Jumps From St. Louis Bridge.

ST. Louis, May s5-Kearney Speedy,
known all over the country as nervy
bridge jumper, dived from the Mer-
chants bridge into the Mississippi river
today and escaped unhurt. The dis
tance was 80 feet, and the fact that the
river was very high and running with
driftwood made the feat a perilous one.

Wednesdays Storm One of the Most
Destructive on Record.
HAVOC IN THREE STATES.
Cyclone Sweeps Through Iowa, Illinois
and Wisconsin, Leaving Trail of
Death and Destruction Behind 1t.
Damage to Property Immense.

CHICAGO, May lg.-Conductor E. D.
Carroll of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul railroad, who arrived in this
city today, after a run Of over $50 miles
through the storm center in Iowa and
Illinois yesterday, says: "The first
reports received Of the deaths and dis
aster caused by this storm fail to give
the full account of the havoc worked.
When full reports are received, be-
lieve it will appear that yesterdays
storm was one of the most destructive
on record. At Elwood, point half
way between Marion and the Missis-
sippi river, the worst havoc was
wrought. Several people were killed,
and the buildings of the town were
swept from their foundations. At Del
mar Junction l received news that four
persons had been killed At Briggs
station. report was brought of many
buildings leveled and two persons
killed. At Preston, five persons were
reported dead, and then the train
crossed the Mississippi river into Illi-
nois. At Savanna, news was received
of the killing of four persons at Teade's
Grove, the first station east of that city.
All along the line of the Milwaukee
road, from Savanna across the state,
We're received reports of violent and
destructive storms. The property loss
by this storm cannot be titly described.
At Stillman Valley we had the first
view by daylight of the awful devasta-
tion wrought by the storm. A section
of the village about 40 rods in breadth
was SO completely razed that not a sin
gle piece of wood a yard in length could
be seen. Eleven persons were killed in
Stillman Valley. At Marion Mr.. Gar
roll says there was very heavy storm
of rain, hail and wind. AT Savanna
hailstones that measured seven inches
in circumference fell After it had
passed Stillman Valley the storm turned
to the north and wrought destruction
in Wisconsin. But for course of l8
miles it followed the easterly track Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
road, and left death and devastation in
its path. Mr.. Carroll relates that at
Delinger Junction man drove up to
the station, gave his horses loose reins
and rushed into the depot for shelter.
A moment later the cyclone, sweeping
the edge of the building, caught the
horses and hurled them through the
station, killing both of them So vio-
lent was the wind that their carcasses
were torn apart.

SPANISH ARMADAPENNED IN
Commodore schley Is on Guard Out
side the HarbOr.
HAS DoNs' FLEET AT HIS MERCY
Washington officials Have No Direct OIL
cial Information, but Express the
Opinion That Press Rep orts Are
Doubtless Correct.

WASHINGTON, May Secretary OF
the Navy Long was at the White hous e
twice this morning to see the president,
spending only few minutes each time.
On leaving the second time he made the
important announcement of the safe al.
rival of the battleship Oregon at Jupiter
Inlet, Fla, about midnight last night.
Secretary Long stated that while no
official advices had been received of the
bottling up of the Spanish feet in the
harbor at Santiago de Cuba by Com
modore Schley's squadron, there was
every reason to believe such was the
case. There is so little room for doubt
ing the report that Admiral Cervera
and his vessels are penned in the har-
Dor by Commodore Schley's squadron
that Secretary Longs statement that
there was every reason to believe it, was
supplemente by the president, who in
reply to inquiries from congressional
callers said that it was undoubtedly
true.
Commodore Sch1ey's catching up
with the Cervera feet was q source Of
much congratulation, for in the confer
ences that took place in the White
house there was feeling that it
brought the end of the war much
nearer.
Asked as to the possibility of a ruse
of some sort arising from Admiral Ger.
vera's deliberately entering the harbor
under the circumstances, Secretary
Long said the purposes of the Spanish
could be only conjectured, but that il
might be they went into Santiago fol
coaling. While refraining from dis
cussing specifically the matter of rein.
forcements and the dispatch of Admira
SIMPSONS fleet, now asserted to be in
the neighborhood of Havana, to San,
tiago Secretary Long had no hesitation
in saying Commodore Schley could
have whatever aid he wanted.
It is expected that the last cable con.
nection between Cuba and Madrid will
be cut today.
The safe arrival of the Oregon at
Jupiter Inlet, Fla, is spoken of with
great satisfaction by members of the
cabinet. Captain CLARK, in his message
to the secretary of the navy, reports
his safe arrival there and says that he
is in condition for immediate active
operations at the front. Taken alto
gether, the news of the day is highly
satisfactory and it is confidently ex
pected that should the Spanish attemp
to force passage to sea the news of tht
total destruction of their fleet may bt
expected at any time.

FOUR PERSONS, names unknown.
Hundreds of Cattle Killed.

The storm, which worked such de-
vastation in the rich farming counties
along the eastern border of Iowa and
western illinois, started shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday morning mile south
of Stanwood. From Stanwood the
storm moved rapidly in northeasterly
direction, passing over the northeastern
part Of Clinton county and then over
the southern portion Of Jackson county
This section of the state is thickly set
tied. No towns were in the path of the
storm, but farm houses and barns were
torn to pieces by the score. The storm
was seen approaching by many OF the
farmers and they sought refuge in the
cellars. The path Of the storm varied
from 10 rods in some parts of Clinton
county to 50 rods in Jackson county.
Trees and outhouses were torn to
pieces. Roofs Of farm houses were
lifted like straw and carried half a
mile along the path of the storm and
then hurled against the walls of big
stock barns, cutting them in two and
killing hundreds of cattle which had
taken shelter in the sheds from the
storms fury. Half dozen school
buildings are known to have been de-
stroyed, but it is not thought that any
of the pupils perished, most of them
having just about reached home when
the storm broke out.
Near Preston more buildings were
destroyed than in any other locality.
Winds whirled through the little vii.
lage with frightful velocity, leaving
scarcely house standing. Five per-
sons lost their lives here Charles T.
Lora, with his wife and three children,
had their home torn to pieces and were
crushed under the falling walls.
The cyclone crossed to Illinois be-
tween Savannah and Thompson One
family of four persons was wiped out
nenr Savanna. Passing to the. east,
much damage was done, but it was con-
| fined almost entirely to outbuildings.
and no lives, so far as heard, have been
lost in Illinois except those mentioned
near Savannah. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires are down in all directions,
but it is believed that the storm spent
its force shortly after pass es over Sa.
vannah.
Another tornado formed at Am boy,
Ills, shortly before dark last evening.
The storm cloud formed about six miles
south of Amboy and took an easterly
course. 1t travelled about 20 miles with
out changing its course and destroyed
everything in its path. Orchards, farm
houses and barns were destroyed, but
no lives are known to have been lost
Owing to the peculiar atmospheric con,
ditions prevailing all the afternoon, the
inhabitants were on the lookout for just
what happened. At the first alarm they
took to the cellars, but many of then
were imprisoned for hours by the tim.
bers of their wrecked homes. Live
stock suffered considerably, and the los
to property will amount to thousand
of dollars.
A general storm was prevalent il
Wisconsin, and farm property suffered
great loss.
In Amigo, Wis, scores of houses wer
leveled, many were unroofed, and
score of people We're injured. The cleo
trio light plant and water works wer
wrecked.

dence, and was amazed at the elegant line
Of goods shown to him, both in suits and
overcoats, at $3.50. These gentlemen
are artists in their line. and pay as much
attention to an order of $3.50 as they
would on one at $50. The uniforms worn
by the employees of Keith's New Theatre,
Providence Opera House, and also the
Olympic Theatre, are gems OF the tailor
ing art, as they both designed and made
all the above uniforms. The beauty Of it
is, all their garments are cut and made
on the premises under their personal su-
pervision. Mr.. Teran of the above firm
was connected with the Six Little Tsilors
for eight years, and Mr.. Whitebone for
fourteen years. Both OF these gentlemen
were in the Providence house of the Six
Little Tailors during the time of their
doing business here, and consequently
are well known.
