electric lights sputter and fash and
the stores are brilliantly illumined. A
short time passes. The meeting at the
City Hall has dispersed and the mem
bers have sought their homes for the
sky has grown leaden and rain Is falling;
the stores have closed and in the ball
room of the Phillips House there is mu-
sic and rustling of feet and sweet smiles
and condolences. Without, the wind has
risen and storm of hail is raging The
wind rises higher and to the hail sue
ceeds rain which descends in torrents,
flooding the cutters into miniature riv-
ers. Then comes stiffness and next a
roar, succeeded by darkness, by desola-
ton and death. The storm had devel-
oped into cyclone and over the face of
Wellington it ragged, cutting, rending,
annihilating. With one fell swoop it
crushed out ten lives, fatally injured
twenty persons, made over 100 patients

the building began swaylng In the ter
rifle gale the people in the crowded ball
room made frantic rush for the doors.
The stairways and halls were filled by
crazed men and women who fought with
each other In their rush for the open air.
Some fled into the storm and were IN
jured by flying missiles. Those remain
ing within were caught In the collapse
of the building and were buried In the
ruins. Their cries for mercy were
drowned by the frightful voice OF the
storm, and then when it passed there
was silence, deep as the tomb. IL was
only for an instant, however. Sensi-
bility returned TO many, and their
voices rose from beneath the heaps OF
debris, while many Of those who had
fed returned to aid In the work OF res
cue. This was rendered difficult,
owing to the impenetrable darkness
and the torrent or rain that followed.
The gas house and the electric plant
had been wrecked, and there was no
light in the city save that which came
from the lamps carried by those who
had volunteered to bring aid to the in
jured and rescue the dead. Six bodies
were recovered from the ruins, some OF
them horribly mutilated. In the hotel
barber-shop one of the employees and a
patron of the place were killed together.
One man, Henry Smithers, escaped by
taking refuge in box. In one OF the
stairways a woman was found crushed
to death, having been caught on her
way from the ballroom to the open air.
Where the ballroom was nothing was
left but heap of bricks and lumber.

Dental and miraculous escape of the
child of Frank Bowers, a barber. When
the cloud demolished Bowers house the
child was peacefully sleeping in a cradle
beside its mothers bed. The house
was torn to fragments, yet the wind

out Of the cradle, and, with a grasp as
tender as that of its mother, carried ID

into kindling wool. An engine was
taken up, carried over a mile aud de-
posted In creek and in one instance
a horse 8 borne from its stable and
dumped upon the second story OF a
house. Iany houses we're turned right
about face, and stoves were lifted until
they landed on the upper floors of
houses. The old court house, a solid
two-story stone structure, was COM
pletely demolished and reduced to
gravel and splinters with the ex-
ception of one little frame office
that q pair of donkeys could drag from
its foundation, which was left standing
intact by the side of the ruins of the
old court house. Several plank side
walks were carried into the country for
miles. In numerous instances the tops
OF trees were cut off as square as
though they had been operated upon by
a gigantic saw, and pieces of timber
were shot through houses like arrows
through glass window. In one case n
piece of lumber passed through a wall
between a man and wife who we're each
reading. bat they escaped uninjured.
The property loss TO Wellington
amounts to between $500, 900 and $500, :
900. At least $50 houses were totally
destroyed and as many more partially
injured.
Destruction at Harper.
From Wellington the cyclone swept
toward the small village of Crystal
Springs, which IL demolished. and thence
to Harper, a distance OF twelve miles
1t strewed this entire course with the
debris of barns and houses, and with
the bodies of stock. Several lives were
also sacrificed. Harper stood directly in
the course of the merciless storm, and
felt It's full force. OF the 900 houses OF
the city only six escaped uninjured.

In the "reminiscences Of Mr.. G. w.

what seemed at the time pretty
severe ill-turn which overlook him
suddenly in Florence.

after supper, when l observed that
the pendent lamp-tweezers and ex-
tinguisher were vibrating. Presently
/ got sleepy, and then all at once my
chair was drawn from under me. L
held fast to the table, and thinking a
trick had been played on me, L called
out, ''Boxall, that's not fair" but no
one was in the room.

struggled TO bed without undressing.
In the morning l was quite well, and

prevent their falling into the street.
