NEW BUILDINGS UNFRAMED.
Observations Of the Cyclones Destructive
Work In Sc. Louis.

Observasions or the Cyclone's Obstructive
work In St Louis.
The destruction of buildings in 81.
Louis was confined almost altogether
to those built many years ago. In the
business district and along the levee
every brick building demolished had
been built a great many years ago.
An examination Of the bricks and NOR
tar that had been thrown into the
streets showed that the first was soft
and the latter had little adhesivencss
and crumbled between the fingers with
very little pressure. On Second street.
devoted to the commission and kindred
trades, were several brick buildings
with the fronts or corners torn out
and the roofs gone, while beside them
in the street were modern, well-con-
structed buildings. much larger and
Offering more resistance to the wind,
which escaped with only such injuries
as broken windows, caused by the flying
bricks from old buildings. In the heart
of the retail business and hotel dis
trict, where the Planters' and Southern
hotels and the new and fine modern
Office and business buildings are, the
damage was confined to plate glass
windows, shattered by flying debris,
and to telephone and telegraph wires,
and signs and windows. A man vino
was in the tenth story Of . large build
ing when the storm struck it, felt the
shock Of the wind, but the building
stood like . rock against it, while two
blocks away, old buildings, erected
when less care was given to construc-
tion. were being torn to pieces, their
brick fronts hurled into the streets and
their roofs through the air. In some
cases the sheet-iron roofs of fine, new
business buildings were injured by
the wind catching at the corner Of q
cornice and getting under the iron and
ripping it of in rolls. In Lafayette
park the statue Of Benton stood un.
harmed, surrounded by broken and up.
rooted trees and the wrecks Of flimsy
pagodas and boathouses.
In the Mill Greek Valley. a fashion
able portion of South st. Louis, where
nearly every residence was damaged,
the houses were Of the ante-bellum type,
with heavy stone porticos supported
by Corinthian columns. Many Of them
were 30 old that the cracks showed
under several coats Of paint. with which
they had been covered. The newer
houses were unroofed in many in.
stances, but the walls are standing
The old houses went down before tine
wind As they would fall before any
other heavy shock.
A striking instance Of the solidity o1
new structures was seen At the shot

Captain Swain spoke Of the frsr
trainload Of wounded that arrived at
White House Landing after the bat,le
of Seven Pines, which the Confeder.
ates called Fair Oaks. Being off duty.
Captain Swain offered his services. 4
woman was in charge Of those hundreds
of wounded men-Miss Dorothy Dix.
He represented her as energetic and
capable as a good general. "She gave
us volunteers orders right and left.
and in the most systematic, business
like manner"
l wish some one would write a truo
history of the women who went to tho
front. to the battlefields, and labored
in hospitals. prayed for the dying. wrote
letters for the wounded. and cared foY
them as tenderly as their own dear
mes could have done, and in most in.
stances more intelligently than they
could have done. In this list would
appear a bright page devoted to tho
wonderful deeds performed by Dorothy
Dix.
Il think of a laughable occurrence
at White House Landing when the
place was evacuated. Thousands Of
rifles had been gathered from battle,
fields and put in a pile. the muZzles
pointing in all directions. When or
ders to move came we had to act quick
ly. for Jeb Stuart's cavalry was ap-
preaching. We had to burn buildings
and property. When the flames reach

bullets flew in all directions. and $,
did the darkies and other nOn-combar-
ants. Most Of the muskets were load.

Gen. Jeb Stuart reached the Lanu.
ing soon after we left it. In his report
to Gen. Lee he said: My command was
nearly out Of rations and the horses
without forage. l had relied on the en-
envy at the White House to supply rs,
and l was not disappointed, in spite Of
their efforts to destroy everything. Pro-
visions and delicacies Of every descrlp'
ton lay in heaps, and the men RECALLED
themselves on the fruits of the tropics
as we'll as the substantials of tho
land"
Property and rations worth millions
were burned because of the disastrous
retreat, a retreat which would not have
occurred had a Grant, Sherman or
Sheridan commanded the army OF the
Potomac at that time.-J. y. WatroNt
