Gainesville, Ga, June 2.--The 5000 in- habitants of this city have tonight just begun to realize the extent of the appall- ing disaster of yesterday. It now seems certain that the death list will not be much short of 100; perhaps somewhat over a hundred, considering the number of dangerously wounded whose chances for recovery cannot now be calculated. But through all the gloom and desola- ton that surround the town like a pail of darkness there radiates a beam of hope and encouragement-hope that the death list may not be so numerous as re- ported; and encouragement to those who are so bravely and devotedly assisting in the work of relief.
 The story of the storms work of deso- lstion has already been told. All that remains is the compilation of an accu- rate list of the dead and the chronicling of the burial of the victims. Figuring from all available sources and giving credence only to those reports which are believed to be trustworthy. the following is summary of the effects of the tor nado in Gainesville and itss senvirons:
 Summary of Winds Work.
 One hundred killed, one hundred and fifty injured, of whom probably twenty will die.
 Eight hundred homeless, their resi- dences having been wiped out of exist ence.
 Property loss of about half a million dollars, none of which was covered by storm insurance.
 A concise and accurate statement of the casualties cannot be rendered for several days, but the physicians in attendance believe that 1t will not go very far above one hundred, although twenty-five or thirty are desperately injured and may die within the next two or three days The death list so far compiled includes thirty-two at the Parolet Cotton Mills at New Holland. all of. whom were killed in the demolition of the company's cottages. and thtrty-six at the sGainesglna Cotton Mills, near the Southern Railway Sta ton. where the tornado first struck The list. revised up to a late hour to- night of the killed at the Pacolet mills, New Holland. follows.
