ruins. and presented an appearance in
her mangled condition approaching
hideousness. Her arms were drawn
up rigidly and her face bruised, black

Near her, dressed neatly for the tomb.
lay Bridget Grove. Over her stopped
her sister Mary, who raineG tears upon
the distorted cOuntenance OF the
dead woman. Bridget and Mary lived
together, but last evening the latter
stepped out for short time and thus,
no doubt, saved her life. Here also lay
the body of a man of perhaps thirty-five
years of age, who had not been posi-
lively identified, but was supposed to
be Mr. Mckee, from Danville, KY. A
gentleman came in softly and raised the
sheet and gazed into the features OF
the corpse. but turned away with
look of hope in his eyes. He was
searching for his nephew, Charles Gill
christ. who worked at the Seventh
street depot, but had disappeared last
night. Crossing the street TO Wyatt
& Cradles, was found the body
of Franz Depp, fireman, living near
the corner of Eighteenth and Maple
streets. Depp stepped into Ulrich's
store near his home after supper to get
cigar. and while there met his death.
He had the appearance of being scalded
to death. The skin had

from his mouth and ears. Frank Paul
lay in pine box, dreadfully mangled.
He had been killed while standing in
Ike Burg's saloon on Main street. The
body of Frank Hoy was also lying here.

ments, and the debris lines both sides
so that there is scarcely room to pass
through the center of the street. The
damage, however. was mostly confined to
the portions of the houses above the
first stories. Strange as it may seem,
notwithstanding the terrific force of the
wind and the air being filled with flying
missiles of every description, the men,
bers of but one family were injured to
any serious extent. This was the Sabrie
family, living at 331, the first
house south of Main street, on the
east side. The Sabrie residence was a
two-story brick, and all of the members
of the family-father. mother and sons
were in it. The tornado tore it to
pieces in twinkling, and all were
caught beneath the tumbling ruins ex-
cept John Sabrie, one of the sons.
John then set to, work eXtricating his
father and mother, both of whom were
injured, but to what extent cannot
yet be told. The others were taken out
as soon as help could be had, and il, was
found that William Sabrie was dead.
All of the others were badly injured.

this morning the front wall
of sitting room of the second floor was
gone, but the articles of furniture in
side were not even blown over. A baby's
rocking horse was standing in the mid
