THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED KURTZ, . .. Editor, a SA AAA RS "CexTis Haxnr, Pa, Sgrr. 16, 1885, A TOWN LYING IN RUINS TERRIBLE OHIO. Court House Leveled to the Persons Killed, Three Hundred Injured-—Loss Over $1,000,000, Washington C. H,, Ohio, Sept. 9A tornado last ev ening "at eight o'clock al- most completely demolished this place, Not a single store facing Central square out of forty is left intact, and a majority of them are leveled. The storm came from the northwest, and broke upon the town very suddenly, carrying everything before it. The tornado whirled up Court street, the main business) thoroughfare, and ruined almost every business block in it, at ieast forty or fifty in all. Hardly a private residence in the town escape fully 400 buildings going down. The Baptist, Presbyterian and Catholic churches all suffered the common fate. The Ohio Southern, Pan Handle, Nar- row Gauge and Midland Railroad depots were blown into “smithereens,” and ey- ery building in the vicinity was car ried away, making ingress or egress al- most impossible. Every wire within a circuit of two miles is down. The report of the catastrophe was sent by a telegraph operator who tapped a wire two miles west of town, and, sitting in a heavy rain storm worked his intru- ment. The panic stricken people were taken completely unawares, and fled from the Lumbling buildings in every di- rection throagh the murkey darkness. A mad frenzy seemed to seize the peo- ple, and they hurried hither and thither inn their wild distraction, little knowing whither they were fleeing. After the whirlwind, which lasted about ten mia- utes, a heay ry rain set in, which contin- ued unabated thronghout the night. The Sheriff ordered out the militia, which took charge and helped get order out of chaos. All the gas wont out when the storm came up, The gas works were destroy- ed. Bon fires had to be burnt in the streets to give light for the searchers, One of the injured i8 the manager of the Telephone Exchange. He was hurled across the street and had an arm, leg and collar bone broken. Some houses were lifted up and carried bodily several hun~ dred feet, As soon as a few of the cooler heads recovered their genses, searching parties were organized and the sad work of look- ing for the dead began. The glimmer of lanterns, procured “trom farm houses in the vicinity and from the few houses left sta: DESTRUCTION IN A TORNADOS Washington Farth~ Five nding, was the oniy light they had to work by, Two or taree bodies were siumbled upon in the middle of the street, where they were stricken down byiflying bricks or timbers. The cellars of bonses and every sort of refuge were filled with shivering people, huddled to~ gether in the vain attempt to keep warm. One babe in arms died from ex- yosure.

BAG APRA HAASAN PROOF OF DEATH. burming If most people are afraid of anything, it is of being buried alive. That cases do happen where it is very diflieult oven for the experienced physician to deter- mine whetlior a person is really or but apparently dead, without his having recourse to means whieh, while they would at once settie the dispute, would pines life, if it really still existed, in jeopardy, may be judged from the fact that the Freuch Academy, somo fen or fifteen years ago, offered a prize of forty thousand finnes for the discovery of some means by which even the inexperi- enced may at once determine whether in a given case death had ensued or not. A physician obtained the prize. He had discovered the following well-known phenomenon: If the hand of the sus. pected person is held toward the candle or other artificial light, with the fingors strotehod, and one touching the other, and one looks through the spaces be- tween the fingers toward the light, there supears & soarlet red color where the fingers fouch each other, due to the still cirenlating @uid blood, as it shows itself through the transparent, not yet congested tissues; but when life is ex- tinot this phenomenont ad onces ceases. The most extensive and thorough trials established the truth of this observation, and the prize was awarded to is discov. ayer.
