John Croft called out for all to run to the cellar, and all succeeded in getting there save Fred. Fester, George Croft, Mrs. Williams and i;abe. To better understand what follows, the house will be briefly described: It was a story and a half frame. On the north side was a porch with west end open. The cellar stood under the dining-room at the southwest corner, the door to it going out of the dining-room. Other rooms were west and north of this. Fred. Fester, who had been hunting and stopped to escape the storm, nnd George Croft were on the porch when the cyclone came. It is not known whether they had started to the cellar, but it is presumed not. Mrs. Williams had started and was in the dining-room; Mrs. Croft had just started down and was ou the top steps. The others were in the cellar. Not one of those who escaped can describe what followed. There was an awful crash and all was over. The neighbors, as soon as the storm passed, looked out and saw that John Croft’s nonse, which occupied a commanding position, was gone, and they began to gather in from every direction to learn what had happened. The alarm spread, and soon the whole neighborhood was In. In the confusion and horror no one can tell who was found first. Os those not in the cellar only Mrs. Croft escaped with her life, and it is still uncertain whether she will get well. Fred. Fester and George Croft, it would reem, were picked up bodily from the porch and carried nearly a quarter of a mile to the northeast and dropped in a wheat field. No pieces of timber were very near them. Fester was not mangled, and seemingly the fall must have killed him. He struck on his back and shoulders, and a

hole can still be seen in the field made by his body when he fell. He was laying on his back and stretched out when found. His gun was found a short distance irom him. George Croft was carried about the same distance. He was not much worse bruised than Fester. Mrs. Williams was carried about as far as the young men, but in a different direction. She wa9 directly east of the house, in a meadow. Her bodv wus frightfully mashed and broken, there being not a bene unbroken. She was discovered by Isaiah Burger. Her little babe, which she had in her arms at the time the cyclone struck the house, was found lodged in the top of a fallen •apple tree near where the house stood. Its little head was crushed and its body badly bruised and broken. The babe was three or four months old. Os the house, not a splinter is left on the spot it once occupied. It is swept clean, and even a part of the cellar wall is torn down. Fragments of the house and furniture are scattered over the country east for miles. In the large fields near, pieces of studding, joists, fdlls, weather-boarding, bits of broken dishes, fragments of furniture, crocks, kettles and all the many things that go to make up a house and furnish it are found. A bed-tick was found five miles away and a pillow known to belong to this family was found at Lancaster, seven miles off. A number of apple trees were near the house. These are pulled out by the roots, not broken off, and the bark is peeled off as though they had been dragged on the ground a great distance, but these trees were not carried away. Many of them were dropped down near where they stood. In the garden the vegetables are riddled, (probably by hail. Os two long fences on each side of a lane, running up to the house from the east, not one rail lays on top of another, and nearly all were carried away. Some of them arc standing upright in the fields, driven in like stakes by the force of the wind. A number of chickens had their beads neatly wrung off by the whirlwind. Otherwise their bodies were not mangled. The pump was taken out of the well and carried no one knows where. An Excelsior reaper was carried about 300 feet and dropped, picked up again and carried about twenty feet further. It is very uiuch broken up. A wheel on the sewing machine was broken in two and the halves found one-half mile apart. A wagon was torn to pieces. About one-third of a tire, more titan one inch wide and nearly, if not quite, a quarter of an inch thick, was picked up nearly a quarter of a mile away. It was broken squarely In two and twisted out of all resemblance to what it once was. * * * An amusing incident occurred in Lancaster, ora little ways out. It issomething similar to that in an lowa cyclone, where the house was carried from over the heads of a family anil left them sitting at the table eating. William Coates was at homo with his wife and three or four children. The house was removed down to the floor by the wind. Standing by the bed when it commenced giving way, Coates ordered his family to lay down on the floor. They did so, and he seized the feather bed, bedclothes and all, threw them over his devoted family and got on top of the pile to hold it down. * All went well, until the wife’s curiosity, like that of Lot’s wife, and likewise of nearly all other women, got the better of her. and she must needs Iryk out to see how things were progressing, She received her pay. A flying piece of weatheyhptrding clipped her on the head. She was only slightly hurt, but was the only one of the family that was injured in the slightest. Clotting Sessions of the Western Yearly Conference of Friends, special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloominudale, May 31. —Josiah Morris, superintendent of Bible schools, made his annual report It is difficult to secure well qualified, willing and energetic teachers. We need more consecrated workers. Only nine schools out of seventy-nine in the Yearly Meeting were discontinued during the winter. The secret of success lies in thorough preparation. The teacher who reads and prays daily over his lesson becomes so enthused with the beauty of the subject that he is delighted with an opportunity for telling it to others. The following question was referred to a committee: “How can we reach that portion pf our membership who do not attend

Bible schools nor seem interested in them themselves?” El wood C. {Siler conducted the gospel temperance meeting last night. An excellent temperance exercise given by twenty-three bright-faced children was conducted by Mary J. Outland. The recitations were selections from the Bible aud various authors both of prose and poetry. Ella J. Davis read a very spicy paper ou Bible-sctiool graduates. William S. Wooton. chairman of the committee on library and literature, made his report. A higher education was strongly urged as one of the undeniable means by which the church is to live and prosper.

Boston, May 31. —The match race, single sculls, between Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, and John A. Kennedy, of Portland, for $2,500 a side, took place this afternoon at Point of Pines, the distance being three miles, with a turn. A smart rain fell just previous to the race, yet when the men were called out a smoother course has rarely been seen on lake or river. The start was effected at 6:45. Kennedy soon took a slight lead, which he kept for the first mile; Hanlan, however, keeping Kennedy well up to his work, and tnere was a pretty race for that distance. There were fears of a foul, and indications that both men were going out of the course. Hanlan was apparently the first to discover this, und thereby gained several lengths. By this time Hanlan had headed Kennedy, and turned the stake boat four or five lengths in advance. After the first mile Hanlan evidently imagined he had the race in liis own hands, and after turning the stake-boat reduced liis stroke to the minimum and rowed at ease, while Kennedy kept nearly the same stroke throughout. The official time of Hanlan was 19.04, Kennedy 19 52; showing that Hanlan won by about twenty lengths. About 2,500 people witnessed the race. Hn.se Ball. East Saginaw, May 31.—Saginaw 3, Bav City 2.

WILLIAM L. YANCEY. Recalling; an Occasion When lie Was Hissed in Cincinnati. Louisville Courier-Journal. “So Wm, L Yancey is to have a monument at lust,” said a gentleman to a reporter “Well, it’s about time,” he continued: “Yancey was a remarkable man.” “What do you mean,” asked the reporter, “by your remark? Was he more remarkable than hundreds of other men the country has produced?” “In some respects, in many, be stood alone. No man in the South was more extreme In his pro-slavery views; in fact, he wus the antipode of Wendell Phillips. In 1848. I think it was; anyhow it wus in the Democratic convention which nominated Lewis Cush for the presidency, Yancey offered a resolution declaring that the doctrine of non-interference with the rig 1 its of slavery by any portion of the people is the true republican doctrine. This proposition created a breeze In the convention, and after a long and earnest debate was voted down by an overwhelming majority. Yancey fought the Abolitionists and gradual emancipationists

at every turn; he fought Clay 8 Missouri compromise. and as earl}' as 1858 proj>osed the organization of committees of safety all over the cotton States, declaring: 'We can thus fire the Southern heart, instruct the Southern mind, give courage to each other, and at the proper moment, by one organized, concentrated action, we can precipitate the cotton States into revolution.' He was the boldest leader of the extreme party south of Mason and Dixon’s line.” “Were you personally acquainted with Yancey?” “No, not personally, though I knew of hi,rn well by reputation; and I shall never forget the last speech ! heard him make. It was in Cincinnati, in Pike’B Opera-house, in 1860. just before the election of Lincoln. The great house was crowded from pit to ceiling to hear the eloquent Southerner. He had talked as only Yancey could talk for two hours. Reaching liis peroration he said, in substance: ‘We of the South ask you of the North to let us alone; then we will live together as citizens and friends. We do not ask you to be the owners of slaves, and you ought not to insist that we shall give up that for which wo paid your forefathers our money. If you continue your war on our rights, we will resist with arms; and if the worst comes to the worst, we will march an army into your States and teach you what the destruction of property really means.’ “The audience, for fifteen minutes, had sat spell-bound by the magic of the speaker’s words; the fall of a pin could have been heard ten feet off so still was that immense throng. When Yancey had finished the last sentence there was a general hiss from all parts of the house. In tiie coolest manner imaginable he walked to the footlights of the stage, folded his arms across liis breast and faced his dissenters. For two minutes the marks of disapproval continued, and for as long a time the Southern lion stood eyeing the people. He was the victor, for suddenly the hiß-sesat the sentiment changed to cheers for the speaker’s daring, fcjoon all was quiet and everybody was anxious to hear the return shot, Yancey, apparently without moving a muscle, looking more like a statue than an animated being, began his rejoinder in a tone hardly shove that of ordinary conversation. He said: ‘Nearly 100 years ago, when young freedom dared not rise its head in the Virginia House of Burgesses, wlien the immortal Patrick Henry demanded liberty or death, there was a hiss, and it came from the forefathers of those who hnve hissed here tonight.’ The audience appreciated the point, and the house fairly shook with the cheers that followed. I always recall that scene when the name of Yancey is mentioned in my hearing.” MR. CRAWFORD’S NEW NOVEL. Dr. Claudius Not a Disappointment to the Readers of Mr. Isaacs. Now York World. Few recent novels have created such a sensation as Mr. Crawford’s new story, “Dr. Claudius,” which will be published this morning, will be sure to create in literary circles. The readers of “Mr. Isaacs” will be eager to determine whether it was the strangeness of the scenes or the power of the novel which saheld attention. In his new novel Mr. Crawford shifts the scene from the mysticism of an Oriental country to the practical Western oid town of Heidelberg, and his hero is now Dr. Claudius, a worthy decendant of the old Vikings of the North. He is colossal in statue and most royal-hearted, a privat-dooent at tbe university, and by no means a wealthy man. One day a letter from New York tells him that his mother’s brother in America is dead, and that he is the heir to several millions. But our philosopher determines iie will not desert his studies for money. He does desert them, however, the very next day, all for a beatifnl face, a pair of dark eyes and a thrilling voice, these being a part of the attractions of the “Countess Margaret,” the widow of a Russian nobleman. Dr. Claudius and the Countess Margaret take a pleasure trip across the Atlantic to New York iu an English Duke’s yacht. One night on dock Claudius declares his love to tlie Countess and she leaves him, and at the next meeting they agree to let the matter drop and be friends. While the party are staying in New York the Countess’s brother-in-law made his appearance, and told her that he was accused of being a Nihilist, and all his estates had been confiscated. As they were subject to her jointure, she would lose all her property. When this became known. Dr. Claudius immediately determined to go to St. Petersburg and lay the matter before the Czar, and he was supplied with letters to influential people in St. Petersburg. But his ostensible reason for going to Europe was to get papers from his university to prove that he was Dr. Claudius, and not an impostor, as the executor of his uncle’s will had accused him of being. He had refused to give the lawyer the certificate of baptism that would have removed all doubts, but he showed it to the Duke, together with some other papers, which caused tnat gentlemad to exclaim:

“My dear Claudius, I shall all my life remember that you have honored me with your confidence. I accepted it as a token of friendship, but lam now able to look on it as a very great distinction.” And the reader is left to imagine that Claudius is heir to the Scandanavian throne at least The day before Claudius is to sail the lovers come to an understanding down on the sands at Newport, where the ocean witnesses their vows of fidelity, and when his mission has been successfully done he comes back to her and in-these words still leaves the mystery of his birth unexplained: “And now I have told you. I say let us go to my father’s house and make it ours. Let me welcome my dear lady where her match was never welcomed before.” This bare outline of the story does not really give an idea of its cleverness. There are dainty discussions of love, of friendship, of woman’s work and kindred subjects between the Countess and Dr. Claudius, and effective bits of description of places and people. All the details are attended to in an artistic way. Though there is no evident attempt at analysis of character, there are no superfluous touches used and every stroke tells. The grouping, too, is effectively done. “Dr. Claudius” is not a disappointment to those who expected Mr. Crawford to follow “Mr. Isaacs” with nothing but good work, and it will be read eagerly by the thousands of readers whom he can command at his will, at least until he becomes more prolific than interesting, A writer in the Farm and Fireside says: As the time of year has come for the “honest granger” and his hired help to drink tepid water while planting corn or in the harvest field, I will tell him how to keep a jug of water comparatively cool for half a day at a time. Take a gallon jug and cover it with three or four thicknesses of woolen cloth. It can be made to fit and sewed on close. Set the jug in the shade, keep the cloth wet, and it will not get very warm. Low stumps and other obstructions that cannot readily be seen when the grain or grass is ready to cut, should be marked by means of stakes. It may be the means of preventing a serious accident, or several dollars’ worth of repairs, to say nothing of the loss of valuable time. The 9uouer this mutter is attended to the batter.

PLAIN TRUTHS The blood is the foundation ol life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. These simple facts arc well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore tiie blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause headache, and are otherwise injurious. Brown’s Iron Bitters will thoroughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthening it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause headache or constipation, and is positively not injurious. Saved his Child. ij N. Eutaw St, Baltimore, Md Feb. 12, 1880. Genu:—Upon the recommendation of a friend I tried Brown’s Ikon Bitters as a tonic and restorative for my daughter, whom 1 was thoroughly convinced was Wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, I was loth to believe diat anything could arrest tiie progress of the disease, but, to *ny great surprise, before my daughter had taken one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bittkrs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to for met health. _ A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said “Tonics were required;” and when informed that tiie elder sister was taking Brown’s Iron Bitters, responded “that is • good tonic, take it.” Adoram Pkelps. Brown’s Iron Bitters effectually cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Weakness, and renders tiie greatest relief and benefit to persons suffering from such wasting diseases as Consumption, Kidney Complaints, etc. WROUGHT IRON pii 3 e: #ggg\ FITTINGS. 1 | Sellin.tr agent* for National Tube Work* Cos. iy - -j' Globe Valve*, Stop Cock*, pggsgf V >1 I'liyine Trimmlnirs, PIPE 188 V -N TONGS, CUTTERS, VISES, Vr^r’ 1 TAPS, Stock* and Du**, sfdja VHSPI Wrenches, Steam Trap*, ISS PSP Pumps.
