FURTHER DEATHS.
National Associated Preen.
DBS MOINKB , Iowa , June 18 A
tornado swept through central Iowa
late last , night , the pith of it running
from northwest to southeast , from
twenty miles north of Dea Moinos.
The town of Grinnoll waa atruck by
it , and reports from there are that
half of the town is in ruins. Some
twenty or thirty people are killed ,
and over one hundred wounded , both
the large buildings of Iow& college
were bliwii to the ground. A train
of cara was blown from the iraok in
the vicinity of Grinnell. A special
train of physicians and relief force
have gone to the scene.
A RUINED CITY.
IOWA CITT , Iowa , Juno 18. Dr.
Peck and Superintendent Kirnball , of
the Rock leland road , have just ar
rived from Grinnoll , and state that
the number of deaths will reach fifty
and there are marly ono hundred
ivoandod. The resident portion of
the city and the buildings of the Iowa
college are completely demolished.
The loss to propar y will reach half n
million dollaro. At Malcolm , seven
miles east of Grinnoll , many bouses
wuro blown down , and iu the suburbs
of the village seven persons were
killed. There has been fullj x > .ae hun
dred Jives lost in the path of the tor
nado , which extends through Central
Iowa in southeasterly direction to a
point almost twenty-five miles south
east of Grinnell. The storm began
near Amos , Iowa.
THE WAKNIM ! .
MAUSHALLTOWN , la. , Juno 18 ,
The most terrific disaster iu the his-
tiry of Iowa is ono of which the now
desolate town of Grinnell is the vic
tim. The peculiar aspect of thu aky
was a matter of common remark on
the streets yesterday afternoon , An
hour or moro before sunset the north
ern sky hung with a conical down
ward pointing clouds the like of
which none had over been scon. After
sunset , and oven after darkness was
gathering , the western horizon and
western aky half way to the x.anith
was lurid and
BllILUANr AND UNKAUTHLY.
Almost ere the brilliant apparition
had disappeared the storm broko. It
was accompanied by a roaring like
thunder , or perhaps moro like a rum
bling of a dozen heavy freight trains.
Chimneys , trees , houses and. barns
began to fly like leaves. The rain
came in floods as if a water spout had
burst , which in fact was probably the
cause , and wind and rain and blinding -
ing ightning continued so furious for
nearly half en hour that tt was
scarcely safe for those whoso roofs
ntayod over them to opentho doora.
But the damage was done in a very
minutes and probably not moro than
five. The northwestern corner of the
town
WAS LAID FLAT.
The path of the storm was compar
atively narrow , but scarcely anything
was left standing within its limit. At
first it entered the town from the
west and moved a little north from
oust until it reached Main street ,
then it curved to the southeast , whip
ped up the college building and sev
eral houses on the cast aide of the
town. It then iscomcd to bound into
the air passing over Mr. Snow and
Mr. Perry's farm. It crossed the 0.
R. I , & P/ about a mile and half
east of this city whore it met the west
bound freight , which it
COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED ,
Aa it pasted southeast across the
country it demolished farm houses ,
fences and barns. It struck Malcolm
in iia north half , and wrought de
struction as complete as In Grinnoll.
The track of the atorm center , as it
crossed the city , averaged two blocks
in width. The damage outside that
narrow track was comparatively
small , although the tempest in this
respect eoemed us freakish as light
ning. Most of the buildings wcr *
crushed like egg sholln , and reduced
to uplintera , A few were lifted bodily
and turned around. The marvelous
loss of lifo WAB not greater than was
the storm , which came up with such
a roar that many betook themselves to
collars.
THIS WAVED THEM
as their houses disappeared from over
their heads. Kveu the foundation walls
iu many cases were brushed off even
with the aurlaco of the ground. A
considerable number of cows nnd
horses were killed. Fowls had their
feathers entirely stripped off and tlio
earth appeared as if beaten and lashed
with indescribablefury. .
