 The atmosphere became murky and dark, and a dark cloud was noticed in the north part of St. Louis approaching from the southwest. Suddenly an arm seemed to shoot downward like a gi- gantic cable, twisting and turning. The end touched the ground at Nine teenth and Anglerod streets and with incredible swiftness and force swept along Anglerod for ten blocks. Then it turned north and swept three blocks aIn ttrhn i'm ail blocks northeast to the foot of Bre- men street and the river, where much property along the river front was damaged. The tornado then jumped to about the middle of the river and en- countered ferryboat, which was turned and tossed about but not sunk. The tornado once more lifted and struck the Illinois shore near Madison, where it demolished several buildings, the Leiderkranz hafn and blew down a portion of the Madison cooper works, killing John Ellington. Severe damage was also done to the buildings at Venice and Granite City. which adjoin Madison, and a number of persons were injured.
 So quickly dTd the tornado sweep through north St. Louis that the citi- zens could scarcely comprehend what had happened. In the stiffness that followed cries were heard on all sides as terror stricken persons ran about the streets. Not telegraph, telephone or trolley pole was left standing along the streets swept by the tornado and trees were piled in heaps The path of the tornado was about a block and half wide, along which housest were unroofed, windows broken, several manufactories partially demolished and streets filtered with debris. A Broadway car containing eleven passengers was struck by falling tele- graph poles and wrecked. The passen- gers had remarkable escape from in | jury and only the .motorman received slight bruises. Probably the heaviest loss suffered by a single concern was the destruction accomplished at the Niedringhaus rolling mills. which cov- CTS two squares. The big smoke stack was blown down and half the plant de- molished and the damage was estimat- | ed at $25, coo. Six employees were injur- ed in this plant. A part of the roof and two cuIolas were blown from the Catholic church of Our Lady of Good | Counsel. The side of the Buck Stove and Range company's plant was blown | in.
 | There were many remarkable escapes from death by drivers of delivery wag- ons. Debris carried along by the tor nado crushed wagons like eggshells and hurled drivers into the street. One driver was crushed but will recover Others escaped with slight injuries
