RUIN AND DISASTER.
-Four Hundred and Fifty Killed In St.
Louis and East St. Louis.
Tho Number Injured will Run up Into
tho Hundreds-The Damage to Prop
erty will Amount to Millions
East St, Louis \ Wreck.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2s.-Whcn dark
hess temporarily interrupted the search
for storm victims tonight Sl5 people
were known to be dead on both sides Of
the river, and although the complete
death list will never be known, it is be-
lieved that it will approximate 400 in
the two cities. The number of the in
jured is even larger, and many OF the
manned cannot survive.
The property loss will reach well into
the millions, but insurance people, hre-
men and police alike refuse to hazard
even guess at accurate figures.
The uncertainty regarding loss OF life
and property is due mainly to the wide
extent of the havoc wrought by the
storm. The miles of wrecked buildings
as yet unexplored and the numerous
collapsed factories, towards the inves'
tigation of which little progress has
been made, may hide almost any num-
bcr OF bodies, as the police have been
unable to secure anything like an acu'
rate list of the missing.
The list at o'clock tonight OF known
dead in st. Louis is lG9 and in East ST.
Louis ii0. The exact number Will not
be known for many days, and perhaps
never, for the debris OF ruined build
ings all over the city cover hundreds OF
human beings.
The path Of the storm is about half
a mile wide and over four miles long,
sweeping through the thickly populated
southwestern portion of Eastland and
across the river into East st. Louis
1t wrought such havoc as will long
leave traces in that part of the city
which lies east Of seventh street and
north OF Cerrc street to the Eads bridge
Eve witnesses who were near the
river declare that the cloud seemed to
divide and then come together and as
it came across the river looked like an
| immense waterspout. The path was
very wide, embracing almost the entire
levcc. The upper portion OF the bridge
from Immediately on the east side OF
the river for distance of about 60 feet
was completely torn away, the great
iron girders being twisted like strings
and massive masonry torn away and
hurled to the tracks beneath, On the
bridge just as the storm struck it was a
Chicago and Alton passenger tram
This was turned completely over, as
were also three trolley cars in the upper
portions of the bridge. All of the pas
,engers were badly shaken up but none
were seriously injured,
The immunity from loss and injury
to employees in the Iron Mountain rail-
road Yards is little short of marvellous.
The contents OF lumber yards in the
neighborhood were strewn all over the
ward like hail In some cases switch
targets were broken off by the flying
timbers. Planks were driven into the
earth and broken off, Freight ears
were demolished and merchandise
scattered in all directions,
