ST. PAUL , Minn. , Juno 10. A storm of wind nnd ruin , which In some sections do- yclopod Into a veritable cyclone , laid waite tlio aouthorn central portion or this atato late yesterday afternoon , and It will bo several days before the exkmtot the disaster will bo known. Jackson , Martin , Farlbaultand Dluo Earth counties scorn to buvo boon the scene , nl though It was storming at the tltno proity much all ever the stato. These counties HUfforod so much moro that other sections bavo boon given llttlo thoucbt today. The cyclone bogau to form near Jnnk- ou , ID Jackson county , and after sweeping nerois Martin Mid Fanboult counties was scattered near Wolli , close to the boundary ol Freeborn county. Its course was to the northeast at first , but it later took n sudden iwccp to the south and disappeared below Wells , which Is almost directly east of Jack- ' Knnrinous Logs of Life. The loss of Ufa Is largo , some estimates being as high as 103. It soeras pobablo that forty or llfty lives have boon destroyed by ho fury of the storm , but the exact figures cannot bo given tonight. Everything In the path of the storm was swept from the face of the earth , houses and barns bom < ? splin lercd nnd trees nnd telegraph poles snapped off Ilko pipe atoms. A houvy rain storm broke nt half past , 4 o'clock and before that had passed awny the clouds began to gather. In all its torrlblo blackness the terrible looking cuno put In its appearance , tind as it whirled across the country It licked up houses , earns trees , crocs ana people everything that came in Us path. Mutiy houses that wcro but partially destroyed covered the mangled remains of Iho former occupants. Timbers \vcro strewn along the railroad tracks , BO that where traffic was not Interfered with oy the washouts it was blocked by the wrecks of buildings nnd trees on the tracks. Nearly all the trains through th soulhorn portion of the stuto were delayed , and in man v cases the delay was duu moro to the wrecks than to the Hoods. Snicil by n rini.li of Lightning. Last nleht ono of tuo freight trains which pulled out , of Mankuto , lifter running n few miles ftom that city , discovered u lingo ob- mruction across the truck. It proved to bo a house that had been blown across the track , nail the engine was .almost touching it when It stopped , u iluiU of lightning l.twlng re vealed Its presence In time to save another wreck. The train hands found half a dozen people 1 } Ing among iho broken Umbers , nil seriously and some probably fatally hurt. The injured persons were talton to the near est housu and cared for. The cyclone had taken the building from Its foundation , some Ulbtanco off , and dragging the wreck along had left It u.on the truck as found. Along the Milwaukee road from Jackson to Minnesota Luke the accuo Is ono of dovas tutlon. Not every housa wits wrccKoa , out GO ninny are destroyed tbat the sconu Is pltl- lul. This section U one of the richest In the Rtnto and ono of the most thickly settled of the agricultural sections. Wrecks ot houses and barns and torn up forests line the roud , where yesterday were happy homos nnd the pleasant shade of for- eu trees. The iiooplo who were then happy in the consciousness of an assured crop and 4 n united family circle are today mourning. / not only for ttio loss of tliolr crops but also ever the death or serious injury of their loved ones. Nothing Could Withstand It. Lsto In the afternoon after n heavy rain the cyclone broke in all Us fury. Nothing rould'withstand it. Strongly built barns , immense trees , even tbo ground itself was rent by the power of the storm. Crops were ewopt'out nnd Hung to the winds , but worst of all was the wreck of the homos. Near Shorbourno a teacher and eighteen scholars were kept In by the afternoon rains nnd when the cyclone struck , iho school tiouso the building was wrecked and blxtoon killed , Including the teacher. A man with his wlfo nnd child was killed at Lyndon , and oihors injured. John Brown and thrco others were kllloJ Eouth of Minnesota Lake. Mrs. Brown , a hired man uud Iho school tcnchor were badly Injured. The first reports from Wells were to iho oftoct thai from forty to fifty had bocn killed near there , tbo worst of the storm having been to tbo west and south of that village. As yet no reports have bocn received In con firmation of this loss. Tcu nro reported killed In the neighbor hood of Maploton nnd twenty injured. The tyclona passed fovr mllus bouth ot Maploton , und that village suffered llttlo loss. The northwest corner of Frcoborn county rvas In ihn pathway and considerable damage lo property and crops was uono thoro. while levorul latulllics uro reported also. There n-oro two storms , the first at1:30 and tbo iccand nn hour Inter. Moro I'atulltlr * . According to reports received the principal damage was chlcfiy In iho farming districts mil the reports are therefore slow. Andrew Hanson , ngo.l ! 2J , took shelter In n barn near Ilurlaud. but Iho barn was blown down and ho was killed. In Frcoborn township Mrs. Mlko Iverson nnd three children and a child of.I. Stccn are ulso reported dead , whllo many more uro muro or less seriously injured. It u ns yet almost Itupojalblo to get the mimes of the dead nna Injured. The storm was especially severe in the western portion of Uobcrn township , many buildings of all sorts being blown to splint ers. About two miles north of Blooming Prairie the storm was severe and cyclonic In charac ter. .Houses und barns wcro moro or loss damaged and lu some Instances totally ilo- troyod.

From there tbo storm kept to tbo east , demolishing farm houues and barns. John Yonkers , whoio pluco Is four miles north of Fuirmount , In Marlon county , lost iwo children , nd many horses und cattle were killed. The damagd to property and destruction of llfo in Marlon county Is tuld to bo even higher than ut first stated. ' At llurtland live people were killed nud nimiy other * Injured. Ono inllo can of Wollt three pcoplo were killed. Just before reaching Wlnnobago tbo cyclone divided Into two parts. Tlio first part struck WclU , where consldcraola dam- Bye was done and a number killod. The ether portion of the cyclone was moro dcntructlvo. It wont whirling along four miles south of Minnesota Luke , destroying everything In iho way , Not a building wn * left standing and a great many people wcro killed and Injured. The liouso of John Brown was close to Hi ? track of the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul road.

The worst damage Is In Farlbiult county , but the other counties named suffered only a llttlo loss. loss.Tho The territory that was yesterday no badly wrecked was today covered by a sc.i of water and mud. In the mud nnd water hundreds of people scorcho : for some rotn minis of their homos and In some cases fo missing frlonas. Lnck of Surgical Attendance. Many paoplo suffered from Injuries nnd their sufferings were made moro Intense through exposure to the cold wind nnd rain. The luck ot surgical attendance was also a cause for much added suffering. The storm will cause much hardship to those who lost their nil , even though some of ihora hnvo their crops still remaining. TA-O Inches of rain fell In Farlbault county in leas than twenty-four hours nnd several bad washouts are roporlod. Probably the worst damage In the state by the stnrm out side the oyclono district was "at bprlng Val ley , where the rain caused a bad flood. The wbolo town was Hooded.

Above all is the sky , nnd n right largo sky it is. But the builder will have the firmament shut out in the next seventy-two hours. Shifts ot 100 mon each nro now working day and night , are lights being provided for the hourrt of darkness , and the damnu-o douo by Sunday's ' cyclone Is being repaired so rapIdly - Idly that the building seems to grow visibly us ono looks at It. The cntlr clmngo of plan made necessary by the substitution ol a wooden for a canvas roof has naturally af fected the appearance of too interior.

Mr. Winston , who will bo remembered as tbo late minister to Persia under the lasl dem ocratic administration , who Is at ttio bend of the local arrangements committee , has found tbo question of ticket issuing ouo that moves him to cominual bitterness and vexation or soul. Ho docs not believe tbat Chicago is gelling nearly Iho number to which she Is entitled , and at the public meo'lug at the Palmer house during yesleruoy afternoon ho said so very Hatty. Somebody asked what chance Chicago was going to have to sco too convention. Mr. Winston said : "Thoro Is a fine street railway running up and down in front of the wigwam.
