10000 DOLLAR STORM.
Houses Unroofed and Stocks of Goods Injured. All Sorts
 of Property Damaged.

this city last Saturday evening with a SIo, 900 storm. It occurred about o'clock. There was not much excitement because no one knew what was going on anywhere except where he was, and the whole thing was over III few minutes. The anxiety came after the storm was over. The business men began to rush home to see what had become of their families and homes, leaving the stores with roofs off and stocks getting soaked with water. The storm came from the Southeast. We have heard of no one being hurt except Tom Fowler, col, who was under his house trying to catch a chicken when the house was blown from the piers and caught him. He was not seriously hurt.
 We tried to estimate the damage to most of the business buildings. Many of the stocks of goods are damaged by getting wet, but 1t IS impossible to get anything like an accurate estimate. Small houses, barns and fences i'll various parts of town were blown down, but the loss of these cannot be given. The estimated damage to business prop ertv is about as follows:
 Dr. G. s. Brown, two buildings occupied by w.
 NJ Harrell x co., one building roof and ceil-
 ing crushed through by corner of Harrell X

 There was very little cyclone in surance carried i'll town so far as we have been able to find out. w. M. Harrell and Go. had insurance on their building, but not on stock. Hendrix College had insurance to cover losses on main building, but none on Tabor Hall. H. B. In- gram had insurance on his livery stable and Max Frauenthal was protected on his store building. The residence of C. w. Cox was badly damaged by having some part of a demolished building blown into one side of it.
