The Town Of Marshaeld, NO., Lev
eled to the Ground
BY a Western Cyclone-1hs Ruins Taks
Flre-Forty Dead Bodies Recovered
Two Hundred Persons Wounded
The Devastation Wrought
al Other Points.

ST. LOUIS, April 1s.-It is reported tha
nearly the whole town Of Marshfeld
Mo-, was blown down by the terrific wind
storm last evening and then burned, re
sulting in frightful loss Of life. The tele.
graph wires are all down and nothing
direct from the scene Of the calamity can
be obtained at present, but the facts will
be got at the earliest moment possible.
LArRR PARTICULARS.
From passengers who passed through
Marshtield on the st. Louis and San Fran.
cisco Railroad at $50 last night, few
facts concerning the terrible disaster are
cleaned: A man who came to the depot at
the edge OF the town, while the train was
there, reported that at $3.50 o'clock a
terrible hurricane struck the place and
levelled all that part Of the town lying
west ofthe centre square fiat to the ground.
The debris Immediately took fire in several
places, and the flames could be seen at
someh half dozen points by the passengers
on the train. Forty dead bodies had been
taken out and many more were
supposed TO be buried In the ruins, or
burned up. There were also many liy-
ing still imprisoned in the debris Of fallen
buildings. All the physicians OF the town
are killed, excepting two, and there was
great need oi doctors 10 attend the wound
ed, OF whom, 1t was said, there were some
two hundred. A relief train Of twenty
physicians and nurses and full supplies
left Springfield, NO., this morning for
Marshfield, and probably other trains
will arrive during the day. The storm
was general in southwestern Missouri,
and other places probably suffered great
damage, but as the telegraph wires are
prostrated, no adyices have been received.
Violent hail and rain accompanied the
wind.
