FRIDAYS STORM.
ADDITIONAL REPORTS OF WIDESPREAD RUIN
AND DISASTER


ST.. LOUIS, July 16.-Additional news of
last kfidsy's storm continue to come in, and
sh0w that IL was the most extensive, and, in
some localities, the most desruciiye TO proUy
eriy OF the seasor. AT Joplin and Webb
City, in the leadsminiDg reg ion 10 South ses
Missouri, an immenss amount of rain fell,
which flooded the mines to such an extent
that it will take month or two to put them
in working order. 10 the meantime several
thousand miners are out OF work. In add
tion TO this, wind and hail did great damage
to buildings and crops at Macon and Louisi-
ana, No. In the northwestern part of the
State the wind played havoc wi h both busi-
ness aud residence property OF towns and did
heavy injury TO crops. Burlington Junction,
previously referred 10, is described as a pile
of ruius, nearly all the houses in the town
being destroyed OF badly iojured. Hail
stones as large as a mans fist fell in
great quantity, stripping corn and other
crops 10 the ground and cutting
down grass as with a seythe. J. number Of
people were injured, but none killed. A.
Aaryyille the damage is now put at $780,
900. The loas Of crops is not estim attd, but
may be imsgined, wnen it is said that a strip
of country five 10 six miles wide right
through the county is totally devastated.
At White Hall, H., great injury was
wrought, one 60 icern alone, losing $4,000.
Luckily this firm was insured Against cy-
clones. Other losses, including farm prop-
erty, are estimated at $4,000. Wherever
this storm rssed, and it seems to have COW
cred an immense area OF country, extending
over large part of four States, it worked
very great injury, wrecking buildings of all
kinds and literally sweeping the crops out OF
existence all along its path. No accurate
idea OF the loss can be given, bnt it must be
many hunirsds OF thousands of dollars
