New YORK, March ll.-An Atlanta
(Ga.) dispatch says that q tornado struck
that city yesterday morning about IL
o'clock, levsling the Episcopal Church
and iDiuring eighteen members Of the
congregation. When the building was
struck the officiating minister, knowing
that it was merely a question of minutes
to SECURE the safety Of the people, cried
to them to throw themselves under the
seats. This advice the congregation
followed, and not a moment too aeon,
for, with fearful creaks and jars of its
roof and walls, the whole building crum
bled into a shapeless ruin, burying the
congregation under the debris. Several
other churches in Atlanta have been seri.
ously injured, their walls shaken and
roofs partly stripped. Tie city hall has
been entirely unroofed, and the car sheds
of the railroad depot unsettled. Great
damage was done to private residences
and stores.
