Fully 100 corpses wieo as many man
gled people 40 acres of piles of bricks
shivered planks scattered heaps of
honsohold goods dead horses through
which tho wind had drivou sharp splin
ters of board smouldering llres whero
houses stood Monday and in tho midst
of it all shivered trees as bare of leaves
as ever they wore in tho middle of win
tor and for tho most part stripped baro
of bark until thoy losemblod tho ghosts
of what thoy had been 48 hours ago
This is what tho storm wrought in tho
space of threo minutes upou tho town of
Now Richmond
There never was a cyclono that made
a cleaner sweep ot what lay in its path
than tho one of Monday evening In
tho business portion of tho tjhwn abso
lutely not ono building was left stand
ing above tho cellar windows Every
thing above a foundation wall was
shaved as clean as though it had been
cut with a plane Enorinous iron safes
wero blown into tho middle of tho
street and tho largest safe in the town
was carried ucioss one street and half
way over tho square beyond
Work nfit Funnel Shaped Cloud
Tho day had been warm nnd sultry
nnd during tho latter pait of tho after
noon heavy banks of clouds had hung
upon the eastern horizon but nothing
serious wns anticipated until a fow
minutes before si x oclock a diuk blue
cloud with edges of a pale green was
seen rapidly approaching from tho
southwest In a minute a long tunnel
Was seen dropping toward the ground
nnd then with u savage roar tho cloud
swept down upon the doomed town A
circus had been exhibiting timing tho
afternoon and tho streets wero full of
strangers and as the awful cloud bore
swiftly down there was a mad rush for
cellars doorways or any plaeo that
promised safety Some of tho crowd
reached a refuge and thoso who did not
are among the dead It will bo several
days before the number of dead in Now
Richmond is accurately known and it is
doubtful if tho entire number of fatali
tios will ever bo chronicled In tho
path of tho storm just to tho northeast
and southwest of the city wero scat
tered farm houses and wherever they
were struck by that awful wind thero
was nothing left but a pile of boards
and twisted rafters How many wero
killed in theso houses will not bo known
for a long timo
1roperty Loss Is Total
It is impossiblo to estimate tho prop
erty loss but it is total in tho business
part of tho town and to mnko tho blow
moro severe not ono policy of tornado
insurance had been written for tho
place St Paul nnd Minneapolis Clnp
powa Falls and other places have sent
in bountiful supplies aud thero is no
suffering for food or necessities but tho
business of the town is utterly wiped
out of existence and not ono man in tho
place will bo able to resume business
Tho destruction is so completo that thero
is absolutely nothing to bo purchased in
tho town not a box of sardines a
pound of crackers or a pair of shoes
Tho work of searching for tho dead
was earned on during tho night as well
as it could be done in a drizzling ruin
and with tho aid of a fow lanterns It
was slow work and after dork tho result
of tho work amounted to practically
nothing Tho police of St Paul under
tho leadership of Chief Goss who havo
guarded tho ruins and preserved order
during tho day wero relioved by com
pany H of tho Tenth Wisconsin bat
talion from Chippewa Falls under tho
command of Captain Hartwell For
tho balance of tho timo the militia will
bo in control
Disposition of tho Dead
As they were recovered tho bodies
wero brought to tho Catholic or Con
gregational churches Thenco thoy are
to bo taken to tho cemetery oxcopt in a
few cases whero homes still stood in
which tho remains can bo kept for a
few hours during which tho final trib
ute of lovo could be tendered by tho be
reaved families Nuisesand physicians
from St Paul wero of great help all
night and day and when tho day closed
all tho seriously injured weio believed
to have been cared for Thoso whoso
injuiies weio soiious but whoso chances
for recoveiy wero believed to bo good
were quickly sent to tho hospitals of St
Paul and Minneapolis wheio better enro
can be given them Tho slightly in
jured and thoso whoso cases seoni hope
less were kept here and were gnen the
best attention possible Tho list of dead
