ber, were blown dpwn. Several houses
on Hon. ). H. MoWhorters place were

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

ast, only ops or two were injured.

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

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.
