THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1" "B
THE DEADLY CYCLONE
SWEEPS THROUGH CHARLESTON
MISSOURI.
The Moans and Groans of the
Wounded.
Charleston Mo. Sept. 13.—The
damage done by the cyclone here
last night was much more serious
than at first reported. In addition
to those injured by the wrecking of
the Iron Mountain train by the
cyclone the following were serious-
ly injured: John C. Davis Eldo-
rado 111. leg injured; J. \V. Neck-
ston Centertown 0. internal in-
juries; W. H. Decamp Hamilton
0. head badly hurt; H. W. Hester
Morehouse Mo. shoulder dislo-
cated; George Mclndon Joplin
Mo. arm badly hurt; Mrs. J. W.
McCullough.
None of the trainmen were se-
riously injured with the exception
of James Boyle the express mes-
senger. He was badly bruised by
the falling of the express matter.
The local officers acted with
promptitude in relieving the dis-
tress and suffering and removing
the injured and those who escaped
to comfortable quarters. Physi-
cians were promptly summoned
and as quickly responded while
the citizens gathered to offer help.
The work of clearing the track
was at once undertaken and trains
ran as usual in a few hours. The
coaches of the wrecked train are in
need of much repair before they
will be fit for use but a special
train went out last evening to car-
ry the passengers to their destina-
tion. Steal Hunter of Sikeston
one of the passengers tells the cir-
cumstances that preceded the cy-
clone.
“Just after we started it looksd
in the south as if a whirlwind was
approaching. It was moving
rapidly twirling about taking up
leaves with it. Thinking that some
of the missiles might be hurled
through the window and becoming
suspicious of the mighty power
soon to be exerted I dropped from
my seat to the aisle where I lay
down. Suddenly thecoach in which
I happened to be reared and fell
over on its side. Shouts and
shrieks and moans and groans im-
mediately told of a horrible catas-
trophe. The shock was all over in
a few seconds and I escaped in-
jury.”
Sandow Issues a Challenge.
Cincinnati 0. Sept. 13.—Irv-
ing Montgomery the Englishman
who calls himself Irving Sandow
in view of the expected suit to be
brought against him by the Dan-
ish Eugene Sandow for the use of
the name “Sandow” tonight issued
a remarkable challenge to the lat-
ter. Montgomery offers to pass a
college examination against Eu-
gene Sandow or perform feats of
strength against him and offers to
deposit a forfeit of from $5OO to
$2000 to bind such a match.
Anarchists Conspiring Against the
Pope.
Rome Sept. 13.—The Tribune
says: Two men who it is suspect-
ed are anarchists were on Sunday
night observed by the Pontifical
patrol to be lurking around the
Vatican gardens where the Pope
often spends the day. The patrol
pursued and captured the men as
they were scaling the walls sur-
rounding the gardens after having
thrown away the arms they car-
ried. It is not known whether the
presence of the men in the gardens
was the result of a plot against the
Pope but many persons claim
that the prisoners were engaged in
an attempt upon the life of His
Holiness. The police are reticent
and refuse to divulge any knowl-
edge they may have of the matter.

APPLAUDED GROVER
For Trying to Secure Tariff Reform.
New York Sept. 13.—The coun-
ty committee of the New York
state democracy last night adopt-
ed resolutions applauding the
efforts of President Cleveland
and Chairman Wilson to secure
tariff reform. The action of the
states congressmen who voted
against the Wilson bill was de-
nounced. The resolutions alsocon-
demned the “Attitude of thatsena-
tor from New York who in the last
national convention earnestly and
successfully supported a radical
amendment to the tariff plank of
the platform and was subsequent-
ly elected to the senate by a Dem-
ocratic legislature and who not-
withstanding his responsibility' for
the party’s pledge to the people
has with cynical indifference to
his own obligations and to the
wishes of the party betrayed the
trust he so willingly assumed when
he sought and secured an election
to the senate of the United States.
We call attention to the persistent
and successful attempts of the so
called sugar trust to shape and
control tariff legislation in its own
favor as a striking and conclusive
evidence of the truth of the Demo-
cratic contention regarding trusts.”
HURRAH FOR JIM.
HE TALKS AMERICAN STRAIGHT
TO PETER.
Corbett Calls Jackson a Fake and
Says he is Ready to Whip
Him on 24 Hours’ Notice.
New York Sept. 13.—James J.
Corbett in a signed article in the
World this morning says: “Now
if Jackson wants to fight I will
name as referee the men as satis-
factory’ to me now. The following
are the acknowledged referees of
this country: John Duffy of New
Orleans; P. J. Donohue of New
York; George Siler of Chicago;
John Kelly’ of New York and Al.
Smith of New York all of them
satisfactory to me. I want to put
this man on record. Does he dare
to insinuate that any of these men
would stoop to give him the worst
of it? He talks about fighting tn
three months when he knows that
this club has shown him that it is
impossible to bring it off in that
time. If he is anxious to fight me
why don’t ho come to where I am
and he can get all the fight he
wants in twenty-four hours’ notice
or I will meet him secretly at
once at any place he names.
I will show him up plainly.
The truth of the matter is this
man hates Americans because he
is not allowed to pose and strut
about and be looked up to and
worshipped as he is on the other
side of the water. When he sails
for England he will never return
here and while' three thousand
miles away will keep up his wordy
warfare on me and try to persuade
the public that he is on the level
when I know’ his purpose in going
to that country is to engage in a
fake fight with another broken
down fighter like himself Frank
P. Slavin. He says that he is not
an actor and that his theatrical
contracts do not Interfere with
him.
No because his attempts to ap-
pear on the stage was a dire failure
and the managers throughout the
country now refuse to book him
again.
In conclusion Mr. Peter Jackson
I tell you plainly that I will fight
you privately or openly in one
week one month two months or
three months for as much money
as you can raise purse or no purse
in a club barge in a hack in a
room anywhere in America.
(Signed) James J. Corbett.”
