■allroad Accident.
A serious accident happened on tho
Musoogoo railroad, at Howard station,
Sunday night, under tho following cir
cumstances)
Some cars were standing on a switch,
at tho station, and during tho storm,they
wero blown from tho switch upon the
main track. Tho passenger train from
Columbus ran into Llicm and badly dam
aged llie ongino and several cars. Tho
engino was tbo Wo. S. Holt and tho en
gineer was James Green, Tho following
persons wero Inland»
Homer Powers, engineer on the Perry
branch, who was a passenger on tho en
gine, was novel oly crushed in tho hips.
William Huggins was hurt in tho right
temple and in tho shoulder very serious.
Jack Craig, wood-passer, was also badly
burned.
Tho latter two wero considered in ver
dangerous conditions last night,and fears
are ontcrtoinoil that they would not re
cover.
A similar oooident very nearly oeanrred

railroad, where a car nai driven along
tho track at a rapid rato by tho wind.

the centra of tho city. 'While
there was a general blow of great vio
lence, experienced all over Macon and
in the suburbs, tbo real track of tho cy-
clono was loss than one-eighth of a mile
wide. ■ It entered tho city from tho west,
passed almost directly across, and passed
out in an easterly direction. It was in
this narrow track that tho greatest dam
age was done, and tho greatest conster
nation was produced. Outsido of it
houses wero rocked a little, some trees
were uprooted, fences prostrated and
small outhouses in some instances were
upset; but no very groat damage was in
flicted. nor wero tho people so badly
frightened. But in the main truck the

A r.cncral Riot at Ihr Wlailv
Between ten and eleven o'clo* k Sunday
r.'"ht Mn on w.ui visited l.y a m*.-t tcr-
rifi. cyclone, which .li.l a vast amount of
damn to property. The oldest citizens
rememl«T no storm that even npproxi-
m.r 1 this in violence. It seemed that
if the win.ls had collected all their fury
and exhausted it in a iLv-h across tho
centre of thccity. It was an irresistible
tornado, sweeping everything that came
within its path, twisting off tbo trunks of
largo trees, prostrating others, and uiak-
iug a general havoc such as no one can
conceive of or appreciate without passing
along the track of tho storm.
Sunday was mostly a cloudy day, and
about half post tliree in tho afternoon
rain 1-cgau to fall slowly and continued
for an hour or more. After that it re-
mafaed elou.ly; hut nothing unusual was
noticed in the atmosphere or clouds to
create apprehensions of so fearful a visi
tation as tho storm proved to be. About
eight o'clock there was some lightning
and this continued until tho storm came.
Tho first intimation the people had of
the coming of the tornado was a roaring
sound, which at first resembled the noise
of a train passing along a railroad. The
noise grow nearer and began to resemblo
the roar of flames in a dry, old wooden
building. Still nearer it came and the
sound is likened nnto "the rush of many
waters.” It was not until it had fully
burst upon the city that tho people un
derstood what event was transpiring, and
it came suddenly and with snch fury
to create a panic tho like whereof had
never before been experienced.
It found most people in bed and asleep,
and lost no time in arousing them from
their slumbers; and then almost every
household wss tho scene of the greatest
alari*. There was a series of crashes,
and rattling of windows, and shivering of
glass, and hanging of doors, and ripping
up of roofs, and crash of falling trees,
that it was a very stout-hearted man who
found no occasion for alarm. Few under
stood at first what was transpiring, and
when they did understand, no one knew
where was a safe place. People rushed
from room to room in their houses, hunt
ing for safe places. Women screamed
and men shivered at each fresh crash, and
nono knew when the next would come, or
what damage it would do.
It is impossible to give any exaggerated
description of the scenes that transpired.
True, it was in the night, and each fami
ly hod its own scene to itself; but each
was wild enough to delight tho most ar
dent lover of sensations, and it is not
very sthange that some of the more timid
thought the end of all things had come,
and that earth and its appurtenances wero
about to bo swept “in tho twinkling of an
oyo” into tbo mysterious great hereafter.
Our observation of tho results of the
storm hero, and inquiries of its direction
and ravages elsewhere, lead us to believe
that tho effocts in Macon wero the result
of a conjunction of two tornados—one
coming from tho direction of Atlanta and
tho other from tho direction of Columbus-
They met somewhere near this place and
formed a cyclone, which went whirling
to you in no small degree for tho prog
ress their cause lias made. Not only
have you from time to time presented
tnzny excellent arguments in advocacy of
the justice and policy of a system of pop
ular education, but your columns hsvo

public school system, vist.tho confound

with what has boon known in Georgia for
three-quarters of a centuiy as the
«• Poor School Law.” Tho prima
ry sad sole ol-joct of that law
was to provide odueattosud facilities for

but these were deeply impressed with its
terror and its grandeur, and lost no timo
in seeeking some plaeo of security. They
say on immense cloud of pitch blackness
billowed up from the west, which seemed
to bo heavily charged with electricity.
Angry lightnings seemed to bo darting
out and in like serpents of fire, and ono
could almost fancy that their hissing
could bo beard. Tho roaring sound,
which at first startle-1 tho wholo city,
seemed to emanate from this cloud, which
swirled over and over as if being rolled
ahead by some invisible power behind.
A* the cloud roachod tho city it appeared
to explode, giving vent to its fury in one
tremendous tornado of wind, which bowl
ed and shrieked as if mod because of its
long confinement and impatience to be
lot loose upon its work of destruction.
The spectacle was inconceivably grand,
or would have been had it not boen to
frightful.
Till DAMAGE.
It is difficult to form any estimate of
tho damage that was done to the city,
and it is equally difficult to enumerate
every instance in which damage was
done. There were few buildings in tho
track of the cyclone which were not in
jured, more or less. True the damage to
many was very .slight, but all boro testi
mony to tho weight of tho dreadful
storm-kin'g who had driven along in his
chariot daring the night.
The cyclone first struck the Laboratory
building, in the suburbs of Macon, which
was unroofed, and otherwise damaged it.
Between the Laboratory and Tattnall
square we observe no great amount of
Linage, further than the prostration of
'ignorance ' tn V * 1 and fences. A good deal of damage
was done on Tattnall square. The Mess
Hall at Mercer University suffered by
having threo chimneys blown down, in
juring the roof to an extent which re
quires immediate repairs. No damage
was dans to tho new college building.
Many oitt-houaes about tho square were
damaged, and many trees prostrated.
St. Paul’s Chnrch (Episcopal) had a
considerable portion of the roof torn off.
This was a shingle roof.
The t wo large stack chimneys—each
having four fines—on Dr. G. E. Suss.
dortTs residence, wero blown down upon
the roof, crushing it down considerable.
No damage w*s done to the insido of the
1-uilding except to the plastering of one
tod l-y the gen- room, a portion of which fall upon ope of

Across the street a chimney was blown
from Dr. Baxter's residence, and a num
ber of shade trees prostrated.
The roof of Mrs. Burch's residence was
crushed completely down upon the joists
which support the ceiling. It was fortu
nate that it sunk no further.
Some chimneys were Mown from the
residence of Mr. Stephen Collins.
AU along Magnolia and Cherry streets
the destruction of trees was very great.
The storm struck Mulberry street about
the Presbyterian Church, the roof
which, on the cast side, was cracked
nearly its whol x length.
The ornamental work on the tower
the Mulbeny Street Methodist Church
was blown off, breaking a hole in the roof.
A large window in the Court-house was
blown in, and the wind escaped by break
ing a hole through the slate roof. The
damage was not very groat.
About the intersection of Second and
Mulberry street, the storm appears
have been very violent. The roof of Mr.
E. J. Johnston's building was damaged,
and the plate glass windows badly broken,
Thomas Wood’s furniture store was un
roofed and one front window entirely
destroyed. The roof of the Lanier House
was almost entirely ruined and many
windows wrecked. The roof of the Ma
sonic Temple was damaged, hut to what
extent wo could not ascertain. From
Second to Third street a clean sweep was
made of trees, and many signs were blown
down.
From here the storm passed over to
Walnut street, taking in its passage
number of trees and fences, tho stables
in fit, rear of the Court-house, and some
what damaging residences on both sides
of Second street. A number of those
large oaks on the old academy lot were
prostrated.
The east side of tho roof of Christ
Church (Episcopal) was almost entirely
torn off, nnd two pinnacles were wrested
from the other side of tho church.
Many of the shade trees in the middle
of Walnut street were either uprooted or
twisted off.
A chimney wrs blown off of Dr. Boose-
vclt’s residence, nnd two off of Mr. Mas-
t-rson's. The piazza in front of Mr. T.
C. Dempsey’s residence was literally de
molished and his front door barricaded
with the rubbish.
On Bridge Bow ono house, occupied by
some colored people, hod its roof crushed
by a falling tree.
Here tho damago ends till wo reach
Central City Pork, where wo find half a
dozen of those tall pines outsido prostra
ted, nearly all tho Park fence down, and
somo twenty-five or thirty trees on the
inside either uprooted or broken off. No
damage was done to any of tho Park
buildings, except the judges* stand,which
was turned over upon tho race track, and
badly wrecked.
From tho Pork onward,' in an easterly
direction, as far os tho oyo could reach,
tho track of tho cyclone was marked out
by fallen trees.
AU tho casualties above enumerated
Uo in the track of tho cyclone; b*t do
not nearly includo all the damage that
was done in tho city. For instance tho
warehouse of CampbcU A Jones was un
roofed. Tho roof of tho Spottswood IIo-
tol was badly damaged. Ono chimney of
the Brown House was blown down upon
tho roof. Tbo roof of Dr. Baxter’s now
building received somo injury. The trees
in front of tbo First National Bonk were
blown down. Many signs wero scattered
about in various parts of the city, all
going to Show that tho wind was very
general.
IVo think tho general damage was dono
by a heavy gale which began to blow
about threo o'clock in tho morning, and
continued until daylight. This gale was
a very heavy one, and calculated to lift
any tin roof under which it could pene
trate. It blow down signs and awnings
at a fearful rato, and, among other dam
ages, smashed one of tho handsome plate
glass windows in front of Brown & Co.’s
book store.
It is fortunate that no rain feU during
tho storm, or tho damage would have
been very much greater.
A most remarkable thing connected
with tho wholo terror is, that, as far as
we have been able to asdbrtoin, no serious
personal injury was sustained by any ono.
INCIDXMTS or TUX STOOil.
A most interesting chapter could bo
made of tho incidents connected with
this stonn if wo hsd only tho time to col
lect and write them, which wo hare not.
Wo will mention a few.
A gentleman who looked out while the
storm was at its height, said he could sec
by tho flashes of lightning that the wholo
atmosphere was filled with flying mis
siles, snch os shingles, signs, cotton,
sticks, bricks and everything else that
the wind could pick up or throw down.
Mr. O. F. Adatfls, being unaware that
his front stops had been blown down
started to go to his front yard and fell
among the wreck, a distance of somo ten
or twclvo feet, stunning and bruising
himself considerably.
Frank Thwcatt, an old and trusty ser
vant of Messrs. Hardeman & Sparks,
avJaked by tho storm, and got up and
went to the warehouse, where ho remained
tho balance of tho night, for fear some
accident should happen to the immense
amount of cotton stored there.
A negro house on Magnolia street was
removed soveral feet from its oundation
without awakening its inmates. When
they were awakened yesterday morning
they were surprised to find a number of
bricks in bed with them, and that their
habitation .had been removed without
their knowledge or consent, or any legal
process.
Officer Wryo was prostrated by the
wind on Cotton avenue and thrown vio
lently against a building, and is satisfied
that he only prevented himself from be
ing blown down the street by holding
fast to the door-facing.
Officer Roberts asserts that he was
lifted several feet in tho air. He fell on
E. J. Johston’s corner, and managed to
moor himself by holding fast to the iron
railing in front of that building.
Jury Olitalnrri amt Ike Tcsttuauny
Bun.
The case of L. B. Pike, charged with
the minder of C.14-1 K. lti,-r. came up lie-
tore tbe Superior Court yesterday- The
State was repr.--ented by Solicitor-Gen
eral C. U. Harris. Co'.on l W. A. Lofton
and Messrs. Blount
defence was conducted by Colonels John
B. Weems and Sam. Hall.
The morning session of the court wa3
wholly occupied in making up a jury.
Comparatively little difficulty was ex
perienced, however, in obtaining a jury,
as the panel was full when the hour ar
rived for taking a recess for dinner. The
following named persons constitute the
jury: W. F. Horne, Jacob Ibid, W. H.
Parker, Jero Fuss. Geo. P. Bond. T. J.
Lane, J. W. Skipper. F. B. Beville. Chaa.
Craft (colored). C. D. Findlay, Elihu
Price and lames Meara.
At three o'clock the court met and tho
testimony was begun by the State. Tho
following ft substantially the testimony
as taken yesterday afternoon:
Jacob Russell, sworn—I was present
when Baer was killed. Mr. Pike killed
him. (Identifies prisoner.) Tho killing
occurred on the lffth of August, at En-
gleke’s saloon, below tbe Lanier House.
I was in Englekc's saloon, standing
at the counter with three other men,
besides Baer. Baer wns with us. The
men were the two Englekes, Hart wick
and Baer. Piko come in with another
gentleman, and called for some beer.
They didn't drink the beer. Mr. Pike
called Mr. Baer aside. They talked
together a few minutes as near as I can
remember, and then I heard the report of
a pistol. I looked around and saw Mr.
Pike with a pistol pointing toward Mr.
Baer and Mr. Baer falling down. [D. C.
Garrett was brought in, but witness was
not able to identify him as the man who was
with Pike.] ThenI left the roomand didn’t
see anything else. About 10 or 15 min
utes I went in and saw Baer lying dead.
I saw the wound. Dr. Fitzgerald was in
there examining the wound. Tho wound
was on the left breast. Looked like quite
a small wound. ELppose it was done by
a small ball. I oclieve it was about
noon, or between 11 and 12 o'clock, as
near as I remember. I saw no weapon
in Baer's hand. 1 don't know what L.
stands for in Pike’s name. I was stand
ing about 5 or 6 steps from the parties
when the killing took place. Pike just
laid his hand |on Baer’s coat and asked
him to step aside. Tbe pistol was found
a few minutes after—two or three min
utes, as near as I can remember. I looked
around as quick os I heard tho pistol fire,
and then went instantly out of the build
ing.
Cross-examined—I think I have given
the names of all the persons in tho saloon
at the time. I was talking with Engelke,
Baer and Hardwick. We wore standing
near the front door and against the coun
ter. Pike had not been in the saloon
long when ho called Baer aside. While
Engelke was drawing tho beer ho called
him aside. I don’t remember whether
Pike or Baer spoke first I think Piko
told Baer I10 wanted to see him, when he
took him by tbe coat I don't remember
what Pike said to Baer. I think he said
'I want to see you.” He took him by
the coat in a gentle manner. They went
to the opposite corner of the room from
us. After Baer and Piko stepped aside,
I and tho others continued the conversa
tion. W. G. Engelke and Hardwick wero
with me. A- Engelke was drawing tho
beer. Piko and Baer talked together a
minute or two.
Mrs. Pike. I told her I would tell what
1 knew about the case when I was sworn.
Mr. Pike was boarding at the Gillespie
House before Mrs. Pike came to Matron.
I don't know who else were bearding
there. I Went to Nelson's corner, stayed
there about s minute and then walked
right back, meeting with Grace on th.
Ba-dtreet—When Mrs. Pike was stand-
Hird.-inun. The | ingin front of the Brown House, Baer
having gone in. she was doing nothing.
She looked to me to be dissatisfied and
rootless.
Sam. D. Rainey, sicom—I know Mrs.
Pike. (Identifies her). I saw her first,
I think, on the night of the 17th of Au

Charles Carhart, worn—I saw Mrs.
Pike on Sunday ntobtatthe cnrshed,two
days before tbo shooting. (Points out
Mrs. Pike.) She walked over to tlie
Brown House and inquired of tho watch
man where she could find her husband,
Mr. Pike. It was about 5 minutes after
11, directly after tho Savannah train
came in. Tho watchman told her Mr.
Piko didn’t stop there. I told her I was
going by the hotel where her husband
•stopped and I would show her tho way
there. Sho thanked me veiy kindly if ”
would do so. I went with her to Brown'
hotel, on Mulbeny street, opposite
tho Lanier House. I told her I
would go up stairs and sec if Mr. Piko
in. Mr. Baer 'got in the door
ah I started up the steps. He wanted to
know who I was looking for. I remarked
was looking for Mr. Pike. His wife
wanted to see him. His remarks were
that Mr. Pike was not there and was not
Lending tiler.—that K' hadn’t Wn
town in six weeks. I remarked to him
that I had seen him on a Thursday, with
Mr. Bcsore, not to dispute his word. He
turned to Mrs. Pike then and told her
that he would tako her to where she
could find her husband. She thanked
him kindly, if ho would do so. As
ho turned off ho said, "I will excuse
you darkys.” I stood there then about
fivo minutes talking to Clod George. ■
walked on behind Mr. Baer and Mrs.
Pike, and got to the Spottswood
Hotel. He left her standing on
tho sidewalk in front of the hotel
while ho went in. Ho came ont and
went in the direction of tho Brown
House. I followed along behind them,
They turned the comer of the Brown
House, and went on down to Nelson’i
comer. There I lost sight of them. Nel
son's homo is right across from ArtopoT
marble-yard, on the comer of Third and
Plum streets. I returned then in front
of the Brown House, meeting Officer
Grace. I asked him if ho had seen any
thing of a lady and gentleman. Ho said
no, he hadn’t. Grace and myself were
in front of the Brown House, sitting on
tho railing. Across tho street were
Mr. Baer and Mrs. Pike, near the car-
shed, talking. They came, across
to Brown's Hotel, Baer leaving her on the
sidewalk while ho went into the hotel.
He went in, stayed a few minutes and
cams out again on the sidewalk. Said
something to her, but I couldn’t under
stand what it was. Ho went bock into
tho Hotel again. Ho came out and Mr.
Win. F. Brown came out on the front
stoop, and went back into tbe Hotel. Mr.
Baer then remarked to Mrs. Piko if she
wanted to go any further. She said no,
not with him. His answer was, "Well, I
have done for you all I can, and you don't
put up with my offer—my wishes. I’ll
have, to leave you here on the sidewalk.
He left her then and went on down tho
street. Officer Grace and myself offered
onr services to tako her over to Sirs. Phil
lips’ boarding honse. We went there and
eocldn’t wake anyone up. We came up
tho street and she asked if I knew where
Mr. Casey lived. I told her I did. Offi
cer ;Graco and myself come on os
far os Mr. Vannucki’s with her, - on
Third street, itr. Grace left and
told me if sho couldn't get into
Casey’s sho’d better come to the barracks
and stay till morning. I goes around to
Mr. Casey’s bouse with Mrs. Pike, knocked
at the door? and Mrs. Casey came to the
window and wanted to know who it was.
I told her it was Mr. Pike's wife, from
New York, who wanted to stay there till
morning. She said she couldn’t give any
answer without Mr. Casey was at home.
I told Mrs. Pike I would go up to the
City Hall, or go anywhere till she did get
a place to stop at. I then thought of
Mr. Walton's. We went to Mr. Walton’s
and woke him np. He came to tho door.
I told him there was a lady who would
like to stop there till morning. She
went in and he took her name. Then I
left.
