Blew Down a Barn.

Saturday’s storm came up in a hurry and without much warning.  In town people barely had time to close up their doors and windows ere the rain poured down in torrents, but it was most generally thought that it was a storm without tornado accompaniment.  Such was not the case, however, and that unfortunate barn of W. C. BALL’s, north of the city, was completely wrecked.  It was a large frame structure, what is commonly known as a “bank barn,” and was well put together.  When the storm came, Wm. COLLINS, who has leased the farm, was in the basement of the building with his horses, and was soon joined by Messrs. U. RODGERS, CARSON, and L. C. ULM, who ran to it for refuge from the storm, the latter driving alongside but not going in.  COLLINS says the wind first knocked down the shed at the south and then seemed to change its course and work to the northwest, and that there was lively scrambling among the inmates while the work of destruction was going on.  Part of the barn was carried perhaps fifty feet to the northeast, and another part seventy-five feet to the northwest, while close around the ground is covered with broken boards and crushed timbers.  None of the men or the stock in the barn were injured.  Strange, isn’t it.  COLLINS had several tons of hay and a lot of corn stored away, but it is not seriously damaged.  Some time ago Mrs. BALL took out a tornado policy for $700, and the company adjusted the loss Tuesday, and a new barn will be up ere W. C. gets back from the west.  Aside from the destruction of this building there is little else to denote a tornado --- only a tree or two and a few rods of fence blown down a quarter of a mile northwest.  In our tornado of a few years ago this same barn was totally wrecked, and away back in the ‘50s a house which stood but a few rods from the barn site was carried away by a wind storm.  A fateful place, surely, it appears to be.  [Ed. note: One rod is 16½ feet in length.]

Terrible Accident.

This morning about daylight, during a dense fog, two east bound C., B. & Q. freights collided at Glendale station.  At the time one train was standing still on the main track, and the other, running at a rapid speed, came crashing into the caboose of the forward train.  One man, a stock shipper from western Iowa, whose name we could not learn, was killed instantly, and another, a son of the former, was so badly injured that his life is despaired of.  The colliding engine was totally wrecked, as were also four or five freight cars, and a number of cattle were killed.  Both victims of the wreck were taken to Mr. DAMM’s residence where they now lie.  The train men escaped with a few injuries.  The track was soon cleared and trains are now running as usual.

At Batavia.

Decorations Day was becomingly observed at Batavia and the ceremonies largely attended.  The old soldiers organized under Capt. T. A. ROBB and Lieut. W. R. T. BOGGS, and proceeded by the Bladensburg martial band, under the leadership of Elmer LAWSON, marched to the Presbyterian church, where. Rev. S. H. HEDRIX delivered an excellent address.  Rev. B. HOLLAND was chaplain of the day, and an excellent choir, under the leadership of Edwin CLARK and Mrs. Ida CAMPBELL, furnished the vocal music.

A Good Man Gone.

We regret to learn of the death of C. O. STANTON, an old and respected citizen of Pleasant Plain, which occurred in that place Friday evening of last week, after an illness of but a few days, his death resulting from a third stroke of paralysis.  Mr. STANTON was about sixty years of age, and removed to this county from Ohio early in the ‘50s.  He was an ardent anti-slavery man, and for a long time was an energetic worker in the underground railway, and used to exhibit a coat perforated by a bullet from the gun of a slave-holder.  He represented this county in the lower house of the legislature in 1856, and has held the office of justice of the peace and other minor positions in his township.  He was twice married, and leaves several children.  His funeral occurred Saturday evening, and was largely attended.  In the death of Squire STANTON a good citizen and a man of integrity is gone.
