rung. Full fifteen holses wero de.
stroyed, but foil list could not be

IN GLAssoooK COUNTY
he force of the storm is said to have
'een terrible, and that fully thirtysGve
'ersons were killed, showing that the
worst effects were felt in this county.
We have not } ct obtaioed report of
he casualties at this point. Judging
rom the general course OF the storm
MS was probably the point where it
iverged, and one portion struck
,amak, the station on the Georgia
,ailroad where the Macon and Aus
usta Railroad branches off for
lacon. This appeared TO be

gain and carrying everything before
. This was especially exemplifed
Camak, where the tornado swoop-
| down ,nd literally swept the whole
the village away, not leaving a
ngle house of any kind standing.
As we reported Sunday morning,
e. Thomas Geesling, the Georgia
abroad night watchman, was killed .

lder which he took refuge, turning

legraph operator; Mr.. T. G. Knell- !
, conductor on the M. and A. 4. r.;
r. Edward Skinner and Mr.. Albert 6
nnison, both fremen, all of whom /
ere at Camak at the time and previ-
Isly reported injured, were doing 9
ell yesterday, as we learned. 1t is I
range that in the prostration of all j
Q houses at Camak ten or twelve in G
lmber, that so few were injured. D
his may be accounted for, however, G
|, the fact that the inmates generally .
n out into the open air upon the first Q
emoniton of danger.
THE MOST FORTUNATE ESCAPES,
'wever, were the passenger trains Of
G Ma, on and Augusta Railroad and
Q Georgia Railroad, the latter being
ly twenty minutes behind the storm,
nile the trains Of the former road, "
und up and down, missed it only by :
hour. The train for Macon reach :
Camak with great difficulty, while

eorgia Rail Road was delayed Z
