DEs MONIES
Dies MONIES, Iowa, June 19.-There are
destruction by the cyclone at Grinnell No
| further deaths are reported to-day, but up
to IL o'clock tonight forty one deaths had
occurred at Grinnell and twenty three at
outside points, seventeen in Malcom and
/ in that vicinity and five in the country
| northw est of Grinnell. The doctors say
that six or seven and even more of the
| wounded at Grinnell would live twenty
four hours, and some of the physicians
put the final death roll at Grinnell alone
at more than fifty, while some fear it will
yet reach as high as seventy-fve of the
wounded in that city there are now sew
enty-two known cases and some eighty of
them more or less serious. In the country
there are also several serious cases of in
fjary. The best posted men at Grinnell
yesterday estimated that the death roll of
| the calamity is not nnduly estimated and
it is indeed very probable that it will reach
4 100. 1t now known to be forty-four.
Among those that were injured six deaths
occurred and last night. Among the rest
the name of Conductor Diegson, of the
Rock Island road 143 is now estimated
as the number of dwelling houses destroy
ed by the tornado in the city of Grinnell.
4 1t is estimated that this entails loss of
half million dollars. Nearly all of this
is total loss, as hardly any of them are
4 insured against tornadoes or anything but
fire. Mr. j. B. GrinneD, of
that city, states that fifty of
the people, in losing their homes, lose all
that they have in this world. Outside of
/ Grinnell, at Malcolm and in the county
there is also an immense loss. Probably
the aggregate will mot foot up less than
three-quarters of million dollars. Some
of the business men of Grinnell think that
i its actual loss win be considerably larger
than that amount than it is less. The fol-
lowing is list of the losses in Grinnell:
4 j. Worcester, total, $1,000; Chas. Hobart,
partial, $4,000; Mrs. A. Scott, partial. 81,
i 600; Rev J.W. Chamberlain, total, So, 600;
College buildings. 100000; Dodge of Bos
ton, total, 81 900; Charles Ridley, total,

Chas. Craver, total, $1,000; A. Larabee,
/ total 81 600; Kimball r. Merrill, partial

Guthrie, total, $1,000; Widow Clement
total. 81 900, Rev. A, o. Everett, partial,
