THE CYCLONE’S FURY. Early Reports of Thursday Night's Disaster Confirmed. & Its Extent Even Greater than First Accounts Indicated—Fearful Loss of Life, as Yet Not Fully Determined, at Louisville. Many Yet Burled In the Debris—Other Places Suffered Severely, but. £

J .ouisvili,e, Ky., March 28.—Between eight and nine o’clock last night a tornado struck this city, from the southwest, northeastward, leaving death and destruction everywhere. Outside of the clearly defined lino its the citizens knew only of a heavy rain accompanied by a high wind. Soon came the -alarm of fire from a dozen different stations and the horror of the calmity began to dawn on the people. Great stone warehouses, halls of amusement, railroad stations and dwelling houses, all went down before the mighty powers'of the air. The storm soon passed -on, the clouds scattered, and the moon cast its light over «a sorely-stricken city. Relief parties were soon organised; the whole force of the fire department was at work. At this writing no definite statement can he made of the loss of life, but it is large. It is impossible that so wide a sweep of territory covered with ruined houses, with wreck of halls and buildings of every character does not contain many dead. Enough is known to show that Louisville has been visited by a most appalling calamity. The wrecked portion of the city lies between Eighteenth, Broadway, Seventh and Main streets, the destroying elements passing diagonally across the section, which is probable a mile square. At least two hundred house are in ruins. It is feared that at least two hundred lives are lost Probably the greatest loss of life occurred at the Falls City Hall, which was in the center of the tornado. In the lower rooms of the hall were fifty or seventy-five Children with their mothers and other relatives taking dancing lessons. There were at least 12» persons on the lower floors and sevensy^five more attending a lodge meeting on upper floors when the terrible wind swooped down upon the building. The entire structure in less than five minutes was a shapeless-mass of brick and mortar, burying two hundred helpless victims, of which number few escaped uninjured. Conservative estimates place the loss of life at this point at one hundred, while other reports indicate the number nearer two hundred. At three o'clock this morning thirty-five dead bodies had been taken from this ruin, and fifteen wounded and dying. Only those on the third floor had been reached, the room containing the dancing-school pupils and visitors not yet being opened. Immediately upon the burst of the cyclone the fire bells sounded and the police were at work. Within ten minutes a posse appeared at the Falls City Hall wreck. The walls of the adjoining houses were first propped, and then began the work of cutting through the heavy slate roof that covered all. At first work was difficult and laborious, on account of the immense multitude that

aurivuuacu iud w iwjv. At twelve o’clock the opening of a portion of the debris of the Falls City Hall caused a draught to penetrate the ruins, whereupon the smouldering fire broke out with tremendous fierceness. It spread rapidly and forced the workers to desert the pile. As Boon as the fire gained headway the groans of the imprisoned people became shrieks, and so great was the horror of the moment that the watchers grew frantic and screamed and ran about like wild, the terrible sufTeringS'which they wero unable to alleviate driving them to despair. Several lines of hose were soon throwing water on the frames, but it was more than an hour beforo work could be proceeded with, and then it was carried on with much difficulty on account of tho heat. Up to twelve o’clock only about thirty-; five dead bodies and twenty-five wounded and dying were taken from the wreck. The corpses were laid in the houses across the street and in Dougherty & Keenan’s undertaking shop oh the block below. At the lauer place people passed in and out, pne by one, to look at the bodies, hunting for friends and relatives. One man said he was looking for Louis Lapp, and the very first sheet lifted revealed the corpse of the person wanted. The mani covered his face, groaned and would have fallen had he not been sustained. At about balf-past eleven o’clock the room where the children were dancing was reached. Mr. Louis Simms. Jr.,of No. 1124 Market street, had for hours been moving about in agony of grief in front of that portion of the wreck, where this room had been, for his wife and four little children were there. When the room was reached, Mrs. Simms was the first, one found and she was fatally hurt. Then, within about fifteen minutes of each other, three of the Simms children were recovered. They were unconscious, and there is only a faint possibility of their- living. While the father was imploring the workers to get his other child fire broke out and work was suspended. The last man taken out alive before the’ flames started was John Hefiden of No. 2109 West Broadway, and just previous to that a woman, who was unable to give her name, was recovered. It was not possible to tell the extent of ♦.he injuries of either. After the fire had been extinguished, womem wore foirhd digging at the slate with their fingers, crazed with the ruin beneath. Every one did noble work. After an hour of ceaseless labor the first victim, Mrs. Sarah Kelly, was unearthed. Her body was found sitting in an upright position, her head bruised and one arm broken. She said that at the first quake a mad rush was made for the entrance. Women were knocked down and trampled upon in the mad haste to escape. Seeing the overwhelming jam at the door she remained behind. The last she saw of her friends was just before the floor gave in anct the ceiling fell. Tho work was continued, but none of those whom Mrs. Kelly said were near her could be found. The excavation was then moved from the rear of the building to the front, Where it was supposed the great crowd was- gathered. As soon as the roofing was- removed and the, mass of brick beneath, the first sight that met the eyes wasi any thing but hopeful. Ten women, looked in each others’ arms, wero drawn out of the debris, *11 de«i but on#, i&f, tUsses,

One part of the building was reserved for the dead, but the wounded were taken into the stores and houses on the opposite side of the street, where physicians and priests administered to souls and bodies. Along against the pathway of the storm, extending from Sixth to Tenth streets, and from Seventh to Eleventh, not a single building was left standing. Occasionally a massive stone or iron front still stood in the air, while the entire structure proper had been swept away. This morning it presented the most stupendous spectacle of disaster and ruin ever witnessed. In the course of the storm lay the prime tobacco market of the city, and to-day the warehouses almost to tho last one lay in ruins. They include the Kentucky, Pickett’s, Ninth-street, Falls City, Phoenix. Green Elver, Louisville, Enterprise, Central and Planters’. The destruction of tho Louisville and Ninthstreet warehouses could not possibly have been more complete. Thousands of hogsheads of tobaeco lay in the mass of brick and mortar, some exposed to view and others buried from sight beneath the debris. The Louisville Hotel, between Sixth and Seventh streets, was unroofed and otherwise wrecked, while the building west, occupied as a cigar store upon the first floor, and sleeping rooms upon the second end third, was razed entirely to the ground, not a single brick remaining in place, Tn the destruction of this house many lives were lost, principally of persons who occupied sleeping rooms there. Many of them were young girls employed at the hotel next door. Saloons and other available' places have been turned into hastily improvised morgues, where the bodies are taken as fast as recovered and left awaiting identification. Patrol wagons are being pressed into service as “dead wagons” to convey the corpses to tho designated places. . Eleventh street sceraed te serva as a kind - of flue for the storm, as all Intercepting objects its that line are practically reduced to nothingness. As it rushed down this street it carried with it the fronts of the buildings, which are mostly residences, on each side, leaving in many instances the furniture and other contents unmolested. Frequently from the center of some three-sided, dwelling the unbroken chandelier is still swinging.

Jefferson and-Main streets are almost in as ban condition as others, and wagons are carting away soiled and broken furniture from homos that were yesterday but are to-day no longer. The massive trees in the park on Jefferson street have been twisted and broken like rods, and lay crossed and piled upon each other. The storm district in Louisville is described as extending from Eighteenth to Seventh street, and from Main street to Broadway. This includes a territory about a mile square, and across this section the cyclone swept diagonally. Main street is the principal wholesale street of the city, and Market street, one of the leading retail streets, also lies within this district This street is ono string of stores for a distance of over two miles, extending from Preston street to Twenty-second. In nearly all the buildings there are families residing above the stores. The business section of the visited district runs south to about Walnut street and from there to Broadway it is a residence quarter, and many of the finest homes in the city are located in that place. There are also several large churches in the district The Onion Depot is on the river bank at the foot ef Seventh street at the mouth of the canal, and the Louisville bridge crosses the Ohio river at Fourteenth street The City Hall and other buildings are located in the quarter w here the damage was done, and the court-house is just outside of it, on Jefferson, between Fifth and Sixth streets. The Falla City Hall, which was destroyed, is on the south side of Market between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The village of Tarklattd, which is said to have been laid waste, is a residence suburb, which lies at the southwest corner of Louisville, just outside th6 city limits.
