The Steamboat Republic said
to Have been Capsized
and Six Hundred Chill
dren Drowned.
EA0S BRIDGE DAMAGED,
1t is also Rumored that the Ap-
proaches to Eads Bridge Were
Blown Away,

Yesterday after night fall news
came to this city that a fearful
storm was prevailing at st. Louis
and before particulars could be re-
ceived communication was inter
rupted, and nothing but fragmen-
tory reports can be gathered from
the telegraph office here.
Dallas, Texas, wires that they are
cut off from communication with
st. Louis, and Little Rock wires our
operators the same.
All news coming out of st. Louis
must be sent out of the city by run
ners and then telegraphed from
points remote and it is this fact
that keeps us from learning the
true facts as to the great damage
done to st. Louis by this visitation
of the wind.
Rumor has it that the storm
struck st. Louis at Carondelet; that
its width took in End and 3rd street
and fourth street and Travelled
toward the Eads bridge.
1t is said that the Liggett q
Meyers tobacco factory was de-
stroyed and twenty hands lost their
lives there.
1t is also given out, that the de-
molishing wind, of the big hos
pital, sixty odd patients were killed.
The most horrible part is to be
told yet. The steamboat Republic,
laden with children returning from
a river excursion was capsized and
all on board drowned.
The large establishment of the
Wooden Gutter Co., and other
large buildings, are reported in the
ruins.
Estimates as to the loss of life
vary, from one to three thousand.
The reporter visited the Western
Union Telegraph Office and also the
Iron Mountain, at l;2O p. m. but
could get no particulars as the line
was down and st. Louis was cut off
from all telegraphic communication.
The operator at the Iron Noun
tain said that a train for this place
left St. Louis this morning at Z
o'clock and it would arrive here in
the morning at 7, and it was ex-
pected to bring st. Louis papers
giving the particulars as far as
they could get them up to the time
of going to press.

The wheelmen are now discussing
the size or width of their path.
Those who can ride good and are
classed as "scorchers" want the
path II inches wide, while those who
are classed as only tolerable riders,
want the path built Is inches wide,
while all new beginners swear that
the track must be as wide as the
street car track, that is, they want
all of the inside of the street car
track blocked in with plank. They
meet on Monday night to agree on
some plan and where the path
shall be built, 1t is safe to say
that they will lay the path on the
inside of the rails of the street car
track if they can get permission
from Manager Whitley.
