THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1873. The f treat Torntiito. unscnirnos ahd tiiiiili.ino incidents. Juit after tills hailstorm the sun came out, anil was shining brightly. It was about twenty minutes after two o'clock when tho residents near Lancaster heard a low rum ble, which sounded llko tho nolso of distant cannon or tho roar of n railroad train among tho hills. On looking to tho southwest n thin vertical streak of darkish cloud was seen against a clear sky, which, as it came nearer grow louder in its complaining and deeper in Its hue. It advanced apparently at an avcrago speed of forty'inllcs an hour, occupying a inlnuto or a nilnuto and a half in its passage. In width it covered a spaco of about' eighty rods) Us height was com paratively. Inconsiderable. It was, In fine, a whirling column of wind, given a color and almost a consistency by tho dust and water with which It was laden. Its passage was accompanied by frequent electrical dis charges, though tho lightning was more fre quent and notable than tho thunder, and after it camo a flood of rain, whoso fury no experience in tho State can parallel. Where it was prairie or ploughed land the earth was left a pool of water, and the streams were swollen Into torrents that raged within thoir old channels with the fury of so many small Niagaras, swallowing up overhanging banks and wooded knolls. Thu tornado first declared itself n liltleto the west of Lancaster, Keokuk county. Of the score of houses there it hardly Iclt one standing. Thence traveling to the north east, it passed abovo Talleyrand and south of Kiota, fortunately avoiding the village, hut laying wntc the Uerman settlement three miles away. It then left the earth for a dlstancu of nine miles, and swooped down again In Washington county, fie or six miles tu the north and west of Washington town. It ploughed a furrow of ruin heie about eight miles long, then leaped Into the air at Highland township, d.ishing to earth again in Midland township. This was the expiring effort of Its rage. m,TIiu path of ruin thus traced win about thirty miles in length. In no place did it exceed a quarter of a mile in width, nnd oc casionally it narrowed itself to n hundred yards or so. Its course was so precisely defined that at one point a farmer's barn's were swept away ami the trees in Ills yard uprooted, while bis house, though but thir ty feet away, was lelt untouched. The Iowa tornado did not content itself by flat tening houses anil barns intu lumber heaps. It strikes a building, and the building van ishes as if it had been blown up by gun powder, and only a ragged pit where the cellar once wns is left. Not far from Wasbigton town is the most accessible scene of disaster. Here the storm swooped down upon some dozen bouses, the residences of wealthy farmers, and swept them from the face of the earth us if with tho besom of destruction. Mr. L'un ningham's house and barn were blown into splinters and carried away, but the storm compensated for tho theft by a shower of sluvereil wood, boards una ratters, which fell In the fields, and, sticking there, made the farm look liku a fretful porcupine. There was butlittlu Imagination lequlred to make one believe that he stood at Agin eourt, Crcey or FloiMen, on a battle ground where tho terrible clothvard shafts of the archers had fallen thick as hail. Some of these fragments were embedded In two feet of clay, and defied tho strength of man to remove them. Old farmers say that in some localities it will bo impossible to proceed witli cultivation untit these cumbcrcrs of the ground shall have rotted. Many of tneso rutlo darts bore their billet, lor nogs wero found pierced in their vital parts, and several fowls were pinned to the ground by these shafts shot by the archers ot the air Some of the fowls were found dead witli but few feathers upon them, the feathers having been chafed off while tho birds were whirled about in the storm amid the myri ads ol abrading substances. There were four persons in the house, women and children, who were only slightly injured, though the wind took tho house away, nnd sucked them out of the cellar m which they had taken refuge. To crown all, the largo granary near tho house was unroofed, and several hundred bushels of grain poured lroni it into the cellar of the house, as neat' ly as if it had been dono by an elevator. Two invalid children, who hnd been put into a feather bed for security, were saved, tiiousii tho wind carried them fitly or sixty yards nwnr and covered them up with splinters and straw. There was not n tree left in tho orchard. Tho wind shelled the car corn in the cribs and scattered It every where. Halt a ilozcn tatted cuttle, wiitcn were awaiting tho butcher, were blown into n swamp, and ono had tho whole of its head aud neck driven into the earth. 'A cornsheller, weighing some blx hun dred pounds, was blown some hundred aud twenty rods. Mr. itnlirnrk'sliniisn and barns weit: car. lied away. With the furniture went $300 in bills nnd S1.600 in notes. The apple trees wero torn out by hundreds, and a lot of locust trees, some tour lcet in circum. ferencc, broken, off us neatly ns If n saw had been used to cut them through jubt nlxive the ground. Mr. Henry Walters' farm was swept clean. A cook stove was blown hal f a mile away. Aniomr tho other serious or curious inci dents may lxj mentioned the wicckhujof Mr. Waters' house and the probably fatal wounding of his mother by u broken Imaril that penetrated lier linen: 1110 mowing 01 a teamster, named linker, his wagon nnd teams, clean over a fence ; tho uprooting of some tombstones In a cemotery, near Lancaster; tho abstracting ot wou in giecnbacks, which an economical Uerman woman had hidden in tho roof of her house. and tho completo destruction of a large flock of bheep at tho same place, which were tossed up into tho nlr-tlll, ns an eye witness afllrmcd, they "looked like so many birds." Ot all tho terrible death, though it was mercifully instantaneous, that ol' Mrs. En- Kierdiuge, who liven iiiiout live nines troni Kiota, was tho most horrible. She was sick In lied with her baby when tho storm fame on nnd blew tho houso away. As it rose two or three of the larger timbers must have been driven against her bed with the swiftness of cannon balK Ono cut the ton of tho child s head off nnd cnrrled nwav part of the brain. Two others struck the uutortunalc woman in the abdomen and neck, broke her into fragments, us if she had been torn asunder by four wild horses or mown irom a cannon, inu legs and in ferior portions of the trunk went one way; part of the chest, the stomach and ono arm another i the other arm was torn off and found sticking In u bank of sand, and tho head, neck aud a fragment of the bust were found a long distance from the other ghast ly idles of humanity. The total Toss is variously estimated in money at $175,000 to iftlOO.OOO, including thhty-fhe houses, 1,200 sheep, 2,500 hogs, 100 bead of cattle forty horses and all the crops along the track of the storm. The list of killed and wounded Bhows twelve persons dead and twenty-nine wounded. Detailed reports nave yet to come in ironi ivcokuk county and several of tho wounded cannot lecover, so mat trom eigiiieen to ttvoniy-iivo name will probably lie on the death roll. A very singular murder wns icqently committed upon ono of the Irish railroads. The conductor of n night train, noticing that his train wus slackening its speed, went to the locomotive to scu what hail happened, and found neither tho engineer or tiio fireman umiii tliu engine, lie nt onco stopped tho train, nnd upon investiga tion', found tho engineer lying dead ,somo distance in the rear, with n fearful wound in Ids head. 'Shortly afterward tho fireman made his appearance, nnd stated that, they had hod a quarrel, and that during tho struggle,-he struck tho engineer, and both fell from tho engine. Fortunately) tho speed of the train In some manner was slackened or a most appalling disaster might have taken plnco. Such a possibility as this la not, a very pleasant consideration for railroad travelers. Engineers and lire men who' hayp troublo with each other would display moro consideration If they would walt for tho' first station and their settlo It, rather than knock each other off tho engine, and leave a train to go on Its way with no ono to control it. Railway traveling has dangers enough now-a-tlays growing, put of .careless conductors' aud other cause wltlvout having this now dan gcr. added." A locomotlvo cab Is tho best place in tile world in which to keep one's temper. (DIotlUug. tit, B ATES' HOUSE CORNER.
