New York Struck by II Regular Cyclone
Much Damage Done.

New York, July IS. The first cyclone
in many years struck New York and
vicinity this afternoon, and resulted
fatally in one instance, besides wrecking
a large amount of valuable property.
The cyclone struck the upper part of
East New York, known as Cypress Hills,
at 4 30 O'Clock, continued on its way to
the lower plains district, and from there
travelled to Wood Haven. One life was
lost, and the damage to property was
great. A number of people were badly
hurt.
The cloud was first seen going over
Cypress Hill cemetery. 1t was funnel
shaped, and hung very near the ground.
AT the upper end was red spot. that ap-
peared more like an incadescent light
than anything else. The cylone swept
over the cemetery, wrecking handsome
and costly monuments. 1t tore down
trees for about two hundred feet and then
turned into Jamaica avenue at Crescent
street and swept up Jamaica avenue for
about half a mile.
Trees were torn down, and telephone.
III.
Right in the middle of the wreckage six
cars were caught. They belonged to the
Brooklyn and Suburban railroad, and
were struck when in front of the Stewart
house. The cars were filled with pas
sengers and there was the greatest excite
ment. Half dozen persons were slight
ly injured.
Then the cloud moved toward Wood
Haven, where it wrecked thirty houses
and a very large schoolhouse. AT this
time the cloud covered an area of about
three hundred square yards.
There were twenty residents of Wood
Haven injured by the cyclone, hit by the
various objects which were carried
through the air. Trees and chimneys
sailed through the air as thought they
were no heavier than feathers Several
people were picked up and carried by the
wind for a block or two.
At the time the cyclone struck Wood
Haven woman on Shore avenue was
attending to some duties in an out build
ing. The house was picked up and carried
by the storm for more than a block.
Finallysthe woman was ..landed on one
side of the street and the house on the
other. The woman had q wonderful
escape from serious injury, receiving only
slight cut ON the forehead.
Mrs. Louisa Ketrequin of Third avenue,
near Rockaway, was killed. She stood
in the doorway of her house when a fly
ing beam struck her on the head, crush
ing in her skull and killing her instant
ly. The fire department and the police
were called to the scene, but the house
was a complete wreck.
The cyclone spent its force in Wood
Haven and turned off in southeasterly
direction toward Jamaica bay.

A POINT FOR THE PRISONER.
in the Sterling Murder Case
Allowed.

Boston, July 13-Angus D. Gilbert,
who now stands convicted of the murder
of Alice M. Sterling, felt jubilant last
evening when he was informed that his
exceptions were allowed. This means
that the Supreme court will pass upon
the case in November.
Gilbert is confined in the Charles street
Jail in one of the cells in the left wing.
He has all the current newspapers, so
that he Is kept well informed on what is
going on in the outer world. It was not
many hours after the private session of
Judges Dunbar and Sheldon that he re-
ceived intelligence of what had trans
pired.
"Well. that means considerable to me-
and who knows but liberty he said to
one of the keepers.
During all the afternoon and a portion
of the evening he walked to and fro In
his cell deep in thought. Finally tired
out he sank down on his iron bed and fell
fast asleep
He was in that condition when the
Post reporter called at the Jail last eve
ming.
Lawyers Doherty and Leach took ex-
ceptiOns at the trial to certain rulings OF
the presiding justices and to the remarks
of the mother OF Alice.
There was hearing yesterday morning
before Judges Dunbar and Sheldon to
determine the form in which the excep-
tions should be sent up to the Supreme
court. The hearing was private, only the
counsel being present Messrs. Doherty
and Leach represented the defendant, and
Assistant District Attorney Suhgrue the
Commonwealth.
After an hours deliberation the excep-
tions We're allowed by the court, but IN
modified form from what were asked for
by the counsel for the defendant
The bill of exceptions as allowed con-
tains the further fact that the outbreak
made by Mrs. Alice Sterling, mother Of
the murdered child, was not in response
to any question and was stopped as soon
as possible.
As the Supreme court does not come in
until November next, the case cannot be
argued until that time unless a special
session is held.

The Second of the Old Orchard Camp
meetings Opened Yesterday.

Old Orchard, July 13. The annual con-
vention and campmeeting of the Inter
denominational and International
Christian Believers association, opened
here today although the president and
leader, Rev. DIR. L. B. Bates of Boston,
is not expected to arrive before tomorrow.
This morning the distinguished
Canadian preacher, Rev. DR.. W. Hunter
Of Montreal, regarded as the most elo-
quent of the Methodist preachers of
Canada, preached from 2nd Timothy,
Ill. s and O. his subject being, "The In
destructability of the Gospels
The gospel is the word of God. 1t is d
divine principle, the original substance
not to be destroyed Truth, justice and
liberty are as eternal as God himself.
The tyranny of centuries crushed, but it
could not anihilate them, neither can
you destroy principle by destroying the
| advocates of principle. You may kill q
man but you cannot kill the principle
which he represents and the gospel being
principle is not DOunu or limited IN 1tS
operation. 1t suits a monarchy, and it
suits republic. ''tI is the power of
God unto salvation. F"
The researches of physical science are
raising questions which go to the very
foundation Of human existence, and
young men are coming out of the univer-
stiles and medical schools tinctured with
skepticism. They regard the gospels as a
good, but not as a necessary thing, but
there is no fact in nature or in science
more universal or proyable than the fact
that men must be regenerated in order to
be saved here and hereafter. This is not
tariff wall around the gates of heaven,
but necessity of our nature and refuge
of Gods mercy The gospel will not fail.
There is not a case of which it will say,
"this is too hard There is not a case
this side of hell which it cannot reach,
and what is true of sin is true of sorrow,
for ''earth hath no sorrow that heaven
connot heal" DR.. Hunter closed with
an eloquent appeal to all to stand for
God, and with the gospel that can not be
destroyed, but must be fulfilled.
Rev. Walter Russell. preached in the
| afternoon and Mrs. Russell led the meet
ing in the evening.
