Among those injured were Judge Powell and
wife Mrs. Richardson, Wick Ferguson Mrs

A number of freights cars used as boarding
cars were blown from the tracks and badly
broken.
Meagre reports come from Moscow, from
where the first traces OF the path of the tornado
are seen. There the Methodist Church and
school house are in ruins, and in the country
between there and Clinton there are said to be
numerous evidences OF the storms fury. though
no lives were lost. The storm passed north of
Moscow, KY, thence northwest TO Clinton and
Wicklife
The path of the storm was about quarter ola
mile wide, and it left in its track fallen timber
through q section of forest through which it
passed before reaching Clinton.
The first house struck in Clinton was the Sec
tien-house of the Illinois Central Railroad, &C.
cupied by John Rhodes and fnmily. The house
was torn to splinters, and Rhodes and two of his
children were instantly killed. His wife and
one child escaped death, but both are danger
ously hurt
Among the many other accidents the body OF
John Gaddies was found under the debris OF his
house with an infant in his arms. Gaddies was
dead but the child was not hurt.
The house of Robert Johnson, which was on
the brow of the HILL seemed to divide in half,
cutting it in two just below the second floor and
letting the upper portion fall into its place.

fell him mining him n the porrh 10

was up stairs and dangerously hurt by the fall
ing timbers Although suffering intense agony
he begged the rescuers to let him alone and
help some one who could live His brother was
also badly hurt
he storm struck the town without the slight
est warning. Many knew nothing OF it until
the roofs of their houses were falling about their
heads.
Before the storm the evening was warm and
a heavy rain had prevailed all day, but after the
storm II suddenly turned cold and caused
great deal suffering. 1t is thought the city win
be able to supply all the demands for help from
the homeless, and a committee is at work seek
ing aid.
Already thousand dollars has been SUBJ
scribed towards the charity fund. The part OF
the city which stood on the hillside is the por-
ton that suffered from the storm. Medical as
sistance was sent from here last night.

Toe city to-day presents dreary aspect, but
under the circumstances the citizens bear their
burdens nobly. The work OF helping the desti-
tute and homeless goes forward and many
farmers whose lands sdjoin the city have come
forward and offered shelter and homes TO those
who have lost their all
The storm was the most destructive that ever
visited this section OF the country.
