occasioned rumors outside that Lin
coin had been destroyed. The wind
blew eighty folr miles an hour and
the rain fell in torrents. The streets
were well occupied with humanity

injured As it was, one or two mar
row escapes irom death were report

loss in this respect is almost incalcu-
liable. Trees were broken of close to
the ground in many instances, and
almost denuded of branches in othors.
Many buildings were unrooled and
sidewalks torn up.

June 6, 1892, it passed under sus-
