DEATH IN THE WIND. SUHday Pleasure Bookers Annihilate >d by a Oyclone.An Excursion St emmet Capelzed on Uki Pepin, MIiidm and a Hundred nod Fifty Urea Lost—Other Locall ties Visited. a_ Lake-City, Minn., July 14. —What will probably prove to have been the most disastrous cyclone that has ever struck this community passed over this city at nine o’clock yesterday evening inflicting the loss of life of perhaps one or two hundred people, and damaging property to an extent that at this writing can not be estimated. Your correspondent Was visiting friends in Lake City and was sitting in the yard when what appeared to he an ordinary elee> trie storm was noticed condidg up from the west. In half an hour the whole heaven's were converted into a complete canopy of lightning which was watched with interest by the brave citizens of the little village and with fear by the timid women and children. A little before dark a terrific wind, struck the place and your reporter Sougbt the shelter of the house just in time to escape be- . ing caught under a huge tree that came crashing down against the house. Windows Wefe Closed instantly, and iionb too sooii, for the cyclone was ilflon ils and trees and ifotise'S were fast feeiiig demolished in its pith. While my wild,in fear afld trembling Sought the seclusion and protection Of the cellar, id company with the ladies of the hofOse; I assisted in closing shutters and making preparations for the worst that could be expected, while trees were heard to be crashing down and missiles were striking against the house. The building proved strong enough to weather the blast, and in half an hour the worst of the hurricane had passed: As soort as the trees had been Cleared a Way front the front of the house; your Correspondent started out and soon learned that a horrible calamity had Visited the place; that Was not equaled by the St. Cloud cyclone several years! agcl. People began to gather on the Streets, and in a few moments the news was scattered about that an excursion boat with over two hundred people on it was capsized in the middle of Lake Pepin. The boat proved to be the steamer Seawing, which came down the lake from Diamond Bluff, a small place about seventeen miles north of here, on an excursion to the encampment of the first regiment National Guard of Mitthesotd which is being held a mile below this city. The steamer started back on the homCWard trip about eight o’clock, add although there wCre sighs Of aii approaching Storm it was not considered in any way serious and flo danger was anticipated. Ae boat was crowded to its fullest capacity—about one hundred and fifty men, women and children from Redwing and Diamond Bluff being on board and about fifty people on a barge which was attatched to the side of the steamer. When about opposite Lake City the boat began to feel the effects of the storm but the officers kept on the way. The storm Increased as the boat continued up the lake, and in fifteen minutes was at its height

bearing Central Park, about two miles above Lake City, the steamer was at the mercy of the waves, which were now washing over the boat, and all was in Confusion, '.the boat momentarily ran on to a bar, and the barge was cut loose and the steamer again set adrift in the lake, A number of those on the bargee jumped and swam ashore. As the barge also floated again into the deep water those on board saw the steamer as it was carried helplessly out into the middle of the lake, and as they were being tossed about on the raging waters. They were horrified a moment later to observe the steamer, and its cargo of a hundred and fifty people precipitated into the lake. Those on the barge remained there until they were drifted nearer to shore, and they were all rescued or swam ashore. Among them were two ladies who were brought to the beach by strong and ready swjtenmers. There were about fifty in all on that one barge. The events that transpired on the steamer after it had separated from the barge are probably most clearly related |>y those who were rescued from it about half an hour ago. It is now twelve o’clock midnight. As soon as the storm had begun to affect the progress of the boat Captain Weathern gave instructions to run the boat in to the Wisconsin shore, but it was too late, for wind and waves began to wash into the boat and fill its lower decks, and while the hailstones, as large as henseggs, came down on the heads of the poor and helpless creatures who were huddled together on the top a huge wave struck the craft on the side. At the same moment a terrific blast of wind more horribly forcible than the others came up and carried the boat over. All of the people on board, one hundred and fifty or more, were thrown into the water, some being caught underneath and others thrown into the waves. The boat turned bottom upwards and only about twenty-five people were observed to be floating on the surface. These eaught hold of the boat and climbed upon the upturned bottom, those first securing a position assisting the others. As a flash of lightning lighted up the surface of the lake the sight of an occasional white dress of a drowning woman or child was observable, but it was impossible for those who witnessed the horrible'sight to lend any aid. Those remaining began calling for help from the shore as soon as the storm began to abate, and in half an hour lights were observed flitting about on the pier at Lake City, opposite which point the upturned steamer had now been driven. Before help could reach them, however, the poor creatures who yet remained to tell the horrors of ae night, had submitted to another battle with the elements. With no word of warning, and as they were just beginning to hope that they would be taken off by the citizens of Lake City, the boat again turned over on its side, and again all ot the twenty-five remaining souls were hurled into the water. Of these several were drowned before they could be brought to tho boat by those who succeeded in remaining afleat, and again securing a hold on the boat’s side. As th 5 men hung on to the railing, in danger each moment of being washed away by the waves, one man observed the foriss of two women wedged ip between s stationary seat and the boat's side, both pale in death, the lightning gleams lighting up their unturned '• ■ ' .'f

The general surface of the State Is mountainous, although there are many large prairies and man]' fertile valleys. Irrigation will do much toward making the prairies fertile There are no large rivers. Tbe central portion is a laf ge watershed, the rivers and creeks of the north flowing Into the Missouri; those of the west into the Snake riper and thence into tlie Pacille;; those of the southwest into the Green river, thence to the Colorado and into the Gulf Of California, and those of the southwest into the Platte, their waters eventually flowing fnto •' the Gulf of Mexico. a The scenery iis grand, the famous Yellowstone National Park being located in the northwest corner. The cattle industry is large, and is growing rapidly. There are many valuable gold and silver mines. Iron and cosl abound, and petroleum is found In considerable quantities.
