Extent OF tho Tornado at Akron
Ohio,

Ohio.
AKRoN, Ohio May l1.---Darkness set
in so soon after the tornado that tore
through the southern part OF this city
Saturday evening that not half All idea
could be gotten Of the fierceness or ex-
tent of the terrible storm. II moved
almost in a straight line. through n
well settled part of the city, and there
is scarcely foot of the mile and half
but is strewn to-day with splinters,
loose timbers, broken furniture, up
rooted trees and leyeled barns and out
houses. In n trip over tho storms path
to-day nineteen dwellings were counted
either ripped into kindling wood or so
badly wrecked that they can not be oc-
cupied. Twenty families, numbering
about seyenty.iiye persons, are out OF
house and home, and are being sheltered
by friends.
OF the eighteen persons injured all
will probably recover.
Seventy-iive buildings, including res
licences, barns and outhouses, were
damaged by the wind. and not one
escaped that was In tho line Of the tor
nado. The uprooted trees are counted
by scores. and the outhouses In some
cases were transplantcd from my to
one hundred feet and sct down I'm neigh
boring yards, Thousands of people Wis
tied the scene of destruction to-day. In
several churches relief papers were
started. and several thousand dollars
will be raised for the immediate wants
OF the homeless people.
William Poole and daughter, who had
Just driven into their barn. were caught
up with the building and rolled with u
to the bottom OF tho hill on which II
stood. That no lives were lost Is most
wonderful. There arc many instances
OF families escaping by taking refuge IN
cellars.
