thorugh the wards when tbe tornado
struck, but, although the entire upper
story waa cut off clean and one wing
rased to the ground, bat one inmate
was killed. Th victim was located in
on of tbe upper stories, and wa killed
by flying brick when the walls fell
oat The roof came, straight down
upon tbe foundations, and, thereafter
resting on sound bed-caatiugs, enabled
tbe patients to be rescued without e
rion injury. Tbe entire building was
rendered nselesa, and the tottartng
wall will be torn down and a new
structure built
Many of the handsome residences in
Fourteenth Hreet and about Lafayette
Park are ruined, but the most damage
was done on Sixth, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth itreets, south along Choteau
venue and in th tenement-house dis
trict. Houses are to be seen in all
stage of demolition, from the loss ot
roof to complete destruction. In some
of them, the front walls had fallen
out, and tbe tenant performed their
household duties, cared for their inju
ries or mourned their dead in view of
th crowds on the streets. From the
door ot many ot the partially wrecked
houses fluttered black badge of mourn
ing, and there is scarcely a boose In
all the district that did not hav some
injured relative, friend or neighbor
within it wind-battered walla.
The path of the storm i about halt
a mile wide and over four mile long,
weeping through the thickly populated
oathweet portion ot I Eastland and
across th river into East St Louis.
Colonel Wetmore, manager of the
Liggett A Myers tobacco plaut, whioh
wa wrecked, estimates the entire prop
erty damage at 134.000.000, which
will be, be aay. almost a total loss,
owing to th lack ot cyclone inauranoe.
Other estimates range from f 16.000,
000 to $30,000,000, but the majority
of them are close to that made by Col
onel Wetmore.
East St Louis is in ruin The cy
clone which swept down on the city
last night obliterated block after block
of business houses and dwellings, and
left behind it a red trail of death.
core of human being buried beneath
the wall of flattened building or
crashed to death in th streets by fly'
ing debris. Ths Improvised morgues
and hospital ara fairly ohoken with
dead, om crushed and battered out
of all human bapa, and through thm
flow a ateady at ream of hysterical
women and grim-faced men looking
for their miaatug one. It ia almost
impossible to make an aoonrate esti
mate of thoae killed. At the various
morgue aud at HI Mary's hospital
ther. are ,!, six are in the Big four
freight house rains, but bow msuy
more there srs scattered about the city
in priyate house it i impossible to
Ull. A oonaervstiv estimate would
place the total at least 150.
The scene is simply appalling.
From tbe river bank to tha national
stockyards, a distance of over a mile,
scarcely a building ia left standing.
Tbe greatest slaughter was done on the
ialand eo -called. Here was located th
Vandalia freight booae and general
offices, the river boats', warehouses and
humble abodes of worMingmen. Noth
ing is loft standing, the places where
formerly houses and freight depot
ktood being literally swept by tb fury
of the (torm.
In the Vandalia general office alone
there are from twenty to twenty-five
killed, the bodies of aome of whom are
still buried beneath tha broken rafter
and brick.
Tbe monetary loss cannot be esti
mated, but it will ran into tbe
million a.
Tbe storm atruck at tbe big eleva
tors, 800 yard below tbe Eada bridge,
followed the river to the Ead bridge,
tarted diagonally toward the relay
depot and continued on to Collinsville
avenne, then lifted and dropped again
at the National stokysrda.
In com pari aon to its rise, the fatali
ties in East bt Louis greatly exceed
those on this side of the river. Tbe
larger part of tbe central portion of tbe
city ia raxed to the ground, while on '
tha fists along the river bank north of '
the Ead bridge, not a house ia left
standing. Tbe Ibss of life is terrible.
(Scarcely one family seem to have es
caped without aome member being
killed, while many household were I
wiped out of existence.
