m. Many buildings, stores and resi-
dences were wrecked, roofs torn off and
chimneys demolished. A number of
people had narrow escapes from death
by falling falls and flying roofs, but
outside of few bruises and broksn
limbs no one was seriously injured.
The tornado came from the west and
was evidently of a local character, as
no damage has been reported from
points outside of the city.
Roundhouse Demolished.
The heaviest sufferer from the storm is
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company. The wind struck their i'm
mense roundhonse in the western por-
tion of the city and in an instant the
heavy walls fell and the roof crashed
in, burying the men at work on the en-.
gines beneath mass of brick and iron
girders. Heavy locomotives were blown
from the rails and overturned. When
the employees found the walls falling
they rushed for the cinder pits and
cronching in the excavations
MiracuIously Escaped Death
Among the buildings damaged are Dr.
Sewers 2-story brick building at G32
Clay street. The roof was torn off and
carried across the street by the wind
1t crashed into the brick cottage of
William Johnson at G37 Clay street.
The front wall of the cottage was
knocked out and the cottage wrecked.
AT $50 Clay street the roof and south
wall of the residence of Jacob Kriziez

On the morning of the queens birthday
Beresford was riding past the giraffe inclo>
sure when feu de joie was fired by the sol.
diers of a native infantry regiment, whose
quarters are not far distant from the ZOO.
At the first round of the firing the giratfes
were startled. When the second round
came, they took to their heels and jumped
clean over the fence OF upright gurran or
waffle sticks, about 10 feet high, that sur
rounded their inclosure.
When the third round came, the giraffes
were so puzzled that they turned around
and popped over the fence again and sought
refuge in the house in which they were
lodged at night. 1t is great pity that a
sportsman and rider like Lord William Ber-
