The devastation on Chestnut steeet
begins half way between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets and extends to the
middle of the block bounded on the east
and west by Sixteenth and Seventeenth
street. On the north side of the street
not more than six buildings in the three
= blocks escaped, but most of them were
so irretrivably damaged that they will
have to be razed to the ground as they
: cannot berepaired.
The situation at the Seventh street
Union depot was unchanged at last ae-
counts save that p passenger coaches
were wrecked in the debris, instead of
: two as was first reported.
During the storm there was panic at
the Louisville Hotel. The dining room
was crowded and three ladies tainted at
the sound of the wind and falling walls
) On the top floor, next the wall that was
blown down, was the room of Mr.. ThOS.
Sayres, the proprietor of the New York
Steam Laundry. With him were his
wife and child. They were sitting in
the room when the wall commenced to
crack and sway. Mr.. Sayres, with rare
presence of mind, seized his wife and
child and ran out of the room into the
corridor as the wall fell with a terrible
crash on the cigar store of Virgil Wright.
Mrs. Sayres is very III from the effects
of the fright.
Some of the hotel guests did not know
anything about the accident until told
Of it, when they became almost panic
stricken.
+, One hundred bodies have been recov-
cred up to the present time, and there
are but few persons not accounted for.
The damage to property approXimates
S3,000,000 in Louisville alone.
In Jeffersonville it is about S750,000.
Many of the wrecked houses are men
ace to life and to property that escaped
the fury of the storm, and they have
been ordered torn down. Gangs of men
under direction of city officers are clear
ing away the debris from the Streets
The embargo on business has been rails
ed and traffic has been resumed. The
outlook is bright and cheerful, and eff
forts are being made to have the dam
age assumed by the community without
the aid of outside help.

LITTLE Judith, the eight year old
daughter Of Mr.. Mullineaux, of the IN
Iowa, on learning that her special play
mate, child of her own age, had taken
the whOOping cough, took bottle of
medicine, which had cured her of a
troublesome cough, and went over and
said: "Y ou must take this medicine. 1t
will do you good" Mr.. Null neaux was
curious as to the result and on making |
inquiry learned that the little neighbOr, |
who had been unable to rest at night, |
had been greatly relieved in that respect. |
The paroXysms were neither so frequent, |
severe or enduring. The cough under |
the general action of this admirable |
remedy, was loosened The medicine |
liquefies the mucus ard enables the
sufferer to throw it Off The attack in |
the beginning gave every evidence of be-
ing severe attack of whOOping cough. |
Indeed it was a genuine case; but this
preparation, while perhaps it may not be
a positive cure for the disease, is I'M
doubtely able to alleviate it. If it does
not cure it, it will give unquestiOned re-
lief. The medicine referred tots Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. For sale by J. B.
