SWEPT BY A TORNADO.
Six Persons Killed and Others In
juredat Union, S. c.
A Knitting Mill, School House and
TWO Residences Caught the Full
Force and Were Converted
Into KndIing Wood.

Union, S. c., May 26.-Six people
were killed and several injured by
tornado which swept over this section
of the state at o'clock Sunday after
noon. The main storm came from the
north. It seems there was also one
from the southwest and that both met
in this vicinity. The storm from the
north was preceded by a heavy rain
and what appeared to be a dark mass
of clouds about LOO yards wide which
travelled with great speed. One wing
of the storm passed along Main street
and blew in several store fronts, doing
much damage to stocks.
knitting Mill hill, south of town,
caught the full force of the tornado,
which blew down the school house
and two residences there, converting
them literally into kindling wood. The
occupants ran from one of the houses
when it went to pieces and took ref
uge in another nearby, but this house
was also crushed to splinters. In this
house Misses Sallie Hart and Annie
Lawson was instantly killed, Mrs.
Maxey Sims died in an hour and her
little daughter, Vera, died about 8
o'clock. Maxey Sims escaped with
broken fingers. Lee Sims received
several cuts on the head from falling
timbers and was internally injured.
Mr.. Mabrey sustained a fractured
shoulder and his leg was badly burn
ed by a stove falling on him. He was
also internally injured and may die.
Mrs. Lee Sims received a bad but
not fatal, cut on the head. Mrs. Ma
brey and her two other children escap-
ed with slight. injuries. ~
It took some time to get the vic
tins from the debris. Every physi-
clan in town was called and were as
sisted by the citizens in relieving the
sufferers as much as possible. Every
thing that the families had was de-
stroyed.

MORE ERUPTIoNs.

other eruption the night of Sunday,
May IS, caused a greater fall of ashes
and stones and more CONSERVATION at
Chateau Belair, Island of st. Vincent,
than resulted from the eruption or
May z.
Shortly after the appearance OF a
cloud May is, which was belched from
the mountain, Egyptian darkness en-
veIoped the village of Chateau Bslair.
The inhabitants rent the air with
shrieks and CROPPED against the banks
of the road leading to Cumberland in
their efforts to flee from the threat
ened danger. Many persons had limbs
broken. The darkness lasted one hour,
but the exodus from Chateau Belair
continued all night.
Decorations and smoke and lava
from the volcano continued the next
day, May 19, and the people still tried
to leave Chateau ~Belair for Kings
town and other towns. A heavy rain
fall occurred at Chateau Belair the
18th, the first in the district for two
month, and the streets, huts and shops
were flooded.
AS the volcanic eruptions dimin-
ished after the 18th some 80 of the
inhabitants returned to Chateau Bel
air. But they are still apprehensiye.
Kingstown is longing for rain. The
heat and dryness here is unprece-
denied. There is no hope for the re-
suscitation of the Carib country for
years to come. The canal that sup
piled water to that country for domes-
tic or manufacturing purposes has
dried up, and the districts desolated.
The government is treating for the
purchase of an estate upon which to
settle the refugees and carpenters who
are engaged in erecting huts, on safe
locations, to relieve the congestion in
Kingstown.

of St. Lucia, and inspired them with
awe. Vivid flashes of lightning were

The number of new craters in the

there are apparently four active era

heard and vapOr is still issuing from

the lava is flowing. Mt. Enham shows
no distinct signs of activity. The

he looted out on what was to him a novel

had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes, he ran into the
street. He stopped and gathered handfuls
of snow and threw them in the air; he
jumped into a drift and sent it flying with
his feet; he finally lay down and rolled in
tall this time shouting and laughing at
the top of his voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered to
watch his antics went up to him and told
him how his mother used to cure fits and
volunteered to try it on him.

Washington, May 26.-Amid the en-
thusiastic demonstrations of a great
concourse of people the superb bronze
statue of Gen. Count de Rochambeau,
who brought the forces of France
across the sea at the hours of greatest
peril in the American revolution, was
unveiled Saturday. Seldom has an
event presented so many brilliant fea-
lures of pageantry and at the same
time given occasion for the manifes-
tatiOn of the strong bonds of friend
ship existing between the French re-
public and the United States.
The members of the French mis-
sion which came to Washington to
attend the ceremonies incident to the
unwilling of the ROchambeau statue
finished their visit here Sunday and
Sunday night left the city for Niagara
Falls on their weeks tour of the east
before sailing for home There were
no formal functions on the pro-
gramme for the day, but the visitors
found every minute of their time oc-
cupied in attending divine service, re-
turning numerous calls, official and
otherwise and in drives about the city
and suburbs.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 26-Walter
VroOman, of the western cooperative
movement, has closed contracts for
the purchase of six OF the largest
wheat elevators in the Kansas wheat
belt and two of the largest Touring
mills. The price paid is said to have
been $780, 600, and Mr.. Vrooman, who
has left for New York to complete the
financial end of the plan, says the
present purchase is but the beginning
of a movement to center the farmers
of Kansas in a cooperative branch of
the Vrooman Cooperative Co. The
concern will be known as the Wheat
and Flour Western Cooperative Co.
The farmers are to be taken into the
scheme upon the payment of 500 each
Tor which they are to receive the mar
ket value of their wheat sold to the
company and in addition will receive
one-half of the profit derived, the 9th
er half gong to cooperative stores
through which the wheat and flour
will be handled.
"The plan," said Mr.. Vrooman, lis
to eliminate wheat spectators and
