The City or ltnelne, Visited by nn Awl'ul Cyclone Tventy-rive rropl Killerl Outright, inn) Others ilially Injured (irri.t lninge to Properly. Hacine, 19. For tho first time, since its settlement, Kacinc Comity has been visited by a cyclone.
The meteorological conditions of tho lake-shore belt of country were believed to be such that a disastrous cyclone was an impossibility, but the debris of wrecked houses, and the scores of dead and dying, which make this a city of mourning to-dny, attest the falsity of the theory. Yesterday wns notably chilly for tho season. Men wore their overcoats all day long. The morning was bright and fair, with tho wind blowing freshly from tho southeast. As the day advanced clouds obscured the sky, and the air grew more chilly.
At four the whirling masses foil to the earth with a noise that ran only be compared to the buzzing and rumbling of a million railroad trains. Tho rightful sound continued for not more than tsvominutes. The frightened people crept from their cellars and hiding-places to behold the magnificent spectacleof tho cyclone us it passed from the laud upon tho waters of Luke Michigan, where it twirled and created imiuiucralili) water-spouts, some of which formed spectacles beautiful in tho extreme. AH the houses on the west side of North Main north of English street, ere demolished. Most of them are of wood, but one was a large brick bouse, owned by Mr.
Fisher. Fred Talk's house on English street was completely wrecked. Many houses on North Wisconsin street were more or less damaged. One house on High street, facing cast, was picked up and appeared to float in the air twenty feet above the earth, and when it alighted it was in a tolerable state of preservation, mid faced south. A barn on Milwaukee street was lifted Into the air and it came down underside up, presenting a strange appearance.
Sidewalks in the track of the cyclone were drawn into the air, trees torn up by the roots, nnd out-li'ouses, were no more than feathers wafted by a breeze. The path of the meteorological monster was a literal scene of ruin such as the eye in Racine never before dwelt upon. The clap-boards of houses appear to have been ground into splinters, some of which had the dimensions of mere slivers. Four-' teen persons were in Pelura's saloon, on Douglas avenue, ami though the two-story brick building in which it was located was reduced to a mere pile of bricks and mortar, no one was seriously injured. Beach's barn was taken up into the air, and after whirling like a top alighted in good order on its side, like a ship on her beams.
The llax mills, the vinegar manufactory and the brick-yards of William llauuians shared the common fate id' destruction. The roof of Bcttroy's bakery was lifted off, and on the, same street, St. Clair, the cupola of Father Matthew Hall was damaged. The smokestack of the old silver-plate works fell, and the, cornice of St. Joseph's Cathedral svas twisted oil'.
The roof of Policeman Gricbel's house, Ihialcd away, and an old, unoccupied tenement-house of George Biiclicr is numbered among tho tilings that were. Telegraph poles were not respected, and as the wires are down communication with outside poinls is difficult. The 7:10 train from Chicago was delayed a mile north of the city by a house which had been picked up by the cyclone and deposited squarely on the ruils. The scene among the dead, wounded and dying at the northern part of the city was one painful beyond description. In many instances surviving relatives had lost all semblance of reason.
Physicians were not numerous enough to give prompt assistance, and numerous bleeding victims were rolled up in blankets while anxious relatives ran in every direction to secure medical aid. The KANSAS STATE NEWS. Later reports from the tornado that ro-cently swept through a piu1ii.ii of Wyandotte County add to the damage to property and show that the destruction commenced iitTurncr, on the line of the Atchison, To-peka Santa Fe road, where a wide, swnth was mowed through a piece of heavy timber. M. K.
Barber's barn was blown down; Ions E. T. Pottigo's barn was also blown to atoms, causing a loss of $500. S. Shue's building was damaged $175.
J. Moyer left his five children i tho bcuo alone; the building, which was doublo block, blew entirely from over them but none were injured; loss, including furniture, Mr. Dudley's residence was blown down and consumed by fire, which caught from the stove. Mr. Reed (whoso wife wns killed) was badly hurt, also his four children.
Swindlers in somo parts of tho State play new game upon unsuspecting farmers. They watch for estray notices, nnd ns soon ns they henr of a case where a farmer has taken up an estray of any kind, one of them visits the place, looks nt the animal and decides that it does not belong to him. He goes nwny nnd gives a minute description of the niiimnl to confederate, who goes to tho farmer nnd repents the description. This generally sntisfles the farmer that the last caller is 'the owner. After looking at the animal the fellow begins to talk about, the difficulty of getting it, home, and finally offers to sell it to the farmer very cheap.
If the farmer he is "sold."
