RoBIsoNvILLE, MISS, April 13.-This
town was wiped from the face OF the
earth yesterday afternoon by double
visitation of wind and fire. Owing TO
the fact that the depot and telegraph
Office was wrecked and the wires blown
down for a mile, the details OF the dis
aster are meagre, but enough 10 show
that North Mississippi has been visited
by a second calamity as appalling as the
one that laid waste TO Tumica and Kel-
ly's short time ago. So far as Is known
the only white person killed was Mrs.
Emma Lusk, wife OF Il. c. Lusk, night
operator of the Illinois Central railroad,
who was in the depot when the cyclone
Struck the town.
Lourena, daughter-in-law OF Mr..
George w. Foster, was injured about
the arms, and 1t is said that twelve or
fifteen negroes were killed. The cyclone
struck the town shortly after o'clock.
The cloud that marked the approach OF
the aerial destroyer was funnel shaped
and seemed TO grow out OF the West.
YPsILANTI, MICH, April 13.-The to-
tai loss resulting from last nights storm
in this city is now thought TO be In the
neighborhood of $780, 900, which Is less
than the previous estimates. Minor
casualties, as the killing OF horses and
cattle, are frequent, but as far as can
be ascertained, no loss OF human life has
occurred and there were but few In
juries reported.

omInee was visited by terrific elec-
trIcal storm last night. Lightning

railway power house, and no cars are

MEMPHIS, TENN, April 13.-I Is
