Grewsome Task of Recovering the Bodies and Rescuing the Injured. CARING FOR THE WOUNDED. Scores of Physicians and Trained Nurses at Work Among the Disaster’s Victims. SHERMAN, Tex., May 16.—The horror- stricken people of Grayson and Denton counties have been engaged for the last twenty-four hours in the grewsome work of recovering and counting the dead vic- tims of yesterday's cyclone and allevia- ting the sufferings of the injured. The story of the disaster to life and property cannot be fully told to-night. Two hundred corpses, by a conservative estimate from all points stricken by the iury of the elements, may cover the fatali- ties, Another hundred men, women and children have already been reported seri- ously injured, and two score of these sufferers are not expected to live. The wounded in the neighborhood of Sherman are scattered over a territory ten miles in length, being cared for by friends and strangers, which renders the task of gathering names slow and difficult in the midst of the accompanying flood and Gebris. The property loss is heavy. The storm of wind, rain, thunder and lightning began near Justin, in the south- east corner of Denton County, and passed easterly and northerly through Grayson County until the Red River on the Indian Territory border was reached, when it di- vided into two bodies. One passed to the east, striking the town of Joel, Chickasaw Nation. The main fork of the tornado continued due north some distance above the earth, but descended at | Carpenter’s Bluff, eight miles east of here, tearing everything from its path. Houses and barns were scattered over the prairies, men, women and children blown in every direction, many being so badly injured that fatalities may result. Stock were | killed and the dead bodies carried for hun- dreds of yards in midair. Large timbers were picked up asif so much paper, twisted and torn into splinters, ana the stouter pieces hurled through dwellings or what may have been in the way. The cyclone traveled 100 miles, but its width was con- fined to 150 yards. The list of dead as far as recovered and 1dentified is as follow: At Sherman, between Post Oak Creek and Grays Hill—Mrs. L. H. Montgomery, two children, third one missing and un- doubtedly dead; Otto Baldinger, two children; John Ames, wife, one child; Mrs. J. L. Burns, two children; Elder J. P. Shearer and wife; William Hamilton, farmer; Mary Bell Jenkins; Mrs, George Anderson and infant daughter; Mrs. Daxe Herring and two children; D. T. Pierce and son Thomas; John Fields; T. H. Pierce and three children; E. Herring; Mrs. Elijah Zerns; Miss Herne and in- fant; white man and two white children recovered this afternoon, not identified. | All the foregoing are white. The colored dead are: Welsey Patrick’s infant child; Joseph Walker; Lucy Bal- linger and daughter Sloan; Mary, John, Letitia and Fastus Lake; James Walker; Nora Nickenson and two children; Kate King; Frank Andrews; granddaughter of Lucy Ballinger, and an unidentified woman. At Denton, five killed and twenty wounded. At Justin, three killed. At Howes and vicinity, twelve killed, including Mrs. James Davis and three lit- tle girls. Near Van Alstyne, Grayson County, Mrs. Jolinson killed. Five miles southwest of Sherman, one killed and five injured, one fatally. At Gribble Springs—Four killed, thirty- five injured. At Mound Ridge—Six fatally. At Red River—John Devaut and three members of family fatally injured. At Joel, Chickasaw Nation—Twelve in- jured, some fatally; thirteen houses de- stroyed. The village of Keller was destroyed and several injured. The following are among the seriously injured at Sherman: Professor and Mrs. Konler, J. B. Irwin's six children, Dr. Michael, Mrs. Craighead, Mrs. Atkins, “Handwound” Clark, a horse-trainer; James Herron, leg broken, head wound ; John Ames' two children; Jane and Harriet Tucker, May Patty, Jim English, Budge Patrick, wife and child; Ben Cephalius, wife and two children; Mrs. Chisholm, Charles Puckett, Murdy Pat- rick, Mattie Jefferson, Jane Muffing, Mrs. John Lake, Georgie Nickerson, Tom Jen- kins, wife and five children; Henry Miller, wife and two cHildren; Granville Jenkins, piece of wood pierced a thigh; Ed Halzell, wife and son and B. F. Woodward, in the cellar of the Halzell residence and buried under debris; Harriet Lake (colored), Let- tie and James Burns, Jesse Brown and wife; Ike Shearer, son of Rey. Mr. Shearer, who was killed; Philip Nichols, Mrs. John Irvine, four chil- dren and W. 8. Boutwick, who was in the Irvine residence: James, Hester and Nanny Nickerson, of the family which was partly killed; David Herring and Mrs. T. H. Pierce, who alone escaped death at their respective homes, probably fatally hurt; Henry Patrick (colored) and three children, Mattie Johnson (colored), fa- tally; John Newhouse, wife and four chil- dren, Harriet Henaricks (colored), legs broken; Miss Eva Pierce, daughter of T. H. Pierce, who was killed, leg and arm broken ; Wright Clark and wife; Mrs, Dan Busty, cut her foot. injured, one In the community, five miles from this city a man named Tavlor was killed, his wife fatally injured, Buck Allsops, wife and children badly hurt, and Mrs. Martin 'was also injured. Messrs. Dennis, Gibbons, Rilev. Brown, Howdy, Shell, Bob Martin, Corder, Dave Taylor, J. W. Fields, Despain and Jim | Davis had their homes swept into the air and shattered to splinters in this settle- ment. Many barns were also destroyed. The special and regular trains which came into the gloom-enshrouded city to- day were filled with volunteer physicians and nurses, anxious relatives and friends of the dead and injured. Many parents of young ladies attending the local colleges arrived to see ihat no harm had befallen them. Searching parties were sent out along the path of the grim reaper to gather the harvest of bodies from the flooaed wreckage and relieve the sufferings of those injured who bad not been found during the night. The women of Sherman were as brave as the men and much heroic work was done for love of humanity. The common sorrow obliter- ated the line which divides the negro from the Southern white, Followers of the Red Cross on the field of carnage could not have done more than the white men and women did to-day and iast night for the dying and suffering survivors of the black race, who comprised the majority of the yictims. The banks of Post Oak Creek, which the cyclone made a cemetery of, were lined all day with hundreds of anxious and curious visitors, watching with different feelings the search for more bodies among the mud and water soaked debris, Reports came in from points down tne creek that the loss of life outside the city limits had been worse than feared. At the suspension bridge dead and injured lay in every di- rection, and the few houses that had escaped the wind were crowded with liy- ing victims. Atthe Houston-street bridge corpses, deada and injured people formed a heart-rending spectacle. All available wagons were pressed into the services of the volunteer brigade to remove the dead to the morgue and the living to the temporary hospitals. Eeventy- one coffins had been sold at 2 o’clock this afternoon, and neighboring towns were called on to furnish more. It isknown that the death list in the outlying part of this city will reach nearly 100. Many persons are reported missing, which is regarded as equivalentto being numbered with the dead; in some cases whole families not being beard from. It is believed that many bodies of negroes will vet be taken from Post Oak Creek. The storm missed Denison by a gap of two miles. The names of the victims in other places cannot be obtained because the telegraph and telephone wires are down. Tke excitement to-night has not abated a bit, but the colured people have recovered from their fright and are among the hardest workers in the searching par- ties. Van Alystine, Howe, Bells, Denison and Whitewright sent a score of physi- cians to help the local corps. On Reynolds Prairie, twelve miles north- east of here, seven houses, all occupied, were blown down. Several occupants were seriously hurt. Last night the relief committee an- nounced that Grayson County would take care of the dead and wounded without as- sistance. At that time the committee dia not know the extent of the destruction of property or loss of life. They made the following announcement this afternoon: “The loss of life and proverty by the cyclone is much greater than was sup- posed last night and the number injured is much larger. The dead and wounded exceed 200 and the loss of property will exceed $200,000. Sherman is taking good care of all the wounded, but many families have lost theirall and are left destitute. All contributions will be thankfully re- ceived, as they will help us to give to those who must commence life anew. CRE St OTHER SECTIONS SWEPT. Great Damage Done by the the Cyclone in Southwestern Missouri. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 16.—Special tele- grams trom points in Southwestern Mis- souri announce that the cyclone of Friday night did great damage in that section. Near Golden City the north branch of Spring River has overflowed thousands of acres of growing grain. At Carthage a locomotive went into a washout on the St. Louis and Sun Francisco road. Engi- neer McDonald was scalded and Fireman Russell’s right lez was crushed. At Neosho Scarrett College was unroofed and a Baptist church wrecked. JOPLIN, Mo., May 16.—A very heavy rain visited this city this morning, swell- ing Willow branch to a width of 200 feet. The stream crosses main street and many business houses were flooded. The Pitts- burg and Gulf Railroad is washed out for 200 feet south of the depot and hundreds of men will be thrown out of work for some time, owing to tne flooding of the mines. The water rose to a height of six feet on Main street, undermining the foundations of three stores and flooding others so that the doors burst open. A score of families were driven from their homes. The total loss is estimated at $40,000, the mine-owners being the heavi- est losers. QUINCY, IiL, May 16.—A rain and wind storm that blew almost a hurricane swept over this section this evening, doing great damage to fruit and shade trees. The telephone and telegraph lines are prostrated and communication with the surrounding country is almost entirely cut off. The Comstock Castle Stove Works were unroofed and numerous other buildings were damaged in this city. News from Bushnell says that the storm was equally severe there. As far as learned there has been no loss of life Willing to Return to Work. MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 16.—A com- mittee of citizens and strikers met the rep- resentatives of the electric road yesterday and during a conference lasting all the afternoon the strikers declared themselves willing to return to work at the old rate of 19 cents per hour and to drop the demand of recognition of the union in case the company take back the strikersin a body and dismiss the ‘‘scabs” so far employed. The company, however, refused te do the latter, but it 1s hoped that it will accede to- MOIrow. SR ST Judge Nelson Retires. DULUTH, Mix~., May 16.—There was great surprise in the United States Court yesterday over the retirement of Judge Nelson. He was in the midst of a trial when he astonished every one by dismiss- ing the jury, adjourning court and an- nouncing his retirement ta_private life. Judge Nelson is the oldest Judge in point of service on the Federal bench, having been appointed nearly forty years ago. s e First Shot His Wife. CHICAGO, Irn., May 16.—Robert Ed- wards, formerly an employe of the Pull- man Palace Car Company, with a home at Pittsburg, Pa., coromitted suicide in this city to-night after first shooting his wife in the temple. Mrs. Edwards may re- cover. Edwards has been out of work, and this, together with jealousy, is sup- posed to be the cause of the suicide and attempted murder. A Fa:nous Resort Burned. KNOXVILLE, TeNN., May 16.—The famous Montvale Springs Hotel at Mont- vale Springs, Blount County, was burned yesterday. The place was one of the most grominen: summer resorts in the South. he property wasownea by Robert Bonner of New York and other Eastern capitalists, and was valued atv §$50,000; insurance $15,000. vag l ALL PLACED ON AN EQUALITY, Action of the A. P. A. Su- preme Council on Repub- lican Candidates. MKINLEY BOYCOTT OFF. Neither Is There Any Objection to Allison, Reed, Quay or_ Others in the Raca. THE ADVISORY BOARD UPHELD Vigorous Opposition to the Proposed Promoticn of Colenel Cop- pinger. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.—The Supreme Council of the A. P. A. to-night unanimously adopted the report of the advisory board. This report is as follows: Your board finds, after investigation, that there is no reason why any of the following- named candidates for the Republican nomina- tion for President of the United States, cam- Ppaign of 1896, may not be supported by the members of the order: Willlam B. Ailison of Iowa, Thomas B. Reed of Maine, Matthew . Quay of Pennsylyania, Shelby M. Cullom of 1llinois, Governor Bradley of Kentucky, Benja- min Harrison of Indiansa, Levi P. Morton of New York and William McKinley of Ohio. Regarding the matter heretofore appearing in the public press relative to Governor Mc- Kinley, we find that it was sustained by the evidence in the p ion of the executive committee of this board at the time of publi- cation; but the subsequent statements re- ceived by this board from the special commit- tee sent by authority of this board to inter- view Governor McKinley show that he denies and explains the greater part of the matter contained in said evidence, and which state- ments are accepted by this board. Said com- mittee also reported that in said interview with Governor McKinley, he fully and une- quivocally indorsed the principles of this or- der, and in order that no injustice be done him we recommend that so much of this ac- tion as may be deemed wise be given to the ress for publication. No candidates of any other political party have been investigated for the reason that none have yet come before the public suffi- ciently prominent to demand an investigation by this order. We also recommend that provision be made to ascertain the attitude toward the principles of this order of any and all candidates for place on National tickets to the end that the members of this order y be able to act and vote intelligently. The report is signed by B. F. Huadel- son, chairman pro tem, and Thomas 8. King, secretary. A resolution relative to the promotion of Colonel Coppinger, United States Army, to be brigadier-general, introduced by Delegate Jerome Burke of this city, was also adopted as follows: WHEREAS, The Senate of the United States has for more than & quarter of & century com- mitted a great injustice by promoting succes- sively through meny grades of rank in the regular army, one Coppinger, a foreign mer- cenary, who bas denied allegiance to the Unit ates while living upon its bounty and enjoying its emoluments and benefits; and, whereas, the promotion of the said Coppinger was done at the expense of gallant and mer- itorious officers of the army of American birth gnd ellegiance by jumping the rank of his senior officers, while he still refused to take the oath of allegiance to its Government. Resolved, That we hereby protest against the recent promotion of Colonel Coppinger as an injastice to the brave aud efficient officers of the army who were born upon our soil and educated at our National military academy and under the influence of republican institu- tions, s being subversive of the good of the military service and the laws under which it is established. Resolved, That the recent oath of allegiance to the Government taken upon himself by said Coppineer is not proof of his allegiance to it, but a death-bed repentance which circum- stances forced upon him as a necessity to the sccomplishment of an unworthy purpose and by the assent of others to whom he owed a superior allegiance. Resolved, That we hereby pledge ourselves to secure the passage and observance of such laws that the rights of American officers shall be respected in promotions, and the spirit of pure American patriotism be thereby enforced and encouraged. The committee on the Armenian ques- tion submitted a resolution, which was also adopted, denouncing the persecution of the Armenians, expressing indignation at the apathy of the European powers, “and especially at the infamous con- nivance of the Roman institutions with the foul savagery of the Mahommedan fanatics in the work of extermination.” The election of officers was proceeded with until midnignt, when, in deference to the objections of many of the members to transact business on Sunday, the council adjourned until 9 A. ». Monday. John W. Echols of Atlanta, Ga., was chosen supreme president: H. S, Williams of Boston, supreme vice-president; and Mr. Swayn of California, supreme secre- tary of state. The remaining officers will be chosen Monday. Washington was selected as the per- manent headquarters of the order. g GEOxGIA I8 FOR SILVER. Senator Walsh Discw: the Chances of the Demacrats. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 16.—Among the prominent Democrats from other States in town yesterday were Governor Atkinson and Senator Patrick Walsh of Georgia and Frank P. Arbuckle, chairman of the Colorado State Committee. “Georgia is for silver, and I think silver will control the National Convention,” suid Mr. Walsh. *‘Personally I am for Adiai E. Stevenson for President. He has made a good presiding officer in the Sen- ate. I think Cleveland will not be a can- didate for a third term.” “Idon’t see what the Democrats could ask better than the nomination of Me- Kinley by the Republicans,” said Mr. Arbuckle. “If they can’t beat him they can’t beat anybody. Colorado will send contesting delegations to the Chicago con- vention. The sound-money men will not bolt, I think. I do not beiieve that Uleve- land will be a candidate. Either Whitney or Carlisle would be a good nomination.” —_———— IT MEANS RETIREMENT. Carlisle Will Not Juin the Sound Money Campaign in Kentucky. FRANKFORT, Ky., May 16.—The sound money leaders in this State received tele- grams from Washington to-day, informing them of Secretary Carlisle’s determination not to come to Kentucky to assist in the sound money campaign prior to the Dem- ocratic State Convention. The announce- ment has disheartened the Becretary’s A friends, as they realize that the practical meaning of this is that Senator Blackburn and free silver will sweep the State Convention. Many of Mr. Carlisle’s friends think that it also means his retirement from the Presidential race, as it is believed he would not permit his name to go before the convention with a hostile delegation from hisown State. e HARRITY ON SOUND MONEY. Does Not Think Silver Men Will Boit the Chicago Convention. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 16.—Chair- man W. F. Harrity of the Democratic Na- tional Committee, who has been in the West for the past ten days, returned to Philadelphia this sfternoon. He said: *‘The name of ex-Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania was spoken oi very favor- ably by many prominent Democrats for the Presidency and his strength and avail- ability were generally conceded. Inevery place the chief inquiry is to what the Republican and Democratic National Con- vantions will do on tke currency question. After looking over the entire field I feel confident that the Democratic National Convention will declare for the soundest kind of sound money and that, too, by a decisive majority.” ‘Wil the free silver people bolt the con- vention?"! Mr. Harrity was asked. “Ido not think so. The will of the ma- jority ought to prevail. Those who enter a political conference, caucus or conyen- tion should be willing to abide by the de- cision of the majority, and for my part I think the men who declare that they will withdraw from the convention if their views are not adopted or their candidates not nominated, should be excluded from the convention. No man should be ad- mitted as a delegate who is not prepared to acquiesce in the will of the majority of the convention. This rule should apply to sound money men and free silver men alike,” “What about Mr. Cleveland? Is he a candidate for the nomination 2"’ . “I donot think so; but upon that sub- | ject I have no definite or positive knowl- edge. I can only repeat what I have above stated—that I have not yet seen or heard anything that leads me to believe that Mr. Cleveland either seeks or desires to be u candidate. He is always able to express himself in such a way as to be easily uaderstood. “In the absence of an intimation from Mr. Cleveland bimself or from some of his close friends it is generally assumed that he is neither willing nor anxious to be nominated at Chicago. This is only my individual opinion. I give it for what it is worth and I do so as a friend, admirer and supporter of President Cleveland.” S GOVERNOK ALTGELD SPEAKS. Opcns the Campaign for the Democratic Silver Forces. CHICAGO, IrL., May 16.—The first big | demonstration of the free silver coinage forces within the Democratic party of this State took place to-night at the Audi- torium. Governor Alteeld, the recognized leaderand a candidate for renomination on a platform of bimetailism, was the star at- traction and orator, creating unbounded applause among the 4000 men and women who listened closely to his forcible address on the money ‘guestion. The Governor’s declaration that the Federal administra- tion was in league with capitalists to per- petuate a gold standard evoked rounds of | applause. The Altgeld Legion escorted the Governor to the theater and Judge William Prentice introduced him to tne audience. Of Interest to the Coast. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.—A post- , office was to-day establishea at Gaviota, Santa Barbara County, and A. McNealy | was appointed Postmaster. D. H. Hurley of Riverside, Cal., is at the Willard.

FRESH ATTACK ON MEAT | Newspapers Cast Slurs Upon Methods of Inspection in America. | CRY AGAINST EMIGRATION, Particular Caution Against the Danger of Purchasing Land in the United States. BERLIN,Gerx. ,May 16.—The Reichs- anzeiger, the cfficial publication, prints a | warning to Germans against emigrating to America, the warning being especially | directed to clerks, teachers, officials, stu- dents, officers, governesses, nurses and farmers, all of whom would be likely to be possessea of some money, and they are var ticularly cautioned against the danger of purchasing !and in the United States, i Valueless land, or land to which titles of Possession are not in accord with the A merican conditions, form the subject of the articles in a great many German papers at present, and the general drift of the writings indicate that there are widespread fears of an existing or threatened competi- tion beiween American and German prod- ucts. For example, one paper in reporting the great success of the poultry and pigeon show held in New York in February last, expresses apprehension that there will soon be a great influx of American eggs into Germany. The most serious of these articles is Dr. Below’s virulent attack upon American meat. The article embodies a letter writ- ten by the head of the great Armour pack- ing establishment in Kansas City in answer to Dr. Below’s request that ex- aminations be made in Armour’s yards looking to the discovery of trichinosis. In his letter Mr. Armour contends that the system of exercising control over meats in operation in Berlin is incompati- ble with the greatness of the American trade. Dr. Below confines his attack chiefly to the American inspectors of meats, and complains that everything is left to their will. “If they receive an adequate annual stipend from the trade kings,” Dr. Below says, “‘we may be sure that the inspectors won’t be too particular in endeavoring to detect trichinosis.” Dr. von Boetticher, vice-president of the Council of Ministers, has informed the Reichstag committee of seniors and lead- ers of all the parties represented in the Chamber that the Government will insist upon the thorough discussion and passage of the civil code bill, and will not agree to an adjournment of the Reichstag over | the summer, but those who are familiar with the business of the Reicistag say that it will be impossible to retain a quo- rum p\lrim&the month of July. The Hamburger Nachrichteén, the organ of Prince Bismarck, strongly approves the Emperor's telegram in allusion to Dr. Stoecker, formerly Court Chaplain, which was published in the Berlin Post last week, wherein the Emperor declared that clergymen should attend to the souls of men and not mix in politics. The Nach- richten, in expressing approval of this sentiment, argues that the Kaiser himself is the summus episcopus for Prussia, therefore clergymen are state officials and are consequently forbidden to engage in political agitation.
