and test engine and car passed over in safety.
 In addition to the injured in the two school houses there are ninety-four maimed women, children and men in St. Mary's hospital. Women and girls from the farms of the surrounding country poured into the city in droves this after noon and evening with bundles of old linen, clothing and other necessaries and proffered their services as nurses. The good Safna nit were badly needed by the hospital people and city authorities, and nearly every victim in the public or extemporized hospitals has an individual attendant tonight.
 The track of the storm acrossNhe river was practically the same as that Of the great stom of August 4, 1S7S The trend of the, main volume of wind was from southwest to northwest, leaving the Mis- souri shore at the center of the southern half or this city and striking the Illinois shore in a path whose northern edge was the Eads bridge, and extending south three-quarters of mile. Within this path were moored twenty-five steamers, large and small The storm fell so sud- denly that none of the vessels was pre- pared. In all ten large passenger steam CTS, five ferry boats, two transfer boats, two tug boats and half a dozen small pleasure barges were driven to the oppo- site shore or sunk outright.
 The steamer J, J. Odill was 1oosened from it's moorings and blown against the second pier of the Eads bridge, where it sank. Just before the boat struck her boilers blew up. Nine of her crew of twelve, besides three women passengers and her captain, George Townsend, are reported missing.
