A Score of People Reported to
 Be Killed In Louisiana.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE AT MOBILE.

In Point a Ia Hache Not n Building Es-
 Story of Devastation Caused by Wind
 and Water Ia the South.
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3.-A terrific storm struck New Orleans, coming from the northeast, and ragged here all night and part of the day, sweeping to the south from here along the line of the Mississippi river, through the parish of Plaquemine to the gulf
 The storm was one of the worst which ever visited this part of the country, and as far as can be learned 24 or more persons were killed and probably three times as many wounded, some of them fatally.
 Three deaths and one person wounded severely, if not fatally, is the mortality record in New Orleans. Below the city it was far worse, especially in Plaquemine. Here the wind reached a velocity of 100 to l25 miles an hour, sweeping everything be fore it. The parish seat of justice, Pointe Ia Hache, town of l2,0OO people, was the worst sufferer In that town not a single house escaped injury. Four grown people are known to be killed in Point a la Hache and several children.
 Among the killed are Mrs. Leon In Franche, wife of one of the leading mer- chants of the town, and Mrs E. Lcvanders, wife of we'll known lawyer It is probable that the mortality will be greatly increased when news is received from faraway settle ments on the gulf coast below Point Ia Hache, in the orange country of Louisiana It is said that there is not an orange left on the trees and it is the same all the way down the coast. Algiers ferry landing was blown away. The coal fleet was scattered, and the tugs were engaged all night res CuinG the barges.
