One of the pictures in the exhibi

painted for the war department by
Robert Gordon Hardie. 1t is one of
Mr.. Hardie's best efforts and was
painted in his studio in Carnegie hall,

from Washington for the sittings.
The picture is simple and dignifed,
painted with few tones, and is an ex-
cellent likeness.

we're taken sick until all but one had
been stricken. The doctor pronounc
ed the cases severe and dangerous
ones of poisoning. There were in all
six persons that were poisoned,
Messrs. Hayes, Hoyt, Raney and Ken
nedy, and Miss Bertha HAYES and
Master Thomas Hayes. At their meal
the whole family with one exception
were taken sick. The severity of the
sickness seemed to depend on the
amount of tea drank. Those who
drank one cup were very sick but the
one who drank two cups was in con-
vulsions and for quite a time the
chances we're much against his recov-
cry. Miss Hayes and Master Thomas
who drank but little of the tea were
not nearly as sick as the others, while
Mrs. Hayes, the only one who took
no tea at the meal, was the only one
in the whole family who was not sick.

ping into the IlVOI IoU I006 below.
The passengers were thrown into
confused mass. The network of wires
made rescue difficult and dangerous,
but it is thought all got out uniniured.
The east span of the Eads bridge is so
badly wrecked that it will take, three
DAYS to allow trains to pass.
The reported fatalities in East st.
Louis at O'Clock it was estimated
would exceed 100.
Lightning struck the Standard oil
works and flames were soon pouring
from dozen buildings. The fire de-
partment was utterly powerless to
cope with the confagration, and it
was feared nearly the entire business
and agricultural part of the section
would be destroyed by flames, if not
already done. The greatest anxiety
is felt for the safety Of passengers on
the different excursion boats which
were on the river at the time the
storm broke. The steamer City of
Florence with an excursion party is
reported lost below Carondelet. The
steamer ST. Paul, with thirty passen
gers, left for Alton at 4 O'Clock, and
is believed to be wrecked.
Fl. T. Rice, manager of the Western
Union company in the relay depart
ment, reports wreck of terrible pro-
portions. He says that the National
hotel, fremont, Martell house, De
Wolfe cafe, Hazel Milling company's
mill, Horns cooper shop and large
number of dwellings east of that Sec
ton were swept into wreckage.
1t is reported that the Grand Re
public and several other excursion
steamers, with all the passengers and
crews have gone down.
Perhaps the most impressive evil
dence of the storm clouds force is to
be seen in the wreck of the eastern
end Of the Eads bridge. There the
tornado dealt with the stone masonry
and tumbled down tons upon tons of
it beginning with the eastern pier and
extending to the foot of the incline.
The cloud cut off the upper part of
the structure, as if it had been a finn
sy trestle, instead of a world wide
fame for massiveness.
The fire in East ST. Louis added at
least 100000 to the property loss.
The hurricane from the northwest
came before the business center of the
city had began to send it's workers to
their homes. Service on the most of
the street car lines was suddenly sus
dark on the tracks, while men and
women toiled homeward through the

GREATCYCLONE.

clonic disturbances which have har-
assed the west for the past two weeks
reached an awful climax yesterday
afternoon, when two cyclones, one
from the northwest and the other
from direct east, met on the Illinois
shore of the Mississippi river and
joined in a whirling cloud of death
and destruction. Tie most fearful
destruction was where st. Louis and
East st. Louis are separated by the
river. Here hundreds and perhaps
thousands of people were killed. East
st. Louis Jared worst, being nearly
swept out of existence. Churches
and public buildings were thrown
down and the roof of the exposition
building was torn off.
Fire broke out in East st. Louis and
swept the network of railroads, man
ufactories and residences which COM
posed the city. The path of the dis
turbance in the beautiful Missouri city
was at least six miles wide. Reports
have come in of great loss of life in
the railroad tracks to Carondelet.
Bridges were torn down and the wave
of death swept the craft on the busy
river. At 9 O'Clock last night no wire
could be obtained to surrounding ter
ritory in the western and northern
part of Missouri, but it is feared that
the loss of life in these sections will
be very large. An early estimate of
the damage to property in ST. Louis
is 100000. The property loss in
East St.Louis last night was So, 1000, 900
and the fire still raging. The relay
depot at East ST. Louis was complete
ly destroyed. The round houses and
freight sheds of the Wabash and Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroads
were crushed to splinters. Both the
great bridges leading into st. Louis to
the east side were badly wrecked, the
east approach to the Eads bridge be-
ing swept away and a span taken bod
lily from the Merchants bridge. Every
steamer in the river in front of st.
Louis was sunk, and the loss of life
must be enormous. No reliable esti-
mates can be obtained, but it is be-
lieved that hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, have persisted.
Fourteen fire alarms were sounded
within an hour, and three alarms were
sent in from the poorhouse, which
binding has 200 inmates. The roof
of the poorhouse was blown off and
the fatalities were great. At 7:30 pm.
the rain, which ceased for time, be-
gan afresh and fell in torrents. At s
O'Clock the eastern sky was afiame
with the light of fires in East ST. Louis.
The metal roof of the Merchants ex-
change was rolled up like scroll and
fell into the streets.
The Chicago and Alton east-bound
local passenger train which left East
st. Louis at O'Clock was on the east
span of the bridge when the wind
picked the cars up and turned them
over on their sides. The iron spans
and trusses held the cars from top

Come to its Own Again.

One Of the most enjoyable reunions of
Abbeville County, on the I'd of september.
neighborhood, and was most delightful
occasion. The command which called
the assem- blage together was the "McCalla
Rifles" which was raised in the vicinity
OF Lowndesville. and went into servj Of
the Confederate States on the % of Sep.
tember, 1851, and hence it was celebra.
ton Of the thirty-fifth anniversary since
its organization. The name of the COM
pany was given in honor of Capt. George
r. McCalla, who was the father of the
Hon. Isaac H. McCalla, the present Sem
ator fromfA bbsville County. It was to
the generous and patriotic conduct of
Capt. MoCalla that the company was in
debted for complete uniform and equip
ment on its entrance into the Confederate
service. Each member of the company
was measured for his uniform, while the
cloth and making was paid for by Capt.
McCalla, everyone faring alike without
regard to his own financial means. The
campany entered the service as Company
I, 14th regiment, S. G. Volunteers, which
was organized and commanded by Gen.
Samuel MCGOWAN.
Capt. w. R. White, of Greenville, was
the last commander Of the "McCalla
Rifles" and when the com mand was or
dered to Virginia, Mrs. White presented
it with beutiful silk flag, which had a
curious history. Company flags were
abandoned when the troops went into
actual service, as the regimental flag took
their place, and hence the McCalla Rifles
had to do the same as other companies,
which compelled them to part with the
flag they had tondly expected to take
with them in every battle. 1t was placed
in charge of lady in Richmond for safe
keeping, and amid all the mutations of
time the flag was sacredly guarded by
this Virginia matron until two years ago,
when she placed it among the relics in
the Confederate museum. It was in the
South Carolina room, OF course, and when
Capt. White was strolling through the
museum during the great reunion at
Richmond, he was astonished to ind the
flag of his old company. Mrs. A. M.
GWaltney, sister of DR.. Charles Manly,
and Mrs. William P. DeSaussure. formerly
of Columbia, were in charge of the room
when the discoveryWas made, and through
their kind offices Capt. White was enabled
to recover the flag and bring it home
with him. On the anniversary at
Lowndesville last week, Mrs. White
again presented the flag to the McCalla
Rifles, of whom tweuty-seven survivors
were present Fer presentation speech
was made from the piazza of her fathers
old residence, just where she stood in
1861, and there was not a survivor present
who did not shed tears as this noble.
patriotic woman gave back the old flag
into their keeping after thirty-fye years.
The speakers on this occasion were
Gen. M. L. Bonham, Of Anderson, Gen.
Thos. w. Carwile, of Edgefeld; the Hon.
I. Fl. McCalla, of Abbevilie, and Mr..
George Grogan, of Elberton, Ca, all of
whom acquitted themselves with much
credit,
Capt. White was promoted to the COM
mand Of the McCalla Rifles at Gettysburg.

Tillman Had the Big End Of it.

PoTTsVILLE, PA, Sept. 12.-Represen-
tative G. n. Brumm of this district and
Senator Ben. r. Tillman of South Caro-
lima met upon the came stage in public
hall at Minersville, the home of the Con-
gressmau, last evening, and the greatest
excitement prevailed during the discus
sion. Personalities were INDUCED in be-
tween the two speakers, and upon several
occasions riot was feared. The discus
sion waa impromptu.
Mr.. Tillman had gone there to hear a
silver orator named Thorpe deliver q
speech. Upon the conclusion of Thorpe's
speech, the senator was invited to speak,
but declined, but would yield, he said If
MIR. Brumm would repeat what he had
said of the Senator in speech at Potts
vile couple of weeks ago in speech in
reply to one made by Mr.. Tillman the
week previous. MIR. Brumm last evening
assumed the stage and bitter discussion
between he and the Senator ensued.
Senator Tillman, in opening his re-.
marks alter his invitation to Representa-
tive Brumm, stated that Brumm had
criticised him and his people and State in
his Pottsville speech, and he was there
now to defend himself He referred to
Mr.. Brumm as traitor to principle. He
then begun to query him as to his former
advocacy of the greenback theory. He
forced Mr.. Brumm to admit that he be-
lieved that with the governments stamp,
paper could be made money. TO this the
Senator retorted by saying that If the fiat
of the government could make money
out of paper, why could not it make
money out of silver? He said he was
not in favor of q protective tariff, but he
would 60 as far as any man to make the
land OF this country as profitable as pos
sible, 80 that the products OF labor would
receive the best remuneration.
Mr.. Brumm referred to slavery as be
ing of the moSd Injurious effect from
which labor in this country had suffered,
and that the rebellion Of the South was
the effort of that section TO continue the
iniquitous system Of bondage.
