100 DEAD
ANDJOUNDE
A Town in Georgia Struck by a
Cyclone.
THE.DEADLY WIND COMPLETELY
DEMOLISHED A SCHOOL BUILD?
ING IN WHICH THERE WERE
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE,
HARDLY ONE OF WHOM ES?
CAPED INJURY?SEVERAL LIVES
LOST AT BLAKELY.
Atlnnta, Ga., March 22.?A special to
the Evening Constitution from Arling?
ton, tin,, says: A cyclone struck this
town to-day and has left behind it a trail
of death and disaster. The high school
building was blown to pieces and from
the wreck nearly a hundred dead, dying
and injured people have already been
taken.
Dead?Ollie Parramore, Claude Rob
erts, Alice Putnam. Albert Butler, Wil?
lie McMuiray, Ken nit h Boynton, Maude
Johnson, Mary Wellons, all school chil?
dren.
Injured?Prot Covington, school
teacher; Prof. Walker, teacher.
At least ten others will die, according
to the hasty reporls of the corps of emer?
gency physicians now caring for the in?
jured. Prof. Walker cannot live and
Prof. Covington is seriously hurt. Not a
single soul in ^the big building escaped
injury.
About ~:W o'clock there was a lull in
the high wlnds'which had prevailed, wiv?
ing some promise of a clenr day. Prof.
Covington, going out to look around, be?
held a dark cloud, well fringed with elec?
tricity moving rapidly in the direction of
the school. His trained eye at once told
him there was danger. Hurrying the
children into the building for salety, the
??oaring of the cominu cyclone was upon
them before they had time to think. The
storm increased in strength and velocity
and the building began to shake and ca?
reen as if it rocked in the arms of a
mighty force. The building was
wrenched into fragments so that the
pieces fell inward, and aiming the first
struck were Claude Huberts and Alice
Putnam who were knocked into insensi?
bility of deatli at the first blow. Little
Willie McMurray had been caught under
the heavy timber and the life was crushed
out of him. Kennith Boynton was the
next who was seen vainly endeavoring
to escape from the death trap, but too
late, for the fatal blow had been*)itruck.
Ptofessors Covington and Walter both
worked hard, notwithstanding serious
wounds?the latter perhaps fatally.
The scene was soon surrounded by the
parents of the children. The sight of
eight little ones already dead and of ten
others crushed, bruised nnd bleeding in
all the phases of torture, was enough to
wring the stoutest heart. Among those
Wounded, quite a number are not ex?
pected to live and it is more than likely
that the list of dead will be doubled be?
fore nil/lit. This is the most shocking
disaster which has ever occurred in this
section.
Blakely was struck by a severe storm
this morning that did enormous damage
and cost several lives. The chaos caused
by tiie storm is still present and during
the confusion nothing can be definitely
learned as to the amount of harm done
or the number of lives lost.
It is known, however, that several are
killed an?' many more so severely injured
that they will probably die.
A RADICAL MOVE. Kj
Albany, N. Y., March 22.?What has
been feared and suggested by the Repub?
lican leaders from the interior and up
country section of the Btate has come to
pass. They argued that the creation of a
greater city of New York was the firs.,
step toward making a separate State out
of the teriltory adjacent to New York
hnrbor. Assemblyman Trainer will to?
night introduce two bills looking toward
the creating of a new State out of the
counties of New York, Kings, Rich?
mond, Queens, Suffolk, West ChesterVnd

JSTOKE, VA., TUfiS
WON'T HURT ROANOKE.
Norfolk and Western Reductions
Will Help This City.
There will bo some very important
changes made in the divisions of tho Nor?
folk and .Western railroad, but. exactly
what they will be has not yet been an
nonnced. It Is rumored, however, that
tho road will be redivided and made into
three or possibly four divisions. This,
rvill cut off soveral division superintend?
ents. The divisions that now exist num?
ber about twelve, with eleven superin?
tendents, and in the event that the road
is sub-divided and made only three, a
number of division superintendents will
be discontinued.
A representative of The Times called
at Major Bauds' office, but could not gain
an interview, as he was busily engaged
with Division Superintendent J. C. Cas
sell. It is understood that Mr. Cassell
will be retained.
It also comes from good authority that
the Norfolk and Western hns secured the
contract to furnish the IlliuolsSteei Com?
pany and several big Pennsylvania com?
panies with coke. These companies will
use a great deal of coke and this will be
a big thing for tho Norfolk and Western.
Tito clearing of the recent smoke by dis?
charging a good many of the employes of
the-road reveals a great thing for Koan
oke. It seems that it is the railroad com?
pany's idea to concentrate all their works
in Koanoke and to that end have dis?
charged about 145 men at Blueficld,
about 00 at Shenandoah and many others
at other points along the line.
It will be remembered that whan the
first reduction was made at this place
that it was said to be only temporary and
now it appears that the company, instead
of decreasing their force at this place,
will in all probability increase, but at the
expense of other points.
A gentleman in a position to know said
the general master mechanic at Slieuau
doah had orders to send all the heavy
work they had to the shops at this place.
It is a well known fact that the road now
has all that it can possibly do with one
track and the securing of *iie Illinois
steel trade and tho Pennsylvania trado
will, it is thought, force them to double
track their line.
*<The officers of the road here have very
little to say, bat a more cheerful look is
on their faces and thny appear in better
spirits. It is confidently expected that
the cominc spring will bring some good
things to Roauokc in the way of perma?
nent Improvements.
The main idea of the road now seems
to be to make it pay and to that end thoy
are bending every energy. Just what
further will be done Is not yet definitely
known, but it Is safe to predict that no
more reductions will be made in tho
forces employed here and the present as?
pect nliown i\ good friend to Itonnuke
somewhere in the management of the
Norfolk and Western railroad.

POPULISTS SNUBBED.
Speaker Reed Refused to Recog?
nize Them.
Washington, March 22.?Speaker Reed
is not disposed to regard tho Populists
in the House as a separate organization.
About ten days ago the Populist repre?
sentatives presented a petition to Speaker
Reed, red ting the fact, that nt the* last
election they had cast about two million
votes; elected governors in five States;
elected twenty-seven members of the
present House, aud requesting, therefore,
that they have a representation on the
committees on ways and mentis, judicia?
ry, appropriations, banking, coiunce, elec?
tions and others.
Mr. Reed has just replied that he pre?
ferred to recognize the Populists as n
part of the Democratic organization and
that decision will stand for thio Congress
at least.

Views of the Minority in the House
of Representatives.
MR. BAILEY- STATES THE POSI?
TION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PAR?
TY UPON .THE TARIFF? PRO?
TEST WAS MADE AGAINST THE
SHABBY TREATMENT ACCORDED
THEM BY THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
Washington, March 22.?The views of
the minority of the committee on ways
and means upon the tariff bill were pre?
sented to the House tins evening by Rep?
resentative Bailey, of Texas, the leader of
ti?e Democracy. The report devotes 2,000
words to a general arraignment of the
protective principle, and concludes with
the statement that the minority "are uu
aide to oiler a substitute for the pendiug
hill, because we have not been allowed a
reasonable time to prepare one. Con?
gress convened in extraordinary session
on Monday, tho 15th day of March, aid
this bill was introduced the same day and
referred to the committee on ways and
means, which met the next morning, and
on Thursday it was ordered to he reported
to the House. The majority of tho com?
mittee had spent three months of the last
session of the last Congress in the prep?
aration of their bill, and yet they refused
toallotv the minority three weeks in
which to prepare a substitute. We are
unwilling to propose a measure that has
not been carefully matured, and we must
therefore content ourselves with protest?
ing against the passage of the commit?
tee's hill." .
At the evening session of the House
about B*0 members were in their seats,
while the galleries, as", at all night ses?
sions, were filled to overflowing.
Mr. Taylor, of Indiana, was the first
speaker in opposition to the hill. He de?
voted some time to a criticism of tho ma?
jority for rushing through the House the
four appropriation bills last week, aud,
turning his.attention to the tariff bill,
ridiculed the free list.
lie was followed by Mr. Greene, of Ne?
braska, who made a general political
speech around tho question "how are the
people to buy the products of Idle mills I
which are to he started by tho Dingley
bill, when they can't buy what the mills
now open prpduce?"
Mr. C.reeit'u-iias some of the arts of the
nniixjiv and is llkelv to be beard fronr
Again before (he session closes.
Toward the close of Iiis speech, Mr.
Greene was asked what relief he proposed
for the farmers, in whose behalf lie was
attacking the construction of the tariff
hill.
?'I will tell you," was his response, fol?
lowed by derisive laughter from tho Re?
publicans. "(Jo back to the use of money
of the constitution of which you have de?
prived them." (Democratic applause).
"And I'll tell you another thiug yen [can
do?you can keep your hands out of our
pockets." (Democratic applause). "All
we have ever asked was that laws be
passed so that the people of the East, the
West, the North and the South should
enjoy equal protection in tho products of
their labor."
A Republican asked: "Whose hands are
in your pockets?"
"PI' toll you." sharply responded Mr.
Greene, "the hands of the protected mo?
nopolies and trusts of the East are in
them." (Democraticapplause).
"Prosper'ty will not return to the
land," Mr. Greene snid, "until plenty was
restored to the borne of the consumer and
that could b<? secured best, all history de?
monstrated, when the volume of circula
t;ng medium was greatest imong the peo?
ple. The friends of silver wanted that
restored to its old-time privileges and'uso,
and they proposed to have it. Then there
would be protection to the fanner, the
wife, the miner, and the time would come
when equal rights should be extended to
all and special pirivilcges to none." (Loud
applause on the lloor and in the galleries.)
Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, also op?
posed the bill, saying that there was ab?
solutely nothing in the last campaign
and election which justified the assump?
tion ou the Republican Bide'.tbat the people
either expected or desired the passage of
any such measure as this tariff bill.
That was not the issue upon which the
Republican party won its victory.
The last speech of tho evening was
made by Mr. Drucker, of Michigan, who,
as the representative of the Kaginaw val?
ley district, Inveighed against the Iniqui?
ty of the proposed increase in the duty
on 1 umher. He denounced any protec?
tive tariff on lumber as an outrage.
yAt 10:30, half an hour before the limit
of the session, no one else was desirous of
addressing the House, whereupon the
committee rose and the House adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow.

DEBATING
THEJARIFF.
For Many Days the Orators Will
Spout.
MR. WHEELER, OF ALABAMA,
MADE AN ABLE SPEECH IN OP?
POSITION TO THE BILL, FOR
"WHICH HE RECEIVED LIBERAL
APPL a.USE?SENATE AT WORK
FOR FORTY MINUTES AND THEN
GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Washington, March 22.?The tariff de?
bate was fairly ami regularly started in
the House to-day and drill be kept up for
the next three days, after which time the
discussion will lie on amendments that
may be ofFered. The reading of the bill
occupied nearly two hours nud a half, al?
though there was no pretense on tho part
of the clerk that lie was following the
text in full.
Tlie chair was occupied by Mr. Sher?
man, of New York, as chairman of the
committee of the whole. The opening
speech was made by Mr. .Dingley, chair?
man of the committee on ways and
means, ami was an exhaustive explana?
tion and defence of the measure.
The tirst speecn in antagonism to it
was made by Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, a
member of the committee on ways and
means. He asserted that the prosperity
which the people of the. United States
had enjoyed hail been the result of their
own industry and energy: not of the pro?
tective system. In fact, it had been ac?
complished, he said, in spite of the pro?
tective system. Even the wonderful suc?
cess of the iron industry in Alabama
owed nothing to thejdd of protection.
By unanimous consent, Mr. Wheeler's
t ime was extended until lie bad finished
his remarks?which met with frequent
outbursts of applause. His speech was
I olio wed by one in favor of the bill, made
by Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, another
member of the committee on ways and
means, and by one against it, by Mr. Bell,
of Colorado.

ing the consideration of the tariff bill,
