The Hurricane on. the Mississippi--- Two Steamhoats Seriously Damaged. Thrilling Description of the Storm King’s Ride. ‘Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. ‘WasmvaroN, Tows, May 2i.—The extent of the terrific tornado which swept over Eeokuk and Washington Counties last Thursday after- noon was but meagrely detailed in the dispatcnsa eent from here on that evening. The damags done seemed too great to be reslized, and al- though the statements made were alarmivg, they convey no ides of tho injury dons to prop- erty, and of ‘the number of persons killed snd wounded. *In the absence of ‘telegraphic com- munication with the interior, nothingdefnite -could be learned, and henca the dispatches wwera ‘made up- from rumors, with & few sensationsl adjectives éandwiched .in to make the cyclone truly horrible. Had the writer of the- dispatch had the most vivid imagination, he conld not “have pistured the davastation and ruin Fronght ‘within two houra. Such a wind-storm was never before experienced in these countied. The old- est inhabitant remembars a hurricans twenty- five years ago, that swept everything before it, ‘but as Washington was then an insignificant vil- 1age, the damage waa not material. Five years Inter there was a hail-storm, which did consid- erable injury to the crops, but the tornado of last Thursday is the severest ever known in Waahington County. THE TEMPEST ROAB. No damage whatever was done in Washington, the point nearest where the storm laid its de- stroying hand being about 6 miles distant. The roar which accompanied this manifestation of the anger of nature wes distinctly heard here, and it is said by farmers, who live 10 miles away, that they heard a peculier, rumbling noise, and could not_avoid connecting it with the storm. To some the noise sounded like & heavy freight train at night, when everything was reposing; to others, like musketry, with an occasional dis- charge of artillery. Scarcely sny light- ping flashes were visiblo, and only an occasional loud peal of thunder was heard. The rain fell in torrents, not in drops, but in sheets, there appearing_to be a Iske of waterin the atmosphere. The whole country was flooded to the depth of several inches, and it is feared the corn already plantad has been washed out. The little creeks and “rivulets, which supply Skunk River, were swollen and overflowed their banks, carrying away tress, and causing the banks to cave in.’ IN THE LINE OF THE STORM. Everything, except here and there amile or two over which the whirlwind seems to have jumped, is desolate-looking. Scarcely house, barn, shed, or granary i6 left. All were swept awayas clean as the fire wiped out the North Bide of Chicago. The exact starting point of the storm is not known, but it ig believed to have been in Keokuk County, probably a few miles west of Lancaster, whieh townm, it 1s ssid, was totally demolished.
