WIND DAMAGES HOPYARDS. Tornado Sweeps Over St. Paul and Minneapolis. St. Paul, Aug. 23.—Several persons were killed, a number are reported missing and 50 to 100 were injured, some fatally; business property and residences were damaged to the ex tent of perhaps >1,000,000; the mas sive «teel bridges across the Missis sippi were wrecked and strained; shade trees were leveled and much other damage was done in St. Paul and Minneapolis by a tornado which broke over the two cities shortly after 9 o’clock last night. Apparently the storm was of a local character, Tor as far as can be learned no damage was done in the neighbor ing towns. The storm was particular ly severe in the business districts of the two cities. Windows were blown In and roofs torn from immense whole sale warehouses and the flood of rain which accompanied the storm did Im measurable damage to stocks of goods. Dwelling houses, churches and school» also suffered greatly. Railroad traffic between St. Paul and Minneapolis was entirely cut off. The street railway systems of both cities were prostrated. For hours after the storm had spent its fury it was Im possible to get into communication with Minneapolis, the telephone wire» being demoralized. Rumors of great loss of life were rife, but on being tracked to their sources were found to be incorrect. All telegraph wires were down and the Associated Press was compelled to send men to stations down the river before communications could be estab lished with the outer world. The storm was of short duration, lasting not more than 15 minutes. The devastation it wrought was terrific.
