Clarksville, nt which p'ace one house was blown down and an unknown woman killed, and Royal Oak, where ThomnsRrick and his wife were burned to death in the ruins of their home and several others injured. As far as can be learned this is the total number of casualties. From smaller places throughout the state stories of minor damages are coming in. Crops of all kinds sullered considerably, hundreds of acres of orchards wore destroyed, farm houses, barns arid out-buildings were demolished or haily damaged, fences, telegraph, telephone and electric light wires were broken down and trees were uprooted. Many head of 6tock were als. killed. Although no accurate estimate can be made, the total loss resulting from the storm will foot up to several hundred thousand dollars. It was rumored today that the village of Saline in Washtanawa county, ten miles from Ypsilanti, had been wiped out. As the wires were down in that direction for a tune it was impost-ibl? to learn the tru'h of the reports, but later information showed that they wero false. Yi'sila.vti. Mich., April 13. This city is today iu a la rentable condition and business is sustethled owning to tho havoc: caused by l-.-t night's storm. Almoet all the principal buein.'se b'ocks, stores, opera house, postoflice, ho'e! und several 1 wwllins were either demolished or bad'y damaged. Houses were lifted from their founditions, buddings wero unroofed and walls tumbled into tlie streets a mas of ruins. In Home places the debris .s piled lifteen feet high. Ail tho electric lik-ht and other wires were blown down and tonight the citv is in darkness. The heavy rain which followed the storm added largely to the damage of the stock of good? left exposed in the wrecked stores. The mr&l re ? arkah e thin,' in connection with the storm is ti e lack of fatal or serious accidents. There were many escapes. So fur as known not a life will be lost ap a result of the ftorni. Roughly estimated the total los is between 100.000 and I'll), 000, divided ud among a large number of t eroti, principal among whom are the following: Cleary business coücge, partially destroyed, long 'Jö.OOtl; open house, oniy fr nt w&ll left stand. ng. damaged 13,00.); Hawkins' house, partial y collapsed. :rb)0; Curtis carriage factory, $20,010; Union block, slightly damaged, !ofs small ; V.

DESTRUCTION IN KANSAS. Report from Vnrlmn Towns A Number Ileported Killed. K.N8s Citv, Mo., April 12. As communication gradually becomes opened up with the small towns and hamlets through Kansas and Missouri which wero cyclone swept ye:erday, and us the news, always making additions to the lists ot lives and property, is received, tho real extent of tho etorm becomes known. It is impo-sibls to get the names of the victims, however, and in most instances thu accounts of destruction wrought are incomplete. Even in toino daces where communication h is been restored news is not ava.luble, the stricken citizens being engaged with the important duty of caring for the injured, in the care of the dead and in tho putting together what was once their happy homes. Fifteen peoplo are known to have been killed, thirty or forty Were Injured, wliilo numberless houses ns well as smaller property wero destroyeu. Much sttk was also killed. Fruit trees were broken and twisted and buy e tacks wero scattered in all instances and some anxiety is felt lest there be a shortage in fodder. Iu Kansas the area of the (dorm was bounded by thu three tiers, of counties from the eastern border, nearly every county suffering more or less. Montgomery county in the extreme southeastern portion eullered the most. Darker, a hamlet ten miles south of Independence, was almoKt totally destroyed. Many bouses were demolished and many others were hsdiy wrecked. Walnut, a village in Crawford county, r.lso in the southeastern poilion of the state, suffered severely in wrecked houses, but there was no loss of ' life. A meager dispatch from that place stated that it is iearel that the loss of life in outlying country districts has been great. A dispatch from Hiawatha states that the storm Las created uraat havoc throughout Drown county, in the northeastern rortion of the state. Several towns in the county were more or less damared and many lives are report. -d lost. The cyclone struck Marlett, Kas., about 5 o'clock, going from eouthwest to north west, and leaving much debris in its wake. Nobody was seriously hurt here, though the houses of Walter llawley and Henry Sykes, among others, were comp etely demolished. The towns of Willis, Everett arid Rowhattan were partly demolished and several people injured, though their names aro unobtainable. Near Robinson F V. Rolton was htruck by ligbtningand killed. At Mascotah several houses were unroofed and a Mrs. Rnrls and her baby were b Hy injured. That part of the eyelono which struck Walnut, Kas.. continued northward, and, entering Missouri, struck successively the small towns of Mayview, 1'aga City, and HigginsvlCe, where, after doing considerable damage, spent in force. At St. Joseph a cyclone working from wast to east, and covering a strip of country two miles wide and live miles loug, caused considerable dam

age. Several people were killed, among them a Mrs. Ward. Her husband was Beriously injured, a0 was also John Shelton. An unknown woman was also killed. Most of the people saw the storm coming in time to get into the cyclone caves, and escaped injury. The loss here wi l amount to thousands of dollars. The, damage to crops over both states will be great. Fortunately in most plares in Kansas the corn had not been planted; had it beeo it would eurely Lave been washed out. A dispatch from Ilizginsville, Mo , says: Business is at a complete standstill and much confusion prevails. Hundreds of people from . adjoining places came into town this morning to view the destruction that was wrought by the cyclone. A performance was in progress in the opera hous when the storm struck the city and for a moment it eeemed as though a panic would result and many people ba killed. By the heroic e.'Iorts of several men in the audience and the ushers the people were linal y made to assume some sort of order and all soon passed out cf the building without nnyone having been seriously hurt. Several, however, were fdightly bruised in the rush and three or four women fainted. The doctors in the town promptly got to work alter the storm struck and rendered valuable eervicas among the injured. At Reaumont. Kas., the e&tne story of destruction is reported. While nobo ly was killed there were several injured and several houses badly damaged, some beinar completely demolished. Some stock also suiTered.

The down train at ti o'clock this evening brings the news that the town of Lobinaonvil'.e. ten miles nortti of here, es completely destroyed by a cyclone it 4:.'10 o'clock: this evening. Not a house is left iu the town of about 3u0 inhabitant?, and as a finishing touch to the destructive horror the lamps that were burning in the stores, owin? to the intense darkntss. sot the bio wn-down houses on lire and a 1 aro in ashes. The depot was not spared. Ihe night operator's wife was killed and the day Operator' wife was badly injured. All wires are down and no communication can bo had save by way of Yicksburg and Jackgon. The cycloue swept the country wept and east ot the fated village an 1 killed many people, mo-tlv colored. One colored school house on Indi.tn creek one mile west of Robinsonvilie wr.a swept oir and about twenty live children are killed and missing. The teacher, a woman, who narrowly escaped with her pools about three weaks ago in the cyclone at Tunica, was killed. The people ot Tunica are trying to go to the assistance of the Millering neighbors, but so far have been unable to get a train. Some are preparing to leave on band cars. The night ie intensely dark and It is raining. No dau.Age at Tunica. R. iihnsoxvii.ii;. Miss., April 12. This town waa wiped o.T the face of the earth this afternoon by a double visitation ol wind aud re. Owing to the fact thit the derot aod telegraph cflke was wrecked rod the wires blown dywn tor a u.ile. the detai.s of the ditister are nieaiire but enough is known to show that north Mistdsoippi has Leun visited with a second calarni'y ss appftlling as the one that laid waste Tunica and Kellys a short time azo. So far as is known the only white person killed was Mrs. I'mma Lu-k, wife of 11 C. Linie, night o;.er:itor of the Illinois Central raiiroad, who wus in the depot when the cyclone struck the town. Lourena. daughter-in-law of Mrs. Oeorge W. Foster, was injured about the arms, and it is said that twelve or tifteen negroes were killed. T'.VENTY-FIVE KILLED IN MISSOURI. Ilcpurta rroni V irion, Omirtera of the. Stute (iriiw Worse. St. Doi ts, April iL'. "Have we yet heard the woreit " is the ;uastion that comes to one's mind, as reports are received of the ravages of Tutsday night's storm. As telegraph and telephone wires are repaired and communication once more restored, reports begin to come in of death and destruction, each one seemingly more fearful than the predece-sor. Wires all over are sti 1 proptratrd. but enough bi been learned to show that no section of the state escaped the storm's fury. Sa!e::i. Stanberry, Steelville, Roila, Daga Citv and other places report not only destruction of property, but loss of life. At Coudray, a small mining viiago, great havoc was wr ug'nt. The latest ri'i'ort from there shows 6ix killed outright, three havo pince died of their injuries, nnd of the fifty or more injured it is thought at lea.t twelve will die. Nevada, Mexico, and other places report trees, out-housc. fences and roots blown away, the damauo bfing emmll to individuals, but aggregating many thousand in each place. The same is true of southern and cntral Illinois. Suringlield, Ouiney, Jackson ville.Danvi.le.

The property loss will be great, however, aggregating over ?10').000. I'rostration of wires also prevented, to a great extent, the giving of orders by dispatchers, aud consequently on saveral roads only mr.il trains were run and these very slowly. Tho death list for th state now (10 p. ra.) reaches over twenty-live, and it cannot ho foretold bow much it mav ho increased as communication is re-established. A heavy etcrm of wind and rain swept over north Texas last night. In Dallas several buildings were blown down, but no one killed. In Paris, Hiilsboro, Drooketon aud other piares houses were blown

down. Tho only casuality in the f alb of thoFtorm, as far as reported, was near Muskogee, Ind. T., where a man nam ed Robertson and his child were killed by a house blowing on them.
