Scenes of SiitlVrliiB and Iesol i i i i Stricken Towns. to the HEHAT.D| i May is now to a certainty that 20 lives were lost, in Friday's cyclone in tin's i and of fatally i is growing hourly. There ure half a dozen persons known to be missing, but no trace of their bodies crn be found i the wreckage of the Philips house and other stores on Washing-ton avenue have been removed. The Philips house register cannot be found and the clerk, Henry Adams, is unconscious from injuries, so that he cannot tell who were in the i i and not now accounted for. The cyclone was not exceeding two i in accomplishing its terrible work of destruction and death.

The residence portion of the city that was in the line of the storm i was about 21 blocks wide, is laid I its path were located a of the best residences in the i as well as hundreds of small, comfortable, i homes. All are laid on a common level, and i late occupants form a wandering 1 army of citizens. Every home left standing is a hospital for the reception of the i The country people are beginning to come in to administer to their wants, so far as a agency can alleviate the suffering and distress. A special train from Wichita this morning brought a corps of physicians and late last night a corps of workers arrived from the same place to relieve the fugged out men who worked all Friday night and yesterday in ail endeavor to get out more bodies. There are a incidents of the storm that are remarkable.

The ball that was in progress at the Philips house had just begun. The music had scarcely struck up vhen the storm came. Ladies in evening dress Heel terror stricken into the streets where the rain of water and bricks was falling'. Strange to say, not one of those who thus ran out of the hotel were killed outright, although a all were i to some extent. Where the bivll room stood is a dense pile of lumber and bricks 12 feet high.

Two hundred men worked at the i all day rescuing one man, S-mithers. was found in a box, where he had taken refuge. There were two feet of bricks above him, but he had air and was hardly i at all, although he was frightened into a state bordering on imbecility. Twenty freight cars were standing on the Hock Island yards. Ten of them were taken in one direction and ten in another, the two bunches being a mile apart smashed to pieces.

It was in one of these cars a boy tranip.waji The Hock Island lumber yard was one of the biggest lumber yards in Kansas, and their loss will be very heavy. The telephone system, except one lone wire which is all right from end to end, is completely ruined, and the switch board at the central office was taken a mile and dropped in a pond. The electric light dynamo and a ponderous Westinghouse engine were picked up i shingles and carried over the town and deposited not far trom the Philips house ruins. Another freak of the storm was the manner in which the plate glass vns taken from the elegant Spicknell block and carried several yards, set against a white house and aside from losing a few chipsaroxindthe edges, was not broken. Trees were torn from the roots and stoves were lifted i i a landed in the lloor of the ruins.

How this was done is beyond explanation, but it is a fact nevertheless. In one instance a horse was a a taken from his stable and dumped on top of a two- story building. The Lutheran church, a massive frame building, one of the most sub- st intial of its kind in the city, was taken up, turned completely over and now stands with the floor upward, as solid, apparently, as if it had been built in that way. It is not a small building either, for it has a seating capacity of 700 people. The old court house, a solid two-storj' stone structure, was completely demolished and reduced to gravel and splinters with the exception of one i frame office, which was left standing intact by the side of the ruins of the old court house.

A riCTCKK OF SUFFKBIXe A IIUIX. May cyclone which devastated the country around Wellington reached here about three hours later. The depot was blown away and electric communication with the outer world is cut otT. At present nine people are dead and many more are lost. There are scores of injured and at least 20 people are missing, The scene in the devastated town is one of ruin and destruction.

Hardly a building in the town escaped destruction, and the place is strewn with debris from end to end. It is almost a miracle that more lives were not lost. In the Ebbett hotel there were at least 30 guests and many of these cannot be accounted for. The cyclone came without any warning whatever. There was a small cloud in the southwest, but no one noticed it particularly.

All of a sudden with a mighty roar the work of destruction began. The big Kotbchild buildiug, jnst completed and the pride of the town, was torn to pieces in an instant. Fifty dwellings were sma shed into kindling wood and most of them piled in one spot near the Opera House which was lifted bodily for 80 feet and dropped within block of its site, where it fell all to pieces of its own weight. The force the cyclone was inestimable. It took a locomotive that stood near the depot and de-posited it, still a creek half a mile away.

The Catholic and German churches were demolished and the Baptist and Christian churches were ereatly injured. Hundreds of families are homeless and without food or shelter. Relief committees arrived here yesterday from Hutchinson, Kingman and Anthony and everthing possible is being done to relieve the destitute and care for the injured. I LOSS A A I OF A MILilOX. I May early daylight crowds haye been pouring in on every railroad and highway.

On all its four lines, centering here, the Santa Fe has been running excursions from as far as Hutchinson, South from Arkansas City and West from Medicine Lodge, i the Rock Island has been equally i i in forwarding sightseers to the stricken district. Division passenger agent Murdock. of the Santa Fe estimated the crowd at 15,000, which is an exceedingly conservative estimate. It is the common remark of those who have witnessed similar scenes that in the extent and completeness of the destruction, it transcends a i in their experience. Other like calamities have been attended with greater loss of life, but rarely has a picture of such utter desolation and i been pre sented as that seen in the devastated ilistrict.

The miracle of it all is that the loss of life was not four-fold greater. The death list remains at i figures already given, i all the in a fair way to recovery. The a of six of the cyclone's victims took place this afternoon from Methodist, church. Others will be buried today. The churches i be rebuilt, as will also the school louses, valued at $20,000.

(., May waterspout burst over Kinsman, a small viliage twelve miles northeast of this city, on the Pymatuiiing river, yesterday morning, drowning six persons and destroying i i stock and crops. The water fell in torrents from four o'clock i a few minutes after six and the small river overflowed its banks.

The farmers did not flee, i i there was no danger, and all would have been safe had not a dam about two miles above the i lage broken i warning. J. B. Robin's house was on the i of the river. He and his wife and two children were a i breakfast the flood came.

J. 13. Campbell and wife were carried down stream, but lodged on an abutment of a bridge and were rescued. The bodies of the six drowned were in a large pile of i which reached nearly across the river. Beaching parties areoverhaul- ing the driftwood, believing that more bodies would be found.

a horses and cattle were swept away and the loss is estimated at $20,000.

About 50 people were killed and 125 i but the confusion is so great that the exact lossuf cannot be stated definitely tonight. Two hotels took fire and many of the guests were to death.

A heavy storm of i and rain preceded the cyclone by half an hour. There were no premonitory signs. Everybody was indoors and the cloud passed i a destructive rush. The principal street is lined on both sides for blocks i ruins. To add to the horror, i broke out among the debris of Col.

I A I A May Hoffman, of 1,200 Tree street, was arraigned before Magistrate Pole this afternoon charged with manufacturing dynamite bombs for the purpose of destroying the property of.the Lippincott Manufacturing Company, where he was employed. Immediately after the hearing, a search warrant was issued. In Hoffman's room were found hollow braces, balls, pieces of lead pipe plugged at both ends with wooden plugs, several large bags of shot, a lot of gunpowder and a mysterious looking tin valise, containing a lot of bottles filled with liquids, the nature of which has not yet been ascertained. A cartload of brass b'olts, nuts, were also found and identified as stolen property. The discovery of Hoffman's accomplices, the police say, will show extensive anarchistic plots.

OPENING OF A SEASHOKK RAILROAD American Mechanics Refuged to March in Procession With Italians. fSpeclal to the ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. May than 5,000 visitors were in town today to witness the demonstration at the opening of the new seashore railroad. The event was celebrated in by a large procession. The only thing that oceured to mar the day's pleasure was the refusal of the members of the order of American Mechanics to participate in the parade because some 60 Italians bad been allowed to join with the paraders.

The members of the order of American Mechanics subsequently paraded, going over the same route as that taken by the other procession. HEIflS TO FEIGNED ESTATES, An English Rogue Practising 1 on Credulous Americans. MATCH AT I A A I I A A Investigations at the Instance of the United States Consul I A I A I i i I How Heirs tit I i i Kstntos Art' Fleeced. ISpoclal to the i A i Iioxnox, May Gen. of the United States consulate hero, is putting: Scotland Yard in motion with a view to the arrest of adventurers thriving upou the innocence of American citizens who regard themselves as heirs to unclaimed estates in Europe.

William Lord Moore, i an address in Shepherd's rush, London, has been a i i extensively in American papers that a billion and a half a a i claimants to paid over to a that if cents are sent to him he i begin i i a investigations. He has obtained a of i ents. Home of them have become suspicious. The legul a i of one in 2sew i i "A i ent of ours who believes herself entitled to a large a of real estate and personal property by her uncles in Cavaii, was attracted by this advertisement and entered into correspondence i i i a Lord Moore. He has i i pro- ceeJings i he says are to be successful in a i i for provided iJ'-JO are at once si-jit on to pay for a private bond and costs." The linn asks for i a i regarding the a i of Moore.

Another letter of i i comes from i Delaware, a correspondent encloses a faom the British consulate in York denying any knowledge of Moore, and i i that a good deal of a is practiced in i i these alleged unclaimed estates. Moore sends i agr ements to his clients to sign. One of these "It is hereby i a a i i a Lord Moore shall a no i i from any person but the undersigned nor heed any a or misrepresentations made by the said William Lord Moore being agent and proceeding solely the instructions and representations of the dersigned who i employ no other person but the said Win. Lord Moore in connection i the a i to the Richard i i a (or consult any for one. year from January 1, ISSJ'J." A of Moore's printed papers i his clients that whoever gains estates for them must look to them alone for payment.

When i claims are gained they i be i i by the Government or by its agent in ('ana- da or the i States, who i see that their property is placed in i hands. This notice, Moore says, is sent lest his clients fear that their money might be paid to him. Writing i a Delaware i Moore says: "In view of your statement and investigations made as to i estate (worth a vast a 1 i take your claim for on every $1,000 gained at fair valuation. I every case the law demands a a bond be provided to secure costs by a person owning property where the i is hroiiffht. You need not.

however, secure this bond; 1 can get a bondsman to serve you and take all risks for $40. Yon will be obliged by law to begin an order, as you have had notice of your rights. Send to me by registered letter, i 1 get everything ready to proceed at once. Let no one know of good fortune, or bogus a i a i surely appear and rights i be delayed i i claims have been heard. If not convenient to send whole ij-40 at once, send half and 1 shall feel i i in proceeding without delay." A representative of the i Press called at the address in Ingersoll Road i a but was no one at home.

It is a small working class house and the a a i are very seldom in. Moore has sent his i away and there is another woman i i in the house now. He is here today and gone tomorrow. Pie has taken the house for a year and has paid up two quarter's rent. So long as he pays, 1 am not svipposed to concern myself about him.

He is seldom at home i the day. ATTUACTKJU A SWKI.I. A KN'fK. The JiK'ksnii-- Fight for i i i i i of A i i mill 1O.OOD. I Special to the ItKKAt.o.l LONDON, May The light between Peter Jackson and Frank P.

Slaviu for the championship of A tralia and a purse of $10.000 took place this evening at the national sporting club. The result was the victory of Jackson in the tenth round. A the members of the club who had seats reserved, subscribed from $25 to $500 each for the privilege and paid $125 more for every guest introduced, the hall was crowded to its capacity. According to social and sporting standards, a finer audience never gathered to witness a prize fight in this city. Almost every conspicuous sportsman in the city was present, elbowing his neighbor, some member of high aristocracy.

Most of the audience were in evening dress. i i World's CIiauipiiHl a 1 Weight Knocked Out by Hums. i ISut-ujiu TO The HEHAI.U.I I A May was a large attendance at the Island A i tonight.
