Rheumatism,
BEING duo to tho presence of uric
acltl In tho blood, Is most effectually
cured by tho uso of Aycr's Sursapn
rlllii. Ho sure you get Aycr's and no
other, and tako it till tho poisonous
acid Is thoroughly expelled from the
system. Wo challenge attention to this
testimony :
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
out, being able to walk only with great
iscomfort, and having tried various
remedies, inrluillng mineral waters,
without relief, I saw by an advertise
ment in a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of tills distressing com
plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Karsaparillii. I then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to stato that It has effected a
complete cure. I have since had no re
turn of the. disease." Mrs. It. Irving
Dodge, 110 West 123th bt., New York.
"One year ngo I was taken ill with
Inflammatory rheumatism, being con
fined to my house six months. I came
out of the sickness very much debili
tated, with no appetite, and lny system
disordered In every wav. I commenced
using Aycr's Sarsaparilia and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength
anil soon recovering my usual health.
I cannot say too much in praise of this
well-known medicine." Mrs. L. A.

Tht Numlier of Victim. IIr. Not Raaetieil
One Huit'lreil Thus Tar lHsfflnK fur
the Dead In the Ilelirla l ire Adds to
the Horror Harrowing Scene.
Louisville, March 31, if possible, the
throng, of sightseers were oven larger tlinn
the day previous, when tho woftil spectaclo
was first unfolded to tho light of day In nil
ita hideousuc8s. Early trains brought hun
dreds of curious visitors and agents of relief
from neighboring cities mid towntto swell
the multitude ot thoso who wended with a
local interest toward the scene, and the
guards had much dlfllculty in maintaining
their lines ognlnst the pressure. All night
long tho March parties continued their
labors, and tho sound of rattling wagons
rose out of every street. Carpenters and
tinners worked like beavers the whole day
trying to repair broken roofs and strengthen
dangerously weakened walls, (lalig. of line
men were getting the taugled and broken
wlrca of the telephone and tolegraph out of
the way for further repairs.
Funernl Hells Tolling.
Meanwhile the solemn tolling ot church
bells, the frequent passage of laden honrges
and long lines of funeral carriages gave
note to the hurrying crowd that the torna
do's victims were passing to their last rest
ing places.
Careful estimates by competent under
writers and Balvege agents are nearly agreed
that the damage to buildings of all classos,
to domestic goods nnd commercial stocks
will aggregate close to IS.fiOO.tlOO, with a
liberal allowance for rebuilding repairs.
Nlnety.fniir Dead.
The main point of comforting thought Is
that tho loss of life will not prove nearly so
great as at first supposed. At a late hour
lost night ninety-four names were borne on
the list of dead, and of these but three were
taken from the ruins during the day.
Hurvlna the Dead.
The work of burying tho dead went on
with ghastly systematic briskness Sunday,
and oil of the hearses In tho city were tnxed
to their utmost. One procession contained
Ave hearses conveying the bodies of the un
fortunate laundry girls Maggie McClure,
Mary Ryan, Uridget Crow, Maggie Cainp-
wu biiu iuary iucuiniy wnose luneralserv
lces were held at the cathedral at the same
time.
Carriage. 910 per Hoar.
Humboldt lodge, I. O. O. F., remained at
Cave Hill cemetery during the afternoon,
and received one at a time the funeral pro
cessions of the ten members of that frater
nity killed at the Falls City halt. The burials
with the ritual services of tho order, occurred
at half-hour Intervals. Bo urgent were the
demands on the undertakers that as a rule
but two hacks were allowed to each funeral.
Even with this arrangement the facilities
were Inadequate and the street cars, via
Green street and Baxter avenue to theceme
tery, were called Into requisition as a more
rapid means of funeral conveyances.
Twenty-four funeral processions passed out
Broadway during the day en route to Cave
Hill. The funeral of Rev. Dr. Barnwell,
pastor of St. John's Episcopal church, took
place at noon. Ills son, Dudley Barnwell,
was burled at the same time. The owners
of carriages and hacks raised their charges
to $10 per hour for the use ot their vehicles
and, as a consequence, all the carriages
available In Jefferson villa and New Albany
were brought to this city.
Some ot the colored people, and the poorer
of the unfortunate families, were forced to
use express and transfer wagons.
All Thursday evening a storm had been
gathering and the lightning and thunder
were ominous. At about 8 o'clock it began
to rain and the storm gradually Increased
In intensity. The rain changed to hail and
people kept within doors. The signal serv
ice in the afternoon predicted n cyclone, but
no one thought It would strike Louisville.
At UiSS the disaster came. The heavens were
black as Ink. There was a deep, threatening
roar as the cyclone struck the southwestern
portion of the city. Then the buildings were
crushed like egg shells and a broad swath of '
devastation was the result
An Hour of Awrul Suspense.
Only a few minutes elapsed after the
burst of the cyclone when the police and
firemen were at work upon tho ruins of
Falls' City hall. It was dilllcult to clear the
ruin of women who were found digging at
the slate roof with their Angers crazed at
the groans beneath each of which they
thought ascended from their dying. After
an hour of ceaseless labor tho.flrst victim,
Mrs. Sarah Kelly, was unearthed. Her
body was found sitting In an upright posi
tion, her head bruised and one arm broken
She said at the first quake a mad rush was
made for the entrance.
Women Trampled Under Font.
Women were knocked down nnd trampled
on In their mad haste to escape. Seeing the
overwhelming jam at the door several re
mained behind. She says the last she saw
ot her friends was just before tho floor gave
way and the celling fell. None of those
whom Mrs. Kelly said were near her could
be found. The workmen were then moved
from the rear of the building to the front.
As soon as the rooting and the mass of
brick beneath hod been removed, ten women
locked tn each other's arms were taken from
the debris.
fib Died In HI. Arms.
Mr. James Hasson, whoso wife had at
tended the lodge meeting, was foremost
among the searchers, uud the first person he
drew out of the ruins was his wife, who died
In his arms. He laid her by the tide ut the
other dead and continued his suarch for the
living. Thirty men and women were taken
out dead In the next hour, but no wounds
wore found on their bodies, und It is believed
all were eutlocated. The gas plive had been
broken, causing the lights to go out and sav
ing the ruins from fire for the time, but fill
ing the debris with the deadly vapor. The
breast of the ruins was pierced and the dead
and dying taken out. One part ot the build
ing was reserved for the dead, and the
wounded were taken into the stores and
houses on the oprioslte side of the street,
where physicians uud priests did what they
oould to alleviate their sufferings.
Nat K Single HullilluB Standing.
Not a single building was left standing in
the path of the storm on Main street from
Seventh to Eleventh streets. Occasionally
a massive Iron or stone front still stood in
tact, while the entlra structure proper had
been swept away. The tobacco market, on
which the city prided ltselt, lay in the path
of the storm, and the warehouses almost to
the last one are In rulus. Among those de
stroyed are the Kentucky, Pickett's, Ninth
Street, Falls' City, I'hteulx, Oreeu Hlver,
Louisville, Enterprise, Central and Plant
ers', The destruction ot the Louisville and
Ninth Street warehouses could not have
been more complete.
l ire Adds to the Horror.
At 13 o'clock the opening up of a portion
ot the debris of Falls' City hall caused a
draught to penetrate the ruins, whereupon
the smoldering fire broke oat with tremen
dous fierceness. It spread rapidly and
forced the workers to desert the pile. As
soon as the fire gained headway the groans
ot the imprisoned people became shrieks,
and so great was the horror of the momeut
that the watchers were frantlo and screamed
and ran about like wild, the terrible suffer
ings which they were unable to alleviate
driving them to despair.
Several Hues of hose were soon throwing
water on the flames, but It was more than
an hour before the work could be proceeded
with, and then It was carried on with much
more difficulty than before on account of
the heat. Up to 13 o'clock ouly thirty-five
dead bodies and twenty-five wouudsd and
dying had been taken from the wreck.
Ills Wife and Children were There.
At about I) 30 o'clock the room where the
children were danclug was reached. Mr.
Louis Blmnu, of 1,134 Market street, hid for
hours beeu moving about in an agony of
grief iu front of that portion ot the wreck
where this room had tieeu, for his wife and
four little children were there. When the
room was reached Mrs. Hluinu was the first
one found, and she was fatally hurt. Then
within ten minutes ot each other three ot the
Ulmuis children were recovered. They were
unconscious, and tbert U wlw faint rjoaJ-
nmtj mm tney win nvo. vrnne tne rumor
was Imploring the workers to get his ether
child lire broke out nnd work was suspend
ed. The liistinati takcu.out alive before ths
flames started was John Itcpden, of 2,103
West Broadway.
SCENES OF HonnoR.
I'athetlo Incidents In the Track of the
Storm King.
Louisville, Ky., March '.".). One of the
harrowing Incidents of the disaster was ths
killing of the Rev. Stephen E. llnriiwell,
rector of St. John's Episcopal church, and
his young son, Dudloy. Mrs. Barnwell was
so badly hurt that she may die. KU John's
Episcopal church, adjoining the double
houvo, was shattered throughout, and noth
ing but a mass of bricks and splintered
beams Is left to tell tho talo. The rectory was
next to this, and here the beloved rector met
his nu f ul death, side by slda with his child.
He was with his family reading when the
death crash ended his useful life, and from
his (Kisltlon when found must havo been
killed Instantly. His head was horribly
crushed, his chest caved In and his whole
body bruised. His beautiful boy, who wat
evidently sitting at his father's knee, was
killed by a terrlblo fracture of tho skull and
was also torn and mangled.
Tate nf tho Laundry Girls.
The laundry girls of the Louisville hotel
who were klllod, roomed on Main street,
next to the hotel. As the storm came with
out warning, those confined had no time to
escape. The walls tell with a crush and the
screams of the girls could lie plaluly heard
above tho roar of the storm and the falling
debris. Mary Crowe and Mary Furrall es
caped and the rest wore burled beneath the
ruins. Olllcers John Tully and Joe Baldwin
heard the piteous appeals of a woman's voice
beneath the ruins. Both set to work ami In
a short time the body of a niau was discov
ered, who proved to lw Hon. T. Henry
Mason, of Hawesvllle. The foot and hand
of another ware also uncovered.
Itescued, ltevolver In Hand.
A man's voice Was heard In a comer and
a light showed the scarred face of Virgil
Wright. He was penned in with a mass of
bricks nnd mortar. In his hand ha held a
pistol, with which he was trying to end his
Bufferings. His arm was so badly bruised,
however, that ho was unable to pull the
trigger, and he was rescued quite badly
wounded, but was ablo to walk.
ODDITIES OF THE CYCLONE.
Miraculous Stories from I.nuUvllle lie.
rifled I.l.t of the lleud.
LOUIHV1I.LK, Ky., April 2. There are bun
dredsof the most interesting and miraculous
incidents counected with the tornado, show
ing the queerest sort of freaks of the wind.
A block of Iron casting weighing over 150
pounds was blown Into the socond story of
the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southern railway
building near the Union depot. Nobody
knows where It came from, and the nearest
building from which It could have come is
nearly 100 yards away. Great sheets of Iron
roofing were dropped upon Dr. Barry's
farm, near Turner's Station, forty miles
from the city, on the Short line. In the
ruins of a house on West Main street a clock
was found clinging to the wall. It was a
largo ofiice clock, but no one in tho vicinity
had ever seen it before and no one knows
where it came from. It was badly broken,
but the hands still pointed to Si'JO p, m. A
large slab of marble was found in a resi
dence on Madison street which was never
Uiere before. It will neigh over 100 pounds'
At Baird's drug store on Market, above
Ninth two bird cages with the birds wero
blown In through the skylight. The cages
were not injured and the birds are as full of
song as ever. When the building occupiod
by Brand & Bethel, the tobacco men, on
Oreen street, went to pieces a portion of tho
frame work dropjied through the roof of a
little cottage just east of the factory. It
consisted of a heavy timber, to which were
mortised four upright pieces of timber.
When this came through the cottage the
family wero sitting around the table iu the
dining room, and the four uprights simply
pinned them in, but did not hurt them iu
the least. It was one of tho most wonderful
ebcaiws yet heard of.
Below will be found a list of the seventy
seven deed according to the count of the
coroner:
