His clothes were tern from his back, and he re- ceived a number of wounds. At times the wind raised him high in the air'and then dropped him back to earth, only to catch him up again. and when the storm finally passed over him he was 150 yards or more from where the storm first atruck him. The wagon was com- pletely demolished. After traversing a distance of about two miles the funnel-shaped cloud arose as suddenly as it had shot down to the earth and at a point five or six miles farther to the north dropped again to earth, where it is feared great damage and loss of life resulted. The storm struck Lincoln at 4:45 and raged with unabated violence twenty-five minutes. During this period rain fell as from a cloud burst, accompanied by hail. The ‘| prevailing driftof the wind was from the southwest, but at times it nied by’ cyclonic features. Build ings were unroofed and torn down, cornices swept from roofs into the streets and the residence portion of the city nearly denuded of trees The greatest damage was at the State Hospital for the Insane, where many of the larger buildings were unroofed. The damage will be very heavy. The damage in the city will prob- ably reach $40,000, and may be much heavier, as the suburban dis- tricts are yet cut off from communi- cation. A number of people were severely injured. DUEL TOTHE DEATHIN FLORIDA. Three Men hilled and One Wounded in a Fight Over a Woman. Blountstown, Fla, May 9.—Be- cause of 3 woman, four men fought with pistols near this place yesterday afternoon. Three of the men were killed outright, and the fourth was severely wounded.

Danville, Ky., May 11.—Col. John B. Thompson, of Harrodsburg, this afternoon annourced himself as a Democratic candidate for Congress ; on a free silver platform. As the sound money wing of the party will be divided between two other candi- dates, Thompson will probably win. He is a twin brother of the noted ex- Congressman, “Little Phil” Thomp son, who was of counsel for the de fense in the Breckinridge Puliard trial, and is also a friend of Senator Blackburn.
