WICHITA, Kan, May 1.-The storm
crossed the Santa Fe railroad about three
miles west of Halstead. The engineer of a
west-bound through Pacific express saw
the twisting tornado coming from the
south and stopped his train and backed
out. This prompt action prevented a
wreck. for the train would have certainly
struck the storm had it proceeded The
pathway of the storm IS strewn with the
wreckage of houses, barns and outbuild-
ings. among which are the dead carcasses
of hundreds of horses, cattle and swine.
Orchards were ruined trees torn up by
their roots or stripped OF foliage. In the
line of the tornado telegraph poles were
broken, wires were broken and twisted in
every shape imaginable, rendering tele-
graphic communication almost impossible
The storm ended about three miles north
east of Burton and no further damage
done. though pieces of timber and
clothing and other signs of the wreck can
be traced as far as thirty miles away.
The path of the storm lies through a rich
farming district and most of the buildings
destroyed were of a substantial character

Threats of west virginia Miners.

BLUEFIELD. w. Va. May 1.-The
strike is on in the West Virginia coal
fields, along the Norfolk & Western rail-
road Not mine is in operation. A meet
ing of fifteen thousand miners was held at
measures to induce or force the Pocahon-
tas, Va, men TO join the strike. A delega-
ton was appointed for the purpose. No
dissatisfaction exists among the Virginia
miners. as they have not been cut In the
event of a refusal to join the strike, force
doubtless will be attempted, and both sides
are determined. The citizens of Pocahontas
will aid the home miners. and they have
ample arms and ammunition. The West
on every train, and the situation is alarm
ing.
No shipments of coal are being made at
Buefied. The cut OF 20 per cent. in wages
was never contemplated. by the Virginia
companies, and there are only a few
of trouble at Pocahontas the Virginia
miners only number nine hundred against
ten thousand in West Virginia, and re-
sistance could not long last. Bloodshed
will only be averted by caution and con-
ciliation. The miners understand that they
have the support of the operators In all
peaceable ways to adjust their troubles.
The railroad at important points is being
guarded and Superintendent Maher, of the
Pocahontas division of the Norfolk &
eral Superintendent Hippey, of Roanoke,
spent yesterday among the local fields.
Business is partly paralyzed. and many
miners are leaving for their homes. An out
break may occur at any time. The strike
is understood to be practically to adjust
railroad rates on shipments.

4 Southern Luncheon.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-After the cab
met meeting Ia. day President Cleveland and
all the members of the cabinet, except Sec
retary Carlisle, walked from the White
House TO the residence Of Secretary Herbert,
Twentieth and F streets, four blocks away,
where an old fashioned Southern luncheon
was served, of which gumbo was feature.
The ladies of the cabinet were entertained
at lunch by Mr.. Cleveland in the White

the White House were astonished to notice

met, coming down the steps Of the port CO.
chere and make his way along the pavement
toward the State, War and Navy Depart
ments, 100 yards away.
The members of the cabinet walked prac-
tically in the order Of their rank, every
member was there save Mr.. Carlisle, and all
walked with military tread and with due re-
gard for military formation and precision of
line. No policeman marshalled the force or
kept guard over the distinguished party,
which attracted little attention owing to the
time of day, when most Of the government
employees were at work Running from east
to west through the big government build
ing is long corridor through which the
party wen. on its WAY To G street and the
