A CYCLONE'S WORK. An Illinois Town Almost Swept Out i of Existence. . 7 A very destructife cyclone -passed tht ough the -northeastern part of Knox county, III., Monday, and ruin was left along its path. It seems to have first made its appearance northwest of Galva. About 7:30 o'clock two black, threaten ing clouds were noticed in the west ap proaching one another, and the tornado is thought to have resulted from this junction. Its course was south and east through that city and the main body of the storm passed along the main business streets of the city. It came with such suddenness that the citizens had no time in which to fly to places of safety . Many buildings were totally wrecked; and that many people were not killed is a miracle. The saddest feature occurred at Augusta Olsen'a house. There were in the house at the Jtime Mr. and Mrs. Olsen? Charles 01en and four others. The resi dence collapsed, killing Olsen instantly. The others escaped by a miracle. The place Tuesday was in a state of demoralization. Business was completely suspended, the streets being filled with debris of every description. The stores were more or less, in ruins. Hardly a residence but what will need rep'airs. The damage is estimated at 200,000. Considering the number of buddings wrecked it is surprising that, there was r.o greater los of life. Mr. Olsen tras the only one killed.

I o r i j ----- STATUS OF TRADE. Dob & CoV Report oa Baslness for the Past Week. , The review of trad for the week ended June 17th, published by R. G. Dun & Co.. says: Hot weather and hot politics together have affected business at many points, but there is, nevertheless, an im provement both in actual trade and in prospect. One obvious cause is the swift improvement 'of the crop outlook. After weeks of soaking, grain has now jus: the weather for most rapid growth Floods still make some rouble in the lower Mis-, sissippi valley, but elsewhere throughout the west and northwest excellent farm prospects stimulate trade. At the east the demand for manufact ured products is large for the sesson, and the settlement of many labor controver gies. especially in the building trades, while the fesr of the long strike in west ern iron works also stimulates purchases of iron and steel products. Tbe political movements have much encouraged conservative men with re gard to the monetary future. The iron output June 1st was 175.174 tons weekly, only 2,712 tons less than May 1st, while the unsold stock has decreased 26,427 tons. In spite of some increase at the south, the output is now 18.72S tons less than the greatest ever attained on 3tsrch 1st; or about 9 per cent, but it is 28,000 tons greater tha-i a year ago. At Pitts burg the demand for finished iron is good, the prospects of wage diflicu Hies stimu lating, workers demanding last year's scale, and maufacturers are ; reducing. Hardware is very active IMPROVED TKADE AT. TH"E fJOUTH. v Improved trade is noted at Louisville and Nashville, and business holds on well for the seasorv-at Savannah, a decrease in the production of naval stores being con templated. High water ; mark - makes business dull at New Orleans, but sugar is quiet and 6teady and moqey plenty, with little demand. Better weather and a decrease of onfy 12 per cent, in cotton acreage, accordi-ig to the ihost reliable report, have caused a fall of . five-si x t4eoths in that price, with sales of al3;--000 bales, receipts and exports bring larger than last year. Cotton spinners are taking more cotton than a year ago, and unsold stocks of goods are compara tively small. Exports of products con tinue heavy for the half of June, 23J per cent larger from New York -than last year, with a moderate increase in im ports. Money is everywhere abundant and unusually cheap, and complaints of collections fewer thau u'tfl.

A Cincinnati dispatch says: One .of the most fearful accidents in the history of this vicinity vas thut of the fall Wednesday of a bridge which was in course of construction over Licking river, between Covington and Newport, Ky. Forty-five workmen were on1 the struc ture. So far as is known only two es-i caped unhurt. Others were either killed;' by the crushing of iron and timbers or were drowned in the water. The cause; of the accident is surmised to be the weakening of the. wooden false work. Tbe high river had washed out the earth about the supports, and i.t is chimed that .one of the contractors said a day or two ago that he was afraid the structure would not stand under the weight of the heavy material. Wednesday a force of forty-three men were engaged in putting in place the heavy iron work on the main span. Suddrnly there was a cracking sound of breaking timbers, a swaying of the structure and the headlong plunge of the whole mass into fhe muddy waters of Licking river fifty feet below. It was almost like the foundering of a ship. Very few forms were to -be seen strug- I gling cs the surface, the others were j drowned or crushed by the material. In ; a short time the river was lined with rescuing parties on. both sides. Tbe bodies of the. following were recovered: Richard Gorman, Covington; 'fhomas Burke. Ohio; William Hartner, Jeffer Bonville,Tnd;; John O'Neal, Covington; diaries Schaaipor. Robert Baird, Cleve land; Thomas Downing, Newport; Dick Spooner, Newport; Fred Brent,.

J Murray. i Andrew Baird, Cleveland ; .William Wilson, inspector; John Phillips, New ,port; Elmer Barber, W, D. Robe, Henry Oliver were fatally injured. Three of the men were only slightly hurt and two escaped without a scratch.' The bridge was being built by a Cleve land, O , syndicate which has in view the building and operating of the Belt electric line of street cars in Covington and Newport, in connection with the Cincinnati line: It crossed the river at Twelth street, Covington, and was to be used for vehicles and foot travel as welL ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS iJfamei a Full State Ticket and Select i Chicago Delegates. j The Arka sis democratic state cohven .f. tion. met'' at Little Rock."

A Baton Rouge dispatch of Wednesday states that the democratic state conven tion has agreed upon a compromise. by which an equal division is made of all the appointments and the party stands united henceforth.. The Alabama Banker's Association met in session at Montgomery Tuesday, and a number of interesting papers were read on favoring the abolition of days of grace on commercial paper and another iu opposition to the. free coinage of silver. Fire at Elizabeth, W. Va.. Wednes day, destroyed'over three hundred thou sand dollars' worth of property. It broke out in the Independent bung factory, the largest in the United .States,, which was destroyed.' The los was $ 250, 000. The flames spread to Barnes. Bros. ' & n ff man's works. They were also destroyed. Recently the Anni'ton Pipe works sent out the neaviest shipment oi pipe tKat was ever hauled Jsrm a southern city. It was consigned to Lancaster, N. II., and consisted of a solid train of twenty-five cars, and.was .the heaviest train load of pipe that ever left a south ern city to cross Mason an Dixon's'line. A Savannah telegram of Sunday says : Three passenger coaches and eight freight cars belonging to the Richmond and Danville railroad, which came here in the course of regular business, were seized by 1 lecal enditors of.-thc-road Satur day. (5ther seizures will follow when ever property of tlat company can be caught in this section. The preliminary hearing of the mail robbers was begun at Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday. FulSS) Flovd aud , Stafford waived. a prelimmary hearing and were remanded to jail without bail. McNa mara was tried. The evidence was rather contradictory. He was held without bail. The cases will come up again in about a week, or ten days. At a meeting of the Chamber of Com merce at Raleigh, N. C, Tuesday eve ning, preliminary arrangements were made for the construction of a railway from Raleigh to Averasboro, the head of navigation on the Cape Fear River. The length of the road is thirty-one miles. and the cost is estimated at $156,003. Ral eigh capitalists will take the bonds. ' The sub-associations of- the General Turpentine Oierators' Association of Georgia, Florida and Alabama, met the factors in private session at Savannah a few days ago and decided, in view of the present prices being so low, that opera tions were conducted at a loss. Each operator showed a reduction in the working of yearlings and old boxes of at least 2 per cent. They believe that this soon will have an effect on the receipts and a beneficial result on prices. The chancerv court nt Montgomerv, Ala., adjourned Tuesday after a special session held to try cases -growing out of .the failure of Mses Brothers, bankers, last July for about one million dol ars. Th court has taken under advisement a petition praying for a decree for the sale of Moses Brothers' building, one of the handsomest structures in Montgomery, and worth about two hundred, .thousand dollars, A decree ordering the sale will probably be handed down, in two or .three weeks. A Jackson, Miss., eiispatch says : Judge, Cooper, of the supreme court, on Wed nesday entered suit against the Alabama , and Vicksburg railroad for $4. 30. The circumstances were that the judge bought a ticket to Columbus, the road failing up to the time of the 'purchase of the -ticket to note on its bulletin board the fact that the train was five hours late. When the delay was bulletined the judge demanded the return of the' money, offering to return the. ticket, which was, refused. Hence the suit is intended doubtless to settle the Tights of the pub lic and roads 'in cases of delayed trains. GEN. STACKHOUSE DEAD. He Was an Alliance, Congressman from South Carolina.

The big warehouse of the Bay Line of steamers, at the foot of Union dock, Bal timore, took fire Tuesday afternoon from an unknown cause, and within five min utes wa a roaring mass of flames. Stored inside the warehouse, which It several hundred feet long, were between five hundred and one thousand bales of cotton, several- shiploads of rosiaf ia barrels, and a great number of hogs heads of rrohuses. The inflamma ble nature of the contents of the wsrehouse caused the blaze to spread with lightning-like rapidity. The big four-nmted schooner Augus tus Weil, the steamer Caroline aodxa number of other vessels lay at the pier when the fire broke out. The Caroline caught .fire, but the tugs made a desper ate fight to save her. I he schooner Wirt was wrapped in flames in a few minutes. The heat from the burning warehouse, together with that of the weather, was terrible on the firemen, and several dropped at the hose pipes. The lots will approximate $1,000,000. The fire is thought to have originated from spontaneous combustion among the cotton.. -. None of the vessels lying at the docks were totally destroyed, because . tugboat drew them into the stream, where the flreboat, Cataract, and streams from the tugs saved thtm from total loss; but several fine vessals were, badly dam ag d. Among these ' we're the steamers Caroline and Gaston, schoon ers Wesiev O iver, Mamie ' Howard, William Wirt and Augustus Weil. The latter had just ar'ved with 1,200 tons of ice. AlHhetjf' . Samper of the schoon-. ers named was Vned off and the hulls damaged. The K Line warehouse was totally destroyed V,2h its contents, in clu iing 5,000 bales of cotton and over odc thousand, two hundred barrels of whisky, Intended for foreign thipmcat. : - . .
