RED Hun. III., Nov. IS.—A cyclone, beaded due northeast, its wings fraught with death and ruin, came bounding over the earth from the Mississippi bluffs at :i S0 o'clock Thursday morning and for the distance of half a mile it plnngod its tortuous way along through Red Hud, leveling houses, barns, fences, shade trees ami shrubbery.

Only one person was killed, Willie Kopp, aged 10. though nearly a dozen have cuts and bruises wliicli may, in two or three eases, cost life.

Eighty-four houses are wrecked, household goods totally destroyed and business paralyzed. The damage will exceed SloO.OGO, the insurance agents' report on houses alone being SS5,000.

A Scene of Desolation.

Night's inky darkness, lighted up momentarily by flashes of lightning, added to the fear and madness which oppressed all minds during the terrible visitation. Daylight only made more terrible that which night had hidden. The streets presented a pitiable seene of ruin and utter desolation. On every hand rose the moans of the injured and the grief of their friends and relatives. The streets were blocked with the debris of the storm's wreck, and for some time it was impossible to get an accurate list of the sufferers.

Killed mid rutully Injured.

The only person killed outright was Willie Kopp, aged 10. Those fatally injured are: Mrs. Jacob Kopp, Mrs. Peter Kardell, Mrs. M. Tricsweiler. Among the others seriously injured are: Hernial) DVoeg, Mrs. Margaret ltavertnann, S. 1). Perry, Mrs. S. D. Perry, Archie Sutherland, Mrs. John Manderfeldt, Mrs. Louise Hair, Julius 11 aim, Julius Hciltnann, Mr. and Mrs. Allien Starr, Charles Starr, Peter Do/., Miss Emma Crowe. Besides those named inauy were badly bruised and suffered from exposure.

Out iu Storm.

For three hours the rain beat upon the unfortunates, who, confounded by the occurrence, knew not what to do nor where to go. Relief parties tendered aid and physicians attended' to the wounded. The. little fellow who was killed lay by the head of liis mother in the mud of the street, SO feet from where their new home had stood, and with their heads buried in the mud beneath a huge timber. Tile one was dead, the other fatally injured.

The large stone residence of Peter Kardell had been crushed into powder and Mr. and Mrs. ICardell and their daughter, Mrs. Louise Blair, were hurt very seriously, blood pouring from the old lady's mouth whenever she was moved. Mrs. M. Tricsweiler was so badly frightened that it is believed she will die. Mrs. Margaret Havermann was badly hurt by glass and falling brick. Mr. and Mrs. Joliu Manderfeldt were cut and bruised, as were also Mr. and Mrs. Aldon Starr. Miss Emma Crowe was crushed and cut and Julius llahn received serious bruises. Ho required tlie services of the doctors, and a Mr. Ileilmaun,, who was lifted on his feather bed out of the second story of an unroofed building and was deposited in the next lot, did not alight without severe cuts. S. D. Perry, of the'Red Bud Domocrat, lost all lie had in the world, his presses and everything being smashed. The brick of his house came down upon him and his wife in their bed and they crawled out of the debris all cut and crippled.

The night was Egyptian in its darkness, a warm rain had been falling for hours and people had allowed their fires to die, thus preventing the conflagrations which would otherwise have occurred. Those who hurried upon the destroyed district hastily seized lanterns and rushed out to aid any unfortunates who might require assistance.

Freak* or the Wind.

Some of the freaks of the storm were marvelous. One house was literally lifted from the ground and scarce a vestige of it left, while a neighboring residence seemed to have escaped with comparatively little injury. Stone bnildings offered no resistance to the strength of the cycldne's furyl This fact was fully attested by the fate which overtook the handsome aiid solid structure occupied as a residence by Peter Kardell. It was crushed to a shapeless mass as though it liad been a toy house, with scarcely one stone s'a'uling above the other over the foundation.

Tiiii Town Xerdtt Help.

Red Bud is situated iu the northwest u't of Randolph county, 37 miles from St. Louis, on the Mobile & Ohio railway, and "was one of the most improved cities in southern Illinois. It contains 1,500 people, has a number of stores, two mills of SOO-barrel capacity each, a bauk, four churches, three of which are wee-Iced, a pub'.ic school, now in ruins,

and was a popular pleasure resort. Its beauty is sadly marred by the storm and it will be long before it can regain its vigor. Help is ncedect, as a cold wave has added to the sufferings of those who were made homeless.

Three More Killed.

ST. LOUIS, NOV. 18.—Near New Palestint:, 111., the wind blew almost a hurricane, and the only fatalities ociurred at the home of Herman Oltcng, where a tree was blown across tiie residence, crushing it. Ottcug had a narrow escape. Mrs. (Itteng. and her two children were killed.

Track

of the Storm.

"ST. Louis, Nov. 18.—The conflict of the element incident to the exit of warm weather and tho advent of winter's chilly blast culminated Thursday in one of the most destructive and farreaching storms of the year. The initial battletield of the mighty opposing forces, it appears, was near the little city of Red liud, Randolph county, in the extreme southwest part of Illinois, about

18

miles from the Mississippi

river. Sweeping down from the north came a tremendous storm of snow, rain and sleet, which, encountering the warm air currents of "lygypt,"' developed three distinct cyclonic storm centers, diverging from a common center near Red Bud.

Taking a soul heasterlv course,one part of the storm passed on rapicUy through western Kentucky and Tennessee, leveling everything in its path at Red Bud and killing one an 1 injuring several people, and only when northern Alabama was reached had it lessened its force.

To the westward moved a second storm center, passing through central Missouri, theuce across northern Kansas, finally being lost in the mountains of Wyoming. But the curious feature of this remarkable atmospheric disturbance is the direction taken by the third arm—a northerly course through Iowa, veering to the west into Nebraska, leaving a hopeless tangle of wires in its wake, until it became next to an impossibility to reach any of the great cities west of St. Louis except by circuitous routes.

Not a wire remained from Milwaukee to St. Paul and Minneapolis and the northwest, these points being served with European and eastern domestic news over the Southern Pacific route to Denver, thence to Ogden, U. T., Helena, Mont., and via. the Northern Paeitic to Minneapolis and St. PauL

Between Nasliville and Memphis all wires are prostrated, dispatches being handled from Chicago to St. Louis, relaid from St. Louis through Texas to Now Orleans, thence north by way of Chattanooga back to Naslivillo and finally reaching Memphis over a system of "spliced" railroad wires.

Cyclone In St. ("lair and Wa«hln£ton. MASCOUTAH, 111., Nov. t8.—A cyclone

struck tho southern portions of St. Clair, Washington and Clinton counties at an early hour Thursday morning. Houses were blown down atFayetteville, New Memphis and Queen's Lake. The large lumber sheds at the latter place -were scattered in all directions. The cloud was black as night and appeared to xoll upon the earth. Whole orchards were destroyed, many of the trees being twisted oft' at the ground. There were numerous narrow escapes, but as yet no serious casualties have been reported. The course of the cyclone was from south west to northeast.

Town'Wiped Out by Wind. DURHAM, Ark., Nov: 18.—A village iu Washington, on White river, was totally destroyed by a cyclone at 3 o'clock Thursday morning. Every house in tlie town except ohe schoolhouse was demolished. No lives were lost, but the damage to property is great.

Coldest Weather or tlie Seuaon.

PcoitiA, 111., Nov. IS. Peoria was visited by a violent storm Thursday, commencing with a driving rain. At 5 o'clock snojv began to fall and the temperature lowered 20 degrees in four liours. The coldest weather of the season was experienced Thursday night. Telegrams froin the surrounding territory indicate that the storm is general in this portion, of tlie Atate.

Hailstones as Itig as Walnuts. SALEM, 111.. Nov. 15—A violent storm,

accompanied by hail and torrents of rain, prevailed through this section at an early hour Thursday morning. Hail in many instances as large as walnuts fell thick and fast and shattered many window panes in residences. The steeple of the Baptist church was blown down, trees, haystacks and fences laid, houses unroofed and much other damage done.

Snon. Helps Winter UheatKANSAS CITV, Mo„ Nor. 18.—The

heavy snowstorm of Thursday throughout Missouri and portions of Kansas, southeastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa will greatly benefit winter wheat. Reports received at the various railroad offices are that the fall of snow was as good as a heavy rainfall and lia»i saved the winter wheat.

Heavy biiowfttll.

DAVENronr, la., Nov. IS —Six inches of snow fell between 8 o'clock Thursday motning and 6 o'clock in the evening,*1. driven by a strong north wind. The storm would do credit to mid wintor.

VutoiNiA, 111., Nov. 18.—This section was visited Thursday evening by an old-time snowstorm, being the first snowstorm of the season. About 2 inches fell.

BBNSA I IONAI. liF.MARKS.

ST. LOIJIS, NOV. 1,S.—The society of the Army of the Tennessee had just been called to order and, at the suggestion of one of the grizzled veterans who not unnaturally regard the son of their ex-commander as the ward of the society. Rev. Thomas E. Sherman was invited to address the meeting. The clergyman of- the church of Rome, attired in the conventional garb of his order, spoke for a few minutes with great feeling of the affection which the children of (Jen. Sherman entertained for the survivors of liis father's old command, and then turned his remarks to the monument which the family is providing for the totnb of the dead general, bnt which is delayed by the refusal of the striking granite cutters at Westerly, Conn., to allow it to be removed Urthe west. In a voice sad, but passionately indignant, he said: "Just about tho linie the work was tlninht'd a strike occurred in the granite quarries in the east and the finished monument stands there now, and there is no power in ibf» country. In state or nation, to move that mouuineui irorn the hands of the union."

Appealed to Old Soldiers.

A feeling- of suppressed indignation swept over the audience, but the feeling- of sympathy was quickly perceptible to tie son, and, with his arm extended over the ussemblag-e and his whole frame quivering with emotion, he continued: "Tlidy will not consent to let us have it"moved and 1 know of only one way to that is, to organize one of liis old regiments and go there and take It by force." (Prolonged applause.) ''1 do wish this Horicty to know that it is not any neglect of his sous or his family. We owe it to you, who belong to the sutnc military family, to say thai, we havo not been negligent for a day and that we feel sad and mortified that in our country which you have made so froe we cannot even move our father's tombstone from tho spot where those workmen hold it inclosed."

Shortly nft«r he conclutlod, a meetineof the "Sherman monumentcommittee' wast'alled. What tmnspired at that meeting- the events of the future must tell, for its members are as mute as the sentinels of a reconnoitering army.

ENDED IN DEATH.

Terrible Disaster at an Arkansas Jollification.

CAUSED BY A POWDER EXPLOSION.

Th« Building iu Which the Meeting IN Held Demolished— Four I'^rioui i.oae Their Lives.AIM! Kitteen Are Injur«MI.

JOT TUNXED TO GKIKF.

FAYETTKVII.MS, Ark., Nov. 18.-The democrats of Mountain View held a presidential election celebration in the district schoolhouse Wednesday night, and a terrible disaster ended the proceeding®- prematurely. Anvil tiring1 and th® discharge of fireworks were features of the jollification, and as a consequence a large quantity of explosives had been provided. A portion of these had been stored in the schoolhouse.

The Powder Explodes.

During the speech-making and while the building was packed with men, women and children, two kegs of powder exploded. The results were •frightful. The schoolhou&e was totally wrecked and most of its ofluupants buried in the ruins. Thos?! wh3 could extricate themselves set about at ouce to rescue the others. Shrieks and moans came from the mass of wrecked timbers, and it was evident that the calamity was a terrible one. .The debris took fire in several places, and it required hard work to prevent the cremation of the persons who were imprisoned. The flames were subdued, however, and only one person suffered by the fire.

The Viet luii.

A son and daughter of Silas Graham %vere taken out dead, and Herry Sherod, one of the most prominent residents of Washington county, was so badly injured that, he has since died. Another mau whose name has not been learned was also killed. Fifteen other persons were injured, some fatally, but their names have not been learned here. Kerry Sherod suffered horrible agonies, mentally as well" as physically, before he was gotten out of the ruins. He was pinned down by timbers and was burned beyond recognition. He lived several^ hours after being rescued.

THEY ARE PLEASED.

Prohll»itlon!»U\RatUfled with the Showing Made At the Polls hy Their Tarty. CHICAGO, Nov. 18. —"Leaders of the

prohibition party are very much encouraged over the results of the election jti.s* passed,*1 said C. L. Stevens, editor of the .Lever, the official organ of that party. He continued: "We think the national vote will run lo about 326.000, against iJfiO.OOO for 1888. In the western 6t»te«, such as Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, whore the people's party movement was very strong., we lost souie from our vote of four years ago. On the other hand, in most of the states east of the Mississippi river and in Iowa and California we made substantial gains. Nearly every state shows some 'ncroase over 18fW. 1 believe that the official returns will show the increase in Illinois to be the greatest of any stale. Indiana made good pains and also New York, including New York city, and most of the New England states."

Mr. Stevens gives the following table as a conservative estimate of the prohibition Vote by states:

Alabama Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut 7. Delaware Florida..... Georgta .*•••• Idaho ..... Illinois Indiana ...... ....... Iowa Kansas Kentucky... Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts....

THE TARIFF.

Commission to Be Appointed by the President After Ills Inauguration. WASHI.VOTOX. Nov. 18. —It is well un­

derstood here that Hie conferences in New York between Clevelaud and Messrs. Carlisle. Coriuaii and Urioc, Don M. Dickinson, Charles S. FairchiUI and Chairman Harrity have resulted in a decision that, an extra session of the Fifty-third congress would be inadvisable. To hold one at that time would alarm the business interests of the country and work injury to party prospects. Everyone seems to believe {hat the best idea is to have a bill passed by congress at the December session giving Cleveland power to appoint a commission to inquire into the tariff question.' The commission would sit during the summer and fall, and report to congress in December, lSUIL If a bill was-formulated and passed it would not go into operation before October, 1B94, or nearly two years from the present timt.
