Galessceg, 111., June 14. There passed throughout the northwestern part of this (Knox) county about 8 o'c ock yesterday evening a most destructive tornado, and ruin was left nil along its path. It seems to have made its first appearance northwest of Cialva. About 7:30 o'clock two black threatening clouds were uoticed in the west approaching one another, and tho tornado is thought to have resulted from their junction. Its couro was south and east through that city and the main tody of the storm passed along the main business street of the city. It came with euch suddness that the citizens had no time in which to liy to places of safety. Ia the Free methoJist church there wan assembled a congregation. In the rink there was gathering a oornmitte to arrange for a Fourth of July ce'.ebration. The church was quickly a mass of ruins and the congregation was imprisoned. A number were injured, ono dangerously. Tlio rink was blown down, but thoaa inside managed to escape Without injury. Had the Storm come a fow inomtiiiii later many would have been in this building and loss of life would eurely have resulted, Ii l'mii. wltlt ltunr. The roar of the storm is described as terrible. It was accompanied by midnight darkness and an awlul nweep of wind that carried every thinp before it. Nearly every business bouse alontr the principal street was unroofed and tho stocks of poods were ba lly damaged by tho llooda of water following the tornado. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy round-house wan totally wn eked. The 0. W. Harnett elevator near by was unroofed and 10,000 bushels of e-raia deluged witb water. The Hock Island and l'eoria eleva or and i a part of the dspot went next. The tall steeple of the baptist church was cut oll" as clean as if by a knife and was hurled into the street The congregational church was also badly injured. The paddest feature occurred at August Ols-n'8 houso. There were in the house at the time Mr. and Mr. Oleen, Charles Olsen and four others. The residence suddenly collapsed killing Mr. Oison instantly and the other escaped by a miracle. The place today was in a state of demoralization. Lueiness was completely suspended, the streets were filed wuh debris of every description. The stores were more or less in rains. Hardly a residence but what will need repairs. The damage ' esti mated at $00,X0. Considering the num ber of buildings wrecked it is surprising that there was not greater loss of lite. Mr. Olaen was the only one killed. lb Iajurrd. The injured were as follows: Gk ikgi LaiCKSQN. hip injured and arm broken. Mrs. Albert Ericksox, hurt internally. Urn. Jons tfcicKSON, hurt in back and heed. Mrs. Hehmas Anderson, hurt internally.

The trees g in Washington and Central Pirks were broken and uprooted and the parks were mi or a ceyona reaemnuon. The velocity of the wind wasextraordinary. Cars were blown from the tracks. The top of a freizbt car was blown off. A car of stock wan pushed alone the track and off the switch. W indowa all over town were biowu in.

The southeastern part of (5alva suffered most severely. Alter leaving (ialva the tornado went in a southeasterly direction, according to some, following Walnut creek. From all accounts it mnst have been three or four miles ?n width. The farms all alom: its path to bpoon river suffered moat severely. lairuetla ?r A Horn A. It paseed three and a half miles from Altena. The large brick bouse of Mrs. -i j f i .

Jones crumbled to pieces. Washington Dunbar's large barn was blown over and a number of head of fine stock were killed. He estimates his damage at $3,000. At Altona the roar of the storm could be plainly heard and was frightful. North and east "of there barns were blown down and lighter dwellings forcsd from their foundations, fences blown away, orchards prostratod and ruined and crops leveled. Lord Peterson's house was blown away. . A. Cole's barn was torn to pieces.

Whea the wind struck Claus Peterson's residence it performed curious operation, cutting it in two. The storm in tne vicinity or Lfavetts is said to have been 6vsre. But the damage was less than farther north. It was in the Free methodiat church that most of these injured wer hurt. Thia old buildinz is in the southern part of the town. A large congregation was as sembled, but on seeing and hearing tho storm, started to run out. Nearly all escaped. .Nellie Molin, Mrs. John Lrickon, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Erickson. George Fnckson, Hudah Carlson. Mr. and Mrs. Oßcar Friekson and Mr. Sherman Anderson were cot quick enough and were either buried in the debris or stricken by flying timbers. Albert Friekson, although injured, returned to the church and rescued his brother George, who vaa buried under a mass of rubbish, and would have soon been emothered. The ediCce was reduced to kindling wood. A large crowd soon as sembled and assisted in the work ot rescue. Mrs. Gust Johnson, whoso husband was badlv injured, had a thrilling experience. When the storm was near the house he started to run while ms wile lay down close to the wail. He was stricken down. The only part of the house left etandine was the wall, closo to which Mrs. Johnsoo was lying. Yv hon found she was unconscious from fright. Not a trace is left of a line houso that stood a mile west of Gaiva. SfcVEN KILLKÜ, IEV NTSIN INJURED. Larger Daath Ilata From MoaJij'l Cvclone at Chicago.

An appalling accident occurred today juut outaide the hartar of Blaye, on the river Giroado, fourteen miles northeast of this city. Lying oil the harbor was the British steamer I'etrolia, commanded by Captain Hubback, which had arrived Juno 12 from Philadelphia. Suddenly there was a flash, a tremendous roar and the vessel was apparently blown to pieces. Huge fragments of deck and dtck houses were carried upward to a great hight. Burning oil was floating on the water. This drifted with the tide and floating against several veesels lying at anchor near by set them on Cre. Two or three other vesse's were ignited by burning oil which fell on the bows or rigging. The Petrolia was soon burning furiously and the heat was so intense that it was dangerous for small boats to approach near to her. Volumes of stifling black smoke hung; over and around the steamer. Some of the more venturesome of the boatmen, hearing; cries for help, rowed as clceely as possible to the I'atrolia. They succeeded in picking np sixteen of her crew, three of her engineers and the second officer. Some of the rescued men were several burned. They were taken ashore as rapidly as possible and physicians were bummoned to attend them. The survivors paid that there were twenty others on board the vessel when the explosion occurred, and another search was made in the vicinity of the burning ship in the hope of saving more lives, but not a body was found, and it is believed that every one of these twenty men perished. A FRIOH ! PUL WRECK. Three Killed and Four Ottlars Mertallr VouitdAl tu Kantaekx. MiPDi.rnoRo, Ky., June 14. A frightful wreck occurred at the trcstlo spanning Lonesome Hollow on the K., C, G. A 11. L. railroad this afternoon at 2:13 o'clock. Freight engine No. 10 with sixteen loaded boxes went through, one on top of the other, the distance from the top of the trestle to the ground below being 250 feet. The engineer, Frank Sargent. Fireman Henry plater and Conductor Duckworth were killed outright. Four are mortally wounded and six others slightly hurt. The north-hound passenger train, with one hundred passengers, was only saved by being one-half hour late. A special Irom this place went to the scene of the wreck and brought bark the dead and the wounded. Five KllUit, I ltlit Injarad. Ido!c, June 14. Five persons were killed and eight injured by m collision that occurred early this morning at the Bishop's gate station of the Great Eastern railway. Through some misunderstanding of signals or orders two workingmen's trains collided. Hundreds of working girls were in tho carriages and tho excitement added to by their wild shrieking.

Many of them went into hysterics and the physicians who were summoned had their lands full in attending to them. The live dead were taken to tho morgue. MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.

Baltimore Experiences One of the Greatest iu Her History. Baltimore, June 14. One of the largest fires that ever visited th water front of Baltimore started a few minutes after 2 o'clock this afternoon on the old Hay line wharf, at the foot of Union dock. The lo6, as near as can be estimated, is nearly $1,000.000. It was just the busiest time of day and steamers, schooners and tugs were plying tho river in all directions. The fine old Bay line steamar Virginia was anchored at the wharf and the freight steamer Gaston was beside her. A fourmasted schooner belonging to the CochranOler ice company was close to the right side of the wharf. .The freight bhed of tho Bay line company was stocked with cotton, whisky and general merchandise, consigned to foreign firms. The lire ia thought to have originated in the cotton by epontaneous combustion. Quick as a Hash the lianies ipread, Intenee excitement reignsd along the entire water front. The Bay line wharf was totally destroyed. It was about five hundred feet long and 200 feet water front. Tho wharf had on it a largo waaehouse. a brick lauudry and a newly-erected ofiice buildinc Before tho schooner Carolina and the GasUn could be towed from the wharf they were badly damaged. Lying in Cochran Olers's wharf, just southwest of the burning pier, were the fine four-masted ice schooners, Wesley Oler, Mamo Howard and Wil iam Wirl. The names caught the ringing of the Oler nnd then the other echoontrs, eating at the mnata and the pai 's. Tu es weio quickly on hand and towed the burning vessels to sat.ty. The streams from the tugs were turned upon the schooners and the flames w:re quickly conquered, but not until considerable uar.gi was Other schooners were damaged. AN ERRING WIFE. done. She Is Responsible lor a Sensational Double Tragedy. At.kaxsas City, Ark., June 14. A wayward woman was the cause of a sensational double tragedy which occurred late last night at tho Gladstone hotel in this city. As a result J. A. McCormick, who fitftiree in the role of tho avenging bus band, and D. C. Jones, Mr3. McCormick's paramour, are both dead. McCormick was a wealthy ranchman, having a big cattlo ranch at Willow Spring?, twenty miles south of this city. Jones lived in Kingi(her, O. T. For Beveral days past Mrs. McCormick has been visiting in this city. Jones was also here, and as he had formerly been on terms of intimacy with Mrs. McCormick, enjoyed her society almost incessantly. lie made the boHt yesterday that he would retire with Mrs. McCormick last night. A friend of McCormick's beard of the bonst and nent word to the latter, who immediately came to the rity yesterday afternoon to look ufter his erring spouse. He hid out until "J: M0, when he went to the room of Mrs. McCormick. He opened the door unceremoniously. Jones, undressed, was lyin on the bed, and his wiftt bo saw in the room aNo undressed. Without a word McCormick commenced shooting. He only wounded Jenes the first shut, and then stopped and com menced to curse him. Jonss reached for Ids revolver and then both opened fire. Jones was shot three times nnd McCormick twice. Both died almost in.tantlv. Mra. McCormick, without any clothes on, managed to escape from tho room. SUICIDE AND DROWNING. Mother Disposes of Herself and Two Children. Bay City, Mich., Juno 14. Mrs. George Beaudry of South Bay City jumped into the river thi3 morning with her two clnl dren. All were drowned. This morning about 0 o'clock Mrs. Beaudry arose as usual and began getting breakfast. Her husband and the children were in bed. A few minutes later bh aroused George nnd Victoria, the youngest of her family of five, dressed them and started for the river. Arriving there she sat down on the dock with a child on either side. Suddenly ehe pushed the boy into the river and seeing a man coming down the street she jumped in herself, ith tho girl in her arms. The nsn reached the river in time to see the mother and children about to sink. She was holding tho little girl under the water and the boy was Hound erinir about. Not w ihii'g to risk hia life in an attempt to save the three the man ran back to the street and gave the alarm. but too late. The coroner was notified and the bodies were recovered. Mr, Beaudrv says he cannot account for the awful action of his wife. A FIEND HUSBAND. Ho Commits an Atrocions Crime on His AY lie While Drunk. BrFFALO, N. Y., Jons 15.

A Fallina Bridgo Carries Down Scores with It, Who Are Either Killed or Frightfully Injured.

Cincinnati, Juno 15. A casualty euch ss throws a pall of sorrow over a community and sends a thrill of horror throuch the civilized world happened on the Lick ing river between Newport and Coving ton, Ky., thfs forenoon. A wsgon and 6tieet railway bridgo was in process of construction between the two cities. It left Covington at Twelfth et. and eutered Newport at Lleventh-et. The Chesapeake Sc Ohio railroad bridge crosses the Licking about 500 yards above this point. The banks of the Licklne are very steep at the point where this roaaway and street railroad bridge is to cross. The contractors for tho iron work of the bridge were the Bsird Bros, of Pittsburg. They were Andrew and Ilobert Baird. Kven hereafter they will be tpoken of in tho past tene, for they both went down to death with their two score or mote of workmen. The bridzo was a strong wrought iron structure. The treat stone piers on each side of the river were finished, as were also the approaches to theiu. The iron works of the approaches are very masaive. The span betw een the two piers looks to be 0(10 feet. The bight of the truss which was to form the bridire span between these two piers was ?ixty-üve feet auove low water. Falso work of piling and timbers had been conducted in the river. On tho top of this false work the construction cf the iron truss began exactly midway between the two picra and tho work was pushed from the middle both ways. Five bents or sections of tho ponderous iron work lud been constructed. L'ach bent or section was thirty feet long, making nearly half the span. On the top of this was an apparatus known to bridge men as the traveller, which is used to extend the structure from the ends. This traveller rose some thirty feet above the main structure. It was full of men at at 10:1)0 this morning and some of them near the top of it were nearly 100 feet above the waters of the Licking river. The timbers of tho false work were beams about sixteen incnes equaro. They were old and weather-beaten, and had evidently been used before. However, in bulkineca and to all outward appearances they were 6trone. The facts show they were not strong enough for the immense weight they were required to bear. The burden ot thirty-Cvo or thirty-six men, or for that matter of 3.000 men would have been es nothing for these irreat beams of yellew pine. It was the mass of iron weighing hundreds upon hundreds of tons that overmatched thorn, wrought ruin and gathered an awful harvest for death. Tne Crash Comas. It was about 10:30 this morning when thirty-six men were in the traveler and no one alive Can tell how many men were working below when the awlul moment came. It came, too, like a bolt from heaven. No . warning came from those over-taxed beams Of sturdy pine. iSuddenly, as if broken by some resistless invisible force, they broke and crashed down into the river below a mass of ruins, und it which a score of human lives went out. Of course there was a rush to the scene from both sides of the river. The debris filled the deep stream from bank to bank. Teople rilled both shores but from the configuration of the wreck aid was most easily rendered from the Newport side. The stream was soon full of skins and the work of rescuing the living began and went on brave'v without a directing head. Indeed it was done quite as well, perhaps better, than it would have been done by any orgauizud life saving corps. This work was- kept up all day, and it is still going on tonight. The police of the three sister cities were soon at the scene, and they rendered noble service In caring for the dead and in removing the wounded to homes or hospitals. At the hour of the accident there wero few other than the workmen on the bridge near the scene, which loaves the few survivors among the victims as the oniy ones to tell the story. A Hare Paves Many LtTes. Charles II. Wilkerson is a hero. His home is 031 I Main-st., Louisville, Ky. He was brought np on the Maumee river, near Toledo, and has lived at Buffalo and other places on Lake Erie. He is at homo in water. His work was atthe engineontho New port approach and near the pier. He rushed to the rescue. He says the timbers of the false work buckled down stream and everything went down into a heap as quickly ss a stone let fall from the top of the works. 'Wilkerson saved many Uvea of the wouuded and then went to diving for the lie au. Th' lirst doad man ho got was James J. Johnson of Havre He Grace, Md. This man had a brother injured at Canava, W. Va., who had become insane from his injuries, received while working for the

Baird brothers. He had sued the Baird brothers for $10.000 and was here on the bridge looking up testimony among the men engaged on these works. Tho next man Wilkerson rescued by diving was Andrew Baird, one of the contractors, who arrived here only this morning and was on the bridge with his brother, Robert, inspecting the work. He intended to go away tonight. Kobert has leenhereall along superintending the work. Those Baird Bros, by the way were engaged on the great bridge at Memphis and have had much experience in bridga building. Wilkereon, after telling his story, started from the river, saying, "I'm going to keep on diviner," and at sunset he was zeal ousiy keeping his werd. There is one point in which all teriicaony agrees, and that point is that the fall was in the twinkling of an eye, with no warning. A point on which there is no testimony is, What caused the false work to give way? There are conjectures that the piling was not driven deeply enough in the bottom of the river. But tho structure did not eink, it snapped. One thing is clear. It was not strong enough, though it looked so. The wounded wero scattered all over the

thre cities of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport, and surgical attendance was prompt and efficient and amply sutlicient. Th K-lltl. There were sixty-eight persons on and abot the bridgo when it fell.

KILLED IN A CVCLONH. A Terrlflo Storm Works Pesolatten In a School. Pt. Tlosir, Qn.t June 15. The pretty lettle villas n - Jsc. ft fashionable summer resort near Montreal, was the scene of a frightful catastrophe yesterday afternoon. As the village is out of the way and tflegraphio communication was shut olf nothing was known of it until todev. Shortly after 2 o'clock the residents of SL. Rose noticed the darkened clouds gathering on the horizon. Suddenly there was a low, sullen roar, and In the twinklinz of an eyo the light of day was changed into the blackness of Dight. With hardly a warning a terrible cyclone ctnmV tin villain, rjirrviui? evervthiner btforeit. Houses were carried away; huge trees were torn Irom their very roots ; animals were literally carried away by the wind and deposited in fields acres distant.

Tiers twentv-fivo children were being taught bv their young teacher, Misi LacaisBe. VhLe teacher and scholars were intent upon their lessons. It suddenly bepumft ritch dark. In a moment the pitiless cvclone had struck the small wooden school house, tearing it to pieces like a match-box.

Ths scene at the scheol bouts tfer the wreck was full of ai;ony. The news here spread and parents ran t tee scene to look for tneir children.

DENIED SACRAMENT. rißht Hundred Sinning Catholics Ex communicated at Cleveland. Cleveland, June 15.

A Common-Sansa View or the JueittoB Ileiuance In Liarjday L,'fe. "It is a e'trn f 'culture in eotae critical quartsr nowadays to depreciate Dickem and Thackeray, and exait certain contemporary writers as tha exponents of true reabiia,' p!ys Walter J51ackturn Harte in the JuneÄViJ Unwind Magazir.e. 'It is claimed that Dicken' n;Oii and vomea are all caricatures; but hai any conUmcorary author created any character more real than Sidney t'arton? There on be no question of Thack.ray's realism. And,, anyway, why should we. le asked to ap- j preciate by contraries' Tlitre ara eome cor benighted beings who cannot appreciate lUnrv James or William Dean!

If they exrreos admiration' forTobtoi they feel it incumbent upon, them to depreciate Dickens and Thack- -eray. It is not necessary in order to praisa the living to execrate the dead; or vicef versa. This lack of catholicity is absurd.' it is a sit n of bigotry, parcchialisn, and a. lathomlees ignorance. "It is stireiy posfiblo to enjey both romance and realism? I think most of us do, for in everyday lifo It is hard to make a distinction between them. There are hundreds of people in almost everybody's acquaintance who would be f s romantically imporiblo In a novel as the old 'heroes are gsnernlly thought ta bo outside of cne. It is hard to say where realism, leaves oil and romance berins. Tragedies ttk place at little tables everv day in crow de 1 restaurants.
