Dea h and Destruction Mark the Storm,s Pathway Through
 Central Illinois.
THREE YOUNG WOMEN KILLED AT MERNA
Forty or Fifty Others Injured, Caused By the Destruction of the Town Hall. Where a Dance Was in Progress-BIoominG and Wiz cinity Caught It Badly.

Bloomington. H., June 12.-Death and destruction followed in the wake of the worst tornado, Tuesday night, that has ever visited central Illinois. The wind wrought ruin and woe and the property loss will be tens of thousands of dollars. There IS no way really of estimating the loss at present. owing 10 the uncertainty as to the effect on the growing crops, which, il is feared, suffered heavily. The saddest feature. however. was the killing of three young women who were attending a dance at the town hall of Merna, a small village ten miles east of this city. There was party of 250 young men and women at the dance in the hall when the tornado struck the building about II o'clock. Everybody rushed for the door. \ number of young men held the doors to prevent the people from escaping. fearing that they might be injured or killed if they got outside. About half of them, how ever. escaped and then the building collapsed The others were buried in the wreck.
 Killed and Injured.
 Three were killed and 10 or % others more or less injured, some of them seriously.
 The dead are:
 Miss Lena Jahagam. Mrs. Edward Martin and Miss Anna Kelly. All are daughters of prominent farmers in the vicinity. The bodies were horri- bly mutilated by the heavy timberS. Quite a number of young men and women were taken from the ruins in an unconscious condition and some of them are still in that state, and it is feared there may be other deaths.
 The storm struck Merna with the greatest fury-greater than any oth- CT place in the county. Many of the finest houses and barns were de stroxed.
 The storm at Bioomineton.
 The storm reached Bloomington about II ?. m, commencing with furious electrical display. Rain ac- companed the wind and the business district suffered severely. Many plate glass windows were blown in and the stocks of goods were badly damaged. Hundreds of the best trees in the city were broken off at the trunks and the streets were almost impas~abe Telegraph and telephone poles were broken short off and the wires added to the blockade. Buildings all over the city were damaged, but no lives were lost nor was anyone seriously injured.
