 Atlanta, Ga. May 1.-The storm which for three days has been sweep ing eastward across the Southern States tonight was passing out of the south Atlantic States into the Atlantic Ocean.
 Despite seventy-two hours of snuff ing out of human lives, crushing habi- tations. doing perhaps millions of dol lars damage and for a few hours in moralizing business and communica- ton. this tremendous atmospheric dis turbance today apparently had lost none of It's vicious energy. Late this afternoon wires suddenly regained, flashed the news of eighteen more deaths in Georgia. lives taken by a storm of the coming of which some of the victims had been reading for two days in the newspapers Last night. when the news of the extent of de- structfon in Tennessee. with between sixty and enc hundred deaths. was speeding by train from the presses to- ward Albany and sCedartown, Ga, and when even old hands at predicting the course of tornadoes were drawing a sigh of relief and saying 1t was all over, the winds were racing with the trains toward those towns. Before day light the tornadoess struck both pAacebs ktiin8 tW0iVe m the vicinity of Cedartown and six few miles south of Albany.
 At Savannah, the tornado had lost much of its fury. It tore through the old t0wps however -Synroofe led ssgmany houses and destroyed3 much property not only In the city. but in adjacent country, doing s10o.e0o damage and in- turing two persons.
 From Norfolk came news of high winds and some damage to property. while the towns in North Carolina and many in Florida contributed their quota of storm devastation. That the worst Is over, now seems certain and tt only remains to cast up the cost in human life and property. That this list will be incomplete for several days Is probable, for wires are down and railway communication Is seriously ir,- ferrupted in the interior of several States in the path of the tornado. With the information at hand, however. fl seems certain that at least 200 have been killed. probably twice as many Injured and that property worth sev. eral millions of dollars has been de. stroyed.
