publican National Convention. The
roof was blown off and considerable
other damage done to the building,
but large force of men will be put
on and the damage repaired in time
for the convention.
The storm was followed by heavy
rain, and as the wires and power
houses of the electric light comps-
nies in st Louis and East st. Louis
were destroyed, the cities were left
in total darkness. To. add to the
terrors Of the night fires broke out
in every direction, and little help
could be secured as the fire alarms
would not work, and when the fire.
men found the fires they could get
no water.
The loss of property by fire is es-
timated at half million dollars,
while the losses caused by the storms
will figure up many millions.
This terrible loss of life and prop
erty is the climax of the destructive
series of cyclones and other storms
which have afflicted tie Mississippi
valley states during the month of
May, and it is to be hoped that there
will now be cessation.

TERRIFIC TORNADO
Sweeps over the States of Mis-
souri, and Illinois.
FIVE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
The Cities of ST Louis, East ST Louis
and vandaiia In the Track of
Hurricane and Tornado
Property Losses Raecn
MANY Millions.


The most destructive scourge that
has struck the American continent
since the great Johnstown flood was
the storm that swept through Mis-
sour and Illinois on Wednesday af
ternoon. The storm literally wiped
out number of small towns in both
states, but the great destruction OF
both life and property occurred in the
cities of ST. Louis, East st. Louis
and yandalia-
There were two storms at ST. Louis,
the first being hurricane which did
considerable damage to buildings
and other property, but no lives were
lost. 1t lasted from ) O'Clock to
$50. 1t was followed in about half
an hour by terrible tornado, which
struck the southwestern corner of
the city, swept through it in a north
easterly direction, crossed the Mis-
sissippi river to East St Louis, and
from there on until it struck the city
of yandalia-
Through all three cities the track
of storm was marked by trail of de-
bris, where once had been large office
buildings, stores, manufactures and
residences, filed with people. The
city Jail at st. Louis was partially
destroyed and the city hospital is a
total wreck The criminals were more
fortunate than the afflicted ones, for
none Of the former were killed while
80 of the latter were. The poor honse
was also destroyed and out of 1850
inmates not one was killed.
There were an unusual number OF
steamboats, and smaller vessels We're
on the river, and these were tossed
about and turned over as easily as il
made of paper. One bridge across
the river was badly wrecked, and the
damage to wharves and shipping was
very heavy.
The total loss of life in the storm
is reported to be about 500, the loss
at st. Lonis being estimated at 200,
East St Louis furnishes 200 more,
and the balance of the storm district
is estimated to have lost about 100.
The number of those injured will
pass the thousand mark. These fig
ures are only estimates and may be
much too large or too small, for the
bodies are buried in the wrecked
buildings, and only small portion
of the debris has SO far been removed.
Among the many large buildings
that were either destroyed or dam

RAN A BLUFF.

From the Silver City Independent,
Saturday morning last about 8
o'clock J. Ragin, a man recently
employed by Hon. J N Upton
on his Sapello ranch, startled Mrs,
Metzger OF the Delmonico restau-
rant by announcing his intention
OF committing suicide, at the same
time reaching toward his pocket
and drawing razor case. Mrs.
Metzger who had just scrubbed
out her dining room objecting to
having the floor stained with bu-
man gore, snatched the case from
the hand Of the would be SELF
destroyer, but upon opening 1T no
razor was. found. BY this time
Mrs. Melzger's color began to rise,
aud opening The screen doors she
gently but firmly hustled the gen
tleman out OF doors, at the same
time advising him to go over to
the railway bridge where it WAS
cool, and there jump off as il
would be q good place and no one
would interfere with him. The
wouId-be suicide still lives, and he
has doubtless concluded to post
pone his shuilllng act until July
4tb, and make it a part OF the reg
ular celebration.
Two notes were written, both OF
which were addressed to a promi-
uent legal light Of this city. The
first read Ms follows;
Mr.. Come at once to Del
monico rest. case Of death.

The second WAS more brief, and
reads;
