s«i:i-r AWAY nv THE STOIIM.

AKIII.X. 0., April 10.—A terrible cyclone swept over Summit County Tuesday night, cutting a path twelve miles long and a quarter of a mile wide. The storm started in tlio northwestern end of tho county, and its path was southwesterly, nearly to tho county line. Tho devastated district is in Sharon, Copley, Akron and Springfield townships. Framo houses were crushed like egg-shells and whirled end over end, brick buildings were scattered to tho wind, and huge trees were snapped oir. People who saw it coming took refuge in their cellars when they had time, and others took tlieircnanc.esout of doors, clinging to the nearest stable object.

At Sharon two enormous black clouds swept toward each other from tho north. No breath of air stirred for a few moments. Suddenly the clouds met wit a fearful crash. Then tho conciliate cloud began to whirl and approach tlio ground in a trail, which rapidly grew and lowered with an awful roar. All was darkness except for intermittent flashes of lightning, which showed the air full of flying timbers and debris.

The greatest fury of the storm was felt in Sharon. The first victim was Matthew Hromloy. lie was trying to make his way from his barn to his house when the cloud descended, lifted him into the air, hurled him twonty rods and deposited him among the falling timbers of his barn which had been lifted from its foundation and whirled to pieces, leaving tho horses standing on the ground floor unharmed. Bromley was crushed under tho heavy beams, sustaining injuries from which ho soon died.

On a knoll near by stood tho largo two-story frame house of Hugh Frank, with barns and outbuildings. Mr. and Mrs. Frank, who were in tho house, hoard tho awful roar and rushed to tho cellar. They never reached it. Tho houso was torn into kindling-wood above their heads and borno away with the storm. Neighbors found Frank's dead body in the ditch across tlio road. Ho had boen driven head-forward with such force that Ills head was buried in tho earth. The body was shockingly mangled by contact with missiles in tho air. Mrs. Frank was found in a wheat fiold thirty rods from where the houso had stood, and several bones broken. She died several hours latw.

N. C. Fullmor was milking a cow in his barn when tho building was crushed and lifted skyward. Ho was found 150 feet away with injuries from which ho will die.

Frank Brambly and his family huddled in tho collar while their houso was lifted from its foundation and carriod several rods. The ruins caught fire and were consumed.

The residence of Jacob Durrwith and a largo new barn were scattered and scarcely two timbers found together. Tho roof of the Methodist church, a largo structure, was carried away, and a new barn, 1(1 by 80 feet, was whirled like a top until its beams gave way.

The storm plowed through a forest of tall maples and left not a treo standing in its path. The tornado subsided as quickly as it began, lasting only ten minutes, and was followed by torrents of rain. Furniture was found over a mile from its starting placo.

The edge of the storm passed the city of Akron and only one building was harmed. That was struck by lightning four times and was destroyed. The streets were flooded with water so that travel was stopped, street cars could not run, and the tracks or the Valley railroad were covered with dirt washed from hillsides.

IX SI'KlNOKIKM).

In Springfield many buildings were wrecked, but no one was killed. Tho family of Scott Swcitzor saw the storm approach. Mr. and Mrs Sweitzer picked up their two children and sprang for the cellar stairs. That instant their homo was swept away and they were dropped into tho cellar among tho falling timbers, seriously injured. When the wind had passed they groped their way from the cellar in inky darkness and saw no vestige of their home. All thoir domestic animals wero killed.

The houso of W. II. .Tones was destroyed and many other buildings ruined. Many dwellers in the devasted region were obliged to make their way long distances to tho nearest placo of refuge through floods of rain. Not a fenco was loft in all the storm's sweep, and scarcely a trace of a road in many placos. All bridges woro carried away, streams swelled to floods and hundreds of acres of farm lands throughout tho country are lakes of water.

Tho fields are literally sown with timbers, bricks, furniture, clothing, farming utensils and all manner of incongruous objects. A large carpet was found draped over a treo half a mile from the location of tho nearest house.

The number of injured can not yot bo estimated, but many havo broken limbs and other injurios. Hailstones as largo as walnuts foil with the rain which followed tho tornado. Thunder and lightning wore continuous and many buildings wero struck. Tho total damage can not bo estimated, but is high in tho thousands. Tho rain continued falling heavily Wednesday, and disastrous floods are foarcd.

llUllIEo'lN SAND.

DKXVKK, Col., April 10.—Tho sandstorms throughout tho West Tuesday night woro moro disastrous in/ their effects than any that have visited this country in some years. Tho dust and fine gravel together were swept in from tho plains during tho night, completely covering tho town, whore it drifted like snow. Tho wind was blowing fifty miles an hour and tho corrals on the various ranchos in this vi-inity wero blown down. Herds of cattlo wero stampeded and it will take days and possibly weeks to collect thom again. All tho plain towns from tho foothills to tho State lino woro more or loss damaged. In Donvor tho street-car tracks woro completely hidden from view, being covered with loose dust. At 10 o'clock Tuosday night tho storm seemed to liars reached the height of its fury, and those who had occasion to go out upon tho streets wero almost blinded with alkali that was swooping through tho streots and in clouds forcing its waythrough windows, covering every thing in its path and nearly suffocating pedestrians.

Usually such a storm is accompanied a Blight rainfall, which lays the uus but in this instance it was a genuine "norther," and entered tho city with disastrous effects. The now Turner Hall was blown down and literally jjlled with sand, and sovoral buildings on the outskirts of the city were partially wrecked by the wind.

Tho wind has blown a Bteady galo ever since, making travel almost an impossibility not only on account of tho wind, but tho great danger lies in being struck by largo pebbles, which aro carriod fabulous distances and hurled with terrific force. Added to this snow falls with blinking swiftness, making altogether tho hardest storm this plaoo has ever seen.

On tho Continental divide, sixty-five miles south, trains found it impossible to proceed over tho ridge, and, indood, an engineer bravo onough to attempt it could not bo found, and consequently no trains camo into tho city from the south.

Much damago was dono to property at Burlington, Col. Th cornice and roof of tho Montezuma Hotel wero blown away. Tho south wall of Curran Hall was badly damaged. The east end of Waters' livery barn was blown out. Stables, sheds and smaller buildings wore blown to pieces and the fragments are scattered over tho prairie. Chimneys, signs, every looso article was badly demolished. At times the air was so full of dust that objects ten rods distant were not visible. It is the worst storm known' in that part of the State. The wind blew at Sterling, Col.,, all day Tuesday, doing immense damage to the oity and surrounding country. At Colby, Col., the bank building was unrooted and great damage was dono in the town by tho tornado. The high-school building was wrecked, and at times the wind blew so hard tho sun was obscured.

The town of Julesburg suffered severely. Four dwelling nouses wore blown completely away. Th occupants who bad taken rufugo in the cellars woro saved. The entire front of the State Bank of Julesburg was blown in. The glass fronts of noarly every business houso in the town wero blown in and largo quantities of material ruined by tho inpouring sand and snow. The loss will aggregate 830,000.

CIIRYKNNK, Wy. T., April 10.—The fiercest tornado over seen in Wyoming swept across tho southorn part of the. Territory from west to cast Tuesday. Tho galo started at 1 o'clock in the morning with a whirl of«nowan a falling thermometer, which filled tho air with flying particles of frost. With every hour tho storm increased in violence, stopping all railiTsaaSsaJamUle and causing total suspension of busineSs hi tho|towns along Its pathway. Every freight train on the lino of tho Union Pacific botweon Cheyenno and Rawlins was sidetracked |to await tho abatement of the storm. It was a hapless struggle for trains to buffet the storm, and it was deemed dangerous to cross olovations with moving trains.

The Cheyenne & Burlington track east of this city was blockaded with drifts of sand for several hundred yards from eight inches to three foet in depth. The sand was mixed with snow and packed in cuts on tho railway as hard as the original earth. Section hands with picks and shovels wore obliged to get to work to clear the obstruction.

On this lino a brakemau was lost near Sterling. Tho unfortunate man ventured on top of a car and was swept off by the wind. The train was stopped and backed to tho point where the aocldont r. —urred, but no trace of tho man could bo found.

At Cheyonne the galo had a velocity at no time during •wenty-fours of less than forty-oight miles an hour, rising at times to fifty-four miles an hour. Business was partially suspended and tho streets deserted. Th oity is well built and beyond tho levoling of a fow fences and electric-light polos thoro was no destruction of property. Th wind furrowed out the streets as though a freshet had dashed through thom and piled the sand in immense drifts on walks and against houses.
