APPALLING CALAMITY.

X&lsu City, Missouri, Visited by a Furious Tornai3. SEVERAL PERSONS INSTANTLY KILLED. School-House Bloxa Down mi Score3 of CM1dren Buried in the Debris. The Court-Home Demolished and the Deputy Sheriff Killed Other Bandings Wrecked-List of the Killed nod Wounded. Kansas City, liny 11. About 10:30 this morning ominous storm clouds began gathering over the city. They first appeared in the northeast, and, surging westward acrosa the city, turned suddenly about in their courae, and, descending rapidly, broke upon the city in terrific bursts of wind and rain that swept all lighter objects before them. The darkness was almost like night, and people fled to the nearest shelter and awaited With blanched faces the fury ot the tempest. The clouds seemed to graze the roofs o! the highest buildings and poured out their torrents in apparently solid masses for a time. The storm struck the city in full force about 11 :20, and raged for half an Lour. The streets were running rirers of water, carrying boxes and signs and other similar freight blown from the buildings or swept tip by the flood. A number of vehicles were overturned, and in numerous instances drivers abandoned their horses to their fate and sought refuge in stores and houses. Some hail accompanied the storm, but the fall was not great; otherwise the loss to property would have been enormous from water streaming in at broken windows. As it was windows in quite a large number of huildings were blown in and goods and f ami tuie were water-soaked. All this, however, l ved entirely insignificant when th? full extent of the disaster wrought by the storm became known. The Lathrop school building occupied an important site on Broadway, to which an east wing has been added. The building was surmounted by a tower, which for some time has been considered unsafe. It has been twice condemned, once within a few weeks, but no actioa has been taken in the matter. This morning the building was crowded with children, many of whom were nearly frantic with fear over the appalling darkness and the stillness which preceded the tempest. The wind swept madly across Broadway from the west, and seemed to concentrate its force in descent upon the tower, which yielded with a crash, and carrying down the heavy bell, plunged through the intervening floors to the basement. The main building is a mass of ruins within shattered walls, which still stand. The wing is comparatively uninjured, and the scholars in there were unhurt. In the main building, however, the effect was awful The falling floors precipitated the terror-stricken children to the basement, where masses of brick and beams crushed them to the ground and buried them from yiew. Persons near, hear'nj the crash, made their way as best they could against the pelting storm to the scene. The gale quickly subsided, and the work of rescue was undertaken by eager hands. Owing to prevailing excitement, the iirst work was net very effective, but the fire department and police soon arrived and an organized search was commenced. The dead and wounded were taken out as quickly as possible, and carried to the Natatorium adjoining, which was turned into a hospital. Here the parents and friends of the little ones soon gathered, each searching for his or her own, and uttering heart rending cries when they recognized in the mangled and bleeding forms those whom they loved. Among the first taken out several were dead and one or two mangled almost beyond recognition, their clothing torn, and the bodies covered with dust and mortar, the deathly palor of the skin showing in painful contrast against grim and blood stained. One little girl half buried in the debris, over whom rescuers were busied, begged them to leave her and help a boy beside her, because, she said, he was only five yean old. The scenes in the Natatorium, as the little ones were brought in and laid upon improvised cots, the dead placed together upon one side, wer3 pitiful beyond expression. A dozen dead were taken out during the day, and the . bodies sent to the houses of sorrowing families, and several of the children belonged .to prominent families in the city. At 11 Uest Third street stood a three-story brick building in the middle of the block, the third floor of which was used as an overall factory, conducted by Hoar Brothers. The first and second floors were occupied by the Graham Paper Company. In the factory Were about twenty-five employe, chiefly irls. When the storm broke out they started for the cellar. The building fell with a crash, being razed entirely to the earth, and most of the affrighted girls were caught in the ruins. Four have been taken out dead. A number of others wre wounded, and some are still missing. A force of laborers i3 busy to-night by i:'ckerins lantern lights upturning confused masses of bricks and timbers. The County Court-house standi at .Second nd Main streets, on the hill, exposed to -winds from the north and west. The building was erected nearly twenty yean ago for JiOtel purposes, but when completed was

pui chased by the county for 2y),000 and converted into a Court-house. The building has always been considered unsatisfactory, and the roof has frequently suffered injury from high winds. The storm struck the northwest corner to-day, blowing in the roof and a major portion of the walls of the third and fourth stories. The south wall at the east end was blown into the street, and Deputy Sheriff lougherty was caught and killed. A 1 others succeeded in getting out of the building alive. The jail is located in the basement of the building, and that portion was the scene of much excitement during the storm. Judge Stover had been holding court on the third floor, and had adjourned just before the storm descended. A portion of the roof in falling struck the chair the Judge had just vacated. Across the street on the northwest corner of Second and Main stmts stood a two-story brick building, erected in lSta) by the Santa Fe Stags Company, one of the oldest buildings in the city, from which the stages formerlywere started across the plains in stage coaching days. The building has of late years been occupied by the United States Engineers. Adjoining that, on the west, was a threestory brick coffee and spice mill, owned by Smith A Moffatt. This building was demolished, falling over upon the adjoining one and both were completely wrecked. Frank Smith, the senior partner of the firm, was taken bleeding from the ruins, and died in a short time. Mr. Moffat was badly hurt, and three employes were taken out The debris is being removed to-night, in search for any who may yet be buried beneath. The second span from the north end of the bridge across the Missouri, opposite the city, was blown into the river, the piers being left, apparently uninjured. A great number of telegraph wires were carried down with ihe broken span. Workmen are busy to-night raising the wires from the wreck, and It is hoped communication in that direction will be restored by tomorrow morning. The bridge is owned by the Hannibal and St. Joe Company, and is used by that road, the Wabash, the Itock Island and Kansas City, and St. Joe and Council Bluffs. The bridge authorities say they expect to repair the damage in ten 'days. Meanwhile the railroads will make temporary arrangements, for transporting passengers and freight. The Wabasti will send its trains over the Missouri Facific Line via Sedalia and Moberly. Following is a list of the killed and wounded, as far as has been ascertained at 10 o'clock to-night : Killed at school-housed: Josie Masjn, aged 12, lives on corner of Eighth and Wyandotte; I'.essie Inscoe, 0 years, 1,025 Central; Nellie Kllis, 11 years, 807 Central; Julia Harney, 12 years, 904 Central; Ruth Jamison, 10 years.

A Portion of the Town Completely DestroyedLives I,OHt Incident. Special to the Sentinel. Knk.htstowx, Ind., May 11. A disastrous cyclone struck Wilkinson, a station on the 1., B. and W. Railroad, nine miles north of this city, about 7 o'clock Wednesday evening, demolishing the southwest part of the town and killing two iersons, besides seriously wounding twelve others. Ten houses were destroyed, six of them being literally swept from the face of the earth. Considerable stock was killed and great swaths were cut through the timber, causing the loss of niany thousands of dollars. The total losses can not now be estimated. As an illustration of the force of the storm a heavy oak slab, twenty inches square and thirty feet long, was hurled one-half mije and driven six feet into the ground. The following is a list of those who were killed or wounded. V. White, aged thirty-six years, killed, right leg broken in two places, right arm broken and Lead mashed to a pulp. His wife was injured in her back and spine; thought to be fatal. His daughter, aged nine years, bad her right arm broken. John Smith, his wife and daughter, were badly bruised and lacerated, but will recover. His litt'e boy aged lour years, was killed. When the storm arose, Mr. Smith took his boy in his arms and went out of the house, where they were caught in the wind, separated, and carried about 150 yards. When found the little fellow's head and face were mangled beyond recognition, and life was extinct Eli Cross, his wife, their three children, a Mr. Schaffer and several ethers were badly, but not; dangerously injured. A Tornado at Colfax. BpecUl to the Sentinel. Colfax, Ind., May 11. A cyclone struck this- place about :15 this evening, completely demolishing the residences of W. D. ( lark, Sr., Isaac Dukes, James Leslie and Jasrr Hill, and badly wrecking those of J. E. Milburn and G. W. Allison and a house belonging to J. L. Reckard, cccupied by John Thompson. Quite a number of barns and other buildings were blown away, but no person, seriously Injured.

JUDGE HORD INSANE.

The Sii Affliction Which His Bofdlei Indiana's Attorney General. Assiduous Application Results iu Disease and IleitnUnt Becomes Necessary Full History or the Unfortunate Circumstances of the Case. The announcement is made with regret this morning that Hon. Francis T. I lord, Attorney General Of the State, has been declared insane by a lunacy commission and transferred to tne State Asylum for treatment. The steps looking to his confinement were taken with the knowledge and consent of his family and friends, but only when his mania had developed a homicidal tendency and it was feared that his liberty might endanger the life of another. Those who have known Judge Hord in his business and social relations will be surprised to learn that sich a step was necessary, and indeed the announcement will be received in ail quarters of the State with amazement. On all questions affecting his business. Judge Hord's mind was apparenly as clear as ever and during the past few weeks he has made some very elaborate argu ments before the Supreme Court, there being nothing to indicate that his mind had los au j thing of that penetrating acumen which was one of his distinguishing characteristic as a law) er. But for more than a year past his family and immediate friends have recognized the fact that he was not altogether responsible, and recently he has been growing worse. His constant application to study and the inordinate use of tobacco wrought upon his naturally nervous temperament and had much to da with bringing about his present condition. The circumstances are deplorable indeed, for the mind which is now beclouded was one of the finest in the State and its possessor in every respect a cultured, honorable and estimable gentleman. The strangeness of conduct which has recently become so marked was first noticed last summer, but his friends believed the sufferer would be completely restored by rest and the application of mild remedies, and he finally consented to gotoasaniarium at Cincinnati, but he remained there ut a short time, the restraint proving irkome, and, for this reason, improvement beug retarded. It was then decided that he uould go abroad, and he left fo? Europe to e absent one year. Instead of protracting is stay, however, he returned after three nonths' absence and again entered noon at assiduous study which had characterized is labors before his brief rest. He was tueh benefited by the trip abroad, and had e been willing to ' take more recreation ight have been permanently restored. This e refused to do, and the peculiar hallucidtion with which he was afflicted returned - itb stronger force as he applied himself to is duties. While his duties have been (tended to as usual, he has shown arked restlessness, and this was increased the evening hour when rest and relaxion would have afforded relief. On some ocasions at night he has been known to go oout the city, frequently in disguise, armed ith a revolver and threatening to kill omebody. This made it the imperative ii ty of his family to see that he was placed there he would do no harm, and they be--eve that with proper rest and treatment is mental vigor will aoon be restored. The atlidavit upon which was based the unacy proceedings was filed bv Dr. Lyndon V. Ccmstock, the dentist. The document states in effect that the aftiant has reaion to relieve that Judge Hord is insane; that he i nervous and agitated, and has frequently threatened the life of the aftiant, having assaulted him on two occasions, on the last pursuing him with a revolver; that the . public safety demanded that he be placed under restraint and thus prevented from doing the affiant bodily harm. The document further states that Judge Hord is fifty-one years of age, having been born ic Maysvilie, Ky., has been married twentyseven years and has five children. A formal finding was made by the Justices composing the commission, and the papers served upon Judge Hord at hisoflice. He gave no evidence of surprise, but read the papers carefully and for awhile appeared to be studying their contents. He then asked if he would be permitted to see his brother, O. B. Ilord, and Uon receiving an affirmative answer, was accompanied to the ofliee of the latter, where the two brothers had a few minutes' conversation. Judge Hord rightly divined that his brother was cognizant of the proceedings, and apC eared very much excited as he asked why e had permitted such a thing. Oscar Hord was visibly affected, and it was some time before he could reply that, under the circumstances, he believed he had acted best, and counselled his brother to submit with patience to a restraint which he hoped would be but temporary. "Oscar, I would rather have been shot dead than to have been subjected to this treatment." said the Attorney General excitedly. "And I, Frank, would rather have lost my right arm than for such a necessity to exist,'' was the reply. He then stated that his friends had resorted to this mode, believing it was the best under all the circumstances; that by rest from study the Attorney General would be relieved from his present condition, and he hoped fully restored to his wonted vigor of mind. Naturally, both ot the gentlemen were very much distressed, and though tbe meeting was of short duration its painful nature can barely be appreciated by the public. Before leaving the office the Attorney General declared be would bring habeas corpus proceedings for his release, but his brother calmly advised him to do nothing hastily, assuring him that everything necessary to his comfort would be provided, and that he could expect to regain his lost energy of mind and body by rest and patient submission to his surroundings. Mr. Hord was then taken in a hack to the Insane Hospital, where be called for all the papers In the case and studied them careialiy. During the daj he was very much excited, . but in conversation with Superintendent Fletcher, he was advised to be content and assured that he must remain at the hospital until permanently cured, an event whiel he thought was not necessarily far distaak The distress of the family on account of the l5caliar affliction which has overtaken the husband and father will be deeply sympathized with by their tany friends in the city, and indeM throughout the Slate. . : Francis T. Hord, the victim of the peculiar hallucination which leads to confinement in the Hospital for the Insane, has been a resident of Indiana for many years having located at Columbus in the practice of law, when Suite a young man. He has always been a evotee to his profession, and has taken great pride in probing to the bottom every question of law in which he was any way interested. He is a brilliant speaker, a logical reasoner, and possesses many of the traits of the true orator. Until his candidacy for the ofliee of Attorney General he rarely took much interest in State politics, though he was always ready to take the stump when the campaign was opened. His recoxnized ability naturally led his friends to desire his promotion, and his nomination in 1882, and again in 1881, for the office of Attorney General, was easily secured. He has made one of the most industrious, painstaking and careful officials that the State has ever had, and questions submitted to him in his official capacity have been answered with a promptness which evidenced the energy of the man, and with an ability which demonstrated his powers of research. Should his illness be protracted and it become necessary .to declare the office vacant, there is little doubt but that his son, Wdliaoi

T. Hord, will be appointed his successor. He has proved himseif, like his father, both able and industrious, and has managed in person many of the important cases which have been before the Supreme Court during his father's term. It is to be hoped, however, thf.t Tudpe Hord will soon be restored to health and that the necessity of appointing a successor in his office may not exist.

Harrison, the superlj Mayor of Chicago in these times of bloodshed and agitation, was born in Fayette County, Kentucky, February 2-, His earliest ancestors are traceable to. Richard A. Harrison, Cromwell's Lieutenant General, who led Charles I. to the block. The name was prominent in Virginia daring the Colonial period, and that of his great grandfather, Carler II. Harrison and his brother Benjamin Harrison, the signer of the Declaration of the Independence, and father of President Win. Henry Harrison. The family early inter-married with the lUndolphs and Carters two large Virginia families; through the former Thomas Jefferson and John Randolph were near kin. Robert Carter Harrison, the grandfather of the subject, moved to Kentucky in 1812 His father died eight months after Carter's birth. At fifteen he was sent to school to Dr. Lewis Marshall, brother of the Chief Justice, and father of the celebrated Kentucky orator, Thorn aa I Marshall. He was with nim two years, and tben went to Yale College and graduated in 1M.". After graduating he returned home and studied law but did not practice it, gtig to his paternal farm, six miles from Lexington. Having a fair competence, he went to Kurope iii 1X51, returning in 1853. To complete his law studies, he entered the Transylvania Law School, at Lexington, and finished the course in 1855. In the same year he went to Chicago on his wedding tour, and, forseeing its future possibilities, decided to settle there, and invested all he was worth. He began the practice of law, but becoming inbued with the spirit of real estate (speculation then pervading the city J, he gave a good deal of attention to it, and finally relinquished law, his real estate business having assumed such proportions as to force him to this step. In 1871 he was brought out by friends as a candidate for County Commissioner and elected. In 1H72 he was nominated for Congress on the Democratic ticket, but was de featcd. In 1874 he was again placed in the field and elected b7 a majority of eight vote?. The spring and summe1 of 1874 he spent traveling with his family in Germany, Austria, the Tvrol and Switzerland. He left bis family and returned home, and in the summer of 1875 he rejoined them, traveling in Northern Europe, and ending at Paris. His family returned to Germany and he to Chicago. In 1S7; he was suddenly called back, and reached Germany to lind that his wife hal died. During his absence he was nominated and re-elected to Congress. In 1878 he declined a renomination. and on his return home in March, 187!, his name was suggested for the Mayoralty. The June month be was elected to that position. In US I he n as again put up lor Mavor and was reflected. His election the third time to his present rllk eship will be remembered as one of the nio.ii exciting events in the history of Chicago's municipal elections. Daring the la'e Senatoii ii contest at Springfield, 111., Mr. lNiriPon espired to succeed Joha A. I. pan in th Unicd S'at3 Senate, but, as ot.e of be "da-k br-rses" in that memorable Mini tr,lonv-r1 cattle, his popularity was not sufficient to harmonize the bitier factions of his party. SUICIDES. A Chicago I'xpresMiiian Hang Himself Tiretl of Life. CmiAMi, May 14. Early this morning an expressman named Bies, fifty years old, adjusted a rope and hanged himself from a rafter in the barn in the rear of his home at No. 733 Milwaukee avenue. His wife found him in this situation, and her screams brought a crowd of neighbors to the scene, but no one interfered or attempted to cut the rope, owing to the frantic efforts made by tbe suicide to release himself by throwing Lis legs and arms apart. Crowds from'the street came in to view the appalling sight, but none ventured to attempt a rescue. Finally, after a lapse of ten or fifteen minutes, a policeman appeared and cut the man down. He was then cold in death. Di'Li'TH, Minn., May 14. While in a fit of despondency caused by continued ill health, Smith Debbidge, a brilliant young attorney, shot himself at 7 o'clock this morning, producing instant death.

Mif Foljioju's Wcddthc Gown. Philadelphia Press. The forthcoming social event of concentrated interest is the wedding of President Cleveland. I am able to give, on the word of Agnes Folsom, the bride's cousin, who is an opera singer in this city, a description of the wedding dress, which in the estimation of feminine readers will be of more consequence than aughi else connected with the subject 'Before Frances went abroad,'' says Miss Agnes, "she visited me in New Yorlr, and at her request I gave her the address of an expert dressmaker in Paris one who had made some costumes for several American actresses and singers. She didn't wish to'go to Worth or Pingat or any other of the more renowned designers. Well, in a late letter she informed me that she had gone to the man I recommended, that he bad taken the commission to provide the trousseau, and that the bridal robe was tearly done. :- Of course the stuff is white satin, and it is exceptionally heavy and fine not as lustrous as the average, and quite pliable. Decollete? No. indeed. Modest brides nowadays don't expose their necks or arms. The make of it is like this," and Miss Folscme drew a i ketch of the important garment, Jtwas a shapely and rather quiet thing according to this picture, snug and smooth as to bodice, open in a triangular bit at the neck, with sleeves a trifle puffy at the shoulders ami a train of moderate length. 'The trimming that runs around the waist across the drapery in front and among the tram." my informant continued, "is exquisite old point lace given to Frances by her grandmother, who wore it almost half a century ago. This lace forms aa enibeUishrneat of ihe costume."

The dress for commencement day is just now agitating the minds of some of our girls, and whether it shall be of cotton, wool or silk is only one of the serious problems to be solved. If in thin goods preference is given India linen and mull. Swiss muslin wrinkles very easily and never looks well after being washed. For trimming mull dresses, a delicate pattern of Oriental lace is used, and this does not cost as much as fine embroidery. A dress in contemplation for thrs occasion is to be of white India linen, with a box plaiting at the foot, and across the front are two deep Bounces of Oriental lace, and above them is a puffed, much wrinkled tablier of the material. Here and there, at the top of the flounces, will rest a cluster of narrow white sash ribbon loops with fancy edges. The back araperj- is arranged in a full pouf at the top and handtome box plaits below reaching to the plaiting around the foot. A broad white satin ribbon sash, arranged in long loops and ends, is placed on the left side. A white satin bodice, without sleeves, and cut low, forming a V outline iu the neck, is bordered with Oriental lacs and frills of the lace are substituted for sleeves. A jabot of lace down the ffQBt'will conceal the closing. A string oi "silver beads will be worn about the throat, and long white silk mits reaching above the elbow are dainty adjuncts. The new white wools, some of which were noticed last week, are marvels of beauty, and will be favored for graduating dreiSes. Snowtlake, for instance, is material that comes in white only, and shows the surface covered with little glittering points, which, with its crape like effect, forms a charming material for such a costume, It combines beautifully with velvet. (!yp3V cloth is a very light material with a canvas weave, showipg a shimjner of silk in its open meines, and is the most youthfdl of all the new season's white novelties. Other wool material suitable for graduation gowns are the white etamines, fn both the tine and coarse canvas eflects. As these must be made over a silk lining they cannot be recommended for their economy; still the silk could be used afterward under some other fabric, in which case there would be no extravagance In having drapery and basque of the very open etamine. Some of it is beautiful and has the effect of being crochetted by a very even worker, using a fine needle and spilt zephyr. Other designs show the cross thread pattern, though the square is open, and on another piece the square is partly covered by bcucle knots placed in every position. A simple but pretty toilet can be made of cream white satine. The foot of the skirt most have the box plaited frill, and the arraiigement of the drapery may appear elaborate, yet be very simple in its loopings. A long tablier and full black drapery may be outlined with an embroidered frill." Make the basque very short, with a vest like arrangements of plaits, which can be rnd-red very ornamental with mllar end rovers of crimson or some more becoming color In vel. vtt, reaching from the neck to the point of the

waist. Tbe cu9s should also H? of tü vel vet. The hair ornaments should be etroK and the glovea of cream white undressed kid. For a very young girl the single braid Iroped in Catogan style ia most becoming; but for an older graduate the hair may be brought high on the head in a loose twist or the FreLch coil that is fashionable just now. Above all things don't forget the pretty lace bag which should swing by your side, and the long ribbon which may "be attached to jour fan, matching the ilota that ornament your dress. Do not have to much decoration, for tbe simple girlhood style show Iwttr taf te for tbe graduate, who is not suppose 1 to be "out," in the social sense. P.RCOVATIXCJ OLI PRESSES. With the present fashions, old dresses may be renovated with little trouble and at moderate expense. For this purpose there are embroidered panels, beaded aprons or quilles of lace, with ribbon bows Any one of these trimmings will change the whole eiU'ct of a dre. Beaded plastrons and lace gnimpes serve for the waists. As lice dresses are to be as much in vogue as last season a verv slight modification in the arrangement of thtir trimming will enable many lalies to dispense with the purchase of a new toi'et. Cream-colored and ecru etamines cai be renovated in two ways. If the article is of a fine quality it can be cleaned, and consequently made like new. If the goo Is are not of a superior sort, and are only a trifle faded, it may be carefully ironed and combined with trimmings and material in a darker ehade. Chestnut and tobacco brown are the most suitable colors for this purpoje. Ftamine dresses are trimmed with ecru lace embroidered galloon in one color, or with cachemire and Algerien design, and bands of "bretonne" embroidery. These bands will also serve to trim canvas goods, navy blue serges for childien's dresses and jerseys and jackets. White breton vest3 are the style for wear under jerseys. The are embroidered with colored silk or wool, or dotted with tiny gilt stars. Jerseys and jtckets are trimmed in the same wav with sequiitsof mother of pearl. Scotch plaid surah or foulard combined with piain goods makes very pretty .si.its Tbere are striied foulards and fancy checked materials used for tbe same purpose. There may be revers and velvet bretelles or p!aied guimps on the waists. Foulard and surah are to be much worn. Cotton foulards are in all the designs of ths silk foulards. Stamped "satinettes" and Alsatian cretonnes make becoming and serviceable dresses, and they are quite indispensable for country wear. GIELS' HATS. Hats are more popular for young girls than bonnets. If the latter are worn, the small, close shape, or that standing up with a higit point it front, are the most popular. Fancy straws of every description are worn. These are as varied in color as they are iu the many patterns in which the stnw is woven. Speckled straws in two neutral or contrastirg shades are s'ylish. Plain straws, both roerse and tine, are shown in every known tist, po that there is no difliculty in getting a desired shade, no matter wiiat thai shade mav be. Vourcr girls patronize the high, fayeriog Spanish bats.with close, deep brims and three narrow or graduated band of velvet and high Icops and wings in front. Another style of hat in much the same shape has a velvet brim of ruby velvet and five or six straps of threeinch satin ribbon brought apparently from out of the brim, as if threaded throug'i it, cairied up to the top of the crown and tied there in one large bow.
