any fatalities. so far as can be learned.
The tornado embraced practically the
whole village. and the Sing Sing prison was
In the very center of the storms path. Al
most every window on the water side of
the prison was blown in. and the rain and
yellow mud was driven through the prison
in every direction. The prisoners had just

age in Louisville and scores Of small Ken
lucky towns is getting to be very serious
The decision of local dealers yesterday TO
fill no more out-of-town orders at present.
in order to protect patrons at home, was
followed to-day by the announcement of
two large dealers that their supply was
exhausted. They delivered during the
morning what was left over from last
night, but at 10 o'clock this was gone. Six
carloads had been ordered from Chicago
and Indianapolis, and the two dealers
hoped to make this supply last until the
cars arrived. The demand was too great,
however. and three hours delivery emptied
the wagons. There has as yet been no
great suffering in Louisville owing to the
famine, but dozens of towns out in the
State are entirely without ice and there is
little hope for any relief though big orders
have been placed in the North for immedi-
ate delivery. The factories whose machih-
cry broke down, owing to its incessant use,
are still crippled. while those still in good
working order are powerless to do any,
thing like meeting the abnormal demand.
