Terrific Storm and Tornado in st.
Louis.

St, Louis, 80. A severe storm of thunder
and lightning passed over this city at s o'clock
this evening, accompanied by heavy rain.
During the storm terrific tornado from the
southwest struck the large brick market
house on Seventh street and levelled the
northerly half of it in the twinkling of an eye.
The roof and several heavy timbers were
carried across Seventh street and striking
the building opposite, knocked two great
holes in it exposing the rooms. So far as is
now known only five persons were injured,
one Henry Wilde butcher, seriously, per-
haps MORALLY. A woman name unknown,
had her leg badly crushed, and man name
not known had both arms broken. The stalls
in the market were occupied, and large
number of persons were present making pur-
chases, and it is wonderful scores were not
killed. Aside from slight damages done to
one or two building two or three blocks dis
tant no other destruction seems to have &C.
CURED. 1t is likely that the tornado struck
the ground only at this point, rose again and
passed on in a northeast direction, and it may
be heard from some point in Illinois to NOR
row. Seventh street is blocked with debris.
Parts of the market. house roof and awning
were carried two or three blocks.

CATION There are rumors of volcano in
active operation seen from the summit of
Green Hood Mountain, sixty miles south of
Visalia. The rumor is considered at least
dubious. The Indians in that vicinity have
all LETT, fearing recurrence of the general
CONFUSION Of nature which, according to
| tradition, occurred in that region some hun
dred of years ago, and created what is known
as Owens River Valley, but which was before
a chain of mountains.
| Further accounts give number of deaths
by the earthquake, so besides 100 wounded.
At Tibbett's Ranch above Independence forty
acres of ground sunk seven feet below the
surface. Three or four miles from Lone
Pine the earth cracked and one side remained
stationery while the other sunk seven or
eight feet, leaving a wall of earth extending
over three miles in length where formerly
there was level plain. Innumerable cracks
were made throughout the valley. Kerne
and Owens river turned and run up stream
several minutes, leaving their beds dry and
finally returned with largely increased vol
umne. There has been no parallel to this
earthquake since 1912, when the missions of
San Juan, Capistrano and Lapurissima in
Southern California were destroyed. The
earthquake is matter Of common converse
ton throughout California but created no ap-
prehension outside of the district affected.
