SHERMAN, Tex., May 18.—Today the waters in the creeks and brooks have sub- aided, and thousands of spectators have traversed the path of the tornado. Every business house in the city. except the drug stores and eating houses, suspended business at the request of the president of the city council, and the attention of every- body has been turned toward caring for the wounded and the dead, the number of which latter is hourly increasing. The street grading force, supplemented by a large number of men, have been transfer- red by Street Commissioner Mooreth to the cemeteries and have been busily en- gaged in preparing graves for the victims of the storm. The undertaking establish- ments are being taxed to their limits. A word picture cannot approximately portray the terrible aspect of the pathway torn through the city. Great oak trees and stately elms a quarter of a century growth are torn up by the roots or were twisted off like reeds. The remnants of beautiful homes are scattered and blown in all directions. Everywhere the com- mons are covered with debris. Hundreds of domestic animals are lying dead, and innumerable fowls are scattered about, in many cases picked perfectly clean, and in every instance timbers are thrown about promiscuously, and more Often against the course of the storm than with it. The widest point in the pathway of the tornado in this city is just south of where it crosses Lamar street, and here it was perhaps 200 yards. At other points it rarely or ever exceeded 150 yards and of~ ten narrowed to 'not over 100 yards. The following appeal has been issued: The loss of life and property by the cy- clcno is much greater than was supposed, and the number injured is much larger, the dead and wounded exceeding 200. The loss of property is over $250,000. Sherman is taking good care of the wound- ed, but many families have lost their all and are left destitute. All contributions will be thankfully received. as they will help us to give aid to those who will have to begin life anew. C. H. SMITH, Chairman Relief Committee.

The wheels were blown from one axle, and it was stripped bare. . The wind carried it a short distance and drove it completely through a cedar telephone pole 6 or 8 inches in diameter and left the ends protruding. At each end the axle was bent and resembled a perfect letter S. :At Denton five were killed and 20 wounded. Three dead bodies were found in the storm’s path at Justin, a mother and three children lost theirlives at Howe, and the corpse of J. S. Morris was found at Gainesvilie. The storm swept the Chick- asaw nation, leaving many wounded, one mortally. At Carpenters Blufl‘Lfive per- sons were seriously hurt. Thefivounded are so badly scattered that it is an almost impossible task to gather their names and the extent of their injuries. The citizens held a meeting at the court- house, and about $2,000 was raised in a little while with which to bury the dead and care for the wounded. About 50 bed- ies have been buried. BOTH SHOCK WITH FEAR. A Jail Delivery In \Vhich Jackson and Walling Refused to Participate. NEWPORT, Ky., May 18.—Seven prison- ers escaped from jail here last night. They were companions of Scott Jackson, con- victed of the murder of Pearl Bryan, with the death penalty attached, and his com- panion, Alonzo Walling, who is to be tried in ten days for the same murder. Some prisoner sawed Off the hinges of the back door of the jail and let the seven men out. Jackson and Walling could have gone with them, but preferred the jail as safer than the open country, where they knew they would be lynched as soon as caught on accouut of the intense feeling against them. . , News of the jail delivery spread like the sound of an explosion. In less than half an hour 5,000 surrounded the jail. A strong cordon of police, aided by deputy sheriffs, held them back. As soon as the ‘ crowd became convinced that the convict— ed murderer, Jackson, and his companion, Walling, were still in jail it dispersed. Walling and Jackson broke down and shook With fear. Jackson said: “They wanted me to go, but Iwould not. I feared the first man I met outside would send a bullet through me, and I thought the jail the safest place. ” Walling said, “I did not know the plan till the prisoners Were escaping, and I de- cided no place was as safe as the jail. ” Betty Green In Trouble. NEW YORK, May 18.—It is claimed by Mrs. Betty Green that valuable papers left by her father, Edward Mott Robin- son, and seriously aflecting the settlement of his estate, have been stolen from the office of the estate, 75 Cedar street.

' ‘ I l \ "T a a EVE \IN ‘ BERLIN “I‘ll Linn HIS FLING AT THE GLIIRGY.’ He Tells Them‘That They Must Not Med- dle In Politics and Thereby Raises I Storm All Over the Empire. A Snub 'From Bavaria. BERLIN, May 18.—The German clergy, Protestant and Catholic, are thoroughly aroused in consequence of Emperor Wil- liams telegram to Gehemrath Hinzpter regarding Dr. Stoecker, the ex-court chap- lain and Christian-socialist. leader, which was published with his 'majesty’s consent. This message was almost brutally brusque and read: “The clergy must not meddle with pol- itics, because it is no concern of theirs.” This angered the clergyman, and the whole clerical. press has been expressing its indignation. Dr. Stoecker has made an outspoken reply in his organ, The Evangelical Church Gazette, in which he says that the emperor, when still Prince William, himself charaflterized the Chris- tianrsocial activity of the clergy as a means of vanquishing socialism. Dr. Stcecker added: “Since Christian-social thought was tabooed in Berlin socialism reigns politi- cally there. As I have begun, so shall I continue. I leave the end to God.” Two of the leading clerical organs, The Reichsbote and The Vol}, severely con- demn and deplore the publication of the telegram, classing it as “inconsiderate,” and pointing out that clergyman, by the constitution, are granted the same rights as other citizens. The Roman Catholic organs. Germania and the Cologne Volks Zeitung, publish articles written in a sim< ilar tone. The socialistic essdenounces the telegram as being im 'erial interfer- ence with constitutional rights, and in various parts of Germany clerical synods have taken pains to express confidence in . Dr. Stoccker and his methods and severe- ly criticise his majesty’s telegram. A Snub From'Bavaria. Early in the week the peace jubilee was celebrated throughout Germany. Besides the fates at Frankfort there Were elabo- rate fetes of a semimilitary character at Dresden, Darmstadt and Hanover and a * vast festival in this city, organized by the veterans of the wars, of whom 7,000 marched in procession. I}; . _ The jubilee was kept generally in Ba- varia, especially at Munich, Nuremberg and Augsberg. Twenty thousand school< children paraded at Munich and were re- viewed by Prince ‘Regcat Luitpoid, but it was remarked that t o ietes in Bavaria were strictly of a Baruifan character, on- ly Bavarian flags being displayed. N ei- ther the emperor nor Prince Bismarck was re ferred to in the orations, and no refer- ence to Germany ‘or the German army was permitted, the _official censorship ex- cising everything from the submitted speeches referring to the nation generally. Several of the persons arrested at Frank- fort on i. 0 charge of iese majeste made in- crimina. .ag remarks in close proximity to and. evu. within hearing of the emperor during .59 unveiling there on Sunday last of t. a monument erected to the mem- ory of 13.2.. peror William I. In connection with the bill to reorgan- ize the Fourth battalion of infantry regi- ments. the Conservative and military par- ties have begun an agitation for the abo- lition of the biennial military service and for a revival of the triennial. The Kreuz Zeitung, the military week- ly, is leading the agitation in the press. Accoording to the present law, the bien- nial service is only an experiment and ends April 1, 1899, unless specifically per- manized by a new law. Against American Meat. 4As a countercheck tothis movement the Radicals in the reichstag have resolved to add a paragraph to the Fourth. battalion bill making permanent the biennial serv- ice. An interesting and sensational de- bate will be the consequence, as the Gen- trists mainly side with the Radicals in ‘he agitation fora larger navy has been renewed. Lectures are being delivered in different parts of the country, under the auspices 'of the Alledeutsche Verband, to promote the movement. The re'ection by the diet of the assessor paragrap , by which the Prussian govdrn- ment sought to exclude all Liberal ele- ments from the judgeships, will induce the government to withdraw the whole of the court reform law, they declining to accept the bill in its pres'ent Liberal shape. Dr. Below, the expert in hygiene, has resumed his agitation against the con- sumption of American meat.‘ He says that the American meat inspection is a sham intended to hoodwink Europe and quotes a letter from Phil Armour saying that meat inspection in' America would be needless and vexatious. Dr. Below also criticises the eflorts of the American consuls to popularize Amer- ican meats as being insincere and mis- leading. The son Of Dr. von Boetticher, the minister of the interior. with a companion and an official hontsman, went fishing on Thursday last in Witwinn lake, near Rheinsberg. Their boat was capsized, and all three were drowned. Their bodies have not been recovered. Big Dock Strike. Romnnan May 18.—Six thousand dock laborers [in this city have gone on strike because of a reduction in their Wages, and four battalions of the nation- ' al guard have been called out as'precau- tion against riotous demonstrations. Three gunboats are also lying Opposite the city in readiness for action should their serv- ices be required to protect the shipping. The seamen on board the British vessels lying at this port resolved not to comply with the demand that they perform the work of the strikers in loading and dis- charging cargo, and the consequence is. that 50 steamers are detained here.
