| ton Of Cecil county, Nd, Monday alter
noon. It Struck the farm owned by Mr.
Joshua Clayton and tsnanted by his son,
| Mr.. Julius W. Clayton, near Chesapeake
City and it was here that the storm 5id
the most damage. The outbuildings,
which were new, were wrecked Fhomas
Thomas, aged about SO years, was caught
up by the hurricane and hurIed with
great force against the falling timbess Of
the barn and killed, the otherimen saved
themselves by cling to an old iron pump
The apple orchard on the farm was totally
ruined, the trees being torn up BY the
roots and one OF them carried for yards to
an adjoining field. One Of the large fields
of corn on the farm was moved dewn
level with the ground, but the dwelling
house escaped destruction. but two OF the
chimneys were blown away.
The buildings destroyed and their di-
mensions follow: Stable iand carFiage
mouse, 22x34 feet and the shed adjoining
14x34.feet and two other sheds, one 64x24
and the other 74x24 feet. The large
stable 4Ox34 feet with 40 tons Of hay was
moved seven feet in one direction and
three in another from its foundation aud
both ends were badly smashed. Awagon
shed 50xz4 feet was completely swept
away but the granary was not badly dam
aged. The large windmill and tank were
blown down and smashed to pieces, while
the hen house was literally torn to splint-
ers, some of the pieces being picked mp
along the creek, distance Of two miles.
A small stable in which Mr.. Clayton kept
his fast stallion, Bohemia 10y, was picked
up and carried away and no parts OF it
have been found. The horse was in the
stable but fortunately was uniniured, not
even receiving scratch.
4 Alex. Mahoney, Dobin Darrah and
Thomas Thomas, the three colored men,
who had sought shelter in one of the
sheds, had most thrilling experience and
Thomas the man who lost his life, was
running after his hat when the cyclone
hurled him against the tirnbers, crushed
bis skull, and broke one his limbs in three
places. His companions picked him up
and took him to the house where he died
Is minutes later.
Mr.. Clayton's loss will exceed $500, on
Which he had no insurance against
cyclones. The buildings were all new.
having been erected three years ago.
