escape the city had. With four distinct
storms, the wind blowing sixty miles an
hour, and rainfall Of two inches within
two hours, the weather bureau men say
the city was fortunate In escaping win
only property damages. The storms un-
rooted hundreds of buildings that were
occupied, but all the buildings demolished
were either old structures, barns and
sheds, or buildings in process of construc-
ton. Some congregations held services
in new locations yesterday owing TO dam
ages TO their churches, but the general
opinion expressed everywhere was that
of thankfulness that the situation here
and elsewhere in Southern Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky was no worse.
The only death reported was that OF
Charles Boune, who picked up telegraph
wire that had blown into his yard on the
Carthage road. The wire crossed a trolley
that was also blown down. John Ham

wire and was unable TO release himself.
His condition is still doubtful. Among
the others who are prostrated from light

The lightning struck hundreds of places
in and about the city. Hundreds ex-
perienced severe shocks who were not
prostrated. Quite number of horses were
killed in stables that were struck by light

the suburbs of Madisonville Oakley, Nor
wood, Hyde Park, Clifton and Morning
ton suffered most. Numerous houses in
process of construction in these suburbs
were blown down, and many houses
which are occupied were damaged. There
was also much damage done in Kentucky
