that much property is damaged and some persons were maimed. At Loogootee 

 the flouring mill, the Catholic church and City Hotel were badly damaged. At 

 Evansville the south wing of the insane asylum was damaged. At McCordsville 

 the house of James McCord was blown down and Mrs. McCord was fatally hurt. 

 At Brazil outbuildings, fences and trees were leveled and coal mines were flooded. 

 At Alexandria residences and business blocks were damaged, and the Lippincott 

 glass factory Was destroyed, John Angle, Jr., being instantly killed. F. McShaf- 

 ery, Peter Hanlan, Ernest Frey, James Branham and others were seriously in- 

 jured. At Vincennes houses, barns, trees and fences were laid low for twelve 

 miles. Several thousand dollars worth of property was destroyed. 



And just for a moment pause to consider the following dreadful sup- 

 plementary pictures clipped from the S. F. Examiner of April 8th, 9th 

 and 10th, 1893: 



A TERRIBLE STORM. 



"DEADWOOD, (S. D.), April 7. A terrible wind and snow storm has been pre- 

 vailing here for the past forty-eight hours. Telegraph and telephone wires have 

 been prostrated, many buildings blown down and others unroofed. Piedmont has 

 been partially destroyed. All the trains have been tied up. The velocity of the 

 wind is seventy-five miles per hour," 



BUFFALO, April 8. One of the worst cyclones that ever swept western New York 

 struck this end of the State yesterday. Reports have been coming in all day of 

 damage done in Chautauqua and Erie' counties. As near as can be gathered the 

 hurricane struck near Springville, in this county, ard then swept down across 

 Chautauqua Lake and into Lake Frie. A dispatch from Springville states that a 

 barn belonging to Vedder Hemstreet was blown down. Mr. Hemstreet and his 

 hired man were in the barn with some cattle when it collapsed. The latter was 

 caught between two cows and escaped unhurt, though the cattle were crushed. 

 Hemstreet was pinned between several timbers and died before he could be ex- 

 tricated. 



At Brocton, the heart of the grape country, tremendous ravages in orchards and 

 vineyards are reported. Trees whre uprooted and buildings leveled. At Westfield 

 trees were uprooted and a water tower and windmill were lifted bodily and moved 

 a couple of yards. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern tracks between Angola 

 and Farnham were washed out. Fair buildings at Dunkirk were demolished. 

 Many cattle in Sheridan were killed. Churches, printing offices and othar build- 

 ings in Fredonia were stripped of their roofs. At May ville a boathouse was scattered 

 over a farm and Lake Chautauqua was lashed into fury. At the Assembly grounds 

 several handsome trees were shattered and broken and cottages twisted from their 

 foundation. In all these towns narrow escapes from death are reported. 



The residence of George H. Talcott, at Talcottville, Lewis county, was struck by 

 lightning some time during last night and burned to the ground. Talcott and his 

 brother were burned in the house, their charred and blackened corpses being found 

 in the ruins this morning. The damage done to the buildings by the storm cannot 

 be less tht*n $100,000. It is impossible at this writing to estimate the injury to or- 

 chards and vineyards. 



CURSED BY CHOLERA. 



[Special to the EXAMINER.] 



LONDON, April 8.-~If last year's devastations of the scourge were not fresh in the 

 public mind, Europe would be already in a cholera panic. The disease probably 

 exists to-day in a larger number of towns than when the epidemic was at its height 

 in Hamburg last summer. The criminal policy of concealment is again being pur- 

 sued in many places. The most outrageous are in towns on the northern coast of 

 France, where it is known that nearly a hundred deaths have occurred within a 

 fortnight. Russia acknowledges several hundred deaths over her vast extent of ter- 

 ritory, and it can only be guessed how much this is short of the truth. 



Strong appeals in the advertising columns of the St. Petersburg newspapers for 

 the services of doctors in infected districts indicate how great is the emergency. Not
