EVANSVILLE, IND, Aug. 2J.-At nine
o'clock this morning the most disas'
tr0us hurricane ever here broke on
Evansville, doing damages to an extent
of not less than Il quarter of u million
dollars. In this civy and vicinity houses
were blown down, roofs carried away,
three or four steamboats, badly Injured,
thousands OF shade trees torn up and
other injury done. 1t is impossible To give
the amount of damage done, but it will
probably fall short OF the above figures.
Probably the heaviest individual loser
is John ii. Rocker, whose new foundry
was almost wholly demolished. The
steamers j. V ThrOop and Silver Horn
are badly damaged. The former is al
most wrecked. Several churches SUI
tered severely; also one new school
house.
The reports that the transfer steamer
Belmont, was sunk this forenoon by the
hurricane, near the Henderson tow
head, and twenty lives lost,is no gener-
ally credited amongst river men. Tho
hoat is probably damaged and ashore.
The river is toe low to he dangerous,
although the storm was terrible. Moth
ing but umor yet.
The loss of the transfer steamer Bel
mont, and the drowning of ten or fifteen
PERSONS, is confirmed. a hurricane this
forenoon capsized tho boat at Stanley
Landing, three miles above Henderson,
turning her completely over, going to
Henderson with Il barge and train on
tanning the passengers OF the Louisville
" Nashville railway. The boat separa-
ted from the barge. All on the
latter were saved and all Oh the boat eX-
cept four or five were lost. Amongst
those lost is:
Captain John Smith.
T.. c. Roach and son. Appointment mer-
chant OF Evansville.
Miss Laura Lyon and sister.
Sallie Bryant and mother.
Mrs. Woodtree, of Henderson, and a
lady and babe with a satchel.
Mis- Hattie Murray, of Brookfield,
Alabama.
Tho bodies of the three latter were
found. The boat is II total loss; $1,000;
marine insurance. The telegraph and
telephone to Henderson is broken.

train on the Cleveland Il Lorraine &
Wheeling railway, north bound, with
water Jumped the track, turning

forward to the engine, when
q horrible sight was presented.
The engine wastwisted and broken into
a shapeless mass. The tender was on
top Of the engine. The engineer was
found seated on his cushion, bent FOR
ward, with his arms held over the top of
his head, and held firmly to the ground
by the top Of The cab. One leg was
cut off and driven into the soft
ground. He moved twice after the crew
had reached the engine and then died.
A brakeman who was riding on the en-
CINE at the time the accident occurred
was found back OF the engine, held tight
by the weight of a part OF the
cab and embedded to his waist in cord
wood that was stacked beside the track
for shipment. He begged piteously to
be release , and told the two men who
were working to release him from his
burning prison to kiss his babies for
him and tell his wife that his last breath
went out in prayer for her and her lit
tie ones. With their best efforts it tool
an hour to get him out. He was carried
to the station and died at 2 o'clock.
His remains and the remains of the
engineer we're brought to their homes at
Bridgeport to-day.

The Atlanta, ga, police are look
ing for a youpg woman who dlsa-
ppeared from her home on the
night fixed tor her wedding, attired
in her bridal robes. Her name IS
Mary Walker. Her parents reside
at No. 5OS Margam street, and are
well.to.do people. Miss Walker is
about eighteen years of age. She
is an only child, and her father
provided her with all she wanted.
She had many suitOrs for her hand
and heart. but she turned a deaf
ear to all until Lewis Elder, a hard
working mechanic, came along.
Their acquaintance soon rpened
into devotion, and when Elder
asked the girls father for his dau-
ghter's hand he readily gave his
consent. Elder insisted upon pur-
chasing the trosseau for his bride,
and with liberal hand supplied
her with money. He purchased
iewelry, ring and ribbons for her
in abundance. Finally the we'd
ding was arranged for Thursday
night last, and when dark came
Elder, arrayed in his best, sought
the Walker home. When he arriv-
ed there he ascertained that the
bridal dress had not been com
pleted, and the wedding was post
poned until Sunday night. Friday
night Elder called upon his bride

home he ascertained that her par
ents weregoing to church. They

increased when they found that her

were gone too. She did not re-
