WHEELING. VIVA FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 29 1896

Gated with. And even when the alarm
was given, the fire apparatus had to
pick its way through the binding rain,
among meshes of tangled live wires to
the scene of the blaze. In many in
stances the engines were brought in
roundabout way only to find the water
plugs useless when the fire was reach
ed. The rain helped materially TO
quench the fires, and at midnight all
the fires which broke out early in the
evening were reported out or under con-
troll. Firemen patrolled the city with
lanterns all night.
Laid out on improvised slabs compos-
ed of coffin boxes at the morgue this
morning were more than 20 begrimed
and mud-stained bodies. Coroner
Waite remained in charge during the
night and he had a corps of extra as
sistants who were sorely taxed TO hnd
accommodations for the bodies. One
of the sad scenes was when the wagon
brought in father ard his two small
sons. Crowds besieged the ghastly
piles locking for loved ones.
The greatest damage was done be-
tween Russell avenue, on The south and
Choteau avenue and Pappin street on
the north. Within that territory from
the western city limits to the river the
wreck is beyond estimate and the loss
of life cannot be estimated. The most
wholesale slaughter was az Seventh and
Rutger streets, where thirteen persons
were crushed to death in the Mocken-
heimer saloon and boarding house.
Many others were known to be buried
in adjacent houses in Rutger street.
The ruin was so complete that police
volunteers did nc. know where to be-
gin the work of clearing away the de-

SAVED THE TRAIN.
A Thrilling Experience on the Big Bridge
While the Storm Was at IFS Height

While the Storm Was at Its Height.
st. Louis May 2S.-While the storm
was at its height the passenger train
on the Chicago and Alton pulled out on
the bridge from the Missouri side. En-
gineer Scott realized the awful dan
ger which threatened the train. The
wind struck the coaches, at first caus-
ing them to careen. AT that time he
was about half way across. Over head
the poles were swapping and tumbling
into the river while large stones were
shifting loose from their foundations
and plunging into the water. Scott,
with rare presence OF mind put on
full head OF steam. The train had
scarcely proceeded 200 feet when an
upper span was blown away. Tons of
huge granite blocks tumbled to the
tracks where the train had been a mo-
ment before. The same instant the
wind struck the train. upsetting all the
cars like playthings. No one was kill
ed. but several were taken out severe
" injured. The wrecked part OF the
bridge is just east of the big tower,
near the Illinois shore, and extends
east for about 300 feet The entire up
per portion, traversed by street cars
and carriages, is carried away, while
the tracks beneath are buried in the
debris, in some places eight feet deep.

THE WEATHER BUREAU
Gives Its Views OF Causes and Paths of
Big storms.

Washington. May 2S.-Weather Bu-
reau officials say the st. Louis tornado
was the most fatally destructive in the
history of the Office. This Official
statement was made at the bureau to-
day:
"These tornadoes usually follow the
path of general storm conditions that
move slowly from the west to the east.
At this time of the year these storms
are quite frequent and the cyclonic con-
ditions may be produced at any moment
while such disturbance is passing over
the country. During April and May
the cyclone area is subject to visitations
of this character at almost any hour.
1t is noticeable in each OF the four
big cases of this kind that have occurred
during the past few days the storms
have broken in their intensity in the late
afternoon or evening. While the
Michigan cyclone was doing its damage
a storm formed on the southwestern
edge of the storm country and began
passing over Missouri. After the CEN
ter had gone by st. Louis the severe

winds from the northwest met those
from the southeast at the southern
quadrant OF the low and storm result
ed. AS to the great heat of ST. Louis
being factor in attracting violent con-
ditions, the difference caused in the
general atmosphere by the artificial heat
of a great city is of the very smallest
moment when these gigantic riots
of the elements occur.

Quincy, Ills, May 2S.-During the

pie were terrified by columns of burn
ing gas leaping high in the air. The
tank was nearly full at the time, and
the force Of the wind caught it and
turned 1t over as the immense columns
which supported the tank fell. The gas
was ignited and burned for few mo-
ments at a fearful rate.

ST. Louis, May 2S.-The poor house,
at the extreme southeast limit Of the
city, suffered severely. The entire
roof was torn off, Eight inmates re-
ceiyed wounds from flying glass and
bricks, but their injuries are not dan
gerous. The dead house was complete

swept away with the, wind. Incredible

building, $50 of whom are insane. not a
life was lost. The insane patients gave
great trouble, filled the building with
their shrieks and cries. After the
storm they were quieted down.

st. Louis, May 2S.-The immunity
from loss of life and injury to employees
in the Iron Mountain railroad yards

contents of lumber yards in the neigh

like hail. In some cases switch tar
gets were broken off by the flying tim
bers. Planks were driven into the
