morning. At least six persons were

Many pieces of ice weighed fourteen
toeighteen ounces, while others, which
must have. been very much larger,
found in the morning after a.
heavy warm rain with the mercury at
20. Some of the stones were as large
as goose eggs. They sank from two to
five inches in the ground near the
town. Chickens and turkeys roostiug
in trees were killed, while ducks, gees
and hogs were pelted to death.
AT lansing switch, six miles cast, a
dispatch says, the cyclone struck the
graveyard. tearing up large forest
trees by the roots and taking them.
nOrthwestward. 1t struck the stanch
old house of John Gains, occupied by o
family of negroes named Lester. The
house stood in a grove Of ancient oaks,
every n of which was uprootel. The
house was built or stone pillars, pinned,
and cemonted together and ceiled
throughout, tho rooms fastened to-
gethcr by walls of logs, but it is now
entirely demolished. There are six
persons dead, three mortally wounded.
and five seriously and painfully hurt.

miles south of Grecnville, totally de-
molishing the western portion Of the
town. Six persons we're killed out
right. In addition to these at least
fifty are wounded, and some.cf them
will die.
The cloud came from the southwest.
and, as described by an eyewitness, it
resembled an hour gla g, aprrt aching
like two tunnels together, point to
pint. The bottom Of it was forked.
and it was one continual blaze of cleo
tricity. 1t had the rotary cyclone mo-
tion and seemed about thirty or forty
feet wide. 1t struck the ground north
of the Missouri, Kansas ard Texas
depot and its track extends about Jour
CT five miles north and is {. b ut 100
yasds wide, according to dispatches
from various points. Everything in
the track Of the storm is a complete
