kAsr ST. Louis, Jan. i2.--The storm in
81. Clair county. H., was unusually severe.
BROOKLYN, village of about 500
people, seems to have suffered most
of the damage. In East st. Lonis
and Venice the damage is largely
confined TO railroad property and small
dwellings, and telegraph and telephone
poles. Brooklyn is about three miles north
Of 81. Louis. The population is largely
composed OF colored peorle. Although
several were injured no lives were lost. A
number Of dwellings are in ruins. The
Baptist church Is entirely demolished and
the ~ T.. church unroofed and turned
clear around on its foundation.
AT Belleyille, H., several public buildings
we're unroofed, but no one is reported in
jured.
The Wabash train arrived at East st.

they feared their train would be thrown

She often felt dizzy and had noises in her ears
that sounded to her as If she had a steamboat
in her head. AS the disease finally extended
to her lungs, she coughed, her breath became
short and she felt a tightness in her chest and
aching pain between her shoulders Her ap-
petite failed. and her stomach became
so weak that food or even water
in her stomach followed by nausea. She had
pains across the small Of her back and kidneys.
She became bloated and took on a dropscaI
appearance. NightsweatS weakened her very
fast. She could not sleep and would arise in
the morning more tired than on going to bed.

Home runs at the Players League game
yesterday were almost too numerous to men,
tion. Hanlon. the first man at bat in the
first inning, led off with hit to the left field
fence and crossed the home plate before the
ball was returned. Later on Carroll and
Beckley duplicated this performance. Car
roll got to first base seven times and scored
four runs. Three-base hits were so plenty
that they did not cause q ripple of excite
ment, and it was we'll nigh impossible to
keep track OF the shorter strokes. Calvin
was right in the swim and made two safe
hits, while Hanlon had three in addition to his
home run. Everybody scored at least once, and
everybody but Fields had one or more hits.
Calvin pitched a strong game, but took pity
on the Bisons near the finish, and gave them
half dozen hits and runs just to relieve the op-
pressive monotony. Keefe. on the contrary,
was wild, and when the ball did cross the plate
it usually had an immediate and pressing en-
ragement with the far outfeld. Fields played
at second base and Maui in left field, and both
covered the positions in fautless style. Visner's
excellent throwing from far right excited
favorable comment.
Further particulars are unnecessary. The
game was a great one to look at, but not one of
those YOU read about. The umpIring
trife peculiar, to say the least, but everybody
was too happy to make any decided kick. At
tendance AIS The details will be found
below:
