Sioux City, la., May 3.—Sioux oouj-
ty was devastated liy a terrific cyclone
this afternoon. The storm came fr *m
the nortlnv st, and struck Sioux Oetilry,
it small town forty-f.ve miles norm at
this point, at to'ciock- Telegraphic >*e
ports from the scene of the storm are
very meagre, the wires being down, lot
it is understood that a considerable
number were killed and injured. Tot*
first reports were received by the Sioux
City and Northern Railroad from the’t
agent at 'Sioux Centre. The dispatch
read: “Cyclone passed three miles
jiortliwest of here. School house near
Rown bio wii down. Teacher killed, and
several children killed and injured. The
exact number and names have not yet.
been learned- Tlrr whole coutry in t v e;
track of the storm has been devastated.
The Sioux City and Northern tracks be¬
tween Perkins and Noon are washed
out for several miles ”
Dispatch, s from S otix Centre at S:10
say that three school houses and at
least twenty barns mid residences near
that place were swept away, At the
school houses two tiachers and three
pupils were killed, and many injure i.
Two women were found dead about 8
o'clock near the ixiint where one of tine
school buildings stood, One man who
arrived in Sioux Centre late in the even¬
ing reported that ins liotu-e was blown
away, and his fam.lj killed. He himself
escaped, and. says that at least a huu
dred pei,ole must, -have been killed.
Parties have been sent out. from, Hull,
Kikiux Centre and Orange City, neigth-
boring towns, but tlheir work is being
carried on ii. total darkness and in the
midst of a tremendous wind and rain
storm. It is consequently progressing
slowly.
A number of lxwlios have already been
recovered, although the exact number
canniot be learned. Every one is vio-
lentiy excited and definite accounts can-
not be obtained.
It'is said that Pea-kins, a
between Sioux Centre and l)oon, was
directly in die path of the storm and
was almost entirely wipe 1 out. The
wires leading to it are all dow|n. 'Hie
tracks are all warbed out and tihe roads
jaiinot lie safely traveled over owing
I, tlie manner in -which they were bat¬
ed by -the rain. It is consequently no
etett#y matter to reach it. Physicians have
already been sent out from Hull, Orang*.
City and Sioux Centre, but are meeting
with every conceivable obstacle dn their
effort to reach the scene of tihe storm.
Help has nlot been requested from
here, hut if the statement of damage
continue to come, in a train may lie
sent. out.
liatest. news was received froan Sibley
1" the effect, that a storm struck there
at 5 p. mu, destroying the house of
John Watterson. killing Mrs. AVatter-
son and injuring Wattersou and his son.
No names can yet be learned of the
people injured alunit Sioux Centre and
Perkins. The Sioux City and Northern
it rain, which arrived at 10 o’clock this
evening, brought several passengers who
witnessed tihe storm. They reported
that thirteen deid had been lirought
into Sioux Centre at <S p. fm. It is esti-
i,iinted that fifty people must have been
killed.
The Northern train barely escaped «
smash-up in a wariliiou't near Doon, but
was stopped by section men before ii
passed upon the dangerous territory.
At Perkins the loss of Jfe is said to
have been very large, probably not less
than .'! > or 40. This with the number
killed on farms about tile country must
bring the nuniper up to nearly ffo or
100- it is difficult to determine to-
night what the less to properly will
amount to, but from nil reports it must
be enormous.
At lit o’clock word was received that

of this place a score of people lost their
lives during the cyclone Which swept
GRAY, JONES COUNTY, GA., MAY 9, 1895
down from the north. The storm did
not reach here in its most furious form
or the fatality must have been frightful.
It was most violent half a mile east of
the town. There the farm house of
Herman Belkwintp -was completely de¬
molished ami Mrs. Bel Lamp and two
children killed. A mile further on'the
storm struck the dwelling of John Wnl-
terinnn, reducing it to kindling wood.
Mrs. Waltenmiam was struck on the
head by a flying piece of joist and in¬
stantly killed . Her husband was serious¬
ly hurt and Win. AVaRerman's shoulder
was crushed. Airs. Waltcrinan hold her

Word from Sioux Centre at 11 o’clock
says that Miss Anna Marsdcn was among
the killed. She was a teacher at what was
-known as the Combs school house seven
miles north’of Sioux Centre. Fully one-
half of her pupils are said to have been
killed or injured, but none of their names
have yet been learned. The parents of
many of the children escaped tho storm
and are nearly frantic with anxiety to
learn whether their little ones are dead
or alive. Miss llarsden’s brother, who
taught school two miles north of tho
Combs building was allso killed. As near¬
ly as can bo learned tho towns that suf¬
fered were Perkins, Sibley, Doon, Hull
and Sioux Centre, Sioux Centre and Hull
were only grazed by the edge of the
storm and no fatalities are reported from
either of them. Tho number of killed at
Doon is now stated at ten. Four or live
will probably cover the list of dead at
Sioux Centre.
Later Reports.
Sioux City. la.. May 3.--—Later re¬
ports say tfliait ten were killed at Doon
and throe at Perkins. Thirteen dead
bo lies have been brought into Sioux
Centre. The tornado jumped forty miles
northeast to Sibley, Osceola county.
Five are reported killed there. The storm
appeared to have originated one and a
half -miles southwest of Sioux Centre.
From there it moved across the country
in a northeasterly direction, crossing
the Sioux City and Northern track nhout
two m'i'l'es north of Sioux Centre. About
half a mile beyond it seems to have
changed its course to tlie northwest and
struck Perkins and Sibley.
I NOYLLED FOIt EXCITEMENT.
The 14owlish Parliament Not About
To He Dlsaolved.
By Southern Associated Press.
London, May 3.—The stories of great
excitement over the dissolution of Par¬
liament are purely fiefltious. It is uni¬
versally assumed that the present Par¬
liament will not survive the year and it
is beliuved that Sir William Harcourt in
his remark that probably he would not
present another budget merely recogniz¬
ed this likelihood. At any rate, this is
the Liberal views of It, but- the! Conserva¬
tives would naturaMy take the opposite
view.
The Ceutral News lobby correspondent
says there is not the smallest information
for the alarmist interpretation put upon
Sir William Harcourt’s remark regarding
his last budget. A Cabinet minister told
the correspondent that Sir William’s
words had been hastily assumed lo mean
much, while in fact they amounted to
little.

posted on the New York Cotton Ex¬

quest that all parties holding ojien onn-
tracts with the firm should immediately

By Southern Associated Press.
London, May 3.—The Paris (orres-
pendent of The Daily News says, regard¬
ing tlie recent bursting of the Bouscy
dam: “There is no longer any doubt
that tin* disaster was due to the incapa¬
city of the State engineers. The iTiim
was composed of various kinds of st vie 1 ,
some friable and others much affected
liy the frost. The cement was also bad.
The dam begun to bulge in 1885 and the
guard reported it to lie in a bad state
in 1803, but he was rebuked and sent
elsewhere, and nothing was done. The
water had long poured through the fis¬
sure in jets ten yards Cong. Some en¬
gineers had long spoken of the condi¬
tion of the dam as niu-t dangerous. The
pressure also was greater than the rules
of engineering allow."

New York, May 3. — Bradstrcet's to¬

trade has resulted in nil ill-crease in the
\ 0 l 11 me of business notwithstanding the
Impending 'idleness of 51.000 worsted mill
operatives and niiiny in other industrial
lines. Industrial unrest now takes the
form of striking for higher wages. This
week about OO.(XX) industrial employes
have struck, ar.d the tendency does not
seem to be checked. About 3,000 people
arc reported to 'have obtained higher
wages w'ithout striking.

J{. G. Dun & Co's. Report.
New- York, May 3.—It. G. Dun & Co’s,
weekly review of trade tomorrow win
say: Business begins May better than
at any other time since the break down
in May, 1893. Smaller in volume than
then, it is not now shrinking, but en¬
larging. The chief obstacle to a complete
recovery is the anxiety of many to pluck
fruit tve fore it is ripe. Holders of some
"staples have lifted them so far as to pre¬
vent their marketing; consumption of
materials in some branches is checked by
advances which cannot be realized for
finished products; workers in some In¬
dustries are demanding wages that can¬
not be paid out. of any business in sight.
In spite of labor troubles, and specula¬
tive excess, the outlook brightens and
money- markets continue healthy and with
heavy sales of railway bonds abroad, the
deficiency in public revenue of $8,742,810
in April causes no apprehension. De¬
mands for full restoration of wages to
the level of 1892 have closed many woolen
mills and threaten to close others em¬
ploying about, 9,000 hands at Olneyville
and about Providence, and have arrested
work at other mills of some importance
already. Similar demands made in cotton
mills of Massachusetts.
Tno strike which closed the iron fur-
naccs at New Castle, Pa., has just ended
without success, but other strikers have
stopped numerous works about Pittsburg
and others are threatened. Exaggerated,
accounts of recovery in business so often
published and some times prompted by
manufacturers themselves make It not
entirely strange if operatives fall to see
that the business in the great Industries
is without profit and much of the work¬
ing force ts still unemployed. The specu¬
lative fever grows more fierce as is na¬
tural when business starts up with prices
at extreme low points, and the prices of
staples have gone above the exporting
points. The strike at New Castle furnaces
stiffened pig so that $10.55 was quoted at
Pittsburg and the closing of a Wheeling
mill stiffened billets while Southern mak¬
ers have nominally advanced their price
though sales havo been made here under
$10 for No. 2. Additional contracts for
structure work here and at Chicago sales
of 7,000 tons of rails at the East, a better
demand for wire and Its products ahd for
plates and sheets are the encouraging
Diaturi'S of the week. Cotton ties are a
shade higher at 55 cents per bundle and
wire nails at 85 cents and cut: nails at
70 cents by car 'load are less demoralized.
Consumption does not yet equal the ca¬
pacity of tho works or output of pig, but
Improves. Late in the week important
slrikes in Iron works about Pittsburg
threaten serious disturbances. Another
heavy decrease of 11,667 tons in output of
coke makes the shrinkage nearly 28 per
cent, in two weeks and furnace is offered
at $1.10.
Anthracite coal agents agreed to mine
only three days of the weak In May hut
prices are unchanged. V> indow glass
makers have adopted a new scale for the
two lower brackets, 50 cents higher fhan
txifore. The remarkable rise In leather
continues and yet shipments of boots and
shoes from Boston for April was slightly
larger than two years ago or ever be¬
fore, and most, of the works have orders
for three or four months production at a
material advance in prices. The chief
embarrassment. Is uncertainty as to the
future price of leather. The rise in prices
of cotton goods also continues. The wool¬
en year ends with the lowest prices yef
known. Failures in 25 days of April
shows liabilities of $8,536,960 of which $3,-
614.736 were of manufacturing and $5,705,-
650 of trading ooneerns. I.ast year in four
we ks ending April 26, liabilities were
$8,826,862 of which $3,087,220 were of manu-

By Southern Associated Press.
Klueflelds, \V. Va.. May 3 .-TI 10 strik¬
ers have decided to hold a Sunday iiush
meeting on the West Virginia side. They
will assemble between the two tunnels
just this side of the Tazewell county line.
Addresses arq to be given at 2 o'clock In
lho afternoon and Messrs McBride, Law¬
less, Yard ley and others of almost equal
prominence are billed to appear. I'm s
labor leaders will malic a direct auueal
to the people of the southwest company’s
mines to join in the movement. Resides
there will lie a general discussion of the
the strike, Its cause, and probable out¬
come. The strikers have chosen a central
place advantageous for the meeting and
It is expected that not less than a thous¬
and men will be on the grounds. The Im¬
pression lias gone abroad that the place
was selected for prudential reasons. Citi¬
zens generally In Pocohontas, do not
want the risk of a collision in the town
nor do they want the working miners in¬
terfered with. On the other hand the
strikers appear to be studying how to
reduce the dangers of an armed conflict
to the minimum.
The deputies and others in and around
Pocohontas who are charged with the
protection of property and the preserva¬
tion of order will not have jurisdiction In
Mercer county and the Sunday meeting
can be held with little danger of an out¬
break. Not less than half a dozen meet¬
ings were held by strikers this afternoon
hut nothing of Importance occurred. The
Pocohontas mine shipped 75 ears of coal
and twenty of coke today, a slight In¬
crease over yesterday. It ts expected that
Sunday’s mass meeting will cither result
In tlio calling out of all the miners or the
collapse of the strike.
