has already been gathered. The exhib-

house and deposited in n].sdhole un-

John Richardson, who was also
blown "a rods, was injured internally
and little hope is entertained for his
recovery. ("Jack" did recover, how
ever, and now resides in this city and
is one of the youngest great-grand-
fathers in the state.-Ed.)
Mr.. Richardson and his wife, who
were sleeping in the northwest corner
of the house downstairs, escaped I'M

When all the balance was gone, the
logs in that corner of the lower story
remained standing and the baby was
found quietly sleeping IN the bed.
George Richardson aged II years
was carried several rods, and his limb
broken square off just above the ankle.
His recovery depends on cool weather
and good care, which all the suffers
of course receive. (He afterwards
died of his injuries.-Ed.]
The roof and second story of Jacob
Harmon's house were taken off and
four children were blown out among
the flying, falling timbers. Singularly
enough none of them were severely
injured. They must have fallen at
least fifteen feet. A rafter was driv-

two of the children had been sleep

Benson Harmon's house was un-
rooted but no other damage was done.
Mr.. Mark Mallory's house was I'M
rooted and Mr.. L. Allen and two chill

None were injured here.
The storm seemed to exert its ut
most force on Mr.. George Rockwells

as we can judge, at the beginning and

FINANCIAL PANIC OF 1887

Political rancor was at its height
when Andrew jackson vetoed the bill

deposits, under which opposition the
bank collapsed and a vast number OF
state banks competed for the bust

In the history of banking the year
Of 1887 Is prominent for one OF the
worst panics that was ever known In
America, which resulted In the failure
OF many banks and universal suspen-
sion of specie payments throughout

most ready to lynch the ex-governor

He sat down on a messed boulder.
breathless, his eyes sparkling. He had
thought himself almost beggar, and
here in his hand was a small fortune!
Talk about engagement rings!" he
muttered. why. a dozen of these

with sod roofs and window-panes Of
fiour-sacking. Fences and outhouses
there was none. Uttered paths ram
bled aimlessly hither and thither from
chip-strewn yards to starved patches
of corn, under-cultivated and blighted.
Over the whole place hung an indie
scribable atmosphere Of disconsolate
filth, of unredeemed squalor and vile
ness.
With one hand on the dogs collar.
hushing him to silence, Valiant, un-
seen, looked at the wretched place
with a shiver. He had glimpsed many
wretched purlieus in the slums Of
great cities, but this. in the open sun
light, with tho clean woods about 1t
and the sweet clear blue above, stood
out with an unrelieved holiness and
contrast that was doubly sinister and
forbidding. He knew instantly that
the tawdry corner was the community
known as Hell's-Half-Acre, the place
to which Shirley had made her night
ride to rescue Hickey Snyder.
A quick glad realization of her coar-
age rushed through him. On its heels
came feeling of shame that a spot
like this could exist, foul blot on
such landscape. 1t was on his own
land! It's denizens held place by
sQuatter sovereignty. but he was.
nevertheless, their landlord. The
thought bred a new sense of RESPONSE
bility. Something should be done for
them, too.
AS he gazed, an uproar In a cabin
reached climax. A red-bearded fig
ure In nondescript garments shot from
the door and collapsed in heap in
the dirt. He got up with a dreadful
oath--a Jug thrown at him grazing
his temple as he did so-and shaking
his fist behind him. staggered into a
nearby lean-to.
Valiant turned away with a feeling
almost Of nausea, and plunged back
down the forest hillside.
