feeble hopes that the other s!gnatories
Of the Berlin treaty, anxious as they
were to end the intolerable state OF
things. would be able to devise any
cure for the sore disease afflicting that
portion of the Turkish empire.
The government. Mr.. Balfour con
tiLued, was considering sending Brit

troops engaged in the suppression ol
disorder, with the view Of acquiring
some guarantee that no excesses were
committed.

one and half miles north of here, al
2 a. m. and as result eleven persons
are dead. four are fatally injured and
dozen are more or less seriously
hurt, while the destruction to the prop

The dead are Henry Mccoy and
three children, c. c. Oden and three
children and John Griffin, wife and

The storm came from the southeast
and its roar was SO terrifying that 1t
awakened many people, some Of whom
fed from their houses in time to es-
cape death by having the houses blown
down on them.
Buildings were tossed about like pa
per boxes and several structures were
blown a hundred yards or more. The
body of Mccoy, who was prominent
farmer, was blown 200 yards and
landed In z sandpit. The houses of
the Oden and Griffin families were
smashed to splinters and it seems mar
velous that any of their occupants es-
capped death. Trees were uprooted In
all directions and many were blown
across the Louisville and Nashville
railroad track, delaying trains for a
time. The roar Of the storm was heard
at Hanceyville, where it awoke many
people, but no damage was done here
AS soon as the destruction wrought
became known here rescuers hurried
to the scene to give attention to tho

noon stood at eleven, but it is possible
that it may be larger, as some of The
