Gainesville, !(ia.. June 1.?The cyoloDe Hrst
struct the town In ttie southern portion. It
eame with a frightful roar atid the (lay wa8
. torped Into night. As people fled from the
storm they were caught In the wind and .
bodily blown In all directions.
Houses reelect and rocked and then the *
Xury of the cyclone burst upon the city.
(Some bouses were tarn-iuw imKiucuu ,
era were from ibeir foundations and
carried Intact for blocks ; roofs sailed like
leavea Id tbe air and many persons were
ploked op In tbe storm and carried over tbe
trees and Mouses for long distances.
Even above tbe roar of the cyclone could be
beard tbe shrieks of tbe Injured and tbe
moans ot the dying.
Wildest excitement prevailed everywhere.
Tbe city was wrapped In Inky blackness for
a few moments. Tbe air was hot and stifling
and then came the storm and tbe rain.
The Bell telephone and tbe Western Union
)o8tall wires, but tbe Bell people got a wire
working shortly afterwards and then tbe
Western Union put a wire Into service. Both
these wires were turned over to the city to be
used In calling for physicians. Every town
that can be reached has been urged to rush
doctors and surgeons to Gainesville.
It is believed the death list of oue hundred
, is a conservative estimate and there may be
many more dead than even now expected.
Such wounded as have been rescued are
being cared Jor and everybody wbo Is uninjured
is at work relieving the Buffering.
The property loss cannot be estimated at
this hour. Every minute reports of dead are
Increasing and the death llct may be ap.
palling wnen the whole truth Is known.
Estimates now place tbe dead aud wounded
at 200at tbe cotton mill alone.
To this number mast oe auaeu me eituucu
or twenty killed In Gainesville proper and
the scores of wounded.
Trains are being run to Gainesville to carry
medlcal attention.
The cyclone was terrific In Its fury. It
Bwept railroad cars from the trucks aud carried
them out of sight In ;be air. Vast
pieces of machinery weighing tons are miss
lug. Buildings were swept lb rough the air
as though pieces or paper.
The operator at New Holland, the first

BELIEF TRAIN GOES TO STRICKEN CITY. i
A relief train, having on board nearly a (
dozen prominent physicians and surgeons,
left the nolon depot this afternoon at 4:20 ,
o'clock over the Southern railway tor Gaines
vl Me.
These physicians boarded the train in response
to a call of The Journal lor volunteer*

learned that tbe train would be run The

respouded to tbe call.
Oalnesvllle, like most cities In an hour or
distress, isgreatlv Id need of physicians. aDd
tbose wbo went from Atlanta will prove of
i invaluable aid to the sutferlDg and dying in
tbat stricken city. Besides the physicians, '
numbers of otbers went on the tralu who will 1
render aid to them.
The physicians wbo boarded tbe train were '
equipped with their Instruments and medical <
appliances and will t>e*ln work as soon as
they reach the city tonight. '
Many physicians wbo were out of their
offices and away from home on calls received
tbe message and left for them to go to Gaines 1
viile after the train bad departed, and these ,
expressed their regret that they were unable
to Join tbe number wbo went. It Is very
probable tbat others will board the midnight 1
train and will be on hand at an early hour
tomorrow morning to help tbe suffering
.city.
Among tbe well known people who boarded
tbe train thW afternoon were the following
:
Dr. W. P. Nicholson, Dr. R. \V. Hyndn. Dr.
f R. T. Dorsey. Dr. Floyd McKne. Dr. \V. B.

EDITOR B. F. HOLDER DESCRIBES CYCLONE.
Ben F. Holder, editor of The Athens Banner,
wbo reached Atlanta this afternoon was
- ft.o Snnihpm train which
? |?W001iSV. ?v ?
passed through Gainesville after tbe cyolone.
faring tbe few mlnuteH' stop of the train Mr.
Holder saw much of the stricken portion of
the city.
"The section of the city over which the
tornad0 passtd was In parts swept as clean as
If It had been done with a broom. I saw
cabins and bouses demolished and tree*
twisted Into every Imaginable shape.
"During my short stay I met Grant Skelley,
formerly a fl'gman of tbe Southern road,
who held a little thne-year-old child In his
arms when the tornado struck him. The
Child was blown from blw arms against a
' building, cutting a deep gash In tbe side of
Its bead. He was knocked down.
Others whom I saw told harrowing tales
of the storm. In the Gainesville cotton mill
forty-three persons were taken out, many of
tbem dead. A tank adjoining the mill was
blown several hundred feet.
"Tbe storm also tore down many of the
trolley wires and these dangling about the
streets dealt death to a score or more horses
and cattle.
"Near the Southern depot Kd Neighbors
and three oiber men from Maysvllle were
killed In Joe Logan's store.
"The work of removing the dead from the
r debris was going on as rapidly as possible and
by tomorrow the number of killed can be
fairly estimated."

and disastrous thunderstorm that has visited
the city for several years. Considerable Fi
property was destroyed, one life was lost,
and the entire electric system, Including Ca

was badly damaged. 6e
Those who watched the almost Incresent
blaze of light and listened to tbe fierce cannonade
of thunder were swayed by various ?
emotions. The majority, no doubt, were
more or less disturbed either by their own
danger or that of some loved one exposed to
tbe elements. Some were fairly pntflc-stlck- y

For the last five or stx weeks the St. James wi
congregation, colored Methodist* of this city,
have been engaged In a special effort to raise
money for making a payment on ihelr new pe
church. On last Sunday wheu reports were fr<
taken it was found that the sura of ?-195.90 bad .
been raised and all all subscriptions have ,rr
not yet come Id. Wl
In this congregation there aro about four a*
hundred QommunlcantP. The result shows ?
what a uuited and determined effort can ac- DC
compllsh. The debt on the churcn Is $2,000, w<
and when the note becomes due in July it is flE
hoped to pay 8500 on the debt, and Interest on
the remalnlng;debt of SI,500, for a year in ad- PC
vance. th
The chfirch is the best and finest A. M. E.
church in the State outside of Charleston.
The brick was made by volunteer labor of the Pr
members, and were hauled to the lot in the in
same way. When the walls were being raised n,
some members gave their work, while others )
contributed money. Cl
Trie church ts a brick structure about 60x90 in
feet with a gotblc roof. The Sunday-school
room is in the basement. It cost up to this

able additional sum win oe required. iuey (>
have called a halt until their debt can be
