 Other houses in that block that were totally destroyed were those of W. M Merritt, member of the Birmingham fire department. None of his family were seriously injured. The families of Edward Mann. Roy Mccullough. Charles R. Robison, Capt. N. D. Johnston, D. Nc Rae, Mir Hardwick, all had providential escapes from death, and none of their injuries are thought to be of serious nature.
 In crossing Twentieth street the terrific wind snapped the big poles of the Bell Telephone Company as if they were pipe stems, and they fell to the street below taking heavy cables with them and ser iously impairing the telephone communi- cation for a large section of the South Highlands.

 pr. Chapman Killed.
 It was just at this point that Dr. G. c. Chapman was killed. He was accom- panied by MT. w. P. Diokerson, a medi- cal student and the two had just been to make a professional call to a patient near Five Points. Seeing the threatening storm approaching and thinking it best to seek refuge from the terrible rain, Dr. Chapman and his companion stopped their buggy in front of Winters grocery store and went inside. The storm literally picked up this store building and threw it down in heap in the yard of MT. J. A. vanHoose. One of the falling timbers caught Dr. Chapman on the forehead and killed him almost instantly. His arm was also broken in the fall.
 MT. Dickerson. who is from Mobile, Ala, was also struck in the head with falling timber, producing conoussion of the brain. He is not expected to live.

 The storm left the two blocks bounded by Eighteenth and Twentieth streets and Humbolt and Avenue H a total wreck. With few exceptions all of the houses in that territory were hurled to the ground and the scene now presented is one of complete desolation.
 A Sad Fatality.
 One the saddest fatalities of the day was the death of the little 4-year-oid child of B. B.. Hudson, near Ninteenth street and Humbolt avenue. Mrs lyud- son, acoempanisd hv another sbiId, had

 The roof and sides of the store were | lifted and carried several yards away. leaving the floor, counters and the heavy groceries intact.
 The handsome residence of MT. J. A. VanHoose, which is next door to the store, stood the shock splendidly. the principal damage done was the ripping off of the slate roofing in front. This damage was repaired yesterday after noon. so that comparatively little damage resulted.

 The residence of J. Ferguson, the well known saloon man, who lives in Twenty second avenue, was almost razed, and Mrs. Ferguson, who Is an invalid was seriously injured by the falling timber.
 Here the storm seemed to gather fury as it swept down the hill across Twenty second street and began its merciless on- slaught on the district known as Browns Hill.
 Destruction On Browns Hill.
 Browns Hill lay in the path of the storm, and within two or three blocks nearly an hundred houses were demol- ished and several lives lost and a number of persons more or less seriously injured. | The houses in that part of town were mostly one-story cottages and went down with the first gust of wind, burying their | occupants under the wreckage. In its eccentric course the tornado seemed to strike that section with renewed force. A great many of these cottages were owned by their occupants, who lost every lOCoND1c0 their houses and their furniture were de- stroyed.
 Colonel J. J. Altman, alderman from the Sixth ward, lives with his family at Twenty-sixth street, near Avenue H. but his residence was only slightly damaged. The servants house in the rear of the residence was torn down and part of the material carried away.
 Three blocks north of the storms path way a timber fell across the roof of cottage at Avenue and Twenty-fifth street, crushing 1t in. No other house in that immediate vicinity was damaged in the slightest.
 Dr. R. V. Mobley, a member of the police commission, was driving along Twenty-fourth street near Avenue l. when the storm passed that vicinity. He was blown out of his buggy and into a ditch, where he lay until the wind ceased to blow. While lying in the ditch a brick blown from some house. probably near by, struck him on the nose mashing that organ and causing him considerable pain. The horse became detached from the buggy, and the latter was blown against a fence and smashed.
 Destruction of Lowe's Residence.

A fearful tornado, in all the fury of it's pent-up rage, swept down upon the south ern section of the city shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday morning and in it's ruthless course up the valley left death and destruction in. Its wake. The frown- ing storm king summoned all the wrath at his command and with an awful grind ing roar tore hundreds of houses into fragments and claimed twenty human lives, the price of his unwelcome visit.
 Twenty persons were crushed and killed by the flying debris and scores of men, women and children were mangied be- heath the wreckage. which was strewn than two miles.
 It is estimated that 300 houses were de- stroyed and damaged, entailing a proper ty loss of between $500. 900 and 5000
 Among the dead are Dr. G. c. Chap man, one of the most prominent physi- clans of the city, and the wife and child of Hon. Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee.
