t,rely suspended. In outlying districts
Of this city the property damage Is

Death List to Increase.
That the number OF dead will be In
creased in the next few hours appears
certain. for at least ten OF those re-
norted as missing are believed to be
nnder the ruins Of FIVE buildings that
collapsed in Sixth street, west OF
Mound. The property damage, It Is
estimated, will be more than $1,O00,O0o.
The list Of dead includes twelve men
of a crew OF eighteen Of the towboat
Convoy, which went down during the
storm, None Of the bodies had been
recovered.
The storm was equally severe over
northern Kentucky and the property
damage there will almost equal that OF
this city. Only one death has been re-
ported from the Kentucky side of the
river today. The crop damage was
heavy.
