cessation of the Htorm. Half an hour
afterwards the bright sun was making
every effort to penetrate the clouds
and tints of rainbow were seen in the
eastern sky. This continued for half an
hour. Then the scene changed with a
suddenness that was appalling. The
fleecy clouds gave way to ominous signs
lot the coming storm
Dark, heavy batiks
of clouds marshalled themselves and be-
iran aimroachin" the town. Then the
wind whistled, roared and tore along in
mad coufusion. The storm clouds grew
heavier still, and louder roared the wind.
In the webtern skv the storm was seen
approaching with a thunderous noise.
The swath it cut w as narrow but the
effect was terrible. Persons residing
alon the track of the storm sav that
they saw the first sigus of danger in the
I ' " ...
funnei-shaped maelstrom which seemed
to gather up everything in its reach and
east it right and left. Out in th country,
houses and barns were unroofed, and
destruction spread in every direction.
The track of this destructive clement
was not more than 200 feet wide, and it
is lucky that it only touched in tlie
subeibs of the city. It came from the
west, but passed along the northern
boundary of Hoading. First it struck
tli" louut Penu stoye works. Here the
cc r building was struck and part ol
tli Lf i-i-.t. off. Then the storm cloud
I i . .
I scuiied across the fields, a portion of the
roof of J. II. Sternberg's rolling mill,
aud a number of dwellings were unroofed
as readily as if their tin roofs were paper.
The storm then crossed the railroad.
Here a passenger car was standing. This
was overturned as quickly as if it had
been a toy, and its splinters carried in
every direction.
Meanwhile the rain poured down in
I torrents. The atmosphere became heavy
and oppressive, and it was almost dark
as night. On one side of the track of
the Heading tailroad were situated the
m
oaint shoos or me company, ii was a
one-story building about G0xl50 in size.
Here about 130 men were employed in
painting passenger cars. lnere were
eight or uino of these cars in the build
ing, costing $6,000 each. The building
was struck fairly in the middle and the
bricks scattered about as if they were
playthings. The cars were turned topsy-
tuivey, while the men were buried under
the debris. The chamber of each passen
ger car was already filled with gas, as
they were ready to be taken out on the
road in a few days. They exploded
one by one, with the fearful bang of a
cannon, causing the people to run out of
their houses, thinking that it was the
sound of an earthquake.
There was a considerable quantity of
gasoline in the building, and this added
fu I to the flames. A sheet of flame
shot outward with the roar of musketry.
Some twenty of the men had a chance to
crawl out of the debris, but four of their
companions were enveloped ir. the eui-
bra ji? of the flames. Their cries were
heard by the terrified workmen, for a mo
ment, and then their yokes were hushed
forever. They were quickly roasted to
death. The lire from nine passenger cars
lit up the heavens for miles around. It
was a beautiful sight and could have
been enjoyed but for the awful calamity
which accompanied it.
In the mean time the fire department
was called out. but its services were un
availing. The building and cars were
consumed in fifteen minutes and nothing
left but blackened, smoking ruins, under
which lay four human beings, burned to
i crit-p.
While this was all going on the storm
was traveling forward with fearful
rapidity. It must have traveled at the
rate of 80 miles an hour. It struck some
more private houses and unroofed a
dozen others. Directly in its path at the
i collier of Twelfth and Muiou streets
J stood the Heading silk mill, in which 17.1
girls were working. 1 lie building was a
huge- structure, most substantially built,
four stories in height ami a basement
besides. It occupied an entire block of
ground, being :OO.xl0 feet, and was
.surmounted by a massive tower 100 feet
high. The fuuvl-shapi-d storm cloud
struck the building directly in the center
on its broadest side, which faced we.-t
It' fell to pieces as if composed of so many
building blocks. The most reliable t sti
mate tonight places the number in the
building when it went down, in the
neighborhood of 1 7, and loo of these
were rescued by friends, or dragged
themselves out immediately after the
accident. Clerk Autenbach stated at
midnight that fully SO bodies were in
the ruins under the three llaors. His list
of the employes is lost, and owing to the
confusion in taking out the injured he
was unable to furnish a list of the killed,
but-yO is considered a conservative esti
mate of those who lot their lives.
A Pittsburg Horror.
Pittsucko, Jan, 0. A terrific storm of
wind and hail, the worst known for yeais,
swept oyer this city shortly after noon
today, carrying with it death and de
struction. T he storm was formed with a
suddenness that was overwhelming, and
as the wind, accompanied by hail and
torrents of rain, swept along the streets,
pedestrians were hurled before it and
barely escaped being crushed under the
vehicles passing along the thoronhgfare.
Suddenly, in the center of the city, there
was a terrible crash, and it was found
that the cyclone had caught a new
building on Diamond street, near Weed,
owned by C L. Wiley, and hurled it to
the earth, covering up two score of
mangled human bodies. The building
was in course of erection. It was 40 by
SO feet in dimensions, and was seven
storks high. The front of the building
had not yet been put in, and the wind
seemed to enter the high shell from the
open end. The high walls of brick and
undried mortar were parted, one
falling each way, partly wrecking nearly
a ilozen of the surrounding buildings.
It is almost impossible tonight to giye
an estimate of the pecuniary damages,
but they will probably be ?7o,000 or
100,00) in tin) immediate vicinity of the
wrecked building. The cyclone wrought
terrible destruction in other parts of the
city and out along the railroads centering
here. A portion of the foundry of Me
Into.di, Hemphill & Co., on Thirteenth
street, was wrecked, as was also a house
in Allegheny. At Wall's station on the
Pennsylvania railroad, a large brick
building owned by the Westinghouse
Air llrake company was partially demol
ished, and at Wiluierding, Pa., a coal
tipple was wrecked. At McKcesport
houses were unroofed, trees blown down
and windows smashed. Three houses iii
the course of erection were blown to
pieces The nut factory of Uontregcr &
Co. was also blown down.
The total number of fatilities up to 11
o ciocK tonight, come to light irom fill
points of the eitj' is fouiteen: the number
seriously wounded is placed at thirty
live. Iv scuing parties are at work to
night on all the fallen buildings where
persons are known tc be buiied.
Hunted by a Iliire.
The Figaro published not lour since
an account of u practical joke which,
unlike most practical jokes, has the
merit of being amusing:
An enthusiastic sportsman went to a
breakfast given at the commencement
of the shooting season. The conversa
tion naturally was of game, when sud
denly in rushed a servant, exclaiming
to the host that a hare had been seen
moving about tho lawn. Out ran the
enthusiastic sportsman, gun in hand.
tired at llio liare and missed, it.
Tho hare scratched its nose, then
stood on its hind legs, presented a
horso pistol at the sportsman and fired
in return.
No one was hurt, but the sportsman
was naturally astounded to have the
tables turned in this unexpected and
surprising manner. It was explained
to him, and then his laugh was as
hearty as any one's. This remarkable
haro was a performing aninial, which
lied been hired from a neighboring
show. Tho sportsman's charge had of
course been tampered with by the cou-
Ueiutiai servant.
There can be nothing sadder than the
expression which creeps over ihe face of
tho man who has on a twics round scttrf
when some sympathetically inclined in
dividual ask3 uinj if he has a sore
throat.
A funny little man refused a hat with
a very loud lining because it might, make
him deaf.
"Keep your seats, please, laSica and
gentlemen," said a theatrical manager,
"there is no trouble whatever, but for
eotno inexplicable reason the gxs went
out."
Then a bov shouted from the gallery:

"It is a verv severe punishment,"
urged the Englishman,
"Io not argue with me, Nazarine,"
said the ollicer. "1 have received my
orders and must obey."

a butcher, was the re a waiting the con

knifo with a blade some six inches
long. He was a stranger, and bad
oU'ered his services because all fho
Mohammedan butchers of Tangier had
taken refuge in a sanctuary.
A heated discussion arose between
this wretch aud the oDicer in charg as
to the blood money he was to receive
for the job. Tho two victims stood bv
and listened.. The butcher demanded 20
francs a head. Tho ollicer finally
agreed, though with ill grace. Then tho
butcher seized the Ililliau, threw him
on the giound, and knelt on his chest.
The Englishman turned awav his
head. lie heard sounds of a horrible
struggle, in tho midst of which a
hoarse roice cried, "(Jive me another
knife, mine does not cut." Another
knife was brought and the head hewn
from the body. Tho soldiers cried
faintly, "God prolong the life of our
lord and master.

they wrangled over his blood, tho
ollicer refused to remember his prom
ise and said ho would only give 20
francs for both heads. The butcher
accepted. The prisoner begged that
his hands might be unbound. lie
gave his cloak to one soldier, saying,
"Wo shall meet in the next world."
lie threw-his turban to another. lie
cried, in a clear voice, "There is no
God but God, and Mohammed is bis
prophet," and taking oil' his belt gave
it to the butcher, saying, "Take it, and
for the love of God deal more quickly
with me than with my brother." Then
he stretched himself on tho earth in
the blood and the executioner knelt on
him.
"A reprieve stop!" cried the Eng
lishman. A horseman galloped to
ward them. The butcher held his
knife.
"It is only the governor's son," said
a soldier, "come to seo the execution;
wait for him."
They waited.
The incident occurred some ycra-s
ago, but since then neither tho cus
toms nor the characters nor the
methods of administering the law of
the Moors have undergone any
change. No changes indeed is pos
sible so long as fh country is gov
erned by the LsherecTs; and so long as
Morocco remains in the bands of tho
Moors no other form of government is
possible, and no attempt can bo made,
with any hope of success, to arrest the
decadence of a people who, from being
foremost among tlie pioneers of civil
ization iii the past, have now sunk
into a state of brutal degradation ont v
surpassed by that pf tho semi cannibal
savagusi.'f t ho Niam-Xiam and kindred
tribes cf Central Africa. The pity of
this is but the greater that the Moorish
peasantry, apart from their fanaticism,
aresliH a frugal, upright and warlike
race who retain to this dav, in spite of
all the evil agoncifs that have so long
been at work to ilc.-lrov them, many
of the honorable--and soldierly instincts
