SCORES OF LIVES LOST.

WILKESBARRE, PA.. VISITED BY A TERRIBLE CYCLONE. Probably a Hundred People Killed In the Storm—Many Neighboring Towns Suffer —scenes in tbe Stricken City—Damage to Property Great. [WiLkesbarre (Pa.) dispatch.] At 5 o’clock this afternoon the most terrible cyclone that was ever experienced in this locality struck this city. It* came up "the river. At what point it originated is oot known. The suddenness of its coming was one of its awful features. The heavens were as black as night and the wind blew with frightful velocity. Whole rows of trees were blown down. Following this hundreds of houses were unroofed, partially blown over, or completely demolished. Worse than all, a number of lives were lost. How many were killed Is not known at this time. Large districts In several sections of the city are in absolute ruin, and the women smd children are In the streets crying and wringing their hands in dismay. The damage will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Passenger trains and locomotives at the depot were blown over, and every wire in the city—electric light, telephone and telegraph—is down. The devastation is to be compared to nothing in the memory of the oddest inhabitant. Fortunately, no fires have as yet taken place, for the streets are Impassable with trees and fallen buildings, and the engines could not be drawn through them. The total number of deaths so far as ascertained is twelve. Four men are known to have been killed in the Hazard Wire-ftope Works. A house on Scott street, occupied by miners wiho had Just retured from work, fell in and three of the Inmates were killed. The huge stack of the Kytle planing mill fell on a man and two horses and all were killed. A little colored girl was killed by a falling building on South Main street. Two men suffered death by the falling of a portion of Stegmaier’s brewery and a third incurred the same fate through the almost complete demolition of S. L. Brown’s handsome brick business block on East Market street. There were, undoubtedly, fifteen or sixteen others killed. It Is impossible at this time to give names or particulars. Many poor people have suffered heavy losses and It will he months before all the damage can be repaired. One hundred tinroofers have been telegraphed for, and building mechanics of all kinds can find employment here for weeks to come, as it Is already khown that rully 200 buildings have been blown down or otherwise damaged. Many of the structures wore of large size and of great value. Approximate losses only can be given, as follows: Hazard wire-rope works, $25,000. S. L. Brown’s residence, $20,000. St. Mary’s Catholic Church, $15,000. Malinckrodt Convent, $3,000. Murry shaft, SIO,OOO. Hollenback shaft, $5,000. White Haven Ice Company, SB,OOO. Lehigh Valley Depot, $2,004. Pennsylvania Railroad Company’s roundhouse, $3,000. Ahlbom’s pork-packing house, $5,•000. Paine’s oil house, $2,000. Dickson Manufacturing Company, SB,OOO. In addition to these hundreds of citizens have suffered losses running tbam SSOO to 95,000. The Murray fan-house was blow* down and the fan stopped. There were < twenty•even men In the mine, but it Is hoped they can be got out safely. Reports come from Sugar Notch, a mining ♦own three miles from here, that the destruction of property is terrible and that fifteen persons were killed. At Parsons and Mill Creek; four miles from here, coal-breakers in all, directions have been more or less damaged, and the number of killed will reach tenl Telegraph wires are down in all directions and communication all cut off. .. The names of some of those killed., as far as known, are: Evi Martin, a baker; buried beneath a falling smokestack; his two horses were also killed. John F. Rltz, a laborer in the spool-mill at the Hazard works; taken from the debris hcrrlbly mangled. Burrell Bendenmeyer, salesman for ELartJke&Co.. grocers; Instantly killed by the falling of Brown’s business block. Samuel Rouse, machinist at Hazard works; killed by falling timbers. Peter Rlttenmeyer, killed in Fred Jacob’s Hotel, which was wrecked; when removed s»is skull whs found to be crushed. Joseph Kern, a milkman, blown from his wagon; be was found 200 yards away lying on the Lehigh Valley road with his head crushed. Adam Frantzol, of the firm of Jones & Frantzol, struck by fiying timbers, died at A o’clock this evening. Mamie Thompson, aged 0 years, Mown ogaifist a house and instantly killed. George Hamilton, John Kleinkauff and a Hungarian entered a barn for shelter. The ■ large double doors were blown in, killing Hamilton Instantly and fatally Injuring the other two. Among the injured are: Berlin Vandermark, struck- by timbers. His bead was crushed and his ribs and lege were broken. He cannot recover. Max Cramer, fatally injured by a falling wall. Jesse Houser, legs broken and Internally Injured by a falling roof. Miss Mary Henwood, seriously hurt. While descending from a carriage she was blown fifty feet away. Albert Smith, a paper-hanger, ribs broken and head injured. Jacob Falk, a butcher, blown from a wagon, arm dislocated. M. Brinkman, Injured internally and arm broken. Jacob Vewgold, a butcher, ribs broken end head bruised. Ambrose Constine, a liquor dealer, ribs broken and injured internally. A dispatch from New Milford, Susquehanna county, says a cyclone struck that region at precisely the same moment that Wilkesbarre was struck. Farmer Cole’s house was demolished and Mrs. Cole was killed. His family was Imprisoned in the wreck, but rescued by a crew of trainmen who had witnessed the disaster. They are all badly hurt. New Milford is sixty miles north of Wilkesbarre. Another dispatch says that just before the cyclone reached here it struck Harveyvllle, killing two women. Horrible was the scene in the Hazard Wire-Rope Works. Dead and dying lay on the floor and their heartrending cries and groans filled the air in the room. The cyclone struck the rtear of the large brick building, about 200-men being employed in the works. The roof and side walls were crushed in and lay in ruins all about. The bricks and ponderous machinery wero scattered all over. When the storm was imminent the men rushed for the door, but many of them were caught !n the ruins. As •oon as the calm succeeded, the awful cyclone men rushed Into the ruins and carried the injured into the portion of tbe building which was undamaged and laid them upon the floor. Rude beds of matting were made for the victims on the floor and physicians were summoned. , St. Mary’s-Catholic Church, South Washington street, is a total wreck. The massive tower In the rear of the chuffch was blown down clear to the base and fell with tre-. mendous force against the residence of " Michael Cuohagen, smashing it. The Inmates all huddled together in the hall and •scaped Injury. Tbe solid tin'roof on St. Mary’s Convent, South Washington street, was torn off and blown Into the street, and a portion of the brick wall was taken away. Mayor Sutton has Issued a proclamation calling on the members of the Ninth Regiment to assemble at the armory to aid In tbe police supervision of tbe city. U»

also requested all idle workingmen to report to him for labor in clearing away tb« debris, the city to pay for the same. The estimated loss Is $500,000, although it may reach a higher figure. The suffering la great. A terrible rain-storm set In shortly after the cyclone and drenched the exposed property, which lies In Its track. Superintendent Gaskins of the Hazard Wire-Works reported that they would be in running order again In about one week. Aa far as known to him only one man was killed at the works and one fatally Injured. Several more were slightly hurt by falling timbers. The cyclone passed through the little town of Summerville, near New Milford, on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, shortly after 5 o’clock this evening, blowing down houses and tearing up trees In Its path. The town was practically annihilated. Engineer William Fisher in giving an account of his experience while passing through the cyclone said the engine was lifted from the track, the cab was blown eff, and all the windows in the cars were crushed in by the terrible force of the wind. Two of the train hands were seriously Injured. At Harveysvllle several lives were lost. The town was wrecked. The Methodist Episcopal Church and the adjoining parsonage were blown down. Harvey’s large store was totally destroyed. Nearly all of the buildings In the village and the buildings on farms were unroofed and are uninhabitable. The crops In' the fields were ruined. Elijah Fahrenninger, a well-to-do farmer, was killed, and several others were injured. It Is feared the total loss of life In the devastated district will exceed one hundred.

PERISHED IN A WRECK.

Fifteen Feople Killed and Many Mere Injured. [Boston special.] The noon express from Wood’s Holl over the Old Colony Railroad Was wrecked at •Quincy to-day and fifteen persons were killed and between thirty and forty persons injured. The disaster took place at what is known as the President's Bridge, just this side of the Quincy station and near the eld John Quincy Adams estate. The train was speeding along at the rate of forty-five miles an hour when it rounded tbe -curve at that point. It consisted of a single -engine, a baggage-car, a drawing-room car, -amok-ec, and five ordinary coaches. The train was heavily loaded, however, with businessmen returning from their summer houses along the south shore, excursionists, and a ■number of Grand Amoy veterans who had spent the Sunday at Martha’s Vineyard. • Whether the speed-of the train-caused it to jump the curve, whether It was .a spreading rail or a misplaced switch that did tbe work is now not known, but. mo sooner diid the engine reached the cut than it made a wild leap against the stone abutment. Somanraav was the space that lit -could not speed on, but such was its Horae that it turned completely about. The -cars behind were thrown from the rails, but the baggage, smoker, and Pullman continued their course over the sleepers. The fourth car, however, swung away from the others .and crashed Into the engine. This car was crowded with seventy-live passengers, and not more than twenty escaped alive and uninjured. The engine boiler was broken, and the scalding steam was forced into the ruined car, causing unutterable suffering among the struggling mass of men and women. The other cars were thrown to their sides and badly bunched. The police and fire alarms wore rung, and a crowd rushed to the rescue., Surgeons were summomed irom Boston, ant Superintendent Kendrick hurried with a wrecking train -to the scene. > The work of rescue was a painful one. The sloping lawn about the residence of Charles A. Howland was converted into a temporary hospital and the grass was red with the blood of the dead and injured. Just below lay the tangled wreck, with scores of men struggling desperately to release the dead or dying persons that remained crushed beneath the mass of iron and wood. The sound of the busy ax.es, tbe groans of ipon and women, and tbe anxious search of friends made an impression that will never be forgotten. By dint .of hard chopping the rescuing party sucoeeded In removing the body of Fireman Ryan. This was-complete-ly torn in twain. A man and a women were then taken out, the latter being dead. The man spoke a few unintelligible words on his removal, but died in a few moments. The fourth -ear was tbe scene of tbe most terrible suffering. Men and women there were wedged into every conceivable shape—some with blackened faces and wrenched necks, others with great pieces of tbe seats transfixing them so that the rescuers were obliged to cut away great masses of woodwork before they could be extricated. In several instances dead people were found sitting bolt upright as if dazed by the shock. In this posture sat a young woman whose graceful arm was still twined about a boy, but her eyes were glassy in death and her face bore a look of concentrated terror. The shapely head of the boy was charred to blackness and the face twisted into a most repulsive expression. There was a woman, apparently 45 years old, whose shoes had been torn from her feet and her hair from her head. Her face wore an expression of awe and her lips were parted as if in prayer. Next, was a heavy, middle-aged man, apparently a prosperous merchant, whose neck had been broken by a backward wrench so that the Adam’s apple protruded through the skin. Near him lay an elderly military man, calm and dignified in appearance, as though lying on his own eouch. No bruises of any sort were visible, while from hU pockets projected two visiting cards hearing the names of “Miss Butler” and “Miss Cutler.” A woman dressed In dark satin and wearing a handsome diamond ring was next removed. So the work was continued. There were some wonderfully narrow escapes. Prot W. L. Hooper, of Tufts College, who was sitting in the fourth car, thus relates his experience: “l was sitting in the fourth car on the right-hand side and next the aisle. I think I had been dozing a little. The first thing I" noticed out of the way was that the car began to sway, then to jolt up and down pretty badly, and then all of a sudden it seemed as If the seats were rising up and bobbing about in a crazy dance. Then we came to a stop Just as the craty dance stopped. The steam from the locomotive, whieh was right under our car began to escape and fill the car. I did not hear much shrieking, but there was a sort of a general groan to be heard amid the crashing and shiveAng of timbers and glass. As soon as I began to realize what had happened ! tried to break the window and get out, but the blind was partially pulled down so I couldn’t. However, I smashed the widow of the seat in front of me with my foot and crawled out.” There are various theories as to the cause of the accident. For several feet back along the track there is a sort of furrow which seems to indicate that something about the engine broke and plowed into the soil for some distance, finally derailing it* The most impression, however, seems to be that the engine was thrown from the track by spreading rails, and it Is stated that a gang of workmen had been repairing that portion of the track and may have left some 6f the rails Insufficiently spiked. There was no switch near by on that track, so that the disaster could not have been caused by a misplaced switch, as was first rumored.

KNIGHTS WILL FIGHT.

BIQ TIE-UP ON THE VANDERBILT ROADS. Th« Knights of Labor, Ordered by tbe Confederation, Will Make It Lively for Officials of All the Vanderbilt Lines. [New York dispatch.], “Strike,” said Chieftain Powderly, General Master Workman of 300,000 Knights of Labor. “Strike,” says Chieftain Sargent and the three other members of the Supreme Council of the federation of 52,000 railway employes. So say the leaders of the Knights and the brotherhoods in chorus. The Executive Board of the Knights of Labor voted to take the strike from the hands of D. A. No. 246, and prosecute it vigorously in every possible direction to the hitter end! It Is a life and death struggle with them. It means everything. Either they must.wln and gain the rights of arbitration Which they claim or forevef lose their power among the laboring men, who now believe them potent. Chief Sargent wired to the other eight members of the Supreme Council to convene in Terre Haute Saturday morning. There and then, he said, the recommendations of Messrs. Howkrd, Wilkinson, Sweeney and himself woOW he received and accepted and the members of the federation, 52,000 strong, be ordered do help in tying up the entire Vanderbilt system—that Is, the New York Central, West Shore, Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Nickel-Plate, Chicago and Northwestern and the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis. So far as mortal means could go to aver, this disaster, Mr. Sargent said, they had been tried in this case, and tried In vain. The railroad company would have it so. On their beads he the blame and the responsibility. They had forced a fight against organized labor, and now organized labor must protect Itself, and the sympathies, of workingmen everywhere would go with it. “We will not break a law,” said Mr. Wright, one of the most level-headed of the General Executive Committee of the Knights of. Labor, “but we will do everything under the sun that we can do legitimately to win this Just fight—a fight which has been forced upon us.” “The company will resist to the end,” said Third Vice President Webb. “We propose to maintain our rights, to run our 6wn business our own way, and not be dictated to by outside parties,” : Nut until all avenues of reconciliation had been closed was the standard of war-raised. The labor leaders had gone very slow, Chief Sargent in particular. Save for the switchmen’s trouble in and about Buffalo, and their grievances against Superintendent Burrows, whom they declare to be totally unfit, by age and Irascibility for his position, their cause for striking was almost a sympathetic one. They had but one reason for going, and that was the supposition that the Central had deliberately entered Into a war of extermination of trades unions. The leaders do not more than half believe this now, and there is reason to believe that if Mr. Webb had been more diplomatic he could have averted the strike. But he failed to lay on the molasses thick enough and the damage is done. ' New York was the stage to-day and Grand Chief Sargent the Richelieu. He pulled the strings which made the puppets dance. He was the last man to say yea, and when he said It the thing was done. The Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the Federation of Railway Employes kept at the St. Cloud Hotel with a great deal of fidelity, and did nothing to strengthen the bands of friendship between himself and the Central officials. It wAs'nearly 11 o’clock when Messrs. Powderly and Devlin betook themselves to the den of the enemy. They wero received with great apparent cordiality by Messrs. Toucoy and Voorhees and were closeted with them for an hour. Mr. Powderly went over the ground already covered in his. letter, stated what had been learned In the Investigations, and pleaded valiantly for Mr. Webb’s change of mind regarding arbitration. He was in’formed that Mr. Webb was as solid aa a rock, and that the company was prepared to back him up to the last notch. The Knightly employes who had been discharged were discharged for cause, and that was all there was to it. Messrs. Powderly and Devlin returned with this message to the waiting leaders, and for about half an hour the strike was considered a settled thing. Mr. Powderly described Mr. Webb as a very young and apparently inexperienced tuan who had no business to be dallying with the lever end of a big railroad system. This brought matters down to a pretty fine point and the fog bank of mystery surrounding the-leadero'grew dense. It was dangerous to approach them. Mr. Sargant was the exception and he talked for half an hour quit* as If he were tired of the muzzle which the Knights of Labor had striven to place upon his lips. “I don’t believe in all this mystry- and eecrecy,”hosaid;“wo are engaged in a legitimate public business, and I believe in letting the newspapers know what is going on. “ The situation has reached a very serious stage—a very serious stage, indeed. There Is going to be a great 'deal of trouble yet, and you can say that I said so. So far as the railroad company is concerned, their attitude is not different to-day from what it was yesterday. They are determined not to submit the grievances at issue between them .and the Knights, and nothing less than a fight and victory against them will to change their position. So far aa-I am concerned, I do not believe that the Central Road is engaged in an effort to wage a war of extermination against the labor organizations. It’s too late in the day for a great railroad to enter upon any such foolish course.” Mr. Sargent said distinctly that if the Knights oould show that the Central was waging war upon organized labor the firemen and allied organizations in the federation would not hesitate to join in a strike. “But rest assured,” said Mr. Sargent, “th« strike will not be ordered on the part of the Federation until the Supreme Council has passed upon it and the public been given ample opportunity to prepare for it. Then If it comes-to this it will be a whopper.” A reporter asked the leader of the Federation what strength the brotherhoods in the Federation could muster... He said: "Fiftytwo thousand men. There are 20.000 members in the Federation of the United Order of Railroad Employes, 18,000 in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. 8,000 members of the Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Association, and 8,000 of the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors. The number is not great compared to the 300,000 Knights of Labor, but you must remember that they are all railroad hands, many of them skilled workmen, while they are divided Into all branches of work.”

" 11 -' On the mend —the consumptive who’s not bereft of judgment and good sense. He’s taking Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. If taken in time and given a fair trial, it will effect a cure. Consumption is Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its myriad forms, and for all Liver, Blood and Lung diseases, the “ Discovery” is an unequalled remedy. It’s the only guaranteed one. If it doesn’t benefit or cure, you get your money back. You only pay for tho good you get. “Discovery’’ strengthens Weak Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affeotions. Don!, be fooled into taking something else, said to be “ just as good,” that the dealer may make a larger profit. There’s nothing at all like the “Discovery.” It contains no alcohol to inebriate; no syrup or sugar to derange digestion. As peculiar in its curative effects as in its composition. Equally good for adults or children.
