STORM IN RICHMOND.
Wind Plays Havoc With Signs, AVN
ings, Roofs of Houses And
Trees.

Richmond, March 2S.-Richmond
yesterday had a forcible reminder of
the terrors through which the people
of the stricken storm districts Of the
Middle West passed, when miniature
tornado, accompanied by an embryonic
cloudburst, took the city in its grasp
shortly before 9 o'clock, and within Il
few minutes wreaked damage estima-
ted at several thousand dollars and
threw thousands or residents into a
panic which was allayed only to the
ceasing of the storm, which was as
sudden as it's beginning.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
hurled to the ground and rendered
useless. Live wires were thrown into
the streets at many points and were
constant menace to the life of Rich
monders, who were scampering in the
face of the capricous wind to points Of
safety. Trees were uprooted, tele-
graph and telephone poles were blown
down. roofs were carried from the
tops of houses, plate glass windows
were crumpled up, awnings and signs
were torn from their fasteningS and
thousands of umbrellas were torn in
side out and reduced to wreckage fl
l. - ~ n sb no r-a1
The storm played havoc with local
railway systems. Besides blowing
down wires in all directions and in
some instances cutting off the local
offices from all communication with
their lines, the wind in its terrific fury
tore up trees by the roots and hurled
them bodily across the tracks and de-
laying their arrival here far behind
schedule time.

TRAFFIC CRIPPLED.
All. Bridges on Potts Valley Exten-
sion Washed Away.

Ronakoe, Va, March %. = The
bridge at Norcross, on the Virginian
Railway, and all bridges on the
Potts Valley extension, as far US as
Interior are washed OUT. Traffic
on the main line of the Norfolk
and Western Railway is delayed by
reason of slides. The waters on
>Big and Little Stony Creeks are
6pher than ever known.
New River is very high and still
me-. 1t is learned that there are
alf dozen OF more slides between
nceton and Roanoke. About So
{ of a wooden bridge across Big
Fony Creek, near Norcross, w. va,
miles west of Roanoke, has been
rarried away. A construction force
IS building new structure there.
All trains have been annulled west
of Roanoke and no definite summary
of conditions can be had.
Yesterday afternoon request was
received by the Norfolk and Western
from the Chesapeake and Ohio ask
ing to be allowed to detour two OF
their trains carrying government
supplies to Ohio over the Norfolk and
Western via the Shenandoah dlvr-
sion and main line. The Norfolk
and Western agreed to handle these
trains in view of the fact that they
are carrying supplies to flood dis
tricts. Owing to the trouble on the
Norfolk and Western,the road is not
in a position to handle regular busl-
ness for other roads.
The Chesapeake and Ohio has
washout between Basic and kenova
and for that reason it is necessary
TO run the Government relief trains
from Basic to Roanoke and hence
west over the Norfolk and Western
main, line into Portsmouth where
they will again take up the man
line of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
