LITTLE Rock, Oct. S.-A terrible cyclone
struck this city at 7:30 o'clock last even
ing, and almost devastated the business
portion of the city. Several people are
known to have been killed and injured,
while it is feared that scores of others have
met the same horrible fate. The main
portion of the business center, bounded on
the south by Third street, on the north by
River Front, on the west by Center street,
and on the east by Commerce street, is
practically in ruins and the amount of
damage is incalculabe. The total prop
erty loss will probably approximate $780,

Rain Floods the Unroofed Stores.
The cyclone was accompanied by a ter
rifle rain, and the stocks of goods in those
business houses which were unroofed,
though not otherwise wrecked, were de-
stroyed by water. The storm struck the
state penitcntiary, which stands on hill
in the western part of the city, with fear
full force, destroying the dining room, tear
ing down the stable and shops, unroofing
the main cell building and dcmolishing
the warden's office. Several convicts Were
seriously injured, one of whom died an
hour aftcrward.
Lightning Adds Its Terrors to the Havoc.
Down town the lightning struck the
Martin block, corner of Spring and Second
streets, totally wrecbing the third floor
A man by the name of Eaton was fatally
injured there. The Titles building, corner
Of Centre and Markham streets, was un-
rooted and n part of the fourth floor of
Glcason's hotel was blown away. At
Main and second streets the tops of several
adjacent buildings lie piled up in an in
discribable heap.
Where the Worst Damage Was Done.
The worst damage, however, was done
10 property on Markham and Commerce
streets. Nearly every building in that
district is unroofed and many are totally
wrecked. The large three story building
at Market and Cumberland, occupied by
the 3. II. Mccarthy company, is total
wreck, as is also the two-story building on
the opposite corner occupied by Max FL
kans as saloon. The third story Of the
old Deming House was blown of and the
several stores under ii were flooded by
water and filled with debris.
