without abatement until Monday night.
After a month or almost continuous ilreutli,
which linil well-nigh ruined tlie growing

Tliore is no deutit that hundreds If net

Many or the hall-cut Holds are se badly

plowed down te enrich the soil or nioweil oil
and carried te the manure pile. Kields net

Transactions In old tobaccos during the
week were fair. A few hundred cases
were sold at slightly advanced price,

The commissioner of internal revenue has
issued the following circular te collectors In
regard te certain Irregular methods of cigar
manufacturers in nfllxlug stamps te cigar
tecs, etc.;
It Is represented te this ofllce that cigar
manufacturers in many colledion districts
have boceniooxtiomoly lax In thelr methods
of ntllxlng ami cancelling cigar stamps. One
of the prevalent irregularities is leuiitl In
the method of affixing the stamp. It is
placed se cIdmi te the end or slde el the six
waved lines for cancellation In the manner
nrcscrlbed by this ofllce, under the authority
conferred by law (section .1,110 Revised
statutes, as umemled) that is, the waved
lines cannot be made te " extend at least
three-quarters or an Inch beyond each slde
of the stamp en the box (series 7, Ne.
8,025.)
Anether inegularlty Is leuml in tlie "cau
tion notice." In many cases the name of the
state In which the cigars wero manufjQtured
issoebscuroly printed that iteau with diffi
culty be licciphered. This practice seems te
be se general with the cigar manufacturers of
-nl-leasloue state as te justify the conclusion
that a deliberate piirose exlsts In seme
quarters te ovade the requirements of law
hi this respect. Upen receipt of this
circular you will nt ence mnke requisition
for n stililcient number or copies te enable
you te supply each cigar manufacturer In
veur collection district with a copy, se as that
if there are among them any who Ittdulge in
the irregular methods pointed out the
nractice may be liumctllntelv discontinued.
Should this warning be disregarded seizin es
will be ordered for cigars found en the
market with stamps net properly atllxcd and

Iturlng the heavy pour or rain en Monday
the vicinity or riillndelphla was vlslted by
the phenomenon of n tornado or pyclone of
tcrrille roree, leaving a train of disasters in
the legion through Mhlch It marked Its
course. Its presence was made known In
the city by the almost completo demolition
el the river steamer Majer Iteylwld, which
had loll Its moorings at Arch street wharf at
lluee o'clock en Its dally afternoon trip te
Ponnsgrevo and Salem. The cyclene moved
iu nn uncertain path, and illsapponred as
mystorleusly as It came, leaving In Its track
a series of calamine ami destruction
such as were nover known In the nelglilKr-i
heed of l'hllndelphla te ecjur rrem the vli
lonceof the wind.
The cyclene was first obscived advancing
at a marveleusly rapid rale across the Dola Dela
waro rlver fiein Orcenwlch l'elut. It looked
first like n dark rain cloud, from which n
heavy rain was pouring upon the earth se
donse thatoverythlng around it looked black.
Dark clouds wero nppreachlug at the same
tlme from the southeast, and at a point di
rectly ever the tools or a ntimber or frame
buildings en the property of the Pennsylva
nia salt manufacturing company at (Ireen
whlch Point, the rain column ami the clouds
rrem the southwest scorned te meeU Im
mediately tlie bill column heiMii te whirl
with a frightful olecity, accetnpanled by the
rear of a huirlcaun that could be heurd In the
distance. Buildings at tlie salt works were
demolished iu the space el a minute, and
fragments el them ami eeu whele reefs
wero carried high Iu the nlr and scattered In
n northeasterly direction towards Kalghu'n
Point, Cnmileu, catching In Its train at an
unlucky mnmeut the steamboat Majer Hoy Hey
bold, and spreading havoc ami devastation
eer the decks or the steatner In a way that
could net haye been mero cemplete if it had
been raked with the lire of cannon. Old
river men who witnessed theslght said they
never saw anything le equal It iu their lives.
It is nlinestn miracle that the less or only
ene life Is te be recorded lq the disaster te
the steamer. I'lve persons wero mero or
less soverely injured. The sweeping demon
iu the air whirled along te the banks of the
Jersey Hhere, anil overywhere havoc, ruin
antl devastation were strewn In its path.
Houses were demolished, trees carried iu the
air, antl property tlestreyed. At least three
persons lest their lives, eight were injured,
anil ene missing.
The cyclene kept along the Jersoy slde or
the river until it reached n point oppeslto
Pert Richmond. Here It swept across the
stream again, driving vesels from their
moorings, unroeting houses, demolishing
bulldiiu.'s, lesttltliig in the les.s of one lile
nml the injury or sixteen persens. All the
work or ruin along the length anil breadth or
the cvclone's track was all dene nreliablv In
Hhe Bjtace of quarter or nn hour. There
wen no mm at tue time; ami emy.it up,iu

The rush of tlie cyclene wiw estimated la
be 50t) feet Wide. Its appearance was that of
a donse black cloud revolving at a terrltlq
rate. In the heart of It the gloom wan like
the darkness of midnight, ami eye wIIihjmmw

net see thelr liandx Iwfore thelr faces. The
liotlem e,t it mevctl ever the river llke a roll

the wind can only Ira imagined from the
visible evidences of Its destruction, antl Its
power seemed te Ikj almost supernatural. In
tlie recollection et no-eno In-the-clty hast a
phenomenon et such character and ruinous
results ever isitetl the neighborhood of
Philadelphia, and by theso whp wero victims

the cyclene passed, a heavy rain tnrm set

Captain Uugcne Hoybeld, or the steamer
Majer Hoybeld, gives the following thrilling
story or the torrlble Incident: "I mw,"s.i!d
he, "llie heavy black cloud as it was coming
up rrem around Oreenw Ich Point. It looked
as black as Ink, ami 1 Icll that we were In
danger. The rain had ceased, but the sky
was overcast and heavy. Fer a moment
there was a pilnful stillness In the nlr. I
steed in the pilot-heuso with the pilot, Km Km
ery Townsend, and we both manned the
wheel. When 1 saw the cyclene strike the
salt wers I cried out : 'Shut down the win
dows and held te the whcel.' Thowindewa
wero closed in a twinkling. A moment later
I heard the treniondeus nolse of the np np
peoachlug destruction. It was llke the
shrloklngsefn million unearthly spirits, and
was accompanied by a rumbling nolse llke
distant but heavy peals of thunder. As w ell
as I tun roinember the cloud was the shape or
an Inverted cone, with the apex resting Just
ujieii the water's edge, but did net, as would
have liecn supposed, lash the water nt nil.
It appeared te strlke the vessel with two
successive shocks, the ene following the
ether us quick us thought. The first shock
blew the windows out and shook the vessel
as it she hail been struck by a broadside of
llftv-nounders. Tlie pilot cried eut: 'We
are lest 1' ami I thought se, tee. The air was
black as midnight, antl It would have been
Impossible te have seen one's hand nn inch
belore his eyes. The second shock twisted
the pllot-heuso oil' as II it had U'cn a tissue-
paper piayiumg, nun i nenrti neiuiug except
the thunder el' the whirling wind, and I
knew nothing for sevcral seconds, when I
found myselr deep down hi the water, but
clutching fast held or the whcel, which ap
peared te have liecn hurled by a great lorce
Iromnbeio into boltemless depths. Soen I
began te rise, and befere long was alsive the
water's surface. The cyclone hail passed,
but a portion or the debris or the steamboat
sti tick me en the head and I went down
again, bull succeeded in gelling te the stir
face ngalu nml en the pilot-house, from
which, mero dead than alive, 1 mistaken by
a passing tug which had seen the catastrephe
from n distance." . .
Captain Hoybeld was severely weuntieu
nbnut the face nnd hands, but U net serloiiB serleiiB serloiiB
lvlniured. He gays that thelast horeiucm-
bers et the ill-tateil pilot was tlie appearance
or his whlte taco Just befere the llrst shock
was lelt anil the pitchy darkness cune en.
It is prebable that the pilot, who was a
vigorous man and an expert swimmer was
struck by seme of the dying debris nnd
stunned or killed outright. Nothing has
been seen et his body slnce the tils? ter, and
there is no doubt that he Is dead. He was a
married man, 2S years old, living at Salem,
and leaves, besides his wire, two small
children.
When the Majer Bin-bold lea Arch street

jussoiigers, although ns no tickets had been
sold up te the tlme of the accident, it Is im
possible te ascertain the esaet number.
There wero also about fourteen elllcers and

buildings which had been unroofed or tils
man tied wero Heeded, the furniture either
ruined or damaged, anil in ninny Instances
the ilwollers driven te seek ethor places of
shelter. Tiie streets In llie track of the storm
wero strewn with the roers or heuses, rallen
trces, wrecked nwnlngs and ethor tlebrls.
The cars or the stroet railway company wero
blocked Ter hours.
The pcopleof Camden all tell the same
story or the rum bio, llke the rattling or a
train or heavy wagons ever the paved stroebt,
that accompanletl the cyclene. Befere 11 the
air was fllled with Hying debris, antl pcople
seeing the awful sight lied in terror by the
hundreds le thelr cellars. The cyclene
lasted between four and flve minutes, and
was marked with torrllle pulls and rears. It
Is a slmmlar fact that Hat-reefed houses
suH'ored the most. The wind, with llie
greatest ease, catching thorn under the
cornices llftetl them ns though they
wero sheets of ipcr. There was hardly
an Instance whero n mansard rner
building was wrecked. Se great Was the
vlolenco or the wind tliAt tlie fronts anil sides
of houses and bulk-windows wero mashed
In os though they were egg shells. Hoefs
wero carried hundreds of yards away. One
or the saddest features of the great storm was
the goneral destruction of shatle trees. They
wero mewed down UWe platoons or soldiery
nn a battlo-Held. Oreat menster trecs that
had steed the storms ler yeam wero uproetod
or broken eir llke plpo-stems. The ccccntrl
cities of the wind could be scen en every
side. Buildings which it would seem that
an ordinary storm would demolish, and
which wero iu the tllrect path of the cyclone,
were spared, whlle thelr noluhbers, modern
structures or brick, would be gutted or
wrecked outright.

across the Delaware river, crossing tlie lower

the l'ert Hlchmend coal wharves, rrem
which point it carried destruction In Its
northward path for nearly a mile, the Hwarlli
cut by lis resistless power being about 100
feet iu width. Tlie ceurse follewod wa,s,

the awful black cone swayed new ene way,

ami sheds antl filling the darkened nlr with
great fragments of tin and weed, and even
sections or masonry, that whliled about as
though they were se ninny bits or jiapcr.
The inhabitants or the devastatctV district
had llttle warnlnger thocieleno'H approach

until, with a wild unearthly rear, it burst
upon their dwellings antl Hhattered theiu ns

through which the torrlble column tore Its

Internally injured. She was taken te the

she was net seriously hurt
The remains nf I.lzzle wero found near her

which lay across her breast But even Ifshe

The llttle boy Jehu and his sister Hannah
escaped with only a few bruises.
Tlie eldest daughter, Annie, was thelast te

tlebrls supporting the reef, and It was neces

uniortuuate girl from her peril. When, at

nt the sunrlse that It was Itnposslble
te discern cither the eottage or lis iminodlate
surrounding irem the veranda or the hotel.
A brisk wind front the Seuth seen sprung
up, hewever, antl played havoc with the
sullon-leokmg clouds that llugored around
the horizon and obscured the dawning or the
day appointed for the removal or the ro re
mnlns or the illustrious dead.

hardly had thelr echoes died away when the

An i:xlcnilci! i:ulesy of General (rant's l'nlillc
ScnlrcM and rrliate Vhaniclcr.
ltev. Dr. Newman's sermon In full, which
has been sent te the 1nti:i,i.I(ii;.nckp by the
United Press, would occupy sevcu ei eight
columns of this journal. Interesting as the
tliome was antl great a tiu the occasion,
the address wis net worthy et It jier or re
production, complete, here. The lext was the
words from,MAtthew, xxv., 21: "Well done,
thou geed aud. laithful son aut, enter thou
icte the Jey efthy TiOrd."
He proposed te consider net se much the
fstne anil high distinction of the dead as
" what heis, In his modes of thought, in his
emoUenal being, in the trend of liLsJnsalrns,
in the teinper efhlb mind, in the ioner oi"hhi ei"hhi oi"hhi
llfe, out of wliloiicemo tlie totality of hlsox hlsex hlsox
Lslenco and tlie finality c,t his destiny.'"
" Some cemrade in arms shall speak of the
splendor of h Is tnarUal cenlus ; some states
man shall re view the majesty ei his civil ad
ministration ; seme historians shall plnde
him en the lettesL-il of his renown ; but let
me, as the minister or religion, dwell jipen
that great character which will ever be his
crown or glory mid the Impcilslmhloherit Impcilslmhleherit Impcilslmhloherit
age of thocetintry he loved se well."
The oration or soriueu was a rather bom
bastic dlscourse throughout, the following
extract being a sample paragraph or the
preacher's style : " Shall we Inquire why the
land Is tilled with lamentation from the
savannas or the Seuth te the snow-capped
hills el the North, and from whero the
Atlantic means along iti ancient coast
te whero thu Pacific sobs en Its golden
shore; why poets lament, orators doplero,
editors deprecate and ministers turn te tlie
Unseen for consolation ; w by kingdoms nnd
empires nnd repuhllcs stand with our great
nation ns chief mourners around tills bier I
Who Is dead? Oh! yoTjebblug winds of
Mt. McGregor that fanned his brew, tell it
net Whisper It net, ye mountain pines that
shaded his lerm. And keep ye silent OJ
ye stimmer skies of leve and beauty that
smiled upon him."
Tin: eun'ilw tip common sr.Nsr-
In eulogizing the predominant trails of
Grant's character he aiiil : "Ills was the
genius or the common sense, enabling him
te coutemplate all things In their true rela
tions, judging what is true, usclul, proper,
expedient, and te adept the best means te
accomplish the largestends. Frem this came
his seriousness, theughtfulucss, penetration,
discoiieornment, firmness, enthusiasm, tri
umph." Though a matchless general, the eulogist
thought he hated war. He looked tireu It as
u ghastly monster whose march is te the
music of the widow's sighs and the orphan'
cry. He loved poace ami pursued t
" Illesscd are the peacemakers, ler limy shall
be called the children or Ged," was his beat
itude In his Londen speech In 1HT7, he
Haiti "Although a soldler by education and
profession, I have never Velt any sort of
lendncs ler war, aud I have nover advo
cated it oxcept as a means of peace."
This was the energy el his courage.
In his dying chamber, he grasped llie hand
of him w hnse sword was the first he had wen
and said : " 1 have witnessed since my sick
ness Just what I wished te see evor slnce the
war, harmony and uoetl feellug between the
sections." On Hely Faster, he sent forth
this tonder message : " I deslre the geed
will of all, whother hitherto my friends or
net" Hiswas thosengof the ongels: "On
earth peace, geed will toward men."
The orator extelled his administration el
civil ofllce as second only In brilliancy and
wisdom, in greatness aud boneficonco, te his
management et armies, antl forecastthat gen
erations may pass from the vision ef-the
world ere the true aud full estlmate of his
lelitical worth shall be dotermlncd. Then,
lis administration of eight years will recolve
the calm consideration and just approval of
liis countrymen.

the camp has proved ruinous te the morals or
the greatest of warriors. The excitement of
a life tloveted te arms, the scenes et excess
and plunder te which a soldier is oxpesod,
the iibscnce of the restraints of home and
church, tend te the worst of passions and te
the corruption et me nest meruis. uut here
iu the presence of the dead, whose ears are
forevor deaf te our praise or consure, let it be
eurgratcful duty te record that after five years
in camp and field, he returned te his home
wiuieut a stain upon ins character. Among
ancient or niodern warriors whero shall we
find his superior In moral elovatieii I Given
te no excess himself, he sternly rebuked It
in ethers. He assured me, as ids pastor, that
woie he disposed te swear he would be com
pelled te iuse te phrase the sentence. Such
was the purity of his thought lire that he has
been seen te blush and withdraw from the
companionship et theso who had presumed
te relate a salacious story Iu his presence."
Hlsjustlce, gentleness, gratitude, humility
aud unselfishness wero depleted and the
prcacher recalled the louder ami constant
friendship of Grant, nnd Sherman, and Sheri
dan. They wero as ene man. They acted
Without nnxlety. There was In theni a con
currence of thought, motive mid aim, born of
