THE WISCONSIN CYCLONE.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Oct. 11.-Further de-
tails have been received Of the terrific cy-
clone that struck the little town of Arcadia,
Trempeleau county, Monday night, doing
SO much damage to property and injuring
several people there and in the county ad-
joining. None of the injured will die.
The storm struck the town at midnight.
It came from the southwest, and upon its
approach the air was so charged with
electricity that the lights could not be
made to burn and people rushed to their
cellars in the darkness to avoid the danger
which seemed imminent. The entire out
ward atmosphere was of peculiar reddish
green color, with q strong sulphuric odor,
and the deafening roar of the tornado was
utterly indescribsble. Barns and out
buildings were lifted from their founda-
tions, torn to fragments and scattered
promiscuously in all directions.
Broken boards, trees, bricks,
and stones filed the air and were hurled
with such violence in some instances as to
drive them through the sides of the build
lngs. Among the losers are Patrick Man
ming and farmer named Elson, who lost
everything, barn, house and outbuildings.
John Bingham's granary, born and con-
tents, 100 tons of hay, four horses and
blooded stock. John Robertson, house,
barn and outbuildings destroyed, but his
live stock escaped injury. James Gayener
lost an orchard valued at $4,000. State
Senator Comstock's new mill was destroyed
and his barn wrecked. There were many
other damages varying from 500 to
$1,000. Mrs. Bessey and Miss Pipa, who
were most seriously injured by their fall
ing residences, are considered out of dan
ger. The cyclone seems to have spent its
force up the North Creek valley, doing
the usual damage to property, but causing
no loss of life.
