AN AWFUL IIAI.K.

Wki.i.inoiox, Kan., May US.—'This eitv had a visitation Friday night from funnel-shaped cloud which plowed its devastating track through the business part of tlie town, with immense destruction of property and heavy loss of life. A storm of wind preceded the cyclone about half an hour- A few minutes after II o'clock the cyclone struck the city, coming from the southwestThere were no premonitory sigus. Everybody was indoors, and the cloud passed with its destructive rush and awful roar unseen. Jefferson nvenue, the principal business street, is lined on both sides for blocks with ruius.

Thrown luto a

The people were thrown into sueli a state of excitement and the torrent of rain which succeeded the cyclone fell so mercilessly that no organized search for the dead and dying was attempted for some time, and the darkness almost baffled the efforts of the most earnest. How many may lie dead in the ruins of the Phillips house and beneath the ragged piles of broken brick and splintered timbers everywhere ubout there is now no means of estimating.

Some 1'rlghtful K*thnntfs.

As fast as the injured are found they are being conveyed to the grand army hall, which serves as a hospital, and their number is now increased to sixtythree. The number of the dead is nowreported as being fifty. All of the finest buildings are in ruins, and every newspaper oflice in the city is a wreck. It is now estimated that the number of buildings destroyed exceeds 1100 and the majority of them are business blocks.

Tho Victims.

The property loss cannot be less than $,"00,000. Those known to be dead are Leonard Adamson. Mrs. William Asher, Frank D. Campbell, Michael Fanning, laborer Waller Forsythe, Lieut. Wil liam French, of the Salvation Anny James E. liastie, Ida Jones, diningroom girl at the Phillips h*ouse McAdains, X. Silva, Sims, cadet, Salvation Army: Mrs. Susan Slasher, burned Kittie Strahn. unknown man, supposed to be commercial traveler

The injured whose names were learned arc: CSuy Colby, Edward Forsythe, Mattie Hodges, Carrie Mitchell, Mrs. Murphy, Charles Stone, Richard Weaver, James Lawrnnce, candidate for attorney general.

Among the missing are: l'rof. Mayer, Itert IJpson. Whlli1. the liall Wuh '.n Progress.

A b.ill was in progress at the Phillips hotel, and the guests were nearly all there when the storm broke. Seven bodies, all unidentified at 11 o'clock, had been taken from the ruins. At midnight another body was taken from the Phillips house so bad l.V crushed that it has not j-et been Identified. It is supposed to be that of a commercial traveler who was a guest ut the house. ,Jt is reported that there are three more persous buried in the ruins of Conrad's restaurant, and men are now at work there and at the ruins of the Phillips house, where the mangled body of Ida Jones, a dining-room girl, was found aud identified.

Groat Dovrtntatlon i-Viirrd.

It is impossible to obtain reports fr the surrounding country. The storm went in a northeasterly direction, and it is feared that it wrouglit addi tional^damage in its course. The devastation in the country is frightful. What damage was done by the storm before it struck Wellington cannot be learned, for the whirling wind carried down every telegraph wire leading out of the city but one.

Fir© AK1h til the Horror.

To add to the horror, fire broke out in the debris of Cole Robinson's block and Mrs. Susan Slasher was burned to jieath in that house. A solid block of fbriek buildings containing half a dozen stores and the Monitor ollice is in a heap of mortar. Michael Fanning, a laborer, was killed there.

Tho Storm'# Work*

The streets are littered with tin roofing, cloth awnings and broken timbers. The destruction is awful, and every ^ninute. adds to the horror of the situation. The Press, Voice, Standard and vMuil oflices are wrecked. The opera •liijiU6e and dozens of the best business ^Wildings are useless. Fine school jSilflings and churches are ruined. The rai&onc did not do much damage until *Tt,reached the center of the town. On "Jefferson avenue it destroyed the

Lutheran church but only unroofed the residences. Its mosi furious work was done within the compass of foursquares bounded by Jefferson avenue, Avenue J.', and Seventh and Ninth streets. Every .building in these two squares was demolished and wrecked. The residences in that locality are not numerous, otherwise the 5 loss of life would have been 1 much greater that it now appears to be. The Phillips house was well filled with guests. The Wellington' foundry was demolished and Mrs. William

Asher and her.sister, Kittle Strahn, who happened to be passing there ut the time, were buried in its ruins and killed. Their bodies have been recovered.

Scenes at the l'hllllpA llonne. The most appalling scene was that at the Phillips house, where a ball was in progress when the cyclone burst. Tho dancers were given little opportunity to escape, from the toppling structure. As the building began swaying in the force of tho terrific gale 'lie people in the crowded ball-room made a frantic rush for the doors. The stairways and halls were iinin diately tilled by the crazed men and women, who tore at each other

in their mad rush for the open air. With the crash of tlie walls about and over them there arose a groat wail of despair from the imprisoned and (loomeil multitude. As the timbers crushed down upon the slruggling merrymakers their l-.oar.se

cries were throttled in their throats by the weight of the mass of timbers above them. Then came the silence of death anil insensibility, only to be followed a moment later by the shrill blasts of the tempest sis it rushed on to other destructive work, and the agonized shrieks of the iji jured or dying who were p\un/"i down in the mass of debris. Those who escaped from the building began immediately the work of rescue. As fast as the bodies were taken out they were surrounded by a crowd of anxious people, who vainly tried to identify the mangled remains.

Two Solvation Army Solillura Kllli-il. A meeting of the Salvation Army was in progress in a hall near the Robinson block. The falling walis of this building crushed the ball and many of the soldiers were injured. It is known that two of them were killed and it is probable when the wreck has been cleared away it will be found that muny more perished. It was past the regular time for the army meeting to adjourn but not caring to go out while the storm raged the captain decided to prolong the meeting until the wind and rain had. subsided. One of tho members was engaged in prayer when the cyclone struck the Robinson block. There was no time for a panic, liefore any of the soldiers could rise from their knees the walls of the building gave way with a crash.

Only a Vucmit l.nt 1.1ft.

At the residence of 'Squire Smith the scene was simply terrible. From all that remains of the premises it would seem that the. storm devoted special fury to this spot. Rut little else than the lot remains and the point of the funnel scooped great holes in the sandy soil. There were seven people at this house and not one of them escaped terrible injuries. Their names may at any moment be added to the already extensive list of the dead.

TIU! Fato of the I-'orHytlii^. Walter Forsythe was taken from the ruins and has since died, lie and his brother Edward had intended spending the evening together when the debris buried both. The rescuers heard their cries and worked frantically to rescue them. It took thein but a short time to remove Walter from the pile of timbers 'neath which he was buried, but more than an hour's work was required to extricate Edward who begged the brave workers to shoot him and thus put him out of his misery. 1'romlnnit INtrsonn Injured.

The list of those more or less seriously injured is appalling, and includes many of the most prominent people in southern Kansas. Among these is James Lawrence, a candidate for the office of attorney.general, who is seriously if not fatally hurt. He was buried beneath the ruins and was rescued with the utmost difficulty and removed to a place of safety in an unconscious condition.

At the Temporary Hospital. The scene at the temporary hospital was ono such as is rarely witnessed except upon a battlefield. The lloor was saturated with. blood which gushed from the many wounds of the many persons who were taken there as soon as they could be ex tricated from the wrecked build ings. There was little effort at order. Everyone was too excited for that. The injured were carried in and placed in the first vacant place that could be found upon the floor. Then the rescuers hurried away to renew their efforts in behalf of those still in the ruins. All the physicians in town hastened to the spot, but there were not enough to attend to all the calls upon them.

The Stricken City.

Wellington is the county seot of Sumner county, Kan. It has a population of 10,000. Thrifty and enterprising, it is located in the center of a thickly poulated agricultural district, and it is the most prominent town in southern Ivnnsas. This is the hrst cyclone that has ever visited tho town.

ITS LATEST VICTIM.

Nick. May 28.—Another mysterious tragedy has come to light at Monte Carlo, notwithstanding the efforts of M. lilanc and his agents to bury out of sight the victims of the gambling cas'no. James Welbregg, said to be an American from NewYork, arrived in the early part of this month on a pleasure trip through Europe. lie had a large sum of money, probably over $20,000, with him. The games seemed to have for him an irresistible attraction, and he was continually talking ubout the great winnings of the Englishman, Ibill Wells, and other reputed successful gamblers. Welbregg imitated the Wells system and played heavy stakes. Luck was steadily against him and when he withdrew fromthc tables his whole capital had disappeared.

Took Ills Own t.lte.

On Tuesday Welbregg entered the casino and approached the tables as if about to play. He did not play*, however, but stood and watched others, as if the spectacle fascinated him. Then he turned away and walked into the reading-room of the oasino. Suddenly the report of a revolver was heard and there was a rush to the reading-room, before the visitlrs had an opportunity to see who the victim was the emplo3-esof tliegcusino swarmed about the suicide, and tho body was borne away.

Uurlcd In .Senret.

In the dead of Tuesday night, when visitors had nearly all retired and everything was quiet, the body of Mr. Welbregg was borne to the cemetery in which repose other victims of the gambling table at Monte Carlo. Mr. Welbregg had some acquaintances who were not to be put off in their resolution to know what became of him, and they succeeded in tracing out all the facts regarding his fate and ascertaining that the new grave in the cemetery covered his remains. The affair has caused great excitement among the foreigners, and especially the Americans and English at Monte Carlo, following as it does upon the recent suicide of Count De lilocisz.-wski, an esteemed member of the Poli-li colony in Paris, who is said to have lost S00,000 francs in the casino.

PEOPLE'S PARTY IN INDIANA.

it Discourage* Prohibition and DerhireM tor Free Silver. Ixiiianai'oi.is, Ind., May 2H.—The people's party state convention developed into a lively meeting this morning. It met at Masonic hall nt 10 o'clock with nearly 000 delegates present. and after being called to order by Chairmi.-. Templeton, of the state committee, elected S. W. Williams, of Knox county, permanent chairman. There was no contest and the committee on resolutions reported the platform. This document was a "dyed in the wool" St. Louis platform, but was reported by the majority of the committee without a prohibition plank. The minority reported a wholesale indorsement of prohibition. The vote in the committee stood 0 to 4 against the prohibition plank, and the discussion of this subject occupied the entire morning. When the question upon the minority report was put to a vote it was defeated by a vote of 100 to 140.

The financial plank in'the platform, among other things, demands the free and unlimited coinage of silver and condemns President Harrison for calling the international monetary con| ference and inviting other nations to assist in fixing a value of our silver, regarding it as an effort to demonetize the silver dollar by a national agreement.

The convention nominated a full state ticket as follows: Governor, Leroy Templeton, Ronton county lieutenant governor, Jesse L. llobson. Wnbnsli: auditor of state, LewisC. Kasten. Allen treasurer of state, Townsend Cope Jennings attorney general. 1). II. Fornandes, Madison state statistician, C. II. Rliss, Howard superintendent of public instruction, J. II. Allen. Vigo. C.

Nkw York, May 28.—Special advices to ltradstreet's from regions affected more seriously by floods "point to an aggregate loss in five states of S?:)2,000,000. which Includes damage to raihvav property, destruction of or damage to levees, to farm buildings, machinery, live stock and crops, us well as lo.-.. on other property. Louisiana and Ar kansas have lost less in this respt-ei than has been reported, and Illinois and Missouri probably more. Losses in Iowa and Kansas have been greatly exaggerated.

Litti.k Knr-n, Ark., May 28.—The story of Hood, suffering and destruction the valleys of the White and Arkunsas rivers has not been half told. Theie is not a thousund acres of drysoil left in Dosha couuty. The towns of llollendel, Chicot City, Red Fork and Pendleton have been wiped off the earth, and not living being is at any of thein. All have been rescued and are now on high ground, but actually starving, so difficult of access are they to the relief steamers.

All the big plantations for 40 miles in the Arkansas valley are utterly ruined. A Story of Death and Disaster.

The first batch of mail in six days from Renton county was received here Thursday. It relates the story of the most appalling disaster that ever oecurred in north Arkansas. The waterspout which visited the suburbs of Siloain Springs last Friday resulted in the loss of three lives and the destruetion of property worth 5100,000. About 0:30 o'clock in the evening the rain began to fall and by 10:80 o'clock all the low land in the town was submerged by water, which swept every thing in its course. At nico, an eastern suburb of Siloam Springs, nine buildings were washed away, and Mrs. Martin and her six children, as their dwelling went to pieces, hung to the limbs of trees until they were rescued. All the lower portion of the town was swept away. When the waterspout struck Dr. Swallow's house the members of the family, being very old, had retired for the night. It bore down all resistance. iiing the doctor and his wife and mother down the stream and drowning them. Dr., Swallow was a Frenchman and had retired from business, lie leaves a daughter and a son'in Kansas. His property consisted of several thousand dollars in notes, $500 in cash tind a beautiful residence, all.of which were swept away by the flood.

Shown by the Falling Water*. As tho river falls the terrible work of the flood is plainly seen here. Dozens of valuable farms are ruiued. the water washing Out ditches on some and on others leaving sand ranging from 2 to feet in depth. All fencing has been carried away. No estimate of the loss can as yet be made. It will run far up I Into the thousands. The work of relieving the sufferers continues, but reports of half-starved people are still being received. The river is still falling.

I SriiiNCiFiKi.li, 111., May 28. State Treasurer Wilson, designated by Gov. I Kifer to receive and distribute the conI tributions for the flood destitutes in I the state, estimates that there are between 12,000 .and 15.000 persons in pressing need. .. Ked Hlver Sitll'erers.

The water poured through the breaks with a roar that could be heard for miles. The loss by the three breaks will be not less than §500,000. Three million dollars will scarcely cover the loss to property and crops in the upper Red river valley by this year's floods.
