road, is down and the doors of his main barn
have been blown in. The sheet-iron roof Of
Estey & Co.'S boiler house was started of

it. The shops feel the force of the wind per.
ceptibly and some OF the men have been
made sick by the rocking and compelled TO
quit work. Several chimneys about town
have been blown down. In Main street ons
of Walker Howe's front windows has been
blown in and the ornamental % front on the
roof of Ryther's arcade has been torn off and
