M Academy ol Music that Blled the
Liu building from orehestra to top
gallery with a crowd of enthusiastic
belleTtn in the doctrines ot the party
ami hundreds more earged around the
entrance doors unable to gain
admittance. The attraotlon that
drew ao many people to the meet
iug was undoubtedly the announce
ment in th list of -ipeakers of the name
of Congressman Thomas B Keed, of
Maine. The meeting wn held under
the auspices of th I'aion League club,
and its object was iba dual one of
opening in this city th: campaign ot
Gtlusha A Grow, Republican candi
date for oongressman-at large, and to
enunciate auewtlie policv if protection
as opposed to that of tariff reform.
The meeting was presided over by
Colouel A. Lou leu Snowden, ex-minis-ter
to Greece and Spain, and the first
speaker was Mr. Grow. Mr. Grow',
speech wit a stalwart defence of Re
1'ubhcm principles, and an arraign'
111-nt of the doctrine of Democracy
Mr. Grow spoke but a short time aud
expressed himself as confident of elec
tiou aud by a big ui ijority at the com
ing election on th 20tb of the month,
Colonel Suowdea thm introduced Mr
Reed.
OVATION TO MR. KEED.
As the Main congressman caui
down to the edge of the stag- the en
tire house rose and for five minutes
every u in on the audience seemed to
be try to cheer louder than his neigh
bor. Finally Mr. Heel was couipellel
to raise l is hand in expostulation and
after some spasmodic cheering front
those that had mm breath left iptiet
was restored. Mr. Rel spoke for
tbree-iinarters of an hour and his dry
humor and biting sarcasm at the ex
pen?" of Democracyand its leaders were
heartily appreciated by his audience.
The next and last speaker was Con
gressman Dolliver, of Iowa. Mr. Dol
liter took the tariff for his text, and
hi humorous illustrations of bis re
marks kept bis audience in a roar of
laughter. Resolutions comdening the
Wilson bill, an 1 its income tax feature,
and Mr. Cleveland's Hawaiian policy,
were adopted.

Mkmciiis, Tenn., Feb. !. A ayelone

of Mississippi late yesterday afternoon
and laid wast everything in its
path. Plantations wr devastated,
fnrm bouses were wrecked and the
debris scattered ov-r the ennntry for

were prostrated and it is impossible to
obtain particulars from the Stricken

Tne gin bonne and the tenement
hones on the Nugent place were all
blown down and large tra-g were
twisted from their stumps and carried
away. The cyclone passed through
Washington and liohvar counties,
thickly populated with proiperous far

will be greally swelled when the d
tnils are known. The hurricane came
from the southwest and was accom
panied by the regular funnel shaped
aloud.
The Lnmbnr plantation near Port
Hudson was also struck by the fnrions

mi one would ever think of warning all
to "pint no bills." The butler is not a

the subject matter inscribed on the

meant to represent a deadly bomb with
