Chase City's storm Experience
Damage to Warehouses.

Damage to Warehouses.
CHASE CITY, VA, February 20.-(Spe-
ial.)-The wind-storm that prevailed here
a greater portion of yesterday was APP
palling. There was one continuous terri
hc blow. shaking big houses. scattering
limbs of trees, and overturning some
small buildings.
The only material damage was 10 the
large four-story framed tobacco-factory
and prize-house Of 7. r. Roberts e. Co.
This was made 10 tit from four to five
inches from perpendicular IL will be a
heavy job to restore II to its right posi-
ton. There was over 10000 pounds OF
leaf tobacco in the building. which, by
it's weight, kept il from going entirely
over Fortunately, Mr.. Roberts had a tor
nado policy for 1880. In the Home In
surance Company, Of New York, which
will secure him against loss.
BLOWN DOWN.
A portion OF one side OF the Banner
warehouse was blown down, but the dam
age was NOT great. and IL can be easily
replaced. This building belongs to a Rich
mond firm, and there was no storm-policy
on II.
Numerous tornado policies have been
carried here, but this Is the first time
any loss has ever occurred.
A PERILOUS PREDICAMENT.
DR. II. L. Burwell. OF this place. says
that while the storm was raging fierces1
he was riding through the woods. where
there were many dead trees. caused by
a forest-ire several years ago. and the
flying limbs. crashing trees and terrific
wind placed him in a perilous predica,
ment. but he and the horse. after con,
siderable fright, escaped unhurt. The
storm abated about shutdown.
