The brunt of the storm was laid npon the prosperous little town of Norman, on the Santa Fe railroad, about twenty miles south of here. At that point thirty-one people were killed, dozens injured, and the town almost completely destroyed. A pall has overspread the town, business is suspended, and everybody able to render any assistance to the poor unfortunates or lowards removing the bodies are out searching along the track of the cyclone. The people are frenzied and cannot give inv estimate of their loss, and know nothing except to care for the dead and injured. Oklahoma City has responded nobly and the mayor acd principal citizens organized a relief corps and aro at the scene of destruction. Further on the towns of Downs and Keokuk Falls fared but little better. The towns wera nearly devastated and ecores of people injured fatally and otherwise, though the loss of lives here, if at all, will not be as serious as at Normau. Many Sought Their Caves. The first signs of the impending danger were seen late yesterday afternoon in a pall of black clouds overshadowing the worthiest while further west rushing rmkm KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tend to personal enjoyment when rightly used.

HOW TO KEEP IT OFF:

A SIMPLE VEGETABLE REMEDY. "I was at'aoked with Malarial Ftver in the summers of both 1S82 and '3 and became very much reduced in flesh, and my friend thought I woul 1 di. I was induced to try Simmons Liver Regulator aud commenced improving at oooe. Before taking three bottles of Regulator I was entirely wf II of Malarial poison and have not had an attack of it since. . . My son had a severe attack of Chills, and I gave him a few dosea of Regulator, which completely eared him.' John T. Chappell, Poplar Mount, Ya. across the horizon could be seen the cyclone. Men left their business places and hurried to their homes, where all who could quickly sought the cyclone caves. At 7:20 o'clock the monster from the "West reached its antagonist in the Northwest and with their combined strength swooped down on the town of Moore. Houses with precious lives were caught up and carried before the angry torrent creat trees wera twisted off and barns, fences and everything in it3path was laid low. Passing along for eight miles it struck the town of Norman, where the damace was repeated, acd then on to Downs and Keokuk falls and through Pottawattomie county, where thousands dollars' worth of property was demolished and where many lives must have been eacriflced. The O'Connor Family Annihilated. The house of J. O'Connor, near Moore, was destroyed and O'Connor, his wife and six children and five neighbors who had sought shelter in the building, supposing it was torpedo proof, were crushed to death. Tho frame house of John Banks was torn to pieces and ho was killed, while others of his family of eix were badly injured, three of the children and Mrs Banks fatally. The home of Henry D. Myer waa demolished but his sick wife and child were picked up and carried some distance without being hurt. West of Norman efcht houses were demolished and live or six people badly injured. Fast of the stricken town two men and tw women were killed. Similar reports come from all around, but it seem impossible to get names. A Xljjht of Terror. The night passed by those who had escaped the storm's ravages was hideous in the extreme. Around Norman after the cyclone had done its destruction a fearful hailstorm etarted in and after it a violent rain etorm. It waa too dark to search out the dead and moat of the injured and dyinfc who wore successful in making their voices heard above the storm's roar came but feeble relief. The wouldbe rescuers could hear the cries of the unfortunates, and here and there locate tho imprisoned victims, but help in moat cases was out of the question, and several of the poor unfortunates were compelled to lay buried beneath the debris of their once happy home?. Those who survived with their injuries and after having lain in the cold and wet all nuht were too faint when morning came to cry for help, and lay half unconscious till found by their rescuers. Men and women and children by the score, who bad lost their homes and in many instances were separated from their families, spent the dismal night, as a rule, in the rain and amongst the debris in an endeavor to find and help their loved ones. Their search was generally fruitless for the storm was so furious that it was absolutely necessary to protect themselves by seeking what shelter remained. This was but scant, and when morning came it found a sad and pitiable sight. Women carrying babies and little children crying for their mothers could be Been wandering around wet to tho skin and nearly ready to drop in their tracks. AVork of Itescue. As soon as it waaliht enough the men, after providing what comfort was possible for the women and children, commenced the work of rescue. The poor victims who had been imprisoned all night were carefully carried fo improvised hospitals where all the care possible was tendered them. But few saved more than what they had on their backs. As the dead and injured were brought into the hospital the scene was mo6t pitiable friends and relatives recognized by their loved ones, dead or too weak to return their recognition. Help from neighboring towns soon arrived and before nightfall something like comfort was provided. Everthing, however, is in confusion and it will be impossible to gain a correct list of the casualties before tomorrow. In Payne county, fifty miles north and near the line, a water spout struck about the same time as did the cyclone, and although it is known that several houses were swept away, it is not known whether or not any lives lost. Guthrie, O. T., April 27. Late reports from the storm-swept portions of the territory make it certain that the number of the killed exceeds eeventy-five, while over two hundred persons were injured, many fatally. At Norman, la the southern part of Oklahoma, thirty-four bodies have been prepared for burial. Nearly a dozen people are mu-sing and it is expected that five or six of the badly injured will die. In the vicinity of Norman, which was the center of tho worst storm, as far as the eye can reach are scattered wrecked buildings, furniture, implements and bodies of animals. A hundred and fifty farms are swept clean of building, fences, orchards and crops, and the people who were not killed are left in povertv. In almost every case where the people were cauerbt in their houses they were stricken in death or badly injured. The little town of Case, forty miles southeast of here, was visited -by the same tornado which passed east of Norman and almost demolished It and five ceoDlein

one family were killed while two men in a store were crushed to death and a number injured. Another tornado struck Cimmaron City in the afternoon and was much more disastrous than at first reported. Not a building was left etanding in the town and several people were injured, some fatally. . A man coming in from an isolated neighborhood in the extreme eastern part of Payne county says a dozen people were killed there by a third tornado. It will be several days yet before the full details of the storm's ravages can be obtained, as roads are washed out and bridces gone, consequently no communication and travel is obtainable. Iteports from Burcell savs a tornado formed about 5:30 o'clock north of there and killed four people and injured several others. This was followed about an hour latr by a second tornado which passed on the other side of Norman and swept through the most prosperous portion ot Oklahoma. The track of the eecond and worst tornado waa a mile wide and twenty miles long down the valley of the Canadian river in Cleveland county. Over one hundred goodly farms were swept clean and several bodies of victims found miles away. Duriug the aiternooa and evening other portions of the territory were visited by cyclones of greater or less magnitude. West of here a dozen or more houses were demolished and several people injured. At one place this morning fifteen dead bodies had been gathered into one house which the storm had missed and tho scene there was a terrible one. A car-load of eolfins had been sent to Norman and every city in Oklahoma will raise a fund to aid the BUilerers. There are several injured persons yet expected to die. There will bo a general funeral at this place and Purcell tomorrow when tho unfortunate people will be buried. THE NARONIC'S FATE.

Letter of Socond Engineer Lucock Stating- tho Boilers Were Unsafe. riTTsiu-RO, April 27. John Lucock, an electrician in the employ of the Western Union telegraph company in this city, mado a statement today that may throw some light on the loss of the steamer Naronic. He says his brother Robert was employed on the Naronio in the capacity of second engineer, and that just after the vessel arrived at Liverpool on ita last trip, he wrote a letter to his brother Thomas, who is located in Chicago, stating that the boilers in the engine wera in very bad shape- and that they had had a hard tiuio in going over from New York to Liverpool. Tho writer stated that unless repairs were made while the vessel was lying at Liverpool the return trip would very likely prove to be a very dangerous one. Lucock waa averse to talking, but said that while of course he had not the remotest idea of what caused the vessel to sink, from the tone of his brother's letter he was inclined to think that the boilers had blown up. Robert, he said, was a verv conservative man, and would not write anything about the boilers that would be inaccurate or unreliable. As he is among the missing, it would be a difficult matter to prove that the vessel's destruction was caused in this way. The letter also stated that he was about to make his last trip and did not intend to follow the ocean any longer. Mr. Lucock had another brother lost in about the same way oil' the shores of Australia. DEBS IS UPHELD, The Terre Haute Lodge Refuses i " Expel Him. Thrre Haute, Ind., April 2G. Spe clal. Local lodge No. 1G, Brotherhood locomotive firemen, were in sesaion until past midnight considering the case of ex-Grand Secretary . Engene V. Debs, whose contemplated expulsion from the local lodge has been widely discussed. The cause of the trouble arose from expressions of Debs in a recent interview, in which he pointed out the shortcomings of the brotheerhood and insisted the railroad men enould be organized on a broader basis. Those active in eeeking his expulsion held that his views were inimical to the brotherhood and contemplated its disruption. The ex-grand secretary won a signal victory and his opponents were routed. Debs showed that he had been elected grand secretary for thirteen successive vears without an opposing candidate against him, or asingle vote against him, and that he had hover accepted but a moiety of the salary voted him. After his statement the lodge voted unanimously to drop tne charges, and in explanation claimed that only out of fe.tr that his activity in founding the American railway union might lead to the disruption of the Brotherhood of locomotive firemen had the inquisition been begun. Charges against Grand Secretary Arnold were even considered, and the whole matter is regarded as settled. EARL OF CRAVEN AND BR I D E. They Travel with Trunks, Boxes and Servants Cialore. Cleveland, April 26. The earl of Craven and bride, who are on their wedding trip, arrived in the city laßt night, and are stopping at the Hollenden. They are attended by an English vulet and maid servant, and carry enough baggage to supply an opera company. There were eleven trunks and boxes and half as manv hand pieces directed to their rooms last night, and the hotel people did not know whether there wera any more to arrive or not. Their apartments are what are known as the bridal parlors. Impaired digestion repaired by Beechara's Pills. " White and aazzling In the moon's fair lights tie looked." Nothing remarkable about that!

SOUGS OF FREEDOM

Joyfully Peal Forth to Weicome Liberty Bell. Great Day for the School Children of tho City. WITNESSED BY THOUSANDS Impressive Ceremonies Held at the State House, Where Songs and Patriotic Speeches Herald Liberty. Worklnjrmen by the Thousand Gaze at tho Famous Old Bell in the Early Morninff and Fifteen Thousand Fchool Children Look at It for the First Time Feoplo Anxious to Get Souvenirs by Rubbing Trinkets Against the ltell Detail of tho ArrangementsGood Words for tho Police The Committee Entertained A Triumphant Journey. Immense throngs, bright skies, unbounded enthusiasm 1 That was Indian aoolis' tribute to the siient bell which once proclaimed liberty to all the land, to all the world. The train, which consisted of six cars, Lir.KKTV REU.. contained all the guard of honor which the citv of Philadelphia had sent with the bell. In tho first sleeper was Mayor Stuart and part of the committee, and in the second the others of the committee and the newspaper men. At 7 o'clock they were all up and breakfasted and began the preparations for the reception to the bell. The First Visitor. The first visitors were the workingmen on their way to the shops. 1'robably 2,000 or more had looked at tho bell by 7 o'clock. An hour later the crowds began to gather in the streets to see the official demonstration which should celebrate tho event of ita vidit. Superintendent Colbert had a large detail of police ready to guard the crowds anil they were kept moving until the platforms were built. At ! o'clock the crowds became denser and it was considered necessary to send for more othcers, but the peoplo were good natu red and it was decided not to do so. All this time the carpenters were busy at work on the platforms on either side. It was at last decided best to ropeoffone side and let the crowd pass on the other side. That proved to be a good idea, but the crowds were pushing bo hard against the ropes,, that it seemed as though some people must be crushed down. One young lady did faint and was borne into the com mil tee's car for attention. As the crowd pressed on tho platforms and tried to reach the bell one man handed his ring to one of the othcers to bo rubbed cn the bell. The idea caught like wildfire. Instantly scores of hands were reached out with watches, handkerchiefs, rings, coins and anything else that could be got at. The ollicers very kindly rubbed the articles against the surface of the bell and the crowds pressed still denser. It nas seen that such a condition could not last and it was stopped by order of the police. But not until hundreds had secured souvenirs to be treasured for years as mementos of the day. The crowd presented a very motley appearance, as all crowds do, perhaps, but this one seemed to be more cosmopolitan than most others. There were hundreds in from the country who were not used to such throngs and the scrapes they were unwittingly led into were amusing. Wraps, hats, handkerchiefs and other articles of wearing apparel were torn and trampled beneath the feet of the multitude. But the people wera good-natured and took it kindly. The result of the tearing process was that the police had an assorted collection of miscellaneous articles of adornment before half the people had gotten by. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, though the little folks and the aged were badly squeezed in pome case.. So eager were the men for a Eight of the bell that they forgot for a time the natural gentlemanly instinct and crowded all alike. THE EXERCISES. A Remarkable Gathering of School Children Patriotic Npeei-lte. At 9:15 the committees from the board of trade and the Commercial club arrived at the car and were introduced individually to the members of the escort committee and guard of honor. They immediately entered carriages and were driven to the 6tate house, where they were introduced to the other guests in the governor's reception room. The committee then proceeded to the eajt end of the capitol, where a platform had been erected for the exercises. The advance of the children on the state house to take part in the exercises was one of the moat impressive sights man eyer saw. ' As the little people gathered in Tennes-see-et. it was beautiful. Filling all the two squares from Washington to Ohioets., the children were standing as thickly as possible. Marshaled by their teachers end looking bright and happy the little ones waved aloft their banners and sang and cheered and enjoyed themselves. Nearly every one carried a bouquet to leave as a tribute to the bell. At every station the bell has been almost buried in flowers when it left. Children Out In Force. The older persona Hoed the sidewalks, but were not allowed to enter the inclosure, sacred to the children alone. When it seemed at though the space was all full, still the young Americans came and poured into the square from all four sides, until it seemed to the waiting people as though the entire population of the city was composed of children and all had turned out to see the bell. It was a bright scene, and a scene that will live long in the memory of those who saw it. Indianapolis never saw the like before and will never again for the same cause. The children from the catholic schools were out, 2,000 or more strong, headed by their teachers,and very enthusiastic. These children were from the parish schools of St. John, ÜU Bridget, St. Joseph, ÜL Batrick and the Sacred Heart. Any degree of accuracy in estimating the number of children ii impossible, but s

4Ä

there were not far from fifteen thousand. Perhaps that figure was not reached, but it was very near it. Add to that the number of the older people and the crowd was of vast proportions. At 10:15 ex-President Harrison left the governor's parlors in the state house and with Mayor .Sullivan stepped out npon the platform provided for the occasion. Superintendent Jones mounted the stage and directed the chorus in singing "America," It was a noble anthem which pealed from the thousands of throats, swelling with the patriotic words, and the music rolled upward in one mighty wave of melodious sound. It was grand and powerful. After the music ceased Mayor Sullivan introduced Mr. Harrison as follows: The committee which prepared the program did it for the children of Indianapolis. It is my duty only to annoocoe the numbers. I have the honor to introduce a gentleman who will say a few words to you. There is no gentleman in this nation better fitted to peak upon this occasion. He comet from a family that had much to do with the making of tLia bell's history, I mean our fellow-townsman. Gen. Benjamin Harrison. When Mr. Harrison stepped forward there was tumultuous cheering, and after it died away he said: Gen. Harrison' Speech. My Young Friends and Fellow-Citizens I am glad today to be a citizen of Indianapolis. 1 am clad to participate in that worthy pride which we all feel at being able to make, before these distinguished visiting strangers, such a magnificent exhibition of our Indianapolis schools. I think I should first, for you, moat ainoerely thank Mayor Stuart of Philadelphia and the gentlemen who acoempany him fcr their kimlness in enabling the citizens and especially the children of our schools to aee thia great relio, the Liberty bell. We are grateful to them for having so graciously yielded to the regnest of our citizens to give each of you a favored opportunity to see this most interesting relio. It is only a bell and a dumb bell ft that. It has spoken its great message to the world and is now forever silent. It is not the material thing that we shall look upon with interest; it is that which it typifies. It is the enduring thing for which it stands that kindles our hearts and our enthusiasm today. Cheers. It the old tue a and the old women of this country shall lose their sentiment and forego the exercite of their imagination, those great things will be preserved among the children. I rejoice that there is a Renaissance of patriotism in the United States. I rejoice to believe that in onr own hearts the nig means more today than ever belore in our history. Cheers. There are more people that lore it, and the generation that is coming on will lore it more fervently than that which is passing otl the stage. Cheers. I rejoice that the American flag floats over more of our schools of instruction for the young today than ever before. Cheers. 1 have read with interest, within the last few days, of the lifting of the flag on tbe Navesink Highlands of New Jersey, so that our own people, returning from foreign shores, or those woxihy immigrants who seek a home among us, shall catch aipht of the atarry banner when the land lifts itself above the horizon. Enthusiastic cheers. The Hag of the highlands, the Hariholdi statue, lifting the torch of liberty in the harbor, are good object-lessons to those who come to be American citizens. I had unfeigned and lasting pleasure in the faot that one ot my last public acts was to lift tbe American flag over a great steamship in the harbor of the city of New York. It was liberty this bell proclaimed, liberty throughout all the land, to the people thereof; ana how wonderful that nearly a quarter ef a century before, when the committee of your legislature selected an inscription for that bell, they uneonsoiously foretold tbe great act it was to perform. Let us never forget that the liberty which this bell rang out was a iiberty regulated by law cheers a liberty to be free to do as each one pleased only so far as the rights of others were uot invaded. Let us learn again this great lesson that no worthy objeet can be promoted except upon the lines of social order and lawful submission to public authority. Cheers. Not labor, not the church, not those who pretend to seek with unauthorized hands the ends of pnblio justice, can promote any of these causes by acts of violence, it is the law, casting ita shelter over every household, arming every man in a panoply that should be impenetrable that makes our home life possible and tbese schools what they are. This old bell waa made in England, but it had to be re-cast in America enthusiastic cheers before it was attuned to proclaim the right of self-government and the equal rights of men. And therein it was a type of what our institutions bare been doing for tbnt great teeicing throng of immigrant from ail lands, who heard its voice over the great waters, and caoie here, subj'ots to be re-cast into American citizens. Cheers. 1 want to thank you for your patient attempt to hear me, and to beg that you will exouse me from further speech, in order that you may promptly see that for which you have assembled this old beil, which, if you will, but open the earsof your hearts, will tell you the story of our hcroio ancestry, of the origin of our government, more eloquently than any speaker oaa do it. Cheers. At the conclusion of hia remarks the cheering was renewed, and when it ceased Mavor Sullivan introduced Mayor Stuart of Philadelphia, who said: "o Money Conld Ituy It. We pass through your city carrying the most saored relie in the United States. Many of you will see it today for the first and last time. While that deolaration of independence ot which Mr. Harrison just spoke was being acted upon in Independence hall, Philadelphia, his paternal ancestor presided over the deliberations. I could not give a more patriotic expression than one which I reoently read. 'There is not enough money in the world to buy that old bell. There are not enough people in tbe world to capture it. The people of Philadelphia, of Pennsylvania, of Ohio, Iudiana, of the whole union, would shed their blood and lay down their lives for it." This closed tbe exercises at the state house, and after singing "The Liberty Bell." the children began their march down Tennessee-st., which was continued until after 11 o'clock. THE PROCESSION.

Mnny Thousands of School Children Funned the Mnc. About 10:30 the procession of children began to move, and it was a glorious eight to see the thousands of young people marching down Tenneseee-st., which was kept clear by the officers. No grown persons were permitted inside the curbstones, and if by chance any one stepped down he was sum warily pushed back by the oflicers in charge. Both eides of the street were lined by the thousands in waiting to see the children pass, and the fluttering banners, cheers and shouts, combined with tl - ";ayety of the little people and their brill, ' it dresses, made a scene of indescribable splendor. DEPARTURE OF THE BELL. Hundreds of People Congregate at the I nion Station to See It Off. At 1:25 o'clock the bell was taken from the stand and backed down into the depot. The crowd followed, and many Mikes an every-day convenience of an old-time luxury, pure and wholesome. Prepared with scrupulous care. Highest award at all Pure Food Expositions.

The same ecenes were repeated w hen the train was preparing to leave. The crowd surged throneh the station and up both sides of the track, and hundred paeeed up trinkets to be touched to the bell for souvenirs, and scores had their little ones placed for an instant by the ever ready officers. For upward of half an hour the people came and looked and went away, satisfied that they nad seen the noble old relio about which they had heard so much. When finally the train did pull out the throng was just as large and would have been had it stayed all day and all nizht. The thousands who saw it were only equaled by tbe thousands who didn't; but it has blessed the city with its presence and has gone forth with the good wishes of the city expressed for its safe arrival where the nations of the world are soing to look upon it for the next six months. The floral tributes were many and very beautiful. They were varied, also, and ranged from a small bunch of apple blossoms to the magnificent wreath prepared by a professional florist. With the earlands of Indianapolis around it it has gone forth to teach its leeson to all who may look upon it hereafter. ORDER OF EASTERN STAR.

Jim Burke and Sam Massey, negroes, were hanged here at 2 o'clock today in the presence of 10,000 people of all colors, rizca and sexes. Burko'a crime was outraging Mrs. -Clem-cos, a white woman aged fifty-one, near Ambia. He was arrested and barely es-' coped lynching by a mob.

The case of the supreme sitting of the. Order of the Iron Hail apainst Albert Baker and others was decided Thursday. The case came up from JuJga Taylor ol the Marion superior conrt and judgment was affirmed. Baker et al. were victimi of the Iron Hall swindle and brought suit for the appointment of a receiver. Judgi Taylor decided for the plaintiffs and tht receiver was appointed. The following is, in substance, the opinion as prepared by Judge Olds: Appellants charged error it the complaint that it did not state facts suüicient to constitute a cause for action. As the appeal waa only from the order appointing a receiver, and if tbe appointment of a receiver is but auxiliary to a pending action to keep intact a fund sought to be reached and applied in satisfaction of a final judgment to be rendered, the sufficiency of the complaint will not be tested, but if tbe appointment of a receiver is tht main cnose ot the suit then the eonrt must in' vesti;ate the tullioieuey of the complaint. Te-teJ as it may be, and is, in this case, fa this court, for the first time, the complaint will not be consumed by any harsh and technical rule, but it must state, at lesst generally, cause for the appointment of a receiver or it cannot be sustained. Tbe complaint bases its demand for the appointment ot a receiver and the dissolution cf the corporation on the grounds of its insol vency and the general mismanagement of its art airs by its officers. A court has no power to dissolve a corporation without the authority of a statute to that effect. Indiana has no suob statute; bence the action for the dissolution ot the corporation cannot be sustained. A court of equity should not rr '.hlessly wreit from the legally constituted ofhoers of a corporation the management of its affairs and the property ot the corporation and tarn it over to a receiver; sncb power should not be exercised unless it is clearly evident that it is for the bebt interests of those cocceroed.bat we think, under our statute, the court has the power where it is clearly made to appear thai the exigencies of the case demands that it be done. Authorities state that the power to call into action this power of court rests alike with a creditor and a shareholder ot a corporation. If the oflicers of a corporation prore false to their trust eni set about to bankrupt it the end maybe reached before a change in the management ean be made, and unless a court of equity interleres the shareholders mny be without remedy. It is upon this theory that we think a proceeding for tbe appointment of a receiver can be maintained, though as we have suggested, the prayer of tbe petitioners would indicate that the pleader nicht have had in mind tUe dissolution of the corporation; yet the petition states the facts, and upon the facts its sufHoieney must be jujred. In this case the ofhoers of the corporation who are charged with gron acti of rjissdministratiou of its afhurs are non-residents of the state; they are charged with already having takeu J75O,tO0 of its funds from its treasury and depositing them with an insolvent trust outside the state, controlled by tham, and ueing tbe same Icy their own benefit, giving no security for its payment or reward for its use. To preserve the usefulness and perpetuate the beneficence of the ins'itntion it is necessary that its buii ness be continued, the dues eoileoted aad the benefioiarits paid. It is manifest that any relief which eould be obtained by means of aa injunction wou d not be an adequate remedy or meet the emergency existing. While a re ceiver, if one be appointed, would supercede the othcers. the shareholders could pay money, it would be secure and the business could be conducted on a safe basis until a remedy could ba had through the organization itself, by removing dishonest or inoompetent officers and electluK other and honest or competent ones, requiring them to give responsible bond. lhe appellees have a right to have the funds protected and preserved and applied to the proper use and the corporation perpetuated. The complaint statei a good cause for the appointment of a receiver and the presumption is that the proof made under it fully sustained the action of the court in the appointment of a re eeiver. Their are some minor questions disoused, which we nave considered acd in which there is no error, and we deem it un necesary to discuss them.
