HEART RESDING DEATH LIST.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2S.-The aw-
full sweep of last nights tornado is
marked today by a devastated dis.
trict in the Southwestern portion of
the city, half mile wide and four
miles long, with wrecked buildings,
tottering walls, debris, choked streets
and rescuing parties to tell the story
of havoc and death.
St. Louis is dazed by the extent of
the calamity and it >will be days be-
fore the total loss of life and the
amount of property destroyed will be
known.
The estimates OF the number killed
vary from 300 to 500, with the belief
general that the latter figure is the
nearer correct.
Coroner Waite says the death list in
St. Louis proper would easily reach
200, and in East st. Louis it would be
perhaps as large.
At police headquarters the dead in
st. Louis are estimated at 800 and in
East St. Louis at geo. Extra editions
of the local papers place the total loss
of life at 500 or more.
The storm left its path Uttered with
dead and dying, and patrol wagons,
ambulances and undertakers' cars
were busy all day long carrying the
identified dead to their homes and the
homes of relatives and friends, or
leaving the unidentified with the city
morgue authorities.
The property loss is terrific, esti-
mates ranging from $4,000, 900 to
s30,0O0,0O0.
The storm which wrought the havoc
was most peculiar one and scarcely
two people in all the city agree as to
just how the damage was done. The
wind seemed to take the form OF
tornado rather than that OF a cyclone,
the wrecked buildings showing none Of
the twisted irons and girders which
usually mark the trail Of rotary
wind storm. The general trend was
from Southwest to Northeast, through
the centre of the business district
district of the city to about a mile
North of the city.
The first heavy damage was in the
vicinity of Lower Grove and LaFay-
ette Parks, where handsome residences
were wrecked and many persons in
jured. The tornado swept from the
Northeast as far as the river, when,
with sudden turn to the North, it
cleared the Mississippi and tore its
way into the heart Of East St. Louis.
One of the remarkable features was
the destruction of wing of the city
hospital, carrying 200 patients and
nurses down in the wreck, and kill
ing but one person.
It will be several days before def
mite information can be obtained as to
the loss of life and injury. In addi-
ton to the killed and injured in St.
Louis and East st. Louis, the cyclone
moved down many people in other
places. Dispatches received by the AS
sociated Press give accounts of serious
loss of life and maimings in quite
number of places. Appended is ia
BILE showing the latest careful estimate
of killed and injured, based on the
dispatches:

Fifty Children Killed.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Oficiais of the
Chicago and Alton received tele-
gram tonight from Rush Hill, Mo-, a
small place in Audrin County, II
miles from Mexico, Mo. The wind
struck Rush Hill about o'clock. The
school house, filed with children, was
crushed before the pupils could es.

house are reported killed.

result in no election by the Electoral
College. The bolt might be extended
to the House of Representatives and
party lines might be broken there,
as well as in the general election.
This is the way the vote would stand
the vote by States being determined
by the financial views OF a majority
of each delegation.

Suicide ct u Church.

New ORLEANS, May 27.-MrS. Ada

by taking carbolic acid.

1t will be straddle or bolt at
Chicago.
More likely than not it will be a bolt
at ST.. Louis of the free silver Republi-
cans, says the New York Herald, be-
cause the gold standard men already
count $50 of the 919 delegates.
Whether it be bolt at Chicago of the
sound money Democrats or Of the free
silver Democrats, or whether the par
ty compromises on meaningless plat
form, the indications are overwhelm-
ing that the free silver element of both
parties will be shouting for third
ticket, pledged to the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver in the coming
campaign.
What would be the result of the
third ticket on the vote in the Electo.
raj College? The situation is full of
surprising possibilities. The Third
Party movement is already being
planned. The Populists and other al
lied organizations are waiting with
open arms for Teller. of Colorado, to
lead the bolt from the st. Louis con-
vention. They are preparing to burn
tar barrels should Bland, of Missouri,
and his followers either win or bolt at
Chicago. Should silver dominate the
Democratic party they are willing to
indofse the Democratic ticket and let
the gold standard men do the boiling
and the nominating of a third ticket.
HOW THE STATES VOTED.
To get at the likelihood Of party
lines flying to pieces first glance at the
electoral vote of 1892, when Cleveland
led the Democrats, Harrison the Re
publlcans and Weaver the Populists.
This is the way the States voted that
year
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-06-03

Cleveland four years ago might rea-
sonably be expected to vote for the
Republican nominee.
THE RESULT OF 4 BOLT.
This table may be regarded as fair
ly accurate forecast of how the states
will vote if both parties favor sound
money and the Western and Southern
silver men name ticket of their own:

The number of injured really IS. So
far as absolute facts are concerned,
nothing definite can be learned before
tomorrow.
To add to the dismal situation, the
rain which fell shortly after the tor
nado passed, began again about 7:30
o'clock and is now coming down IN
torrents. 1t is impossible to get re-
ports from the police stations, where
many of the dead and injured have
been taken, and consequently all
statements IN regard to the dead and
wounded up to the present time are
the merest con lectures, but there is no
doubt that the loss of life is greater
than anything the country has known
since the disaster at Johnstown, Pa.
Three fire alarms were sent IL to-
night from a poor house which had
1900 inmates. The roof Of that struc-
ture was blown off and it is feared
that the number of fatalities there is
great. The loss of life on the river
was great. til reported that the mag
nlicent steamer Grand Republic was
sunk with all on board. The steamer
D. II. Pike, with thirty passengers on
board, bound up the river for Peoria,
was blown bottomside up. The steam
er Conger was blown nearly across
the river and sank at point opposite
Carondelet, ten miles below. TIE
steamer Dauphin, a pleasure boat,
containing 20 women passengers and
i crew of + men, was blown against
the middle pier of the Eads bridge
and broken in two. The steamer Lib
bic Conger of the Diamond 10 Line,
with Captain Zaman, his wife and the
crew Of six men, was sunk.

and helpful part in influencing Its moral and
spiritual life.
Father Cory was man of great energy and
more than ordinary intelligence. His business
life was varied. Beginning In poverty, he fought
mis- way TO independence, and maintained high
place In the business world. but series OF mis-
fortunes reduced him to poverty, but did not dis
courage or dishearten him.
For many years he wandered In the wilder
ness of doubt. and starved on the husks of ma
ferialism. His scoffng was open and sometimes
offensive. This continued until some twelve
years ago. when a change came over him almost
as sudden as to st. Paul. and which equally In
fiuenced all his after life. He was moved at
that time by some motive to attend a series of
meetings being held by the pastor of the Uni
versalst church. He was attentive and inter-
ested from the beginning. He was great lover
OF music. and his soul opened to its sweetest
strains. In this receptive mood the choir
sang the song In which these words occur:
" There is light in the Bible that shines through
the valley of DEATH" The young lady who led
the singing seemed. though all unconscious of
the fact. to direct the sentiment of the song to
Father Cory. Itentered his heart, and stirred
his soul until his strong frame shook like an
aspen. He went home but the song so affected
him that he could not Sleep
He came to church the next evening and was
greatly interested and serious, and on the follow.
ing evening came forward and asked the fellow
ship OF the church, and was ioyfully received
He grew marvelously in grace and the knowl-
edge of the truth. The scoffer of years appeared
to stand in the very presence of God, and talk
to him face to face. Many who read these lines
have been lifted to spiritual heights by his pray
ers.
Like Paul be was not unmindful of the heaven
ly vision, but spent the remaining years of his
life In faithful. Jealous work, to bring others to
a like precious faith. At the funeral, by his re-
questwas sung the song which had played SO
important part in the transforming of his life.
Though we shall see his face no more, yet the
remembrance of his life remains to cheer and
bless. JHR

THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY. JULY IA.

AS anticipated when the paper went
to press last week, the triumph OF the
silver element in the Democratic Con-
vention was made complete in the adop-
ton of the platform declaring for free
coinage at the ratio Of 16 to l, and the
nomination of candidates in harmony
with that idea. The nomination was
reached on Friday, July 10, in the after
noon, when William Jennings Bryan of
Nebraska was chosen as the nominee for
President of the United States. After
four ballots had been taken the names Of
Bland, Boies, Matthews and Blackburn
we're Withdrawn. and the nomination of
Bryan was made unanimous on the fifth
ballot. The solid delegation from New
York and many of the gold delegates
from other States declined to take part in
the proceedings. 1t is said that another
convention will be held in Chicago by
the sound money Democrats and sepa-
rate National ticket placed in the feel d..
On Saturday afternoon Alfred Sewall Of
Maine was nominated for Vice President
after prolonged struggle.
