DAMAGE IN THE CITY.
Hundreds of Buildings UnrOOfed
and LosscS Heavy.

The damage to the property in the city
as the result of the storm was hardly
so great as was caused either by the storm
Of 1893 or that of 1896 A fair nut con-
sentative estimate of the damage puts it
at about q quarter of a million dollars
The losses for the most part were small,
but they were numerous, and the total
amounts up rapidly.
There was no particular section in
which the storm did its greatest damage.
1t struck here and there and wherever it
found weak spot. destruction was the
result. 1t played havoc with the parks
and trees all over the city, likewise with
the wires and with the generally soft
marks, tin roofs.
There are few houses In the city which
did not spring a leak. Many lost their
tin roofs altogether, others had entire
roofs, rafters and all blown off, and were
drenched from top to bottom. Some new
houses just being built were blown down
fiat TO THE bround. Churches and public
buildings all suffered in the loss of some
portion of their roof.
Perhaps the worst sufferers in the city
are Messrs. Julius Perlnski and Jacob Co
hen. Their houses stand together at Bull

wind took the roof entirely off both build
ings and carried it over into the back
yard, almost onto the little grocery store
in the rear. Mr.. Perlnski and his family
with one or two others, were occupying
his house, while Mr.. j. II. Elton and his
son were in the other house. Mr.. Elton's
family Is away from the city. The oc-
cupants of both houses narrowly escaped
with their lives. They remained In their
rooms until the wind reached its hight,
and then determined to go down In the
cellar, which they did just in time. A few
minutes later the roof went off, and bricks
and mortar fell through i'm abundance.
