THE WORST TRACES OF THE STORM. E'
Y Aleagre reports come from Moscow,
where the worst traces Of the path Of the
tornado are seen. There the Methodist
Church and il school house are in ruins,
and In the country between there aud
Clinton, there are said to be numerous
evidences Of tho storms fury, though no
lives were lost. Tho storm passed north
offNew Madrid, Mo, crossing the river
near u point opposite Moscow, thence
northwest 10 Clinton and WicklilIe. The
first house struck in Clinton was the
section house .of tho Illinois Central
Railroad occupied by Mr.. John Rhoades
and family.aThe house was torn to spliu.
tiers and Mr.. Rhoades and two children
were killed outright His wife and one
child escaped death, but are hotl, dan.
gerously hurt. ~ g3s
= The house OF Mr.. John tiaddies was
blown down, and afterwards ! Guddies
was found under The debris with an in.
iant in his arms. Gaddies was dead,
but the child was not hurt. The house
Of Robert johnson was next struck.
Both Mr.; Johnson and his son Robert
we're dangerously 4 hurt. The storm
struck the town without tho slightest
warning. Many! knew nothing Of it
until their roofs we're falling about lheil
heads. Before storm the evening was
warm and a heavy rain had fallen all
day. but after the storm it suddenly
turned cold. "A great deal OF suffering
was caused thereby. 1t is thought The
city will be able to supply all demands
for help from the homeless, and a com:
mittee is ut work seeking aid. Already
one5 thousand dollars have been sub
scribed toward charity fund. The city
stood partly on the side of#a hill ant
partly in the valley. 1t was the portion
on the hill side which suffered. Medi
cal assistance was sent from here las
night. g N 3sl5. ~
The ecity to-day presentsadrear aspect
but under. the circumstances the citizens
bear their burdens nobly. Tue work O.
helping the destitute and homeless goes
forward. Many farmers whose land.
aaj6in the city have come forward ant
offered shelter and homes to, those who
have lost their all. i,S :! !.i;; .{y n
