Thescene of the cyclone is a hard one
to describe. Houses, fences, trees and ob-
structions of all kinds In the path of the
storm have been carried away, and noth-
In: la left to mark the spot where they
stood except holes in the ground.
The scene devastated Is about a quarter
of a mile wide and six miles In length, the
great tunnel shaped cloud traveling in an
Irregular shaped course. The greatest
damage was done about smile from where
It arose.
' The building in which were Daniel Bar-
rett, his wife and their two granddaugh-
ters, Myrta and Martha Dase, Is so com-
pletely demolished that not even a portion
of the foundation is left. The nearest
t romnauts of the house areat least 100 yards
from where It stood. Here are a few scat-
tered boards. and further on can be seen
portions of the building. About 40 rods
from where it stood lays the roof, almost
intact, together with portions of the frame-
work.
Mrs. Barrett, who was the worst man-
gled, was carried over a quarter of a mile
and dropped in a cemetery, her dismem-
bered limbsbcing found about 100 yards
farther on. There was very little left of
the woman's body that resembled the form
of a human being.
Cyclone’a Fearful Work.
The search for her remains continued
fully an hour before flesh of half her
weight was found. Daniel Barrett was
carried about it) rods from where the cy-
L‘IOD‘Q struck him. HID hhfid was him till

One leg was beaten into a pulp. and he

breathing when found. but died soon after-

Martha and lllyrta Dare. who were in
another part. of the house, were left near
where the. house seems to have gone to
pieces. Martha, the eldest, aged H. was
apparently Injured only about the head,
which was crushed. Covered with blood.

' storm coming and made for the barn. lie
succeeded in getting his horses Inside and
rods distant from the barn and exactly in

the man was lifted from the ground and
whirled Into the air at least 100 feet, to—
gether with timbers, fences. trees and
other debris scooped up in the rolling ova.

escape. lie was in the field with a team

PERHAPS A BOMB.
Explosion In a Big Pot of loite- Scrap
Iron [flares Plea Ilsa.
BUFFALO, May 18.-—A serious explosion
occurred in the cupola of the Buffalo
School Furniture company’s foundry, and
five maiden—John Schneider,l‘red Bes—
aer, Samuel Henry, Fred Orge and George
Schneider—wei badly hurt. Molten iron
was thrown about the foundry. The men
who Were injured were both out and burn-
ed by the flying metal.
The Fitch hospital surgeons were quickly
on the scene and took the injured men to
the hospital. All of the injured men are
married except one.
The iron used in the cupola of the School
Furniture company is mostly scrap iron,
and many of the men who were at work
on the floor, as well as some members of
the firm, incline to the opinion that there
was a bomb or some sort of explosive ma-
terial in the scrap iron, and that caused
the explosion.
However, it may have been caused by
gas generated from the who used in melt
lag the iron.
Valentine Schneider Is so badly Injured
that he will die. lienry and Urge are very
severely .burned, but they may recover.
The explosion completely wrecked the
cupola and damaged the end of the found-
ry. It was a terrific report and could be
heard for many blocks.

W. my ill—The minera' con-
fereacehasf’ailedto eettlethetroublebv
tween the miners and operators. Tbeop-
eratora refused to accede to the conditions
of the miners, and the situation remains
as before the conference.
Colonel A. P. Read ofChIcacosald be
came to pour oil on the troubled waters.
Benn-zed both sldestomakeaome com
alone. and he said the £6 cent and so cent
basis for mining was too low and proposed
a compromise of III and on cents. Hescored
the Miners' association for refusing tcper~
mit miners to work in the mines where the
operators had conceded the demands of
their men and said that the czar of Russia
would not dare to issue such an arbitrary
nkaee. Turning to the miners, he said:
"You miners must consent to a compro-
mise scale. If not. these operators will
fight you until you are defeated. I am
your friend. Let me implore you to come
together. You, miners, abandon your false
position. You. Wilton, give the miners
more. Say you agree on a 60 cent basis for
Ohio." Colonel Rand’s remarks were ap-
plauded by the operators and miners.
Mr. R. H. Johnson of Hocking moved to
refer the matter back to the committee of
conference. The chair decided that Mr.
Chapman’s motion to agree to the report
was before the house.
President J. A. Crawford of the lllinois
Miners' association made a short address,
in which he referred to Colonel Rand's
statement about his war record and said
he had done it to strike the shackles of!
4,000.0(0 slows.
MoBrIde‘s Resolution.
When the conference reassembled in the
afternoon, the. cpeechmaklng was contin-
ued, Mr. Chapman of Pittsburg speaking
for the operators and Secretary Mc Brydc
and John Cairns for the miners. Then
President McBride of the Miners’ union
asked the operators and spectators to re—
tire from the hall in order that the miners
might hold a conference. This was done,
and a consultation lasting an hour was
held.
At its conclusion President McBride of-
fered a resolution reciting that, whereas a
large number of operators who had refm
ed to attend the conference had refused
the hand of reconciliation and peace which
had been extended to them. the miners be
lieved that any settlement arrived at in
the absence of those Operators would only
add‘to and accentuate the miserable con-
dition of the miners, and that it was Im-
possible to make any settlement with the
operators who had met them here. While
appreciating the efforts of the operators
who had attended the conference to reach
a sett'ement, the miners asked their co
operation in bringing peaceable and per.
aoasive pressure to bear upon the absent
operators to induce them to agree to terms
with the miners.
These resolutions were offered to the
conference as expressing the views of the
miners, and as there seemed to be nothing
more to be done the conference adjourned
