SOUTHERN CYCLONE
Leaving in Its Wake at Least
 Forty Dead.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 21.-A ter rife cyclone, moving in a northwest erly direction, swept through Missis- sippi and a portion of Tennessee last night, causing a heavy loss of life and property. The storm completIy in terrupted telegraph and telephone con- nections, but from meagre details ob- tGinable, covering only three points, it appears that nineteen lives were lost, and the destruction of property was very heavy.
 At Columbia, Tenn, the storm only lasted five minutes and travelled in a well-defined path a thousand feet wide, in which the devastation was complete A freight train on the Nashville. Flor ence and Sheffield railroad was lifted from the track, but the passengers were uninjured. Many houses were unroofed or blown down, and it is be lieved that when the outlying farms are heard from the list of dead will be greatly increased.
 The latest reports now indicate that at least forty persons were killed in the tornado.

A SERIOUS CHARGE
Made Against Ernest Scott, Colored,
 Yesterday.

Ernest Scott, a young negro whose
 criminal tendencies have frequently
 landed him in the county jail, was locked up again yesterday afternoon on the serious charge of an assault, on ,.he night before, upon two young girls, one fifteen and the other sixteen. near the Crittentonhome. It is not necessary at this time that their names should
 be printed. They were on their way home about o'clock from an enter tainment which had been given at the Rescue home. In a lonely spot man sprang out from behind a clump of of bushes and seized one of the girls. The other made an outcry and dragged her companion out of the grasp of her assailant. Both ran blindly into a barbed wire fence, and the girl who had been assaulted tainted, for the as sailant had been recognized by both as a colored man. She recovered quickly and the girls made their way to the nearest house, which happened to be the home of one of the girls. The other was quite naturally afraid to go On to her home alone. In about an hour a brother of her companion came and accompanied her home. On his return he encountered Scott lolterlnS about the house and recognized him.
 The incident created a stir in that immediate neighborhood that night, and Miss Broadbooks, the matron of the home, telephoned to the sheriff's office. Scott was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Billy Moore about o'clock yesterday. He admitted that he had been in the neighborhood of the home the night before, and admitted that he had met two girls. In passing he said his hand struck the hand or dress of one of them. She screamed and both ran. He offered no explanation of his presence in that neighborhood or for his lingering there an hour or more. Late yesterday afternoon both girls went to Justice JohnstOne's of flee and made a formal complaint against Scott, but no warrant has yet been issued. That will probably be done this morning after consultation with the district attorney.
