Memphis, Tenn. Especially with
the known death list already reach
ing a total of 81 lives and with 13
others reported dead, with scores seri-
ously injured and man others pain
tully bruised and SCARED and with
the property damage running to
9l,OOO,OO0 or more, the havoc and
destruction of the storm which swept
Middle and West Tennessee, Alabama.
Georgia and portions of Arkansas
and South Carolina grows hourly as
reports are received from remote
points and as wire communication is
gradually restored to a normal con-
dition.
Apparently the storm broke over
Middle and West Tennessee and pro-
ceeded in a southeasterly direction
across the state into Alabama and
Georgia, assuming the proportions
of a West Indian hurricane as 1t
swept along, leaving desolation and
ruin behind. 1t came practically
without warning, and in some places
1t Is reported that the wind attained
a velocity of 80 miles an hour.
While only one death occurred at
storm there were greatly heightened
by the fire which started amid the
ruins and debris of what was once
a flourishing little town in Middle
Tennessee. The flames, unquenched
by the heavy downpour of rain and
hail, rapidly consumed what few
dwellings and storehouses were left
standing. Two hundred people were
ha,
ed to neighboring towns and cities
for immediate aid.
Reports of five deaths and heavy
damage come from McNairy County,
where is located the famous battle
field of Shiloh, and which was direct
ly in the path of the storm. Homes
and stores were leveled to the ground
and great trees in the historic Ma
tional Cemetery were uprooted.
Many handsome and imposing
statues in the National Park were
torn from the pedestals and the prop
erty damage Is estimated at $780,
900. 1t Is impossible to confirm the
report that 13 lives have been lost
at Stantonville.
At Russellville, Ala. 1t is reported
that 40 inhabitants were seriously
injured.
A property damage of at least
$4,000 is estimated at Cartersville,
Ca, while that at Atlanta will run
between $4,000 and 100000.
Memphis escaped unscathed.
The storm played havoc with
plantation property, the wind tearing
the frail farm buildings to bits.
trees were uprooted and
the hail and heavy downpour of rain
leveled vegetation.
Telephone and telegraph COM
panies suffered materially, long
of wire being torn from
their fastenings.

Internal Trouble - Police Fire
Upon The Mobs In Vienna.
Paris Especially. - The Spanish
embassy here continues to be strong
ly guarded by the police because of
the violent threats of anarchists and
others who are bitter against the
Spanish government for the execu-
tion of Professor Ferrer. the revolu-
zionist. Marquis Del MUM, the
Spanish ambassador, sent his con-
dolences to the family of the police
man who was killed during the riot
ing in front of the Spanish embassy.
The Paris Temps prints under re-
serve report from its correspond
ent at Carbere, on the Franco-Span-
1sh frontier, to the effect that two
Frenchmen were shot at/the Mont
juich fortress In Barcelona. The
same papers correspondent at Ma
drid says that the news of Ferrer's
execution created a tremendous i'm
preston in the Spanish capital but
that the government has taken ex-
traordinary precautions and there
have been no disorders. Troops sur
round the palace and public build
ings.
The police records show that one
policeman was killed and seventy
six persons were wounded during
the nights rioting. Among those
arrested were five notorious anar-
chists. The press, with the excep-
tion of the Royalist and clerical ele-
ment, continues to express indigna-
tion over the execution of Ferrer
and to predict that grave events will
follow in Spain. The Socialists are
planning further demonstrations
throughout the country. During the
night students in the Latin Quarter
burned King Alfonso in effigy.
Count de Castellane has advised
Marquis Del NUM-, the Spanish am
bassador to France, to bring suit
against papers which have insulted
King Alfonso.
Several city councils have adopted
resolutions of protest against the ex-
ecution. The mayor of Cherbourg
has returned to the Spanish Embas-
sy the insignia of the Order of Isa-
bella the Catholic, which was pre-
sented to him by King Alfonso.
