Death and Desolation in Cyclone

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, July 81
Death and desolation followed rapidly In
the wake of a cyclone which swept across
this section of the country last night.
Seven persons were killed outright and
three fatally injured.
The day had been one Of great oppres-
siveness. The heat had been almost I'M
bearable, and only those whose occupa-
ton brought them out on the street were
to be seen.
In the evening the clouds began to pile
up in black, ominous banks and the air
became more oppressive. The clouds were
accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning
which seemed to rend the heavens and
loud crashings of reverberating thunder.
In many instances occupants OF houses
took refuge in their cellars.
Just before I o clock tunnelshapcd
cloud separated itself from the others and
came rushing with frightful velocity to-
ward the town The house and barn on
the farm Of Dr. 4. c. Mcdowell lay dl-
rectly in its path. The Mcdowell home
stead was torn in fragments. The barn
met the same fate and with its contents
was swept out Of sight. Inside the house
the family of Dr. Mcdowell, consisting OF
five members, had taken refuge, together
with Mrs. Samuel Brownlee and her three
children and Miss Jessie Groves, the
daughter of neighbor, who had come to
the McDowells to spend the evening.
When the cyclone struck the honse every
thing it contained was swept i'll every dl
rection. Buried beneath the ruins were
all the occupants Of the house.
Following the cyclone came IA deluge of
water resembling cloudburst.
Neighbors who had witnessed the de
struction of the Mcdowell homestead bur
riedly summoned assistance. Those who
were alive beneath the ruins were taken
out AS soon as possible, and carried to
meighboring farmhouses, where their IN
iuries were given medical attention.
The dead received the next attention.
These were Dr. A. {. Mcdowell, Mrs.
Samuel Brownlee and her three children,
Jessie Groves and grandson of the Nc
Dowells. Their bodies were fearfully torn
and man.led by the force with which they
had been tossed about i'll the ruins Of the
house The cyclone also struck the farm
Of John Mcdowell, but did no damage
there beyond destroying his barn and Il
fine walnut grove The house escaped
the cloud which passed within Il few feet.

Mosquitoes Invade Delaware.

GEORGETOWN, DEL, August An
army Of Jersey mosquitoes has crossed the
Delaware Bay, and taken possession Of
Lower Sussex county. The pestiferous
insects made their appearance last Monday,
and have been tormenting people of this
section day and night. The plague they
have caused has become 50 bad that the
summer camp meetings which were to last
ten days have been temporarily suspended.
On Friday night while Rev. Joshua Alb
bolt was offering a prayer at colored
camp meeting near Gravely Hill, flock
of mosquitoes attacked him, and flying
into his mouth, caused him to choke al
most to death, and put stop to the SCI
vices. The plague has caused the negroes
to become wild with superstition. Many
of them pray all day for it to cease. The
negroes believe that the plague is the fore
runner of big drouth, during which the
world will be burned by the sun. The
plague has assumed such proportions that
tonight this town, Milton and Lewes are
in darkness, the residents of each having
agreed not to burn or permit to be burned
a lamp or gas jet after shutdown.

Large Hay Crop Promised.

CANAJoHARIE, N. Y, Aug. RE
ports received from the New England,
Middle and Western States by the Hay
Trade Journal shows the conditional aver
age of the hay crop to be 81 per cent,
that of the whole country 925 per cent,
with 2 per cent. increased acreage, indi-
eating the largest crop grown in many
years. On this account, it is thought,
there will be large attendance at the
National Hay Convention to be held at
Pittsburg on the 10th, 18th and 18th of
this month.

HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA, Aug. /
Reports received here yesterday from the
eastern portion of the State, which was
visited by the destructive hailstorm OF

crops between Elrod and Hetland. The

all suffered crops losses by hail during the
past four DAYS.
