 The cyclone struck the town from the southwest. It's path was a quarter of a mile wide right through the town. The following is list of the white persons who were killed:
 E. P. Seymour of Nashville, Tenn, who accepted his position as operator ath the railroad station last evening. A. H. Warren of Birmingham, em- ployed by the Alabama Grocery com oany.

 The negroes dead are: l w. N. Miles. wife and six children. Albert Holstein. wise and three chil- dren
 i Ike Holston, wife and three children. Fourteen other negroes yet unidenti- fed.
 Surgeons were rushed to Moundsville from Greensboro and Tuscaloosa. By the force of the storm persons were blown hundreds of feet from their beds in the blaclxness of the night. Through terror a father, the mother and three children fled from their homes to
 seek refuge, and in their excitement le3t a fve-year-old boy in bed This morning he was pulled from beneath
 some timber, and thus far 1t is i'm
 possible to find any other members of l the family.
 l Bedding, carpets and wearing apparel
 are scattered a distance of ten miles 1 throughout what was a, forest. but 1 which is now as clear as if it had been
 cut by the woodman's axe Freight cars
 were torn into splinters, and the trucks
 under them being hurled hundreds of i feet from the track.

 homes and storehouses occupied by R.
 L. Griffin. A. Wiggins 8s Son, W. J.
 Domenick, A. D. Griffin and w. P. Phif-
 CT. together with their stocks. were
 completely destroyed. Where they stood it is impossible to find even the
 pillars on which these structures rested. Bales Of cotton stored in warehouses
 were blown to atoms and fragments of
 lint with the debris lodging in the trees
 making it appear as if that section had
 been visited by snowstorn. Heavy
 iron sases were carried away by the
 storm, and the doors torn from their
 hinges.
 A younk clerk employed by w. F
 Phifer, hearing the terrible roaring o1
 the approaching cyclone, let himself
 down into a well in the center of the
 store. He no sooner had found his place

squib into a stove, and the explosion that
followed was of sufficient strength to wreck
the building and set the structure on fire.
