Thrcikcld, cme of the oldest citizen# of Columbus, died yesterday of pneumonia. He had lived in the city and vicinity for many years. Hettrurtlon of Fruit. It is to Ix3 feared that the hard hail storm of Monday night did much damage to the fruit in this city mid vicinity. A gentle man, on yesterday, Informed us that he Imd an apple orchard containing several acres and a flne lot of trees. He says that the hail beat off no less than twenty-five bushels of young apples, and tore off half of the louves. The ground is covered with young apples, which are indented and torn where the stones struck. This is the heav iest loss wo liave heard of, and it is to be hoped that the hall did not fall elsewhere so heavily ns it did on tills spot . Condition tf Mr. Kohrrt Pickett. On yesterday we learned that Mr. Rob ert Pickett, who was so seriously cut last Saturday nigiil* was in a very precarious condition. He is still suffering a great deal, and seems hi grow but little bettor. He lias good medical attendance; but it is impossible as yet to predict the result of his wounds.

The Stewart Couaty T.m.do, Full particulars from Stewart county giio nothing further than our account of the tornado givon on yesterday. It seems that after passing Henry Oordy’s plaee nt Green Hill, It destroyed no more houses. It continued to devastate tho forests and sweep away fences, however. Tho de struction of tlmbor is said to have been immense. It is feared that Dr. Gridin will not recover. His skull Is badly bruised and perhaps fractured. The scalp Is torn terribly. No deaths further than those given have been reported. The tornado seems to have continued, with somewhat abatis 1 forco, on Into Marlon county. The last ravages reported aro at Moss Hill, where, tho woods are badly torn to pieces. The path of tho tornado is said to be clearly marked out, and it Is described ns a desolate section. Wo arc happy to hear that full reports do not increase tho num ber of destroyed houses or add to the list of the killed and wounded. The poople have suffered cuough, and It Is cheering that no further calamity is reported. An interesting letter from Green Hill, Stewart county, nddressod to Messrs. Watt A Walker, giving mi account of the storm in that county, was addressed to the Times by thorn, but was furnished to the other office first, where It was de tained until too late for publication this morning. Incldniti of flu* Hectut Toniudod. Several incidents are reported of the fearful tornado which paawxl over Stewart county on last Monday night. Yesterday we heard from good authority that a most remarkable circumstance occurred at the residence of Mr. H. M. Jenkins. Mr. Jen kins is an old man. He and his wife slept in a corner room of the house. The storm made a' general havoc of his place. All his outhouses were destroyed and the dwelling unroofed. It Is asserted by an eye witness that a plank from the roof was blown into the house with terrible force and driven into the wall just over Mr. Jenkins and his wife. The plank was held so iirmly in position just above them that it was impossible for them to rise. They were pinned down so tightly that they lay there until neighbors found them in this position and broke the plank off so that they*cxuld rise. The position must have been terrible and cannot Ix3 realized without being experienced. The following incident of childish sim plicity and innocence was related to us by a gentleman from Talbot county: When tho hail storm of Monday night was ap proaching, the roar of the disturbed ele ments could be heard several minutes bo fore the fall of the hail. Mr. James Mar shall, of Talbot county, who was with his family at home, observing that his wife was somewhat, alarmed—she, doubtless, supposing, as many did, that it was another cyclone -asked her not to l>e alarmed, as “tho Lord rode upon the storm.” His little daughter, about four years of ago, replied, “Yes; but l am afraid the thing that the Lord rides upon might throw Him.” Best Middlesex Blue Flannel Suits, Skel eton and Double-Breasted Hack and Frock Coats, at the Baltimore Clothing House, 88 Broad street. myii Go to tho Virginia Store for Khl Gloves, Llama Looo Hacques and Points, anti great ba r#?ains In Ribbons. np22 Black Iron Grenadines at the Virginia Store, in now stylos.

When about eighteen he moved with the family to Muscogee county, where he has since resided. Yesterday the funeral services took place at the residence. Ho was burled with Masonic ceremonies, large atten dance from Kimbrough Lodge No. 118, under Past Worshipful Master F. M. Brooks, being present. The funeral ser vices wore performed by Rev.

After throo fuiiur3a a quorum lias at last Ixien secure*!, and last night ten of our merchants were present at tho meet ing. Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, Secretary, was called to tho chair. Mr. J. F. Iverson, Secretary, road the minutes of the last meeting, which woro approved. At the last meeting a was appointed to secure, if possible, bettor rutes of insurance. Mr. H. T. Crigler, of the committee, asked for further timo, and had nothing as yet to report. Time was granted. The chair thought the com mittee were acting well in the matter, and that their efforts might lx* successful and beneficial to our interests. President A. M. Allen, one of the com mittee appointed to use their luiluenco witli the Legislature to repeal the lien law, said the committee did what it could, and tho law was happily repealed. The sentiments expressed by the Chamber must havo had its influence. The repeal of tho lien law was one of the greatest blessings of recent legislation. Major Allen said this circumstance showed wiiat influence the Board could have if it pleased. If this influence is properly um*d the legislation of the country may be favoraidy lulluenced. Capt. O’Keefe, on the River Committee, had nothing new to report. The improve ments were progressing well. The Chair said the work was progressing ilnely. Capt. O’Keefe said the Central Line of Boats had recently made arrangements whereby much more favorable rates of freight could Ixs obtained for Columbus. Freights have been greatly reduced. Tho Ciiair stated that Eufaula had a great advantage over Columbus on ac count of a through line of freights. But for a little narrow-mindedness on our part, we might have equal advantages with any sister city. The Chair did not see why this through line could not be brought here. Maj. Allen suggested that an effort in this direction lx* made at once. The Chair thought this would come within the province of the River Com mittee. Capt. O'Keefe thought it should lx; at tended to by the Transportation Corn mi ttee. Maj. Allen moved that this committee be instructed to take the matter in hand and do what it could. Carried. Major Allen made some remarks on the general depression in business circles. It is the duty of the Chamber to dissipate this feeling. He felt this depression every time tiie Board met, because tho mer chants seemed to feel so little concerned in our great commercial interests. We should awake from this lethargy. If the few who now feel a proper interewt in these affairs will use their influence they may arouse* an interest in the others and cause our merchants to turn out once a month to consider matters of importance to all. If the effort is properly made this essen tial Interest may lx*, created. There has been m<*eting alter meeting without a quo rum. This was depressing. There are al ways matters of interest to come up for consideration. He felt very much de pressed when lie viewed the general con dition of the country. However, the agri cultural interests were somewhat improv ing, and there was some ground for hope. The planters seem determined to assume a position for progress. He thought this would bo the last year of depression. When the farmers arouse and get ready for action, the merchants should afford every possible facility for their aid and progress. (Here the Major’s time ran out, but it was unanimously extended.) An immense amount of grain has bo**u planted this year. He had walked over ' many farms, and there was a line pros- ] pcct for a maguiflcciit corn crop. Tho! ground is better prepared than ever. Tho old programme seems to have been changed. The merchants can do business with planters now with more safety than ever. We ought to give tho planters all the help we can. Mr. T. A. Cantrell wished to know Why the banks had closed their doors against the planters. Maj. Allen thought the greatest curse to the country were those concentrated ex- is laid away by millions in vaults, to be used in margins. If In* had the power he would blow up every exchange In the land. These caused the closing of the doors of the banks against farmers. It seemed tliat no eonimitUv* on Trans portation had ever been appointed, and it was moved that tho Chair appoiut one. t He appointed ou that eommitbv Maj. A. M. Allen, C. A. Redd, Mayor Mcllhcnny, E. Ix. Wells, and L. E. O’Keefe. To this committee was referred the mat ter of making an effort to bring the through freights to Columbus. Mayor Mcllhcnny said he felt an inter est in the trade of the city; was much pleased at this organization. He felt bet ter to-night. A little more enterprise was needed; men must seek for trade; effort was the great secret of success in all things. ALI our present enterprises are the result of effort and energy. It was mortifying to see men from Atlanta drumming for trade all around Columbus. We may sneer at Atlanta and call its trade baseless, but it is fast becoming the most solid city in tho State. This body can influence legislation very much. It carried with it a great weight and importance. A delegation was sent to Washington, which accomplished much good easily. The effort was all that was necessary. We havo never used our influence fully with railroads. Individual effort is not worth much. An individual must represent some corporation or body. No body has more influence than the Chamber of Commerce. It ought to be kept up. It has done much >good, and will do much more. He was glad to hear of the Improving condition of the country. Tho money of tho country must be got ten out of the vaults and be used in trade before the true prosperity of the country can Ix3 materially advanced. The Cham ber can do much to help forward progress. On motion the Board adjourned. Urn'ii Furnthlntf Good* At the Virginia Store, Muslin and Gauze Undershirts, Socks, Cravats, Handker chiefs, Ac.

It is impossible to learn the true cause of the row. The woman is bad ly brui<*d. Burke beat her on the head wmtli a pistol, inflicting some severe cuts.
