WIND-sTORM IN TEXAS.
Considerable Damage Done-A NUM-
ber of Persons Injured.

DALLAS. TEX, March l9.--A heavy
wnd-storm. which. in some places. as
sumed the appearance Of cyclone.
passed over this part Of the State last
night. At Plano the gale leyelled the
sheds of the Cotton Belt and Central
roads. blew over freight-cars, and un-
rooted several residences. A number of
persons were injured at Plano, but none
were killed. Considerable damage was
done by the storm i'm the vicinity OF
Itaska and Hutchinson. The telegraph
and>telephone wires are prostrated. and it
is difficult to learn the extent Of the
damage
The storm i'm the vicinity Of Denton
has caused damage to the extent Of $780,
900. Jack Simmons was fatally injured
in the debris Of "A falling house. II is
thought that great damage to life and
property has been done in the territory
west OF Denton.
The storm also swept over the towns
OF Hutchins and Itasca unroofing houses
and wrecking small buildings.
At Fort Worth. the power-house OF the
electrical railway was unroofed. and
traffic suspended. On Harding and Boaz
streets six or seven frame dwellings
were blown down. \ brick school-house

Reports from other points In that Sec
ton indicate positive distrust OF = great

flooded the lower part OF the town. The
main break was about fifty feet wide,

still widening. No lives were lost there,
so far as Is known. The conviction at
Caruthersville is that the levee was cut
in order 10 relieve pressure on the Ten
