Wishes of tho Widow.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 2.-western
Pennsylvania is in mourning to-day
over the death of Colone. Hawkins. Of
the Tenth Pennsylvania, who died on
the transpor. Senator. Genuine sorrow
Is expressed and flags are flying at half
mast in ever? town from which mem
bers OF the Tenth were recruited. The
feeling OF gloom is particularly heavy
Mt Washington, the colonel's home.
There the residents can talk nothing
but the sad news and the usual busi-
ness activity Of the place is missing,
while the people go about in half
dazed sort Of way. Mrs. Hawkins is
bearing up brayely under her ahiictlon
and is receiving coincidence and sympa-
thy from all sections Of the state.
When asked as to the disposition Of
her husbands remains she expressed q
desire that the colonel should be buried
with all the honors Of war, and II pos
sible she would like the Tenth regiment
to act as escort for the body. This
request has been telcgraphed Colonel
Barrett with the request that he endea-
yor to have the war department
through Major General shafter. carry
out the desires. The reply from Col
Barnett will shape future arrangements
OF the reception committee, which had
already made extensive preparations
for the appropriate welcome of the re-
turning soldiers.

Just before the close Of the war de-
partment to-day a final decision was
reached to send the troops from Fort

locating the troops so far south. but
General Merritt held that It would be
fatal, in case any OF the men were In
fected, to take them north.
Secretary Root to-day found that the
care OF the old soldiers ut the Hampton
home was entirely within the power OF
the national board OF soldiers homes.
and informed the board that the war
department would do anything possible
TO assist It in combating the fever.
Word to that effect was sent to Sur

tornado swept over this city this after
noon, doing great damage. Houses,
churches, factories and all buildings in
the storm path, which was three blocks
wide, suffered. The storm came from
the southwest and passed to the north
west. Its velocity was sixty miles an
hour and Its duration ten minutes. The
towers Of the First Presbyterian. Third
Presbyterian and Central Baptist
churches were thrown down. The Ly-
ceum theatre was totally unroofed and
the Star theatre roof was ripped on

Scores OF dwelling houses are with
out roofs. The streets are filled with
debris.
Trees and electric poles went down
before the gale. No one was killed or
even seriously hurt. but many persons
received slight injuries.
The roof was lifted of three-story
shirt factory in which several score OK
girls and men were at work, and the
building was down uVe lnCneS Out VI

out OF upper stories and scattered bu-
reaus, bedsteads and chairs through the
air and deposited them In streets and
yards many blocks distant. When
the First Presbyterian church tower
crashed down It fell upon the graves In
the church yard. This caused an up
heaval Of the earth and brought to the
surface skeletons and skulls that had
long lain under ground. Old trees in
the churchyurd were uprooted and
these brought up in their roots other
skeletons and skulls. These. washed
clean by the heavy rain. lay white in
the evening sun. The streets are al

Electric wires are coIled in fearful
tanEle, mixed with wrecked portions OF
houses, roofs, cornlces, furniture and
small buildings which were whipped
from their foundations and piled In the
streets and against the sides OF build
Ings against which they landed. The
rain which poured down into the houses
and buildings that were unroofed, half

everything on the lower floors.
