LATE STORM NEWS.
Houses at Maloncy and Bardwcll
Destroyed by the Wind.

Based on the latest and most re-
liable reports from the storm of
Thursday night the path Of destruc-
tion extended entirely across the
southern portion Of the county. 1t is
estimated that between seyenty-ftve
and one hundred residences, barns,
outhouses. school houses. ware
houses and other small structures
were either completely deuoyed or
badly damaged The value of the
property destroyed would be hard to
estimate. That no one was killed or
seriously injured is due to the fact
that the people took refuge in their
storm cellars when they saw the
storm approaching.
In addition to Fridays report Of
the storm it has since been learned
that three small tenant houses near
Maloney were completely blown
away Two were empty and the other
was occupied by negroes who escap-
ed unhurt.
Passengers arriving on the north
bound Trinity and Brazos Valley
train Friday afternoon said they
saw the ruins of three or four hous-
es near the road south of Bardwell.
The school building at Push Col
lege was wrecked A number of res
licences in that community were
damaged.
Three barns about three miles
southwest of Forrcston were blown
away
Emhouse, on the Trinity and Bra
zos Valley railroad, about nine miles
north of Corsicana, suffered heavily
both churches in the place being
blown down, the new bank building
is reported to be badly damaged and
many houses blown off the blocks

fears that after they go ove- the routes

some of them.
The inspectors have been instruc ted
to examine the routes carefully and
recommend for discontinuance all that
have not been put in good condition
for travel. Some time ago the post.
"aster sent out notices to the road
supervisors requesting them to fix the
roads and explaining to them the per.
atty for not complying with the Post.
office departments orders. The pen.
atty is the dscontinuance of unfit
routes. and no one in the country feels
that he can afford to be deprived OF the
mail service.
