In a deep hollow on the northeast corner of the two streets stood something like two dozen cheap tenant houses before the tornado swept over the city. To-day fully one-half of the buildings are completely razed to tbe ground while those remaining are twisted out of all shape or stand unroofed and wholly uninhabitable. Tho buildings were occupied by colored people, there being on the average two families to a house. When the wind had completed its work on llolmos sL, it seems to have bounded upward, skipping the inlerveneing block and landed among the tenement -houses in tha hollow. During the forenoon the families who had occupied the houses gathered about the ruins and began to carefully collect the luni.

ber that lay strewn about' tns ground in the worst of confusioh Remnants of leather beds, dead chickens, ruined stoves and demolished furniture were piled upon the ground promiscuously and few could tell what portion of the general wreck belonged to them. Many could not even locate the site of the building they had occupied. It is impossible to accurately estimate the loss to this colony of colored people, but it will probably not amount to any startling figure, es the buildings were all small and can be replaced with but little outlay. klra.

The moat aerious loss at Turner was tha wholesale demolishing of Ferkins a llaee, a tract of twenty acres, covered ith w-alumt, oak and elm; the tress in this huge grove were decimated, entailing a loss tho the owner bich reaches well up into the thousands.

That a storm could thus sweep over Turner, taking iu Its track trees three feet iu diameter without killing any ono, bar dero on the miraculous. The storm entirely ignored ARHOliRDALK, save to upset a little Game house be--longing to Mrs. Nneiton, of Kansas City. Tha dirt litters on the Spillogg tract, in SOUTH WVAXDOTTE, were flooded out by the raio which followed the tornado, but did not sutler any incuiiveuience from the wind.

In this latter place troes weighing 10 tons were lifted bodily, and a small house across the road was completely turned over; no occupants. Slight tornado insurance on Dr.

Mather's farm. The Blind institute was not injured, though tbe whirling wind one-quarter mile to the north, made the stout bnilding tremble. The view from the institute was niagnifioent; ball of fire hung on the base of the funnel shapped cloud as it made its way across North Wyandotte to the Missouri river. After leaving Dr. Mathers, the tornado passed Brother Martin Stewart's, lifting the roof, and the trees of the orchard, some 300 in number, were laid out, making a loss of 1,060 dollars, uninsured.

Yesterday will sever be forgotten in the history of Kansas City. It will be talked sbout, written of sod its atory told sod retold when the prevent geuei-itoo are iu tlieir graves, for at the oloae of a fickle and tern pee to ua afternoon, amidst a darkening of the heavens and with a strange, icy chill upon the air, auck a tempest aa never before in the memory ol man has visited this valley, swept out of the west and 4ore a track of death and terror right the heart of the city. The day opened with rain, followed by an IETESVAL or AL. At about noon or very shortly after-y ward huge masses of clouds began to thank themselves around the entire bori-tson. liy 3 oclock the sky assumed angry, purple hue and of so peculiar an appearance that people began to congregate upon the streets to look at it At this time the air was heavy and the fitful wind carried sheets of rain hither and thither without apparent i direction.

Aa the passing momenta swelled into another hour the crowd of watchers felt Instinctively that some dreadful pbenom an was about to appear. The skies had oaowa da Hitt a. and across their sullen surface torn scraps of clouds in fantastio shapes scudded with a velocity that told of the presence of vast air currents some--where in middle space. These were fob lowed by dark sheets as of smoke that rolled up from the horizon, broke and lost themselves. While ail this was in progress the air grow of a sudden cold.

It is impossi-tife to describe the weird and unnatural chill cave that it was icy and lasted for some moments. Just then a gigantic, COXa SHAPED CDOCD the point toward the earth, appeared in the northwest. Those who noted the time saw that it was exactly half-past 4. The cloud rushed into view so quickly that it was impossible to tell whether it was born of a contlict of the elements before the eye, or came from some point beyond, and moving with inconceivable rapidity, and bounding like a ball, sometimes Hundreds of feet above the earik'. and sometimes trailing upon it, the moviater passed over Wyandotte, and paused at the bar opposite the mouth of the Kaw, where it SOCKED op tons of Band, completely changing its color from dark bine to a deep dun.

Then it sig-zagged up behind Harlem where it bounded into mid air and disappeared. Scarcely bad it made its spectral exit when another cloud almost identical in size and shape, appeared at about the same pcint where the first was seen. This cloud can be likened to nothing so much as a partially collapsed balloon with the peek enormously elongated and twisting about. Theoolor was reddish yellow, distinctly relieving it against the darker background. This 1 KXTSAOED1XAET APPAKITIOK of the' skies moved directly toward the city, dfc't very fast apparently, but springing up and down iu an uncanny dance.

Ax it came nearer, one could seo that every time it touched the ground it swept it clean, carrying up 1 the debris, and 4f opping it as it i passed. A few moments tiler its appearance I it struck West Kansas City, barely touching, however, and its damage confined principally to the unroofing of bouses. Demolishing the upper portion of the Stock Exchange, and killing one man, it leaped into the air, STEIK1NQ THE BLCFf jfear 18th at and passing on east and slightly north for nearly two miles. In I the greater part of this distance the storm funnel touched the ground and a wilderti'ess of ruin marks its track. The passage of the tornado was so sudden that people did not, in the language of one lady, have time to be frightened until it waa ovffr, but the scene of consternation and aaAf terror that followed In its wake was something that words are altogether inadequate to describe.

People were absolutely Prated with fear, and the special of men Tuahing blindly into the streets and CnilEQ LIKE CHILbEX, was to be seen at every hand- Others crept from the ruins of their Names, covered with dust, many dangerously wounded, while the hysterical ahrieks of women, the occasional crash of looe-: sued brick and mortar, the wails of panic stricken people looking for their missing, all combined to form the ssd-dest and most tragio sight that our city has ever been the theater of. The immediate track of the tornado i was almost 100 yards wide and in some I places it spresd occasionally outside of this path but no damage was done. The force was I ALMOST INCONCEIVABLE. It cut like a knife. In several in-i staaces at the edge of the storm belt so sudden was the shock that the fronts of houses were torn out without damsging balance of the structure.

In other places the walls of one building were driven straight through those of an-1 other, while several smaller structures were lifted bodily off the ground and I carried a long distance away. 4 The freedom from fatality was a mat- 2 tar of general comment.

The cyclone swooped down to ground for the first time after crossing tbe Kaw near the railroad bridgo at the stock yards, first hitting tbe boat house Capt. Joe Burns, whose place was demolished. He was blown about thirty yards and buried beneath a heap of timbers and other debris and killed several other people along the river were Mown against the bank but not seriously injured. Burns was a well known character along the river, and in the old days was stoamboating on the Missouri and Mississippi. Burns, in bis stay on the banks of the Kaw, had been the means of rrscuing many drowning persons form the river and waa universally liked.

The Stock Exchan go was the next object in the path of the storm and suffered tbe loss of its roof, fragments being carried fov Mocks on the wings of the storm. At 15U9 Bell st. the bouse belonging to Mr. Logston was unroofed, but the family was uninjured. At 1601 a house was also partially unroofed.

The store of Bryan Cunningham, st Seventeenth and Liberty, had all the windows Mown out, and the building otherwise slightly damaged. Ed. Doughertys building, at Sixteenth and Wyoming, was badly shattered by some boards which were blown into the front portion, and his loss will amount to a few hundred dollars. Sidewalk! were in some instances overturned, bill boards blown down, and small frame barns demolished. A number of telephone poles were blown down, and the telegrarh wires were injured to some extent.

In the freight yards cars on the Council Bluffs, Fanta Fe. and Missouri lacifie traoks were overturned, and demolished to some extent, but in the main the damage will be slight in this quarter. Across the Kaw, T1 damage to property in Wyandotte oounty, exclusive of course, of lives lost Storm Notes, Telegraph wires north and west arc badly demoralized, tbe storm having leveled them for miles. There were no Western Union wires to Leavenworth this morning and only one to Topeka. Telephone wires, in the eloquent language of the Central cilice, are knocked lwards in the city, and the wires to Leavenworth are cut off entirely.

Yesterday's rain wasued out quits a large space of macadam on west Firth in the cut, rendering travel somewhat dangerous at that point. A large force of men were set to work this morning to repair the damage and all will be smooth in a short time. No. of the Missouri lacifis, due from tbe west at 6:80 a. was bulletined this morning to arrive at 1 1 o'clock a.

in. Inquiry elielted tbe fact that a slide somewhere on the line ot the road was the cause of the delay, but just where could not be ascertained, as the wires are down and no telegraphic-information could be obtained. The storm of yesterday in Kansas ii reported as having been terrific. A striking illustration of animal instinct was given by the elephant Fain-eon, belonging to Cole's circus, yesterday afternoon, just before the storm struck the eity. lie ebowed great signs of fear, as if conscious of an approaching danger, and emitted groans of a must ominous character His great, bugs frame trembled, and' rocked from aide to sido, and bis uneasy movements to and fro plainly showed that he knew something was in tbe air.

With a precaution amounting to reason, the monster beast braced himself to receive tha shook, aa much as if to say to tha eyeless: Hero I am do your bast. 1 guess you'll have i hard lima in blowing me over. Tha leaser members ef the elephantine family, warned by their leader, also gave tokens ef fear and made tha usual effort to meet the danger. It waa wonder-i Killed and Wounded The following, so far as can ha known at present, is the list of killed and wounded: Willie Bieber, boy, killed. Capt.

Joe Burns, killed. Mrs. David Reid, of Wyandotte, killed. Daughter of tbe above, killed. David Reid, of Wyandotte, and three children, all seriously injured, bruised which could not ba compute Lta.dollarr)ebouVthe iead and will probably die..
