STORMS I2T TES SO J?Z.
Tennessee Was Storm Centre But
Damage Was Widespread?Over
One Hundred Persons Killed.
Atlanta, Ga., May 1.?Cyclones and
tornadoes the like of which have not
been known for year9, swept through
the south Thursday night and Friday,
leaving in their wake hundreds of dead
and mangled bodies, and the dismantled
wrecks of property worth many
millions.
Tennessee was an especially heavy
sufferer. Careful estimates indicate
that at least 50 people were killed in
that state alone, with monetary h/ss
about $1,000,000, At Franklin and in
HillsbOro there was loss of life. The
latter town is said to be practically
destroyed, while at Centerville and
t adjoining villages the loss is reported
very heavy both in lives and property.
Near Pulaski, Guiles county, the death
list reached 12 and many are injured.
In the vicinity of Chattanooga, the
storm was felt at its worst. Telephone
and telegraph wires were blown down
and the movement of trains was greatly
hampered. The hurricane followed
the Cumberland Valley, wrecking
small towns and destroying farm
houses.
At. Fhenezer. 18 houses were blown i
down.
At Charleston the storm swerved j
np the Hiawasee river, destroyed j
much property. At Fayetteville, three i
are known to have perished. At Cuba j
many houses were blown down and ?
at Gillestown not even a shed was J
left standing.
Memphis reports heavy loss from j
towns within a radius of iCO miles in
three states.
Ac Horn Lake, Mississippi, half a j
dozen lives were lost and the property i
damage wa9 very heavy.
In Arkansas " eight persons were ]
killed near Mammoth Springs, and a j
score of buildings wrecked. Other j
points in Arkansas report heavy loss, j
Atlanta and most of Georgia, es- j
caped with only slight property loss !
during the blow. But two young j
people, a brother and sister, William j
and Pearl Withrow, lost their Uvt s i
here yesterday afternoon by the cap- !
9izinp. of a rowboat during a, sadden j
squall.
The hurricane continued upon its j
course of distructfon in Alabama.
Huntsville sends word of heavy loss
of property with probably several
lives sacrificed near the Tennessee
' line. At Danville, in Morgan County,
y Alabama, the storm struck with terrible
force. At Hartsell at least one
is dead and many hurt. The storm is
still raging and seems to be traveling
almost directly southeast.

a rushing windstorm accompanied
by blinding lightning broke over
Monroe and one of the bolts struck
the residence of M. D. Barrett, tearing
down the chimney. Barrett, his
wife and his 17-year-old daughter were
killed, and a ten-year-old son and a
younger child were seriously shocked.
