WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION.
It is almost impossible tonight to give
a reliable estimate of the pecuniary
dam ge, but it will probably be $40, 600
or 500, 900, in the immediate vicinity of
the wrecked building. The cyclone
wrought terrible destruction in other
parts of the city and out upon the rail-
roads centering here. A portion of the
foundry of Mcintosh, Hemphill & Co.,
on Thirteenth street, was wrecked, az
was also a house in Allegheny. At
Walls station, OH the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, large brick building, owned by
the Westinghouse Air Brake Company i,
was partially demolished, and at Viii.
merdiDgse coal tipple was wrecked.
At McKeesport, houses we're ulroofed :,
trees blown down and windows smashed.
Three houses in the course of erection
we're blown to pieces. On the river a
number of boats we're torn from their
moorings and cast adrift like corks, but
they we're secured before much damage
was done. The velocity of the wind was
| fifty miles IN hour, the highest record
for years. 1t is still blowing hard to-
night, but it is growing colder and the
weather is clearing.
| LArER-IIsT OF THE DEAD.
The list of dead identified up to II
O'Clock was as follows: Samuel Stranger,
aged 16 years, painter; Thomas Jones,
bricklayer; Charles Fritch, aged 16
years; George Mason, carpenter; colored
boy named Fargge, bootblack; George
Kirsch, barber, aged Is years. The little
girl, McGlone, is not dead as previously
stated, but in serious condition. The
remains of one man have not been iden
titled as yet. The Inspector of Police
said at late hour tonight that he was ol
the opinion that from fifteen to twenty
five persons were yet in the ruins, and he
would not be surprised if the death-list i
increased to fifteen or twenty.
| STILL MORE VICTIMS.
| UP to midnight no more victims were
discovered. At 6: AS o'clock this even
the voice of boy named Gattman waf
lheard, but the rescuers could not locate
him. He said that he was all right il
they could get at him. At IL O'Clock
however, he had not been reached anC
no sound could be heard. II
is feared he died of exhaus
ton. The body OF G colored
boy was taken out of the ruins about IL
O'Clock. He was terribly crushed and
his viscera were protruding. A num-
Der OF narrow escapes were reported.
Seven men were thrown from the seventh
story to the ground and escaped with
slight bruises. It is learned that the
