Effects of tlie Wiud Storm in Wayne and Fayette Counties. Bpecial to tlie Indianapolis Tonmsfl Richmond, May 15.—The storm last night proves to have been far more severe than it was reported in last night's dispatches, and even assumed the form of a tornado in some localities. The damage to fruit and growing crops by the hail cannot be estimated, but is considerable,' y*et small in comparison j to the loss on buildings and timber. At 7:30 ! a jumbling noise, accompanied by rain and I lightning, alarmed tlie residents of the southern part of this county, and almost immediately a funnel-shaped cloud at a high rate of speed, passed over them, tearing up forest trees and laying buildings level with the ground. The first building damaged, so far as heard from, was the dwelling of John Plankerhorn, west of the river in Union county. It was twisted from its foundations and torn to pieces. A flash of lightning, following close upon the first disaster, descended upon his barn and set fire to the hay in the mow, and five head of horses, half paralyzed by the lightning, died in the flames. Roofs, fences, telegraph poles and timber were swept clean as the cyclone traveled up the Elkhorn. Boone Lamb’s fatuous old bluestone dwelling lost everything but its walls, and Dan Holler’s frame farm-house was dashed to pieoes. .Mrs. Holler and another member of tlie family were struck by the flying timbers and hurt. The Stephenson schoolhouse, a fine, brick structure, resisted the first shock, but only stood a few seconds. The walls and roof were broken, and the wooden parts carried away. Near by was George Stephenson’s beautiful country place, which was damaged to the extent of $5,000. The barns and out-buildings were either carried away or demolished, and the roof, gahles and chimneys on the house blown off. The family took refuge in the cellar, and came out unhurt after tlie storm subsided. Telegraph poles were broken off square, and the maple groves and forest groves resemble an old Cane-brake, the trees being piled up on top of one another thirty feet deep. A dozen or fifteen other barns and two or three houses were unroofed. Farm work will be impeded b\’ the damage to fences and outbuildings in that section. The loss in the city, aside from fruit and shade trees, will not exceed S3,<X)O, onehalf of which is on the new sewer and the other on broken glass in tlie greenhouses and skylights. Several instances are reported where horses, wagons a*nd drivers were picked upund dashed down again. The Village of Waterloo Almost Enterely • Wrecked by a Cyclone.

Two large bridges, one iron and the other wooden, near that place, were lifted from their abutments and left in a twisted mass in the river bottom.

No Whiskey! Brown’s Iron Bitters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not composed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time absolutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxicating beverages. Rev. G.W. Rtce, editor o! the American Christian Review, says of Brown’s Iron Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. >6.1881. Cents :—The foolish wasting of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indulgence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity; and if applied, will 6ave hundreds who resort to saloons far temporary recuperation. Brown’s Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief. “ “"WROUGHT IRON PIPE FITTINGS.
