Louisville, KY, Gets a Taste Of
a Hurricane-No Lives Lost
But Many Injured.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 23.-Again
the wind has worked its will upon
Louisville. Dwellings are ruined,
streets are filled with the wreckage of
roofs, broken and uprooted trees, de-
molished walls and twisted wires. No
lives are known to have been lost and
few of the injuries received are seri-
GUS. The hurricane swept down upon
the city from the southwest at 4 o'clock
this morning. 1t struck the south of
the city first, marking its destructive
force first upon the Louisville and
Nashville round-house at Tenth and
Broadway. The city suffered
little, save chimneys blown down and
trees uprooted. The full force of the
wind struck the squares bounded by
Campbell, Hancock, Broadway and
Green streets and there the principal
damage was done. When the wind
struck the city, eight workmen under
the charge of James Dadegaran night,
foreman at the Louisville and Nash
vile round house at Tenth and Broad
way, were busy at their engines. As
the wind struck the circular building.
the roof was lifted free from all
tastenings and then as a
Iull came, dropped from its
own weight squarely upon the struc-
ture. The walls stood the pressure
but the roof crashed down upon the
interior. The heavy engines were
overturned like toys but the men es-
capped. As the roof lifted the men
dived into the pits beneath the engines
and there lay safe until the storm
passed. The damage to the building
will not exceed $1,000. The damage
TO the engines will be less than half
that amount. North of Broad
way and south of Main in
the squares living between Hancock
and Campbell, many people were
awakend by the roar of the coming
storm and the frightened people gath
cred in the street and highways. They
stood for only few moments, for, rs
the storm burst, the air was filled with
flying debris and each one ran for his
life.
