Hcrcnrxsox, May Is so much wreck and ruin crowded into such a "brief-space of time as was the result of a cyclone in the farming district 20 miles cast of this city Wednesday afternoon. About p.

m. twisting 1 hurling cloud was seen to approach Patterson, a small station on the 'Frisco road, about miles southwest of Burton. The air was dry and filled with electricity. Those who saw it, say it resembled a great raa.ss of flying smoke and dust from prairie fire. The air was as if it camo from a heated furnace, hot and stifling'.

The storm struck about a mile of Patterson and for 10 miles in a northwesterly direction left death and ruin in a path 100 yards to a quarter of a mile wide. Ten Killed. Ten persons were killed, as follows: Mrs. Joseph Wour. G-ucc Wear, years old; Eormim Wear, 10 years old; a Utibo, William ArmntroMr.

Grandma Cfcapia, John Schmidt Miss Sohinldt, Dora Schmidt and Frank Schmidt Over u-5ooro Injured, More than twenty persons were injured, among them being the widow Frye, internally, cannot recover; Joseph Wear, will die; Mrs, J. B. Frizzell, fatally injured; Jacob S. Stinchey, injured on the head; Cyrus Benson, seriously injured; Mrs. William Armstrong.

IlnUdlngu Blown to Pieces. The first house demolished was that of Widow Fry, a sniall structure. Mrs. Frye was so seriously injured it is feared she cannDt recover. The houses of Jake Saliniski, and John Sultzbach were wrecked, but no one was killed.

Joe Wears'fine residence was reduced to kindling' wood, ile was fatally injured and his wife and three children killed. Two children escaped by going- into the cellar. E. C. Caldwell's house on the west was destroyed.

The family escaped in the cellar, D. E. Frizzell's house, recently completed at a cost of over 83,000, was wiped out, leaving 1 onlj the cellar, in which were his wife aud children, uninjured. Across the was the fine house of J. R.

which met the fate of all in the tornado's pathway. Miss Frizzell was fatally hurt. William Armstrong's house was torn to pieces. JJe was killed and his wife seriously injured. William was severely injured and Grandma.

Chapin killed when his house was torn by the wind. The homes of William White and Cyrus Henson were also destroyed and the latter was injured, fatally it is feared. The house of A. H. Parnell, Spencer Ray, J.

A. Cumraing-s and M. G. Hege were all demolished, but the only persoji dangerously injured is Mrs. Cutnmings.

Tho Ponple Appitllod. The pupils of a district school in the path of the storm were hurried out of danger by tho young lady teacher, and she is the heroine of the hour. Tbe sky was overspread with bhick clouds and the storm cloud as it approached the town wound about like the swaying trunk of a giant elephant. The scene when the cyclone burst upon the town beggars description. People were appalled by the terrible calamity and overcome by a strange stupor.

After the cyclone swept by leaving devastation and death in its wake the citizens fell to work caring for the wounded and removing dead bodies from beneath the heaps of debris. Live Stock KlIloO. Near the Frizzell home dead cattle, horses, hogs and chickens are scattered all over the wheat fields. As far as heard from, covering a distance of 18 miles across the country from southwest to northeast, twenty residences, nearly all of them large ones, were completely destroyed. The loss will not be less than £200,000.

Physicians from Wichita went to the. scene and local assistance is given to the suffering- families. Everybody in the track of the storm lost everything, and outside aid will probably have to be called for. Saved His Train. The storm crossed the Santa Fe railroad about 3 miles west of Hoisted.

Kldgeway. txic- man' cwrttr- here and Naibsos, was struck by lignt- ning and instantly killed in the thunderstorm Wednesday. WHITEHALL. May terrific thunderstorm visited this section accompanied by a fall of much-needed rain. Sever P.

Lanning was instantly killed by lightning while standing 1 in the barn of F. Wing, about 2 miles west of here. A USEFUL LIFE. Distinguished Career of Gen, John 0. Newton Ended by Death.

WILL Triple NOT COERCE JAPAN. rVlllanco to Open for a Satisfactory Settlement. PARIS, May Matin says the protesting France and about to open pour- parlers with Japan, and that a isfaotory arrangement of the difficulty is possible, as the powers do not intend to impose conditions, not befitting the rights of victory, or which would diminish legitimate national pride. The jGaulosis says Japan is disposed to yield her present territorial concession for another in a region in which Russia has no interest. Japan has released the steamer Yik Sang, which was seized a short time ago while carrying munitions of war consigned to Tien-Tsin, it having been proved that the captain and crew of the ship did not know what the cases ou board contained.

TOKIO, Japan, May must give her final answer to Russia, May 7. The suspense and public anxiety are terrible. Nothing is known. Everything is dreaded. When mediation by the United States was being discussed lost November by the authorities at Washington and Tokio, President Cleveland prophesied a league of the European powers to deprive Japan of the fruits of victory.

Thereafter the powers were carefully notified of the Japanese intentions. No opposition to was ever manifested. The blow was reserved until the treaty of peace had been signed. COME. Won Honor and Fame by Engineering Up Hell Gate Entrance to Long Sound.

It is said Gov. Brown will not now enter the senatorial race. He is terribly distressed over his son's 'tragic and shameful death. Intimate friends of Gov. Brown say that he is so heart-broken over the disgrace attached to the death of his son that, in all probability, he wili resign the office "of governor and retire to the obscurity of private life.
