pletely unroofed in that locality alone. Four
teen houses in one block lost their roofs
The house of Senator Morrill,, VT, was much
dis6gured, having row of bricks wrenched
from its side, and having been apparently
twisted from its foundations by the giant grip
Of the whirlwind. The trees in all the gov
ernment reservations are also very seriously
damaged, especially in the Capitol grounds.
Many Of them were torn from the earth.
Many Of the fine old naples in the Presi-
dents grounds are destroyed. Horses were
thrown to the ground; a street car was lifted
ten feet from it's track, and all without Sec
ond of warning. The loss is estimated at
least one million dollars. The trees in front
of Mr.. Summers house were blown down.
