Much Damage Done at tho Saia-
mander Works-The Nam
Building Unroofed.

The storm that was presaged all
Friday afternoon ny ominous
clouds in the northwest, broke
furiously about 4:30 O'Clock. The
wind attained a great velocity, and
accompanying it was the heaviest
rain-storm of the season. Many
trees and fences were blown down
and damage resulted in many other
ways. When the storm was lit its
! height, the roof Of the main build
ing at the Sa!tmander works was
lifted bodily by the wind, and de
posted on the engine house, a
dozen feet distant. The removal OF
the roof left the entire top floor Of
the building exposed to the ele-
ments, and the thousands of small
Innings, bricks and cupola blocks
that lay about in a half fni>hed
state, soon lost their shape under
the driving rain that fairly poured
in. The water soon found its way
through the floor and much mater
ial below was rendered next to use
less. The loss will reach several
hundred dollars.
This location seems sjngularly
ill-fated- Twice have the build
ings burned, and now the wind
gets in its work. AS on former
occasions, however, the work OF
rebuilding was commenced before
the work of destruction had fairly
stopped. The factory is far be-
hind with orders and this unfort-
innate occurrence incurs the loss of
a week. TO give an idea Of the
rush at the works, shipments of
brick were made last week, when
the product was SO hot from the
kilns as to scorch the straw in the
bottom of the cars.
OTHER DAMAGES.
The buggy house of Edgar
Dudgeon, on West Liberty street,
was blown away Friday night. The
large stable IA moved twelve
inches from its foundation, and
several smaller outhouses were
turned over.
The wind did severe damage at
"Lakeview," the country home of
George A. Morris, in the southern
suburbs.
Valuable shade trees in various
parts Of the city were blown down.
