Tbe track of the storm in Parkland wasabout three blocks wide.

Jeffersonviile was struck by the cycloneat ft o'clock. It was very distinctly heardtwo miles in the country, where the peoplewondered what it msant. Fortunately,not one person was killed in Jefferson viile,although some were badly hurt.

According to the latest reports this even-ing it is hoped none of those injured willdie.

The damage to steamers on the river wasconsiders hie. It is believed tonight theloss end damage to property in Jefferson-viile will aggregate fully half a million.

Among many incidents reported is asingular story. W. A. Donisy's residenceto half a block from the river. When thetornsdo struck the river front It picked upa skiff moored there and carrying it alongdashed it through the second story win-dow of the Dorney residence.

At the Strouss house, corner of Springend First streets, s large number of peo-ple gathered for shelter. Hatl, brick andtumbling walls fsil around them, butstrange to say, though the building wasalmost totally wrecked, none were bsdlyhurt

Reports from many points covering awide extent of territory in Kentucky,Illinois and Georgia show that the path ofdestruction eras a wide one. Tbe force ofthe storm was felt as far north as the BtI-awrenoe river. The news from eachplace is a sickening repetition of Natalitiesarnui scenes of horror.

On theother side was wreck and ruin. Greatmesses of brick and stone had the appear-ance of having been simply crumbled toearth.

The search for victims is going onsteadily, and eech hour sdds hugely to thealready long list Many places labor ingreat danger ot being buried beneath totter-ing walls at any momsnt and other acci-dents are looked for momantaatfy.

Barton, president of tike White Cross asso-ciation. called on President Harrison todsysnd informed him that she was going toLouisville with a large corps of assistantsto render all the aid possible.

The president was much affected at thetidings from ths storm -stricken districtand wished her Godspeed.

The Board of Trade today appointed ageneral relief committee to at once relievethe poor people who are in a destitute con-ditian, and 120,000 was subscribed in ashort time.

Oreat Lou of I.lfe.Itis now thought that the deaths will

number about 150. This evening a largeforce of men have been sent out to makea thorough canvass of the devastated district and to report losses of life and prop-erty as fully as possible. They will try tomake statement tonight.

The property loss at present is estimatedat nearly a million dollars. The work ofrescuing the mangled and dead goes bravelyon. Hundreds of anxious men are work-ing as they never worked before for thebodies of friends and relatives that lie bur-tod in the mass of brick and mortar thatcovers the sits where yesterday stood FallsCity hall.

At the foot of front street a t*at occu-pied by Henrr Wilkins and children sndwiie. capsised and the inmates would havebeen drowned but for a number of car-work« employes, who heroically riskedtheir own lives and ssved them.

Gsngs of rescuers are at work on thegreat- masies of debris in the search for vic-tims of the awful calamity. The wreckwas so great that it beggars sa attempt atdetail.

At the corner of Sixteenth and Magazinestreets one of the most horrible incidentsoccurred. Three man were caught in thefalling timbers of a two-story building, andburned entirely to a blackened and charredmass in full view of the people in the street

The devastation through the streets sur-rounding Baxter square is complete, andat the same time peculiar, tit. John *

church is completely wrecked, tress in theparks uprooted, fountains were laid flatand the very mud from the streets rakedup and daabed against wrecked houses sndwalls.

Immediately upon ths bursting of thscyclone the fire bells sounded and tbe

l<Mice weut to work. Within ten minutesa posse appeared at tbe Falls City hall,where the wreck was greatest. The wallsof tbe adjoining bouse were first propped,then began the work of cutting throughthe roof that covered aIL

The cries of men, women and childrenare heard on every side, and the surgingcrowd of 10,000 people block the streets forsquares. Itis a sight to strike anguish tothe soul. Bodies dead and wounded aredragged from beneath the ruins all aroundthe district; snd men. women snd childrenlinger sbout with dreed anxiety lest theyrecognise in some shspeless masses the re-mains of some relative or friend.

After an hour of csssslsss labor ths firstvictim. Mrs. Harsh Eelly, was unearthed.She was found sitting upright, her headbruised and one arm broken. She said attbe first quake they all made s rush forthe entrance. Women were knocked downand trampled upon. Seeing an overwhelm-ing jam at the door, several remained be-hind.

The tornado took ths middle of the Louis-ville City railway bulldtng at Twelfth andJefferson streets, southwest corner, leavingthe north and south ends intact It looksas if an immense scoop ware taken out ofthe middle.As night closed in its folds the devastated

city of Louisville, scores of widows andorphans are bowed down with the weightof deepest grief. Wreck and ruin havesettled down in its very midst and spectersof the dead, whose funeral pyers are heapsof bricks and mortar, seem to rise up andenshroud in the awful halo of their pres-ence the entire city.

The track of tbe tornado ended atTwelfth aad Jefferson streets, snd whilethe destruction between Eleventh andTwelfth was terrible, the block betweenTwelfth and Thirteenth was intact, exceptan unroofed house or two.

Tbe excavators then moved from therear to the front, where it was supposedthe greater crowd gathered. As soon asthe roofing was removed, and the mass ofbrick beneath, ten women, locked in eachother's arms, were drawn out Inside ofthe next hour sixty men and women weredrawn out depd. but with no wounds. Itis thought that ell met death from suffoca-tion.

Tbe scene at the ruins erf Virgil Wright'scigar store this afternoon, where the fourbruised and mangled bodies of the Ixmto-ville hotel laundry girls. Meggie Ryan.Maggie Campbell. Mary Crows snd MsryMcGinty, were found wss simply horrible.

Bands of brave rescuers continue towork, but in the dark, they seem to worksilently, though no less srduously. Aseach remnant of piles of wreckage is liftedit is in anticipation of uncovering to viewtbe lifeless form er death set features ofsome victim of the awful storm, but thereis no time to consider the dead, for theliving may yet be buried beneath the de-bris, mad they tarn and delve again with re-newed energy into the great mass andSfsrch fog the crushed and mangled.

BWMUS* Pstaalltes.

Gss pipes were broken, aad flooded thedebris with a vapor almost sa deadly asfire might have proven.

Ways were pierced into the breast of theruin, and bodies were drawn out dead anddying.

Along Main street the pathway of thestorm extended to Eleventh street, andfrom Seventh to Eleventh not a singißbuilding is left standing. This morningpresented one ot the most stupendousspectacles of ruins ever witnessed. In thecourse of the storm lay the great tobaccomarket. Today the warehouses lay inruins. Thousands of hogsheads of tobaccolav in a mass of brick snd mortar.

At 10 tonight a rescuing party beardcries st ths rear of a fallen building.Twenty men rushed to the spot In a rborttime twenty strong arms dregged theheavy timbers from ths pisee. beventyfeet beneath the level of the surroundingpile, the form of a woman wss soen. Whenthe rescuing pvty reached hsr she wasstill bees thing, but was aaconscious. Noneof the crowd knew her.

A special meeting of the city ooancilappropriated $30,000 more. A large corpsof men have bean organised to work on thswreckage unremittingly, the first attentionbeing paid to Falls City Hall and otherpoints where great loss of life is feared.Fortunately for the homeless, the weatheris very mfld.

Ths relief committee this evening dis-cussed the question of property loss.Opinions varied considerably, fromfragmentary data, it was considered to beover $2,000,000.

Tbe advantage of light and its fear-die-pelling qualities are denied tbe workers, forall electric wires were torn down by thestorm and left the city to be enshrouded inthe deepest gloom. Itgroa aso dark in theshadows of the crumbling walls that stillstand, thst every object with semblance ofhuman form must be grasped to prove itflesh or stone.

The tobacco warehouses on Main streetare total wrecks, and the amount o< tobaccolying on the thorough fare is almost be-yond comprehension. Some of the wreckedhouses contained L-MlOand 3,500 hogsheads.

All sorts of stories are afloat as to thenumber of lives lost at Falls City hall. Aa-socisted Pr< s reporters, after »are'ulsearch tonig&t, can find trace of forty-fivebodies taken out.

The Louisville hotel was unroofed andotherwise wrecked. The next buildingweal was occupied as a cigar store upon thefirst floor, and sleeping rooms upon thesecond and third, which were raxed to theground, not a single brick remaining in itsplace. In the destruction of this bouse,many lives were lost, mostly persons whooccupied sleeping rooms. Many of themwere girls employed at the hotel.

There is no estimating the number ofthose who lie burned in their graves.People are still hunting for missing mem-bers of their families; and mothers andfathers are gazing on the ruins and cryingto the Almighty to deliver to themat least their dead. Hardenedhearts move with deep sympathyand idle men dive into the dirt, andthe grim streets are thronged with multi-tudes of sorrowing people. They standupon the corners solemnly discussing thedreadful catastrophe, or moved from onepoint of Uie wrecked district to another,gazing at the scenes of the ruins.

Saloons and other available places wereturned into hastily improvised morgues,where Uxiies were taken as recovered andleft awaiting identification.

Eleventh street seemed to serve as a kindof due for the storm, all intercepting ob-jects in that line being reduced to nothing-

nee*. Down this street it carried fronts ofbuildings, mostly residences on each side,lesving in many instances furniture andcontents unmolested.

AtLa Grange, Ky., great damage wasdone to property.

At Eminence many house* were wreckedand two or three persons killed.

Trainmen generally report last night'sstorm to be an awful one. The lightningwas almost incessant, and by its lightconld be seen flying timbers and wreckedhouses, and men. women and childrenrunning here and there.

Port Moral, Henry county, is reported tobe badly demolished, and serious damageis done at Pendleton, thirty-live miles fromLonisrille.

There are at least 100 families homelessin the street* that were happy yesterday inthe possession of their homes.

Three lives were lost at the corner ofEighteenth and Maple street*. The killedare John Werrick, aged 40; a daughter,aged 4 years, and James Fiizgerald. Wer-rick kept grocery store and at the time ofthe accident there were in the store proper,his wife, daughter and Fitzgerald.At the first gust of wind the wallsdoubled up and the roof dropped in. Wer-rick was crushed by the falling Umbers andtaken out dead. His wife was extricatedin an unconscious condition. l<*ter on in

Not only were bouses dashed to theground, but furniture in many instanceswas entirely destroyed. Hundreds ofthousands of dollars' worth of householdgoods and merchandise lay last nightupon the business streets at the mercy ofthieves.

Jefferson and Market streets are inalmost as bad a condition as Main. Hun-dreds of wagons are busy carrying awaysoiled and broken furniture from shatteredbouses.

From Seventh street and the river as fardown as can be seen, scenes of desolationmeet ttie ere and bewilders spectatorswho never dreamed of anything like it Thestorm seemed only to have swept Broad-way from Fifteenth to Nineteenth, butnearly all the houses between these streetsand on intersecting streets are demolished.From Fifteenth and Seventh are mostlysmall frame houses, occupied by coloredfamilies. Roofs were torn off, but not aUrge amount of damage was done other-wise. aud none of the occupants were hurt.

Fifteen unidentified bodies are lying in aheap at the Falls City hall. There areother heaps all over the city. Many bodieshave been carried away by friends, and itis difficult to make a complete list of thedead, but the Ust of the dead and injuredwill not be far from 400.

Mrraorou*. 111, March 281?Ths* townwas vi»ited by a fearful storm yesterday,resulting in the wounding and ceath of alarge number of its citlsens, and such awholesale destruction ot property as wasnever known before.

the night the rescuing party saw a tinyhand protruding from the debris, and themangled form of the baby girt soon lay be-side its dead father. The body of Fitzger-ald, a Louisville & Nashville brakeman,

waa next taken out.

An inspection of the water works thisafternoon showed the standpipe to be com-pletely wrecked. Until repairs are com-pleted no pumping can be dons, and thereis only about enough water in the reser-voir to last five days. At the end of thattime the public will have to depend onwells.

The Course of Destrwetloa.The tornado last night entered the south-

eastern portion of the city at Eighteenthstreet and swept a path five blocks diagon-ally. reaching in a ragged line to Seventhstreet, leveling er»ry building in its path?-probably 2,500 bouses.

Main «treet from Eighth to Fourteenthis in the ruins, not one of the hand-some wholesale houses are left, and the to-bacco warehouses are swept away. OnMarket street the walls of the city ball, afour-story building, were blown down whileseveral Masonic and Knights of Honorlodges were in seseion.

Every bouse on Market, Jefferson andWalnut streets, from Tenth to Sixteenth, isin ruins. Parkland, a suburb, was sweptaway, t-ucb desolation was never knownin an y part ofthis country. Every building,tree and telegraph pole in the district wasleveled.

The cyclone was predicted by the signalservice yesterday afternoon, but no heedwas paid to the warning. It came on withscarcely any warning sound, and in all thebuildings struck the inhabitants were en-gaged in their usual vocations.

The district laid waste comprises an areaof three mnes. nearly half a mile wide.

At least 300 bouses are tn ruins.The Dsed-

Eleven men were crowded into the littlebarber shop of John Berther, No. I,WBroadway. When the storm burst theroof wis torn off, the second story carriedaway and the side wails were tumbling ia

when the men broke the windows and

doors and ran into the street, and not oneof them was hurt, but the building wastotally destroyed.

In going down Main street is an oppo-site direction to the course pursued by thetornado the first evidences of serious de-struction are topless and winCowlessbooses on the north side. Between Sixtnand neventh streets the wind took the rootfrom and deranged a two-story building oc-cupied by Sutciiffe A Owena. The nexttwo upper stories of A. Gerst A Co. 's four-story notion store was destroyed. The twotop stories of Bamberger, (strong A Co.'sfour-story building were demolished.

A thrilling experience was tnat of Mrs.Roemeie. who kept a dry goods store atColgate and Seventeenth streete. At the

time of the storm her nephew, WilliamKiiimire, was with her. When the wallsbegan to shake both of them rustled to thefront door just as the whirlwind was pass-ing.
