ask that the army be increased to one

Judge O. P. Mason, when attending

We think a great deal of the Judge,

Madison, Wis., May 24. Last
night the heavy storm was accompan
ied by the remarkable phenomena of
tl rain of sticks, stones, boards aud
large hail. The cyclone came from
the southwest, and fifteen to twenty
barns are reported destroyed. A Nor
wegian, living near Mt. Vernon, nar
rowly escaped death, and His fatber
lnlaw,NarueBergtand brother Herb
sand Bergt, were killed instantly, O.
B. Daily, a wealthy merchant of Mt.
Verndn, was also killed. A number
of prairie fire a started during the
evening. A report from Oregon,
Wis., says many houses were
torn down near Paoll, and three or
four persons killed. Great destruc
tion of property and loss of life un
doubtedly resulted from the storm.
The destruction and sacrifice of
property and life has been appalling.
In the vicinity of Primrose, twenty
five miles Bouthwest of this city, and
frota there through Mt. Vernon to
Paoli, the storm seems to have done
wide-spread damage. From twenty
five to thirty barns and farm houses
were blown down, some of them be
ing utterly destroyed, and the debris
carried off before the mighty ava
lanche of wind, some of It falling In
Lake Men dofa, near this city. Some
12 or 18 persons are known to be kill
ed and large numbers seriously in
jured. Graphic, yet fearful descrip
tions are given of the terrible eueots
of the" tornado. Teams and wagons
are reported as taken from the roads
and carried into the air and dashed to
the ground. At Dr. Fox's, near Ore
gon, two valuable horses in a pasture
were taken up a hundred feet in the
nlr, carried fifty yards and dashed to
the' earth, killing them instantly.
The storm came from the direotion of
Mineral Point, where it wrought such
terrible damage, raised from the
ground seven or eight miles south
west of Madison, and again break
ing the earth near Ft. Atkins,
northeast of here, near Primrose and
Paoll. The storm seemed from a half
to a mile in width, and swept every
thing before it, mowing down trees,
fences, farm houses and shubbery as
with asoythei
Among those reported killed and
injured are the following! Mt. Ver
non, Wm. Osborne, wife and daugh
ter, seriously injured; Paoli, family
of A. E. Clarke, slightly injured;
Oregon, wife and ohildren of M. Mc
Carthy, badly injured; Mr. and Mrs.
Pierce, seriously Hurt, cannot recover;
Montrose, wife of John Galena, kill
ed; others badly injured.
The Dubuque Herald has the fol
lowing speoial concerning the torna
do at Mineral Point, Wis. :
The terrible tornado whioh struok
Mineral Point Thursday evening, en
tered from a southwest direction. It
first struck the lead-smeltitag furnace
of James Spencer, tearing it almost to
ruins. It next carried off the house
of John Coleman, badly injuring Mr.
Coleman, his two daughters, aud
Typ Allen, who were in the house at
the time. It then Btruok the residence
of John Spensley, oarrying the house
from Its foundation, and in another
instant shattering it to splinters. His
bam was then taken up and carried
off and the horse which was in the
barn away with it, and neither, horse
or barn, or any portion of either of
tbem, have been found. Friends of
Mr. Spensley from Dubuque, some of
whom were in the house at the time
the tornado struck it, escaped by tak
ing refuge in the cellar, but Mrs. Wal
ler, mother of John Wallerand Mrs.
Spensley, was carried off with the
house. The house of Mr. Lofart was
next uplifted, and was lifted from its
foundation in an Instant and shiver
ed to atoms, carrying with it Mrs.
Lofard, whose body was found 100
yards distant, mangled In a. fearful
manner. The roof of Mr. Addington's
stone house was taken up in the air,
and carried a hundred yards. Benj.
Bennett's house was totally destroy
pd, and Mrs. Bennett thrown over a
woodpile, escaping with but little in
jury. The housps of James Prince
and William Jaoka were destroyed,
while a barn situated between them
wbb left uninjured. At the brewery
of C. Gllmann the storm did the
greatest damage, carrying off the
houses of Mr. Gllmann and Mr. Ad
ams, and badly injuring a Miss Zim
mer. The brewery building and
barn connected therewith were total
ly demolished and a number of valu
able horses killed. Loss to Mr. Gll
mann will reach upwards of $15,000
to $20,000. The houses situated In
the summer" garden of Jnhn Jeuck,
opposite the brewery buil'di'ng were
destroyed, and Mrs. Myers, and Ma
ry Jeuck were killed!- Mr. JBohan'a
family, who lived a short distance
from the gardens were dangerously
Injured, and Mrs Bohan died about
midnight. The house of Martin Oda
wa was reduced to ruins. Mr. Beards
ley's house and barn were carried sev
en and eight rods from the founda
tions. Wm. Looking's house was
taken, and nothing left but a few
pieoes of furniture. A schoolhouse,
about two and a half miles east of the
oity, was carried off with the teaoher
and scholars. Two scholars, a broth
er and sister, were killed, and the
teaoher Blightly Injured. The teach
er, while holding one of the smaller
scholars in herarm3, was thrown sev
eral rods. Most of tho children are
unhnrfc.
The storm In no way abated after
it left the olty, but seemed to increase
in fury, breaking down everything
before it; Mr. Ooley, a prominent
man, was killed in the town of Wald
wick. as well as one or two Norwegi
ans, whoso namps cannot be learned.
IN ILLINOIS.
Chicago, May 24. About 6 o'clock
last evening a tornado struck a settle
ment about three miles from Barring-
ton, a Chicago suburb, and devasta
ted the country for a radius of about
two miles. The farm house of Wm.
Brunes was completely demolished,
Mrs. Brunes Instantly killed, and two
young children carried through the
air by the whirlwind and hurled dead
to the ground, a distance of twenty
rods away. A laborer was lifted from
his feet, and on striking terra firma
again, his legs were broken by the
shook. No other damage to life was
reported, but the destruction of prop
erty was considerable.
Further account of the destruction
of the Spensley property at Mineral
Point says twelve persons were in the
bouse, all of wtiom Baved themselves
by going into the cellar, except a Mrs.
Waller, who failed to reach that place
of safety before the house" was carried
away. A person that was present
says, The windows of the house were
blown in, the glass and sash falling
like hall upon the .helpless women,
the doors flew open, the house was
cleft in twain, and the strong air
grasped the form of Mrs. Waller, and
after bearing It aloft about four hun
dred feet dashed her to the ground,
nnon whloh she fell a lifeless cornse.
with two arms broken, and her body!
otherwise bruised Her shoes were
taken from her feet iind carried away
on the wings of a furious wind.
The house was entirely demolished
and swept from the foundation-, leav
ing the terrified wonife'ri and Children
on the site. Part df the hnuae wae
found one mile away, and a rafter of
the house was found tfve? a mile dis
tant, driven over five feet Into the
ground.
A large barn and carriage-house
stood about 300 feet northeast of the
house, which contained several bug
gies and cutters, horses, eto. The
barn and contents, oxceptthe horses,
were a total wreck. The hub of one
of the wheels of Mr. Waller's buggy
was cut out as if done by a piece of
machinery made for the purpose, the
other part of the wheel or buggy not
being in the least Injured. One of the
cutters could not be found anywhere.
The debris at the barn was lifted in
the air and taken in an opposite direc
tion from the passage of the oyolone,
which was a strange and, sebmlngly,
unaccountable phenomenon.
Some of the killed In that vicinity
Were Mrs. Waller, John Coleman,
Mrs. Leonard, Dan Zimmera and
daughter, of Highland, two children
of Mr. BeardBley, Mr. and Mrs. Bo
han, Wm. Ooley, of Waldwioh, and
Mr. Cramer.
A Fort AtkinBon special says, It
Btruok the ground at the west side of
Cedar. Lake, and passed eastward,
.taking a Btrip whroh would average
about thirty rods wide, although in
some places It" was half a mite wide. It
ran to BulwinklesvIUe, a distance of
sixteen or eighteen miles, before its
fury abated in the least. Cedar Lake,
southeast of Cambridge, Is three miles
long and two miles wide. It Btruok
the west half of the lake, and eye-witnesses
say that all the water was rais
ed up in the'ain about 200 feet and
hurled over on the eastern half. It
took the water up so olean that the
whole bottom was visible on the west
side. It then struck Oakland Center,
blew down the brick Town Hall and
the brick school house, taking one of
the soholars aud carrying him a num
ber of rods, and despoiling him in the
grave yard. He is somewhat bruised.
A ludy by the name of Hall, living
in the town hall, lost everything but
one chair. She Was slightly injured.
It, then took the roof fioni the new
German Church, and lifted itupabout
200 feet, held It there for a moment,
and then hurled it away over forty
rode. The churoh was a new briok
structure, and there is hardly a brick
left in its place. In this vioinity a
very large barn of Wm. Ward was
blown down and two horses killed.
His wind mill was ruined and orchard
destroyed'. Samuel Chapman's barn
was unroofed, Geo. Chaughney, Over
sol, John Danells, Kriprier"' Hawk,
Mrs. Witchey, John Grose, Mussoht,
C. Curtis, and many others had build
ings, orchards, fences, everything des
troyed. The dlspatoh says, "The
damage to fences, trees, and orchards
Is terrible. Board fences ,wera taken
up, the posts driven down in the
meadows and grain fields. The boards
were slivered up fine, and the slivers
are stuck ail over the fields, so that
mowing with maohlnes will be im
possible. Rail fences had the lead.
Rails flew anywhere and everywhere
going clear through houses, barns and
horses ; flying through windmills and
windows, and at last shooting down
Into some field ; driving themselves
deep into the ground. Grain is flat.
Everything looks as If It bad. been
combed. Large hickory trees were
mowed down as easily as oorn would
be. Parts of the buildings are Btrewn
all through the fields. Dead hogs
and poultry are strewn all over. Live
stook runs at large over the fields.
Some families are destitute, ati'd' out
side aid will probably be necessary. It
is the worst s'cene of destruction Wis
consin ever experienced in tho form
of a tornado. Only an eve-witness
can comprehend it;
