WACO, Tx, May 29.-The violence 0

the rain aud tornado Of Wednesday night
The rainfall did not cease until yesterda,
morning. Allstreams in and close to the
suburbs Of the city, the banks Of which
were dotted with hundreds Of ofresidences
oyeraowed and transformed their sur
roundines into q vast sea. Ths scenes o.
terror and confusion were heartrending,
People fed for the lives from their homes
In the widest ofthe raging storm. Thomas
Denninghoif, his wife and three small
children remained in their house, which
was washed away, and all were drowned.
Their bodies were recovered and buried
yesterday. Howard Lewis. his wife, his
sister, and three small children lost their
lives in . similar manner. Eleven per
sons are known TO have perished, and five
others are unaccounted for and reported
to be drowned. The damage to property
by the tornado was very large. The total
damage in the cityis estimated at SO, 900.

dated since Sunday, and the scenes there
yesterday were indescribable. Seeing
that the waters Of the Brazos river threat
ened them with watery graves the entire
population = about 1000 persons fled
from their homes in the midst OF the
storm, aided in escaping by the light Of
The vivid lightning and hundreds Of Lam

portion otthe city.
The river rose all day, but at Q o'clock

There were no trains on any

were swept away and the road-beds badly

ire reported.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. 4
At1l:S0 o'clock last night the Brazos
liver had fallen 9 inches. The highest
,oint reached was 50 inches above the
high water mark Of the great overflow Of
,tlast year. The approaches to the sus-
pension bridge on the east side ofthe
liver were demolished. Any large OBJ
itructions from above may carry both
bridges away at any moment. The esti.
mates Of the damage to property in and
Lbout Waco do not include the damage to
;rops and farm properly, which cannot
low be estimated, but good judges place
he damage to the growing crops at s., ,000,-
100. The storm was so terrific for three
hours that it may be properly called ator-
iado, accompanied by rain. Between 8 !

ike the distant roar ot Niagara. Every
,ody in the city was up all night. Many

Der session Of the manufacturers to-day.
Secretary Weeks is in Washington City
to-day" said the clerk. "Don't know
when he will be back"
There are some who say Mr.. Weeks
business will take him east and north from
Washington among the iron men, but
what that business Is, whether connected
in any way with the situation here, is a
question hard to answer. What manu-
iacturers were seen to-day did not know
what was likely to happen by tomorrow.
They refused 10 state whether or not they
would sign the scale. Some are already
reported as having signed II, though when
asked they say they have not.

was no light ON the stairway and
he missed the first step with his
cruJch, and when his weight came
down on his crutch it threw him
over headforemost. He struck at

port that, though painful, his
wounds are not very serious.
