the scene, was one which certainly
heyond description. The earlier dispatches
from the unfortunate city were by no means
exaCgerations Terrible as seems the tale
which the telegraph told, it was not half re-
lated The loss of life, the number of in
iured and the loss of property was much
greater than the meagre dispatches late in
the afternoon would lead the sympathiz-
ing people of St Paul, Minneapolis and OF
Minnesota to believe. The death-dealing
elements struck the town at the northern
commencement of its business section, and
went through with such force that practi-
cally nothing of the business portion of the
city remains to tell the story OF its former
pride. The cyclone crossed the Mississippi
river at a point about one mile
the city, and it's terrible ravages
covers a territory extending the whole
of the city, and leaving a widt of about
fifty rods The dead number between
twenty-five and thirty, while the injured
will probably reach at least sixty. About

noble buildings for a town of the pretensions

A majority of them have not one board
upon another, but were scattered to the
four winds The detachment OF physicians
from Minneapolis was a boon to survivors Of
the ruined city. The corps wac organized
under DR.. Kilvington, and consisted of Drs
Higbee, Freeman, G. D. Allen, Lee, Bunker,
Schuley and Miller. The doctors were met
by q gladened committee near where the
uepou Formerly sJood. Iney were escorted
over the ruins of Broadway to the Beatty
hotel, which was one of the very few large
buildings which escaped the wrecking ele-
ment The hotel was used as a receptacle
for the wounded, and its inmates were I'M
firing in their efforts to ALLEVIATE the suffer
ings of those unfortunates who were brought
to the house for treatment
A tour of the stricken village revealed the
fact that no less Than twenty-five persons
had been instantly killed, and whose bodies
were recovered from the mass of ruins.
They were as follows:
JOHN RENARD, county auditor.
GREGG LINDLEY, register of deeds.
dwarf TALL, banker of st, Cloud.
GERTRUDE G. FLETCHER, visiting rela-
tives.
S. P. CARPENTER and two children.
Mrs. FRINK and four children.
CARRIE SMART, domestic at Mrs. Woods.
HERMAN BEAGH's two children.
Mrs. DEVIE L. ALBRIGHT.
A. w. LAKE.
Mr.. SCHUYLER
Mrs. SEVERSoN.
Mr.. PAPENFUS, wife aud two children.
Child of ABNER ST. AYR
There are several of the wounded who
will doubtless die. There are many persons
too who are missing, and who are supposed
to be beneath the deadly ruins, ana it would
not be surprising if the list of dead would
reach thirty or thirty-ive. The third
Of s. P. Carpenters children is mortally
wounded The child is eleven years of age,
and had a large splinter driven through the
body. Mr.. Hurlburt, travelling agent of
the Mutual Iife-Insurance Company Of
New York, at IL o'clock tonight was lying
house. He was riding with Mr.. Hull. the
dead banker, when the latter was
killed. Mr.. Hurlbert's injuries are
about the heod and face, his arms badly in
jured, and his physicians expect that he can
not possibly survive until morning. The
prevalence of a terrible storm made the
work OF looking for the dead n
and the storm finally became so severe that
the grief-stricken, sad searchers had to
abandon their task, and the physi-
clans Of St Cloud, although hav-
ing more than they could possibly
attend to in their own afflicted city, nobly
divided themselves. and several Of them
hurriedly drove to the scenes of still greater
horrors in the opposite side of the river.
Their services were most certainly needed
for there were the wounded and the dying
who needed prompt and intelligent treat
ment Doctors Jordan, Giddings and Dun
ham of Anoka were also early on the scene.
A later dispatch announces the death of Mr..
Hubert
