DEATH IN THE CYCLONE.
Washington City Visited by Severe Storm
OF Wind and Rain.

The warm weather Of Sunday, which con-
tinued through the night and until Monday,
Nov. %, was the breeder Of the most violent
wind and rain storm that Washington has ex-
perieneed In the past quarter of q century. A
slight rain began early on Monday morning,
and the weather was as warm as is usually ex-
perieueed in this locality in the middle of june.
About II O'clock banks Of heavy black clouds
appeared in the southwest, and at 1890 the
wind, which had been blowing almost gale
all morning, turned into q violent tornado.
while the black clouds opened and the rain fell
by the bucketful. Houses were unroofed,
ehimneys blown down, and shutters went
flying through the streets in dangerous prox-
unity to pedestrians who were so unfortunate
as TO be exposed To the elements.
The new Music Hall in course of construction
on Twelfth street, between + and streets
northwest, was blown down upon the rear of
the buildings fronting on F street, and George
White, tailor. two young women who were
employed in Whites shop, and a brieklayer at
work on the Music Hall, were caught by the
falling masonry, White being killed and the
others all badly injured. Hundreds Of houses
were unrOOfed, among them the Second Audi
tors Office of the Treasury Department.. The
damage is roughly placed at S250,0O0.
