stantially built. In this vicinity barns,
chimneys and the roofs of many residences
were unceremoniously scattered to the
winds. Further east, on Eighth and
Tenth streets, number of
solid brick dwellings felt the force of the
wind, and present a sad appearance.
Some show daylight through, the walls on
both sides having been carried away;
others having lost their roofs, and the
upper stories are almost complete wreck;
still others have lost wall on either side,
and have their floors and contents as before
the storm visited them. Most of these
houses were occupied at the time OF the
frightful visitation, and it is miraculous
that no greater loss of life ensued.
On the eastern limits of the city, engine
house No was taken by the wind In its
route and suffered serious damage.
| This account will afford an idea OF what
the damage by the tornado has been; but
the damage by water is also enormous.
From the time the storm commenced,
about s o'clock, until after 10 o'clock, the
rain poured down necessarily very tor

streams in every quarter
1t is estimated that the loss to streets,
cutters, cellars, and other improvements
carried away by the food of water will
reach nearly. if not fully $4,000,
While the north part OF the city has
suffered the most seriously in all quarters
there has has been more or less damage tC
