Several houses on Hon. ). H. MoWhorters place were destroyed. Charlie Bryant's dwelling was blown down: A portion of Thomas Epps' :hous? was destroyed. Several houses on H. T. Bushels place were blown down. Mr. John Porters house -wise' flcstroyed. W. H. Porter's gin-house and several other' houses on his place were completely demolished. Mr. Jas. Arthur's house was destroyed, and the wind blow hia wile fifty yards, but did not seriously injure her. Several little children were in the house, and, strange to relate, net-one of them was hurt Mr. Jas- Hurt's aVrsUing. was badly damaged, *nd ?veryibuilding except his dwelling, swpaztof isnsngin-house and ons negro house was completely demolished; also, all the nouses on Mr. John Hurt's place. Che telegraphio report, sent early Sa? to rdsy afternoon, was greatly exagge as far as the damage, to BuUedge moerned, Instead of s/very house . y illag o falling befor a the fury of ast, only ops or two were injured. . Is South of Covington, the tornado struck the plantation of Mr. John Nor leveled the dwelling, every out 'and all tho fences on the place. , his wife and child were in The two latter wore seri ' by the'tailing timbers, i was also painfully wounded. ie struck Dr. Montgomery's fo violence, tore off tho roof and literally sucked but the South side of the building, Carrying with it the doStor arid his family; The latter, five or six "in < number, Were blown several yards/- toddled together , and finally brought -up against -the roots of a tree which had heen Overturned by the gale. To this they clung until the storm was Messt? pelted by the terrific shower of hsil and rain which socompanied the irsnfli Tin report that one of Dr. Mont ?sty*a children was blown away by tkma was incorrect. It then struck the residence d* Mr. John Steap, picked ied it twenty-five feet, 4- iMr,.t" heTeU-no "?wn on the earth -' - house was 1 i .'! "Let our Jut Cenic mm_tmmsak GC Mr. Hill Davis' house was torn to pieces, his vrife's jaw bond broken and his little girl Lilian badly injured. Mr. Davis himself was seriously hurt. Every building was torn down, and the bark was literally torn off the fruit trees in I the orchard. It is supposed that this was done by the pelting of rooks against i the trees, as the field across which the storm swept wan filled with pebbles. These were hurled down in a perfect shower upon the houses and timber.' It then crossed the creek into Mrs. Thomas Stellinge place, which ? it devastated in a terrible manner. Mr. James Burton's farm was the next in the route of the de? stroying elements. This gentleman's residence and out-buildings, with nearly all the timber, were destroyed. A re? markable fact was noticed at Mrs. Stell ing's. The top soil, trash and rails in and around a large cotton field were blown up a steep hill, which actually looked afterwards as if a mighty flood had swept up its side. The drift was piled against the sides of large logs ex? actly as it would have been by a torrent of water. Mrs. Stellings chimneys were snapped off and fell upon the roof of her dwelling, crushing through. The gardens wcro destroyed and out-build? ings also. Mr. Growley's house and fencing were demolished. Buildings, fences and trees were leveled at Shonry's place. At Butledge the Masonic Hall, in the Eastern part of the town, was completely torn down. Near Covington, the tornado soems to have divided into three?one, moving from the South-west, traveled a little North to East, and was that whioh passed near and over Butledge. This was about half a mile wide Another of the three went due North. This passed over Maxey's, a Btation on the Athens branch of the Georgia Railroad, blew down a number' of buildings and killed a young mafi named Maxey and a negro. A party of young men out fishing at the time had I their wagon blown away and the horse killed. Up to the time when our infor? mant heard from that section, all the fishing party had not been found, and it was supposed that several of them wore killed. The tornado crossed the Oconee River at Mill Shoal's Factory. All the buildings except the factory were blown down. The third fork of the tornado traveled in a Southerly direction, and is "said to have caused great destruction in Jasper County. A letter from Bairdstown, Ga., says: It is impossible to estimate the damage done by the cyclone?completely de? molishing houses and destroying.farms. Several persons killed and many wounded. The storm created considerable da? mage iu some portions of Barn well County, 8. C. A farmer from that sec? tion was in the city yesterday for the purpose of purchasing horses and mules, all of his, five in number, having been killed by the storm, whioh blow a stable down on them. [Awjusta Chronicle <? .Sentinel. A Yottso Mabtyb.?The death of Miss .Fitzgerald, of Patorson, N. J., by kero I sens burning, heretofore announced, was a case of martyrdom. In getting out of I bed to procure relief for a tooth-ache, she upset the lamp and set fire to the bed. Her first thought was not of her? self, but of some children who were Bleeping in the same room with her, and she carried them out, and ran into the street, all burning and naked as she was, the blinding snow affording a grateful sense of reliof. Her cries aroused the other inmates of the house, among them Dr. CahUl and his brother.WiUiam, who ran to her rescue and carried' her into the house, young Cab ill getting his hands severely burned in so doing. Meanwhile, the unfortunate girl was suf? fering untold agony from her burns. Her whole body, from her neck down, was burned?her sides to a crisp, and her foet and limbs so that the skin peeled off and fell down in strips. But she bore her sufferings like a martyr, and when Dr. Cahill applied oil and lime water to. ease her pain, she said, gratefully: "That feels good; I shall never forget you, doc? tor." It was evident that her injuries were fatal, and that all that was possible to be done for her was to ease her pain. She lingered till about 1.30 o'clock, when she died. Election News.?Reliable information was received hist night to the effect that the Democrats elected eleven out of se? venteen Aldermen in the city of Raleigh, Monday. The Aldermen elect the Mayor, thus giving that office to the Democrats. This is the first time the city has gono Democratic since the war. Telegrams from Salisbury, Hillsboro, Durham's, Henderson and Warrenton indicate that the Democrats havo swept everything. Charlotte is in a state of excitement over the result of the municipal election. Col. Wm. Johnston has been elected over W. F. Davidson, by 59 voteB. Yocthtul Mubdebess. ? A murder was committed Saturday morning, in tho North-western portion of Fairfield. A colored girl, aged twelve years, who had for some time past been compelled to nurse the infant child of her sister, took the infant, carried it to MoLure's oreek, divested it of clothing, threw it into a hole and drowned it Search was insti? tuted for the lost infant, and upon the assortion of one of tho by-stenders that he could put breath into the infant, the girl confessed her crime and showed the place where.it had been committed.
