STORY OF AN EYE WITNESS.
Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 3-Charles Jo-
seph, a railroad man of Memphis, was in
Little Rock last night during the cyclone.
Il was standing on the corner of Main
and Third streets" said he, about 1:30
O'Clock when l heard an awful noise and
roaring. II was unlike any ordinary
sound. In a moment there was burst of
wind and ran across the street into a
stairway. Like lightning the storm burst
in all its fury. The rear of the building
in which stood was torn away. Across
| the street l saw a telegraph pole
torn to pieces. A horse and buggy
stood near the sidewalk They
were blown across the pavement and
slammed against the side of wall Main
! street, from Third to Markham, was torn
to pieces and filed with debris On Mark
ham street opposite the state building
several houses were unroofed. Down
Markham street east the wind tore off
roofs OF houses and tore down many others
as far as Rock street, distance of half a
mile. This is the heart of the business
portion of Little Rock. Between Mark
ham and the river from State street as
far east as Little Rock and Fort Smith
depot great damage was done, mum Der
of buildings being torn down Out Third
street west from Main the wind did great
damage, unroofng many residences and
tearing down others.
TORRENTS OF RAIN.
after two minutes the wind ceased
and then the rain fell in torrents.
walked out into the street and moved up
toward Markham street All of the cleo
| trio light wires were blown down ana the
city was in darkness. Around the Western
Union telegraph Office every building was
wrecked Markham street from the
Allis block to Rock street, was filled with
| torn timbers, fallen walls, broken glass
and other material. The whole city was
| in confusion and every one seemed to
have lost his head. AT 10 o'clock |
| crossed the river into Argenta and the
residents of that town knew nothing of
the cyclone. When l left all was still
confusion. "
TIE BLOW AT MEMPHIS.
Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 3.-The tail of
the cyclone that struck Little Rock
passed over Memphis at 10 O'Clock last
night, but there was no damage. There
are no reports of damage from the sur
rounding country, although the force Of
the wind was unprecedented.
In Eastern Arkansas it is probable that
more or less damage resulted, as the tele-
graph lines are all down between this
city and Little Rock, showing that the
gale was of a destructive nature through
out the eastern part of the state.
