Houses and Business Buildings Are Crushed to Earth Like So Much Paper Two Women Hurt. Prince Frederick, Md., Sept. 22. Leaving in its wake a trail of wreckage, a tornado swept across this town late Sunday and, during the brief two minutes that it lasted, did damage that will reach into thousands of dollars. Houses and' stores were unroofed, huge trees uprooted and, as though in the grip of a giant hand, were hurled more than three hundred feet; while small outhouses were lifted bodily into the air and , crushed against the ground like so much paper. Luckily the path of the storm was not wide, being a bare hundred feet, and it struck the business section, leaving the residential section intact. Had it not been for this, it is thought the loss of life would have been large. As it was, few persons were on the streets and those who were out had ample warning to get to safety. No one was injured, but narrow escapes from falling trees and timbers were many. The roof of the courthouse was torn entirely off and every chimney on it blown down, leaving large gaps for the downpour that followed a few minutes after the tornado. The town hall was also badly damaged while several of the largest stores were unroofed and their contents badly damaged by both wind and rain.
