none of the occupants were hurt.
From Sixteenth down to Nineteenth, how
Catholic buildings at Seventeenth and
Broadway were the Sisters home, the pa
rochial school, Father Disney's residence
and the Sacred Heart church. They were
all blown down, and Sister Plus was buried
in the ruins. When taken ont by rcscung
party she was dead. All of the other Sis
tiers escaped withou. VII. injury; 7! Three liyes e;

limerick, aged forty years; his daughter,
aged four years, and James Fitzgerald,

into the little barber shop of John Reuthcr
when the storm burst. The roof was torn
off and carried away, and the walls were
dows and doors and ran into the street.
