KILLED by Lightning.
Montgomery. Ala. June 9.-The pretty
little town of Wyeth city. In Marshall
county, on the Tennessee river. and some
thirty miles west of Gadsden. with pop
ulation OF some 500 souls. was completely
wrecked at IL o'clock this morning. by a
cyclone.
Early in the morning dark and threat
ening cloud came up In the southwest,
with considerable wind. and all of a sud
den the wind made a swoop and struck
the town. almost completely demolishing
it. Eighteen dwelling houses We're de-
stroyed, five being swept completely away
and not a stick of timber left
The cyclone lasted fully five minutes
and then passed in a northeasterly di-
recuon. Trees as large as n mans waist
were taken down like weeds. After the
storm passed the work of rescuing was
commenced.
AT this writing IL Is known that fifteen
are wounded, and six of them fatally.
Mrs. Ricketts, and man named Bundby
were badly hurt and will die. Mrs. Clarke,
Mrs. Brown and several children Will
probably die. A l0-year-old boy was found
half a mile away, In dying condition.
Others are badly wounded
The path of the cyclone was about one
hundred yards wide and total devasta-
tion marks It's path. Had the storm struck
an hour later fully fifty people would have
been killed or wounded, as at that time the
operators Of the basket factory would
have been at dinner. Fortunately both
factories escaped.
The scene of the storm is a desolate one
now. The work Of rescue goes bravely on
and every few hours a fresh victim is
found. The cloud had the regular funnel
shape, and when 1t struck the town there
was a loud report as of cannon, and
soon the air was fun of flying timbers,
trees, houses animals, etc. Several per-
sons are missing and Il is probable that
they viii be found dead. a meeting of

HANNA RALLYING HIS HOSTS.
The Mckinley Manager Leaves
Cleveland for st. Louis.


Cleveland, O., June 9-Backed up by a
slate made by McKinley's managers, c..
W. Fairbanks Of Indianapolis. VIII be
made temporary chairman of the St. Louis
convention. and Hon. John NJ. Thurston
of Nebraska. will be permanent chairman.
These selections come in the nature of a
surprise, as neither had been prominent
ly mentioned during the canvass for the
positions. 1t had been understood that the
selections would be either Mr.. Merriam of
Minnesota, who refused the honor a month
ago, Mr.. Bulkeley Of Connecticut. eX-CIov.
Alger of Michigan, Congressman Evans
OF Tennessee, Warner Miller of New York
or Gov. Hastings of Pennsylvania, with
Gen Charles II. Grosvenor of OHIO, as a
possibility.
These men were all carefully considered
as to their peculiar fitness for the posi-
tions by McKinleys managers and for one
reason or another We're rejected. During
the heat of the campaign john NJ. Thurs
ton had been one of McKinley's most ac-
tive supporters At one time he was men
toned as the man to make the nomination
speech for Mckinley and when eX-Gov.
Foraker was, given that honor, deal was
made whereby Mr. Thurston was to re-
celYe an equally high honor.
When c. w. Fairbanks was in Cleveland
three weeks ago he was considered as the
proper man TO preside over the conven-
ton during its first arduous deliberations.
His keenness and sagacity as one Of the
first lawyers Of the HoOsier state and q
leader of the state republican forces Decu-
liarly fitted him for the task. Another
strong argument in his favor was that by
thus honOring Indiana, Mckinley would be
assured of its support and effectually Kill

moment

The Boss Trying to Secure Good
Quarters for Them at st. Louis.
Atlanta, Ca, June 9-Col. A. e. Buck.
the republican boss and the Moses of the
Mckinley boom in Georgia, has under
taken to lodge the Georgia delegation to
the st. Louis convention in great style
when they reach the convention city next
week. Reports have been in circulation
from st. Louis that the colored delegates
would find it difficult to get decent accom-
modations during the convention. despite
the promises of the st. Louis committee
when that city was selected by the re-
publican national committee. These re-
ports have caused some uneasiness amone
the cOlOred delegates, who have been told
by the Mckinley and other managers who
have been coaching them that they should
have the best that there was in the shop
when they landed in St. Louis. Col Buck
felt that it would be dangerous to his
prestige in the g. o. p. to take chances
on giving his followers the top of the
pot in the way of hotel accommodations
while they sojOurned in st. Louis, and so
he has sent on in advance Maj. W. II.
Smythe, his confidential man, to prepare
for the reception of the Georgia delega-
ton, nearly all of whom are black Col.
Buck has a high seat on the Mckinley
out all the patronage in Georgia, if his
man is elected, and on this account he
is doubly anxious to deliver the Georgia
delegation solidly and in a good humor
to the Ohio man when the grand round
uD occurs.

FUTURE OF THE BERMUDA.
The Steamer May he sold 60 Secure
American RegIstry.

American Hegistry.
Philadelphia, June 9.-The steamer Ber-
muda, which was recently deprived of her
registry by the British consul at this port
because. It Is said, of her alleged hlibus-
tering expedition. and which has since
been lying at Camden, n. j., was to-day
seized by United States Marshal Pfeffer of
New Jersey, on a libel filed by three sea-
men for unpaid wages. The amount claim
ed by the seamen is S2775. 1t Is claimed
that the filling Of the libel is part of a
plan to secure a registry for her under the
American flag. 1t was stated this after
noon that If the vessel should be sold by
order Of the United States courts and pur-
chased by an American citizen, her past
record would be wiped out and her owner
could procure new papers and sail her un-
der the American flag.
The seamen who brought the proceed
ings are George Mansen, SerVente GOden
and John Petersen. They claim that they
were engaged 70 ship on the steamer on
April IL, when she was preparing for her
last trip to Jamaica. After working for
nine days on the vessel they were told
they claim, that she would probably en-
gage In a hazardous undertaking and they
refused to sign the shipping articles The
mate then gave them an account Of the
wages due them When they presented this
to John ID. Hart, the reputed owner, pay
ment was refused.
Lawyer Harrison H. Voorhees, of
men, denies that the suit
has been instituted, so far as he
knows, to secure new registry for the
steamer. Mr. Voorhees, said: Il under
stand that 1t may be possible to secure a
change In registry in case of a sale, but
have nothing 70 do with that"
The procedure under the libel proceed
ings, according to Lawyer Voorhees,, VIII
be about as follows: The papers in the
suit are made return8ble June 30. II no
defense Is made at tnat time, judgment
will be taken by default and the Bermu-
da Will be advertised for sale by United
States Marshal Pfeffer Of New Jersey
She will be sold for a sum sufficient to
cover the claim Of these seamen and the
costs Of the suit the purchaser will get
title by a decree of the United States dis
trict court approving the sale, and ne
can then make application to have the
vessel registered under this bill Of sale
The vessel is now in charge of deputy
United States marshal who will remain
on board until the Bermuda shall be re-
leased from the jurisdiction of the United
States Ocurt.

Washington, June 9.-The reply of Hon.
John G. Carlisle, secretary Of the treas
ury, to the inquiries of the sub-commit-
tee on finance of the United States Senate
charged with the investigation of the sale
of bonds of the United States in the years
1S9i-95-96 was made public to-day.
The secretary traces the beginning of
the trouble back to the closing year Of
President HarrisOn's administration.
Speaking generally of the various bond
issues, the secretary says: owing to the
discOuraging condition of our financial
affairs and the consequent lack of conf
dence in the ability Of the government
permanently TO maintain and reserve un-
der a system of redemption and Reissue
of notes, very considerable difficulty was
encountered in effecting the loan invited
by the appeals of Jan. "A, 1884, and at one
time pending the call it was feared that
the effort would fail. However owing to
the extraordinary eXertiOns made during
the last two or three days preceding the
time when the bids were to be opened sub
scrlpuons for the whole amount were Sc
cured.
was made the emergency was so pressing
that the whole purpose of the loan would
have been defeated II the replenishment
of the reserve had been postponed for a
sufficient length of time to advertise for
bids, and besides it was exceedingly
doubtful whether under the circun-

were necessary for the preservation Of

curity of the business interests of the
people, and that they, in fact, accom-
plished those results.
