storm victims tonight, 315 people were
known to be dead on both sides CT the

even larger, and many of the maimed
cannot survive. The property loss will
reach well into the millions.
Colonel Welmore. manager of the Lig-

the entire property damaged at $25, ,0OO,-

tal loss, owing to the lack of cyclone
