News from Arkansas State Insane
asylum confirms the rumor in re-
gard to the damage by the cyclone
last night at that institution and
proves it to have been fully as bad
as first reported. All the male
department and annex was raZed
to the ground, four floors falling in
mass of ruins. DR.. Ingate, for
merly of Mobile, Ala, and two pa
tients were instantly killed while
other patients were seriously in
jured, it is thought fatally. The
destruction in the residence por-
ton in the vicinity Of the peniten-
tiary is very great. State Senator
Vests daughter, who lives in that
vicinity, was injured by a falling
roof. The house was blown down
and everything destroyed. The
other occupants escaped serious in
jury. Engineer Eggleston's house,
in the same neigh borhoOd, was un-
rooted; old man Tom Warren's
house was demolished, and two
story tenement, on West Third
street, near the penitentiary, was
almost demolished Pete English's
two-story house was demolished

oldest buildings in the city, located
on Markham and Broadway, was

unroofed boarding house, at Sec.
ond and Broadway, was blown
down, but no one injured; the
Presbyterian church, at Fourth and
State street, was unroofed; Abe
Tennheimer's residence was demol-
| ished.
The damage to residence prop
| erty in the west end will exceed
$4,000. The name Of the convict
killed at the penitentiary is Griffin.
Guards Smith and White were bad
ly injured and seven trusty prison
| ers seriously hurt. The property
loss to the state penitentiary is
$4,000. The list OF casualties, as

as follows:

been accounted for.
The bell over the Torrent engine
house, a mammoth casting, weigh
ing seven hundred pounds, fell in
to the street and the engine house
was demolished. The damage done
to property in the city will probab-
ly reach $l,O0O,O00. The worst eff
fects of the storm are to be seen at
the asylum of the insane, located
three miles west of the city. The
entire south half of the main build
ing was demolished by the storm.
1t is four stories in height and COM
prises six male wards, occupied by
$50 inmates. Superintendent Rob-
ertson and family occupied rooms
near the main entrance. The floor
fell with terrible effect, burying
DR.. Jacob Ingate in the ruins.
Mrs. Robertson escaped with slight
injuries, having just left the room
as the floor fell. All but twenty of
the inmates have been discovered.
Many have been found down town
and placed in Jail, and some are
buried In the ruins, it is believed.
The terror of fire, which a winter
season would have involved, was
wanting. DIR. Ingates' remains
will probably not be recovered I'M
til tomorrow evening, as they are
buried under heavy mass of NOR
tar and timbers. The loss to the
ASYLUM will reach $4,000. A
frame cottage, on Fourth and Bish-
CD street, occupied by Mrs. Sarah
Lynch and daughter, was blown
down. Mrs. Lynch was crushed
beneath the falling timbers and
her head was frightfully bruised.
She is not expected to live. Miss
HinclzIe had her hin broken, and
