HOUSES LITERALLY
TORN TO PIECES
Worst Storm in Years Struck
Omaha and Douglas County,
Working Havoc.
(By Associated Press.)

OMAHA, NEB., March 1.-the heav-
last wind rain and nailstorm in the his
tory of the city visited Omaha and Doug
las county early to-day. It struck Oma-
la near Monmouth Park, in the northern
edge Of the city, and moved northeast,
l., the neighborhood of Thirty-third and
Larimore Streets. Although perhaps fifty
holdings were NOR cor less damaged, no
body was seriously injured.
Persons who were caught in the storm
Iod narrow escapes, and Mrs. Amanda
Geary, who lives at Thirty-tl1ird Street
ana Grand Avenue, probably escaped
death by being absent from home. Her
house was picked up and scattered over
a square Of ground, bits of the furniture
being found in neighboring field. Tele-
phone and electric wires in the path of
the storm were StreWn over the streets
and great number OF poles were torn
out. Franklin School, one of the largest
in the city, had to be abandoned tempo
rarily. A large chimney was blown into
tie roof, which caved in and demolished
the interior Of several rooms. Small
buildings were blown about and several
harms were torn to pieces.
The Monmouth Park Methodist Episco-
pal Church was literally torn to pieces.
Several greenhouses were wrecked ny the
hail. Emmanuel Hospital was badly dam
aged by large chimney being blown
through the roof. Nearly all the sky
LIGHTS were blown off the Coliseum build
ing.
Several nearby towns in this county
rerort the worst storm for years. It
vas particularly severe at Valley and
I;ikhorn, and at the latter place a Union
Pacific train was struck by a falling coal
chute and considerably damaged, al
though no one was injured. At Florence,
tt1ee miles north Of the city, and
where the city water-works are located,
the storm twisted several buildings from
their foundations. but the water-works
plant was not affected.
In Central Park lightning struck seve-
IA. barns. and was one of the elements
that contributed to the havoc in this
city.

TO AVOID. COERCION.
Time Not Yet Arrived for Enforcing Drastic
Clauses. III
sfBy Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, March lit me caolnet
meeting to-day it was decided That the
time had not yet arrived for enforcing
the drastic clauses of the crimes GRIM s., act =.
For tho present, therefore, there will be
no REORGANIZATION of the United Irish
League. :,
The governments new land bill will be
introduced next week in the House OF
Commons by George Wyndham. the chief
secretary for Ireland and it is under
stood that his view prevailed that coer-
cion should be avoided as far as possible
until it is seen whether this bill will have
the effect of tranquilizing ireland, and
that st would be injudicious to revive the
determinations about coercion at the mo-
nent of introducing tho new bill.
g IT is said the Cabinet meeting developed
great and even bitter differences fsopin-
ion among the ministers.
