At 5 o'clock this afternoon the most terrible cyclone that was ever experienced in this locality struck this dty.' ft wane up the river and the suddenness of its coming was one of its awful fe.tures. The heavens were as black as night and the wind blew with tlie most frightful velocity. Whole rows of trees were blown down. . hundreds of ho'. -es unroofed r partially blown over, and many completely demolished, and many people killed. Lae districts in several sections of this citv are in absolute ruin. The damage will reach hundreds oi thousands ol dollars. A pas senger Lain and locomotive at the depot were blown over and every wire in the city, electric light, tel ephone and telegraph is down. Fortunately no fires as yet have taken place. The street is impas sible with trees and fallen build ings and the engines could not' be drawn through them. The total dead, so far as ascertained, is 124 men. A bouse on Scott street oc cupied by miners, who had just returned from work, fell in and three inmates killed The huge smokestack of the Kytle planing mill fell on a man and two horses and all were killed. A little colored girl was killed by a falling building. Two men suffered death by the falling of a portion of Stegamair's brewerv. and a third incurred the same fate -through the almost complete de molition of S. S. Brown's brick business block on Market street. I here are undoubtedly 15 or 16 others killed.

One of our boys was over in tbe Mohawk valley one day, and on tnat same day a couple of chaps came to town in a tin pedler's w agoa. Tbey were driving a horse that could have fooled no one but a hayseed, says a story teller in the New York Sun. This was when 2 :50 was a marvel. The peddlers found the usual crowd at the village tavern, and it didn't take them two hours to get up a match with the boss trotter of tbe neighborhood. It was besx two in three for $50, and the tin wagon horse won both heats in 2 :- . 55. It was evidently a put up job to skin the rustics, and as they ; were heading our way we ' deter- S to be ready for them. We sent 100 miles after a trotter, scraped all our dollars together, and the day the peddlers arrived we had bun drawing manure with a. cart. When tne peddlers arrived one of them asked : "Got anything in boss flesh to brag of?" "One purtv fair hoss." replied the village cooper. Van he go 7" "Wall, he's cleaned 'em so far." "Our old boss does a mile fairly: we.l." "Yes." "And, just for the fun of the; thing we sometimes trot him." Yes?" ' Can't we get up a go?" Wal, our hoss is no cheap ani mal. We'd want to make it a hundred at least." "We'd rather make it $250." ' In ten minutes we had the money ud and the race airraed to. The peddlers brought in a sulky tbey bad left just out of town, our horse was provided with another - and every man, woman and child in that town turned out, The race was square up and up, and our horse got tne first neat by three good lengths. The peddlers were puzzled, but they had sand, and each put np $20 more. The race ' was fair, and even lor a quarter of a mile. Then our horse bezan drawing away, and when he went wauer ine Binnic no was tuiriy iee ahead. The peddlers cave up the stake, sat down by themselves and bad a talk, and then the spokesman moved over to where the roopef stood and said : "We see through it, bu : we can't squeal. As for your getting an old 'ringer,' to match ours, we haven't any fault to find, but what harrows ns so is that we were taken in and , done for by such a benign old cuss as vou seemed to be, but ain't I I'll tie both feet and one hand and 1 hgntyou lor tne noes ana wagon i 3 t i . 1 ' .. . t . t
