THE WISCONSIN TORNADO
Further Particulars of the Storm Which
Played Havoc at Superior.

furtner fart1CularS OF the storm Which
Played Havoc at Superior.
MINNEAPOLIS, July T.--Dispatches
from various towns in Stearns, Sherburne
and Benton counties show that much dam
age was done to crops by hail storms that
accompanied the tornado at Superior yes
terday. The track of the hail storm was
from st. Joseph, passing over st. Cloud, st.
Augusta and Fair Haven in Stearns county.
Here it crossed the river and struck Haven,
Sherburne county, and the southern portion
of Benton county. The storm was from
three to five miles wide and destroyed or
seriously damaged $500 acres, or 30, 900
bushels of wheat. Farmers in this belt
have suffered in this way for three sue
cessive seasons, and are left almost desti-
tute now.
Later reports from Superior, Wis, show
that the collapsed building was fimsy af-
fair, intended for hotel, with 80 rooms,
and much feeling is manifested against Con-
tractor Gross and Proprietor Bedocker on
account of the evident unsafety of the struc-
ture. The escape of all the carpenters is
pointed to as proving their knowledge of its
condition. A large frame building was
blown down in South Superior, and reports
from the steel plant say number of build
ings were leveled but without casualties
Lightning played havoc with the Fisher
Hotel, the Unitarian Church, the Union
depot and other buildings

of Toledo, to whom the city owes her glory
almost as much as to her Kings, sent criers
throughout the cities and towns of Spain
inviting architects, Christian and Moorish,
to undertake the reconstruction of the bridge
of San Martin; but with no result. The
difficulties to be. encountered were Judged
insurmountable.
At length one day a man and a woman.
complete strangers to the city, entered
Toledo through the Cambron gate They
carefully inspected the ruined bridge. Then
they engaged a small house near the ruins,
and proceeded to take up their quarters
there.
On the following day the man proceeded
to the Archbishop's palace.
His Eminence was holding a conference
of prelates, learned men and distinguished
knights, who were attracted by his piety
and wisdom.
Great was his Joy when one of his attend
ants announced that an architect from
distant lands solicited the honor of an audi
ence.
The Cardinal Archbishop hastened to re-
celve the stranger. The first salutations
over, His Eminence bade him be seated.
"My Lord Archbishop" began the
