Destructive Storm In Union. Union. Special.?Thi3 pjlace was visited Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock by a terrible tornado. The storm came from the north and it seems there was also one from the southwest, meeting in this vicinity. It played havoc, four deaths and considerably loss of property being ! the result. The storm from the north was preceded by a heavy rain and what appeared to be a dark mass about 100 yards wide. It traveled with great speed and people barely had time to get in doors before the storm was upon the town. A wing of the storm passed along Main street and blew several store doors open, doing more or less damage. Knitting Mill Hill, south of the town, caught the full force of the to'.nado, which blew down the school house and two residences, converting them literally into kindling wood. The occupants flew from one of the houses before it went to nieces and took refuge in an other near by. but this house was also crushed to splinters. In this house Misses Sallie Hart and Annie Lawt.cn were instantly killed. Mrs. Maxey Sims died in an hour and her little daughter. Vera, died about 0 o'clock. Maxey Sims escaped with a broken finger. Lee Sims received two bad cuts on the head from falling timbers and was internally injured. Mr. Mabrv sustained a fractured shoulder, his leg was badly burned by a stove falling on him and he was internally injured. His ease may prove fatal. ( Mrs. Lee Sims received a had but not fatal cut on the head. Mrs. Mabry and her two other children escaped with slight injuries. It took some time to get the victims from the debris. physician in town was soon upon the scene, also President Nichols and Manager Gault. of the Excelsior Knitting Mills, and willing hands assisted in relieving the sufferers as much as possible. The news spread rapidly and the hill was soon full of people from town, anxious to render every assistance possible. Everything that the families had was destroyed. Jcntsviilc reports in a telegram to Miss Lawson, the lady who was killed, that the storni was fearful at that point and that one of her family had been killed there. Mis Lawson was dead when the telegram arrived. The property damage will aggregate about $20.000, divided among a number of stores and residences and coton mills. Slatue to Rochambeau. Washington, Special.?Amid enthusiastic demonstrations of a great concourse of people, the superb statue of Count de Rochambeau, who brought the forces of Prance across the sea at the hour of greatest peril in the American Revolution, was unveiled Saturday. Seldom has an event presented so many brilliant features of military pageantiy and at the same time given occasion for the manifestation of the strong bonds of friendship existing between the French republic and the I'nited States. Relea-ed By Friends. Atlanta, Special.?A Constitution special from Jackson. Miss., says: "Oliver Lamar, recently convicted of murder and sentenced to fife imprisonment. was released from jail at Mendenha!!. early Sunday moring by a mob of his friends. Sheriff Magee sent out several posses in pursuit, but Lamar has not yet beoD apprehended. The bars were pried off the | jail fro mthe outside. It is not thought that more than six men were in the gang. Lamar was convicted of the assassination of Win. Sanders, a liveryman. Two men. supposed to have assisted in the escape, were arrested at Mendenhall tonight." Covered With L-'va. London. Bv Cable.?The Morning Post publishes a dispatch from the Island of St. Lucia, dated May 24, which says that ?>t. riere 13 now tornpletely covered with lava and that it will be dangerous to approach the place until the covering hardens. Ash showers and detonations continue, 1 | says the dispatch. Fortde-Fr&nce, according to The Post's correspondent, is safe, but the people are apprehensive lest the lightning flashes shall fire the hundreds of tons of explosives stored in the forts. The inhabitants are fleeing. Two hundred of them ar- I rived here Sunday and 1,700 are in \ the island of Guadaloupe. Most of ; them are destitute. I News of the Day. Miss Roosevelt is said by a writer tn Munsey's to have the distaste for oldfashioned domesticity which is mo:e or less characteristic of the modern girl. Mrs. Roosevelt is an exquisite needlewoman. Her daughter's utmost effort3 in that line are confined to the malting j of little gifts for her friends. Mrs.; Roosevelt is a notable housekeeper, as well as a brilliant hostess. Miss Roose- ! velt, although she cheerfully enough answered any ?all for house duties at the family s uysier nay uume, always preferred a free, outdoor life. She is. however, scrupulous in so; iu! matters, keeping her calling lists pos:- j ed with the exactness of a bank book and answering all invitations with her own hand. She is. moreover, an athletic young woman, with an inherited ; fondness for walking. One million five hundred thousand | Russian children every year receive . their education in elementary schools ! maintained by the orthodox Greek I Church. The sum of 200 rubles, or 1 about $105 a year, is the average i amount devoted to the maintenance of j a school. Ninety-four per cent of the teachers are themselves uneducated, and one-third receive less than $25 a year. The sechool houses are almost I invariably miserable huts, and many of the schools have neither hooks for the pupils to read nor pens and ink with which they can write. Nevertheless, the Russian Government favors the schools maintained by the orthodox Greek Church far more than the more efficient schools maintained by the local authorities. | HOSPITAL SECRETS. ! ft Nurse Says: "Pe-ru-na is a Tonic of Efficiency." | i| ] ' MRS.
