 Simultaneously with the crashing oi the buildings the city was thrown into utter darkness, which was relieved only by the light of the fires which sprang up immediately at four or five different places in the city. Only the heavy downpour of rain which follow. ed the tornado prevented the flames from completing the destruction which had been made almost complete by the wind. Owing 10 the heavy rain. the flames were confined 10 the houses where they started. One Of tne hund- lngs destroyed by fire was the Brink ley Academy, a negro institution

 Dr Mcknight. who is in charge of the thirty or more physicians who are caring for the injured and the dead, stated that the number of injured would have run between 125 and 150. while the number already found to have sustained more or less serious injuries was more than 60.
 Three bodies were taken from the wrecked store of Foote & Gazzola on Cypress street. Those killed in this store were Portly H. Foote. one or the proprietors of the store: Charles Franz and Harry Stoyall. the latter a 17-year-old boy.
