Cleveland and Stevenson Inducted into Office. Mj Impressive Ceremonies. A MEMORABLE DAY IN THE NATION’S HISTORY. President Clereland’s Inaugural Ad¬ dress—The Great Ball. Grover Cleveland, of New York.thrice nominated for president of the United States and twice elected, was, on Situr- day, successfully inducted into that high office for h s second term, with all ap¬ propriate ceremo.lies and the gathering t M & V PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, of a mighty multitude and with the ac¬ companiment of a blinding snowstorm. But notwithstanding every disadvantage of weather, the last greatest than the first. There are four great leading features of inauguration day: The closing hours of congress, into which so much law¬ making and history are frequently crowded; the ride of the retiring presi¬ dent and tho president and vice presi¬ dent-elect with their military escort from the white house to the capitol to lay down and take up the reins of power r< spectively; the pageant of the return¬ ing procession and review after the cere¬ monies of inauguration are over; and the inaugural ball at night. Had the atmospheric condition been anything like favorable instead of being as bad as could possibly be, there would probably have been sixty thousand men and a number of women marching on riding in the parade, as against twenty- five thousand in 1885. They were all ‘ Ii* f {/wj. I V VICE-PRESIDENT STEVENSON. waiting to fall in line but at the last moment many of the organizations were compelled to desist from participation. Nevertheless the occasion was made mem¬ orable by the vast attendance. Disappointed but undaunted by tho snow, great hosts poured out to partici¬ pate in the second inaugural of Grover Cleveland. The old scenes were repeat¬ ed, the massing of humanity, rank and file, surging crows with thousands fring¬ ing the roof line, the bouyant of legions breasting the storm and marching into the tangle of streets for places in the grand parade, numberless knots and lines of soldiery, gleaming bayonets, ringing bugle calls, the rattle of drums, prancing horses, miles of bunting heavy, with snow and ice flapping in the air. On the great standing terraced wooden stands that lined the avenue people were packed like cigarettes in a bunch, shud¬ the dering with cold, waiting impatiently for pageantry. The galleries built in front of the build¬ ings were black with people and the housetops were friuged with them. Boys climbed trees and hung like fruit on the bare limbs. They clambered like monkeys up ing telegraph frames. poles and perched on awn¬ This was the condition of things at 11 o’clock. From that time on, in and out of tho capitol a vague system was per¬ ceptible through the distracting confu¬ sion. While the troops and civic organ¬ izations were marching back of the capitol the ceremonies inside were going on. The gallerijs of the senate were banked to the doors with beautiful and gorgeously dressed ladies. Then came the judges of the supreme court,their rotund figures outlined in the generous folds of their glossy satin gowDs. Following them, Speaker Crisp led the members and members-elect of the house to their places. There was a slight pause when Vice President-elect Stevenson appeared at the main door on the arm of Senator McPherson. A moment later Mr. Cleve¬ land and Mr. Harrison appeared at the door arm in arm. A slight wave or ap¬ plause swept across the chamber. The two men who have twice been pitted against each other in a great national con¬ test, marched down the aisles together. After the swearing in of Mr. Steven¬ son, and the delivery of his inaugural in a clear, deep voice, the procession form¬ ed and marched to the platform in front of the capitol, where Mr. Cleveland was to take the oath. Tho snow had ceased falling, but the wind was blowing half a gale as the head of the procession emerged from the entrance.

CLEVELAND. a groat shout went up from fifty thou- tands throats as the procession moved down to take their places on the plat¬ form. The cold wind kept many of the ladies back but the judges of the su¬ preme court, the senators and represen- tives heavily muffled in their overcoats braved the storm. Some of Mr. Cleve¬ land’s friends wanted him to deliver his inaugural inside, but he would not lis¬ ten to it. After all had seated Mr. Cleveland arose from his seat between Mr. Harri- son and Chief Justice Fuller and began his inaugural address. The cold wind wa3 blowing fiercely in his face but Mr. Cleveland breasted it sturdily and man- fully. For twenty minutes he spoke, and so penetrating was his voice in the teeth of the wind that much of it was beard, and fifty thousand throats ap¬ plauded the striking points in the ad¬ dress. After it was over President Cleveland and ex President Harrison entered an open carriage drawn by six bay horses, gaily caparison and led the way down the avenue. The procession which mov¬ ed down the Appaiu way of the republic was the greatest civic pageant that ever marched along that historic thorough¬ fare.

Yet night came on apace. Out at the pen¬ sion office in a blaze of light the great ball went on and spinning couples waltzed far into the night. Washington could not feed the crowds, police the streets or provide hotel accommodations, Hotel keepers were distracted, barkeepers went wild, telegraph operators piled messages feet high. Until midnight the crowds pressed up and down the streets. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. The inaugural address was a9 follows: My Fellow Citizens In obedience to the mandate of my countrymen I am about to ded¬ icate myself to their service under the sanction of a solemn oatl „ Deeply moved by the ex¬ pression which of confidence and personal attachment has called me to this service, 1 am sure my gratitude can make no better return than the pledge I now give before God and these witnesses of an unreserved and complete devo¬ tion to the interests and welfare of those who have honored me.

Lhiet Justice Fuller and other persons near the president re- moved their hats, and with bared heads listened to the taking of the oath of office, ’Which was pronounced oy Chief Justice Fuller in a clear voice, Mr. Cleve- land assenting to it by bowing his head and kissing the Bible.

EXERCISES IH THE SENATE. The closing scenes in the senate were doors very interesting. From the time the opened at 10 o’clock until they were closed on account of lack of room at II o’clock, the people poured in. The galleries were packed and jammed until standing room was not to be found. The diplomatic corps gallery was full to overflowing. The space allotted to Mr. Cleveland’s party was soon filkd. Mrs. Cleveland arrived early. Her entree was so quiet that few people knew she was present until some time after. Just back of Mrs. Clevelaud was Mrs. Vice President Stevenson, with her three daught¬ ers. Then came the d fferent la¬ dies of the cabinet, and friends. Early in the morning every member of the senate, who could possibly be in attend¬ ance, was on hand. Everything was bustle and confusion. Every few min¬ utes bills signed by the president were presented, immediately followed bill af¬ ter bill from the house. Business was being rushed. Finally, the diplomatic corps were announced and shortly after¬ wards filed in. Every country, nation, monarchy, principality and republic was represented. followed the The chief diplomatic justice, corps was by the asso¬ ciate justices and the ex associate jus¬ tices. Then came the governors of states, ex-senators, judges of the courts of claims and others. These were fol¬ lowed by the members of the bouse. By this time the floor of the senate was crowded. Then came Presi- dent Harrison and Vice Presi- <!ent Morton, immeoiatefy rollowea by Vice President-elect Stevensou and Presi¬ dent Cleveland. Then Vice-Piesidebt Morton administered the oath of office to his successor, and yielded to him the chair of presiding officer. A special ses¬ sion of the senate of the fifty third con¬ gress was then formally opened with prayer by Chairman Butler. Vice-Presi¬ dent Stevenson rose und addressed the senate: “Senators,” he began, responsibilities “deeply impressed with a sense of its and of its dignity, I now enter upon the discharge of the duties of the high office to which I have been ca'led. I am not unmindful of the fact that among the occupants of this chair during the one hundred and four years of our consti¬ tutional history have been' state men eminent alike for their talents and their tireless devotion to public duty. Adams, Jefferson and Calhoun honored its incipiency during the <arly days of the republic, while Arthur, Hendricks and Mor¬ ton have at a later period of our history shed luster upon the office of president of the most augqpt deliberative assembly known to men. I assume the duties of the great trust confided to me with no feeling of seif-confidence, but rather with that of grave distrust of my ability satisfactorily to meet its requirements. I may be pardoned for saying that it shall be my near¬ est endeavor to discharge the important du¬ ties which lie before me with no less of impar¬ tiality ity. Earnestly and courtesy invoking than of firmness and fidel¬ the co-operation, the forbearance, the charity of each of its members, I now enter upon my duties as presiding officer of the senate.” THE SENATE’S EXTRA 8ES8ION.' As he closed his remarks Mr. Steven¬ son directed the secretary to read the president’s proclamation convening the senate in extraordinary session. Mr. McCook read the proclamation; then the senators newly elected or re-elected, were invited by the vice president to come forward and take the oath of office. They did so, and each escorted by his colleague, and the oath wus solemly ad¬ ministered by the vice president, the senators afterward subscribing the same at the clerk’s desk. All the prelimina¬ ries having been duly disposed of, the vice president directed the sergeant-at- arms to proceed to the execution of the order of the senate relatve to the inau¬ guration of the president of the United States. The procession to the east portico of the capitol where Mr. Cleveland was to be inaugurated was then begun. After the inaugural ceremonies w< ro over the senate returned to its chamber. A committee was ordered to wait on the president of the United States and t > in¬ form him that the senate was organized. Messrs. Blackburn a d Allison were ap- pVnted as such a committee, and at 2:10 o’clock the senate adjourned until Mon¬ day at noon. m Ss A 6 - i 551 ■ iSaaF ■ i»-V» PENSION BUILDING—WHERE THE INAUGURA¬ TION BALL WAS HELP. THB INAUGURAL BALL. By iong custom the inaugural ball has grown to be almost as much a part of the ceremonies of the day as the inaug¬ ural address itself. It is a quadrieonial tribute paid by politics to society. The great pension building presented a gav scene S.turday night. Fancy a chamber nearly one hundred yards in length, more than forty yards in breadth and fifty yards from the floor to the ceiling— for such are the dimensions of the great court where the ball was held. The ball »«d bcea io pro ? «» for «,«. time More presidential party arrived. Many persons of distinction fr ra all parts ol the country-senators, representatives, P™Mnent politicians, governor of stabi s, ‘ fficeis of army anu navy, diplomatists from many lands, militia officers—all i these, with thousands of ladies, formed S re ^ doorway* r w ,\ 1 T?h« of the '“wfjlnS* banding ana and made merry m the ballroom.

The president led the wav, in a tour of the ball room, ! ou the arm of General Scofield, while Mr. Cleveland followed under the escort of Justice Gray, of the supreme court. Following them came Colonel aad Mrs. ! Daniel S. Lamont, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson g Bissell, with their, daughter-in-law; Hoke Smith, Mr .and Mrs. J. St-rliug jporton, Mr . and M rs.

As the party ‘, enter- ed the Marine band at a si „ n from the doorway, started up with “Hail to the Qbief ' The g reates t interest was manifested in M rg> Cleveland. A few miuutes only were consumed in the circuit of the ball- | room and then Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland j and their party went upstairs to their ! apartments and there received a large j senators and representatives, foreign ministers and officers of the army and navy. The secretary of the navy, Mr. Herbert, then joined the party with Miss Herbert. The vice presidential party arrived at the hour of 10 o’clock and the circuit of the hall was made in a manner similar to that of the presiden¬ tial party. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, with their son. daughters and friends who accom¬ panied them to Washington, thmi joined the president ai d Mrs. Cleveland in their rooms. President and Mrs. Cleveland left the ballroom at half past 10 o’clock. The S’evenson family remained later, as did also several members of the party who came with the Clevelands. Precise¬ ly at 12 o’clock the band struck up “Home Sweet Home,” and the assem¬ blage quietly dispersed, The whole proceedings were niarko ! by a staid and stately decorum more characteristic of an ancient minuet than of a modtru ball. CYCLONE SWEPT. Death anil Destruction in tie Comities ot leriietlier, Troop ani Pike, A Number of People Killed and Much Property Destroyed. A fearfully destructive cyclone swept over Troup. Meriwether and Pike coun¬ ties Friday night. At Greenville, Meriwether county, three- fourths of the town was completely de¬ stroyed. The cyclone was preceded by a brilliant electrical display that aroused the fears of all. In a few minutes the continuous lightning flishea were suc¬ ceeded by an ominous roaring sound, and almost instantly the storm swept over the ill-fated town on its mission of destruc¬ tion. In ten seconds the accumulations of years were swept to the four winds of the earth. Several people were caught under the falling houses, bu 1 ', strange to say, there was only one death in the town from the cyclone. In the lower part of Troup county the storm played fearful havoc. Residences, trees, houses baroes, fences, sheds—in fact, almost everything standing was blown down and torn to peices in the track of the storm. Horses, mules and cattle were killed by wholesale. No loss of human life is reported. SIX KILLED AT ODESSA. Telephone advices from Odessa, Meri¬ wether county, state that there were only three houses left standing and six per¬ sons killed. Odessa is a properous town on the Macon and Birmingham railroad. PIEDMONT WIPED OUT. The little town of Piedmont, in Pike county, was almost totally destroyed. Only three houses are left standing and fifteen lying in ruins, some with not one piece of timber upon another. One young lady, Miss Daisy Hawkins, was killed instantly. Thirteen or fourteen other persons are lying seriously injured, some thought to be fatally. To see the destroyed village you only wonder that any of the inhabitants escaped alive. THR0U9H THE COUNTRY. One mile beyond Peidmont Dr. Harp’s residence, outhouses, and barns were qlown down, a complete wreck. On his plantation one negro was killed and a negro woman seriously injured. Beyond Dr. Harp’s lived a man by the name of Pressley. It is reported that he went to the door when the wind began to blow and no traces nave been found of him since. On the Thomaston road Mr. Andrew Riviere was instantly killed and his wife and daughter painfully injured. The house was blown down and away so that there is hardly a thing left to mark where the house stood. AU along the line of the storm there is a vast amount of distress. From many of the poor the last meal and the only suit of clothes were swept away and nothing left them but the drenched night robes in which they had retired the night before. The loss of property, not to say anything of the suffering, is great and cannot be estimated. The citizens who have been out to fee and help the unfor¬ tunate give a most gloomy account.

Bill Nye advertises his cow for sale as fellows: Owing to ill health, I will sell at my residence in township nineteen, range nineteen west, according to gov¬ ernment survey, one plush raspberry-col¬ ored cow, aged eight years. She is a good milkster and not afraid of the cars or anything else. She is of undaunted courage and gives milk frequently. To a man who does not fear death in any form, she would be & great boon. She is very much attached to her house at present by means of a stay chain, but she will be sold to anyone who will agree to use her right. She is one-fourth short¬ horn and three-fourths hyena. I will also threw in a double barrel shot gun which goes with her. In May she gen¬ erally goes off somewhere for a week or i wo, and returns with a tall, red calf, with long, wobbly legs.

At forty years of age he retired from business with an am¬ ple fortune, laid out a garden, planted an arboretum, and devoted the remainder of a long life to the care and develop¬ ment thereof. He died in 1889. By his will he devised these grounds and nearly his entire estates to trustees named therein to establish and maintain a bo tanic garden with museum and library connected therewith, to be devoted to the science of botany, horticulture, and allied objects. And this “Missouri Botanical Garden” is in successful op¬ eration. The apprised value of the es tate in 1890 was $3,000,000, yielding at that time $50,000, although a large amount of the property is unimproved real estate in the outskirts of St. Louis, and will in coming time become of im¬ mense value. This will make this botanic garden the best endowed institution of the kind that ever existed, and will make St. Louis the botanical centre of the new world, and draw students from •very quarter of the globe. Six scholar¬ ships have been founded, each for six years [for scholars from fourteen to twen¬ ty years of age], the instruction to be on economic botany and entomology, with such land surveying and book keeping as is necessary for the management of large estates; but each candidate must have a natural taste fur the manual labor of gardening, and receive thorough training in it.
