One of the appalling and destructive ornadoes which
has been experienced in the Mississippi Valley for several
years, occurred about two o'clock in the afternoon

seventy eighty buildings many Of them the finest and

The loss Of life by this awful visitation cannot yet be
asceraned, but is certainly very great, numbers
doubtless buried beneath the ruins Of the fallen buildings
There also great number of persons who seriously
injured, and Of them crippled and manned that
they will never recover from the effects. ar,
The town is literally torn in pieces and looks truly

friends who have been thus untmely swept away. @5

There were about hundred and twenty-five passengers
aboard besides the officers and hands, who numbered
forty more. The passengers nearly all asleep the
time of the explosion. The front behs, however torn

the wreck in flames Fortunately the barge had

greatly increased if the Dsunionists had contested
all the counties, and thus brought out full vote
