The tornado struck the house and hurled the dining -room like a flying top, landing it fifty feet away. All the oocupants were more or less bruised. l� Mr. Herman was pinned down in the debris, and only the energy of despair when he smelt the odor of the fire near him enabled flim to extricate himself. Recovering, he found his little girl burning by the over- turned stove, and before the flames could leaseetinguisiled she was frightfully burned about the back and limbs. r q A The g a ar P t Kapp's a d , A BREWERY WRECKED. briehurricane then struck the Burkhardt ry squarely, wrecking it utterly.

James Whittle's barn and orchard, worth $1,000, was destroyed, he himself narrowly escaping. • FATAY. DELAY. ' Melvin Irish and family had just seated themselves at sapper when Mrs. Irieh cried: " Run to the cellar, a cyclone is. Homing." She and her two children man- aged to reach the cellar before the. orash, but Mr. Irish was caught by a hesvy tim- ber and his spine was seriously injured: Mr. Irish was probably fatally injured. , Passing on, the storm demolished the houses of Alvin Alexander and Mrs. Kate 1 O'Connell. Then baying levelled a large orchard in its path, it esrpended its force on Robert Watte' house and Mrs. Eliza Baker's home, and passed into the open beyond. , s- • The extent of the tornado is at this time unexplored, and the damage in dollars oan- not be stated.It is, however, large, as it falls on the laborers whose all is in their homes. All desoriptions of the storm show that it was rotary in its motion, and this is shown by the skewing of the buildings it struck and the twisting off of the big trees in its path. The track was between 50 and 100 feet wide. Kansas Visited. A Ferdonia, Bas-; despatoh says : Yes- terday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a heavy wind storm passed through this county in a northeasterly direction, destroying J. Anderson's barn two miles from here. The storm again struck the ground two miles further on, destroying much property and killing Mre. Frank Glidden, and danger- oaely injuring Mr. Glidden and child, and killing Harvey Kittse, aged 16.,' Othpersona in the same vicinity who wer hull were Mrs. • Bloat, Mre.

The family of Henry Young were all injured, ,Mrs. Young fatally. Twin Brothers Fight Savagely. A Vincennes, Ind , deepatoh of Sunday nays : n Friday night at Edwardeport a tragedy was ensoted, in which John and Amos • e,mson, twin brothers, were the actors. , At the election last April John, who is a Republican, offered his brother, a Democrat, $1, to Vote the Republican ticket. Ames declined, and there was ,ill -feeling, between the men afterwards. On Friday night Amos was standing on the steps of a store, when John approached. Hot words ppassed between them, when Amos, eudTi denly leaping upon his brother, plunged a knife into hie side. John's wound is fatal. Amos is in jail. The Explanation. Me.

A Murderous Assault :with the Object of Securing Money. .A. Paris oable of Sunday says : Marie Gagnon, ,the demi-mondaine, better .known tt ar tbe,-r ttq^, ..e t".r, a lunation was attempted on Friday, had not reoovered conaoioneneee n_•p to tate hem, last evening. M. Gordon and hie principal inapeotor, M. Janme, were busily engaged yepterday hunting for clues, but they were unrewarded. They are of opinion that the murder was committed by an amant d'occa- sion. The concierge of the hones, No. 11 Rue de Provenoes where Marielle. -resided, did not Bee her visitor enter. 1 he criminal appears to have begun his sanguinary work soon after entering Marielle'e apartment, that is about hell -pact 1, when the woman changed her out -dooms 7 : b1owp with a spiked knuckle-duster or some similar weapon., on the head, and, blinded with the blood that spurted from the wound, Marielle fell. with a groan whioh was heard by a woman living on the floor above. For about an hour sitenoe reigned. Then this woman again heard Marielle moaning. She knocked on the floor, and it is supposed that the murderer then straok hie victim a third blow whioh ornehed in her right temple. The assassin remained in the apartment until daybreak and searched for the fruits of his. primo.---Aa_Marielle'sa levee lery was not greet in value, he did not appropriate it, contenting himself with hard cash as a lees dangerous booty. He was heard moving about the room at 5 a.m. by the occupant of the apartment next Marielle's. Marielle was only 23 years of age, very pretty, with naturally golden hair. She wee well known among Parisian degrafees, and was an habitue of the Folies Bergere, Montague's Rueses, Cafe Ameri- oaine and other resorts frequented by her class. Her apartment is very ocquettiehly furnished: She has only occupied the Rue de Provence apartment for the last few months, and previously lived in Rue de Chateau d'Ean. She had the reputation of being of an economical character, having in a mug a little sum put by for a rainy day. News, from Lariboieiere Hospital at a:late hour to -night is that Marie Gagnon con- tinues in the same comatose state ar 'e 80.'a .at medical science .can suggest. Although powerless to utter a word the poor girl seems to comprehend all that goes on around her. When drink is offered her, she turns on one side for greater convenience and afterwards wipes her lips. Her right eye'is horribly tuwi- fied, but her left remains uninjured. '.Por- tions of her brain are exposed in three gap- ing wounds. The doctors hope, even if they cannot save her life, at least to restore oonsoioneneas so far as to allow her to'tell what she alone knows of the terrible drama in which she has played suoh a fearful part. ' Suing fora Wife. A somewhat novel snit, in whioh a mem- ber . of the Dominion Parliament ,will appear as the defendant, is likely to be heard at next Toronto Assizes. In the Qneen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice Wednesday Messrs: Ritohe, Leeming & Ludwig, acting on behalf of John Becker; -applied for an injunction to restrain James Livingston, M. P., South Waterloo, from keeping Becker, who married Mr. Livingstone's daughter, apart from his wife. Becker has also commenced an action against Mr. Livingston 'for $20,- 000 damages for alienatingthe affections of his, wife and for depriving him of her society. The story goes that Becker was a cutter in Mr. Livingstone'e store at Baden, Ont., and he formed an attachment with his master's daughter Rose. The young couple were married on the ely, and the match was distasteful -to Mr. Livingstone, who separated the couple and refuses to allow his daughter to see her husband. Evidences of a Horrible Crime. A Kansas City despatch of Sunday says: The evidences of a ghastly crime were dis- covered at the Union ,station yesterday morning. In a, pine box two feet long was found the horribly mutilated body of a woman. Nearly all the flesh hadebeen cut from the bones,,and the head and ace were mutilated beyond recognition. The body was "packed 'in charcoal, and from all appearances life could not have been extinct more than 24 hours. The box was oheoked through over the Wabash road from St. Louis on Friday night and arrived here early yesterday morning. . Something Like a Bridge Span; A Needles, Cal., despatch of yesterday says : The connection of the Arizona and California wings of the great cantilever bridge will be finished to=day: The bridge is said to have the lotigeet unsupported span of any cantilever bridge in the world —360 feet—and the total length of the bridge is' 960 feet. Nearly 40,000,000 potinde of iron and steel were used in the construction Three men were killed and twenty-five injuredduring the work.

Pasquale Marreseola, aged 32, Francisco Michaeli, the same age, and three other Italane drank and played cards together until midnight Saturday night in an Italian resort inJames street, New York. Mane - Boole and Miohaeli then searted for home, but got into a quarrel. A few minutes later Marrescola, with blood streaming from . a terrible gash across his face, ran up to a policeman and soon fell from Meekness. The policeman a short distance away found Michaeli laying on the sidewalk senseless and bleeding from five wounds in the chest and abdomen: ,Bothmen were taken to an hospital. Michaeli had been wounded with a stiletto and Marrescola .with..a ..razor. Marrescole had cuts on his arm and shoulder as well as on hie face. Michaeli died yesterday afternoon without making a statement. No one saw the affray, and Marreecola's conviction as a murderer is extremely doubtful. Gentleness in the Family. Opposite to my summer home is a pretty cottage where a young couple with their ehiidren—two boys—come for their holi- days ; the children, aged I should say, 4 and 6 • yearn. Every morning the father, when he leaves the gate, whither he ie escorted by hie boys, turns and lifts his hat gravely, and courteously ; the broad sen hats of the babies are promptly lifted in return,. and "Good-bye, paps," " Good- bye, my boye," rings out on the soft air, making melody for all who oare to hear. I often wonder if they know how much oordiality these truly gentle exchanges carry to their unknown neighbors actress the way, or what pleasant pictures they suggest to my fanny.—Cor.

" " It was ten times harder. I ran a few steps and it seemed to me that the whole planet was turning round. I sprawled all over to -keep from falling, and when l[ struck the sidewalk I nearly knocked two °mien down who were passing, in my mad attempt to preserve an equilibrium. As I reeled away I heard one of them exclaim: "It's a shame to see a woman is such a condition on the public streets—she ought to be arrested." I could not run after him to explain matters, bntI have never had the slightest ambition to jump off a street- car in motion. since. Yet it does look °o.. easy when John does it." l'„. New Cure fur the Insane.. ; During the prevalence of the grip., number of persons were reported t,, become insanefrom the effects of the i - ease. ' Now the statement is made otr excellent authority that several insane per- sons were cored by the same malady. Dr.. N. E. Payne, of the state insane asylum at W:estbgr•o, Mans., nays that seven of Ile eighty-six patients attacked by the influ- enza appear to have recovered. He adds that five of the seven would never have recovered if the epidemic had passed by without entering the hospital. Now, if Mr. Pasteur, or some other medical gentle- man, will devise some method by whioh patients in insane asylums can be inocu- lated with the influenza germ, or miorobe, a great blessing may be conferred upon humanity.—Chicago News. Eat Nothing with Fish. , I think itis a wise plan that an English friend of mine tells me Sir Morell Mao:' kenzie adopts in his own family, and has caused to be followed by many of his ' friends and patients—that of never allowing bread on the table when he has fish there, says a writer in the St. Louis _ Glebe. Under no oiroumatanoea will he eat, or Hermit to be eaten, fish or bread at the same time. Be'holds that the presence of bread in the month prevents the detection of the presence of a. bone, which is lodged in the throat before it is discgvered, and strangulation follows. The wisest way id certainly to eat fish alone, never with bread or similar substances, for there is mach danger in fish -bones.. Worthy of Being Rewarded. " Will yoi marry me ? " " Do yon smoke ?
