ished houses are able to tell just low
the storm burst upon them and only
in one or two instances were parties
able to get out of its deadly path.
Mrs. j. p. King and two children are
seriously injured. Philips Nichols. col
ored, painfully hurt about the head;
Mrs. John Irvine and four children, all
more or less injured w. S. Boutwick,

family were all killed, is badly hurt
about the head; Hester and Mamie
Nicholson, colored, of the family of
which six were killed, are seriously

and four children, badly hurt.

broken.
Miss Eva Pierce, daughter of d. l..
Pierce, left leg and right arm broken.
A. Wright Clark painfully hurt.
The number of missing is large and
includes a great many children and ii
is probable that a number of them are
dead. 1t is very conservative esti-
mate that the list of fatalities viii
reach so, while the injured will reach
100 At least so houses are wrecked.
Most of them are small cottages except
in Fairview and Washington avenues,
where the handsome residences of l..
F. Ely, Capt. ]. ID. Saller. Mrs. Pat
Mattingly and James Falls also sue
cumbed. The loss will reach at least
$3.50 900, and but little IL any of il was
covered by cyclone insurance. The
physicians and druggists responded
promptly to the call for succor and
drugs, and everything needed came
spontaneously. Hundreds of ladies re-
sponded to the call of humanity, and
with a score of physicians were soon at
work. Color and caste disappeared i'm
the supreme moment of voe and desc
lation. Every moment brings more vic
tins. The victims are horribly man
gled. John Ames and wife and two
cnlluFen are uedu, anu O-year-Olu DOy
fatally injured. T. w. Jenkins, daugh-
ter and wife, are dead.
A public meeting raised So, 900 for the
immediate relief of the sufferers and
the permanent relief committee. Re-
ports are that the storm killed many
persons in the country west of Howe.
The following are additional deaths re-
ported up to l a. M:
Jim English, colored.
John Taylor, white.
Kate King, colored.
The unknown woman at the morgue
was identified as Mrs. /. L. Burles. An
other infant of the aBllinger family has
been found dead. Charles Weddle of
Fairview is dead, with a piece of tim
ber driven through his body. The fam
lily of John Hamilton have been discov-
cred all badly injured. Two girls, aged
Is and 8, were fatally injured, and an
other girl aged IL, injured internally.
1t is impossible to get a correct list of
all the missing. 1t Is safe to assume
that at least one-quarter of the num-
Der of injured will die in the next "a
hours.
At Carpenters Bluff II is reported six
persons were hurt, five seriously.
