There, weio about Uf-tcen stores, four paysicinns nnd ona cotnnio-dhnis church, at which tho Jitl'erent denomi-nntions worship. Iiaterand fuller details of tho destruction of tha town as taken from tho local press are as folhuvs TUB STORM. About the nows was Hashed over the wires from Hells that Savoy had been blotted out by ft cvclono, Htid that a number of persons had been killed. Tho dispatch from Hells called for relief.

A number of our citizens loft on tho morning train. About an hour after thn departure ot tho regular train an extra, conttiiniei; Lrs. llanna, Acheson, Wlii Herry, Fields and another quota of citizens, left for tho geeno of tho dVastor. At Bells, which is only two miles distant from Havoy, tho tirst reliable inttdli-Senco of the extent of thu calamity was obtained. Nino persons wero known to be dead, nndsomo forty seriously injured.

On .1... .1 c. tho arrival of the train at fsiivov tho scene presented was enoimh to imuo the stoutest heart quail. I'uin and dimth in all its most lonosonio features was visablo in every direction. A town which only a fo hours previous had continued hundreds of happy homes, was in a moment's lime turned to charmd house of death.

Dead 111041 and women and children lay in every house that had escaped tho fury of the cyclone. AN KYB WITNESS described tho approach of this cyclone as the runiblinsr of a train cars in the distnnoa. At about 10:15 ft cloud, simp something a fan, was seen in tho southeast, and in its wake followed two balls of lurid flames that I'ined revolving with lightninsr ratiditv in tho air now and then they would di.rt heavenward and tlnm plunge tho earth, nnd uld rebound again into tho sky. As the cyclono neared tho town dead calm se mod prcval, the air was hot and stilling and evory 0110 seemed to realize that something dreadful whs going to happen. The cloud which had en of inky blackness, bo-cam a sheet of flam lighting up the doomed town and the surrounding country like a nflacration.

Tho scene was appalling. Tho roar of tho cyclone was like tho noise of chariot wheels sweeping over their way 01 terror. The cyclono slruok tho town south-wost, destroying everything in its path, and leaving the town in a direction northeast. The ontire business portion, and ft largi percentage of the privato residences, were torn to pieces, and tho fragments whirled in the air and scattered in every direction. Tho width of the cyclone was two hundred yards.

A gentlemuii informed our reporter that tlio cyclono oid not last over livo seconds, while others say soveral momenta. The terrible force of the storm cann bo described. Only tho'0 who have visited Savoy can havo the faintest idea of tho devastation.

Tho people in the house say that they were nlinost blinded by the light. They saw a ball of lire dancing in the nir and hoard so md liko unto a piece of hot iron when it is lipped into the water to cool it oil', dwelling to the southwest of -Mr. ravlon's was lifted into tho air over ten feet and carried several yards.

A portion of tho root was torn oil', and a littlo girl was snatched up from tlio floor, carried through tho opening in the roof and whirled tb'otigh tho air, and, strangoas it may seem, was uninjured. When discovered the next morning she complained of being wet nnd cold, but fiiid the wind did not hurt her. A young lady named -Miss Minnie McMurry was discovered undor a leather bed a distance of over ono hundred yards from her father's residence. During tho cyclone tho rain came down in torrents, Hooding tho streets. A littlo baby was rescued from a watery grave by a gentleman who happened to boo tho child struggling in tho wuter in tho gutter.

Sam Long, tlio T. P. stition agent, was sitting nu a bed picking a banjo. Tho cyclono demolished the freight building, leaving only a few fragments, ilr. Long's escape is almost miraculous.
