or more and causing serious injury to about
one hundred persons, many of whom

describing the onset of the terrible visit
ant says: "The day was ushered in bright
and cool, with fresh wind blowing from
the southwest During the afternoon the
temperature was about so degrees, and
about & o'clock when heavy masses
of clouds, which gathered in the
west, roItended n storm, the air
was oppressively warm The cyclone
was announced by breaking of
the cloud, which took on whiring mo-
ton, and struck the ear h with noise
which might be compared with the roar and
rumbling Of n thousand railroad ta'ns
laundering over bridge. The path of the
storm Is little over half a mile long, and
perhaps quarter of mile wide. In this
territory here and there building is left
standing. All, b ick and frame alike, col
lapsed, and their sites are marked only
by heaps of formless debris Many

seeking the cellars and other places of com
paraive safety, but the cyclone came with
such lightning quickness that many were
killed before reaching the cellars In only a
few cases were houses moved from their
foundations Those in the center of
the storm center simply exploded and
fell in ruins where they had stood
Some nearer the circumference were
turned around, and some light articles,
such as wagons, were swept into the lake
The cyclone as it moved from the city out

seemed monster wreaths OF smoke. as they
whirled over the watery expanse. All

nobly to the calls for assistance, and did
what they could to alleviate the sufferings
of the wounded, who were at once conveyed
to st Luke's and 81 Mary's Hospital The
dead were taken some to the houses of
friends and some TO the Court House
