CONYERS. GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1887.
THE FATAL CYCLONE.
DEATH-DEALING STORMS IN MIS¬
SOURI AND ARKANSAS.
Houses Demolished anil Their Inmates
Killed—Whole Families Slain by
Falling Timbers.
Dispatches from Nevada, Mo., confirm
the reports that a fatal cyclone swept
over the northern part of Vernon county
Friday night. The cyclone seemed to
come down Marmadon river from the
Kansas line, dealing death and destruc¬
tion wherever it struck. So far as can
be learned, the first place that it touched
was at Metz township, passing through
Metz, Osage and Blue Mound townships.
Fences, houses, barns aDd everything in
the line of the storm, which was about
half a mile wide, were picked up, rent
into splinters and cast down hundreds of
yards away. Trees were torn up by the
roots. Over thirty houses were destroy¬
ed and about eighteen persons killed.
Only a partial list of the dead has as yet
been obtained.
There were five members of the Miller
family, four of whom were killed. The
baby, aged two years, was found unhurt
Saturday morning.
Parts of the Miller house and furniture
are found strewn over the fields for a
mile from where the house formerly
stood. Reliable new T s has been received
from Osage township and it is thought
that the death roll will be swelled to over
twenty-five.
The cyclone swept through a part of
Vernon county, Mo., doing great damage
to property and killing a number of peo¬
ple. Thirty houses are known to have
been destroyed, and fifteen persons are
said to have been killed.
There were four persons killed out¬
right and several so dangerously wound
ed that they will probably die. Many of
the hailstones weighed from three to five
ounces and some of them measured nine
inches in circumference. The path of
the wind was from three hundred to
four hundred yards wide and the track
left desolation.
A great many reports have been re¬
ceived of minor damages and the escapes
of those whose homes were ruined are al¬
most miraculous. The heavy rain was
attended by an interesting phenomena in
the northern portion of the city of Neva¬
da, Mo. Balls of fire seemed to be fall¬
ing at an angle of forty-five degrees.
They struck the ground and bursting in¬
to myriads of fiery flakes rebounded to¬
ward the east and died away. The ex¬
hibition continued for several minutes.
General damage was done to outbuild¬
ings, fencing, blooming orchards, outside
the immediate track of the cyclone,
while inside, nearly everything is a total
wreck.
A special from Clarksville, Ark., says
a terrible cyclone swept over that county
from west to east, from two to three
miles wide, at seven o’clock Saturday
morning, passing north of Clarksville
and doing fearful badly damage, killing five
persons and wounding twenty parties
others. The houses of all these
were blown down and scattered far and
near.
A tornado, originating in the Indian
territory and moving due east, passed Little
through the country north of
Rock, Ark., and along the line of the
Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad. It
was between a quarter and a half mile
wide, and near Ozark, Franklin county,
began doing great damage to trees,
houses and fences. Farther east, near
the coal hill and Clarksville and Johnson
county the damage was very serious and
many persons were injured. Clarksville John

and a child of Mr. Pettit were A
man named Phillips near Ozark was se¬
verely injured by falling timber. Loss
to the farmers in buildings, fences, stock
and growing crops is heavy but it cannot
be estimated.
The Gazette’s Ozark special says that
currents met in the valley and passed up
the canyon east of town, about the head
of which the funnel appearance of the
cyclone was first seen. A track 300 yards
wide was laid almost bare. Timber and
all sorts of improvements were blown in
every direction.
In Ohio the storm was also severe, and
much damage was done to property, but
no lives are reported lost.
Kentucky also suffered to a considera¬
ble extent.
At Blossom Prairie, Texas, nearly ev¬
ery business house in the place the was
moved from its foundations by cy¬
clone. but nobody was killed.
AN ARCTIC EXPLORER DEAD.
Suicide of Lieutenant Danenhower, of the
Arctic Exploring Party.
Lieutenant John W. Danenhower, of
Arctic fame, was discovered at 10o’clock
Wednesday morning dead in his quarters
at the naval academy, Annapolis, Md.,
with a bullet hole in his right temple.
He was found lying on his rug in front
of the fire place with a tag tied to his
button hole, saying:
11 Send to my brother at Washington.”
Although h,e has had mental trouble
since he returned from the Arctic suicide regions, is
what immediately led to the
thought to have been the recent ground¬ to
ing of the Constellation on its way and for
Norfolk, which he had charge of,
which it is supposed he had fear of being
courtmartialed. Furthermore, he was
very intimate with young Robert W.
Gatewood, who recently committed sui¬
cide on the Carolina, and whom he saw
in death. It is supposed that this death
suggested the mode to him. His wife,
formerly Miss Sloan, of New York, is
away with her parents. Lieutenant
Danenhower leaves two children, tv
was about 35 years old and an intelligent
and polished officer. i

XIDNAPPING A SENATOR.
A Bold Plan lo Gobble General Sherman’*
Brother.
It has just leaked out,’ that a party much of
kidnappers or outlaws, comprising ban¬
of the dangerous elements of Cuban
ditti, had arranged to capture Senator
John Sherman on his recent visit to Cuba.
The project only failed by a notice in
time. The plot was well arranged, and
the banditti were in sufficent force to
capture Sherman’s party, but they left
the plantation intended as the scene of
the outrage just five minutes before the
outlaws appeared. It is thought the
owner of the plantation While in Havana, was a party Senator to
the scheme.
Sherman took occasion to congratulate prevail¬
the captain general on the peace
ing throughout the islands. When the
visit senator, the however, plantation expressed in the a desire interior, to

the military guard was barely sent as escaped an escort,
and the entire party an

A repentant thief dropped his boodle
in a Philadelphia, Pa., confessional re¬
cently. A mysterious stranger entered
St. John’s Roman Catholic church, going
into Father D. L. Broughal’s confession¬

urally, will not divulge. But when the
repentant sinner left the church thirteen
pieces of rich silverware, which, as the
stranger told the priest, had been miss¬
ing for five years, were found in a corner

The treasury vaults contain 2,000 tons

thirty-six PontCrt.Ml Wesleyan Natives

A steamer which has just arrived at San
Francisco brings the latest particulars re¬
garding the attempted assassination of Prem¬
ier Baker, of the Tonga Islands, by converted
Wesleyan natives. The correspondent of the
Sydney (New South Wales) Herald at Suva,
Fiji Islands, writes that Mr. Baker believed
that an organized attempt to hill him and to
overturn the Government was to be made by
the Wesleyans. He sent for soldiers, and
a large number of indiscriminate arrests were

The Tonga or Friendly Islands form a
group in the Southern Pacific Ocean. They
were discovered in 1643 and were visited in
1773-77 by Cook, who gave them the name
of Friendly Islands from the apparently hos¬
pitable reception he met with from the in¬
habitants. It has since been learned that it
was fear alone that prevented the natives
from attackiu ig Cook, many of the natives
being wild and ferocious. There are 182 isl¬
ands, about thirty of estimated which are inhabited, 2o jOOO

to 50,00. They are divided into three groups,
the Tonga being at the south. The cli¬

missionaries and their native partisans,
Croker and many of his officers and men were

devoted to war. The natives offered human
sacrifices and cut off their little fingers and
toes as propitiatory offerings to their other gods.

under the care of the Wesleyan Society of
Great Britain. There are three main mis¬
sionary stations and the smaller islands are
intrusted to the supervision of native teachers.
The art of printing has been introduced
and many of the natives can read and write.
A king rules all the islands. Catholic mis¬

selves in the southern group of islands and
converted many of the natives to that faith.

Pratt, superintendent of Carlisle

30 or 40 young Indians, before removal,
to be instructed at this institution.
The removal is made on account of the
crowded condition of the quarters at
Fort Marion. Although the health of
the Indians has been good,it was thought
advisable to send them to a healthier lo¬
cation, where they will have plenty of
room and be free from the gaze of hun¬

them every time they appear in public.
Mount Vernon is considered as peculiarly situ¬
well adapted to their needs, being
