The Louisville Disaster.
Thursday last was a day of storm and
disaster, and the city of Louisville. Ky..
was the w> r-t sufferer.
Between 7 and 3 o'clock that evening a
tornado struck tho southwestern part of
tho city, and tore it-; way diagonally in a
northeasterly direction through the city in
a path five blocks wide The crash and
roar was heard for miles, the air was full ot
flying bricks, signs and rools. and for a
while everybody was terror stricken. Then
thousands of people repaired to the scene
of the disaster, and all night the work o !
rescuin? tho disabled. and recovering th>
bodies of the dead went on.
So far as 1- known two hundred person
were killed outright and several hundred
wounded.
.Yt Falls City Hall a large number ol'
people were gathered at a dance, tiie
immeu«e five-story building seemed to
have been crushed down from the top, and
many people were killed outright and
many other> suffocated by gas from the
broken pipes. The bodies of ten women
locked in each others arms were found in
one place. A fire started ia the mins
about midnight and some wounded people
were burned to death.
The cloud accompanying the cyclone
was observed along almost its entire course
by Dr. Lyon, who resides at the Falls. He
savs tho cloud approached up the gap in
the Knobs through which the Ohio flows.
It was balloon-shaped, twisting an attenu
ated tail toward the earth. It emitted a
constant fusillade of lightning, and seemed
to be composed of a lurid snake-like ma->
of electric currents, whose light would
sometimes suddenly be extinguished for a
few brief moments, making an almost in
tolerable, horrible darkness. It was ac
companied by a fearfal roar like that of a
thousand trains crossing the big bridge at
once. It could lie seen to strike Louisville
and then with incredible rapidity rumbling
awfully, the awful mass leaped the river,
changing it into white foam as it came
toward the Indiana .-horc. It appeared to
cross the Louisville bridge, just over the
falls.
Mr. Lyon is a gentleman of scientific at
tainments and a close observer, and watch
ed the storm with a view of ascertaining
certain points in tfee cyclonic movement.
Evansville and Jeffersonvillo of Indiana;
Metropolis. Cairo and other towns of
Illinois; Cincinnati, Canton and other towns
in Ohio; Racine, Wi».: Sedalia, Jefferson
City and other towns in Missouri; (irays
ville, Georgia;Oallatin. Tresavant, Fayette
villo and other towns in Tennessee, and
many other places suffered by the >-torm,
which seems to Lave been remarkably
widespread.
Incidents of the storm are numerous. A
life insurance policy taken up by the wind
in Louisville was fnnml on a bush 33 miles
away, and a steamboat is said to have been
lifted out of the water and blown upon the
bank.
In I'nion and Webster counties. Kv.,
fifty people were killed. One house, after
being blown down, was burned with part
of the family in it. One man's house was
torn to pieces and his 4-year-old child
carried 150 yards and dashed into a shape
less mass. At Eddyville, Ky., nine persons
were killed and at Knttawa, twelve. At
Delaware. Ky., a house was picked tip
and carried oOyar's and the family of five
in it all killed.
AMONG the candidates for Governor who
are moving around briskly is Major Mon
tootli, of Pittsburg. The Clarion Republi
can in speaking of his visit to that county
says he was accorded a hearty welcome by
the Republicans there, flis soldier record
is said to be very good.
OVER inj.ajv-reiictf Co. there will bu a
"SqtTare fight on delegates to tho State Con
vention —Johnson and Brown being the
Deluniater candidates, and Wallace and
Hart representing the opposition.
THE Dependent pension bill passed the
Senate, Monday. All persons who served
three months or more and who are nnable
to support themselves are to receive sl'2
per month, and dependent parents, inino/s
and widows are also provided for.
IT is said that Senator Quay may yet
run for Governor if he discovers that Dela
mater could not be elected.
THE Centre Co. Convention was unami
mous for Hastings for Governor, and its
resolutions give him a good send-off.
Quay May Sue the "World."
NEW YORK, March 31.--Your correspon
dent was informed to-night that Senator
M. S. Quay would institute proceedings in
court against the New York ll'orld for
libel, claiming damages in tho sum of
SIOO,OOO. A Pinkerton detective is re
sponsible for the story. He says that the
author of the political expose is being
shadowed by detectives, and that sufficient
evidence will be produced to vindicate the
same of Senator Quay. The writer's name
is Boylan, and he is considered by his em
ployers a brilliant and trustworthy man
who has had 25 years' newspaper experi
ence. Tho World?# managing editor, Mr.
Chambers, said.that they would welcome
such proceedings, and further stated that
their columns had been exceedingly lenient
toward Quay, considering the proofs held
in the background regarding tho political
scandal, "If it should come to such an issue
we will make it far more interesting for
Mr. Quay," said he.
The Pennsylvania politicians seen in and
about tho Fifth Avenue Hotel were uni
formly of the opinion that no suit would
be brought by Quay or his backers. Some
of them who knew personally a thing or
two about tho inside workings of tho Sena
tor's career intimated that he would hold
his seat and characteristically say nothing.
It is harder for us to forgive a man
whom we have wronged than it is to for
give a man who has wronged us.
Rktwfkv the true patriot and the true
politician there i.i this difference; The
patriot wants to do something for his
country —the politician wants his country
to do something for him.
THK National Guard is to havo a Di
vision Encampment at Mount Gretna after

and Gobin having decided, at a meeting
held at Harrisbtirg. on Tuesday, to hold
one. Adjutant General Hastings met with
the Brigadier Generals and Gov. Beaver's
opposition to a Division Kncanipinent was
well known but it had no effect on the
commanders of the general brigades. The
encampment will begin on tho 19th of July
and end on the 20th.
Big Money In Soldiers' Orphans.
MERCLR, PA., March 29.—The case of
Hon. John A. Stranahan against Hon. ti.
W. Wright to recover attorney fees as
counsel for tho Soldiers' Orphan syndicate
was given to tho jury at 2 o'clock this after
noon, after a two days' trial. Tho jury re
tired, and after a short deliberation,award
ed Mr. Stranahan $1,500.
It came out in the trial that tho profits
of tho Mercer School alone were over
$11)0,000.
Tiiosk sensitive people, tho country
over, who have been so agitated lest the
sovereign St:.to of New York might by
some possibility hurt a murderer in the
proces of executing hiui will learn with re
grot that the Court of Appeals has decided
the law providing for electrical execution
to be constitutional in every particular and
that young Mr. Kemmler is reasonably
certain to bo struck by lighting acording
to appointment.
Three Respited.
11 \RRISBFRG. March 31.—0f the seven
. rers whose execution was fixed for
r he 9th of April next. James H. Jacobs, of
Lancaster, who murdered a relative, has
1. ,d hi- death penalty commuted to im
.me:it for life, and William H. Smith,
1. of Allegheny, while drunk, killed
• . and John W. Rudy, of Lancaster,
jwW murdered his father, were to-day
until the 26th of June, to enable
* 11: r > ases to receive further consideration
at th ' hands of the Board of Pardon*. At
•' the Brit meeting of that body, on the third
; Tai -,iay of April, efforts will be resumed
tfte interest of the commutation of
Mnit:. and Rudy. The former, it is alleged,
i had great provocation to get rid of hi* dis
! reputable wife, and the latter is supposed
j 1)-.- h: counsel to be innocent of the crime
of which he was convicted.
The murderers to be hanged on April 9
are William 11. Bartholomew, or North
ampton county, who, in conspiracy with
Mrs. Aaron Dillard, shot her husband
while the latter held up his lantern with
which to detect a supposed chicken thief;
Charles Carter, of Cambria county, who
murdered a man through jealousy in a
house of ill-repute; Zach Taylor, of Greene
county, who assisted in the killing of
Drover William MeCausland, and Alfred
Andrew-, of Centre county, who murdered
Miss Price.
Senator Quay was in Philadelphia. Tues
day, and is reported to be trying to induce
Adjutant-General Hastings to accept a
p l.ion in the War Dep't at Washington.
The opponents of Delamater in Indiana
county have induced Hon. John Hill and
John 11. Rochester to stand for delegates
to the State Convention.
IN commenting on the fact that the
Cambria county jail contains ten boys,
from 11 to 17 years old, awaitinp trial,
none of whom could read or write at the
time of being committed, the Chicago
Intir Ocean says: "Pennsylvania would
do well to follow the example of Illinois,
and compel all children to attend school.
In exceptional cases it may be hard for
parents to do without the labor of their
children, but the well being of the children
and the hope ol society and the State de
pend upon the intelligence of the citizens.
No state can afford to raise ignorant men
and women."
THE committee to investigate the
alcoholic liquor traffic will doubtless hava
one long picnic. It consists of five persons
appointed by the President, who shall in
vestigate the alcoholic, fermented and
vinous liquor trade in all its phases, its
relation to revenue and taxation, its effect
upon labor, agriculture, manufacturing
and other industries, and its general
economic, criminal, moral and scientific
aspects in connection with pauperism,
crime, social vice, the public health; and
also to inquire into the practical results of
license prohibitory legislation and the
various methods of restraint and taxation
relied upon for thy prevention of intemper
ance.
A Cnit Aii" man named Collins thinking
he had found a solution of the labor pro
bleni in the wholesale suicide of.working
men, endeavored to form an organization
found< d upon that idea. Failing in this he
did the next best thing, and went off and
drowned himself.
Franklin Twp. No. 5.
Thi- school known as Hickory Corner,
closed the winter term Tuesday, March
2>. The forenoon was spent in the
usual exercises, uud after the scholars were
tired i>; j4ay the remainder of the afternoon
v.'Us" spent in singing, recitations, and
speech making.
On Thursday evening before tho close of
the. school, the scholars gave an entertain
ment consisting of essays, recitations, dec
lamations, dialogues, etc, intersporsed
with music. The time was not set until
the evening before. But when it was made
known that an exhibition was going to be
given by the scholars of Hickory Corner
school, everybody was ready waiting; and
the house was filled to its utmost capacity.
The performance began a few minutes
before 8 o'clock, and lasted until almost
10.
The essays written and delivered by Jes
sie Barkely and Gertie Jones, were instruc
tive as well as interesting. The recitation
"One Bachelor of Many," with the re
sponse given by Curtis and Winnie Shontz,
\v;i claimed by many to be among the
best. The comic song which was sung ly
Ossie McCandless was highly appreciated.
Arthur McCandless delivered the Semi
nole's Defiance" in a very acceptablo man
ncr. Clara Albert, Celie Hilliard, Bertha
Thompson, Laura Weigle, Chloie Hilliard,
Mabel lUrkley, Ossie McCandless, Curtis
Shontz. Ralph Mackey, Ilarvey McCand
le-s, and Kvert Stannn sung that good eld
song, ' Honest and Upright," as well as
did l'rof. Leslie's class at the Institute.
The dialogues, "Robinson's wood yard,"
'•The ghost in the kitchen," and "Playing
Doctor," were also highly appreciated.
Space will not permit us to give a list of
nil the performances, but all did well,"and
they say "we must have another." No. of
scholars enrolled during the term 48.
The per cent of attendance for the term
is 90, notwithstanding the prevalence of
the scarlet fever and the influenza.
We are very thankful to the many visi
tors for their friendly calls and words «f
cheer, and to the directors for their kind
words of advice, and encouragement. In
closing i wish to extend my sincere thanks
to the scholars for the kind treatment that
I received from them, and to tho parents
(or their help and support.

TIIK levees along the Mississippi are again
being overflowed. A strip of 20,000 acres
in Arkansas is inundated, and from two to
three thousand people arc living on house
top- and in trees; a big crevasse near the
town of Skipswitb, Miss., caused that town
to bo washed away; only one house was
left i tanding and its two thousand people
fled to high er ground.
\ DIV ISION of the State Supreme court
may be of interest to fishermen. It has
been decided that possession of a prod or
stream i as much a right as tho possession
i'[ land, and that none may fish in such a
]» nd or stream without permission. One
' iy thus trespass upon the water as wull
upon the lnnd. if he is willing to abide
tho consequences.
Wi: have had another unhappy exhibi
tion, this time iti Philadelphia, of the mis
fortune attending American heiresses who
marry foreigners for their title*. The
diamclc:- little Count i>l MO.NTKBC'OLK,
v. .i married Miss KNOX of Pittsburg; who
choked his bride in Paris because she
would not give him money; and who has
turned out about as worthless a specimen
of humanity as can anywhere be found
placed himself on a stseot corner in the
(Quaker City and distributed circulars as
sailing has wife and her friends. There
was fortunately a law to reach the Count,
and he was hauled before the police court
and fined S2O for misdemeanor. The
mortification of the Couuteas over the re
velation of the ntter absence of manly
qualities in the man she married for a title
must be deep and painful. We should not
allud ■ to it but for the warning her sad
case con tains to other Ameriau heiresses
not to go and do likewise.
SI;N.VTOB BLAIR'S speech in behalf of his
educational bill contained 273,000 words.
That is perhaps the reason why it was
defeated.
SIIOKTIA after we had gone to press last
Thursday afternoon we were requested to
announce ('apt. (ieo. W. Fleeger,of Butler,
und .lames A. McMarlin, of Adams Twp.,
as candidates for delegates to the State
Convention. Their names appear in their
proper places this woek. Their candidacy
is aii indication of tho disgust now being
generated in the breasts of Republicans all
over the state by the methods adopted

the nomination of Mr. Delamatcr.

A syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists has
purchased the timber on 5,000 acres near
Johnstown. It is estimated that 40,000,-
000 feet of lumber will be produced. The
price pail will approximate $350,000. It
is the intention of tbe purchasers to erect
logging railroads through the property, to
construct sawmills, and put the lumber in
the market the coming summer. There
was never known in this locality such a
scarcity of pine lumber. Canada and Mich
igan are shipping more timber of all kinds
in this territory than ever before,the prices
are higher than at any time since the War.
Xo. 1 dressed pine is worth is worth S4O

The discovery of a rich bed of aluminum
near Corry, this state, and the formation
of a company to manufacture it, is report

An old fanner, named Rahauser, living
near Beaver Falls, was adjudged insane and
taken to the hospital last week. His in
sanity is said to have had a strange origin.
Several months ago he read an item in a
Pittsburg paper to the effect that a recent
meeting of a body of French savants, one
them in the course of an address to his as
sociates, asserted that by a proper diet it
would be possible to make hens lay eggs
with colored shells. Now he was possess
ed of a large flock of chickeus, aud he bad
no sooner read the item than the idea seiz
ed him to try the experiment on his fowls,
aud if successful he would to reap
profit from the eggs, Specially at Easter
time.
He at one* began experimenting in a
cautions way. He confined himself to giv
ing the chickens a purely vegetable diet,
so while he accomplished no result in the
way of colored egg-shells, y«t he did no
harm to his flock. For orange or yellow
colorad shells he fed chopped carrots, mix
ed with cornmeal; for red shells he gave
beets aud blood; for green he procured
grass from a swamp near by,and gave thein
a green grass mash; for purple, he tried
tho skins of purple strap leaved turnips,
aud for pink, he got a harmless dye stuff of
that calor froui a druggist, mixed it with
flour aud fed it to the chicks, but with no
avail. The eggs were just as lovely a
white, or as pretty a reddish brown as ev
er.
He grew morose, and from a hearty,
bluff, good-natured old German farmer, be
came peevish, silent, and ill-natured. One
day last week, however, he seemed to tire
of bis vegetable experiments, and mixiug
up a stroug decoction ol' cornmeal aud
paris green, aud vowing that bu would
make the hens either lay green eggs or
bust, he fed it tw them aud killed every
chickeu in the llock. After that he grad
ually grew violent, and finally had to be
taken to Dixmont.
The first snake story of the season conies
from Pittsburg aud is as follows: Ou lust
Thursday evening a large setter dog be
longing to to William Hayes, an employe
of the Crescent steel works in Lawrence
ville, died in great agony. For some time
previous to the canine's demise it had act
ed strangely. Mr. Hayes decided to hold
a post mortem to ascertain the cause of
deuth, aud when on the same eyening the
dead dog's stomach was cut a large black
snake was taken therefrom. The reptile
was dead und when stretched out measur
ed exactly seven feet in lefigth. It was
spotted on the head and tail. It is suppos
ed that tho dog swallowed the snake when
quite young aud that it lived and grew
while iu his stomach. A reputable Law
rence physician is authority for the story.
Now that the Chicugo Fuir has been
postponed till 1893, New York is talking
.of holding one in '92.
TIIKV are telling a great joke on a cele
brated man, who is-now fishing in Florida.
Somebody told him that green frogs were
the best bait for night lines. He set bis

found all his bait squatted on tho bank
looking reproachfully at him.

IT is a great relief to learu that no hu
man lives, so far as known, were lost in the
terrific prairrie fire- th:U have been sweep
ing over parts of Kansa-. Even the
destruction of animal life was not so heavy
as had been feared; and, although lully
s£">o. 000 worth of farm products is said to
have been consume'!, winter wheat seems
to be uninjured and the outlook for tho
agricultural season is good, t pon the
whole there i< much reason for rejoicing at
tbe comparatively slight ruiu wrought by
what threatened to be an awful disaster.
THE Superintendent of the Census. Rob
ert P. Porter, thinks the work will be so
promptly done that he will be able to an
nounce the total statistic* of population by
Aug. Ist. There will be <>oo clerks em
ployed in Washing, in, and electrical

work iu five hours than w.i< formerly done

KILRAIN". the pugilist, has had rather a
varied experience, and it is uot unlikely
that he may be a little blase. II so: he is
to be congratulated upon the fact that he
has in store a new sensation. For two
mouths at least be will actually work un
der the direct supervision of a Mississippi
Sheriff, aud will know what it is to have a
light to a finish, with a stone pile. It is
unfortunate that Mr. Sullivan canuotbe be
side him. so that a careful measurement of
the macadam might determine tbe question
of physical superiority without any chance
of a put-up job.
