Western Section of the Queen City Suffers the Heaviest Damage. Eleven Members of Two Families Perish in the Collapse of Their Dwellings. Hundreds of Houses Unroofed, Church Steeples Blown Down, and Other Havoc Wrought By Worst Gale on Record in This Vicinity Farmers Hard Hit. Aa a result of tha cyolonle gala and cloudburat that aw.pt over this locality Wedneeday sight there are 39 known dead, many misting and hundred, hurt mora or leaa eerloualy. A conaerratlra of the properly loaa la mora than $1,000,000 la Cincinnati and vicinity.

With tha dawn of Thursday tha full extant and horror of the great storm was revealed. Cincinnati and Its auburban neighbor, had been a fearful blow, eufferlng a toll In dead and Injured unprecedented here, and auatamlng a property loss that cannot be accurately estimated for several daya. A aweeaaloB of tragedlea ware developed and psthatlo inetdanta ware, so a marowa and widespread that the human mind could hardly grasp the rnsgattwae of tha calamity that had coma almost without warning, and had oceupled las than 10 minutaa In Ita enactment Many homes were saddened by the death ar maiming of lored ones. Eleven Deaths in Two Tamlliea. Eleven members of two famllUa, tha Cohcniof Eighth street, and the Tennan-baums.

of Sixth street, couilna, were killed by being buried under the debris of their homes This waa the moat extensive death roll In any one neighborhood. Other fatalities were toattered orar tha city. Above all tha dreadful harvest of death and deeolatioa marked by. a train of wreckage and human auffarlng it ood forth the aubUme truth that mankind la pitifully helpless In a contest with the foroea of nature. That tha atom waa made up of cyclonic wavea waa demonstrated by the odd pranks that ware played.

It waa a wild orgy and rampage of the Particularly on the hilltop, did the wind display Ita weird eccentricity. In soma paicei Ita intensity varied, moving In eddlea of Jrreeietable power, wrecking one bouse and leaving aaothar within a few feet untouched, and la others as balmy and harmleae as a sephyr. HiliTDid Not Protect City. The elements! hand waa laid heavie.t upon the lower part of the city, and for once the surrounding hill, did not ahalt.r the baam in which tha older part of Cincinnati lies. 7n the morgue yesterday were more dead than have ever reposed in that grewsome placs at one time -before.

The faoaa of soma of tha victima were distorted with terror, their bodies marred, while others mat a war'; ciful end, to quickly that their countenances ware' peaceful and without trace of pain Considering the auddenneaa of the rLltatlou It appear, that the toll of Uvea Is not large, And the thouaands at aura mar reeorte. In pleasure craft oa the river and varioualy engaged in the purauit of amusement may feel grateful for their eecape, When the count la made up It will ba found that In this city snd vicinity the storm killed probably 30 persona, and hurt more or leas seriouely In axoaea of 200. Tha material damage Include, to many. Individual homes that Ita actual extent will never ba known. Loaa More Than Xilljon.

With the ruin of many private residences, the destruction of downtown tenement and bu.lneaa houaea, the aggregate loss will exceed 11.000,000. Whole ohav tera might ba written of tha thrilling acenea 'attending the work of rescue of people burled in coltaipaed bulldlnge. Brave and heroic acta were frequent. Police and firemen worked with a seal snd peraiatency that doubtleea cut dow by a acore tha number of dead. A eource of comment was the peculiar fate that overtook 4he special race train on the Pennsylvania, near Mllford.

It waa raleed from tha track, by tha force of the wind while ruahlng at a high rate of ditched, and a score of blooded horsea with soma of their keepers were either killed outright or frightfully mangled. Wldeapread sorrow was expreased aver the aad and of Jamee T. Allen, the -beet known of tha storm victims, who died In the lodgeroom of Odd Fellows Temple, eruahed by falling debrla. Pate was kinder to tha over-the-rlver towns tdjacant to Cincinnati oa the acore of Injured, although the property lost In Covington, Newport and Belle vue waa very heavy, and hundreds of email homaa are so badly damaged that their ownere will be forced to large expenditure to put them In order again. Only one death la traceable to tha etorm on the Kentucky aide of the river.

Fishing Camps Destroyed. At least a score of flitting camp, were wiped out along the Ohio River between thla city snd the mouth of the Big Miami Several of those above the city were also badly damaged. Serious damage to property and halt a hundred Injured people have been reported from tha weatern hills, which were mora directly ta the path of the tornado than any other section of the cltyTexcept the territory between Gilbert avenue on the east and if Ulcreek on the west Requested by the authoritlea the over-the-rlver traction Una officials shut eft the power for fear of cauaing accidents from dangling-wires, and the Kentucky towna will be In darknaaa for a night or two becauee of tha difficulty of reetor- Ing the badly crippled lighting eyatem.
