POPE'S LONG I LIFE IS ENDED The Pontiff's Last Words Were of Benediction on Those Around Him. f CM OREGLIA AUTHORITY The Dean of the Sacred College the Temporary Head of the Church ?Scenes in the Sick Room. < Rome.?Pope Leo XIII. died at four minutes past 4 o'clock Monday afternoon.

Tlie whole city is ?

His cen- \ eral condition remains grave. Pulse, i 04: respiration, 32; temperature, 3G.2 centigrade." t Although the morning's bulletin was t calculated to give the impression that c the Pope's condition was somewhat a ameliorated, in reality the doctors con- u 6idered that the lowering of the pulse lr TOrE LEO'?

It was reported by I persons at the Vatican in the morning that the Pope continued, now and then, to mutter phrases, although unconscious. and that his mind evidently returned to the events which impressed him most before his illness began.

At 11.40 o'clock there was great alarm at the Vatican as the Tope was suffering from a grave increase of cardiac affection. I>r. I.apponi really thought the end had arrived, and Cardinal Seratino Yauutelli, the Grand IVnitentiary. began the prayers for the dying and gave the Poutiff absolution in articulo mortis. 11 is death was considered so imminent that all the Cardinals were present. and the members of the Diplomatic Corps were admitted to the sick room, as, according to tradition. Popes must die surrounded by the Sacred College, the Pontifical Court and the diplomats accredited to the Vatican. Just at that moment a large party of American tourists, unaware of the critical situation of the Pontiff, ascended tiie grand staircase, talking and laugh t . i? ~ ~ ,.*.1 nig.

I contide the Church in these difficult times." Then Mgr. Bisloti, the Master^of the Chamber, asked for the Pope's benediction for the court, which the Pope granted, adding. "Be this my last greeting." liic li-iiifl tn kiss X lU'il luc i S'* V ........ ,w . to the Cardinals present, ivlio were Ores': ia. Rauipolla, Sera lino Vanutelli, Delia Volpe and Vires y Tuto. Dr. Lapponi prolited by the Popo's animation to administer restoratives, after which the patient sank back as suddenly as he had revived. The words the Pope addressed to Cardinal Ore'glia are much commented upon, and some wondered whether the intention of Leo XIIT. was to indicate Cardinal Oreglia as his successor. The first notifications from Cardinal Oreglia of the Pope's demise were sent to the Cardinal Dean, representing the College of Cardinals, and the Cardinal Vicar, representing the Bishopric of Rome. Immediately after the accredited representatives of the foreign powers to the Vatican were informed. Monsignor Nocella, the Secretary of the Sacred College, communicated with those Cardinals who were absent from Rome, and requested them to attend immediately at the forthcoming conclave. Orders were sent to an tae cnurcues md religious communities In Rome, directing the clergy to hold special services and to celebrate requiem masses. Those present in the Pope's chamber it the time of his death were Cardinal Serafino Vanutelli. Sacristan Piffini, Count Camille Pecci, the Pope's uepiiew; Dr. Lapponi aud the Pontiff's valet, Pio Centra. The occurrences in the death chamber immediately following the Pope's lemise were of impressive solemnity. Couriers had boon dispatched to sumnon those delegated to perform the irst religious offices for the dead Pope, ind soon the chanting of the Francis au monks was heard, as. two by two, n coarse brown habits and with sanialed feet, they proceeded to the room n which Leo lay dead. From time imuoniorial the Franciscans have been Penitentiaries of 8t. Peter's. Followng them came the Noble Guards, to vateh over the Pontiff's remains, the >rilliaucy of their uniform contrasting strikingly with the sombre attire of he monks and the solemn dignity of he chamber itself. The only sound j leard was the measured cuauuu^ ui he Tsalnis of Penitence by a proup of nonks kneeling beside the couch of loath. Two Noble Guards took up portions at the foot of the couch and itood there, rigid and silent as statues, with swords drawn and reversed. pointUK to the floor. The death chamber preserved much he same appearance as it did during he illness of'the Tope. It is situated >n the third floor of the Vatican, the partmeuts fronting the splendid piazza if St. Peter's and the window of the oom commanding a view of the tall E VATICAN* APARTMENTS. obelisk and playing fountains, with Home stretching off beyond the Tiber.

Tornado Demolished Houses and Factories in the Twinkling of an Eye Without Warning?Many Miraculous Escapes From Death. Taterson, N. J.?A dense black cloud, assuming the shape of a cone, and whirling with furious rapidity, loomed up over the top of Garrett Mountain, just southeast of Paterson. at 3 o'clock p. m. In less than ten minutes it swept over that section of the city known as South Paterson, killing four persons, seriously injuring fifteen, ancl hurting more than a hundred, and wrecking six buildings and damaging more than 200 others. Then it passed over the Passaic River, across the meadows, and disappeared in the air. The tornado was directly preceded by a literal cataract of rain. Close to llio depot of the Lackawanna Railroad it firsf struck the earth. It swept up Main street and passed through a big brick house at No. G8o. tearing it to pieces. Here occurred the first death. Joseph Van Dorn, a plumber, was at work inside. He was crushed lifeless, [ 'our companions were also buried in this wreck, but were dug out fearfully mangled and taken to St. Joseph's Hospital. It was this hospital which the tornado next attacked. It stood right in i the path of the blast, and its solid construction only saved it from destruction. Its windows, awnings and tra^ne if-./ ?..~ *1. porticos were w uirieu up miu mc maj sky, nearly every pane of glass was smashed, and about forty big shade trees in the grounds were torn out by their roots and deposited in the nearby road. Stern & Pohly's silk mill in Front street caught one edge of the tornado and escaped with the loss of a big section of its room. The structure was crowded with operatives, however, and the doors were locked to prevent them from rushing out to certain death among the flying debris. The Passaic Rolling Mills nest received the full fury of the blast. The roof was torn off and sections of the wall fell in. Over a dozen workmen were injured there. John Saunders and John Connolly sustained such severe injuries that they were carried to St. Joseph's Hospital. In the Sandy Hill section the tornado transformed a score of pretty frame cottages into heaps of kindling wood. The inmates were compelled to take their chances in the open air. Charles P. Lowerie, a blacksmith, rushed out of his shop just as it fell at his heels. At Chestnut and Clay streets the wind tore to pieces a big laundry building and the huge timbers began to descend upon the house at 73 Chestnut street almost opposite. One of the frightened inmates, an eight-year-old boy named Charles Hancock, ran out. As, he did so a itinber weighing 200 pounds came down upon him like a cannon ball, completely severing his head from his body. Not a tree or telegraph pole was left standing in the track of the storm. The General Hospital buildings were next visited. They sustained damages similar to those of St. Joseph's. For a moment the blast swirled in its course and struck a corner of the magnificent residence of the late Attorney-General. John W. Griggs. It was severely damaged. Mary Nevins, seventy years old. was (ho third victim of the tornado. Her liome in Straight street was on the edge )f the wind current. She was so frightened, however, by the roar and darkness, that she fell dead on her doorstep from heart disease. In all about fifty buildings were wrecked. The storm tied up local traffic of all kinds. Trolley wires were blown down everywhere. Mod. women and children ran frantically about tlio streets, bleeding from wounds inflicted by the flying debris. Every doctor in town l-nd his hands full, and the hospitals were besieged when the storm abated. To add to the horrors of the storm, fires broke out in several sections of the city, caused by falling buildings. The heavy rainfall materially aided the firemen, however, in extinguishing the flames. About 4 o'clo:lc the sky cleared again and rescue parties were made up to render all ihe necessary help to sufferers. At first it was reported that several hundred people had been killed. A view of the havoc wrought by the storm makes it seem miraculous that the death list is so small. At midnight the police had secured a pocord of 125 persons who had beon treated at the different hospitals. One case was recalled at t' c General Hospital, where a silver of wood had l>een driven three inches into the hip of an unknown man. The damage was greatlv increased by a heavy rainstorm, which began about 10 o'clock p. ni., and continued for two hours. The delu.ee seriously hampered the work of the rescuing party.

Shortly before noon a black cloud, which looked like rain, suddenly opened, and lot down on the city a shower of hail, which, for the size of the particles and the damage they did, has never been equalled, flic hail did not fall in balls as usual, but in huge, jagged chunks, the sharp edges of which cut men and horses, and which broke through plate glass wiudows as tlimirWi thpv li.-iH hp*>n r>:ir>pr_ The storm did 110c extend beyond Thirty-first street on the South Side, but up north it went beyond Lincoln Park. Trees were stripped of their foliage. and some of the twigs were cut off as though with knives. At least $5000 worth of damage was done iu Humboldt Park and still more iu Lincoln Park. Down-town plate glass windows, skylights and lamp posts were damaged and the conservatories in two parks were ruined. The great, sharp bits of ice cut horses and caused many runaways. in which the drivers r.nd others were injured. In the midst of the Btonn a span of the Milwaukee avenue viaduct collapsed, letting a wagon and several people fall, with the debris, upon the freight ears below. At one point on the roof of the Marquette Building during the storm there was a light fall of snow. Over 500 trees were felled by the storm in various parts of the city. Down-town horses became panic stricken and ran a^.vuy. uraggiiig wajjuus juiu cuuimuu, running over pedestrians, and shrieking with terror at the sudden darkness and the pain inflicted by the shower of ice. The windows of four school buildings were destroyed and in some apartment houses there is barely a whole pane left. j At Washington and Fifth avenue a runaway horse crashed through a plate glass window of the Teutonia Building. terribly cutting itself. The Academy of Sciences in North Clark street will need $500 worth of new glass. The j Zoo in Lincoln Park wag rendered frantic by tne hail. The animals which | were exposed screamed with terror, 1 and the lions and other caged beasts ' roared iu sympathy. Half an hour later there was not a morsel of the hail 1 left to show there had been a storm. Of the persons injured in the strange j storm hardly any two came by their hurts in the same way. Jonathan Smith, on a wagon at the 1 Milwaukee avenue bridge, was knocked unconscious when the bridge collapsed. J. G. Terry, engineer of a freight train, the cab of whose engine was crushed in by falling timber, was scalded and may die. Elmer Lucas, the conductor of the freight train, was thrown off the train and bruised and cut.
