CIuvAoo,' August 11.-A special to the Chicago Tdmea, from Forest, Ill., says: "Last night an excursion train on the Toledo, Peoria and Western railrord went down with a burning trestle, tbout, three miles east of Chattsworth, and over 100 excursionists killed and 406V or more ha ! v Injured. The train consisted of six sleep eri, six day coaches 'fuI chi' (ai's, and lad on board 9t) ex - ionists Iorundl for Niat ara Falls. '1' passent;ers hailed from vu rlous Point a central Illinois, the nuajorilty, howeve coming from Peoria. The tratin wits tavy that, two engines were em pl ed, and was an hour and a halt' behind me when it. passed this place. . Chattsworth, the next station east of here, is six miles oil, and the run there was made in seven nitsutes. - Three miles from Uhmtlsworth is a little slough, and where the railroad crosses a dry run about ten feet deep and giten feet wide. Over tlis wias stretched an ordinary railroad trestle, and as lie train camec thu dering down on it, wliatI wis the li.trer of the engineer on the fnmt enuginie wlieu he discovered the bridge was bourniig!

A few ears ago an export employed by the United States Signal Service do- 1 clared that there was no conceivable rea son why a tornado should spare a large city. lie even went so far as to say that 1 it was possiblo that a funnel-shaped l cloud would ono day strike Now York, i wrecking the city and twisting the groat Brooklyn bridge into a corkscrew. The 1 Chicago Intor-Ocean taikes a different view--starting out with the assumption that the immunity enjoyed by large cities in the past is solid ground for the belief that there is no danger to bo apprehend- c ed. I t is, nevertheless, admitted that a wlirlin' ae:ial shaft having a diameter of 2,0(00 feet, and moving at the rato of 80) miles an hour would crush the most I substantial buildigs like so many egg shlls. '1'w lnter-Ocean says: '"th' reason is very plain, and may be easily understood, even by pcoplle un versvd in scientific lore. The tornado at the out-ct is a simple, whirling shaft of air, caused, as we believe, by the wind currents from nearly opposite directions, of uncalual temperature and different degrees of humidity. When it is fairly started on its course it generates im ntmnsC qluantities of electric fluid. In act it becomes a swiftly moving dynamo, geierating E nough electricity to make it luminous, and leaving evidence of the burning Iluid in its pathway. It is the theory of sonic who have written on the suabject that the tornado is primarily cMsed by electric action, but this we think is an error. The mistake is in placing the efl'eet for the cause. But it is certain that after its ineption electri city is generated, and that the subtle Iitid becomes one of the most important facturs of its destructive force. '' 'assing over the country, the tornado follows the general trend of the larger eyclonic storm, or area of low pressure. .1t. olays the natural law of all bodies in motion, moving in the direction of the least resistianc'e. A mountain, or other considerable elevation of land, Will break it ip or turn it aside. A city like Chi cage presents an obstacle suhlicient to re"ll the electrified meteorite and turn it to right or left. The city bristles with rods and spires, and is covered by a net ting of electric wires. These, together w it:b iha vast aggregation of metalicstruc tares, <Iisarm thunder clouds of their destructive force, and at the same time eviIAently tend to repel the more highly elte riliet tornado. It is well known that deatli or damage by lightning is of very rare occurrence in the centre of any eonsilerable city. The bolts may strike in the suburbs, but if they descend in the city they are arrested by much more si i n uess and certainty than a depredator is caught by 'the best.' h 'wever consoling all this may be to I I dtvcllers in large cities, and however ,trong the temnptation to swallow the tl' ry whole, there still remains a very inter"stiug <puestion--hou large must a citl ba' to turn"u aside a well-devoloped tot adt <hm' thing, at least, seems to be estab lihed. .Iin the smaller towns it has been foun that buildings constructed of solid nasiry and good brick, put together in a wrkmanlike manner, resisted the fote' of th) im :nost violent storms. Good hitdings, therefore, allord some protec t ion. lie fact that no structure will re a couiiinn of air whirling along at the m,de of ht)u miles an hour should not dlter puepic from building their houses in a proper manner. A tornado that will destroy a well-built house is n1o more aneug the probabilities in this latitude than is a destructivo _ earthquake. Th ltcotton Mioyeienijt.

Kate Louise Terry by her late ims and, Ivan Petro Terry, who died i .aris, where the lucky widow is stil lying. The $7,000,0o will probabl >e out down- a good deal, but if the for une reaches half that sum Mrs. 'lerr s an extraordinarily fortunate woman )f the lady the Hartford 'T'imcs says: Her life up. to the present time, if at urately deptoted in a novel, woul nake interesting reading. Kato Louis orman (her maiten name) cam tither from England in childhood wit ier father, who settled in Brooklyt ud eventually became a judge there lto is now about 32 years of age, han< omo, of good figure, and a style tha as a good deal of dash in it. it o her good looks and her style that sh )wod her court-room marriage to Iva L'. Terry. Before that she had been th wife of the notorious bank burglai harloy Bullard, who is now said to b terving a long term of imprisonment h Belgium. The marriage to Bullard too place in England, whore she was visi mn g, when she was about 16 years ol< Bullard then wont by the name < Charlos Vells. lie was a smart fellow with a fino address and plenty of spent ing money, and the girl he m:arrie know nothing about his real characte lie took her to Paris, where he opene a sort of American bar-room on showy scale, and installed his prett young wife as cashier. She naturall attracted a good deal of notice, attl th venture prospered for a while. Bullar gave it up, however, and brought hi wife to New York. It was thicn sit found out who and what he wa Another wife soon turned up, and th couplo separated, never to meet agrait The second wife took he; two child e and went oil' on her own :ccoutnt. lo she lived till she met Terry does tic appear to be known. lie was the so of a millionaire sugar-planter in (Cub: and had made some moncy hitusel They were married without any loss time, l)ut the subsequent proceedin; were not entirely harmuor;ous. A nun ber of little unpleasantnesses occurre. and led up finally to a police-court set sation. Mrs. Terry wa.s of i decided jealous turn, and once on going throut her husband's pockets, after' thie manmitti of wideawako wives, she found a gUsi ing letter from a young woman explair ing why a certain appointment was i kept. It is needless to say that the Ic tor did not improve Mrs. Terrv' stat of mind. After thinking a while si set a trap for the young womtan, an caught her in it. 'lhot she called o her at her home to give her a talkie to, and got turned out for her pain ''hat warmed her up still more, and ht next step was to make a charge again the young woman of appropriating cc tain jnoney that sho said site inissec Then came the police-court sensatiot in which the two women playecd pro inont parts, and which the reporte had a fine tine writing up. After groat deal of wrangling the charg'e w dismissed, and the secotnd woman, Miss Atwood, soon after reta :liated 1 suing Mrs. Terry for slander.
