An Awful Disaster that Came wuhou,
WnrninE...sIuny Persons Killed.
LAWRENCE, MASS, July 27.-Msssa.
ctlusetts experienced yesterday all the
horrors OF the cyclone, and long list oI
dead and wounded and scores OF wrecked
buildings at South LAWRENCE and Nortl,
Andover bear witness Of the awful
strength Of the whirlwind. The devas.
tation has been complete. For q dis
tance OF n mile there is n well.dclnetl
path way about 500 feet wide, in which
nothing romans Of n prosperous section
OF this manufacturing city but wrecked
buildings and streets piled high with
debris.
There was no warningo OF the cyclones
visit. The rain was falling in torrents
and everybody was glad that the pro.
longed drought was over. The wind
was higher than usual, but nobody
dreamed that the awful visitations OF
Western States, which have been read
about, would be repeated in tho old
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
SuDD EN- CRASH.
Suddenly there came u sound Of crash.
ing timbcrs, and houses began to topple
over in all directions. Some mighty
force that could not be seen lifted roofs
from houses, twisted the frames into
kindling wood and hurled the frac.
fncnts into the street or against other
buildings. With mighty roar, the de.
structive agent swept through the city,
and those who were in its pathway had
no time to escape.
Some were picked up like straws and
dashed to death. Others survived The
awful onslaught, and felt as though they
had been through hadcs itself. 1t was
all over in q few moments. and then
those who had been srared were eye
witnesses to sonle OF the most terrible
scenes OF death and anguish. The work
OF cyclones in the West never made
much Impression on New England peo-
plo, because they were SO remote from
this locality, but to-day they had real.
istic sense Of what tina wind can do.
THE WORK OF RESCUE.
Rescung parties are searching among
the remains Of what had once been
sheltering homes, for bodies OF the luck
less inmates. Just how many have been
killed cannot be stated, bu: it il feared
that about twenty people lost their
lives. Twelve bodies were recovered be.
fore uightfall, and more are believed to
be beneath the timbers Of some build
ings.
The number OF wounded is large. The
hospitals are filled aad halls have been
turned into temporary hospitals. There
nre scores who are cutand bruised, but
who are able to attend to their own IN
jaries. The physicians have cared Tor
about fifty. That the list of dead is no
larger seems almost miracle.
There are many whose lives were saw
ed by Il hairsbreadth. and it is these
people. who can best tell the story OF the
storms fury. This was the same citv
that on january 10, 1860, witnessed the
awful slaughter Of mill operatives when
the Pemberton mill collapsed. At that
time ! II were killed outright and AL
were injured.
