The trains also brought a number of visitors from below, and later In the day liov.

Within the corporate limits of the town there were ill houses, stores, churche, publie buildings, not including a few temporary structures, tbe existence of which have been entirely obliterated and have been overlooked of all these bat twenty five remained standing after tbe cyclone. ana not a store, cnurcn or boiiaing oi any pretension whatever except a tin shop that was badly damaged, is included. The houses that remain, except three, are of minor value. Two hundred and ninety persons were left homeless by the storm, and not more than ninety have mentis to purchase a bed. Three hundred persons were exposed to the storm in and around Beauregard.

Several persons who were reported killed nave turned up all right. Loots White, who was reported killed east of Beauregard, is alive but reeeired severe Injuries. E. P. Cole.ported to hare been found dead under the ruins of Daniel's store, is alive and well at Mount Hebron, la Lawrence county.

An envelope addressed to Dr.

Mr. Douglas's, Anderson Davis's, Jdmo Care's, Mr. Barlow's, John Allen's, and the Mai sb place. These properties are situated between Beauregard ami Mount Zion, from whence no reports have us yet been received.

Your storm, correspondent in the saddle all day, has just returned from a visit to toe neighborhood of Georgetown, where the storm and its effects, if possible, exceeded in force and disaster its work at Beauregard.

Tbe cyclone closely adhered to its course, northeast, from Beauregard after killing and wounding many of the best citizens near that place, and swooped down upon the farm of Mr. J. N. Crawford, five miles northeast, sweeping' away every vestige of property upon ft, and killing, or mortally wounding every soul upon the place. Mr.

J. Bishop, well known In your city as a prominent merchant of Weetvllle Mr. H. H. and wife, and several others, equally promlnenf citizens, were Interviewed upon the ground by your correspondent.

The following are the facts, not hearsay, but glowing truths Two cyclones ot equal iolence visited the neighborhoodof Georgetown, one at o'clock when the people were at worshi p. This one passed Beauregard at 12:30 last Sunday; the gusts were terrific, but no damage was done: it gained strength. In its court and when it reaohed Cop Lawn. Cieek Church, three miles southeast ef Georgetown, had developed into a gale. Copiah Church waa filled with worshipers, as was also Newbope (colored) Church neai by.

These eh arches were completely de i siroyeu. lathe first Mr. Zae 8avage.was tilled. Rev. II.

P. Lewis, who waa conducting services at the time, waa dangerously injured. Hie arm was broken and his head severely bruised and fractured. Ills recovery is doubtful. He was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was much beloved and respected throughout this section of the State.

Mr. and Mrs. Benton Alien were badly injured; the latter will most probably die. Mrs. Steel and several others were more or less pin fully braised.

At the two churches eight Dorses and mules were kUia. Mewnope Church, colored, was completely demolished. It was filled with negroes. I so in Smith was killed by a tree outside. Jim Walker's leg was broken, and fifteen other negroes were slightly wonnded.

In the immediate neighborhood Brown's house waa entirely carried away. Annie Jones suffered similarly. Cesar Sandlter'a house is go a Looy mocks house was struck by lightning an ng ana oarnea aowa aur insr tbe storm. Geo. the storm.

Geo. Brown's house and Dennis Bnntiey's blacksmith shop were de stroyed. All these are colored people. Mr. If.

Savage's property waa alao awent from tfie face of the earth. The greatest fury was spent northwest of Copiah Church. Mrs. Folee. her daughter, Mits Bettie Dickson, two Masters "Dick, little Mary Foles, and Miss Mollie Beaslev were all billed at Widow Fules's.

Her dwelling and fences were entirely destroyed. Mr. C. 8. Nash is badly crushed.

Bobbie Beaaley is severely braised on the head. He ran a mile and a half to tell his father of bis sister's death. Mr. 8am Hamilton's noose Is a wreck, and he and hie wife are wounded. ohn and Bea Middleton's outhouses were destoyed.

Wm. Middleton'e fencing was carried away, and bis crop is destroyed. m. Ratleff will die his head is terribly crushed, and the blood from his month and nose almost drowned his child. He had his four little children in his arms when found, and waa sitting erect in a chair, surroanded and pinned down by the timbers of the building.

Everything he bad gone. John Pleasants, colored, is a partial sufferer. Dan Hatheney's place was robbed of Its dwelllnnandappurtenaaces Wm. Newmans and. W.

steel were heavy sufferers. Their fences and dwellings were destroyed. Thiadam age resulted at o'clock irem tae nrst ex tae storsoa. wjuea tinned northeest. and waa undoubtedly the cause of the destruction at Lawrence.

The cyclone which demolished Beatir. gaid paescd three milee south of the course of the former storm and parallel through out. The storm disappeared, or lost its force and velocity, some fifteen miles north easr of Westville in Simpson county. Up to that point its track was filled with fragments 01 farm bouses, fallen trees, and up wards of twenty persons were wounded between Pearl Elver and its northern linut Both cyclones passed Westville. one six miles away and the other twelve mils to the north.

In that vicinity and east ef the' Pearl River, the following were killed and wounded: W.K.May'a daughter killed, nine mllee west of Westville. t. Robert Boss, on east bank of Pearl River, two miles from Georgetown. Colored child killedat HeirUbnw. Mr.

Dye, a victim of the first cyclone, llr ing on (strong River, fourteen miles north of Westville. has Just died. In the same neighborhood Hudson will die. Mrs. Story and Mrs.

Grayson are both 1 a very critical condition their recovery 1 impossible. Every house la the path of the storm, fences and tbe like, were carried, away on the wings of the wind, and many norees, muies ana catue kiiiea. Mr. John N. Crawford's place, near Cam Ground Church, on tbe Uasleborst an KocVliort Boad.

is a mass of uvlv ruins. Tbe shattered timbers are scattered for miles aronnd. A large party took shelter in Crawford' house and all were killed, as follows: John. N.Crawford and wife, Ceiia A. Crawford, Jennie Crawford, Mrs.

Julia Beat and baby, Mr. Frank Moore and wife. Willie Beats was blewb three quarters of a mile. He was found yesterday bis head, legs and: arms were dissevered from his body anil have not been recovered. Mrs.

Oiawford was carried 800 yards from the house and blown so feet in the air. She waa hurled against a tree, the top mt which had been twisted off ao feet from the ground. The white splinters were reddened wrtn ner diooo, ana tae top, which fell and was split, was covered with brains and blood. The eorreetness of this statement Is vouched for by Mr. H.

Poll. Catchlngs plaee, one hundred yards from Georaretown. Itatrack. which is anpen highway, was often a nolle, in width. Many of the people who are y1o tims to its ravages are without proper atr tention or food.

Medicines and doctors are required. The distress 1 great, and their" wants appeal for Immediate relief. The citizens are making every imaginable effort, and the: patients are tenderly nursed, but the nurses must be relieved; they are now worn out. The scenes at Beauregard, with all their attendant horrors, have never exceeded la distress the unfortunate localities east. a From Beanregard, Mr.

Southmayd, Seere tary of the Howard Association, and Mr. Fennerand Dr. Watkins, of New Orleans, arrived to night at 11:30 o'clock, and were at onee put on duty. Many physicians arrive here, and while much credit is due and bestowed upon the active ones, the people are not slow to eon demn the 1 aii Id glove professionals who seem. solely en gaged in Btandina a iged in standing around.
