Trees Torn Up by the Roots.
SPRINGFIELD, O., June 4.-Word has
just reached here of one of the most de.
structive cyclones that ever visited this
section of the country. The disaster
occurred Thursday afternoon in Moore
field, Harmony and Springfield town
ships, and the damage to crops, forests,
farm buildings and orchards will run
up into the tens of thousands.
During heavy thunderstorm two
black clouds approached from the west
anu came together seemingly on John
Yeazell's farm, about miles from this
city, in Springfield township. A wind
at once arose, the electrical disturbance
increased, and the country for miles
around was lighted up. A heavy down
pour accompanied the storm.
The cyclone was half a mile wide and
cut down trees like a knife and literal
ly tore the corn, wheat and oats out of
the ground. The section of the country
where the cyclone occurred is noted for
it's sugar camps, hundreds of acres
being planted in sugar maple trees, and
these were destroyed. Lewis Huff
mans sugar camp was completely de-
molished. Jacob Yeazell's barn COM
pletely wrecked. An orchard belong
ing to George Nicholson was runined
and fences and outbuildings by the
score were laid low.
The force of the wind may be Judged
from the fact that it tore up an i'm
mense old oak on John YeazelIs farm
and hurting it along in the air dashed
it against another oak, crushing it off,
and then planted the oak top down in
the ground some hundreds of yards
away. No fatalities have thus far. been

Almost Impossible for Rescuers to Enter
the Burning Gutenberg Mine.
PRAGUE, June 4.-Now that the ex-
element has died out to great extent
and inquiries have been made among
the survivors it is estimated that fully
400 Of the employees lost their lives at
the Birkenberg silver mine.
Among those who were killed were
five students from the mining academy,
who were studying the working of the
mine to gain practical knowledge of
mining operations. Gas continues to
form in great volumes in the mine, and
the Maria shaft is so filled with
it that the volunteers who are seek
ing to recover the bodies are greatly
hampered in their work. In fact, it is
: thought now that it will be fortnight
before all the bodies will be taken
out. Trenches large enough to hold
$50 bodies are being dug in the church
yards, in which the dead will be buried.
Many of the dead will never be identi-
fed, and this adds to the sorrow and
mourning that is so general throughout
the district
