An Attractlvepot Where the Visitor!
May While Msvy Hoars Pleasantly.
Receiver I. E. Rankin of tbe Asberillei
Street Railroad company, in carr ying out '
his plans for the improvement of the lines j
under bis control and furnishing attract
ive rides for tbe patrons of tbe road, bas
developed tbe idea of a park at the term
inns of tbe Lookout mountain division.
For two weeks a force of men under E.
P. Hart, superintendent of tbe construc
tion forces baa been busy clearing tbe
ground and erecting buildings necessary
to carry out the plans. Tbe resort, for such
it will undoubtedly become, bas been
christened Lookout Park. It lies im
mediately west of the car lice, and com
prises a tract ot eight acres. Tbe under
growth has been cleared away, leaving
a grove of shade trees. A pavilion 30 x
40 feet bas been erected, acd will be
used for dances and enter
tainments. Four large diuble
swings depend about the grounds, while
benches are arranged under tbe trees for
the comfort of the visitor. Cool water
is to be bad frorua well nearthe pavilion.
Tne grounds are to be beautified by
flowers and plants.
Tbe park bas been leased to Charles
Evans of Indianapolis, an experienced
man in amusement enterprises who will b:
assisted in the management bv Georgt
W. Rogers. Mr. Evans proposes to haVe
bands of music in the pavilion daily,
with Sunday concerts. He will build a
pony track and putupamerry-so-round.
It is also bis purpose to give vaudeville
entertainments as soon as tbe artists
can be booked. A refreshment stand is
also to be built on tbe grounds.
Tbe oark is open to tbe public now,
but Mr. Rvans will not have tbe formal
opening until about two weeks hence,
when everything will be ready for full
op-ration.
The spot is an ideal one for those who
wish to go into the country for a few
hours, and is likely to become popular
with picnic parties and social gather
ings. Tbe Asheville Street Railroad com
pany's new summer cars, 13 and 14,
were put into regular service today, one
on tbe Lookout line and the other on
Charlotte street. ' Car 14 was run over
the Lookout line yesterday afternoon,
carrying a party that included Receiver
Rankin, Secretary B. M. lones. Superin
tendent R.J. Sherrill, Electrician Chan.
E. Waddell and representatives of tbe
press. The cars are handsomely fitted.
They will seat 50 passeneers, and were
built by tbe Jackson & Sharp company
of Wilmington, DA. Each car is fitted
with two 25 hoTse-power motors, and
have B;mis trucks with sever.-foot wheel
base. The electric equipments are of the

Sherman, Tex, May 16 The death
list from the cyclone of yesterday after
noon is increasing. This morning over 75
bodies bad been found. Twenty five
physicians from Sherman, Denison,
Whitewright, Howe and Van Alstvne
areattending the wounded, and hundreds
of women are helping. The colored peo
ple, having recovered from their first
fright, are working like trojans.
The excitement cannot abate as long
as tbe reports continue to come in as
they do. It is reported tbat 12 dead
bodies have been found in one pile north
of town, and there are no means of
bringing them here. Many persons are
missing and entire families cannot b
touod.
It all the reports are to be credited, tbe
number of dead must already reach 150.
Tbe storm passed two miles from Deni
son and is thought to have broken up
beyond there. Telegraph and telephone
wires between here and Djnison are
down, and many other towns have no
connection. It is feared that a restora
tion of telegraphic communication will
bring information of loss of lite and prop
erty in surrounding towns, greater than
already estimated.
