Kansas which wa visited Thursday by
q terrible cy clone and yesterday by q
terrible tornado. Dispatches tonight
do not report the loss of life other than
that as stated heretofore by the Asso.
ciated Press. Details of incidents of
disasters at various points presen
many strangeand some horrible features
One strange and at the same time
horrible fate was that which
overlook the family of Albert Eggers,
who lived on q farm ear Wamego. The
family had retired for the night when
the storm struck the house. The force
of the storm first moved the house from
it's foundation and dashed it to pieces
on the ground over 100 feet from it's
original positis n, and then carried away
the debris, &C that it was nearly impos
sible to tell where it's destruction had
taken place. Portions of the house have
been found at distances as far as q mile
from it's foundation. Pieces Of furni.
ture are scattered all about the place.
One chair, but slightly damaged, was
found nearly half 9 mile distant
from the location of the house.
Eggers was the only member Of the
family OF four who escaped death. Mrs
Eggers. who had been stopping with
her two children, were found nearly q
quarter of q mile srom the location
Ulasped in her arms was her 6 months
old babe. Both had apparently been
dashed to death on the ground and were
crushed and mangled in q horrible man.
mer. There was scarcely an unbroken
bone in either body. The faces Of both
presented the appearance of having
been powder burned. An examination
showed that the force Of the wind
had driven in their faces ana.

Of sand and dust were found. Egoers

wandering aimlessly about his farm
obliviCus of the injuries he had sus,
tanned. His right arm was broken and
he was badly bruised. He was
made % comfortable as possible
by those who eecaped injury and
soon recovered consciousness. When
told, however. Of the fate Of his wife and
children his mind wandered and finally
gave way under the terrible intelligence.
1t is not believed he can recover. and
even Il he does his reason will be gone

OLD TIME ~RAILROADERS.
One of Them Has Eeen IN Harness Ever
Since 1880.

Christopher Smith, who lives on
Maryland heights, opposite Harper's
ferry, is the oldest living locomotive en-
gineer on the continent, says the Dalti-
more Sun. The next Oldest is Joseph
York, of Mcadville, Pa. Samuel Double
day is the oldest living employee of the
Baltimore az Ohio and William Ijams
the next Oldest. Doubleday was the
first finisher ever employed in a railroad
shop in the country, and entered the
Baltimore & Ohio service in 1850. Jjams
was not long after him, and was the
first blacksmith in the company's en-
ploy. Doubleday subsequently, became
superint endent of the Winan shops and
Ijams foreman of the Winan smith
shops. The former is cighty-two and
the latter cighty-six years of age. Chris
topher Smith began with the Baltimore
q Ohio in 1881 as a driver, when there
was no steam power on the road, and in
1883 was q fireman on the Traveller, the
third locomotive placed upon the road,
and a year later became the engineered
the John Quincy Adams, n of the
earliest of the grasshopper engines. He
was In engineer two years before Ca
laway, the veteran Baltimore & Ohio
engineer, who died a year ago. Smith
is over eighty years Of age, and was for
nearly if not quite a full half century
in the Baltimore & Ohio service. lie is
a hale and hearty man for his extreme
ageand bears q striking resemblance to
the laterportraits of Washington. York
became q Baltimore & Ohio man in 1856, |
acting as a fireman upon one of the
grasshoppers, and in a short time was
running her as engineer. He is the
youngest man of the quartette, being
about s~cvcnty-eight, and SO we'll pre-
served and active as to be competent
to take a train regularly.

WORK OF CLEVER PEOPLE.

THE invention of drawing wire is
ascribcd to Rudolph of Nuremberg,
about 1410. Mills for this purpose were
first set up at Nuremburg in 1868. The
first wire mill in England was erected
in Mortlallc, in 1865.
HORSES in the German artillery and
cavalry regiments are now shod with
paper. The shoes are made by cement
ing forms of parchment paper together
and hardening them by hydraulic pres

A BELGIAN invention is a patent
whereby two blocl.3 of cork can be
securely clamped into an ordinary
horseshoe. 1t is claimed that the cork
viii last as long as the shoe, that it pre-
vents slipping and makes travelling
light and easy to the horse.
