A DEADLY CYCLONE
North St. Louis Caught In the Grasp of r.n Aerial Twister. IT CUT A WIDE SWATH Two Lives Were Lost and Probably Fifty Persons Were Injured In Tornado's Course. After Playing; Havoc on the MUsotui Side the Cyclone leaned Across the Iliver. St. Louis, Aug. 20. A tornado of small proportions but of extreme fury swept down upon the residence portion of North St. Louis, resulting in the death of one person, injury to probably fifty and damage to property estimated at $100,000. John Ellington was the only person killed, though among those injured there ere several whose hurts may terminate fatally. A shower passed over St. Louis ear lier in the day, but there had been no rain in North St. Louis. The sky had cleared and the atmosphere had become very murky and hot when citizens noticed a dark cloud approaching from the southwest. Suddenly, and without the slightest premonition, an arm seemed to shoot to the ground like a gigantic cable, twisting and turning. The end touched the ground at Nineteenth and Angelrodt streets, and with incredible swiftness and force, swept east along Angelrodt for ten blocks, then turned north and swept along Broadway, when it jumped eight blocks northeast to the foot of Breman street and the river, where considerable property along the river front was destroyed. The tornado then jumped to about the middle of the river and encountered a ferryboat, which was turned and tossed about, but was not sunk. Leaving the ferry, the capricious torando once more jumped and struck the Illinois shore near Madison, where it demolished several dwellings, the Leiderkranz hall and blew down a portion of the Madison cooper works, killing John Ellington. Severe, damage was done also to buildings ; in Venice and Granite City, which adjoin Madison, and a, number of. persons were injured.. . .. So quickly did. the tornado, sweep Jhrpugh JSIorth St Louis.that the citizens could scarcely comprehend what had happened, and in the stillness that followed the wind, cries were heard on all sides as terror-stricken persons ran. about the , streets, - Not a telegraph, telephone or f rolley pole was left, standing along the streets swept by . the twister, and trees were piled In heaps. The width of the tornado was about a bloc and a half, and houses were unroofed, window panes were generally demolished, several large manufactories partially demolished, and the streets littered high with debris. A Broadway trolley car containing eleven passengers was suddenly burled under six telegraph poles which crashed into the top and wrecked the car. The passengers had a remarkable escape from injury and only the motorman received slight bruises. Probably the heaviest loss suffered by a single concern which the destruction accomplished was at the Neidringhaus rolling mill. The plant covers two squares in extent. The big smokestack was blown down and half the plant was demolished, entailing estimated damage of $25,000. Six employes were injured in this plantA calm settled over the city immediately following the storm and no rain fell. Ambulances were rushed to the scene and fire departments responded from all directions. The storm was seen from Si. Louis proper and ambulances and. firemen were speeding on their way long before messages asking assistance were delivered by messengers. In St. Louis proper at the time there was not the slightest intimation of a windstorm. The sky had darkened and a brisk breeze blew for a short time as If heralding the approach of a summer showe-, and the intelligence that North St. Louis had been Invaded by a destructive tornado was received with great surprise. Not the slightest danage was done at the World's Fair grounds. The exposition Is situated over five miles from the seat of lae tornado and the wind was not felt there. Swept Across the River. Venice, 111., Aug. 20. The tornado that swept across the river from North St. Louis late yesterday killed one person here, injured ten others and caused considerable damage to property. ... The tornado was of short duration but was remarkably destructive In force. Mrs. Margaret C. Beal was killed by the falling debris of her home, which was blown to pieces. Fatal Cloudburst In Arizona. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 20. A cloudburst at Giobe, Ariz., resulted In seven deaths' and the destruction of much property. No Cause fcr th? Act Givsn. Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 20.
