side they would have been far from compe-
tent to cope with the fire. since tho flames
appeared in so many places at once. Many
who were wounded, or perhaps buried I'm.
hnrs among the ruins. are almost certainly
burned to death.
The storm was precelel by n dash of rain
and hail, and thenibroke suddenly with les
full force over the city. Many people were
in the streets. Two hundred and fifty people
had just left the Methodist church Sunday
school rooms and were scarcely more than
safely beyond its walls when the building
was dashed to pieces like finder. Many
who were in the streets We're struck by fall
ing walls or timbers and either killed or
more or less seriously wounded. Some we're
literally lifted Off their feet and dashed
against the walls or upon the ground, and
many of them had most miraculous escapes
from instant death.
The desolation OF the situation at the time
can not easily be described. Night was rap
idly coming on, and the gathering darkness
lent an added terror to the scence. The
storm itself had envslopsd the city IN dark
ness while IL did its destroying work, and
after 1t had passed there was but little light
of day left by which the survivors
could look For lost friends or ruined
homes The fame, from many blaz'n e
ruins, however, soon lit up the scene, but
With light that only added to the desola.

land vetoed during the last session OF

Of this bill hope to obtain its passage
and approval, as the clearness and ex.

objections raised against it by the
President in his veto. The Pensions

nothing is too good for the men who
