Louisiana and Mississippi Swept by a Destructive Cyclone.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.—A cyclone, accompanied by heavy rain, passed over Central Louisiana and Mississippi about 11 p. m., doing considerable damage, especially in the section traversed by the Illinois Central railroad. It is reported that Newton, Miss., has been wiped off the map, but this lacks confirmation on account of the wires being down. A special just received from Jackson says the cyclone passed between Martinsville and Beauregard, 40 miles south of here. A great many houses were swept from their foundations, trees twisted, fences destroyed, several people killed and a great many seriously hurt.
