Destructive Tornado Impacts Essex County Area

A destructive tornado struck near Elmville Farm North Andover around six o clock Monday afternoon. It tore through 600 to 700 acres, unroofing houses, uprooting trees, and demolishing buildings within minutes. Seven or more structures were damaged. A cow lost a horn, a man escaped by landing in an apple tree, and a shoemaker’s shop was moved several rods before destruction. Thousands visited the scene the next day amid rain and hail.

Obsequies of Commodore Adbdet conducted with solemn rites

Obsequies for Commodore Jat Agere were held Monday afternoon with Warren Artillery in attendance and Gilmore's Cornet Band playing. Stores closed and flags flown at half mast as the community mourned the late officer. Separately, Bradley S. Osburn of Wells Fargo & Co in New York was arrested in Philadelphia with stolen gold and bank notes, awaiting trial in New York. Reports include a seduction and grand larceny case against Sanford S. Partridge of Seneca Falls, New York, and a severe hail storm in Manchester New Hampshire. A new seven pile lighthouse was set at the Narrows in Boston harbor with a sixth-order lens to be added after August.
