The inky darkness of the night, added

The scene among the searchers was
indeed a solemn one. Here and there
lanterns fiickered in the darkness, and
now and then the feeble rays from the
lights would fall upon the face of the
unfortunate victims. Silently, mourn

AFTERMATH OF STORM.
From Thursdays Daily Herald

Out of the chaos and confusion caused
by Tuesday nights storm-officially pro.
nounced tornado-order has finally
been restored. The bodies of the dead
have been laid in the final resting
places, and the work of relief for the
injured is gong steadily on.
The storm which struck here passed
over large portion of the state, but Co
worst of it, SO far as known, there
were no deaths in this county, outside
of this immediate vicinity.
Yesterday was indeed sorrowful day
for Columbia. A gloom and pail seemed
to settle down over the city, and every
body seemed imbued with the solemnity
of the occasion.
During the day many thousands went
out to view the scene of the disaster,
and the pixies were crowded with vehi-
Giles.
Many interesting sights were witnessed
among the ruins. In the Macedonia vi
cinity numbers of negroes could be seen
searching among the ruins for articles of
furniture, ETC., which they had lost, and
here and there were wagons gathering
up beds, clothing and other articles out
in the middle of fields.
At the Arsenal the soldiers we're kept
busy clearing the debris from the
grounds. The storm only struck the
portion of the Arsenal grounds on the
Mt. Pleasant pike, and consequently the
damage to the government property was
not so great as it might have been
otherwise. The pretty row of cedars
eading from the entrance on the Mt.
Pleasant side were completely destroyed,
and around one of the stumps there was
wrapped a buggy top blown from nobody
knows where.
Looking for the Needy.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the citizens mass-meetlng yesterday
afternoon, the committee appointed for
the purpose began to look for the suf
ferers, and ere night had fallen, the
entire district between Whites Spring
and West End had been canvassed and
the names of the sufferers obtained.
The Losses.
1t is estimated that at least fifty
negro houses in the section mentioned
were wiped away. The cottages and con-
, tents, 1t is estimated, were worth on an
average Of $3.50, making their total value
something like s12.5O0. This aggregate,
however, does not begin to approach the
total loss caused by the storm in this
section. The total loss on buildings
alone, 1t is estimated, will amount TO be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
/ The number Of dead is now "a, while
there are between 60 and 10 injured,
more or less seriously. Thirty-hve Of
the injured have been treated 10 the
emergency hospital. A complete re
vised list Of the victims appears else
where in this paper.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1900-11-23
Ambulances Fitted UP.

Temporary ambulances were speedily
fitted up, several merchants of the city
furnishing wagons. mattresses, etc.
A hospital was also established in the
upper story of the Brown building on
the square, and here physicians and
nurses received the injured as they were
brought in and tenderly dressed their
wounds.
Many affecting sights we're witnessed
here Among the injured were mum

cries we're indeed pitiable.
