THE STORM IN ST. LOUIS Sunday evenil

THE STORM IN ST. LOUIS Sunday evening
is described at length in the papers of that
city. Between and O'Clock Sunday even
ing full moon shed its radience over the city,
and there was hardly breath of wind. A
little after s there was change and the gale
in all its fury soon swept over the city doing
considerable damage. As usual in st. Louis,
notwithstanding it was Sabbath evening, the
theatres were in full blast. At the Varieties,
which was crowded with people, terrible
panic was occasioned by the fall Of neigh
boring chimney, which came crashing down
upon the roof of the theatre with a noise
"louder than the bolts of heaven" A frantic
rush was at once made for the doors, and a
terrible confusion followed. The approaches
to the doors became choked by a confused,
screaming mass of scared humanity, while
those who were fortunate enough to be near
est the doors tumbled down stairs headlong
or any other way they could, anu communi-
Gated the alarm outside. Many leaped from
the windows to the ground, distance Of
seventeen feet, with perfect recklessness oil
limb or lfe Women tainted and were trod-
den under the feet of the excited mass. but
strange to say, no lives are known to have
been lost. At the Olympic theatre religious
exercises were in progress. Here also there
was panic, and the scene at the Varieties
was re-enacted, only to a less extent. Many
persons suffered from contusions, bruises and
broken limbs, but no one was fatally hurt.

He was about thirty years old, and bore a
striking resemblance To a member OF the
