MORE THAN A CYCLONE.
1t Was Tornado of Great Breadth and
Extent.

1t Was Tornado of Great Breadth and
Extent.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 28.-It is very
evident that the storm was not mere
cyclone, as it's effect is too widespread.
For miles in either direction from the city
occasional roofs are torn off and trees
lifted out by the roots. AS the special
train sped towards the fated city, bear
ing the Associated Press representatives
from indianapolis, evidences were first
noticeable fully fifty miles out. First
came to view an occasional dead tree
broken tc pieces, then larger and more
substantial trees, finally the monarchs of
the forest. Many little towns along the
Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis
road were fairly stripped of signs and
gingerbread work.
When the scene of disaster was reached
an appalling sight was presented.
Crowds of people througed the Four
teenth-street station, and from there up
Main street to the heart of the city, was
a mass of humanity. On the other side
was wreck and ruin. Stores in heaps
presented the appearance of having
simply crumbled to the earth. Gangs
OF rescuers were at work ON great masses
of debris in the search for victims of the
AWFUL Lie WIcCk WAS 50 great
that it beggars attempt at detail.
LOUISVILLE, March 2S. Y 80 p. NIT
is now thought the deaths will number
about $50. A large force has been sent
out to make athorough canvass of the
devastated district and report the losses
of life and property as fully as possible.
They will try and make a statement to-
night. ,a..
The property loss at present is esti-
mated at nearly million dollars.
The work of rescuing the mangled
dead goes bravely on. Hundreds of
anxious men are working as they never
worked before for bodies of friends and
relatives that lie buried in the mass of
brick and mortar that covers the site
where yesterday stood Falls City hall.
The cries OF men, women and children
are heard on every side, and a
surging crowd of ten thousand
people block the streets for several
squares. 1t is a sight to strike
anguish to the soul. The pen is power
less to express the awful scenes that
each succeeding minute rolls through
the ghastly panorama. The bodies of
dead and wounded are being dragged
from beneath the ruins all around the
district, and the men, women and child
ren, who linger about, are filled with
dread and anxiety, lest they recognize in
the shapeless mass the remains Of some
relative or friend.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-03-29

impossible tonight to obtain an authentic
list of the dead and wounded, as COM
munication by wire is cut OF. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the reports from
the different villages will swell the list of
dead in an alarming manner. Probably
the most damage done was at Rogana,
that town being almost completely swept
away, but few houses escaping. House
hold goods, merchandise, farm imple-
ments and everything was swept indis-
criminately into Bledsoe creek. Tonight
many people are destitute. Efforts at
relief are yet very slight, every town
being dazed and worried with the care
of its own dead and injured. Gallatin is
wild tonight. 3n

PATH OF THE STORM.
The Awful Ruin Left in the Cyclones
Track.

Track.
LOUISVILLE, March 2S.-The tornado
entered the southeastern portion of the
city at Eighteenth street, swept path
five blocks wide diagonally, reaching in
ragged line to Seventh street, leveling
every building in its path, probably
$500 houses. A rough estimate puts
the killed at 500, with thousands of in
jured. The city is filled with crazed
mass of people, wildly seeking their
friends. A large force of men is at work
on the ruins. One hundred bodies have
been recovered. The buildings on the
main street, from Eighth to Fourteenth,
are in ruins. Not one of the handsome
wholesale houses is left, and all the
tobacco warehouses have been swept
away. f so.s %.
Every house on Market, Jefferson and
Walnut streets, from Tenth to Six
teenth is in ruins Parkland suburb is
swept away. Such desolation no city
has known in this century. Every build
ing, tree and telegraph pole. in the dis
trict struck is leyeled M
The cyclone was predicted by the
Signal Service yesterday afternoon, but
no heed was paid to the warning. The
cyclone came with scarce warning
sound, and in all the buildings struck
the inhabitants were engaged in their
usual vocations
The district laid waste comprises an
area three miles long and nearly half a
mile wide.
The Louisville hotel was unroofed and
otherwise wrecked. The next building
west, occupied as cigar-store upon the
first floor and sleeping rooms upon the
second and third, was razed to the
ground, not single brick remaining in
place. In the destruction of this house
many lives were lost, principally per-
sons who occupied sleeping-rooms there.
Many of them were girls employed at
the hotel.
Saloons and other available places
have been turned into hastily improvised
morgues, where bodies are taken as re-
covered and left awaiting identification,
Eleventh street seemed to serve as
kind of fue for the storm. All the
intercepting objects in that line were
practically reduced to nothingness.
Down this streetit carried the fronts Of
the buildings, mostly residences, on
each side, leaving in many instances
the furniture and other contents un-
molested. Jefferson and Market streets
are in almost as bad condition as Main.
Hundreds of wagons are busy carting
away soiled and broken furniture from
the shattered houses.
Along Main street, the path of the
storm extended from Sixth to Eleventh
streets, and from Seventh to Eleventh
streets not a single building was left
standing.
This morning presented one of the
most stupendous spectacles of disaster
and ruin ever witnessed. In the course
of the storm lay the great tobacco
market. Today the warehouses lie in
ruins. Thousands of hogsheads of to-
bacco lie in mass of brick and mortar.

IN TENNESSEE!
A Large Section of Country Devastated.
Many Lives Lost.

GALLATIN, Tenn, March 2S. - The
worst storm in the history of this place,
visited here last night. Two miles out a
number of houses were destroyed. In
town the residence of John Hibbott was
blown away, and his eighteen-months-
old baby and twelve-year-old boy were
killed, and Hibbott and wife fatally in
jured. VIM. Patterson's residence was
demolished and five persons injured.
James Patterson's house was wrecked,
and he and his wife very badly hurt.
Many other residences were destroyed.
The cyclone did it's worst work after
leaving here, however; for twenty-five
miles everything was damaged. All the
houses beyond Bledsoe, up to Emil,
Macon county, have been partially
wrecked or demolished. Fully one hun
dred people are crippled in that section
and are under the care Of doctors. 1t is

Curious Features of the Storm at Me-
tropo1is, Illinois.
METROPOLIS, ILL.,, March 2S.-This town
was visited by fearful storm yesterday,
resulting in the wounding and death of
portion of its citizens, and such whole
sale destruction of property as was never
known before. Suddenly there came
from the southwest a rolling, apparently
born of the union of two clouds, which
met in midair; in moment
it swooped down in the Ohio
river, and lifting a column of water
estimated all the way from 200 to
500 feet in height. This curious phe-
nomenon swept onward, striking the
river front. From there it rushed
through the residence and business por-
ton of the city, nothing in its path
escaping damage more or less serious.
A number of buildings were completely
demolished. Not one of the more costly
and prominent buildings in the city es-
capped. Aliens hotel, Winton's stave
works, the Metropolitan Woolen Mills,
the First National Bank, Wittaman's
carriage factory, Jail and city buildings,
and the Empire FIGURING Mills
and warehouses are among those who
contribute most to the loss The only
person killed outright was Emily Mar
shall, a colored woman, but the list of
wounded is long. There were marvellous
escapes, the most notable being that of
the family of William Matthias, whose
residence was overturned and carried
away leaving the family on the lower
floor unframed. In the country the de-
vastatiOn is even more appalling. Sew
eral farm residences and outbuildings
were entirely swept away, but no one
was seriously hurt. The loss here is
over a quarter of a million.
