A tank car of the United States Fish
Commission arrived in Pensacola Satur-
day night and is now located on track
Of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
at the end of railroad wharf. This car is
in charge of Capt Lamson, who is con
nected with the commission. He is &C
companied by james Il. Benedict, a
naturalist from the national museum at
Washington and two or three other as
sistants. The government is anxious to
make a full display of live fish from the
Gulf Of Mexico at the worlds fair and
the commission has selected Pensacola as
the point at which the best and most
varied selection of those fishes for which
the waters of the gulf are famed, can be
obtained. Tho fact that Pensacola Is the
greatest fish market on the gulf is an as
surance to Capt. LamsOn that he will be
able to obtain there the choicest selec-
ton of fish worthy of the govern
ments exhibit in the great exposition.
The plan that has been adopted by the
party is 10 make trips to the gulf on the
government launch Penrose, attached to
the Pensacola custom house, accompa-
MED by fishing schooner in charge of
experienced fishermen. Special efforts
will be made to obtain good specimens of
the red snapper, which has national
reputation as food fish, and will make a
splendid display in the huge aquarium of
live sea fish at the fair. If possible,
specimens of the pompanO, sheephead,
blue fish, etc, will be captured
The car is furnished with tanks which
will be filled with sea water. Into these
the fish will be placed alive, and as the
run to Chicago will be made in about two
days there is no fear but that the fish
will be landed alive and in good cOndi-
ton at the government building in jack

Edgetield county. South Carolina. was
in Augusta Tuesday. Mr.. Golf went to
w. H. Nurnberger's store, where he does
his trading, and not knowing the story,
be asked if policeman by the name Of
Parker had been murdered i'm Augusta
Mr.. Nurnbcrgcr told Mr.. Goff the circum-
stances of the killing and then the Caro-
linian informed Mr. Nurnbcrger he had
been requested by his ncighbor, Mr.
Grisham, to make inquiry into the mat
ter as Grisham had told him he had a
strange negro on his farm who had told
him that while he had not killed Police
man Parker in Augusta, he did know the
negro who had murdered the officer and
that was his reason for running Off. Mr.
Gof has the negro, and the description
given by him tallies exactly with the des-
cription Policeman Parker gave of the
man who shot him. Mr. Nurnberger sent
for Chief of Police Hood, who held a con
ference with Mr.. Con, and this result is
that an officer was sent 20 Grisham's
plantation, thirty-two miles from Au-
gUsta, to arrest the negro. As there were
no witnesses to the killing, it is believed
if the negro now in Carolina knew who
slew the officer he must be the murderer
himself, and after committing the deed
fed for safety over the river.

A BALL OF FIRE.
Two Pi0wmen Near Carthage Stunned
In a Thunderstorm.

CARTHAGE, Mo-, April 13.-This
afternoon a heavy thunderstorm
passed over the city and at the same
time a ball of fire fell in a field where
two men were blowing. They were
going in opposite directions and did
not observe the approaching strange
formation, nor were they aware of it
until the horses ran away. C. A.
Emory, who was planting corn 200
feet away, heard a ~whizzing noise,
and looking up saw the ball of fire
descending, whirling like an auger,
and soon it plowed the earth near
the men, and, although an effort
to trace it was made, it was buried
out of sight. Both men were tenn
porarily stunned.

Mr.. J. V. Williams, Mexico, Mo.
CANT, No., April 13.-DEARS SIR:
| write to give you an account
of the wreck and ruin wrought by
the tornado or cyclone which passed
over this section at 10 O'Clock p.
m. on the 18th. One-half mile
southwest of my house VIM. Leach's
barn containing s horses was COM
pletely wrecked, and yet not one of
the animals was injured; his dwell
ing was also badly injured, the outer
walls being spread several inches.
His buggy-house was also demolish-
ed leaving the buggy and spring
wagon badly damaged where the
house had stood. Tom B~ratton's
new barn was partly blown from the
foundation and badly damased.
Robert Shelton's buggy-house was
wrecked and the buggy
top blown away no one knows where.
VIM. Mckenzie's large new barn
containing 6 or S horses was COM
pletely wrecked ;none of the animals
were injured but a valuable stallion
running loose in the lot was killed by
piece of timber blown through
him. A tenant house belonging to
Bart Cox was blown into kindling
wood this was a vacant house. Nat
Wilcox's chicken house was blown
down. Now the above described
wrecks are all in plain view of my
house. l have been too busy build
ing fence to go around to see the ex-
tent of the damage that has been
done. All the rail fence in the
neighborhood is down. My indi-
vidual loss is trifiing compared with
my nelghbors. l stood against a
door during the storm and Iexpect-
ed every minute the house would
be blown to pieces. l have faced
death many times in my life but |
must confess that this was one of
the most. exciting times l eve saw.
But thank God we are all alive and
unhurt and there has been no loss
of human life SO far as I know.
Yours Truly,
nj. G.. FLYNT.

SEVENTEEN DEAD.
Cyclone and Flames Mt RObinsOnyiIIp,
MIss.-Large Property, Loss.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 13.-1'he
destruction by last nights cyclone
at Rob1nsonville, Tunica County i,
Miss, 20 miles south of here, was
terrible. The total list of the killed
numbers II and fully half a hundred
were injured many of them so terri
bly, that death is but a question of a
few hours.
The store came from two diree-
tions..east and west. Each was
heralded by a dark, funnel-shaped
mass of swiftly revolving clouds,
rising from the ground their widest
portion being high in the air. These
two demons of the air met directly
over the center of the town, and then
descended with increditable swift
ness, continuing their rotary mo-
ton. Death and destruction follow
ed. The wind tore up huge trees like
weeds.
A few minutes after the cyclone
struck the town fire broke out in the
debris of a Chinese laundry and the
mass of wreckage caught and burn
ed all night. Several bodies of those
killed by the falling buildings were
burned to a crisp.
The property loss in the town will
reach 100000. Thirteen stores,
II residences and 100 negro cabins
were destroyed, and not one house
was left. Over 100 negroes re-
ceived injuries and some of them
will die.

Cyclones and Wind.


Of course cyclones are dangerous
but wind, If there is too much of it,
is very lear as bad. Here is a little
plain talk with the wind left out. l

$25, 900 worth of goods at half price.
But l have got enough goods to di-
vide and will sell them as cheap as
any man they are all for sale. Here
are some of the goods | carry: Hats,
anything you want, mems furnish
ing goods as good line as any house
carries in the county. Ladies
hosiery and underwear, a big line,
and when it comes to shoes, if you
have never heard of Mack's shoes,
you either never read a paper or
your neighbors are a long ways off.
In fact, you will find as good line of
goods at McLoney's as any house in
the county. Now, here is where
the fun comes in: Mack won't buy
your produce at any price, neither
will he sell you goods on time, but
if you have got the money and want
to spend it where you can do the
most good for yourself you will un-
doubtedly investigate at McLoney's
before you buy. Now one more
word: McLoney can afford to sell
you goods for less money than any
house in the county. Why? First,
because he sells for cash. Second,
his expenses are less. Third, the
goods are bought right from first
hands. He can do it. Come and
see it he will. MCLoNEY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 49,
Colonel Dick Dalton had a long and
satisfactory interview with the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to-day. He
had not yet called upon the Presi-
dent, but expects to meet the chief
magistrate tomorrow in company
with the two Missouri Senators.
Colonel Dalton had the full tran
script of the court proceedings in
the case that has been raised against
him and laid it before Secretary Car
Isle, who examined it closely and
retained it for further examination.
Colonel Dalton explained the case
fully to Secretary Carlisle and re-
eeived assurances from him that it
would be thoroughly investigated,
and that the anonymous charges
would have no weight if not borne
out by the full transcript of the
court proceedings. Colonel Dalton
spent most of the day in Sightseeing
with Champ Clark. He was at the
Capitol for some time and then Wis
tied most of the departments. He
saw how Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Maxwell welded the ak
and how Secretary Morton broke up
sinecures. He saw how Hoke
Smith was plagued with office-seek-
ers and witnessed the crowd that
continually demanded admittance
to the private office of Secretary La
mont. The Colonel has not yet
assembled the Washington Monu-
ment, but expects to do so before
he returns home.
