LIVES LOST In The STORM
Six Persons Known to Have Been
Killed at Little Rock, Ark.
MUCH DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
The Cyclone First Visited the State Insane
Asylum and City Jail, Both Of Which Were
Badly Wrecked-Then the Central Portion
Of the Town Suffered Considerably.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 3.-Last evenings
cyclone grows in destructiveness as the de-
tails are gathered, and the sum total Of the
damage wrought by the wreck of last even
ing is yet untold. Six lives are known to have
been lost. The day had been hot and sultry
and its elimination was the storm which
wrecked business houses, filed the streets
with debris, killed a number of people and Sc
riously injured many others.
Dark, ominous clouds had been gathering
from the west and southwest yet the city was
all unprepared for the destruction that fol-
lowed in their wake The first intimation of
the impending catastrophe was when the
cyclone struck. ALI electric lights were ex-
tinguished and the darkened streets were
hIled with flying roofs, walls, and debris Of
all kinds. 1t swept up from the southwest,
striking the city near the insane asylum, the
male ward OF which was demolished.
There DR.. Ingate was killed and several in
mates seriously injured. 1t then passed on to
the penitentisry, doing but slight damage at
intermediate points. The second and third
stories Of the shop building were blown of,
the cell building unroofed, the Office de-
stroyed. and the old building scattered broad
cast A convict was killed and several guards
injured.
DAMAGE IN THK CITY.
The terrible work continued toward the
main part of the city and its path was strewn
with debris Of wrecked buildings, tangled
telegraph and telephone wires and fallen
trees that had withstood the tempests Of many
decades. Many residences were more or less
damaged. roofs blown away, and walls partly
demolished.
The next marked damage was when the
storm struck the Martin building, at the cor
ner OF Spring and Second streets. This was a
large three-story brick office and apartment
house. occupied by the Arkansas Methodist
Church and several lawyers offices. Gov.
Fishback and Gen. Armstead, who have
rooms In this building, escaped without in
jury. The colored porter was seriously in
jured.
From that point east the scene that met the
view of the vast throngs Of people who gath
cred at the scene this morning was beyond
description. Some of the most substantial
brick structures OF the district lying along
Main and Markham streets, south TO Fourth
and Fifth. were RACED TO the ground. The
wind was followed by drenching tempest OF
rain lasting for nearly an hour and keeping
nearly every one within doors, 60 that the
real extent Of the damage could not be ascer-
iained at the time. Telephone wires in the
business portion were all blown down, and
communication by that means was impos-
sible.
LOSS OF LIVES AND PROPERTY.
The losses viii aggregate nearly 81 200, 600.
The damage at the State insane asylum is

FALL OF A PAINTER.
John Quill Injured While at Work on til
New Post-office Building

John Quill Injured While at Work on the
New Post-office Building.
While at work on scaffold on the second
floor of the new post-office building yester-
day, John Quill slipped and fell to the cellar
below, distance of about thirty feet. The
falling man struck several of the projecting
iron rafters, and as there are no floors in the
building as yet, there was nothing to stop
him.
Other workmen saw the accident and hur-
ried to the assistance of the victim as quickly
as possible He was found groaning and
nearly unconscious ana bleeding from several
slight cuts which he had received in striking
the iron girders. Policeman Boyce was
called, and he summoned the ambulance
from the Emergency Hospital. There it was
found that the most serious injury Quill had
received was broken leg, which was at
tended to by DR.. Church
Quill is a painter, and was welding his
brush when he missed his footing and
plunged down to the cellar. 1t is believed
that he will recover without being famed.

CORONER'S JURY DISAGREE.
One Man Saved the. Railroad Compan
from a Verdic of Ccnsure.

One Man Saved the Railroad Company
from a Verdict of Ccnsure.
The jury impanneled by Coroner Hammett
yesterday at the New Jersey avenue police
station to determine the cause OF the killing
of the aged pensioner, William Cassidy, by a
train on the Pennsylvania Railroad at the
south end of the Long Bridge, Tuesday night,
was una BILE to agree upon a verdict after a
long deliberation.
After being discharged by the coroner the
jurymen said that the majority desired to ex-
onerate the trainmen, but censure the COM
pany. 1t was shown that the engine which
struck the unfortunate man was running
backward at the time, and had no man sta
toned on the rear
The only light shown was small lantern
On this account it was thought that the rail-
road was negligent. But one man held out
against this opinion.
After dismissing the jury Coroner Ham
NETT said he would consult District Attorney
BirAey before taking further steps in the
case, but that the only course open to him,
without doubt, is to hold another inquest.

known to have been killed and others are
missing, probably buried in the debris.

HoT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 3.-The cyclone
which did so much damage at Little Rock

augurating that system, have managed
to discover Sir John somebody who
worked the whole thing up 15 years
ago A New York paper says: There
seems to be nothing in the way OF run

and Paris, except the necessary capital
and the employment Of sufficient tech
nical skill. If the London, Chatham and
Dover would combine with the North
ern of France and employ an expert
enced American engineer to plan and
construct the docks ard appliances for
embarking and landing the trains, and
at the same time send to any of the
ingestabiishlnents on our great
lakes for man to construct the ferry
boats, the arrangement could be perfect
ed in q year and a half or two years,
when freight and passengers could be
transported from any part of Great
Britain to the continent, and eventual

PROVERBS ABOUT TREES.
Beautiful Thoughts Finely Expressed by
the Eloquent Hindoos.

Many are the proverbs relating to
trees which are to be heard in India.
Among the proverbs that speak of the
banyan, there is Que which says, "As the
banyan, so are its hanging shoots; as the
father, so the SON. This probably
means that if the trco be in good soil
and well ncurished it will be strong
md thriving; so will its shoots. Just
go the fathers health and character will
be reflected in his son. Tales of brin-
jals growing on banyan treo is an ex'
preston equivalent to travellers tales"
"a gentle hit that tho narrator is draw
ing the long bow. The nimb (Azadi-
rachita indica) recalls a saying the ap-
propriateness Of which can be under
stood by those who know its thick
shade, and who know also what the
burning heat of a tropical sun is, "a
mothers love is like the shade Of tho
ninlb tree.
1t IS q beautiful thing, this Hindoo
mothers love, seldom, if ever, absent,
and carried often even to such excess
that it becomes weakness. It is so deep
and true that it cannot understand--the
action is altogether beyond its compre-
hension-that a mother could part with
her young children for them to be edu.

it is at night, and then but for a min

to be applied to a visit from Q friend
after long absence-a great rarity.
Another form Of il is, "To meet with

ton of laziuess than which it would be

Tcsti.nonY OF Tinrer Prints.

When q finger or q finger print is
closely examined under lens OF only
moderate power, it is seen to abound in
minute peculiarities. These are caused
by the branchings Of some of the ridges.
the sudden appearance Of new ones, the
formation of rings, or ovals, like eye
lets, and the abrupt stoppage of ridges
without any apparent cause.
It is in these countless little peculiari-
ties even more than in the general char
acter of the pattern that the valuo
of finger prints as proof of identity
hes, for these appearances, however
minute, do not change in the smallest
particular during life. A pattern may
be traced on the fingers of the babo
when born; it will be found the same
on those fingers when he has grown to
manhood and may be imprinted from
the fingers Of the dead without change
in the smallest point, though a hundred
years should intervene between birth
and death.
The pattern grows together with the
finger. It's proportions vary with fat
ness or leanness. They may be further
affected by wear. gout or age. But
such changes appear in tho pattern as
a whole, never in the form of correla-
ton Of its constituent parts. The pat
tern may become altered in length OF
breadth by hard wear of a peculiar kind.
but the number OF ridges that concur in
forming the pattern, their embranch-
ments, their archings, loops and other
minute characteristics, are not subject
to change. They are indestructible as
the finger. All the Year Round.

Dental Electricity.

Electricity, is employed nowadays for
pulling teeth. To the battery are at
tached three wires. Two of them have
handles at the end, while the third is
attached to the forceps. The patient
grasps the handles, the electricity is
turned on suddenly, and the dentist
simultaneously applies his forceps to
the tooth. The instant the tooth il
touched it, az well as the surrounding
parts becomes insensible to pain A.

She stopped again shortly and looked
through the bushes. In the field, about

through the bushes just as the solitary

along the barrel of the gun. There was
