BArox RoUsE La. July IA cyclone
passed over the lower portion of own
yesterday morning. ~unroohng houses
tearing up immense trees and EARRING
missiles along with a. The governors
mansion was directly In the path Of the
cyclone and Il made \ clean sweep Of
every chimney and all the trees around
a. The roof Of the handsome residence
belonging q Mr.. Marshall was carried
away and great damage was done N
the place.
The boulevard was one mass Of trees
torn up by the wind aud the street was
filled with debris There was scarcely
n pane of glass left In town and a few
houses are completely unroofed Resi-
denees were taken mp by the wind and
carried for miles
At the pcnitentiary the scene was n
terrible one.
Without any warning whatever the
walls Of the factory in which 100 con-
victs were at work were crushed In as
II they had been mere pasteboard. The
guards were helpless and as most Of
the men at work were either killed or
wounded little could be done toward
extricating the unfortunate victims u n
Ill help arrived from the min prison
building.
To add TO the horror OF the situation
the ruins caught fire from the furnace
In the engine room, but owing 10 the
heavy rain which was falling the threat
ened holocaust was averted The res
cuers were quickly 10 work and began
the task Of extrieating the dead and dy-
ing from beneath the ruins OF the
force at work when the storm struck
the building It was discovered that
ten had been killed and thirty seri-
ously wounded, and all more or less
bruised. This was not the worst
The hospital of the p~enitentiary,
In which was lying a number Of
MANNED and helpless convicts, was also
leveled TO the ground by the fury Of
the storm. The work of rescue ut the
factory building. where the larger num-
Der OF lives were in danger, diverted
attention from the unfortunates
in the hospital and II was
not until most Of the working force
had been rescued that the prison off,
cials found time TO turn their attention
To the hospital.
In the city fifty houses at least were
unroofed or destroyed.
The storm was attended by n most
violent rain in which the rescuers
worked and which lasted for several
hours.
The wounded include nine white and
four colored convicts from New Orleans
and sixteen white and seven colored
convicts from other parts of the state.
OF these about six are expected to die
and the recovery of several of tho
Others is extremely doubtful.
The total damage to the penitentiary
buildings is estimated at $50, 600.
