The News
fearful tornado visited our city yesterday after
noon. and though lis duration was but half an hour
its effects visible in every quarter to an extent
never before known after storm of such short dura-
.icn. The streets were completely inundated and
for while the fierce wind made sad havoc with all
movable objects starting trees, roofs, chmneys,
signs wagons and objects Of less note, whirlng them
like feathers about the streets. Among the more
serious accidents in the city were the partial des
truction of church in Fiftyfourth street. the
demoishng Of the chimney OF the Methodist Book
Concern, by which the roof of q neighboring house
was broken in. and woman badly injured the
unroofng of dyeing establishment in Eighteenth
street, by which two men were seriously injured,
and horse killed the unroong of the stables of the
Seventh avenue omnibus line, njuring one man, aud
the hostler OF the stable being struck by lightning.
Fortunately, so far as we can learn, there was no
loss Of life in the city, though the injuries Of some Of
the wounded may possibly prove fatal. The damage
70 property, however, is extensive, and indeed more
no than would seem credible from the limited time
in which the storm continued. At Hunters Point,
Long Island, Just above Greenpoint, the tornado
was more disastrous One wing of the large establish
ment OF the American Flint Glassworks was blown
down, killing two Of the employees instantly-the
one an engineer and the other foreman-and
seriously injuring seven others. The total loss OF
property by this disaster Is $1,000 We give else
where a very full detailed account of all these and
other accidents showing the progress Of the tornado
