BIRMINGHAM, April FLA destruc.
tive cyclone passed over = portion of
Geneva county, Ala, late Saturday
afternoon. No towns wers In the path
OF the tornado, but a number OF farm
houses with their outbuildinRs were
destroyed. Tie patti OF the cyclone was
only lew hundred yards in width and
about miles long. In its course It
swept everything before 1t.
Owing to the section visited by the
storm being remote from a telegraph
office, the full extent OF tho damage and
the number OF lives Lost have not been
ascertaincd. II is thought, however, that
the loss OF life will not be great.
The cyclone appeared in the form OF
iunpel-shaped cloud, which could be seen
Tor many miles, and a number OF farm
houses were torn to fragments and fcat-
tered in all directions. Fences were
blown away. cattle killed and the loss OF
property will be heavy. Relief parties
from the surrounding country are going
over the ground, and by to-day the full
extent Of the damage will probably be
a3certained.
