DEATH AND RUIN
Caused by Wind and
Rain.
A Tornado Swept Through
Illinois.
Great Damage Was Done and Many
Were Killed.
IOWA TOWN DAMAGED.

Bloomington, ILL.,. June 11.-Death
and destruction followed last night in
the wake of the worst tornado that
ever vitited central Illinois. The wind
wrought ruin and woe and the property
loss will be tens of thousands of dol
lars. There is no way of really esti-
mating the loss at present, owing to
the uncertainty of the effect upon
growing crops. which, il is feared suf-
fered heavily. The saddest feature was
the killing of three young women at a
dance at the town hall in Merna, viii
lage ten miles east of this city. There
a party of $50 young men and women
were at dance in the hall when the
tornado struck the building about IL
o'clock last night. Everybody rushed
for the door. A number of young men
held the doors to prevent the people
from escaping, fearing they might be
injured or killed if they got outside.
About half of them, however. escaped.
and then the building collapsed. Others
were buried in the wreck. Three were
killed and forty or fifty others injured,
some of them seriously.
The dead are: Miss Lena Jahagam.
Miss Annie Kelly and Mrs. Ward Mar
tin. All were daughters of prominent
farmers in the vicinity. The bodies
were horribly mutilated. A number of
young men and women taken from the
ruins in an unconscious condition are
still in that state and it is feared there
may be other deaths. Merna got the
brunt of the storm and many of the
finest houses and barns were de-
stroyed.
The storm reached Bloomington
about IL p. m. commencing with furi-
Gus electrical display. Rain accom-
panied the wind and the business dis
trict suffered severely. Many plate
glass windows were blown in and
stocks of goods were badly damaged.
Hundreds of big trees were broken off
at their trunks and the streets are al
most impossible. Telegraph and tele-
phone poles were snapped in two and
trolley wires added to the blockade.
Buildings all over the city were dam
aged but no lives were lost nor was
any one seriously injured. One man
was blown 600 feet but escaped with
slight bruises. Just on the eve of com
mencement the roof of Wesleyan uni
versity was blown off and the interior
damaged badly 10y water. The railroads
report damaged tracks due to washouts
and number of freight wrecks due to
telegraph poles falling on the tracks.
so far as now known, no one was killed
or injured in this manner. Efforts are
making to reach the small towns in the
country. Ii is believed several of them
suffered more or less damage.
At Clinton, the Chicago < Alton
round nouse was demolished, but so
far as known, no lives were lost At
San Jose a grain elevator was blown
across the Alton track, entirely block
ing traffic At Barnes, another eleva-
tor was blown down. A large number
of farm houses are reported seriously
damaged but details are lacking.
