The wind blew gale of forty-6ve

twenty minutes. Water poured out
of the clouds, and was swept along by
the wind in great waves. The de-

EADs BRIDC DAMAGED

Tho Eastern Part Of tho Great Stract-
ure Collapses-A Trains Experience.
ST. LOUIS. May ga train had left
st. Louis just before the storm broke.
and Engineer Scott had only pro-
ceeded short distance when he real
lied the danger. The wind struck
the coaches, at first causing them to
careen. At that time he was about
half way across the Eads bridge.
Overhead the poles were swapping and
tumbling into the river. while large
stones were shifting to and fro from
their foundations and plunging into
the water.
Realizing that any moment his train
might he blown into the water or else
the bridge be blown away, Scott put
on a full head of steam in an effort to
make the east side shore. The train
had scarcely proceeded zoo feet and
about the same distance from the
shore when an upper span of the
bridge was blown away. Tons of
huge granite blocks tumbled to the
tracks, where the train loaded with
passengers had been but a moment
before.
At about the same instant the wind
struck the train. upsetting all&he cars
like playthings. luckily no one was
killed, but several were taken out Sc
verely injured.
The wrecked part of the bridge is
just aast of the big tower near the
Illinois shore and extends east for
about 800 feet. The entire upper por-
ton. traversed by street cars and car
riages, was carried away. while the
trucks beneath were buried in the de-
bris, in some places eight feet deep.

NEOsHO, Mo-, June 1.-The disaster
caused by the cloud burst 1T Seneca
grows in magnitude as the facts be-
come known. Seneca is . small town
located sixteen miles west of Neosho.
in the Lost creek valley. The heavy
rains of Friday afternoon and the
cloud burst Saturday morning sent
the creek over its banks, and = torrent
of water. which extended from hill to
hill, rushed down the valley. 1t
swept everything before it. Not 4
single house in the lower part o. SEN
eca escaped. About $3.50 o'clock Sat
urday morning the water swept
through the town like . miniature
tidal wave. The creek was many feet
out Of its banks, and = wave four feet
high swept through the principal
streets of the town. Houses were
swept away as though they were egg
shells. Everything in the course of
the wild water went down the stream.
Eighteen lives are known to have been
lost. Fourteen bodies have already
been recovered When the full de-
tails of the disaster are known it may
be found that the loss of life was even
greater.
The home of H. Audreas was di-
rectly in the path Of the waterspout.
It was swept away, and Andreas, his
wife and three children were drowned.
The home of Carl Schmidt was washed
away, and Schmidt, his wife and five
children had their lives washed ont
by the flood. A 3-year-old child of
T. j. Williams. Willie DOebler, Mrs.
H. Robinson and child were swept to
their death by the mad torrent One
of the saddest occurrences of the dis
aster was the death of Mrs. White,
wife of the pastor of the NJ. E. church.
Mr.. and Mrs. White had only been
married two weeks, and had just
moved to Seneca from New Jersey.
They were living in the Dispatch
building, which was located on tho
main street of the town and near the
bed of the creek. The building
was washed from its foundation
and . moment later was broken
all to pieces White and his wife
were asleep when the water struck
the house. They sprang from their
bed. and White got his wife out of q
window before the house went to
pieces. White is powerful swimmer
and managed to support his wife for
a time. until floating log struck him
in the head and rendered him uncon-
scious for q moment. He regained
consciousness just in time to hear the
dying cries of his wife as she went
under the water for the last time.
The flood did not drop over the city,
but about nine miles east of Dayton,
small hamlet. The water then came
with a rush down between the noun
tain sides, and soon filed Lost creek,
and, crowded into narrow space, it
acquired volume and force sufficient
when it reached the town to carry
away nearly thirty buildings In adj
dition to wrecking houses in its path
way. the stores in the city were sub
merged and some wholly destroyed.
Probably $4,000 will not cover the
loss to the business interests.
