waukes street was lifted in the air
and cane down ths under side up
presenting q strange appearance. Sidewalks
in the track of the cyclone were 6rawn into
the air, trees torn up by the roots, and out
houses. etc, were no more than feathers
waited by breeze. The path CT the meteor
ological monster is q literal scene of ruin.
The clapboards of houses appear TO have
been ground into splinters. Fourteen per-
sons were in Petura's saloon, on Douglass
avenue and though the twe-story brick build
ing in. which it was located was reduced to
mere pile of bricks and mortar, no one waa
seriously injured. The scene among the
dead, wounded and dying in the northern
part of the city is ore painful beyond desclip-
tion. In mary instances surviving relatives
had lost all semblance of reason. Physicians
were not numerous enough TO give prompt
assistance, and numerous bleeding victims
were rolled up in blsnkets. while anxious rel

extent Of country t.aversed by the storm can
not be even guessed at here. but it ia believed
to have struck this county first.
