6 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, OCTOBER 4, 1881 OVER THE GRAVE IN MEMORY OF THE LATE PRESI DENT GARFIELD. The Oration of Captain Henry Jackson. on the Occa sion of the Obsequies to the Late President of the United (States, at SeOive's Opera House, on September 26th, 1881. fx response to hundred* of requests, wc print- in full Captain Jackson???s admirable and eloquent address at the opera house. It is a remarkable piece of oratory, full of noble sen timent, and will timl wide circulation: Fifty millions of j??eople,of every shade of po litical opinion,of every phase of religious belief, descended from all nations of the tfie earth, inhabitingevery section of this great republic, the mountains and the valleys, stand to-day before an ojien grave, with heads l>owcd in sorrow and humiliation???sorrow for greatness struck down at the very zenith of its glory??? sorrow for the suffering widow and orphans??? humiliation for the stain upon their national life???humiliation for the suddenly develo|ied jxissihilities of their peculiar institutions. Czars, and emiieront, ami kings, with the royal diadem upon the brow, and the sword of ini|K'rial despotism within tlie grasp, have fallen before the assassin, and whilst the shock was severe, yet no such spoctaclc as this was presented. The president of this re public once before fell by the hand of vio lence, but that was fresh upoif the clash of contending armies, the st niggles of hostile factions, and the battle for national ex istence, But now, in a time of profound peace, in a period of unpurarailclcd national prosperity, at the very moment when the bitterness between the sections, between the two great jsditical parties, was at its lowest ebb, when the national sun was shining with peculiar brightness, when the goddess of liberty was radiant at the returning pros- jierity and glory of her people, the head of the government dies at the hand of one of its citizens! That such an event, at such a time, should have produced a shuck to the Ameri can people, would be expected, but no such spectacle as is exhibited to-day, as lias been Observed for the last three months, could have been anticipated. What means it? It is due to the fact that the career of Pres ident Barfield demonstrates to the American ]>eopIc, to the entire world, in a striking and dramatic manner, tlic possibilities of our in stitutions both for tiie highest good and the direst evil. Whilst Ills life presents a most extraordinary illustration of what may he accomplished by the individual man over adverse circumstances, under Hie b uiguaut influences of our governmental eyj tern, it places side by' side with the mag nificent example, the proliable effect of popu lar freedom, of ]Kilitical contention, upon a weak mind and a warped nature. Adverse circumstances,boldly met, grappled with from the cradle t<> the grave, and never more hero ically than when life was on the wane, led tiarlicld from the plow to the presidency of a great and free people. The same circumstan ces, operating upon a feeble brain and a diseased nature, led Guiteau from obscurity to the highest pinnacle of emblazoned infamy, and have placed him upon the pages of his tory, in conspicuous loneliness, the sole assassin midst all the crime of the past, who. without cause or reasonable pretext, struck to the garth him whom fifty millions of freemen had voluntarily elevated to the highest position Tiie friend of republican institutions, as lie contemplates the dire tragedy, looking to the career of the dead president, will exclaim, ??????Surely here is the perfection of government, because it permits tiie highest development of individual manhood in all tiie relations of life," whilst the creature of despotic power, beholding the assassin, will answer, *???8ee the effect of too much freedom!??? Whether Guiteau was sane or insane, the force that sent the fatal shot was ]>olilicul, and it was begot ten by unholy party contention. Let us then, over this open grave, os we sailly deposit therein all that is left of the head of ourgreat republic, endeavor to carry out the work of conciliation which he himself hud begun. In differences of political opinion, are we not, north and south, too intolerant, too vin- die ivc? The entire south is now mourning over tiie tragic death of one whom, a short time since, it regarded as but little less than an enemy. In this sad hour, how many a word unkindly sjioken, how many a line un kindly written, would we recall, but it is too late! Why cannot IhhIi sections appre ciate the fact that God's sun shines over all, and that everywhere is to be found both good and evil? Let us realize tiiat the mere fact that one differs with us iu opinion does not make him depraved. or authorize its to conclude that we stand upon a pinnacle of righteousness, whilst lie is a son of ??utan. However wc may have differed in the past, it seems to Ik* now conceded that the dead presi dent was both a good and great man. Twenty years since, how was Abraham Lincoln re garded amongst us? and yet to-day, however much we may have differed with him in jm>- litieal opinion, there is scarcely a southern nian who does not admit that lie was both honest and great, and that his tragic fate Wits the greatest blow the south ever received. This intensity of political feeling is not pecu liar to our section; it is found also at the north, but let us now, in God's name, bury it forever. Differ men always will, but let them reason together, adapt the good and eschew the evil. The short period of Gar field???s administration demonstrated that lie proposed to be the president of a free and united people, not of a party or a section, and it was the firm manner in "which lie was developing this policy, o]H>rating upon a de praved heart and feeble brain, that probably caused his death. Possibly, bis tragic fate, the magnificent heroism exhibited in his last days, and the unshakable anguish through which lie passed, will accomplish more to wards the softening of party spirit, the lmrnio- nizingofall sections, than he livingcould have achieved. Then, indeed, liis death has not been in vain! But tiie shot of tiie assassin 1ms demon strated one fact beyond all perudventure, the attachment of the people of the south to the federal union. Personally, they knew not the president, politically, they differed with him, and yet. when violence touched with profane hand the executive head of the gov ernment, every man, woman and child cried out with indignation and humiliation. They prayed that he might not prove to be a south ern man who tlius stood forth before tiie civil i*ed world as the embodiment of lawlessness nnd crime, and for nearly three months they watched with hated breath every bulle tin that came from the chamber of death. It was demonstrated that however tlic people of this country might contend among them selves, woe to him who touched with hostile hand any symbol of national sovereignty! Garfield no longer belonged alone to Ohio, the west, or the north???lie was the president of a free and united people, and as the liend of the government, every southern man felt that he was in part his representative???that to strike him was to strike the republic, ami that when lie fell ???then you, and 1, and all of ns fell with him." The lsilt caiue from a cloud less sky and went straight to a great nation's bean. In the midst of joy an entire people was thrown into mourning. Mysterious in deed are the ways of Providence, and often past the understanding of mortals, but surelv the great sacrifice will develop some good somewhere. A giant tree has fallen, but midst the crash of the elements and the fury of tiie storm, a voice &js heard crying: "Peace, be still,??? and quiet reigns, though an aching void be left. A brilliant star has passed from tiie firmament, but its path upward has illumined tlic world, and has shown to it, side by side, the heights of hu man greatness ami the depths of human de pravity. . A great ruler is no more, but thanks to the wisdom of our forefathers, peace and order still reign, though it be in'the house of mourning. Most appropriate is it that here in Atlanta should these memorial services be held. She herself lias felt the hand of violence, but from the charred ashes of the past has been evolved the spirit that lias made her what she is to day, and that is still looking to future devel opment. tihe is the representative city of the new south, and it is meet that here should southern flowers lie placed ujion the bierof the dead president. We have done ull that was in our power to honor his memory. The capitol of our dear old state is draped iu mourning,our streets wear the habiliments of sorrow, and the countenances of our people show that each has individually felt the cruel blow to the country. The name of the heroic wife ??? <tan scarcely be mentioned without the tear of sympathy, anil the high est evidence of our "devotion is evinced by our realization that as her dead husband was a magnificent example of the individual de velopment of man under our institutions, so does site constitute a lovely illustration of tlic perfection of American womanhood. Well could she exclaim in her anguish why was tiie cruel blow inflicted upon her? but tiie answer can alone come from the eternal throne of God. Fifty millions of devoted people bleed for her, and from the humble ealnn of the former slave to the marble palace of wealth and power, swell up the wails of sym pathy. as broadband as deep as humanity* it self. "site ami her orphaned children are clasped to the national heart in an embrace that will endure forever. Death approaching with solemn tread, the mind wandered anil went hack from the lied of torture to the happy home at Mentor; once again he was tiie proud husband, tiie affectionate father, the respected citizen, and thence, from that earthly paradise, through the mercy of Providence, after all his long and weary suffering,was but a step to the joys of heaven. President Garfield died at the highest pinna cle of human greatness. Hound by round lie had mounted the ladder, the last of which rests upon tiie jasper pavements among the im mortals, and as tuc orphan boy, with weary tread and many a fall, rose among tiie battlements of "the golden city above tiie clouds, where all is sunshine and glory, it was duty that beckoned him onward, it was duty that urged him forward, and on the monumental shaft that a grateful country will erect to commemorate his services, no loftier inscription can lie placed than that of ???Duty fully performed.??? ???Yet not to thine eternal resting-i>lace Shalt thou retire alone, nor coulilst thou wish Couch more magnificent. Thou shult He down With patriarchs ol tiie infant world???with kings, Tiie powerful of the earth???tiie wise, tiie good. Fair forms???and hoary seers of ages past, Ail iu one mighty sepulchre. Tiie hills, Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun???the vales Stretching iu pensive quietness between; The venerable woods???rivers that move In majesty, nnd the complaining brooks That make tiie meadows green; uud poured round all. Old ocean's gray and melancholy waste??? Are hut the solemn decorations oil Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun, The plnuets, all the infinite host of heaven. Are shining on the sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages.??? Around this bier are gathered the mighty sov ereigns of the old world, and the sovereign people of the new, to do honor to departed greatness. But as the mind glances down the vista of tlic past, and sees the plow-boy at work on the farm, tin? tow-boy on tiie canal, tiie student at college, tiie soldier facing death for bis country, tiie brilliant legislator and party leader, and, finally, the president of these United States, the question presents it self, who more worthily wears the crown of immortality, the royal descendant of kings,or lie who is the architect of his own fortunes? Kings and queens and princes do him honor now, and tiie American people are profoundly grateful for the tribute, but methinks, as the mourners pass the liter, and each drops ui>on it the tear of sorrow, that the soul of the depart ed plumes its pinions for a loftier flight, and rises to a higher pinnacle of joy, as it lieliohl tiie former master and slave, side by side, placing upon the tomb the emblem of love and grief. Though the president lie dead, thank God the republic still lives! The strain upon our institutions will teach us how to strengthen them, nnd as we, of all raccsnnd opinions, nnd conditions, pluck each a flower to place upon his bier from the laurel of the mountain to the lily of the valley, aud the magnolia of the south, let us once again realize that wc are one people, Aiuitcri not only in form, but by tiie harmonious opera tion of common institutions, inherited from our revolutionary ancestry and sacred to us all. Could the mute lips of the dead presi dent speak, he would tell us that his tragic fate had borne good fruit, if it resulted in cementing by the renewed bonds of brotherly love the union of our forefathers, and as our noble country, purified by the suffering of the past, resumes her place at the head of the grand triumphal march of civilization, the American citizen, wherever his wanderings may have carried him, whether from snow capped Alps, or burning desert, or luxuriant tropic, will point with pride to the land of his birtlt aud the institutions of his country. they were met by Dr Fox, one of the police com- I mMouen, who was drawn to the place : by the loud yells and oaths. As they attempted to j enter the alley leading to tlic side door of the build- ' ing. Ilr Fox faced the entire mob and ordered them to halt, lie was armed with a small stick alone.and although knives were plainly visible in thecnavd. he prevented the building from being entered by the wild mob who had lost their reason. As soon as the officers could turn their prisoners over to Mr. s-pyers, the station-house keeper, they came to Doctor Fox???s relief, and iu a few seconds .the pavement was cleared, though the streets were filled with a wild scethiug mass of of mnddeuened individuals. The noise made during tiie trouble drew quite a crowd of people who tendered Dr. Fox their services in quelling the disturbance. Among those who proffered their aid in maintaining the peace were several color ed men who had seen the ??? whole affair anil knew the true status of the difficulty. Hut Dr Fox proved his judgment as cor rect, as his nerve was good and in a short while succeeded in convincing the crowd that they were aggravating the matter by attempting to interfere w ith the officers iu the discharge of their duty. But hardly had peace been restored when another arrest urronsed tiie eir of the mol). Again the police had found it neces sary to arrest a darkey on Marietta street, and as they came around tiie comer of l???rvor and Ala bama tlic sight maddened, the mob'aud another effort wils made to release a prisoner. This time Dr Fox ordered the police -present, about six or eight, to clear the street, and-iii a second the entire crowd was driven across Pryor, leaving the street near the station bouse perfectly clear. For a few minutes the scene was an interesting one. The street was packed with the colored people' all seeking safety from a few advancing policemen led by Commis sioner Fox. Although there was a great deal of noise made, no one was hurt except a Mr Miller, who was struck by an unknown man. The policemen made no effort to injure the darkeys, but simply to drive them from the street, and after a few arrests succeed ed in doing so. The darkeys, as they gave hack, resist cd with all their might. Stones aud sticks were their weapons and it was by a stone that Mr Miller was hurt. The rock was a large one and was hurled with great force. It struck him over the left eye aud made a bad wound. When tiie darkies saw that they were compelled to give iu they did so, but us they moved away they swore vengeance upon the police. When the whole affair was over the calaboose eon tuined John Burke, the originator of the difficulty, Nathan Burke, his brother, Allen Gresham, J J Wright, Arch Cherry, Henry Mathews, Walter John son, Kelly Moore, George Montgomery and l???ompey Jones. None of these, except John Burke, hud a scratch to show for the trouble he had occasioned. Birike's head was marked iu two or three places by the policeman???s baton, but none of the cuts amount to anything. The difficulty is due entirely to the rude conduct of Burke nnd the efforts of his frieuds to release him. A portion of the opera house had been set apart for the coluted people, and no one disputed his right to enter. Hail he passed the lady quietly as he could have doue there would have liven no necessity for his arrest. When the officer took hold of him he ought to have submitted, llis friends had no business to attempt his release and several colored men not only tried to persuade them to desist, but aided the police iu conveying him to the station house. Atlanta???s colored population ought to learn that they can make nothing by interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty, aud the sooner they learn it the better it will be for them. There are those who recognize this, and yesterday many of them busied themselves in advising their race to leave the officers and their prisoners alone. During the day the colored people, who jKirticliKUed iu the exercises, conducted themselves with commendable propriety, and when the row occurred went so far as to express their willingness to aid in suppressing it. in one instance they arrested one of the belligerent race aud turning him over to the police directed his detention. The negroes participating in the diffi culty were of that class which frequent; every ton them town. They ore always ready for a row, and if one doesn???t occur they are sure to make it. The affair is as much re gretted by the better class of colored people us by the whites. After the fight was over a negro man was ordered bva United States soldier to move away from a stack of guns in front of the opera-house. He declined to obey when the soldier came to a charge and pene trated his ribs with the point of a bayonet. Liter iu the evening a negro became very indignant at tiie manner iu which his race hail becu treated and gave a regular matinee near Berry???s drug store, on Peachtree street. His language was loud, profane and abusive, and attracted the atten tion of Officers Stroud anil Bone, but before they could secure him tiie indignant darkey skimicd out and sought safety iu the neigh borhood of the Southern medical college. , Just as the exercises were ending a party of darkeys made assault ujioii a gentleman on Decatur street, near the Kimball house, who was trying to lead a dray horse through the crowd, but the sight of a knife caused them to disperse. \ The unfortunate occurrence is due entirely to Burke???s impertinence and his friends want of dv cretion. At one time it looked as though Atlanta would be involved in a terrible riot, but the nerve of her |nilice,hcatlcd by Dr Fox aud Chief Anderson, prevented it. To Dr Fox, more than any one else, Atlanta owes the preservation of pence yesterday. Chief Anderson's duties kept him busy with the procession, aud had not Dr Fox been at the station house when the effort was made to release Burke's brother and his friend, there would surely have been bloodshed. . A LITTLE DIFFICULTY That Almost Promised to Rise to the Dignity of Riot. As the last of the immense throng was entering tiie opera house, Monday evening, a difficulty oc curred which came near ending iu u riot of great magnitude. Among the police stationed at the op era house went officers. Stroud aud Christophitie, who were instructed to keep the pavement dear in order to allow the audience to pass in without being crashed to death. Their mission had nearly been completed, when John Burke, a negro uoy, who caiue to Atlanta from Griffin, rudely pushed a white lady off the side- walk, in onier to gain the stairway leading to the oiiera house, but just as lie was bounding up the steps, Officer Christopliine, who saw the brutal act, having picked the lady up, grabbed Burke for the purpose of taking him to the cala boose. When the officer hist grappled the boy he jerked away, but tiie second time Christopnene caught him anil begun pulling him down the steps. When file pavement was reached Burke og..ia jerked from the officer and striking at him began backing toward tile street. The difficulty between the i-olid-man aud Burke attracted tiie attention of Officer 8troud, who went to Uhristophiue's aid, but Burke yet declined to give in, and continued to strike at the officer*, hitting them several times in tile face. Seeing his inability to cope with file negro. Stroud began to use liis stiek over Burke's head, anil finally succeeded in get ting his nippers on his- arm. During the affray several darkies attempted to prevent the oflioers from arresting I???urk by crowding around him and by pushing the poUce away, This they continued to do even after the arrest and until Captain Bngby ordered tho entire section of iMilice on duty at the opera house to aid in clearing the mob from around the policemen and their prisoner. When the poliee began this task there was a general resistance and several bloody heads was the result. There ure ut least five hundred colored people ulxint the opera house, and as there was only a half dozen police, they felt sure of a success, but before they could break by Bagbv anil his lid. Stroud ami Christopliine had readied the station house with Burke. The mol) seeing themselves defeated begun yelling, cursing anil defying the officers to such an extent that Captain itaguy was com]>elleil to onier the ajre.st of several persons who wurepnmiinent in their riotous conduct, but in their effort to obey the captain???s orders, a general fight ensued. Tiie gu us belonging to the 5th Artillery which had been snicked in front of the building were knocked to the ground and an effort made by the negroes to possess them, but the prompt action of the guard prevented tlu-ir use except iu one case. For a few seconds the air was wild with the shouts aud oaths of the infuriated moh, os they advanced upon the police, hut so steady were they iu their defense that the difficulty was tiually quelled after several arrests, had been made, while the fracas was at its alti tude a negro woman. Who it was aftewards learned is Burke's mother, picked up one of the guns aud placing the end of the barrel in Officer lieuiiard's lace, pulled the trigger, but os luck would have it I fiie gun was not loaded. Seeing themselves unable to prevent the arrest of their associates, the mob followed the officers to- * wart is the station house, unit just as they reached I the corner of Fryor anil Alabama streets made a I rush upon them. As they advanced fire- air was 1 filled with such shouts as. ???itclcase him," "turn him loose.??? ???don???t let ???em lock him up,??? "cut their d???n throats,??? etc. But this did not terrify the poliee, anil in a short time Nathan Burke and Allen Grissom were in thecalalxose with John Burke, the darkey . who caused the whole difficulty. The mob, more than twohuudred s-trong. followed the officers to the very station house door, where QUINCY???S FATAL TORNADO. Almost the Entire City Devastated by the Storm. Quincy, 111., September 25.???One of the most tcaribly destructive tornadoes ever experi enced in this section of country struck this city late yesterday afternoon. At about 4 o???clock the jieople on Front street noticed a black tlircateningeloud approaching from the west, almost before they realized the fact the tornado had hurst upon the city It was accompanied by thunder* light ning, wind, and a heavy rainfall. The storm swept over almost the entire city, its patli being over two miles in width. In point of loss of human life and destruction of prop erty, it is the most serious disaster that ever occurred in Quincy. In North Front street the roof of Joel Harris???s tobacco factory was torn off, and the upper part of the front wall blown in, carrying the floors with it nearly to the basement. Tiie list of casualties in'this building includes the following: Henry Woodhouse, a tobacco roller, was found in the debris dead; Wright Harris was taken out with some difficulty,and ivas found to be badly cut about the head, aud is also bruisell about his legs; a boy named Bowen had one of his legs broken and the other badly in jured; Freddy Martin, son of Harry Martin, was oalight between the timbers and badly bruised, but it is thought that no hones are broken; John Cole and Joseph Ileadlin were seriously injured about the head and shoul ders. The other employes of the factory were more or less injured, but their names could not he learned, as they were taken out of the ruins by friends and hastily carried home. George Hupp, assistant engineer of tiie Castle mills, who was sitting in the en gine room window adjoining Harris???s tobacco factory, was struck on the head by falling bricks and timbers and severely hurt. A team of horses standing between the mill and the tobacco factory were killed. One of the. most frightful disasters was at Bonnett. Duff & Co.???s foundry, which was al most entirely demolished by the force of the wind. The roof was lifted bodily and dasiicd down through the building, tire' sides partly giving way, and the men at work being buried in the debris without a moment's notice. Several mangled and maimed bodies were al most immediately taken out of the ruins, but it was some time Ire-fore the extent of tiie calamity was made known. The killed at the foundry are Henry Ellery Brook, a boy; George Howland, a married man, and Frank Smith, who died of his injuries while being taken home. The injured are Lon Wilson, very badly hurt on the head and body; Kratz Bucli, of St. Louis, arm broken; James Flem ing, seriously cut on the .shoulders; Daniel llardner, arm bruised and cut. At Comstock. Castle & Co???s foundry, further south on Front street, the roof was blown off and a portion of the side wall taken out. Fortunately nearly all the men escaped. The Eagle mills lost a portion of the roof, letting considerable water into the building. The soutli wall of the engine house was also blown in. The roof of the foundry of the Grcenleaf manufacturing company was blown off, but all the workmen esoai>ed unhurt. St. Jacob???s Lutheran church, at Washington and Eighth streets, had a part of the front wall blown in under the lielfry, St. Joint???s church lost a cor ner of the walls and the towers were blown down. The roof of the Southern hotel was partly blown off. The roof of George Herdel- nian???s store at Third and Spring streets is gone. Tiie Chicago. Burlington and* Quincy freight house and tiie round house are somewhat damaged. Tlic roofs of both buildings are partly blown off. Many of the small build ings along Front street have lost their roofs, and many of them have lost chimneys. The large Rose window of St. Boniface???s Catholic church was blown bodily into the street. Among other buildings damaged in the city were the following: H. A. Williamson???s, on Hampshire street, front blown in; Warfield & Lewis???s wholesale store, on Third street, roof gone; T. L. Fox???s store on Fourth street and adjoining buildings, roofs blown off; the new block on Fifth street, soutli fire walls swept awav; the opera-house, roof started and dam aged; Quincy house, a defnolished chimney which went "through the roof and to the otlice below: First Baptist church, at First and Jer sey streets, spire twisted; Collins A Brown's plough factory,Twelfth and Hampshi re streets, roof gone. Trees were uprooted or broken off all over the city and strewn over the streets and pavements. The telegraph and telephone wires were broken, twisted, and blown away. Thebridgeson the roof of the telegraph offices were blown to tlic ground. The large front windows in the upper story of tiie Webster school building and a portion of the south wall was blown in as was also the second and third stories. A part of the roof of the Brothers' school in East Quincy was blown off, and the fence on the south side blown down. Henry Corley???s handsome pleasure lreiat, the Daisy I>., was swept to the water???s edge and tiie whole works carried away. Two of the crew, who were trying to secure the boat, were carrid overboard, nut saved themselves from drowning. The roof of Steward's large ice storehouse on the bay was blown off and much of the ice will be melted by the rain. The tornado seems to have been quite gen eral throughout this section of the country. The telegraph lines are still down in all di rections, making it almost impossible to get information concerning its course and the ex tent of the damage done. The storm pdssed about three miles northeast of Clayton, in this county, sweeping barns, trees and fences before it. In Clayton signs, awnings, fences, and chimneys were blown down, but the village escaped the full fury of the storm. Continuing in a northeasterly direction, the storm struck the little village of Camden, fourteen miles from Clayton, demolishing it almost in an instant. There is hardly building left standing. All the telegraph wires between Clayton and Quincy were blown down. In Quincy four men wero killed and twenty injured, several of whom are so badly hurt that it is thought they cannot recover. Dernard Binning, a carpenter, who was at work on the roof of St. Joseph???s church when it was blown off, fell a distance of sixty feet. He is so badly injured that it is thought he cannot live through the night. Mary Kieinke, one of the girls employed at Harris's tobacco factory, was taken out of the ruins with both legs broken. It is thought that she is fatally injured. When the storm struck there were three small boats on the river opposite the city, all of which were overturned. The men were seen struggling in the water, but no in formation concerning them can lie obtained, though all are rc|??irted drowned. Chicago, September 27.???A dispatch from Rushville, 111., says that a cyclone laid deso late the village nf Camden, 20 miles west, a place of several hundred inhabitants. The wife of Dr. Watts was killed instantly by the falling walls of her residence, but a child escaped without injury. There are only two houses in the place that have not been more or less injured. A two-story building, occupied as post-office and Masonic hall, was blown down and hunted, entailing a loss of ??3,000. A flouring mill was damaged to the amount of ??2,500. The loss in the vil lage is estimated at ??40,000. The Methodist and other Christian churches were completely demolished. Along the path of the storm dwelling houses and barns were torn down or hoisted from their foundations. Fences, or chards, corn fields, and hard wood timber groves were levelled. Corn was blown out of the husk and scattered broadcast. The storm lasted only five minutes, but the loss to the farming community, within a radius of live miles, is placed at ??150,000.
