ANNIVERSARY OF HURRICANE

Fourteen wears ago tonight Alexah-
dria was visited by hurricane unpio-
cedented inits history. Two people "ere
killed by falling buildings-on'e, OF Ine
victims being an cid and well-Kn 1N,
citizen and the other lady who Snor,
time before had become a resident OF
this CITY. Several buildings were tolSlly
demolished, one OF which was new y,
completed church, while nunureuS "
houses were unroofed and seriously
DAMAGED Fencing and trees were
nrostrated ON every street in the CITY,
and The tbroughfares we're at places
almost blocked with telegraph ana teie-
nbone poles, wires and debris from
walls which had blown down or were
damaged. During the height OF the DIS
turbance tin roofs were rolled up as
scrolls and sent sailing through the AR,
resembling huge vampires IN thelriilght'
II was midnight when the tornado
ceased, and by that time the tangle OF
nrostrate wires in the street was SO
great that many people we're afraid to
leave their homes as they were liable
10 tread on live wires. Hence the ex-
tent of the damage by the hurricane or
the fact that death had followed in its
train we're 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
am 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 a few min
utos.
