TEN PERSONS ARE KNOWN TO BE KILLED

Storm Worst In History of New Orleans—Velocity of Wind Was 86 Miles An Hour. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 30.—Wireless advices from New Orleans at 1:30 o’clock Thursday morning say that ten persons were killed and one hundred and fifty injured by the hurricane in New Orleans. Property damage was estimated at above one million dollars. The famous French market section was partially wrecked. New Orleans, Sept. 29.—Five persons are known to be dead and many injured and property loss reaching into the millions has been caused tonight by the most severe gulf storm in the history of the city. A gale with a velocity of 86 miles an hour swept the city at 6 o’clock tonight, demolishing scores of buildings, stripping the roofs from hundreds of other structures and strewing the streets with broken glass and debris. At 7:30 p. m., a rising barometer gave evidence that the storm was subsiding, the center passing to the northwest of New Orleans.
