KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Maren 7— ‘The Madisonville storm horror i» ported. The section devastated by the hurrieane of Saturday night has deen visited by thousands today. ‘The tornado extended twenty miles, commencing near Jellico Junction, continuing to a point twelve miles north of Madisonville. It so hap- pened that no residences were in its course, save those razed at Madison- vile, and four small houses in the tewn of Ninaburg. Many barns were destroyed, and at least fifty horses, monies and cattle were killed. In addition to the list of injured farn- ished last night, there is Dillon Rog- ers, @ prominent Jeweler of Madison- ville, struck on the head by @ fall- ing brick.

Person- ally he had no belief tn those tada- ists and cranks who from time to time sprang up in every art to turb the existing state of things by sheer audacity and eccentricity. His experience taught him that such monstrous artistic upheavals gener- ally subsided forever into obscurity.
