SUMMARY.
With the facts we have given above for II
basis, the most vivid imaginations might run
riot without reaching n complete idea Of the
damage caused by the terrific tornado. II
can only be enumerated by millions, and even
with their aid we doubt very much whether
the sum total could be told IL is impossible
to detail the loss Of life, but news have
reached us to the effect that seventy-ive per-
sons have been killed or drowned, and the
city is filled with reports involving the lives
of twenty-five more. la ar..li'r "a .H.f
For nine hundred miles along the Ohio
River the tornado ragged with feroeity that
appears to have been terrific, and we doubt
whether, even in the tropics, one has been
known to extend so far, and be the cause OF
so much damage. 'iaa a'.i t''t.A
