THE TORNADO.

It Scatter* Death and Destruction Several States—A Number of Lives Lost la Ohio. Cleveland, 0., May 24. —A terrible windstorm struck this city at 8 o’clock a. m. Four men were instantly killed and many injured in the numerous casualties. A portion of the plate departmen t of the Cleveland Rolling Mill company, undergoing construction, gave way to the storm with fatal results. There were a number employed on the structure, two of whom were killed instantly, another received injuries which will doubtless prove fatal, and several more were badly injured. Another casualty caused by the severity of the storm was the destruction of a two-story frame house at the corner of Doan and Superior streets. It was blown down and John Cole buried beneath the debris. When taken out the man was in a terrible condition and death soon followed, after intense suffering. A scaffold blown from its fastenings by the high wind, seriously and in one case fatally injured four men employed by the Cleveland Gaslight and Coke company. Dispatches indicate that the entire northwestern portion of the state was swept by the storm. At Findlay the brick building of the Bell Pottery company was partially wrecked, the roof being carried »away and one wall crushed in. Two hundred employes had a narrow escape. The Model glass factory and the Salem wire nail works were unroofed. In Lima tls- gas works were unroofed and the smokestack* of several factories blown down.

In the oil fields thousands of derricks were blown down, the loss to the Standard Oil company alone amounting to thousands of dollars. The little town of Fort Recovery was almost leveled by the storm and a large number injured. The duration of the storm was not over ten seconds and the total damage in the country about Lima will amount to at least $1,000,000. At Fremont the spire of the Lutheran church was blown over, falling on the residence of Mrs. Corry, entirely destroying the east part of it. Och’s carriage works were struck and completely demolished. Ten men were in the three-story frame structure, and with the exception of Conrad Bnsold escaped with slight injuries. Busold had both legs broken and is in a critical condition. In Mercer county great damage was done to farm buildings, fences and forests. Indianapolis, Ind., May 24.—A windstorm passed over Indiana about 4 o’clock a. m. and did much damage. In the eastern and southern portions of the state the wind blew with the greatest force. At Jeffer-

sonville many houses were unroofed and trees were blown down. John Slem was blown over an embankment and severely injured. At Elwood the roof of the American tin plate works was blown off and the building otherwise damaged. This is the third time the great plant has been damaged by storm. At Marion the roaster building of the Columbia zinc works was blown over; also the smokestack, which fell on the main building, crushing the walls and damaging the machinery. Detroit, Mich., May 24.—A tornado came down from the northeast at 8 o’clock Tuesday morning. It struck the northern edge of the city, leveling trees, fences, frame buildings and wireladen poles. Its greatest force was exploded within the limits of half a mile wide. Soon after reports came in from many points in Wayne, Monroe and Lenawee counties telling of destruction to property, but no loss of life. At Romulus the big factory of the Romulus Manufacturing company was totally wrecked. At Holland the roof of the three-story brick opera-house block was lifted into the street; the heavy rain which accompanied the storm drenched the interior of the building and ruined the opera house. The April cyclone wrecked every building in Rea. The rebuilt elevator and Overmeyer's big store were demolished. At Weston Holden’s warehouse was overturned and a score of barns in the vicinity wrecked. Louisville, Ivy., May 24.—Again the wind has worked its will upon Louisville. Dwellings are ruined, streets are filled with the wreckage of roofs, with broken and uprooted trees, with remnants, walls and" twisted wires. No lives, however, are known to be lost, and few of the injuries received are serious. When the storm struck the city eight workmen under the charge of James Dadigan, night foreman at the big Louisville & Nashville roundhouse, were busy about the engines. The heavy engines were overturned like toys, but the men escaped almost miraculously from death. The damage to the building will not exceed $5,000. The damage to the engines will be less than half that amount.. Andrew Humble (colored), who lives on Shelby street, between Market and Jefferson, was struck by flying debris and seriously hurt about the body besides receiving bad wounds on hands and arms. The damage will reach $40,000.

COMMISSIONERS ACT.

Tbey Fall to Modify the Bate Adopted by the World’* Fair Directory la Favor of Sunday Opening and Thu Pave the Way for a Seven-Day Fair—Court* May Be Appealed To. Chicago, May 24.—Sunday opening of the world’s fair won a victory Tuesday before/ the national commission, and unless legal process restraining the directors from acting otherwise is resorted to the gates of the fair will be thrown open next Sunday to visitors. After the action of the commission Tuesday it was generally understood that so far as its authority is concerned it had interposed no obstacle to prevent the directors from carrying out their Sundayopening role, and world’s fair directors do not hesitate to let it be known that their Sunday-opening policy will be pursued according to their action of last week. By a vote of 31 to 27 the commission adopted the minority report of its judiciary committee. This minority report was submitted by Commissioners J. W. St. Clair and J. R. Burton and favored the rule adopted by the local directory which provided for the opening of the gates every day in the week on and after May 21. The majority report was against such adoption and was supported by Commissioners Massey, Garvin and Hundley.b At the conclusion of Col. St. Clair’s argument the minority report, approving of the rule of the directors to open the gates Sunday on and after May 21 was adopted by a vote of 31 to 27 as follows^ Yeas—Commissioner* De Young, California: Goodell, Colorado: Steam., Idaho; Ewing, Illinois; Eiboeck, Iowa; Burton, Kansas; Myers, Kentucky; Lane, Michigan; Barbour, Michigan: Sanders, Mississippi; Bullene, Missouri; Haines, Nebraska; Smith, New Jersey; Ryan, North Dakota; Groner, Virginia; Butt, West Virginia; St Clair, West Virginia; Coburn, Wisconsin; Coats, Arizona; White, New Mexico; Beeson, Oklahoma; Kiesel, Utah. Alternates—Werth, Alabama; Funk, Illinois; Le Due, Louisiana; Kurtz, Minnesota; Fish, New Jersey; Breslin, New York; Bullard, South Dakota; Cummin, W ashing ton—3l. Nays—Commissioners McDonald, California; Allen, New York; Hundley, Alabama; Clendennlng, Arkansas; Massey, Delaware; Garvin, Indiana; W. F. King, Iowa; Holliday, Kansas; Bixby, Maine; Tousley, Minnesota; Bynum, Mississippi; Hershlleld,Montana;Mitchell,Montana; Scott, Nebraska;Russell, Nevada; Rucker, North Dakota; Ritchie, Ohio; Woodside, Pennsylvania; Gutierres, New Mexico; Gammon, Oklahoma; Lunnan, Utah. Alternates—lngalls, Maine; Bernard, Florida; Sanders, Georgia; McMahon, Louisiana; Edwards, Maine; Hurt, Tennessee—27.

Then after the modification of the report had been approved it in its entirety received 29 votes for its adoption as against 28 opposing it. Then came this announcement from Acting President De Young: “Inasmuch as It requires a majority of fiftyfive members of the commission to modify a rule submitted by the local directory the chair decides that the Sunday openiug rule of the local board, not having received sufficient votes to modify it, remains operative and unchanged.’’ Commissioner Lannan at once said: “I object to this statement from the chairman. Does he mean to say that the directors can make a rule which will go in effect without the approval of the national commission? If so, I appeal from his statement.” “I desire to state again,” said the chairman, “that in accordance with the act of congress which says that the directory may make rules and the commission modify them this rule has not been modified and must stand.” After more objections from other members President De Young eliminated his remarks as to the effect of the vote and the commission adjourned. To make clear just how the Sunday opening question stands this statement is made: Last week the Chicago directory adopted a rule providing for the opening of the £ates on Sunday. This it submitted to the national commission. According to the original act of congress creating both bodies it was provided that all the rules and regulations should originate with the Chicago directory, “subject, however, to such modification, if any, as may be imposed by a majority of said commissioners.” A majority of the commission consists of fifty-five members. There were fifty-eight members in attendance Tuesday. Thirty-one voted for a slight modification of some features of the Sunday opening rule, while twenty-seven voted against the entire proposition. Inasmuch as the necessary majority of fifty-five did not vote either for or against the modification of the rule of the directory, it stands operative until sis ty-five members can be induced either to vote for it or against it. Consequently until such majority is obtained the Sunday opening rule will be in force and effect, unless the courts shall be successfully invoked to close the gates.

LYNCHING IN MICHIGAN.

Mob Hang* William Sullivan, tha Confessed Slayer of Leetch. Corunna, Mich., May 2*.— William Sullivan, the farm hand who brutally murdered his employer, Layton Leetch, and murderously assaulted the latter’s wife near Durand last January, was taken from jail by an immense mob at 9:20 o'clock Tuesday evening and lynched. Sullivan was captured in Detroit Sunday and was brought here under guard and placed in jail. When arraigned Tuesday on the charge of murder Sullivan acknowledged that he was the man wanted.

They secured the prisoner and strung him up, afterwards shooting his body full of holes.
