in the
vicinity of Matam0ras, in the state of Tam
aulipas. He is a wealthy and educated mar
and is regarded in Northern Mexico as be
| ing Just the person to undertake the bold
game that is now being played
| Another significant fact in connection
with the recent revolutionary outbreak il
| that Alexandra Gefzales, the fa,her-in-laN
of Catarina Cara. six weeks ago raiset
S2G 900 in cash by mortgaging his exten
sve ranch properties in Texas. The mort
gage was filed in the clerks office at Nuece'
county. Many people here think that thi'
amount has gone into the fund to forward
