|crVERAL TOWNS IN WlSCON- SIN WIPED OUT OF
 EXISTANCE.
|HlNDREDS ARE DEAD.
Families Compelled to Desert Their Homes in BOats-GalI for
 Help.

Saltwater, Minn., June 12-The village of New Richmond, Wis, was almost wiped out of existence this evening by one of the most severe eveIones that ever visited that To- eabty. It carried ruin and death in it's path and at this hour it is im-
 possible to give even partial list of those who are seriously injured. Itis thought many are dead.
 The news of the disaster was brought here by J. A. Carroll, a
 raveIing paan from Portage, Wis, who was stopping at the NieolIet house in New Richmond when the cyclone struck. He saw the funnel shaped cloud as it came up the principal street and took refuge in the basement of the hotel, which was completely wrecked, together with every other business house in the city. h terrible sheets of rain following the cyclone Mir. Carroll and bls companions succeeded in removing the proprietor, Charles MeKennon, wife and one child from the debris. They also removed the laundry girl, who was so seriously Injured that she will probably die, and two men named Barrett and FeWaI, who were very seriously injured. Mr. Carroll drove to Still water by team for relief, and the train with doctors will leave here at midnight. Mr. Carroll says fur ther that fire followed the cyclone, and what was left was being con- Sumed by fire.
 Mary people are doubtless killed and the damage will run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Burkhardt, Wis, June 12.-A messenger has reached here from New Richmond, aud has telegraph ed neighboring towns for doctors and help, saying that the storm struck that town and a large num- Der were killed and wounded. The railroad officials have endeayored to get out a special train but on ac- count of the several washouts are unable to do so, and the doctors and many others are now driving across the country. Three travelling men who drove from River Falls to Hud- son were struck by the storm and the rg was torn to pieces. One of them named Vollman had a leg broken.

THE BRIDGE DELAYED.
Secretary of War Has Not Granted
Permission for IT,, T.. a L. bridge.

Work on the Richmond, Petersburg and
Carolina bridge hcre is greatly delayed by
reason of the delay of the Seer airy Of
War in granting the necessary permission
for the construction OF the bridge.
Application vas made many weeks ago
for permission TO bridge the James at
Richmond but the request has never been
acted upon. There will probably be much
more delay. as Mr.. Root, the new Secre-
tary. will not be installed for several days.
and Acting Secretary Melklejohn will not
pass upon the matter I'm the interregnum.
All. or nearly all, the steelWOrk FOR the
bridge is on the ground, and the contrac-
tors are ready 90 begin wOk on the piers
and abutments so soon as the necessary
permission shall have been received Ma
chinery for the construction of the bridge
IS I'm position. and the stone is being put
on the ground.
The contractors for the erection of the
piers for the Chesapeake and Ohio viaduct
have begun work. Three large derrcks
have been erected-one near the Tredegar-
Works, and one at the foot of Ninth and
Tenth streets, respectively. Work will be-
gin In a day or two on the piers. About
fifty men are now at work. ana this num-
Der Will be considerably increased from
time to time. II IS believed that less than
twelve months will be required Tor the
construction Of the piers.
Mr.. Fritz Sitterding has l25 men at work
removing buildings from the right of way
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio in the Vici-
nifty of south Seventeenth street. The
buildings must be removed in three weeks.
