THE PROCEEDINGS.
Opening OF the Council by Which
DR.. Brown Is Being Tried.
The PASTORS Protest

Promptly at o'clock Rev. Dr. w. C.
Pond called the council to order, every
member being present and seated on the
platform of the lecture-room. DR.. Pond
was then elected temporary chairman,
and Rev. G. II. Hatch temporary secre-
tary. Without loss of time Rev. DIR. J. K.
Mclean was chosen moderator, and Rev.
G. H. Hatch scribe of the council, ana S.
F. Bufford assistant scribe.
Rev. DR.. Pond then suggested that the
doors be opened to all who wished to at
tend, but this met with objection from DR..
Brown, who expressed the belief that the
church members and the pewholders
should first be accommodated. He de-
manded this finally as right.
Moderator Mclean asked if the council
wished to act on the suggestion of Dr.
Brown, and it was decided to open the
doors for this occasion only to all corners.
A suggestion was made that an assistant
scribe be elected, and Hoyt, Mooar, Barker
and E. G. Williams of Oakland were nomi-
mated. On the first ballot Hoyt received 4
votes, Mooar 4, Barker and Williams g.
No one having received a majority an
other bal lot was taken, which resulted IN
the election of Barker.
Or. Mclean read a passage from the
Scriptures and led in prayer, invoking the
aid OF God in the deliberations and de-
clsion OF the council. He then remarked :

al got the labels mixed up on
four boxes of cigars in the case
one day. A regular purchaser
came in, and four boxes in a row
of the same cigars had different
labels on them. The purchaser
would not take the cigars which
had the label on he didn't know,
but wanted the others. 1t was no
use trying to explain, and | let
him have his way We had been
selling a cigar that had a rather
ungraceful appearance about the
butt, being too blunt. We had
that cigar, on account of the COM
plants about the aforesaid butt,
made up by our manufacturers so
it tapered off at the mouth part.
Do you know, no one would be-
lieve that we were offering them
the same cigar? Most of our for
mer purchasers declared that we
had sought to cheaper them, We
once had a cigar made half inch
longer and simmer in shape be
cause it was claimed by our smok-
ers that it was too short. But we
could not sell any of them for the
same cigar, and had to return to
the old length. There isn't one
man in a hundred who knows a
good cigar by smoking it."

family, there were In the depot Peter Moss,
James Dillon, Brakeman Grifiin, Mrs. Clarks
servant May Lindrick, F. Draller, wife and
two children. The little frame depot was
lifted from it's foundation and loated into the

Mrs. Clark were on the side of the depot

in Michigan.


in Michigan.
DETROIT Mich May 25.-J. E. Weaver
came to Detroit on the Bay City division OF
the Michigan Central train that passed
through last evening and said that the cy-
clone had followed the railroad track very
closely AS far as he could learn from OBJ
servation from the train and conversation
with the people the cyclone first struck the
outer edge of Metamora, but did not do very
much damage 1t then took leap and struck
a farm house and barn between Metamora
and Oakwood leveling them to the ground.
Whether or not the occupants were killed
could not be learned but, as they had not
been seen, 1t was presumed that they were
Then the cyclone descended upon Oakwood
and leveled every building to the ground.
Here fire added its horrors to the terrible
work Of the cyclone and completed the de-
vastation. When the train passed through
there not a person was to be seen, but the
flames had nearly completed their work of
destroying the wreekage left by the twister.
The train had to come slowly. as the track
was Uttered with branches of trees and tele-
graph poles from New Metamora through
Oakwood and Thomas to near Pontiac.
Mr. Weaver said that the village OF
Thomas was not entirely wiped out, but so
nearly so that but nucleus for town Is
left. Only portion of the depot building re-
mains standing and nearly the whole of the
grain elevator across the track from the
depot was carried away. He counted eight
foundations Of buildings near the depot from
which the structure had been blown. The
only hotel in the town had also been raised
to the ground and it's pieces scattered over
the surrounding country. man named
Doyle was at the station when the train
pulled into Thomas and related the details
of one of the curious freaks of the cyclone.
He says that his house, common, two-story
balloon frame, was not touched by the des-
troyer but every other house for two or
three blocks in all directions was totally
destroyed.
There was one family whose house was so
scattered that but small pieces of it could be
found anywhere, and Of whose members not
one had been discovered. Neighbors had
looked for them under all the debris in the
vicinity that could be moved, but not trace
of any of them could be found and 1t was
presumed that they had been picked up by the
vortex of the funnel and carried some distance
away. Besides those reported dead, there
were eight persons laid around the depot and
being attended by physicians who said that
they were all badly injured, and it was ex-
pected that some of them would not recover.

FOUR KILLED.
Result of the Cyclone Near Rock
ford, Ill.

ford, Ill.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, May 25.-Four killed and
many injured a number of them fatally, is
the result of the cyclone, which swept through
this section last night at midnight. Mrs.
Godfrey Hildebrand, living near Monroe, was
beheaded while going down the cellar to es-
cape the storm. Her daughter, Elsie, was also
instantly killed. and her husband who is a
prominent Grand Army man, is dead from in
juries received. Six others asleep in the
house were blown across the street and in
jured. The house was completely demolished.
Near Egan City, Mrs. IZora Bird was Instant
ly killed and her five children injured, two
probably fatally. Near Leaf River, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Garner were both seriously in
jured. At Adeline the Methodist church was
blown down and the United Brethren church
unroofed. At Forreston the steeple of Meth
odist Episcopal church was blown on to the
roof of the parsonage next door, crushing it
in and injuring Rev. and Mrs. H. Colvin, who
were asleep.
Many bridges in this section were washed
out and trains on the Milwaukee road aban-
dcned. Illinois Central and Northwestern
trains were all delayed by washouts. The
rain which accompanied the wind was the
heaviest in years and all the creeks far
out Of their banks. The loss cannot be esti-
mated but it will be very large In Winnie
bago, Ogle, Lee and Boone counties, which
seem to suffer most severely.

at Phalarum, starts thither tonight. The
Greek ironclads will probably start tomor-

consulates have been killed. Turkhan Pasha

DUBUQUE, To-, May 25.-Passengers on the
train from the north tonight say that from
twenty-five to thirty persons were drowned
at North McGregor. Among the dead are
man named Moloney, his wife, child and
grandchild and families named Burke and
Meyers wiped out, leaving no trace Eighteen
are said to have been drowned in these three
families alone. A number of tramps are also
known to have been lost. Other names could
not be had. Two small streams unite at
Bulla and flow from that point to the Missis-
sippi The flood of the two united and swept
everything, lumber yards, houses and cars
between Bulla and North McGregor into the
Mississippi. Previous estimates of loss of life
placed the number of drowned at twelve.

PONTIAC, Mich, May 25.-The country in
the vicinity of this city was given its first
taste of cyclone this evening" and the lit
tie village of Thomas has been wiped from
the face of the earth. Metamora and Oak
wood were also visited, and track of de-
vastation left to within three -fourths of
mile of Ortonville. The telephone and tele-
graph wires between here and those places
are all down, and the only data Of the work
of the cyclone is furnished by survivors, who
come here for shelter From comparison of
their stories, it seems certain that from four
teen to eighteen lives have been lost. The
following names of the dead at Thomas have
been reported by.ztheir neighbors, who es-
capped with theirslives. but lost their homes:
John Pooritt, Mrs. Joseph Bird, John Mil

Actual details of the devastation caused by
the cyclone are meager. It's first appearance
at Thomas station was from the southwest
in the form of a densely black funnel-shaped
cloud, moving with almost incredible swift
ness and seeming to take long leaps. 1t
seemed to have the elasticity of gigantic
rubber ball. and would strike the ground,
then, leaving a footprint of devastation,
bound into the air, travel a mile or so before
again touching the earth.

crowd to swallow. l never agreed to work

money-and never will work for it. am
