A TERRIFIC CYCLONE
Donuillnliluc n Great Deal or Property
Hint Killing mid Wounding u Number
of Vcople.
Philadelphia dispatch: A terrific cyclono
weeping up tho Delaware river this after
noon, struck tliis city, near Greenwich, de
molishing a portion of tho works of tho
Pennsylvania salt manufacturing company
and injuring sovoral employes. It then
took a course across tho river, wrecking tho
river steamer "Major Heybold" and tho
fcrryhont "Peerless." Tho storm blew tho
pilot, Emery Townsond, nnd Capt. Eugene
Iteybold, of tho steamer "Iteybold," into
tho river, drowning tho lormer nnd pain
fully injuring the captain. Tho "Peerless"
wns swept clean almost to tho water's
edge. When tho "Major Iteybold" left tho
dock for Salem, N. J., sho had about fifty
passengers, although, ns no tickots wero
sold, it is impossible to ascertain the exact
number. Thcro wero nlBo fourteen officers
and deck hands. Of this number of pcoplo
on tho wrecked boat it does not nppoar
that any lives wcro lost except that ol tho
pilot, although it is not impossible) that
some of tho passengers wcro washed off nnd
lost without nny ono knowing of tho fatal
circumstances. H. J. Warner, ono of tho
pnssengers, describes tho scene. Ho was
standing on tho upper deck and saw a
black storm approaching, but as it moved
rather slowly ho supposed it wns a rain
storm. When itstruck tho boat ho discov
ered that its immenso force enmo from its
rotary motion. Ho nnd several others wero
thrown throuch a holo to tlio lower deck.
nnd nil tho upper works wero swept away
uko chair. Tho contusion nmong tho pns
sengers wns indiscribablo, and several
jumped into tho river, but Warner believes
that all wero rescued. Whilo tho cyclone
was upon tho vessel, everything was black
ns tho blackest night, sofas wore broken to
splinters nnd carpets torn to shreds in tho
cabin ns if they had been paper. Tho
cyclone, ho thinks, lasted nbout a minute,
nnd nftcr it passed tho vessel rolled in great
waves and enmo near swamping. Tlia
storm then passed over to Jersey sido,
striking John Diatogries' ship yard, below
Kaighns Point and destroying tho buildings
of tho establishment, then took a courso
nlong tlio Now Jersey river, demolishing all
buildings in its path up to Bridge avenue,
Cnmdcn. At this point tlio cyclono took
an easteily courno to Fifth street, Camdon,
embracing in its patli all that soction oi
tho city between Second and Filth streots,
to tlio Delaware river, which washes tho
northern section ot tho city; passing over
tlio river, skirting Potty's Islnnd, the
storm passed over to that part
ol tho Twenty-fllth ward of Phila
delphia, known as Richmond. In
its ravages in Camden scores ol dwelling
houses wero unroofed nnd somo ol them
thrown down nnd tho damago to business
property nlong tho riverfront is enormous.
Hundreds of families nro rendered homo
less, nnd ono victim, Charles Daizoy, was
killed outright. At tlio American Dredging
compnny's wharf another, Harry Stevens,
had his leg cut off by a Hying piece of tim
ber nnd will probably die. Tho track of
the storm through Richmond is marked
with death ami destruction. Its truck wns
almost duo north from the Port Richmond
coal wharves. About 150 dwelling houses
wero wrecked, also many damaged so bad
ly ns to bo rendered unfit for habitation
nnd two hundred families woro driven from
their homes to be cared for by neighbors.
A number ol persons wero Beriously nnd
somo fatally injured. A girl oi 10 years,
Lizzie McVeigh, wns killed at her homo,
1721 Melvalo street, in sightof her mother,
who wns herself pinned to tho lloor by rail
ing rafters, a few feet from tho dying child.
Tho cyclono is described by those who wit
nessed its progress up tlio river as nn im
menso cone-shancd cloud, with tho apex
Presting upon the water nnd the basa ming
ling with tho rain clouds which Jiung in
denso masses from tho sky. It is impossi
ble yet to estimate tho amount of damage
done.

President Cloveland on tho -itli informed
the delegation representing tlio cnttleiuen
that ho would not modify his recent orders
for tho removal of catUo from leased lands
in the Cheyenne- nnd Arapnhoo reservation
within forty days from tlio datoot his proc
lamation. Tho delegation called, nt tho
whito houso at 4 p. m. nnd met tlio presi
dent in tho library. Senator Cockrell in
trodured ex-Representative Pollard, who
presented tho president a lengthy memorial
in hclmll of tho lessees ot the lands m ques
tion, asking for such timo to remove tlio
rattle as the tacts show to bo indispensa
ble. Mayor Moore, representing tlio busi
ness men of Kansas City, presented a milli
bar of resolutions adopted at a recent
meeting in that city. Ho said ho believed
tlio removal ot tho cattle at the present
time would result in great injury to the en
tire country. Col. Denmnii spoko as ono
interested. Ho thought removal would re
suit in the loss ot over halt the interest in
those owning tlio cattle. Tho cattlemen
understood their business. They under
stood it better than army olllcers, better
than President Cleveland. They know what
could bo done. Cattlemen bad gone into
the country with tho encouragement of Sec
retary Te'ler. Ho had written letters fa
voting them. Leases had passed from thn
original hands into tho hands ol uicorpora
tors. Mnnv widows nnd orphans wero in
terested in theso corporations, and they
would bj tho losers. Forty days would not
no moro than timo enough to buy Horses,
employ men and get things in shape to
make tho removal. Cattlemen asked
that they might bo allowed till spring-timo
to d.-ivo their cattle. Doctor .Mum
ford, editor of tho Kansas City Times,
was introduced to tlio presidentas one who
had always opposed leasing the land. Ho
said he had been opposed to such practices
and was opposed to them now, hut busi
ness intrrests demand that consideration
should be given to tlio men who were thus
forced to leave tho reservations. Knn.;a
City would he injured by such a removal
and he feared a panic would bo the result
of immediate enforcement ot the order.
"This application, ns I understood it," said
the president, after Mumford seated him
self, "is that cattle bo allowed to remain on
the reservations until next spring." Col.
Dennuin, representing ono ot the largest
raiiilius in tho reservation, replied: "Wo
will niovo at onco and inuko such progress
nn " i' can; wc iisk innu mini spring in wiui ii
to finish our business. Wo are determined
to get out as soon as wo can.". "Thero is
one point thnt seems to escape your atten
tion, gentlemen," snid tho president. "That
point is before my eye, and it is tho public
tnteiest. Wo havo lately seen what fear
can bo created by thirty or Torty Indians.
Within two hours a letter has como to my
desk from the governor of Kansas, urging
that the troops on the border of that state
should not be withdrawn. The highest
oillcer in tlio unity, ono experienced m In
.l in it affairs, reports tlio situation in the
territory and says tho ciiiiho of irritatim
is the presence of cattlemen. A section of
the country containing four nnd a quarter
million acrex was set apart for the Indians.
Only one-tenth of four hundred thousand
acres is left. They nro crowded down to
the agencies. Somo of this may be secured
with tlio consent ol tho Indians. It is
apparent to me, ns it is to you
that this stato of affairs cannot eon
tinuo. Two interests aro in coullict
Inch shall give wnyr Un one
sido wo havo public peace, public security
and safety of lives, On the other side aro
your interests. Tho former, gentlemen,
must bo considered though private inter
ests milter. Thequesiioii ol putting oil this
removal until next spring is inndniissible.
The order cannot bo modified. 1 want to
see some diligence in complying with the
order. Twelve days have passed. Precious
time is lost. An cftort wns made alter the
order was issued to securo nn extension ot
time. A dispatch wn." sent saying in most
positive terms tho order could not bo mod-
Hied. Hero you nro alter twelvo days havo
passed. It any indulgence is shown it must
lio an npplicalioii in cases, with evidence
that an effort has been made to comply
with tho order. If your interests led you
out of tho territory instead ot in, 1 cannot
help but think you would find some way
out in tint specified timo. I wish you would
co-operate- and take hold and try to get tho
cattle off. No argument will induce mo to
change what has been done. Rome loss
nnd inconvenience will no doubt follow, but
tliero is an interest greater than your
which must receive attention." The dele
gation, upon conclusion of tlio president'?
reply, left the oxecutivo mansion. "Thero'fc
cohl comfort in his words," said ono of tlio
most prominent cattlemen, ns ho wnlked
through tho whito house grounds to tlio
street. "Wo wnlked up, and we walkod
down," replied another.
Tho majority ol tho delegation started
for homo nt onco. They nro unanimous
that tho cattlo ennnot bo removed without
great pecuniary loss within tho forty days'
limit.

An English shipbuilder has propnred
a niodol of a fast cruisor for tho llritish
odmirality, which is worthy tho atten
tion of our own naval board. This ves
sel will havo a speed of twenty-live
milos an hour, with coal-carrying ca
pacity sulliciont to tako liDrfrom Liver
pool to tlio West Indies nnd back ot the
speed of twelvo knots. Thoenginos aro
safe from shot boing protooted by tough
stool walls. Sho carries two 110-ton
iguns in barbnttos plntod by tlnrtocn
'inches of armor, and will carry torpo
;doos to bo ejected from hor bows. Tlio
cost will bo not loss than $2,G00,000.
Tho speed is tho paramount rccom
mendation, if tho programme of tlio
English buildor can bo realized.
Twenty-fivo milos an hour is n very high
rato of speed. It is nvorngo railroad
speed, and will mako such a vessel tho
most formidnblo craft afloat.

it becomo tho duty of tlio ofiicors of tha

fitness nnd ability of the oillcer injured
by an otlominato mannor of lifo, but tho

lived in occordanco with thoso maxims,
and led a simpler lifo every way than a
