 Like Earthquake.
 There was hardly one brick lying upon another" said one passenger. 'The city looked as though it had been destroyed by a terrible earth quake. Mangled remains of human beings, distorted almost out of recog- milton, were to be seen everywhere. Thousands of persons must have been blown off their feet and hurled against buildings and into the sea. More than three-fourthS of a mile in land junks, sampans and boats were lying.
 ''The Bund was strewn with 1um- Der of all kinds"
 The tremendous loss of life is ac- counted for principally by the sud- denness with which the storm struck. There was no opportunity to flee, no vantage point to seek. On the streets in godowns and factories, in the fields, on the hundreds of small boats, the men, women and children were trapped like rats and could not es- cape.
 Sizzling live electric wires, which had been blown down, added to the panic and hundreds were killed by these wires before the waters reached the power plant and shut off the cur rent. The foreign enginer in charge was away at the time of, the typhoon and the fleeing Chinese operators did not realize the danger and turn off the current.
 Waterfront Razed
 Pontoons, wharves and docks along the waterfront were destroyed. Coast wise steamers were torn from their anchorages. Shipping passengers suffered a terrible strain when the big steamers were washed up on the coast.

 Relief Work Slow
 In the city the relief work is slow and it will be many weeks before Swatow can be cleaned up. The work of gathering up the dead and caring for the homeless living is slow. In one ancient Chinese temple 5000 uncoff1ned bodies have been placed. Other temples are being used for the same purpose and a steady stream of coo1ies brings in the dead. How they are to be buried is a, prob lem.

 By Correspondent

The divorce case of Joseph Santors of Stamford. against his wife, Helen Santors, who brought counter claims against him, ended at noon yesterday, after having taken nearly two days for hearing before Referee Joel H. Reed. No intimation of the recommendation to be offered was made by Referee Reed yesterday.

 Thousands Perish.
 Sweeping down upon the pictur- esque little city, like a great savage monster of inhuman cruelty the ty- phoon carried all before it. Reports of the casualties have grown, instead of decreased. until the total number of lives lost ranges from SO,000 to 1000, while a conservative estimate of the damage is S35, 5,QOG,0OO.
 Suddenly, with little warning, the typhoon struck Swatow. In a few hours, as one traveller reports, the city looked as if it had been shovel ed up in a heap,' while an ex-soldier compared the devastation to scenes in Flanders battlefields.
 A tidal wave swept far inland, car rying house boats,- junks and large steamers ashore, while the wind wrecked modern buildings with the same ease as it did the thousands of little Chinese huts. The wind, which was travelling from D to 100 miles
