indicated local damage in a widespread (
rural region. Falling telqgraph and
telephone poles out off communication,
and many trees, uprooted by tho twist- ?
ing wind, so tangled the wires that
restoration of communication presented P
. a dillirult problem. v
Tho Klgin company of the state militia
was placed on duty to guard prop- "
crty, laid open to tho puhlic by the un- 0
roofing and upsetting of stores. ^

nou Kiucu, HfviTKi nunurea injured
and 1.000 made homeless at Dunning,
a northwest suburb. More than 1 Ml ?
houses, mostly frame structures, were
destroyed there.

t farming country was heavy.
Atlanta, March 28.?At least 36 lives

injured and property damngc prob- ?
ably running into millions of dollars,

where property damage ran High and
some persons were injured. Washington

effects of n storm, but apparently no n
lives were lost. Some damage also was a
thought to have been caused in east ri
em Alalia ma. O
Wire service, both telegraph and
telephone, was partially paralysed and n
it was almost imposalblc to ascertain "
exact damage, or to get report* from q
many sections of the state that have a
felt the effects of the storm. Heavy
rains fell throughout a great portion of a
Georgia during the day and it wan g
feared flooded rivers might add to the
-ulTi ring ^
SLXEPING SICKNESS SEEMS ^
TO HAVE HOLD ON VIENNESE
Vienna, Fob. 28. (By mail).?
Encephalitis lcthargious, the deadly
"sleeping sickness," against which med- C
ical science hns, thus far, proved powerless,
is victimizing scores in Vienna.
The mysterious germ of the new disease
apparently enters the brain of the
patient and induces a profound torpor S
which ordinarily ends in death, without
return to consciousness. American J
physicinns ami surgeons here are assisting
the local medical authorities in their 5
active researches to discover an effective
specific for comltating the disease which g
usually appears as a complication of
acute influenza. o
Vienna's population, impoverished and c
famished,- offers a fertile field for the n
spread of influenza and its sequel, X
encephalitis. The poorer classes, living
in unheated tenements with the ?]
