THE STORM'S PATH
Fatalities Will Approximate
400 in the Two Cities.
MILES OF WRECKED BUILDINGS
searching for the Dead Hundreds Are
Homeleu-Cltj In Darkness
The Blver Disasters.
St Louis, May 80. When darkness
temporarily interrupted the search for
storm viotima tonight, 815 people were
anown to be dead on both aidea of the
river, and, although the oomplete death
list will never be known, it is believed
it will approximate 400 in the two
cities. The number of injured 1b larg
er, ana many 01 tne maimed cannot
survive. The property loss will reach
well into the millions, but insurance
people, firemen and police alike refuse
to bazzard a guess at aocurate flsnrea.
I he uncertainty regarding the loss of
life and property is dne mainly to the
wide extent of the havoc wrought by
the storm.
The miles of wreoked buildine as
yet unexplored, and the more numerous
oollapsed factories, toward the investi
gation of which little progress is made,
may bide almost any number of bodies,
a the police have been unable to se
cure anything like an accurate list of
the missing. In the factory distriots,
many of the employes on duty at the
time the itorm broke were without rel
ative in, the oity, and their disappear
ance would scarcely be noted, even
though they be buried in the ruins.
It is believed by the polioe that, owine
to the suddenness with which the
crash oame, many tramps and homeless
ones sought shelter ' among the build
ings whioh were leveled, and nothing
will be known of their death until,
perhaps weeks hence, their bodies are
found.
The list of known dead in St. Louis
ia 160, and in Bast St Louia 146.
Tbe oity ia in darkness tonight, the
stringing of tbe electrio light wires
having soaroely begun, and but few of
the trolley lines are running. All over
the stricken district the debris-choked
streets are crowded with sighteer.
and through the dim, gas-lighted aisles
of the oity morgne, at Twelfth street,
a constant stream of people is urged
forward by linea of polioe.
Hundreds of homes are is ruins;
downa of manufaotuirng plants have
been wrecked; .many steamboats are
gone to tbe bottom of the river, and
others are dismantled; railroads of all
kinds have suffered great loss, and
wire and pole-using companies have
weeks of toil and a large expenditure
oi money to raoe before they will be in
satisfactory shape again.
The most serious work of the storm
was along Rutger street, Lafayette
and Cboteau avenue and the contig
uous thorougfarea east of Jefferson ave
nue. The houses are in the streets
with their roofs underneath, buried by
brick and mortar. Under the briok
avd mortar are household goods of
every description, and on top of all are
uprooted trees and tangled masses of
wires. There is not a tree standing in
Lafayette Park.
The wreok of the city hospital is so
surrounded by wreckage that it is
barely possible to reaoh it. By far the
most remarkable freak of the storm
was at this many wiaged houBe.
About 200 patients were soattered
thorugb the wards when the tornado
struck, but, although the entire upper
story was out off clean and one wing
raxed to the ground, but one inmate
was killed. The viotim was located in
one of the upper stories, and waa killed
by flying brioka when the walla fell
out. The roof came straight down
upon the foundations, and, thereafter
resting on sound bed-oastings, enabled
the patients to be resoued without se
rious injury. The entire building wa
rendered useless, and the tottering
wall will be torn down and a new
structure built.
Many of the handsome residences in
Fourtenth street and about Lafayette
Park are ruined, but the most damage
was done on Sixth, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth streets, south along Choteau
avenue and in the tenement-house dis
trict. Houses are to be seen in all
stages of demolition, from tbe loss of
roof to complete destruction. In gome
of them, the front walls had fallen
out, and the tenant performed their
household duties, oared for their inju
ries or mourned their dead in view of
the crowds on the streets. From the
doors of many of the partially wreoked
houses fluttered black badges of mourn
ing, and there is soaroely a house in
all the district that did not have some
injured relative, friend or neighbor
within its wind-battered walla.
The path of the storm ia about half
a mile wide and over four mile long,
sweeping through the thiokly populated
southwest portion of Eastland and
aorosg the river into East St. Louis,
Colonel Wetmore, manager of the
Liggett & Myers tobaooo plant, whioh
was wreoked, estimates the entire prop
erty damage at $ 25,000,000, which
will be, he say, almost a total loss,
owing to the laok of oyolone insuranoe.
Other estimates range from $15,000,
000 to $30,000,000, but the majority
of them are olose to that made by Col
onel Wetmore.
East St. Louis is in ruin The oy
olone whioh swept down on the oity
last night obliterated block after block
of business houses and dwellings, and
left behind it a red trail of death,
scores of human beings buried beneath
the walla of flattened buildings or
crushed to death in the street by fly
ing debria. The improvised morgues
and hospitals are fairly ohoken with
dead, some orushed and battered out
of all human shape, and through them
now a steady stream of hysterical
women and grim-faced men looking
lor tneir missing ones. It is almost
impossible to make an aocurate esti
mate of those killed. At the various
morgues and at St Mary's hospital
there are 66, six are in the Big Four
ireigni nouse ruins, but how many
more there are soattered about the oity
in private houses it ia
tail, a conservative estimate would
place the total at least 150.
The scene ia simply appalling.
rrom tne river bank to tbe national
atookyards, a distance of over a mile,
caroely a building is left standing.
The greatest slaughter was done on the
island so-called. Here was looated the
Vandalia freight house and general
offices, the river boats' warehouses and
humble abodes of workingmen. Noth
ing l lert standing, the daces where
formerly houses and freight depots
stood being literally sweDt bv the fnrv
of tbe storm.
In the Vandalia aeneral offlcea alone
there are from twenty to twenty-five
killed, the bodies of some of whom are
still buried beneath the broken rafters
and bricks.
The monetary loss cannot be esti
mated, but it will run into the
millions.
The storm struck at the bis eleva
tors, 800 yard below the Eads bridge,
followed tbe river to tha Kads bridee.
started diagonally toward the relay
depot and continued on to Collinsville
avenue, then lifted and dropped again
at the National stokyards.
in comparison to its size, tbe fatali
ties in East St. Louis greatly exceed
those on this side of the river. The
larger part of theoentral portion of the
oity is razed to the ground, while on
the flats along the river bank north of
the Eads bridge, not a house is left
standing. The loss of life is terrible.
Soarcely one family seems to have es
caped without some member being
killed, while many households were
wiped out of existence.
Nothing whatever remains of Broad
way from tbe river to the viaduct.
and on the east side, for a width of
probably 600 yards, there is absolutely
no semblance of a house, freight shed
or cars left standing. Cars in the
yards were thrown on their sides, ends,
on top of each other, into the ponds
abounding on the island, and com
pletely wrecked.
At the Vandalia yard the loss of life
and the number injured is very great.
ruining remains 01 tbe relay depot to
mark where it stood.
The river front for over 1.000 yards
is a great mass ot wreckage. Steam
boats, ferryboats, transfers and tugs
are piled up in an indiscriminate pile,
some partly submerged, others " high
and dry on the shore.
Every undertaking establishment is
an improvised morgue, and the hos
pitals are full of the injured. At St.
Mary's there were probably 60 pa
tients, with some so seriously hurt
they cannot reoover. One little suffer
er lay moaning. She was picked up
in front of a house without a stitch of
olothmg on her little body. She is in
ternally injured and will die. The
mother lies near, badly hurt. At the
polioe station little oould be learned
but that oould be seen at the hospitals
and morgue.
It will be several days before the ex
aot situation is known. The search for
the dead is still going on, but it-is
slow work. There is yet too muph
confusion to proceed systematically.
The steamers Pittsburg, of the Dia
mond Jo line, the City of Vicksburg,
and City of Providenoe, of the Colum
bia Excursion Company, the City of
Monroe, of the Anohor line, and all
sorts of small craft were pitohed and
tossed about until a final blast Bent
them from their moorings. They were
swept aoross the river and struck the
Illinois bank a few blocks from eaoh
other. The loss of life on these boats
is thought to be slight, as everybody
was cautioned not to jump and they
would be brought safely to land.
The City of Vicksburg is almost a
total wreok. The City of Providence
wa blown up on the Illinois bank
Her rudder is gone and cabin and
smokestacks were blown away before
she parted from her wharf.
Tbe Harvester, of the Mississippi
Valley Transportation Company, w,as
blown from its dock and carried down
the river. A river man said that
$1,500,000 would not repair and re
plaoe tbe boats alone that figured in
yesterday's disastrous storm.
. As an instanoe, it may be stated that
two large barges belonging to the
Mississippi Valley Transportation
Company, and holding 104,000 bushels
of wheat, the property of the White
Commission Company, were blown
away.
There must be a great number of
people imprisoned in the destroyed
buildings who oannot be gotten out for
hours, although thousands of oitizens
have offered their aid to the polioe de
partment to help the work ot resoue.
A few minute after the cyclone
passed fire broke out all over the oity.
Alarms were sounded, but usually in
vain, as the fire-engine houses could
not be oommunioated with. The fire
men had to' piok their way through
blinding rain among masses of. tangled
live wires to the scenes of the fires.
Then many water plugs proved useless.
Rain helped materially in quenohing
the fires, and by midnight all fires
were reported under oontrol.
Four hundred members ot the Mis
souri National Ouard, in addition to
the same number of St. Louis police,
are patrolling the wrecked district to
night By tomorrow many more mi
litia will be on duty. Thia is iu ao

In anticipation of a grand holiday
and a popular banquet on Hodynsky
plain, ten of thousands of people be

in front of whioh the plain is situ

reached the grounds last evening and
camped there, or in the immediate vi-
oinity, in order to make sure of obtain
ing good positions today. On tha
Plain long linea of rough tables,
flanked by rougher benches, had been
erected. It was first arranged to aooom
modate 400,000 people, but in view of
the immense crowds assembled in and
about the oity at the coronation fete,
extra tables and benohes wer ernii
and every effort made to provide mraU
for 500,000 people. To feed the multi

mile outside the oity, on the road to
St Petersburg. Several detachments
of infantry and oavalry were stationed
in the vicinity to support the polioe
should such a step be necessary.
By dawn today the mass of peasant
about the tables was really enormous,
and all were desperately hungry, some
having fasted for nearly 24 hours. The
polioe did everything possible to keep
baok the orowd.r but suddenly the
masses pressed forward and swept ev
erything before them. They over
turned benches and tables, trampling
hundred under foot and crushing the
life out of a great number.
Among the dead found on the plain
were ladies evidently of high rank,
dressed in the finest silk and adorned
with jewels.

A Later Account.
Moscow, June 8 The disaster on
the Hodynsky plain yesterday is con
stantly gaining in proportion, a the
investigation by the authorities con
tinues. These are made under diffi
culties, as the recovery of the viotims
waa c inducted by hundreds of volun-
teers, and many were oarried away be

ditional deaths of the injured are oc
curring, whioh are only added to the
enumeration after some time.

amount to between 2,000 and 8,000,
but it is impossible as yet to learn ex

death and desolation was the continua
tion of the fetes and the brilliant ball

tended by the czar and czarina last
evening. It is said that $70,000 were
expended on the supper alone. Rare
vhnda and delicious fruits and vege

tant dimes to add to the delights of
the feast, while France furnished the
oostliest and most elegant fabrios and
Turmture to set off the beauties of the
palaoe where the embassy is lodged. Y
The czarina was not informed of the
disaster at the time, owing to her deli
cate condition.
