Destruction of life and Property
Worse Than at First Reported.
ATLANTA, Ga. March 6.-Reports Of
the cycionic visitation to Western
Georgia. while not full as to details,
show it to have been terrible in its Of
fects. The cyclone seems to have struck
the state near West Point. The first
serious trouble was at Greenville. in

house has been swept to the ground.
The college there is mass of ruins, half

OF the town are wrecks. The storm

sued an appeal to the public for aid.
The appeal states that great suffering is
reported from the country outside Of
the city. From Grange is reported
great destruction i'll the lower part of
Troup county. The path Of the cyclone
was 200 yards wide and every house for
some distance was demolished. Several
people We're injured, but none We're
killed outright. Many narrow escapes
are reported. A party was being held
in one house, when giant tree was up

greet1nS many members OF congress,
foreign officials and men of prominence
i'll the American business world. Mr..
\ and Mrs. Cleveland left the ball room
before 1880.
The Stevenson family arrived at 10
and remained until after II, being con-
stantly the center of II brilliant group
of friends.
Precisely at lni'lnight Home, Sweet
Homo" was sounded, and the second
Cleveland inaugural ball passed into
history, to be remembered as staid
and stately affair, lacking almost every
| characteristic Of a modern ball.
| The inaugural Parade.
The military and civic parade would
have been greater i'll numbers and more
imposing than that which ushered Mr..
Cleveland into the White House eight
years ago, had the weather been warmer
and the skies clear. General Martin
McMahon of New York was grand
marshal. The escorting division was
composed Of artillery, cavalry and in
fantry of the regular army. drawn from
garrisons in and near Washington.
Then came Grand Army veterans, fol-
lowed by the civic procession Of six
divisions, headed by Tammany with
gorgeous banners and badges.
An Immense Crowd Of People.
| Every foot of standing room along
the route Of two miles was occupied
Seats in windows and reviewing stands
sold at prices ranging from 81 to IS.
Reviewing stands were erected at all
street corners. The main stand from
which President Cleveland witnessed
the procession stood in front Of the
White House. The vast treasury build
ings was almost walled in with stands,
all crowded far beyond their seating
capacity. The decorations were not of
great variety or artistic.
The many public and private stands
erected along the line of march from
the Capitol to point beyond the White
House had an estimated seating
capacity of $4,000 persons. And every
one of them was crowded.
1t is estimated that about 10000 men
made up the procession. and that it was
witnessed by almost half million peo
pie. 1t was after dark when President
Cleveland left his reviewing stand an6
entered the White House.

per men secured the remaining two.

Mr.. Cleveland's Inaugural Address.
Mr.. Cleveland then became the chief
actor. 1t was almost p. IN. when lie
appeared at the east front of the Capitol
preparatory to delivering his inaugural
address, the thousands of people packed
in the great park before the Capitol
cheered themselves hoarse before they
allowed him to begin his inauguration
address.
Mr.. Cleveland spoke without manu-
script, but with brief notes to refresh
his memory. He first expressed his
profound gratitude to the people for
the honor thus second time conferred
upon him as mark Of confidence in
him and belief in the principles upon
which he was elected.
Summary of the Speech.
Mr.. Cleveland urged that the govern
ment must have sound and staple cur
rency, entirely removed from dangers of
depreciation in its purchasing power
Frugality and economy in public life
must be the aim Of all officials. and the
peoples money should be carefully used.
Wild and reckless pension expenditure
should be checked if existing, and the
general plan of civil service should be
adopted so far as possible in all govern
Ment offices. Trusts, combinations and
conspiracies should be wiped out, because
they invariably operate against the welfare
of the people.
Indian rights and interests should be
honestly considered and their civilization
and advancement studied, SO as to
make them eventually self-supporting
and independent.
Delusions and misconceptions of vicious
tariff laws should he torn aside and tariff
reform should be the American watch

pageant of the returning procession,
and the inaugural ball.

Colorado In Earnest.

The people of Colorado, without
regard to party lines. have been hold
ing exciting meetings in Denver on
account of the financial situation.
Some of the expressions Of the speak
ers have been rather extreme, but
seem to meet the approval Of the
people of the state. Governor Waite,
in his speech before 1000 people said:
IF the money power shall attempt
to sustain its usurpation by the
strong hand of the law we will meet
that issue when it is forced upon us,
for it is better infinitely that blood
should flow to the horses brides
rather than our national liberties be
destroyed"
He said also: IF it is true that
the United States is unable to carry
out its governmental policy without
the dictation or consent Of foreign
powers; if we are a province of Euro
pean mOnarchles, then we need an
other revolution, another appeal to
arms, and we have won that battle.
If war is forced upon us we will send
to Halifax far greater army of
British tories according to our pop
ulation than our forefathers sent
there after the revolutionary war"
In conclusion he said: "The war
has begun; it is the same war which
must always be waged against op-
preston and tyranny to preserve the
liberties of man."
The address created a sensation,
and a scene of great confusion follow
ed, the applause being deafening.
Judge Kerr, of Pueblo, got the floor
and spoke in the same in1ammatOry
tone as Gov. Waite. He Endorsed the
recent revolutionary telegram sent
by Edward R. Holden to the east, in
which the latter declared that if the
war on silver continued the west
would rise, repudiating all her OBJ
legations, that 10000 people would
be paupers and 100000 people upon
the verge of starvation and revolution
be the final result.
