CnirAOo May 3a. One of the great-
est disasters of recent years over-
whelmed thu city of St Louis lniit
night in the shape of a tornado
which begun shortly after fi o'clock
and for thirty minutes toro its awful
way through tho oity with a velocity
of over eighty mllos an hour.
It seems curtain that the number of
dead and wounded will amount to
fully 1(KI0; and the damage done to
millions of dollars.
In addition to those who were killed
in their liousos and in t ho struct hun-
dreds of dead are beneath the walers
of thu Mississippi river. Of all tho
htcomurs on thu levee when the storm
broke out but one is now afloat. All
the others have gone down in many
instances overy soul on board being
lost and in others not over two or
throu being able to runuh a place of
safety.
Among the boats destroyed Is thu
excursion steamer Great Republic one
of the largest steamers on the lower
river. Not a man escaped from her
and It was said she whs crowded with
oxoursioniotn when thu storm came.
The. center of the city is a wreck.
Muuy buildings have boen demolished
and o'hers pa.-liully wrecked. The
streets are utterly impassible to street
cars and in many places progress on
foot is a matter of great dlilloulty
To add to tho horrors of the night
the oleotric light plants wcro rendered
incapable of service anil the gas lamps
wuru also shut oil" leaving the city in
totul darkness.
Klre also broke out In suveral por-
tions of the city and the flru depart-
ment was unable to miiko un effective
light becuuhu of the choked-up condi-
tion of the streets und the large
number of firemen who wore engaged
in the work of rescuing the dead und
wounded.
Tho only information from the
city until aftor midnight was sent by
tho ngont of tho Associated l'resswlio
managed to reach an outlying telo
graph otllue and send u brief dispatch
rm follows:
"Tornado blowing at the rate of
over eighty miles an hour struck St.
Louis and raged for half an hour with
grunt fury and ll8 result hnndreds
of lives lire lost on botli sides of tho
rlvor. Many buildings are blown
down and many river steamers sunk
with all on board. It Is impossible at
the present time to estimate the num
ber of lives lost as the hospitals nre
filled with tho Injured and the morgue
U llllod with the slain while freat
numbers of thu dead and maimed are
lying iimong tho ruins in all direc-
tions. ItaiU llrlileo 1'nrtly Wrecked.
"A portion of the east end of the

St. Louis. Ma May 2. Death and
destruction reigned supreme in St.
Louis and vicinity last night as u re-
sult of the most terrible storm that
e.er visited this section of the coun-
try. So widespread is the destruction
in both St. Louis and East St. Louis
that it is impossible to even estimate
the amount of the damage and loss of
life. Iluildlngs of every description
nre in ruins. The storm broke out
about 5 o clock in the afternoon after
u most oppressively hot day and rain
began to full. It soon developed Into
a (ieree thunder storm with the wind
from the east. A little later the wind
gained a velocity of eighty miles an
hour driving the rain before it and
tearing oil loose signs chimneys cor-
nice und everything in its way. "Mirny
buildings of every description were
demolished and others set on fire by
lightning and crossed wires. Tho lire
department responded to fourteen
alarms.
The streets were full of peoplo go-
ing home from work and a panic en-
sued us soon as the storm broue. Men
were pluked up and linrled against
the buildings horses and carriages
were ent liylng here and there uud
falling wires full of deadly fluid added
to the horror of the scene. Suddenly
the wind veered around to the west
and uuiitpletcd tho destruction. It Is
asserted by some of those who have
tiavurncd the down-town part of the
ct'y that iliere ure but few buildings
In St. Liu is that have not suffered in
some wiiy from the storm.
Tin wiigon-way of the Kads bridge
on the East St Louis side Is a cruiii-
blln mass of mortar und stone and
puns of the tower and pier No. 1 were
also torn away. Thousands of dol-
lars will not cover the wreckage.
The roof of the Republican conven-
tion hull was blown off aud a twenty-

St. Lon: Mo. Muy 9S The tor-
nado proper was preceded by u llorco
blow from the east Strong aud
steadily the wind came and then it
swelled to a hurricane nnd there were
three distinct nttncUs which ripped
up roofs and commence J the general
destruction which followed. When
this wind met one which vas coming
from the southwest the tornado was
born nnd returning bognn its work
of destruction.
It struck St. Louis on tilts southwest
at a point just west of 'rower Urove
park nnd trnversed In a northeasterly
direction till it reached (li'and avenue.
From thore it followed Mill Creek val
ley clear to the river veering some to
the north when it reaohed Tenth
street. At the levee it swung around
ulmost ut u right angle and swept
straight up tho rlvor beyond Venice
and Madison where it veered to the
east again. Judging from the reports
of the greatest damage done the path
of the storm was on nu avarnge of ten
or twelve blocks in width..
Tho worst damage was dnuo in a
path about six blocks wide extending
eastward from Orand avonuo to
Tenth street From Lufayette avenue
on the soutli to the railroad tracks on
tho north about every other block
the wind seemed to reach cut
and crush a few buildings and
unroof residences outside of its
main path. Every wire along
Choteau avctiuo from Urand avenue
east to Twelfth street was down and
tho poles and their heavy freight of
cables wcro scattered along the street.
All streets.from Park avenue to Cho-
teau were In n similarcoHilltiou. None-
of them were passable with a horse or
vehicle and walking was a difficult
and dangerous experiment.

The storm struck just north of tho
East St. Louis elevator and passed up
the levee in a not thcastorly direction
along the same path us the memorable
cyclone of March 7 la?l. In its course
it struck the Rig Four freight house

The top of the bridge was knocked

and tho horses were piled up on the
railway near the abutment. Hun-
dreds of cars are rolled from the
tracks on the Soutli side and ltroad-

The Martcll house witli all Its

headed organizer.
Judge Rlckpl of Alva says it was tbe
first convention that ever got the best
of him and the judge has presided
over a good many. Had he been fur-
nished with a heavy silver gavel the
result might have been different but
the opera house m.Ruager would have

caught the erowd by his firm but ur-
bane manipulation of the gavel. Ha-
gan would rather be In a convention
than cat and he is considered Ilia
biggest cater along the pellucid Cot
tonwood.
A vote of thanks was extended Hon.
Ed L Dunn for his efficient services n
chairman of tho territorial eentral
committee. Ed is dosorvlng aud Is a
good fellow at heart but he mixes
with a jaundiced crowd.
Jim Keaton has convictions and lie
stands by them. Keaton Is wotl in
formed on public questions nnd lie is
not bashful in giving voice to what lie
believes is just and right.
E. Uco Gulhrio can hold up his end
wherever you put him. Uttlhrle Is al
ways good-humored and roady-tongued
and there is no danger of him being
lost in a big crowd or a tumultuous
convention.
Oklahoma can boast of some of the
most active and untiring political
lighters and organizes in tho terri-
tory. She also has somo of the mean-
est. Will Ebcy and Taz Upshaw can
bo placed in the former class. ISbey
never allows tho grass to grow under
his feet and Upshaw Is quick and dis-
cerning. Tho list of delegates to the
Chicago convention is duo In a large
measure to tho work oi bbcy and Up-
shawr Upshaw of Oklahoma City said but
little on the floor of the convention
but he mado his actions count. Up-
shaw believes in harmony uud straight
Domocratlc principles yet ho uan
fight to the last. His unceasing work
previous to and dutlug tho convon
tions kept down much personal ani-
mosity and bad feeling. Taz can con-
gratulate himself that his slates are
never broken. Upshaw is all right.
Eight or ten Oklahoma Town pastors
attended the convention and enjoyod
the proceedings Immensely.
.There breathes no more loyal Demo-
crat In the union than Joe King the
able and efficient receiver of the Perry
laud office. Mr. King ontorcd the
arena as a candidate for dulegato to
Chicago and was jumped on by envi-
ous politicians because he was an office
holder. His stock wus high but rather
than prec'pitato a light Mr. Klug
withdrew his name. Very few men
possessing his gifts would do that.
Colonol R IS. Forrest was downed by
the Canadian delegation as delegate to
Chicago but lie was much in evidence
on tho floor of the convention. Forrest
is a rattling good parliamentarian and
a Btnooth organizer and Mr. Mitchell'
victory is due in a largo measure to
Forrest's self-denial and skillfu-Hiugl-J
neering.
The selection of Hon. Tumplu Hous-
ton of Woodward as one of tho dale-
gates to the national convention does
honor to Okluhomu and will do honor
to the convention. Mr. Houston in
the only eon of Sam Houston presi
ueni oi tue icxas republic and u
Dologato Pcndelton who seconded his
nomination put it: "a distinguish! il
son o' an illustrious sire." Mr. Hous-
ton is modest and retiring yot withal
is a gonial mixer aud a grauious eon-
vcrslonalist He is cultured and well
read well acquainted with public
affaire and thu Loader predicts ho
will be heard from in tho Chicago con-
vention if the territories nre given
half a chance.
Tho following additional resolutions
were adopted by tho convention:
'Whereas. The Hon. It. P. Illand of
Missouri has for tho last twouty years
advocated tho free and unlimited coin-
age of silver in the halls of congress ot
the United states aud
Wheres Missouri will present the
name of Hon R P. Illand to the Chi-
cago convention for president of the
United States therefore be it resolved
that Oklah jma territory having an
abiding faith in tho ability integrity
and honesty of the Hon. R P. illand
endorse his name for president of the
United States and instruct our dele-
gates at Chicago to use all fair and
honorable means to secure his nomi-

A free homos resolution offered by
Col. Forrost of El Reno was adopted.
Attorney-General Qalbralth was not
a delegate but he poseeesed all the en-
thusiasm of the most enthusiastic.
Gal Is a good follow to know.
