"A I'lIN .Inly 7.—A tCTrililc tnni:i(|,i struolc this i-ity a little aftor ft o'clock Monday morning, passintf from soutInvest to northeast. Tlie cyclone entered the city at the (iariff brickyard, parsed up throu^'li Cattishtown, and struck tiie hill just oast of Mr. John .)i linson'» residence. Its path continued in a northeasterly direction, crossing- Nortli boulevard 100 yards to the cast of the governor's mansion. It then went north, striking the penitentiary building- and the J. A. Dougherty residence on North street, and tlicnce beyond tlie city. The cyclone was :i(IO yards wide, and ricocheted aloiitf its course like a cannon ball, devastating as it went. In the city no one was killed, though several persons were seriously injured.

The state penitentiary was partially wrecked. Ten convicts were killed and thirty-live injured, five of these dangerously. There were forty prisoners at work in tin? pants factory at the time of the crash, anil of that number six were killed and twentytwo were wounded and horribly crushed. On the second story or central lloor was the hospital, where twenty sick prisoners lay undergoing medical treatment, of which number four were killed anil fourteen seriously if not fatally injured. The lire alarm was soun 'cd and the entire (Ire department was summoned to tlie scene of the dreadful catastrophe, and together with the citizens and prison otlicials, aiiled by the uninjured prisoners, worked vigorously for the rescue of the unfortunates who lay confined under the great heap of debris that was thickly strewn over every quarter of the premises. Scenes of the greatest horror greeted the eyes of those engaged in the rescuing work, and thi* pitiful wails and death groans from the men buried out of sight by massive heaps of bricks and mortar could be heard arising from every part of the wreck.

Of

the number wounded

about six arc expected to die. and the recovery of several of the others is extremely doubtful. The total damage to the penitentiary building is estimated at .SMO.OOO.

The tow boat Smoky City was caught in the cyclone at !i:.rU a. m. Smiles below I'.aton Kouge. The entire cabin was blown wn. The cscape of the crew from death was somewhat wonderful considering the fact tlint they were asleep and that the greatest possible damage was done to the boat by the violence of the storm. Johnson, a colored lireman, wa blown overboard and drowned Kight members of the crew -re inju: cd.

In the city -fifty houses at least were unroofed or destroyed. Mr. J. II. Young and members of his family were seriously hurt by the collapse of their house on St. Charles street. Mrs. Cotton, son and two daughters, living in a brick house on Main street, were injured iu the falling of the building. Mrs. Cotton received a dangerous blow in the back of the head and also internal injuries, while one of the girls was cut on the leg. Mrs. Cotton, it is thought, will recover. There were no others seriously hurt. The governor's residence was partially demolished, and the roof of a handsome residence belonging to Mr. Marshal was carried away and large damage done to the place. The boulevard is one mass of trees that have been torn up by the wind, and the streets arc filled with pieces of housetops and other timbers of every description. The rain fell in torr.-nts all day.

The cajiitol was unharmed by the winds, as was also the business portion of the town on Main and l-'erd streets The southern portion of the city, styled ••I'atlishtowii." sntVcred great loss and damage of property. In this section of the ei'v several persons were seriously hurt and bruised by (lying timbers from falling houses and fences. The drug store of 11. A. Day was completely demolished and its contents ruined, the loss amounting to S.\000. Several of the small grocery stores and stall shops in this vicinity were destroyed. The brickyard of (ialig, Keddy Co. was badly damaged, but the loss is covered by insurance, which is the only storm policy held by those damaged.

The extent of the damage, throughout the city by this storm cannot accurately be estimated at this time, but it can be said that this is the greatest loss this town has ever sustained, whether from a tornado or a (ire. The storm did not make a straight sweep through the city, but would strike the ground und bound forward like a bouncing ball it would pass over several houses at a time and descending a^-ain tear its way for hundreds of feet at a time. The trunks of large oak trees were snapped off like pipestems. So sudden was the storin that a number of bread carts, express and other velriclcs were caught and wrecked in the streets: and it departed as suddenly as it came. A number of narrow escapes is reported.

RIOT AT INDIANAPOLIS. Itloudy riffht llrtween (icnnjln Cadet* and Negro Hoodlums.

Indianapolis, July 7.—A dangerous riot occurred on Kentucky avenue at 1 o'clock p. m. between a party of the Southern cadets, of Macon, Ca., and severnl negro toughs, and for a time it seemed as if the most serious consequences would result. The southern boys were passing down the thoroughfare when they were guyed by a negro bootblack. The boys took it good nnturedly for a time, but finally got angry aiid advanced 011 the negro, who was surrounded by a number of older ones who were encouraging the insults. The bootblack threw his box at one of the whites, striking him a stinging blow upon the head. The crowd then advanced upon the negroes, who broke and ran into a negro saloon near by, the whites following. As the latter 'entered they were confronted bv some twenty or more negroes and a perfect volley of spittoons, brickbats and stones were hurled at them. Nothing daunted, the whites grabbed what missiles they could and returned the volley, knocking a half dozen negroes down. Freoinan, of the whites, and Martin Lynch, a burly negro, closed in upon each other with billiard cues. Edwards came to Freemun's assistance and Lynch was soon stretched upon the floor, bleeding from dozen ugly wounds in the head. Another negro rushed upon Freeman with a razor and gave him a gasli in the left cheek, extending from the mouth to the back of the jaw. Williams, another of the Macon boys, was beaten terribly over the head with a billiard cue, and Iiradford and Iionner, who were trying to defend him, were both badly hurt by spittoons which struck them in the head, making ugly wounds, from which the blood flowed freely. When the fight was at its hottest the police entered and arrested the combatunts, both white and colored, and restored order. The southerners were taken to the office of the police surgeon, where their wounds were dressed. Williams and Freeman are both seriously hurt, but it is not believed that either are fatally injured.

KILLED BY INDIANS.

t'lcrcc Kncoimter with Redskins In tlie MoJhvc Desert. Bakrrsfiki.ii, Cal., July 7.—July 8 Constables John Powers and Sam Gunn, with Mr. McCoy, a liveryman of Lemoore, went out in the Mojave desert, near Coyote Holes, to arrest some Indians charged with firing a haystack. A fight ensued and Powers and McCoy were killed, also two Indians and two horses. CJann's mustache was shot off, but he managed to get Powers' horse, liis own having been killed, and rode to the south fork of the lvean river for help. Twelve men went back with him. The two Indians who were killed were found buried in the sand. The body of Powers was found with the throat cut and the tlesh was torn from McCoy's face in threads. A posse has gone in pursuit. It numbers thirty men. The Indians arc well mounted and armed and it is feared more blood will be shed. There were six Indians in the first party but there arc perhaps 100 more in the vicinity and several hundred between there and Inyo county. ""baseball.

MET HIS DOOM.

Murderer Slocum Exocuted by Eloctricity at Sing Sing.

JiO DETAILS OF THE DREADFUL SCENE.

He IK Ulvon the Shock Wltlrh Ended Hit Career at 4:4% A. M.—The Deatlt Chair and Mode of Execution Described.

SI.OCI PAVS THK PKNAI.TV. SiNCi Sim X. Y., July 7.—At 4:45' a. m. Slocum, one of the condemned men, was taken from his cell to the room where the execution was to be held, seated in the chair, and in the presence of the witnesses the current was turned on. In a second life was apparently oxtinet. Smiler, Wood and Jugigo. the other condemned men, will be sent to their doom one by one, the Jap last.

TUB AfPAllATI S OF DEATH.

The chair in which condemned men suffer the death penalty is a substantial as well as comfortable-looking piece of woodworkers' mechanism, and, with the connections with the dynamo, was designed by Capt Hilbert, tlie prison machinist, under whose supervision it was built It is constructed in a very workmanlike manner and differs very materially from the chair used in the execution at Auburn prison.

The chair is located in a room just south of that occupied by the cells of the condemned men, and is entered by a door opening from the passage which runs in front of their cells. The room is 50 feet long by 28 feet wide, and is perfectly bare except for the mus-lin-curtained windows through which light enters in abundance. The addition in which the death chamber is located is the last one built and is a one-storv frame structure. As tho visitor enters the room of execution he faces the chair, which is placed at the opposite end. This article of furniture, which is an object of terror, is very solid. The scat is broad, and the back, on which a heavy headrest is constructed, has a slight curve. Above the rest and fastened to the back by a long strip is a figure "4," which is intended to rest on the head of the occupant. It is through the wire in this that the current passes. Besides this there are a number of straps used to secure the prisoner in position after lie has taken his seat in tlie chair. The eondemed man is strapped to the chair. Against the base of his spinal column presses the cold, clammy webbing o) the lower electrode, and against tlie top of his forehead is pressed the inoistr cned sponge of the upper electrode.

The chair faces the east, and directly behind it is a low cabinet for the use of the man who turns on the current, and who is thus out of sight of everyone. Its sides, however, do not reach the ceiling, so the operator can have plenty of ventilation. Directly back of tlie cabinet nnd against which the cabinet stands is a dooi loading directly to the dynamo room. On the side of the cabinet is a sliding door, which on being opened revealc the switchboard, by which signals are given to the operator, who stands in the cabinet and turns on the fatal current. This apartment—of ordinary partition height—extends into the room about ft feet. Upon the south side is the switchboard of the electrical apparatus. Before this the scientist stands. Its cherry surface is polished. In the upper right hand corner is the ampere meter. This measures the current in amperes—that is. its quantity. A long, upright cherry box in the lower right hand corner contains. the resistance coil, which equalizes tho current as it comes from the dynamo. The two boxes at the base contain utensils. The long upright tube, which holds a gauge, measures the volts oi power of the electricity. It is this that is necessary to determine its fatal properties. The squan' apparatus in the center regulates the wires to the dynamos, while the twenty globes in two rows above the apparatus are incandescent lights. Their brilliancy denotes the voltage of the current to the trained eye of the scientist. The dynamo which generates electricity at the other end of the prison yard is directed by signals. When tho scientist is satisfied with the voltage and amperes he pulls down the handle just under the globes. This shuts off the lights and throws so much more strength into the current Then he is ready to send the death-dealing current into the control of the executioner.

It Is the man in the closet who turns the switch. He stands ready. At a knock from the scientist, which is indicated as he throws down the switch handle, giving him all the current, he knows that his duty must then be done. Ilis apparatus is simple. Heavy insulated wires come through from the switchboard. The negative current passes through the wire which extends downward through the floor and thence through coils

tat

the bottom

o'f the chuir to the negative electrode up through tho body of tho condemned. The current to tho positive electrode is carried along an upper wire. It passes through a curved tubing which Is suspended above tho head of the victim. The executioner stands grasping the handle. The signal from the scientist shows that all is ready. The hundle falls. The switch is dealing death.

CHIMES OK TJIK MEN.

James J. Slocum lived ut 7 Cherry street and bad been a baseball player anil common laborer. Ho had lone been a m-lfe-bentcr. but commonly pounded bis wife with bU fists and kicked her. On tbe night of Docember 31, ltttiO, he went home and took an ax which hod been used by his wife to broak up boards fur fuel, and beat the woman's broins out with It. He was convicted In March, 1880, before Jutfgo Martin, nnd was originally sentenced to die during tho week beginning May 6 of that year.

Harris A, Smiler was at one time Salvatlnc army captain. He was a printer by trade, and bad developed a rare faculty for getting married. At the time the murder was committed there were three women living to whom ho bad been married, and none of them had been divorced.

OUR NAVY AT BOSTON.

The Newark, Atluntu, Huston nnd Yorktown at MiiSftiichtiKCtti liny. Boston'. July 7.—Boston is devoting all its attention this week to the squadron of evolution. The squadron includes the 'Newark, which serves as flagship, the Atlanta, Boston and Yorktown. The Chicago, which it was intended should also accompany the licet, had to be left at Hampton Roads. The object of the squadron's visit is to Instruct the naval militia in the practice of marine artillery and to break thein in to the routine of a modern man of war. The ships will remain here until the middle of the month, during which time a programme of exercises and instruction, which has already been prepared, will be carefully carried out

This programme includes target practice with the great guns, exercises witl armed boats, effecting landings on the soil of a supposed enemy and a night attack on the squadron by torpedoes.

Anew channel has been formed a mile east of th one forme! last week, and the main current of the stream is now flowing through it. Some valuable Missouri farms have been submerged, and a family mimed Koch had a narrow et cape from drowning in going to tlu hills in a Uathoat. Tho river is falling, but the land in tlie vicinity of "The Point" seems to be in such a condition that it is impossible for the current to remain long in one pluce.

Shot Ills Successful Itlval.

Colu.m kith, Intl., July 7.—Friday night George Rothroek, a young farmer recently, married, was shot three times at his own residence, 8 miles east of Pope, by William Bullard, a tough character. Bullard drove to Rothrock's residence at midnight, and on a protense that some friend was sick, asked him to accompany him to Hope. Rothroek disbelieved his story and refused to go. Bullard turned to leave and Rothroek retired. Bullard then returned to a window near which Rothroek slept and opened fire. Two balls took effect, one in the left arm and the other in the neck. Springing from his bed Rothroek ran out and was met at the door by Bullard, who again opened lire. This time the ball entered Rothrock's face below the right eye und ranged downward and cannot be found. This shot knocked young Rothroek down, and, thinking he had finished his work, Bullard lied. Neighbors were summoned unaOeorge Iluffinaster was sent for a physician. Bullard was in a buggy, und Iluffmnster taking a short cut across a Held overtook him, and not knowing who he was, asked to ride to town. On the way he made known his mission, when Bullard drew his revolver and began to lire. Iluffinaster grabbed his hand, and by so doing saved his life, but received a bullet through his left arm. In tho scnftlc Bullard received from his own pistol a ball through his left lung, but the wound is not fatal. The wounds of Rothroek aro thought to be fatal, as two balls aro in his neck and cannot be found. While the. wound of

Iluffinaster is very painful, it is not dangerous. Bullard is at the residenco of his parents closely guarded by officers. lie was a rejected lover of young Rothrock's wife,.
