Manager Laughlin-was approached, by number of citizens yesterday, They thanked him oot for his libera u.J one rer and premised wjowB and overturned furniture. Jwere was has-dly a woman in Buffalo jfhat it did not by some means or other contrive to frighten badlv. innally its mischief became malicious; greedy for adventure it raged back and forth, gathering in fury, till finally it howled for blood. Then it became a mankiHer.

It swept out to the Pan-American Exposition grounds and tore down first the great work tower on the entrance to the Midway, and then that on the southeast part of the electrical building. But no men were there; its lust was unsatiated. With increasing fury it turned and swept towardlthe United States building. With a rush it carried out the whole great central part of it, and dashed it to pieces on the ground. But again it was balked, for no human being was near to be caught beneath the ruins.

Tearing back across the city in a rage of disappointment it went to East Buffalo, where it might have expected to find some workmen near the new cast house of the Buffalo Charcoal Iron Works, at the foot of Hamburg Street. brick walls, and they crumbled; it twined its long ar3 about the great steel trusses that to support the roof, and they were Bent like wires into a mass of confused wreckage. But still it was without its human sacrifice. Having spent itself in rage and futility it became more calm. Then it plotted murder with the subtle treachery of a Medlcis.

In Washington Street it tore down a telegraph wire, carried it over the trolley feed wire, and then laid the end on the It had done this much a dozen times before, but openly. Now it picked up some lumber and dashed it into kindling wood over the wire. Then it went away and slow- 1 AaA ArrxTT nnrtatt with havinsr laid ONE Ruins of overturned was entirely completed, much of the staff being. In place. The Impossibility of estimating the true damage is owing to the fact that much of it is in the shape of sprung joints and weakened and wrenched structures.

Only when the work on all of the buildings has been completed can the true amount (of damage done be calculated. Yesterday forenoon President Mil- burn prepared the following statement for publication: "I have been all over the grounds with the Director of Works and am gratified to find that the damage done, so far as the Exposition Company's buildings are concerned, is confined to two of the buildings -Ahich were near-ing completion. Those are the Electricity Building and the entrance to the Midway. The damage to the Electricty Building is confined to the south entrance. The building proper has sustained little or no damage.

The tower at the northwest corner of the Midway entrance is down. The three other towers are intact and uninjured. Through the good fortune of these buildings being so nearly completed, there is ample time for the restoration of the damaged parts. It is estimated that two weeks will repair the damage to the Midway entrance, and perhaps three weeks the damage to the entrance of the Electricity Building. "No damage of any consequence has been done to any of the other buildings of the Exposition Company.

On the Horticultural Building, which is in the early stages of construction, the only-damage done is the blowing over of a few posts, which are uninjured and can be readily replaced. "The landscape work is uninjured; not a single tree being down. "The only damage that has been done Is to the government building, and that to the main building. Men are at work upon it and it will not be long before it is replaced. The pavilions of the government building are uninjured.

"Work is progressing today and the final completion of the damaged buildings will not be appreciably delayed by anything that has happened. "I am glad to be able to assure tne public that notwithstanding the ex traordinary violence of the storm, there has been no loss or damage to cause any apprehension, or affect the successful prosecution of the work or the plans of the Exposition Company." In addition to the damage in this statement the buildings of the "Trip to the Moon," and "Palace of All Nations," on the Midway were slightly damaged. Very little work was done on any of the structures yesterday, and none at all on the electricity building, during the forenoon. As late as 10 o'clock the wind had still a velocity of 40 miles an hour, and it was not considered safe for the men to go work under the tottering towers. In the afternoon, however, gangs were set to work clearing away the debris.

HAVOC QUSED AT NEARBY RESORTS WOODLAWS AND CRYSTAL BEACHES WERE STREWN WITH WRECKAGE MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE. In Tonawanda the water rose three feet above Its usual level. Many -large lumber piles were overturned and the lumber about. Trees were blown down and windows broken. All the small boats at Woodlawn Beach, numbering several dozen, were destroyed.

The pier at the landing was also badly damaged. The pound nets, which were the subject a short time ago of so much dlssentlon, were also destroyed. But it was in the vicinity of Crystal Beach that the greatest havoc was wrought. Yesterday the whole shore in the viemty fthe beach was littered with wreckage. With the exception of a few boats, all the craft belonging to the Buffalo Canoe Club were either destroyed or badly damaged.

At 4 o'clock in the morning the entire club dock, about 300 feet long, was washed ashore. Doxens of yawls, birds, canoes and other small boats were released from their moorings, and many were dashed to pieces. On the beach Itself the storm 'worked a deal of havoc. The restaurant and tobog gan slide were blown down and much of thCshore walls washed away. The loss is estimated by Mr.

Rebstock to be nearly $5,000, Water swept over the lawn of Judge. Coatsworth, which ordinarily ten feet rfbove the lake level. Great damage to crops tthroughout tne Niagara fruit belt is reported. Heavily laden trees were stripped of their burdens by the wind. Thousands of acres of peach and apple orchards are literally carpeted with green fruit.

The loss Is said to run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. HUNDREDS OF WIRES WERE BLOWX' DO WN TELEGRAPH, TELEPHONE AND GBSEKAli ELECTRIC COMPANIES SUFFERED GREAT" ISCONVEN- 'IENCE IN, THIS RESPECT. -Agreat deal of damage -done to the property of all companies i owning wires strung on Both the Western Union and the-. Postal Telegraph companies werei sufferers in this respect. Yesterday morning the 'Western Union' would ronly, take messages subject to delax in transmission.

407 Best Street. The roof was crushed in and Behrends narrowly escaped being killed. In all parts of the city trees were blown down, while all the avenues were littered with branches that, had been torn off by the wind. A large elm near the Fillmore, was blown down; trees with similar fates were in Prospect Park," Summer. Bryant, Main, West Utia and North Btreets, and Hodge, Leixington and Front avenues.

NEW CAST HOUSE WAS BLOWN DOWN CHARCOAL IRON WORKS WILL LOSE $10,000 AS A RESULT STEEL TRUSTS TWISTED. The loss of the Charcoal Iron Works, in East Buffalo, caused by the- storm, is estimated at not much less than $10,000. At about 3 a. Just before the wind attained its maximum velocity, the brick walls of the new cast house fell into Hamburg Street. Four of the large steel trusses used to support the roof of the cast house, had already been put in place.

Thev were warped and bent into a twisted heap In the middle of the wreckage of the walls. All of the buildings that it. left is that part protected by the huge steel blast furnace cupola. An idea of the complete wreck effected can be gained from the picture taken for The Courier yesterday afternoon and reproduced in today's edition. SEVERAL BOATS RETURNED TO PORT REGULAR ERIE BOAT DID NOT TERD AY SCOWS BEACHED.

At times it became necessary to shut-the current off in whole sections of the city in order to evade the danger of electrocuting passers by. The company denied last night that it was one of their' wires that caused the death of the woman in Washington Street. Perhaps the Bell Telephone Company had more trouble than any other. Its wires are not so heavy as those carrying current at high voltage, and In consequence the number that was broken ran into the hundreds. Early yesterday morning scores of complaints Were sent to the central office of the inability to send messages from various stations.

Prompt measures were taken to remedy the trouble. Before 7 o'clock in the morning over 200 men were t.nt out in gangs to different parts of the city. These were kept busy all day, and it is probable that not before tomorrow will even this large force be able to repair all the breaks. HER HAND TOUCHED A CHARGED WIRE MRS. ROSE MARKEASE WAS INSTANTLY KILLED IN WASHINGTON STREET YESTERDAY MORNING.

iJrs. Rose Markease, 45 years old, who lived with her husband and children in the tenement house at No. 100 Washington Street, was shocked to death by a live wire in front of the building at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The woman was a regular attendant at the Italian Catholic Church for early mass. When starting out yesterday morning she discovered that a pile of debris which would make good firewood had been blown from neighboring buildings in front of the In attempting to pick up the wood Mrs.

Markease touched a Bell Telephone Company's wire, which had been blown from a pole nearby. The wire had fallen across one of the trolley wires in Washington Street, and was charged with a strong cur-rent. Mrs. Markease was instantly killed. Her husband, William Markease, a laborer, ran to her assistance and sustained so severe a shock that his removal to the Fitch Hospital was necessary.

Markease's left hand and parts of his body were badly but his condition is not serious. John J. Farrlngton, a member of the crew of Fire Engine Company No. 10, in Perry Street, ihade an attempt to take Mrs. Markease's body from the wire.

He also sustained a shock which proved to be not serious. The wire was finally removed from the dead woman's hands, and her body was carried into the house. When the surgeons on the Fitch ambulance arrived to take Markease to the hospital, an attempt was made to revive he woman, but she was beyond human assistance, and the surgeons said she had probably died Immediately. Mrs. Markease was the mother of four children, the youngest being Annie, 8 years old.

At the hospital last night It was stated that while Markease is not In a serious condition, he will have to remain at the hospital for a few days. A horse driven by Dennis Kinkade and attached to one of the United States mail wagons, stepped on the live wire which killed Mrs. Markease, aU4 o'clock yesterday morning and sustained a severe shock. The animal was thrown to the pavement and Kinkade thought the shock killed it. He touched the horse and seme of the electricity -passed into his body.

Kinkade ran to a telephone and notified the police of the 1st Precinct Station that there was a live wire in Washington Street. The police claim to have notified the International Traction Company to that effect, but apparently, no action was taken, as Mrs. Markease shocked to death by the same wire almost an hour later.

Liocke when she arrived in. the harbor early yesterday afternoon; the grim "reality of the sailor's life was above decks. Gaffs and booms were broken, bulwarks were smashed, boxes and barrels were torn from their lashings on deck and washed overboard, several sails were blown away, the fboat sprung leak, and the crew were at the pumps for eleven hours, all as the result of the big storm Tuesday night. -The up at the Minnesota ore dock and the crew kept the pumps going while her cargo of pig iron was unload ejd. Capt.

Homer Durahd was away when The Courier's reporter went aboard, but the first mate, J. A. Moore, told the story of the struggle through wllch the vessel and her crew had Just passed. "At 7 o'clock last night," he related, "the breeze freshened; two hours afterwards it waff a gale. We were on the south shore and not minding the wind very much, except to sound the hold of tener.

was when we had to change out. course to make Buffalo harbor that ouf trouble began. I took the wheel myself to make certain that the boat would be given every chance against and I did not dare to let go for five hours. It was a terrible five" hours! "The sea after us, coming faster than the boat, could travel, and the waves tumbled over7 the deck, filling it to the rails and threatening to founder the boat. We have four as good sailors forward as any vessel ever carried, and they helped us through storm in a way that could not be beat.

While the deck was being swept by the waves, and boxes and barrels were being washed overboard' the sailors broke holes in the bulwarks to relieve the deck of the immense amount of water pouring in. "Our trouble came thick and fast as the gale increased. The main gaft broke, the foresail, the mainsail and the flying jib were carried away, and then fore boom broke into three pieces. One piece went through a hatchway, and there was a lively time; getting a tarpaulin over the Again and again the seas breaking over-the boat broke the tarpaulin covering away, and the work had to be done over again. One sailor had to keep watch on that hatchway until we got into port.

"At 3 o'clock in the morning the boat sprung a leak, and the pumps were set going and have since been kept going, for the water gained in the hold. When the pumps started the rod sounded 13 inches, andrf when we arrived in port there were two feet. We had a close call. If Buffalo harbor had been a few miles farther away from Us we would have had to beach the boat to prevent her from going down." The cook, a young woman, was asked by the reporter if she was badly frightened during the storm. "Only once," she replied.

"I was peering out of the cabin window and the ice chest, a big one, came swinging down the deck and struck the cabin right at the window. I thought the cabin would be wrecked, but it stood the blow. I have been sailing for two years and have been through several big storms, but last night's was the worse." RECORD FOR MONTH OF SEPTEMBER WIND BLEW AT. A VELOCITY OV 78 MILES AN HOUR IN FIT- FIX; GUSTS. The Weather Bureau reports that It was the worst wind storm ever known in Buffalo at this time of year.

At 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning it had attained a velocity of 78 miles an hour. There is on recOrd in the bureau an Instance when the wind in a great winter storm attained as high a velocity, but this was when shipping and the city expected storms, and everything perishable was stored under cover. Some idea of the fearful velocity that the wind attained yesterday, may be gathered from the fact that the highest it has ver been known to go in September heretofore, so far as the records of the bureau show, was 57 miles an over 2d miles less than the record of yesterday. Being situated directly at the West end of the great expanse of Lake Erie, Buffalo suffered more than any of the other lake cities. At Cleveland the maximum velocity attained was 60 miles an hour; at Toledo it was 44, while at Detroit and Alpena it was only 28.

A peculiarity of the storm was the constant shifting ef the wind. A wheelman riding up Main Street at 3:30 o'clock, when thejvelocity of the wind was highest, was' first carried rapidly, without peddling, northward on the street, and down Niagara Street as far Pearl. Here he was suddenly subjected to such a terrific sandstorm from directly1 In front, that progress was impossible, both wheel and man were almost lifted from the pavement. At Delaware Avenue another change carried Jiim rapidly up the avenue, and when he had proceeded as far as Huron such, a quiet prevailed there for the moment as hardly to flutter the leaves on the broken branches lying on the pavement.

THIRTY HOURS IN GALE AT WORST TRYING EXPERIENCE ON STEAMER LAWRENCE IN WEATHERING THE GREAT STORM ON LAK MICHIGAN. St. Joseph, Sept. 12. After a voyage from Milwaukee that lasted nearly thirty hours through the entire gale which raged on Lake Michigan yesterday, the passenger steamer Law rence reached this port at 1' o'clock this afternoon.

The steamer was swept with great seas and her crew record it as the worst experience they ever had. On board were S. S. Burke, manager of the Bteamer. and three passengers.

The Lawrence left Milwaukee at 8:45 o'clock Tuesday morning. The West-Indian blow riad not given sufficient warning of its coming at that time, and although a strong breeze was blow ing, Capt. Edward Williams did not an ticipate any particularly rough weather By the time the middle of the lake was reached the waves washed the life-boat overboard and it was recovered only by dint of the greatest risk and effort of the crew. The Lawrence was ten miles off this port at 6:80 o'clock last night. Not daring to try the harbor entrance in the heavy sea, th captain put the steamer about and headed her back across the lake to gain the shelter of the west shore.

It was while the steamer was on this course, that the wind shifted from southwest to northwest, making a dangerous cross sea, in which she labored heavily. The shelter of the west shore was reached at o'clock this morning in the. vicinity of Waukegan. After waiting for the sea to go down, she was headed for this port again and came in about 1 o'clock. Capt.

Williams' "wife was on the deck waiting to meet him. having come here from Milwaukee. SPRUNG A LEAK. Schooner Boicobel Reached Alpena Harbor- and Then Sank. Alpena, Mlchi, Sept.

The damage at the Pan-American Exposition grounds will delay the w-k for several weeks on the buildings which were injured. The exact loss entailed is difficult to ascertain. The officials are very conservative in making statements. Estimates of the loss vary from $50,000 to over $150,000, the general belief being that it is at least $75,000. The government building, of which the main part was blown down, had not yet been trussed, nor had the main tower -been -built, or the loss would have, been much heavier.

The contractors are said to estimate their loss at $30,000 and that the work will be delayed over a month. One of the two huge towers at the south end of the electricity building was wrecked. It was 180 feet high, and of this about 80 feet was precipitated upon the roof and ground.
