Every team in tho city is in servico, and nearly two-thirds of tho 8,500 people who live hore have gone to view tho scéno of destruction in this county.” The ma- Jority wero unable to obtain any conveyance, so thoy walked out in aquads, Tho distance is only five milos to tho nearest point whero evidencos of the storm canbo scen. This is nothing in tho oyes of tho mon and womeon horo, the mile ‘boing somewhat shortor than thoso in Virginia. ‘Threo-quartors of an Liour was required to reach TAE FIRST RUINS, 7 and tho jonrney would, not have been unplens- ant had not the sun's rays been 8o hot. The sky was clear all day, the atorm Iast ovening having disappeared about midnight, and all who walked out expressod thomsolves as woll ropaid'for the fatiguo: ~~Those who suffered losa of property, or whose familios were lessonod or laid up on an invalid's bed, wero known to everybody in the community, and honco all were anxious to gratify their curlosity so far ss the farms and improvomenta wero concorned, and +o spoak ‘words of comfort and sympathy to the wounded. THE GHUROHES. This is a religlous city in evory senso of tho word, and consequontly ovorything runs smooth- ly. Thers are twolvo seotarian organizations, and twolve churches,—two United Prosbyterian, one Covonantor, s Baptiat, a Socedor, a Congre- gationaliat, & Methodist, one for Unitod Breth- Ten, African Methodist, and a Oatholic. The Ohurch of God have an organization, but no ministor. Thore aro also a few Second Advent- ists, but thoy do not meot regularly. 'The only denominations not represented are the Unitarinne, Eplecopalisns, and Universal- iats, As there is now ono church to overy 260 men, women, and cluldron, it is doubtful if the thrao latter entor this woll- oultivated vinoyard, All tho pastors to-dsy foolingly reforred to tho calamity, not looking upon it ad a visitation of God for eins, for thet would be absurd insuch s bright community, but a8 an ovidence of His mighty power, and an admonition that tho goods to bo aceumulated in this world are unstable and perishable, Bympa- thy was expresaed for the sfllictod families, and tho statoment made that tho dead, if they had lived a just lifo, were beyond tho reach of torna~ does and windy disturbancas. BTATEMENT OF JOHN WISEMAN, The dispatch sent last night from here cov- ered the Whole ground of the oyclone in this ocounty, but it was g0 long as to provent the tol- egraphing of sovoral interviews with intelligent peraons who are familiar with the ground and Tavo special advantages for giving information. X had a long convorsation with John Wiseman, oditor of the Washington Gazefle, on Baturdsy morning, and learncd many intoresting facts from -him. His statomont is subjoined : The atorm commenced about 2 o'slack on Thursdsy aftornoon, somewhere in Keokuk County, the exack location belng impomsible to ascer- taln, but it was probably a fow miles wost of Lanonstor. That town was almost entirely dostroyed. There wore about twenty houses within ita limits, and the inhabitants numbored 150. The cyclone, tornado, hurricane, whirl- wind, or whatever you chioose to call it, was tho strongost blow ever exporionced in this Wostern country. It camo on ina northeast direotion, passing north of Talleyrand, and about threo miles south of Kiots, through the German set- tlement, destroying & vast amount of property, farmhouses, barns, granaries, - ehods, corn- oribs, and fonces, and oarrying.off cattle, hogs, shesp, chickens, turkeys, and geose, and every- thing that came within reach, When it struck the Washington County line the tor- nado seemed to have ralsed snd jumpod a torri- tory sbout ten miles long. Touohing tho ground again, it caught up everyihing in its path. It slighted first at Frank Brown's, six milos north- weat of Washington, It remained on the ground for six or eight miles, pasaing up to tho High- 1and Township line, where it llfted again, coming down in Mlidlsnd Township, but not doing any considerablo damago. In that township, the storm must havoe exhausted - ftself, as we have no mnows of any destruc- tion of property boyond there. North of Washington, the buildings on tho farma of Mr. Osldwell, Mr, Gilchrist, Houry Walters, J, 0. Cunningham, Thomas Walters, J. P, Bab- cock, Jacob Zeck, Mr. Garrlngor, Mr. Korr, and of saveral others wero totally destroyod. Mrw, Henry Waltera waa killed almout inatantly, and ono of her twin children, whick was fouud in her arms, dled the noxt morning, Two others of hor childron wore at school when that build- ing was blown down, and they wera sorlously hurt, The remsining twin was in the house when that was blown away, but he escaped injury, altongh found in the yard, Mr, Gibson had a vory fino | and. CHICAGO, MONDAY, MAY 26, barn, probably the bost in the connty, demolishad, Mr. Baboook’s Yentdence, the most substantial in the neighborhood, was reduced to splintors, A part of it was carrlod o mile awny and dumped {uto a slough, Mr, Zock’s houso was lifted from the foundations into the air and broken up, the fragmonts bolng scattorod Iike chaf?. Tho dwell- ing of Mr. Davidson, who lived noar Jaokson township, waa struck and thrown down. Ho was killod, and & hired hand namocd Housol was 8o Dbadly out up that ho died in s fow hours, - In mearly all tho housos I lave mentioned some ono was maimed or killed, Tho Huddle- ford schiool-houso was dostroyed. It was located noar Thomas Walters® houo, fronting ‘the road- way, The achool was in session, and the toacher and ‘noarly all tho scholara wore brilsed, half b | dozen of. them badly injured, throo of whom sro A daughter of Houry| Robmel, who was In tho school-hiouse, was car-, not oxpeoted to lve. riod about a quarlor of o milo and orushed al- most to a jelly. Thore woa apparontly not o whole bono in her body. It s s wondor that ‘all thio childron wore not killod. Tho forgo of tho storm was torrifio, the ground Jooking as if an im- ‘monao flood had passcd ovor jt. A noar as oan Do loarnod, tho cxtont of tho whirlvind was thirty miles long by s quarter of a mile wide, aithough 1t varied in some places o fow rods in; width, At some polnis it wasanly a fow yard ‘widle apparently, and thon agnin 1t Bkipped largo’ trats, dolug no harm whatover. Whoro it nlightod, nothing could arrost. its progross.. A honvy iron oylinder was thrown Lalf a milo, and osttlo wolghlng over a thou- cand poutds. were lmooked about as if thoy were calves, Tho buildings were redaced to kindling waod. “Fonco-posts wore torn out of tho ground) aud for thoussnds of sores thoro is 1o distingulshing line botwoen the fiolds, tho Toter Wyl blliored almost il truces: of o . o timbors were o Goamty Ismboddad in the agfl Hia, TA0RE WL 80: removed, and thero are pieces of Jand 50 full of those stlcks that they rosomble tho back of o porcupine, and it is doubital i thoy cou be cul- ivated until the waod decays.

I have sndeavored to outimato the loss to proporty, and my jndgmont ia that it will bo botwoon $50,000 and 876,000, In Washington County, ten or cleven porsons wero killed outright or havo died since, and tho wounded probably number thirty. * Bome of them wero 80 severely injured thal they are nob oxpected to live. BTATEMENT OF COL. BENJAMIN CRADD. Trom Col. Benjamin Orabb I learnod that Mr. Zook's iouso was turnod ontirely around and somowhat twlsted, thongh not rondored unin- Dabitablo.

ABLE. This morning I had a protracted_conversation witl Horace 8. J. Able, who Las lived in Iowa for thirty yoars, He Luows everybody, and his occupation, propriotor of n stago Lino, brings liim incoptack with poolo from ' all parts of the _Stato. o is _loguacious and woll-informed, snd probably knowa o8 much about tho 'ravagos of the whirlwind ag ton or trvonty ordinary people. From him I ob- tainad the following account of it: I wasin tho barn getling roady to go down to tho 4 o'cloclk train, whon I first heard tho roaring of tho storm. It camo from thonorthenst. Wo waitad Lialf au Liour to eoo what it would amount to, and thon hitchod up. When refurning the wind com- manced_to biow, “aud a galo airick tio wogon o when we wore on north sida, of tho town., A lasdy passonger _gob “out thore, and sho - was lurried = around go that wo could hardly got her in the house. Tho gust lasted only a miute or two, The sun was shining brightly at the time, and the roaring passed to the north, In tho course of an hour roports came in from that direction that fearful domage had becn dono. When I went to the 6 o'clook train I mot poople from Sigournoy, who had hailatones whick they had picked up theroat 7 o'olock, I moasured ong, and it was 6 inches in ciroumforence. That was threo hours aftor it had- fallon. Reports continuo to come in lator from tho north, and thoro was much oxcltoment smong, the poople. Oliver Broom was tlie first in, aud overy vohicle thnt could bo seccured was engaged, and hundreds of poople .went out to sco what damage was dono and at- tend to the wants of thoso Who woro 8aid to bo wounded. All tho horsos in town were engoged for to-day also, and noarly avarxbnd{ in town has gono out in carrisges or on foot. I could not fiud out whoro the storm started. The first wo heard of it was cight milos west from lhoro, According to all accounts, ita courso was s littlo north of east for about 8 miles, whon it took a northwest course towards Wost Liberty, whero it ended. Yoster- day morning roports camo in from Lancaster, 80 ‘miles from Lero, in the forka of the Bkunk liiv- er, that that town had been destroyod, all tho bulldings boing wwopt away, Afior tho storm left tho vicinity of Washingtou, I noxt heard of it at Muscatino, whoraa great doal of rain fell, end the stroets and collars woro tlooded. Pas- songors_ who lhad beon to Dos Bloinos Davenport say the horge-cars could mot be run, the animala becoming ungovernable on account of the storm, and baying to bo tied up. That i5'as far enst as tho storm seems to have gono, although tho lateat eastorn travelers tell me that Prairie Oity, in Iilinols, was touched violently. Northeast of Washington & dozon farms sworo loveled of overything above the ground. A cook-stove be- on:]gmg to Mr. Babcock was carried bialf o mile, and was not vory badly damagoed. Trees woro torn out of the ground and reduced to kindling-wood; horses and cows wero knocked down and killed, and pieces of flying boards wero driven through fhiahoiliey of aapme thety, (aslening them fo the onrth, Carriages and wagous wore demolished, ond no remnants of them can found ln{- where on the farms of tho ownors. Nearly all of Gibson's stock was' killed, Holad six fab stocra, which were sold to be dolivered on Fri- doy, and the butchers wont out yostordsy and brought their carcasses to town, Ton oradozen cople woro killed and about twenty wounded. Tiavo nob seen any of them, and therefore can- not toll you about thom. Forty hogs were Killod on Cunningham's farm,and all the cattloon his place. His house was blown off the founda- tion, and tho grain in his granary into the cellar, 1t would bo & good place to starEa mill now. Ono bulldinq in that neighborhood wasturned around 80 that 1t faced contrary to what it did originally. It now stands on only a few foot of the collar walls, A young man named Laughesd, who was plauting corn on his fatbor's farm, heard tho storm coming, and started for the Louse, leaving the planter in the fleld. Whon near tho building. the Lurricano over- fook him ond he dropped fiat in the road, Thocloud jumped over him, but csught nt the planter and carriod it a great distauce, The utorm cloud did not cover n space of moro than thirty o1 forty rods in width, A lady who camo in from Ieots told mo that sho watchod the storm with & grent deal of interest, Bhe sm it boating downon Kooa, and. ths heoplo thon made up their minds that it was comiug on their dwellings. It didu't, though, taking a turn to tho right when about thres miles off. The damayo in this county will bo abont $100,000, Mr. Baboock had §1,800 in notes which belonged to an catate ho fasettling. Thoy wero blowa away, a4 wero 8100 in groonbncks, Six feathor- beds that woro in Mis, Cununingham’s bouse cannot be found, nor cun any traces of the chairs bo discovered, oxcopt & few pioces which were picked up in & slough a quarter of a mile from lho house. All the clothing and furniture in tho houses was swopt away, and tho peoplo who saved thoir clothes had to come to town to got olean shirté for Buudey. A German who lived at Loncaster loat 3,000 in cash, Tho storm took it, but could uot possibly havo any upe forit, A womau who lived near {thut town had hor head blown off, and her body cut in two, They found' portions of her body in soveral places. Glbson's Louso was bullt in the saotions, They tried to cloto tho doors befora tho wind reached it, but could not keep thumn shut, Tho oyclone striick the rearend of tho hiouso firat, and turned it around, separating it from 1873. tho front portion. Mrs, Gibon and Ler ohild woro near tho - dividing lino, and fell Into the collar, Two invalid ohildron who had boon putinto n feathor bod for soourity wero found #omo distance from the bullding, tho bod having beon 1ifted up and carried thore bfi tho wind, "They woro almost smothered, belug hiddon from viow by timbor and liay piled up on top of them, Nolther raceived & scratol, The corner of the corn-shollor was thrown a quarier of a milo. DBaboook’s family woro not at homo. Thoy were at a noighbor's houso which was not touched, His son and s hired mom wont into tho cellar for fn’uluoun ~bus they suddenly found themselvos in a: ulou%h forty rods from tho houso, and say thoy cannot toll how thoy got thore, I 'think thoy wore frightencd and ron into tilo slough _witliout knowing it. Idonot bollove they- wore blown thoro, Most of the mustorial enrried away by the storm was droppod into tho sloughs. Honsohold utensils,” corn, boards, cattlo, sheep, and ollokens wore thrown into pifes, Bome of tho corn-flolds look ns if hops. were, to .bo grown thero.” The storm movod forward, in 'a wigzag way, .some- times .northesst and. eomotimoa’ morth- wost. Xt went: within & few yards of dome lLouscs, and n&p.rcnfl ohinnged its mind, going alther to tho right or leff. Two mon who wore coming along the rond eaw throo atorm-clouds—a large ono and two smallor onas —appronohing, and . thoy took . rofuge- in tho Qtch, dosorting tholr team. Tho largost cloud went to the right, aud tho other two on ecithor sido of thom, but not moar enough to affoct themi, though the' roaiing waa vory loud, aud toy" were® badly - frigitoned. | Evory’ ono thal I .talked with. 'who ‘had ~ soon. tho big oloud eald it ‘was shapod liko a ‘balloon, and was a8 black as the-blackest night, No ono could seo into it, but after it pussed the romnants of buildings and barne marked ita ath, The whola forco of tho storm seemod to concontratad in the clouds, booanso whoro it skipped for four or flve miles no injury was done, I havo lived in Towa for thirty years, and nover heard of such astorm boforo. ~ Wo used to have, ‘yoars ago, &- great miany gales, and somotimos hurricanes, but: nomo’ of thom equaled fast omo. ‘In 1843, ore wan & ado ‘ in Juftdrgon County, which moved a swath in_the forests Tur asyoral milos, but no lives woro lost, bocauso yery fow peoplo lived thero, Thorowas anothor twolve yoars ago, which blew down a public_school-iouse, ‘ho Oamanche atorm, about fourtoon yoars ago, which wont from thero over into 1llinofs, was a big one, but it did not 1ostlong. I think this Inst ono onme into Wash- ington oun? about ton miles from horo, I have heard of it pine miles off. Some damage was dono boyond, but it don’t amount to much, Tho hall Btorm scemed bo distinct. Hail foll at Bigournsy, asItold you, but thero waa scarcely sy wind, Wo had o litlo Lail nt ‘Washington, but only one guat of wind, Axnim- mengd qualtity of wator fell all over the coun~ iry, but L do not shink. tho crops will bo dam- aged materially. It stormed Yn ‘Washington Thursday morning, but tho weather was elearing up whe:l“ tlau aych:in:h arose. The air was vory warm sy _and tho Bun Waa Blining bri| hon the rumbling commenced. S PUENHY J. K, WARDLERG statos that 'he heard the storm coming and vang aut to seo it, taking s position on the porol o1 his dwelling. He saw Gibson’s house, about half amilo distant, litted up and broken In plecos alargo cloud, donsely black, which sdemod di~ Jidod nto. two columns near tho base, boin about 100 feet apart, snd making s vists throu; which he could 0o for somo distanco south. The two colamns ran up to a hoight of about 60 {eot, whon they joined the body of the oyelono, Tho cloud in tho other portion extonded up- wards apparently 60 feot. Tho columus advanced regularly, but tho loft ono seomad to turn to the loft and the right to tho right. The school- house, which was on the north sido of tho rond, wag tunod round to the northonst, aud shot off in that diroction, while Hory Walters' dwolling, opposite, was turned to the northward, and tho fragments seatfered to tho wind. The tomado nssed in about five minntos, and jmmodiately ho rain bogan to doscond {n torrents. Tho clond came towards his dwolling, snd thinking it would strike tho school-houso, whoro four of his childron woro, ho ran towards that building to rsouo thom. * On his way ho was lifted up snd carriod twonty foot. Turning to seo if his houso was in donger, o obmerved tho clond pasing near it. Only thio out-houses, Lowaver, camo within its circlo. o doos nof think tho tornado proper struck Lt honao, but that it was the circumam- Diont wind, Whon he roached tho slto of the seliool-house he could sec nothing of the struc- turo or the childron. Ho must havo hoen Aomo- what bowildored, or tho rear ond of . the oyclone obstructed Lis vision, Buddonly, in tlio very spot, toward. which hig_cyos wor dirsetod, tio childron sppesred in & cluster. 1'wo of his boya wero elightly hurt, THE REV. 0. WILLIAMBON, pastor of the Firat Prosbyteriay Churoh, whoso ‘congrogation suffored most, dovoted his sermon this morning to tbo calamity. The house was full, Hia toxt wae-from tho firat chapter of Nalium sud the third yorso: *Thoe Lord hath Dis way m tho whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds’ are the dust of Lis feck. His conchi- sions wore that tho oyclono was a visitation of God sent ke the plaguos of Egyptto demonstrato His power. Tho congregation was melted totanrs, Mr. Williameon; in tho courso of & converantio, Bpoko of Alr.

A glass lamp was loft on Gibson's floor unbrokon, aud a number of glass jars wore oarriod soveral miles uninjured. A photograph of Mr. Wilson, former pastar of, tho church, wes carriod seven miles Bway from Gibbons, ‘Aman named Dakor was driving a male toam' before uhu(,‘;Ey, ‘when tho storm oamo long, unbitolied tho mulos, carriod them somo distance, dopositod them 'in o hedgo, at the sumo timo that it smashed tho vohilcle into little bits and brokoe the ribs of Mr. Baker, who is not oxpacted to recovor.

According to tho best estimate, tho rosult of tho storm go far us heard {rom aro twolve persona killed, thirty wounded, thicty buildings dostrayod, forty lorage, ninat cows, over 1,000 shoep, numborlosy hogs au izoul‘ry. and {lio crops and timbor on tho llne of he atorm, . THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. This afternoon X made apocial efforts to ascor- tain the numbor killed and_wounded in Keokuk and Washington Gountios, but, in the absouco of communication with the formor, was unsuccoss- ful 8o far a that county fa concorned.
