The calamity at Leuisville was net at
tended by the less of life reported en
Friday. I.ate Friday night the estimated
number of victims was about 75.
A track, about -100 yards wide and tbroe
miles in length, in the resldeuoe and busi
ness portion of the city, w us devastated.
Immediately upon the burst of the
cyclone the tire bells sounded and the
police wero at work. Within ten minutes
a, posse appeared at the Fulls City linll
wreck. 'I he walls of the adjoining hoii3e
were lirst prepped and then begun the work
of cutting through the heavy slate root that
covered all.
At first work was dlfllcult and luborleu-t
en account of the anxious multitude that
thronged tbe wreck. Ditllcult was the
task te clear the ruin of women, who were
found dlggingal the Male with their lingers.
crax9d at the groans beneath, each of which
they thought ascended from tltelr dying.
Every one did noble work.
After an hour of ceaseless labor the first
victim. Mrs. Sarah Kelly, was unearthed.
Her body was found sitting In an upright
position, iter head bruised and unit broken.
She said at the first qutike a mail rush wus
made for the entrance. Women w ere
knocked down and trampled en ill the
mad haste te escape. .Seeing the over
whelming Jam at the deer, several 10
malned behind. The List she saw of her
friends was just befere the fleer gae way
and the ceiling full.
Tbe work wus continued, but none of
these whom Mm. Kelly said were near her
could be found.
The excaatien was then moved from
the rearxif the building te the front, uhcre
it was kupK)ed the greater crowd wus
gatberel. Ah seen us the reefing was
removed, and the mass of brick beneath,
the first luht that met the eyes was any
tWug but hopeful.
Ten women, locked in each ether's arms,
were drawn out nrthe debris. Mr. James
Unssen, whose wife had heen ul the lodj;e
morning, was foremost in tbe work, and the
first person whom he draw nut Hm
ruined building was his wife, who died iu

hlaarms. He laid her by tbe aide of ihe
ethers who were dead, and continued te
Werk for tbe living.
Inside of the nest hour thirty men and
wemen were drawn out dead, but with no
wounds en, their bodies, and It ia thought
all met their death from suffocation.
The gas plpee had broken, which caused
the lights te go out, and which saved the
ruins from fire for the time, but flooded
the debris with a vapor a) most as deadly as
the fire might have proven. Wave were
pierced Inte the breast of the ruin aud
bodies drawn out dead and dying. One
Sart of tbe building was reserved for the
ead, but the wounded were taken into the
stores and houses en the opposite side of
the street, where physicians and priests
administered te souls and bodies.
At neon en Friday the opening up of a
portion of the debris of the Falls City hall
caused a draught te penetrate the ruins,
whereupon the smeuldering fire broke out
with tremendous fierceness. It spread
rapidly and forced I he workers te
desert the pile. As seen as the lire gained
headway the groans of the imprisoned
people became shrieks, and se great was
the horror of tbe moment that the watchers
grew frantic and screamed and ran about
like wild, the terrible suffering which they
wero unable te alleviate driving them te
desjnlr. Several lines of hose wero seen
throwing water en the flames, but It was
mere than an hour before work could be
proceeded with, and then it was carried
en with much fllfllculty en account of the
beat.
Up te neon only about 35 dead bodies
and 25 wounded and dying wero taken
from tbe wreck. The corpses wero laid in
the various houses across the street. One
man said he was looking for Leuis Llpp,
and the very first sheet lifted revealed the
corpse of the person wanted. Tbe mau
cevered his face, groaned, and would have
fallen bad he net been sustained.
About 11:30 the room whero the children
were dancing was reached. Mr. Ixmls
Simins, jr., bad for hours been moving
about in agony of grief in front of that
portion of the wreck where his room had
been, for hiswlfe and four llttle children
were there. When the room was reached
Mrs. Simms was the first ene found, and
she was fatally hurt. Then, within about
15 minutes of each ether, three of the
Slmms children were recovered. They
were unconscious, and tbere is only a faint
possibility of their living. While the
father was Imploring the workers te get
bis ether child, fire broke out and work
was suspended, The last man taken out
allve before tbe flames started was Jehn
Hepden, and lust previous te that a woman
who was unable te give her name was re
covered. a thrilling experience.
A thrilling exporlenco was that of Mr.
Geerge II. Caplte, who was present at tbe
meeting of Jewel Ledgo, Ne. 2, Knights
and Ladles of Hener, In their ledgo room
en the ten fleer of tbe Falls City hall, when
the building collapsed under tbe torrible
Impact of the cyclone. He says: "The
first intimation of danger we iiad were
two distinct reckings of tbe building, about
which tlme a dermer window in the ledge
room was blown from its casings, and,
immediately after, tbe plastering began te
drop from the celling. A wild rush was
made for the ante-room, whicb carried
me with it, and I had just reached
the deer when the entire fleer gave
way and we wero precipitated te the base
ment, blinded and almost suffocated by a
cloud of dust, and crushed and Jammed by
"iUlr.g timbers. In some way the deer
frame fell with me ml ss-intalned an up
right position when It stepped, and I was
enabled te extricate myself from the debris
nud make an exit te the street through an
adjoining house, whose doers I kicked in.
Meanwhile the shrieks and groans of these
still imprisoned by the wreck formed a cho
rus that, in connection with ttte howling
storm, made my very heart sick. I was,
se far us hasty examination went, com
paratively uninjured, and at once roturned
ever the ruins with several men te the rear
of the place and extinguished a flre that
had begun te blaze flercely. By this tlme
tbe rain was falling in terrents, and it was
dlfllcult for thosewhohad gathered from
the neighborhood, or who bad been as
lucky as I was te escatxs with life, te loll
whero te begin the work of rescue.
" Tbe vivid lightning flashes only gave
momentary views of the position nf the
ruins, and blinded everybody. Among
tbose whom I saw and recognized as hav
ing escaped from Jewel ledgo I can nume
only ene, Mrs. Lizzle Walters, the treasurer
of tbe ledgo, who was covered with dust,
dronched by tbe storm and well nigh dis
tracted by the prebable fatoef her uged
father, who had attended tbe ledgo meeting
with her and was still in tbe ruins.
"Tbe entire building collupsed in front
and rear, and of the east and west side
walls nothing was standing above the
second story. There were nearly a hundred
members present at our ledge meeting, as
several candidates were up for initiation.
"Fully two-thirds of theso there were
ladles. Bosldes our ledgo another erder
was holding a meeting en tbe same fleer
with us. A German band was rehearsing
en the second fleer, and a party of deco
rators were at work In the large hall en the
tirstfloer,proparing for someontortalnment.
Se far as I could Judge, when I succeeded
In escaping, thore were less than a dozen,
all told, who get out unhurt, and the cries
for help and groans that issued from the
broken and twlsted heap were proof that
scores were still there unable te escape. "
AWFUL bCENKS.
The work of rescuing tbe mangled dead
gees bravely en. A hundred anxious men
work as tbey never worked botero for the
bodies of their wives, fathers, mothers,
brothers, sister?, that lie buried iu the
shapeless mass of brick and mortar that
covers tbe site of Kails City ball. Tbe cries
of men, women und children rend tbe air
en every side. A surging crowd of 10,000
people block the the streets for squares
about the scene of catastrophe. Five
hundred men stand by the wreck dazed
and helpless, tee weak or tee lazy te lend a
holding hand te the brave squad of ros res ros
cuers. It is a sight te strike angush te the
soul of the bravest. Words are powerless
te express tbe awful scenes that each suc
ceeding minute rolls through theghatly
panorama. Bid'e-, mangled and shape shapo
less beyend recognition, are beingdragged
from beneath the ruins ove'y few minutes.
Men, wemen and children linger about the

lest they rocegnlzo In the shaplcss mass of

The storm seemed only te have swept up
Broadway from Fifteenth te Ninth, but
nearly all the heuses between theso streets
und en the intersections of streets were
demolished. Most of the cottages, hew-
evor, and low irame buildings escaped
without serious Injury.
Frem Fifteenth te Sixteenth are mostly
small frame houses, occupied by colored
families. The reefs wero tern off, but het
a great amount of damage was done aud
nene of tbe occupants wero hurt. Frem
Sixteenth down te Nlnotecnth, however,
the destruction was terrible. Mr. 1'cter
Speeth and family, who iive at 1,003, wero
quietly seated iu their parlor wheu the
storm burst with all its fury. The build
ing swayed and totterod, and finally the
walls of the second story reeled and lull
with a crash. All of the family remained
huddled in the hallway and cscaped with
out injury. The furniture and the build
ing w ero destroyed and the total less will
be about $3,600.
Adjoining is the rosidence of Mrs.
Welsu, 1,005. It was literally domelisbed.
By almost a mlracle tbe mombers of the
family escaped. The less will be about
J5.000.
The Catholic buildings, at Seventeenth
aud Broadway, wero the Sisters' home, the
parochial school, Fatlier Disnev's resi resi rosi
deneo and tbe Sacred Heart church. They
were all blown down, and Sister Pius was
buried iu the ruins. .Shortly after, when

TF.RRU1LE KXFER1ENCE ON A TRAIN.
The early night train en the L., SU L. A
T. read had a race for Ufa with the demon
of tbe eleuienta, and for tb roe long minutes
the shriek of escaping steam, mingled with
the screams of the passengers and tbe tor
nado's cry f death, was a terror never be
fore realized by man. Soen after crossing
the Salt river bridge, 20 miles below Louis
ville, the engineer heard an indescribable
noise, and a queer cloud In the southwest,
told nlm of mere danger than all the red
lights that bad ever flashed en the steel
ribbons bofero his engine.
The track there Is a perfect level for some
miles, and ha knew that te be caught in
that place meant Instant death te himself
and passengers. A slight elevation of
earth was four miles In front of him! te
gain It would only be a small aud weak
protection against the fee that no man could

long, weird blast of his whistle aud the
threttle was placed at the limit. Madly,
frantically rushed his engine, swaying
from side te side, whlle perfect paudo paude paudo
nienlum relgned among the crew aud pas
sengers. Fester grew his wheels, aud in one min
ueo, the uoise of the tornado drowned the
clatter of wheels, and the sky was Impene
trable. Then all hope seemed gene. The
tornado crossed tbe track In front of the
flying train and the dread fill suspense was
ever. The train was saved, but the pas
sengers realized their danger when they
pulled into Louisville and found tbe track,
from Fourteenth te Seventh streets, cov cev cev
ored with trees and houses et all descrip
tions, and the west eud a mass of ruins re
sembling only in ghastlincss the great

Precautions Agnlunt Impure Ice.
Frem the English Mechanic.
Of late attention has been directed te the
latent dangers of Ice. It has been found
that this apparently harmless aud attractive
substance may falrlv reck with disease
gerns and filth uf all kinds. Unless It Is
known fietn whence the Ice comes, Its use
may be mere dangerous than the use of
water. Ice is sometimes dorlved from
water which lie ene would think of
drinking, as, for instance, from
ponds in cometeries and from rlvers
in the neighborhood of sewer outlets,
and, as u result, may be indescribably foul,
Aside from the danger of germs lurking in
ice, thore is risk in the Indiscreet use of
water cooled te an abnormally low tem
perature, sin co functional disorders are
often caused by the drinking of very cold
water. Ne water is se refreshing as that
of a mountain spring, and ene reason of
this is that its touieraturo is just right. It
is well te take hlr.ts '.bat are given by
nature, and the bint that the best tempera
ture of drinking water is about 50 degrees
Fahr. is a geed ene, and worth following.
I would suggest and I um sure that
e cry ene who tries It wilt be mnre than
satisfied that the filtered water be caught
in steppered carafes, or, what Is just as
geed, carefully cleaned sherry bottles
stoppered with new, clean corks, and that
these bottles filled with water and chic
fully stepjiered be placed in tbe refrigera
tor for several hours. By putting
half a dozen such bottles tilled
with water In the refrigerator and
replacing them with otbers as they are
taken out, a supply of clean, filtered "water
of a satisfactory und sale degree of cool
ness may be kept continually en hand.
The use of this simple method of purifica
tion of water will, I am certain, prevent
many a case of sickness and net a few
deaths, and it is se simple, cheap and 0111 0111
cacleiis that any ene can make success
of It.

teorologists draw distinctions between

Is known as "the great hurricajie" started

LEAVENWORTH'S MYSTERY.
The Dismembered Bedy or a Weman
round Iu the Missouri Hirer With a
Bullet Wound In the Head.
An unusually horrible affair was un
covered In Leavenworth. Kansas, en
Friday, being the discovery in the Missouri
river by two boys who wero out In a small
beater the dismembered and dlsotnbewoled
body of a woman. Beth legs had been cut
off, while a bullet wound en the left side of
the head, Just behind the ear, showed
clearly hew death had ceme In the first
place. The body was found In the water
net far from the bank in a small eddy be
tween the city' and the fort, aud it was
evldeut the corpse had net been In the
water many day.
Investigation by the imllce showed that a
German painter, Jehn Mettmau, had re
ported te the pelice last Monday that his
wife Julls, had disappeared thoevenlng
befere under most mystoileus circumstan
ces, and though he had made every effort
te find her his search had been unavailing.
The face ofthe corpsehad net been Injured
In tbe least, and Jehn Meltman, Jr., who Is
a fireman en the Reck Island railroad, bo be bo
tween Leavenworth and Trenten, was sent
for. He at ence Idontitled tbe body as that
of his mother.
Every part of Uie woman's clothing was
found Intact, but that the murder was a
deliberate and dolermlned ene wss evi
denced from the fact that her shawl hed
been tern In two, tied together and wrapped
around her neck, belng fastened In such a
way as te accommodate soveral large stones,
the Idea being te make the sinking of tbe
body a certainty.
The Identification was made com pi el e by
a daughter of tbe dead woman. After a
search a gunny sack was found seme ills
tattoo from Iho place whero the body was
discovered, containing ene of the legs of
the dead woman, the heart and Intestines,
but the ether leg Is still missing,
Nowsef the finding or Iho remains of
his wife was at ence conveyed te Mettmau,
who lives in West Leavenworth, but be
was strangely apathetic and showed no
sign or interest. He had stated his wife
had $110 sewed In the lining of her dress
when she disappeared, this being tbe sav
ings, of the son, but no trace of the money
was discovered.
When the pelice bad a talk with the
dead woman's daughter the affair began te
take en a diflerent aspect. The girl said
her fhthernnd mether had quarreled seme
tlme age and agreed te separate, but had
subsequently made it up. On Sunday
afternoon ut about flve o'clock tbe mother
went te a neighbor's heuse te make a visit;
and left thereabout eight o'clock, saying
she intended te go home. That was the
last seen of her alive.
The nest day ber dlsamwarance was re
ported te tbe pelice. Efferts te get a story
from tbe husland was unavailing, and
Anally he was put under arrest. Suspicion
was aroused by his actions, nnd a careful
search of the premises shewed a trail of
bleed en tbe sidewalk oppeslto the heuse.
It la the theory of the pelice that the wife
was killed by the husband Sunday night
and the body concealed until lust night,
when it was cut te ploces, ploced in Iho
gunny sack, and under cever of the heavy
storm which pre vailed curried te the river
and thrown iu. The pelice cannot under
stand why tbe body was se fiendishly
mutilated. They say that thore are many
things tending te prove that Mettman was
tbe murderer. He is a rather Intelligent
German nnd lias lceu employed at Fert
Loaveiiworlh for seme tlme.
New Teuuhern In the Nermal SchoeL
Millkiwvilli:, March 2tf. The prospects
for a large Increase Iu the number nf stu
dents at the Nermal school during the
coming session are se assuring that the
authorities have onlarged the teaching ferce
by the addition of flve wall known and ex
perienced teachers. Prof. Frank Albert,
-Cf Lattmere, Pa., who from 1S70 te 1883
was piofesser of matbematics tit tbe Mil Mil Mil
lorsville Nermal, will assist in'tlic mathe
matical department. Prof. W. B. Brubaker,
who taught In tbe school last summer, will

schools. Miss Maud Verplank will have
charge of the kindergarten department of
the medel school. She is a graduute of tbe
Yerk Colleglate Instltute.and of Felix Ad Ad

The school has been fortunate In its abil
ity te select theso trained teachers ust
when they are needed, aud we understand
that tbe authorities arc ready te engage ut
short notice, ethers of equal rank und abil
ity, should the continued growth of tbe
school make it necessary.

Courtesy In (lie Household.
Frem the New Yerk Ledger.
Te abbrovlate und neglect the forms of
politeness Is really te diminish the sentl sentl
ments and the needs et the heart. As seen
as ene couses te express outwardly even
the most esscntlul sentiments, these senti
ments become weakened te a certain degree
In the soul : they leso something of their
dellcacv and their energy. The cultiva
tion of tbe forms of ixilltoness must be
begun in family llfe between husbands
and wives, parents und children, brothers
und slsterr. Till courtesyJs honored iu
