more tobacco and cigars from Cuba

Spanish ,ommander-in-cheif, said
that if the news contained III the
dispatch was true, the whole Cuban

CHICAGO, March Mr.. W. W.

West for unerring judgment in the

Unlike many hard driven business

that splendid suburb Of Chicago, has
not neglected his health on account
of his exacting business. The fol-
lowing unrequested statement from

Western states swept by Destructive
And Property Destroyed.
Telegraphic reports told last week
Of fearful storms and cyclones i'm some
of the Western States. The News and
Observer sums up the awful story as
follows:
"The people of y orth Carolina should
be- thankful for the everlasting hills
that cut us off from the plains of the
West and the devastating sweep of its
tornadOes. The accounts of the re-
cent cyclone i'm Texas, by which near
ly 200 people were killed, and the
more recent visitation on the Pawnee
reservation in Nebraska, by which
forty people were killed and much
damage to property done, should make
us rejoice that, though the plains are
fruitful and lovely, our lot is cast
among the rugged hills. The later
accounts from Texas show that the
storm swept with destructive force
for distance of 100 miles e narrow
path $50 yards wide, leaving death
and ruin in its track. Houses, trees,
fences, cattle and all things movable,
were caught up and swept along in
the arms of the whirlwind like cha1f.
Men, women and children were killed
or mangled and their bodies carried
along and scattered about as if not
only death, but an appalling malig-
nancy had suddenly come upon the
earth and passed careering over it.
The body of one dead child was found
in a tree top. There were thunder,
lightning, furious rain and rush of
darkened air filled with the dismem-
bered fragments of all things of what.
ever nature that stood or existed upon
the top of the ground. And then al
was over. Five minutes after the
storm had passed the sun shOne, and
two hundred dead and hundreds Of
wounded and desOlated survivors
gave mOurnful witness of mans help
lessness against the fury of the ele
ments. 1t is estimated that the money
damage of the storm will not be les!
than one million dollars"

charges against President Cleveland
upon which he imPeached him of high
crimes and misdemeanOrs and called
upon the committee on the Judiciary
to inquire into the truth of them. But,
by an overwhelming vote, the House
refused to consider them, and the same
Republican House would kill the bill
to prevent the issue of more bonds

An sifair which may result in loss OF

near Watkins Mil, IN Chesterfield coun.

the matter until late last night. and
then the particulars obtained were very
meagre. II seems that party OF young

named Parker. whose father resides 10
Manchester, went down TO watkins
mil-pond for the purpose or bathing.
The miller. however. was unwilling for
the party TO 20 in, and demonstrated
with them vigorously. The trouble cul-
minated, il is alleged, by Parker strik-
ing the miller with a rock aud inturing
him quite seriously.
AFFAIR EXAGGERATED.
News OF the analr reached Manchester
early in the day. but In "A most distorted
shape. 10 was rumored that a man had
been cut all 10 pieces and his body con-
cealed in the woods In the thick under
growth which borders Failing Creek
near Watkins Mil. The matter was
everywhere discussed. and added TO. un-
I'll IL reached appalling proportions.
II soon reached the ears OF Captain
Lhpscomb, Chief OF Police. and that
official soon determined that IL was hts
duty to investigate the matter, and TO
assist i'm the arrest OF the guilty parties.
II a murder had been committed lie
therefore left Manchester late yesterday
afternoon. in company with officer Dick
Jones. and was gone until nearly mid
night last night Upon his return the
above facts were asccrtained
ARREST HIM TOD DAY.
No arrest has yet been made. but Spc-
cia! officer A. a. Avis. Of Swansboro.
stated last night that the culprit would
be located and jailed this morning. Mr..
Avis further stated that he understood
the condition OF the injured miller to
be critical in the extreme. and that what
was now a felony might turn out to be
murder
Another difficulty is said 70 have oc-
CURED last Saturday night up IN the
same section OF the county, when a negro
named Thomas Jackson. was horribly
mutlated with a kni'e by another negro
named Robinson.
Jackson, IL will be remembered. bears
rather tough reputation. and was shot
some time ago by Officer Alex. Wright
Of the Manchester force. while resist
