DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.

town and left 1t IN ruins and killed hfteen
to twenty people. It is feared that many
more than are known to have been killed
will be found among the ruins Of the build
ings.
Fire Immediately broke out all over the
city amid the ruins, spreading rapidly ow-
ing to the damage done the engine by the
wind. The storm passed from the south
west and had rotary motion. 1t swept
down with fearful fury, striking first just
south of the city hall, then carried away the
third and fourth stories of Mount Vernon
mill. From there it swept on in path 500
yards wide.
The Methodist church fell just a few min
utes before $50 people left the Sunday-school
room. The Commercial Hotel lost its third
story. Next the wind struck the county
courthouse and rendered it heap of ruins.
By rare luck, however, the county records
were saved.
The Crews block on the south side Of the
square is leveled with the earth, and under
it was found the body Of John Crew, the
owner of the block, formerly of Chicago.
The 1oof and second story of Stratton & Co. s
hardware store was blown away. A large
two story brick school house did not with
stand the terrible shock any better than the
smallest house in the track of the cyclone.
The large two story frame house Of Geo.
Ward was picked up and carried about
twenty feet and left unhurt, while two brick
buildings within one hundred feet were left
in ruins.
The loss cannot be estimated, but not less
than million dollars worth Of property has
been destroyed by the cyclone and fire in
{ that neiohborhood. The sky has cleared
and no clouds give any intimation Of the
disastrous storm of few hours ago.
It is growing colder and many homeless
people will suffer if the weather becomes
severe.
| Reports are coming in from the country
I Eand the storm seems to have swept every
thing for miles. Incalculable loss of life
and great suffering will follow unless outside
assistance is given.
One hundred persons are being cared for
I by physicians in the best possible manner.
The railroad shops were badly damaged aud
great many homes destroyed. People are
outdoors who live in the track of the storm.
The dead and dying are scattered through
| out the city. The doors of all remaining
houses have been thrown open to the less
fortunate.
Three-fourths of the business portion Of
the city is ruined financially. The public
ssquare is in the centre of the town and the
courthouse is in the centre of the square.
The school building is in the northwest part
of the city, and all dwellings in that por.
i tion Of the city are destroyed and the ruins
of some are still burning. In all FIVE hun,
dred buildings are destroyed and many
others injured.

COLLECTING TIE coRPSEs.

The dead are now being gathered at the
Supreme Courthouse, which has been con-
verted into hospital for the dead and

but not seriously. The latest reports show

whom will die before morning

CHICAGO, Feb. ia cyclone struck
Mount Vernon, ILL.,, to-day. The town was
virtually destroyed. Anumber of lives were
lost and many persons injured. Mount

the State, about sixty miles east of St. Louis

grams were received this evening at Evans

A train with two engines was at once sent
having on board a surgeon and such other
assistance as could be hastily gathered. The
cyclone struck Mount Vernon at 4.45 to-day
from the northwest, sweeping around IN a
half-circle ant levelng half the town. The
remainder of the place caught fire, and as
there was strong wind blowing, the flames
soon got beyond control of the fire depart

Above the roar of the winds could be heard
the shrieks and groans of the dying. Bodies
half buried in debris could be seen on eve

How Did the Baby Know

Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.
A very curious incident was recently related
to me by my dear little friend Madame Nevada
Palmer. Ii will be remembered that a few
months ago her father, DIR. Wixom, died very
suddenly Of a third stroke OF paralysis in Cali
fornia. he left Paris q year ago, 50 that his
baby granddaughter. now two years old. had no
recollection of him whatever. Little Mignon
Palmer is a bright, talkative child. and always
has much to say when her nurse brings her
into her mothers room in the morning.
One day, however, the little creature
seemed unusually serious and silent. Finally
she remarked: Mamma. erandpapa has gone
away" But grandpapa is not here. baby" re-
sponded Madame Nevada, $50 he cannot have
left u.s." But Mienon only continued to repeat
her phrase ''Grandpapa has gone away" Her
persistency struck her father. aud without say
ing anything TO his wife he privately took a note
OF the hour aud the day of the month. Shortly
after the tidings Of Dr.. Wixom's death arrived.
and on comparison OF the date and computation
of the difference of time. it was found that he
must have expired just q few hours before his
baby grandchild had announced his departure.
