ANNIVERSARY OF HURRICANE

Fourteen wears ago tonight Alexan-
dria was visited by a hurricane unpre-
cedented inits history. Two people were
killed by falling buildings-one OF tne
victims being an cid and well-Kn0"n
citizen and the other lady who snort
time before had become a resident "
this citv. Several buildings we're totally
demolished, one OF which was new
completed church, while hundreds OF
houses were unroofed and seriously
damaged Fencing and trees were
Frustrated on every street IN the Guy
and the tbroughfares were at places
almost blocked with telegraph ana teie-
phone poles, wires and deDris from
waIIs which had blown down or were
damaged. During the height OF the DIS
tmrbance tin roofs were rolled up as
scrolls and sent sailing through the air,
resembling huge vampires in thelrfiIght.
It was midnight when the tornado
ceased, and by that time the tangle OF
nrostrate wires in the street was SO
great that many people were afraid to
leave their homes as they were liable
to tread on live wires. Hence the ex-
tent Of the damage by the hurricane or
the fact that death had followed IN Its
train were not known to many people
until the next morning. 1t was then
that they began to realize the devastat-
ing power OF the elements and to wonder
that the city had passed through such
an experience with SO few fatalities.
They Immediately realized the utility
OF storm cellars, necessary adjuncts TO
residences in other localities. Builders,
timers, carpenters, bricklayers, plaster
ers, linemen and others were kept busy
some time in repairing the damage the
elements had caused in few min
uteS.
