and
. " MI.II.
Memphis, Teun., Nov. 88. A tor
nado bounding through a narrow
stretch ol ten itory stretoliiug Irom
point tbree miles north ol Lulu, Miss.,
to Lagrange, Teun., caused a heavy
loss of life aud propertv this afternoon.
Tbe storm so . completely interrupted
telegraphio and telephonic communion
tion that neither the origin nor the end
ing of it can be determined tonittht, nor
can tbe extent of the disaster be
learned. From meager details obtain
able, oovering only three points, it ap
pears that 19 lives were loat, and tbe
destruction of property was also heavy
It is believed that between tbe towns
beard from numerous farm-houses and
interior communities of more or less
considerable population were struck
Accompanying tbe tornado wa a rain
storm of terrilio proportions.
Tbe tornado struck the town of La'
grange, 49 miles east ol Aiempnts, on
the Southern railway, in Fayette coon'
ty, this afternoon. Only one church
ia left standing In tbe town. Tbe
streets are litteied with the debris of
deetroyed buildings, merchandise, tele
graph and telephone wires and pole.
Several persons are dead.
Six persons were injured more or less
seriously, and 10 bnsines place were
totally destroyed. the Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian churches
were demolished. The residence por
tion of tbe town also suffered heavy
loss, several buildings being completely
demolished and a large number dam
aged. A perfeot deluge of ralu was falling
when the oycloue came, but its ad
vance waa foretold 'y a roaring, rush
ing sound, followed by quick heavy re
ports which gave the inhabitants warn
ing, and they rushed out from tha fall
ing bnildings.
STORM IN CHICAGO.
Ruin rll In Dnluglng Quantities anil
Tliumler and Mahtnlng Plentiful.
Chioago, Nov. 88. Glaring flashes
of lightning and load peals of thunder,
lights and sounds generally peculiar to
midsummer in Chicago, aooompanied
the storm which burst upon tbe oity
shortly before midnight last night
Rain fell in deluging quantities, and
the elements displayed all the charact
eristics of a summer thunderstorm.
Telephone and telegraph wires ware af
fected by tbe electricity in tbe atmos
phere. The streets of tbe oity ran
like rivers. There was enough wind
on the lake to endanger the safety ol
light craft.
Tbre storm I probably the forerun
ner of a cold wave that has forced tbe
mercury down to 19 degree below
era in' Montaua, and which is sched
uled to arrive in Chioago today.

8WEPT 8Y A STORM.
Devastation Wrought bjr a Tornado la
the gouiii.
Memphis, Nov. 24. Advices received
tonight from the storm-swept section
of Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee
indicate that tbe loss of life und dam
age to property is far greater -than at
first reported. The places affected are
remote and isolated, ' and at the best
they are not well equipped with moans
of communication, and the storm,
which last evening carried devastation
across tbe country at the ' same time
swept away the wires, so that tele
phone and telegraph wire alike were
pnt out of service. Dependence has
necessarily been placed in railroad men
and travelers coming from affected
parts. It ia estimated that toe number
of dead will exceed 75.
THE STORM IN TENNESSEE.
More Than SO people Wero Killed and
100 Injured.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 24. Tennes
see wa swept last nisbt by tbe most
destructive storm ever known in the
state. More than 50 people were
Killed, and 100 more injured, while the
damage lo houses, timber and otber
property will reach large figures.
Tbe storm entered the state from
Northern Mississippi and swept across
in a northeasterly direction. Great
damage ia reported from the counties
bordering on Mississippi and further
on. Colombia, in Maury county, ia
the heaviest sufferer. Lavergne, Nol
ansville and Gallatin also felt the
wind's fury, tbe storm finally losing its
force against the Cumberland moun
tain range. Columbia ' casualties
number 25 dead and 60 injured.
The path of tbe storm was about 850
yards wide, and was through the north
western Suburbs of tbe town. In its
path everything is completely wrecked.
Not even tbe iron and stone fence on
the the arsenal grounds is standing.
The number of bouses destroyed in
tbe Nolansville neighborhood ia 18.
At Lavergne, 16 miles south of here,
on the Nashville, Chattanooga Sc St.
Louis road, tbe velocity of tbe wind
waa marvelous, and from beat reports
lasted only about 90 seconds. In this
short time about 80 dwelling were
turned into kindling wood.' The wind
made a swath about 200 yard wide
through the middle of tbe town. Tbe
Lavergne high school aud the station,
the two largest buildings, were laid
fiat. Tbe railroad lost four section
houses also.
Tbe rise in tbe Cumberland river at
Nashville is the most rapid known in
25 yean, the water having climbed 20
leet on the' gauge aince yesterday
morning.
In Memphis there ia a heavy loss aa
a result of the storm. Culverta were
washed out and small bridges were
awept away. Lumber firms on Wolf
river suffered severely from tbe de
traction of logs, end it is estimated to
night that their losses will foot np be
tween 30P,000 and $500,000.
IN MISSISSIPPI.
A Wide Eitent or Territory Swept by
the Tornado.
Memphis, Nov. 24. In Mssissippi
the greatest loss of life and damage to
property occurred near Tunica, Lula
and Hernando. A report by carrier
from a point 12 miles from Tunica aays
that the tornado's devastation was so
great that it will take weeks to calcu
late and repair it. Five negroes lost
their live on the Hamlin place. In
Tunica tlie church and a number of
buildings were totally demolished.
More than 50 negroes are missing, and
it is feared that several of them perish
ed. Corn ia reported badly damaged.
At Hernando a white man was killed
and a negro fatally injured by flying
debris. Numerous sawmills, several
residenc a and hundred of negro cab
in were blown away. At Love Sta
tion, J. S. Doney, a white man, was
crushed by riving timber, and is ex
pected to die.
At Tracey the reisdenc of J. B.
Hlggina waa totally demolished and
several otber building wer wreoked.
Ten oabius were destroyed on a planta
tion and three negroes killed.
At La Grange two persons were
killed onrtight and a score or more
seriously injured. About 100 house,
mainly those of poor people, were de
etroyed. Tha damage to unpioked cotton can
no be estimated, but it ia undoubtedly
considerable.- Trafiio on the Memphis
branch of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad has been delayed since lust
night, owing to high water at places
between Milan and the Tennessee river.
All trains have been delayed.
TEN LIVES LOST THERE.
Fearful Hatoo Wa Wrought in Mia

KRUGER'S RECEPTION
Ex-President of Transvaal Is
Now on French Soil.
HE WAS HEARTILY WELCOMED
Only. tTnplensnnt Incident Canaed hf
JCnaliahmeu Thef Threw email
Coins at Oom Paul.
Marseilles, Nov. 25. Today proved
a triumph for Mr. Krnger Snub as even
the Boer delegates and bis most ardent
admirers failed to anticipate. The de
lirium of enthusiasm which marked
every step of bis progress from tba
time be landed until the hotel waa
reached was a revelation, even to the
people of Marseilles themselves. It
fully equaled if. it did not surpass, the
frantio demonstration of patriotism
with which France opened her arms to
Major Marcband at Toulon on his re
turn from Fasboda. An assembly of
suob masses, exceeding even tbe most
sanguine estimate, might perhaps be
partly explained by the ceremonious
obsequies of tbe bishop of Marseilles,
including an imposing religions pro
cession from the cathedral, but noth
ing can minimize tbe spontaneous ex
plosion of sentiment displayed toward
Mr, Krnger by the entire population of
the first port and one of the largest
cities of France.
Yet the grandeur of this demonstra
tion perhaps ranks in importance to tbe
emphatic manifesto of "no compro
mise" which Mr. Krnger delivered in
a low voice, but one vibratiug with
emotion, accompanied by . energetic
gestures of tbe right hand, stiring tbe
hearts of all within bearing. Tbe last
sentences of his declaration were ot
tered with a vigor and a decision which
bore out his reputation as to tbe incar
nation of iron will and stubborn re
sistance. Hi mere delivery of a dec
laration of such far-reaching import
ance testifies to the independence of
his character, as it came aa a surprise
even to his intimate political adivsers
who, np to tbe last, were in ignorance
of bis determination. He announced
to the world this rooming that the
Boers woull be free people or die, and
the faces of the men about him, Wes
tels, Froebler and the otber Boer repre
lentatives, bore the look of fearless de
termination reflecting tbe spirit that
Mr. Kruger declared animated every
man, woman and child in tbe Trans
vaal. The unfortunate ocuurrence at the
hotel on tbe main boulevard alone
marred tbe character of the demonstra
tion, wheb np to that time bad been
unanimously and exclusively a tribute
of sympathy and admiration. "Vive
Kruger," "Vive lea Boers," and
"Vive la liberte," were the cries that
that formed a hurricane of cheering
and swept over the city. Unfortunate- j
ly tbe high reprehensible foolishness of :
half a dozen persons in throwing small
coins into tbe crowd as Mr. Kruger
ised acted like magic in conjuring
up an anti-Uritiab outburst, wmcn it
needed all tbe promptitude and energy
of tbe police to prevent becoming a
serious disturbance. The hotel re
mained for tbe rest of tbe day in a
state of siege, while at one time a pro
cession, several thousand strong,
marched in the direction of the British
consulate, shouting. "Do-nu with tbe
English," and raising other threaten
ing cries. The result was that a strong
body of police was compelled to dis
perse the demoiistratora, although it
was found not necessary to make more
then lew temporary arrests.
Trout Companies Consolidate.
New York, Nov. 23. The trustee

more than a year ago, with a paid-op
capital of $1,500,000.
