TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.
Enormous Damage In New Orleans and
Neighboring Towns.

Enormous Damage In New Orleans and
Neighboring Towns.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "a terrific storm
struck New Orleans, coming from the
northeast, sweeping to the south from
here along the line Of the Miss issippi
river, through the parish of Plaquemine
to the gulf. The storm was one Of the
very worst which ever visited this part Of
the country, and so far as can be learned
twenty-four or more persons were killed
and probably three times as many
wounded, some OF the IN fatally. The crash
Of sheds and buildings blown down and
houses unroofed csused intense alarm,
and most OF the population of the city re-
mained up all night expecting houses TO
be blown down.
Among the buildings in the tide were
Serapapu street market, which crushed
several buildings in its fall. The Burdette
Street Mission church, the cotton yards OF
the Northeastern railroad, Coleman's
boiler shop. the Pythian hall and a mum.
Der OF other buildings were unroofed. The
Revetment levee on Lake Pontichartrain,
which protects New Orleans from over
flow on the rear, was washed away, the
water sweeping over Is feet or more.
Many OF the yachts there were sunk or
injured. The New Orleans and North
eastern had its track flooded for seven
miles, and so badly was held that 1t can
run no trains.
Three deaths and one person wounded
severely, IL not fatally, is the mortality
record in New Orleans. Below the city IL
was far worse. In Plaquemins the wind
reached velocity OF 100 to 125 miles an
hour, and sweeping everything before It,
In the parish seat OF Justice Pointt
Ia Hache, a town Of 2gOc people, not a
single house escaped injury.
Four grown people are known to be
killed in = inte la Hache and several
children. How many is not exactly
known.
IL Is probable that the mortality will bs
greatly increased when news Is received
from farasway settlements on the gull
coast below Pointe Ia Hache.
The orange crop was ripe on the trees and
about TO be harvested. 1t was completely
destroyed in the storm, with loss OF
s35O.000 or more on this one item. The
loss is very heavy Ia other crops and pro-
