A Tornado Sweeps Over Mississippi I.
MERIDIAN, Miss, April 2O-A fright
full tornado crossed Jasper and Clarke
counties yesterday afternoon. The cy
clone originated in Jasper county, 30
miles south of here, and travelled in
northeasterly direction. A settlement
of negro cabins was destroyed and many
of the unfortunate inmates perisbed.
Colone Berfy's magnificent plantation
was swept clean, but fortunately none of
the family were injured. From this
point to Barnett, 80 miles south, the
storm was especially severe. DR.. T.
Krouse, one of the largest plantation
owners in the south, Is a heavy loser.
His son had his skull crushed, and his
wife and daughter were slightly injured.
A Degro on the plantation, named Henry
German, with his wife and nine cbll-
dren, were imprisoned under the ruins
of the cabin. Fire originating from the
kitchen stove slowly roasted the unfor
tunate wretches. Three miles east of
Barnett the wind struck neigbborbood

OF the forest trees, His wife and chill
dren were burned in the ruins, which
caught fire, land they would have perished
but for the timely arrival of the neigh
bors. A little further ON three negro
cabins were struck, and two negroes
killed and several badly wounded. |
Crossing the Memphis 6 Ohio's track
north OF Shuberta, the storm created |
havoc among negro cabins on different
Reports of damage are
coming in slowly, but such as are re-

Of horses, cattle and all description of

The loss will reach into hundreds of

Thought 1t Was Dynamite.
W. W. Union-Journal.


One night last week two men while
walking by the Sayers building found a
small package lying upon the sidewalk,
and picking 1t up they noticed a black
substance protruding from one end which
to them resembled piece of fuse Not
knowing what the package contained, and
fearing it might possibly be dynamite
bomb, they hastily left the spot and re-
ported the matter to Officers Morse and
Brown, who proceeded to the place to
make an investigation. By the time the
officers arrived report was in circula-
tion that a dynamite bomb had been
found and large number of persons had
congregated near there, but not one of
them could be induced to touch the pack
age. When the officers reached the place
Officer Morse cautiously picked up the
package and began 3crutinizing 1t very
He removed the twine that
was bound around the package and un-
wound several sheets OF paper. A large
piece of cotton clorh was found securely
tied with a string. This was also re-
moved, when the officer found that the
package contained two magazines
around a small piece of wood,
which had been used for fire poker.
The charred end of the wood, which was
from one end of the package,

the barrel of the revolver was in deceased's
