STORY OF THE AWFUL DISASTER.

Occurs ct . Feast Spread for Half . Million
Subjects of the Car.
The terrible disaster occurred on the oc-
casion of an intended feast of most re-
markable character. On the plain Of
khodijnskoje tables and benches had been
erected capable 81 seating 10000 people.
To this free feast the people were invited,
and they came-almost by millions. By
dawn of Saturday it is stated that there
were fully 1,OoO.OOOO people on the plain
A stampede took place among these and
the stampede proved almost as fatal asa
battle with modern weapons would have
been.
Various versions as to the origin of the
stampede and frightful crush are cur
rent, but the account to which the most
credcnce is attached is that the wagons
laden with 5OO,OOO souvenirs which were to
be distributed among the people were pro-
cce,iing to the Khodijnskoje plain, fol-
lowed by n multitude of eager peasants,
when the attendants, with n view of pleas
ing the people, threw a number of souve-
Mrs among the crowd. There was wild
scramble towards the point where they
fell. and the news spread like wildfire up
and down the throngs Of expcctant peas
ants that the distribution had commenced
This resulted in headlong, pell-meli rush
for the booths where the distribution Of
souvenirs was to have been made.
The arrangements which it was in
tended to make to keep the crowds in
order during the distribution had not
been completed at that early hour, and
the force on hand was powerless to stem
tic tide Of the crush of humanity. What
added greatly to the gravity Of the disas-
ter was the circumstance that these booths
were surrounded by bitches. The fore
most persons in the oncoming crowd fell
PROSTATE in these bitches, and the people
following speedily trampled them to
death. Others stumbled over their bodies
and met the same fate. And so the horror
grew. The pressure was SO great upon
the sides Of the booths from the struggles
Of the mass Of mad humanity that they
gave way and hundreds Of people were
forced into them through the broken
wills
One mounted gcnd'arme near the
booths was literally crushed to death,
together with his rearing and plunging
horse. There were no English people, nor
Americans among the victims, nearly all
q whom are peasantsL The GEAR and car

SMELLS THE LIST OF DEAD.
News from the Havoc Wrought BY the
Storm In Illinoix.

News from the Havoc Wrought by the
Storm In Illinois.
CARLYLE, June Additional reports
received here of the havoc wrought by the
terrible cyclone "Wednesday evening con-
tinue to swell the list Of dead and injured.
The number Of deaths is appalling and
eclipses any disaster that ever bcfell this
vicinity. Richview, on the Illinois Gen.
tral, escaped with small injury in compare
son with neighbOring towns northwest.
The full extent Of the loss of property cam
no: be asccrtained for weeks to come.
The tornado was also visitor in the Vi
cinity of Ashley, three miles south of
Richview, and demolished houses, harms
and orchards The farm house of Will
liam Howard, three miles southeast, was
blown away. Oakville, eighteen miles
south Of Carlyle, was visited by torrents
of rain and wind that twisted and matted
together large trees. The destruction Of
the residences of John. Maxeiners and
John Ruckle is the only damage.
The main part OF the storm passed south
of Oakville. where the route Of the wind il
marked by twisted trees and broken
fences. Emma Krause, aged 10, is dead.
Her parents were killed. This makes the
total number of dead fifteen. The storm
came from the northwest at New Baden
and went southeast toward Mascoutah.
At New Minden it assumed a south
easterly course and destroyed that place,
but skipped HoyltOn. The value of prop
crty destroyed ut New Baden, New Min
den, Richvicw, Ashley and Oakville and
vicinity is said to exceed $2OO,OOO. The
killed in this vicinity are: Robert Foster,
Mrs Cornell and infant, farm hand (name
unknown), and Samuel Oliver.

Says 1t Will Take Million to Relieve the
Destitution-New Death Estimate.
Police Commissioner John A. Lee is not
one Of thsse who estimate the damage of
the storm as hght-who think that st.
Louis is amply able to relieve the distress
unaided. Lee has gone carefully over the
tornado-wrecksd districts with Chief of
Police Harrigan and examined the condi-
tons closely and intelligently, and says
it will take 81 100000 to relieve the desti-
tuition and that ''St. Louis needs all the
aid she can gct''
In the opinion of Mayor Bader, Of East
st. Louis, the total loss Of property in the
city will not exceed e, 100000. A schedule
Of the losses to the railroads in East st.
Louis has been given out and foots up
taO.0m The following dead were recov-
cred from the st. Louis ruins Of the storm
yesterday: Adolph Anschel, Mrs. Ellen
Hennessy and John Kelly.
Although four days have come and gone
since the tornado the labor of the city off,
cials in clearing away the debris il scarce
ly perceptible. The question whether the
ruins contain any human bodies is an I'M
solved problem, but in some localities .
foul stencil arises from the debris. 1t was
positively asserted by some that fifty or
more patients were caught in the ruins Of
the city hospital, but a systematic exami-
nation OF one portion of the ruins reveals
no trace of q corpse.

SITUATION IN THE MOUND CITY.
Thousands of People Go to View the Ruiz
and Inquire for Friends.

Thousands of People Go to View the Ruins
and Inquire for Friends.
ST. LOUIS, June livery railroad en-
tering this storm stricken city ran ex-
cursion trains yesterday. They brought
scores Of thousands of people to view the
devastation and ruin wrought by the awful
storm of Wednesday. The streets of the
ruined district ware thrOnged with visi-
tors all day. They came from almost
every town and city within radius OF
300 miles and nearly all day a cold driz-
cling rain fell.
Superintendent MACK, of the morgue, had
trying time in answering questions in
regard to the bodies and taking names
and descriptions of persons who have not
been seen by their friends since before the
storm. There were people there from
points in all directions, far and near; Chi
cago, Cincinnati, Louisville indianapolis,
Kansas City and a thousand smaller places
were represented From each town came
anxious people inquiring for lost friends.
The Post Dispatch prints a statement
which very materially modif1es all pre-
vious statements of the aggregate loss by
the hurricane of Wednesday. The article
says: mo estimate of the financial loss
sustained by this city from the storm ap-
preaching the correct figure nearer than
several millions can be prepared for at least
a week, but it is already evident that rep
reservations of loss equaling and some
times exceeding $5O,OO0,0OO are as I'M
founded upon facts as the reports circu-
lated by many foreign papers that the
loss of life would reach thousands.
1.-The judgment and advice of promi-
nent citizents with both knowledge and
experience in such matters have been
sought and obtained with the result that
the enormous total heretofore set up has
been scaled down to a more probable ag-
gregate. Very careful consideration Of
facts and figures justifices the assertion
that $S,OOO,OO0 is nearer the proper
amount"
The Post Dispatch then gives list of
the heaviest losers, which foots up a total
of 8, 70O, 900, and says: "This table aggre-
gates less than s4.OOO, coo. a total quite
large enough, but almost insignificant
when compared with the fabulous esti-
mates. To this, however, must be added
the damage done to residence property
throughout the city. Viewing the situa-
ton in this light, it will be seen that slO,-
600, 600 should be ample to cover the actual
damage. This estimate has not included
the loss and damage of furniture"

ANOTHER HORROR IN MISSOURI
Flood OF Water Sweeps Seneca and browns
Eighteen Persons.

Flood Of Water Sweeps Seneca and browns
Eighteen Persons.
KANSAS CITY, June LA special to the
Times from Neosho, Mo-, says: Two
sloudbursts occurred in this county at an
,arly hour a Saturday morning, one at
this place and the other at Seneca. One
life was lost here and, it is believed, eight
cen at Seneca. Sylvester Wood, Of Nc
osho, was drowned by the overturning Of
boat while being taken from the flooded
district. OF the eighteen believed to be
Head at Seneca fourteen have been taken
from the water. The scenes in and about
Seneca present a picture of desolation.
Cherokee avenue, Seneca's principal bust
ness street, is divided in two sections by
the loss of the iron bridge which spanned
Lost creek. Hundreds of citizens in
searching parties are constantly beating
either side Of the stream in search of miss
ing citizens, who are evidently drowned.
The dead are: Henry Andre, age go;
Ida Andre, 50; Leo Andre. 20; Andre, 10;
Mary Andre. 12; Mrs. White. wife of Rev.
Harry White; Willie Doebler, aged 5;
Archie Williams, 9; Mrs. Robinson and
baby; Carl Smith. wife and five children;
miles east, a man named Reynolds was
drowned
The streets present a scene of darkest
gloom. Searchers are returning frequent
ly with the bodies of the unfortunate vic
Tins, and collins hurrying here and there
to receive the dead. Any aid contributed
to Seneca in her dark hour of distress, ad-
dressed to James McGannOn (mayor),
will be most thankfully received and
properly expended. The storm which pre-
cipitated the awful flood from which Sem
eca has so severely suffered spent its fury
at point about ten or twelve miles east
of here. The waters came down in a
mighty wave, precipitating rise of Lost
creek fully five feet higher than any re-
cent high water mark on this stream.
Every merchant on Cherokee avenue,
which embraced fully nine-tenths of the
business interests of the town, has suf-
fered more or less direct loss to stock
The losses and damage to stock in stores
alone is fully go, 900, while the total loss,
including the inundated residence district
and loss of buildings, brings the total
above $4,000 at a very conservative esti-
mate.
