DIFFICULTY IN GETTING NEWS OF MARSH- FIELD'Y DESTRUCTION, Bpectat Dippatch to Tha Chicago Tribune, . 8r. Louis, Mo., April 10.—Information re- garding tho ‘destruction of Marshfleld, in this State, by Sunday night's tornndo Is still com- paratlvely meagre. Tho wires on the Atlan- tle & Pacific Road are down fora long dis- tance, and communication between Marsh- field and the nearest station where the wires are working fs had only by wagon. Two™ gangs of men from cach end of the break are employed in replacing poles and wires, Tho wires during to-day wero attached along fences and trees, but a fresh break occurred at some point, and the only communteation recelyed during. the day up to ‘5 o'clock, at lenst over the St, Louis & San Francisco line, was from Conwny Sta- tion, fifteen miles this side of Bfarshfield. Dispatches were brought: to Conway from Marshfield by wagon, and from thence trans- mitted over tho wires to Suporintendent Rodgors, of the St. Louls & San Francisco Road. From this sourco it was learned that there were thirty-nine porsons killed and olghty-three wounded at Marshfield. Among the killed wore tho wife and child of Judge Fyen, Dr. Bradford and son, ond a man named Wright and his wife, From accounts received here to-night from Lebanon, It ap- pears that the STORM WAS A TORNADO coming nearly from the wost and reaching “Marshiistd a little after 6 o'clock Sunday night. Tho town was literally torn in plecas, and, after the tornado had pnased, fire broke outamong tho rulns In several ploces, and raged unchecked, Tho night was vory dark and stormy after the tornado, and not untlt midnight did the messengers sont for help reach Soringflold. On thelr arrival there many of the physicians In Springfield wont to the country to attend those who were In- jured, Tho telegraph lines east of Spring- field were down after 6 in tho evening and ALL NIGHT, A special engine was sent’ east to look for the trouble. It returned at 8 a. m., bringing from Marshfield the nows of the disastrous storm at that place?and asking for ald to take care of the wounded. ‘The news spread rapidly through Springfold, and at 5 o'clock, 8m. & car-lond of physicians, nurses, and. such assistants as wers needed were ready, and wero dispatched by a spectal train, reach- ing Marshtiold at 6 o'clock this morning, ONE DISPATOH FROS LEBANON saya that Marshilold now presents a terrible appearance, there being not more than twelve os fitteen houses In the town that aro not damaged or totally destroyed. ‘The Court- ‘Tfouse and many other bulldings took fire, and tho horror of a conflagration was added to the already disastrous offccts of the tor- nado. One case of house being visited in search of victims resulted in the finding of two children killed outright, and one other lying with its Iegs under the fallon timbers, and shattered so as to require amputation. ‘Tho older membors of this family ware no- where to be found. An another caso A WOMAN WAS LOST, and no trace could be found of hor at alt, ‘These are only two of many Instances simi- Jar incharacter, and to write a description of the horrible suffering of all would be an utter impossibillty, Tho violence of the storm was such that trees three fect through wore for & space of several hundred yards wide lifted entirely out of the ground, limbs twisted off, and | splitinto kindling wood, and the bark of trees peeled off as if struck by lightning. Telegraph poles: were twisted off at the ground.as if they had bean nothing, wires’ Wore car carried hundreds of rods into the tlm- er, and TIED AND KNOTTED AMONG THE LIDS as if they were made of cotton-yarn, Mr, J, O, Parker, of Chicago, was among the passengors on the St. Louls & San Fran- cisco train that arrived here this morning at 6:40 o'clock. When the train was passing Marshfleld It was‘noticed that he town was on fire, This was about 8 o’clock, During the few moments the train remalned there It ‘was boarded by an'exolted crowd of the peo- pic of the town, who wanted to know ff 1 physicfan was on board. One was found. Tho only information that Mr, Parker re- celyed was that THY, CYCLONE PASRED OVER THE PLACE at about 7 o'clock in the evening, after which the fire oceurred. ‘Tho depot had not been damaged, but the scene as witnessed’ from the train was one of wildest exeltement. W. HL. Helme, the matl agent on the St. Louls & San Francisco train, said thoy struck the rain-storm at Verona, in Lawrence County, and {t raged slong the whole route. They reached Marshfield about 8 o'clock in the'erening, They noticed the RAPLUCTION OF THE. FINE against the sky soma time before thoy reached the town. Willlam Sinith, the Post- master of the town, entered the earns soon asthe train arrived, and sald that the office had been totally destroyed, and sent an order with the ngent fora now mall key. He said that Sheriff Johnson and his whole family had been Imprisoned in tho ruins, and it was supposed had been killed, He reported fifty killed and.100 wounded. He asked that word be left at Lebanon forall the physicians to ‘| poonto Marshficti. Mr. Melme says that when he arrived there he found all the doc- torsoutin the country ; ATTENDING TATIRNTS wno MAD DEEN IN- au) by the storm. The servicesof the only phyal- clan on the train were secured, Among othor details received at the rail- road office are tho following: One rallroad-section house on the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway was blown down near Dixon, It wason the topof the hill- side, on the other ‘sido of Gasconade. One child was badly hurt. At Phillipsburg, fifteen mites this side of Marshileld, a house blew over and two chil- dren were killed. ‘The storm at Springfield was preceded by a heavy fall of leaves and brush. ‘The Cutholic Church, just erected at Cuba, on the St. Louis & San Franelseo Rall- road, 90 miles from St Louls, was blown down by the storm Sunday night. _ MANSHFIELD, THE SCENE of the unfortunate catastrophe of Sunday night, is the county-sent of Webster County, and situated on the line of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, about 215 miles from. this city. Tho county is named after Daniel Webster, while the town I{t- self, the oldest in that region, is named after his country seat, It is Jocated on a plateau of tho Ozark Mountalus. Its position fs exposed, but it is not as ele- vated as Springfield. “Its population 1s estl+ mated at about 3,500, Since the extension of the railroad through Webster County in 1870 quite an impetus has been given to Marsh- fiekt, It was a thriving lttte place, contain- ing a bank, two grain elevators, two nows- papers, two hotels, a jewelry store, 0 large book store, two commission and produce stores, a large hardware store, and seyeral smaller establishinents, LATEST DISPATCHES giving Information of the situation at Sfarsh- field say that thore {s scarcely s person in the elty who was not more or less injured, though the total numbor of deaths will not probably execed 100, Twelve houses are left standing In the town. Tho inhabitants are without shelter, and the depot building and twenty empty cars standing there are crowd- ed with the sufferers. The scene is deacribed as pitinble in the extreme. The people arcin want ofboth food ond vlothing, and neigh- boring towns aro supplying, tho want as rap- -Idly.as pdssIblee ‘The seksch-among theruins. |. is still going on, as it is supposed that tha nilssing people are buried among them, At half past 11 to-night dispatch was re- ceived at St. Louls asking for a fot of empty bowx-ears to bosent in. which to shelter tho Marsifleld people, NEARLY FIFTY PEOPLE KILLED OUTRIIIT. To the Western Aasoctated Press, St. Lours, Mo., April 19.—From passengers who passed through Marshfield, Mo., on the St. Louls & San Francisco Raftrond, at 8:30 Jast night, a few facts concerning the terrible disaster which visited that place are gleaned. Aman who came to the depot, at tha edge of the town, while tho train was there, reported thut at 6:30 o’clock n furious hurricanestruck Marshfield, and leveled all that part of the town lying west of the contre square flat to the ground, Tho débris immediately took fire in soyeral places, and tho flames could be scen at somo half-dozen points by passengers on the train, * FORTY DEAD noptrs had beon taken out, and many more were supposed to be burled in the ruins or burned up. There wero also many Iying still im- prigoned in the débris of fallen buildings, All the physicians of tho town were. killed excepting two, and there was great need of doctors to attend the wounded, of whom It wns sald there were somo 200, + . Arellof train with twenty physicians and nurses, and full supplies, left Springfleld, Mo., this morning for Marshflold. Probably other trains will arrive during the day, TNE STORM WAS GENERAL in Southwestern Missouri, and other places probably suffered damnge, but as the tele graph wires are all prostrated no advices have been received. A violent hall and rain accompanied the wind. —. A telegram from Springfield, via Vinita and Kansas City, to 0. W. Rogers, General Man- ager of the St, Louis & San Francisco Rall- road, says a hurricane passed a fow miles south of Springfleld about 7 o'clock Jnst night, doing an Immense smount of damnago and killing oF great number of people. Fifty deaths aro reported on James River, six miles south of Springfleld, and a great many persons are iuissing. The traindispatcher of Conway, fourteon miles this sldoof Marshfield, reports arriving thore from Springfield at 11 ‘o'clock, and says hoe found a terrible country from Northview, soven niles west of Marshfield, to tho Intter point, ‘I'rees three feot through are ontiroly out of tip ground, . TELEGRAVH-VOLES TWISTED OFF, andoverything wrecked. In the ‘Town of Marshfleld, brick as well as frame buildings were torn down, We «id not seo more than half a dozon people as wo came through that town. Tho placa seemed deserted. The doctors and nurses who came on our train from Springfeld, about twenty In number, wont fromthe depot alone to hunt up the opie, thare being no one at the depot to re- celyo then, A TELIRY TRAIN was sent from Lebanon to Marshflold at day- Nght this morning with about fifty doctors, nurses, and helpers, and full supplies of provisions, clothing, and medicine stores, a also material for repalring the telegraph ine, The line is downat different points be- | tween Springfield and Conway, perhaps ten niles altogethor, A new Catholic church at Cuba, ninety miles from hore, was blown down, ‘No dam- age was done the rallroad except the deatruc- ton of one small section house, -| THE NAMNS OF THE KILLED AND WOUNDED ut Marghfleld are not recelyed yet, telegraphic -communication not belyg restored at this writing, ‘There are also reports here that the City of Granby, about 100 miles southwest of Spring- field, is greatly damaged, LATER DETAILS, Aspecial to the Post-Dispatch trom Leb- anon says the tornado which caused such frightfut havoc at Marshficld tast night passed entirely through Green and Webster Counties, following the course of the James River In a northeasterly direction. It struck the St. Louls & San Franeisco Railroad in four places and left It near Frank's Station, 110 miles this side of Marshfeld. ‘The latter place presents a terrible appearance, there not being more than « dozen houses un- harmed in the entire town, The Court-House and many other buildings took fire, and the scene and effects were of A DIRKADPUL, CHARACTER, At ono house two children wore found dead. Another was badly mangled but still alive. ‘The parents could not be found. In another case 8 woman was lost entirely, Shescems to have been carried away bodily. No details of the calainsty have yet been recelved. The force of the wind stripped the bark from trees, and lifted others entirely out of the grotnnd, and telegraph poles and wires were carried hundreds of rods into the woods and tied and knotted smong the Iimbs of trees as though they were cotton strings. Everything possible {s belng done to nasist and succor the wounded, not only at Marsh- fleld, but nat other places. Physicians throughout the country are flocking to the polnts most injured, and doing all they can to allevinte the suffering. Doctors went from Springfield to the James River country, six miles south, ns well as to Marshfleld, and scores of kind-hearted people have volun- teered as nurses. Capt. Itogers, General BMannger of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, is sending special trains with rellef wherever any good can be done, and all are doing everything posstble to ald the injured and dying, WORSK AND WORSH—STILL LATER. Telegraph communication with Marshfield 1g restored to-night, but only one wire ls working, and the prospects. of getting full details of the ravages of tho storin ore very poor. Capt. C. W. Rogers,'General Manager af the St. Louls & San Francisco Railroad, just recelved the following from D, IL Nichols, Assistant Superintendent: Advices are coming In constantly from dif: ferent parts of the country, showing that many were killed or injured In remote dis- tricts. It is believed many farmers’ famities have been destroyed and not yet reported. Seven of the wounded on James River died this afternpon and five at Marshfield. At the Iatter place ALT. 18 CONFUSION, and the people are in such an excited state that it is almost impossible to get any intel- Ngiblo report. Many families are homeless, and have taken refuge in our depot and the empty cara standing at the stations, The front rooms of the Court-House are still standing, and ‘have been converted into a morgue. Tho school building ts used fora hospital. Upto 7p. m. they have a death- Ust of seventy-elght, and the prospect of in- ereasing It before morning. Many are yet missing, and a number of people have been buried, of whom no record hasbeenkent.

Only fourteen buildings are left standing, and not a house {n town but is more or less injured, A large number of eltizens from Lebanon and Springfield are doing all they can to re- Neve the suffering. A car-load of provisions was sent from Springfield to-tay, and contributions are com- ing from all tho towns along the line of road, Clothing of all kinds fs needed badly, as inany famillics lost everything they had in the way of wearing apparel, and were left with only what they had on, WISCONSIN, TERRIBLE DISASTERS IN ROCK COUNTY, Spectat Dupatch to The Chteago Tribune, TAaNFsvitiy, Wis. April 19.—Tho most de- structive wind-storm that ever visited Rock County struck the Village of Shoptere, about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, passing throigh the Townships of Turtle, Laprairle, Bradford, and Johnstown, causing dainage to buildings, fences, catttle, and timber {to tho extent of probably $100,000, Your correspondent spent the entire doy fol- lowing up the track of the cyclone, and words fail him in which to express the terrible fury of the storm, Its course seemg to huve been very irregular, and persons who were eye witnesses say that {t appeared Hko an im- mense black waterspout, at times being high in air, then: descending to the earth and sweeping all before ft, ‘The first damage was on the west side of the Village of Shoplere, where it struck the large orchard of John Hopkon, uprooting 100 fine apple trees, carrying some of thom out of sight. It then swept through the village, doing tho following damnge: Dr, Beil’s barn was entirely removed from tho foundation and damaged about $50, E, D. Mosloy’s {blacksmith and woodshop and house were wrecked; damage, $1,000, Mra, Randall’s barn and some outbulldings wero destroyed; loss, $300, Henry Sweet's barn WAS UNROOFED; also James Parker's barn, and other damage to other buildings on thelr places, ‘The brick atoro of Robert Downs was par- tlally unroofed; damage, $600, John Shimeal’s now barn was blown down; losa, $200, The barns of ‘Thomas Tolimes and George Sears were damaged about $300, The Methodist church and sheds were damnged about $600, 9 partof the eburch roof golng away across the street and belng wrecked, George Culver’s stono jaca was unroofed, and one wall blown out, A now bridge across Turtle Creek, about four rods long, was torn to pleces and blown into the creck, The tron roof was blown off the latgo stono mill of George Scars, ‘ TORN TO suREDS, and. scattered in all directions;' damage to bridge and mill, $3,000, ‘Tho storm then crossed tha creek and struck the large house of EK, J, Dole, taking tho roof paver ‘off and damaging it greatly in- aide. It totally demolished two very large bara breaking them into kindlmgwood, and scat- tering the pieces :for. nearly half a mile. ‘Threa fine horses {n the barns were killed and area others badly injured, Loss, prob- ably From Dole's it passed through a ploce’ of {imber, breaking tho trees like matches. On __ The hieago Baily Tribune, , the opposit side of the timber was the house of J. W. Thomas, agent of the Chicago & agtigesten Railway at Shopler Station. us HOUSE AND ITS COMPLETE CONTENTS * Were totally destroyed, not a pleca of wool being left on the foundation, The family had retreated to’ the cellar, A neworgan was blown out of the house, carried twenty rods, and part of it left hanging to telegraph-lines, IInd the house and furniture been run through an ore-crushor the destruction would not have been mora complete, Bedding and clothing were all carried away and scattered over the country for miles, «The depot was unroofed, and one ond of It blown away, ‘The storm thon crossed the rallrond-track, passing close to. the rear of the hose of C. W. Stark, slightly dainaging the house, but TOTALLY DEMOLISHING his barn and outbuildings and fences, and uprooting over 100 frult-trees, The Hon. William Hl, Stark was noxt visited. Ils ‘orchard of some seventy-five trees was uprooted, many of the trees being carried a long distance. Seventy hives of bees in the orchard were hurled about like autumn leaves; alarge number of shade- trees were destroyed, and hardly a bitot fencing left on his place. His house, 0 jarge, square stone structure, was partially un- roofed, and every window blown out. ‘Tiree large = barns = and —sgeyoral other outbuildings were totally doe stroyed and senttered far and wide. ‘The loss to the Messrs. Stark is probably $4,000, ‘The Starks were both in the orchard through the whole storm, holding on to trees, and thelr ESCAPE FROM DEATH is miraculous, the alr being filled with all kinds of débris. P Thestorm then swept down the road, tak- Ing all fences.and stong walls in its track, and struck the vlace of ‘Thomas Holmes, about a mije beyond. A two-story house and two barns were torn all to. bits, hardly a vlace ten feet long being left. The contents were also totally destroyed. The.house was occupied by George Fearns, his wife, and five children, He, with two children, had just gotinto the cellar, and the balance of the family was about to follow, when the storm struck the house, CARRYING MIS. FEARNS AND THRRE CHll- DREN away with the débris, Innding them some forty. rods away ina field. The children wera but little injured, but the Indy: was quite serlously hurt. Fearns had $740 in his pocketbook, which was carried away, Tho book was found? but nothing init. This afternoon part of the money was found over halfamile away. His wagons, farming im- plements, and tools were all destroyed. Directly opposit Fearns’ place the large stone houseand stone barnsof KR, W. Schenck were struck, The house was unroofed and its “Instde badly damaged. The barns had extra heavy stone walls, yet ALL- WERE RAZED TO TIE GROUND, Stones weighing tons were hurled about Itke chaff, ‘Two horses were killed outright, and two wounded, Several wagons, sleighs, reapers, and other farming implements were broken to pleces, and a wind-mill blown avay. In fact, nothing was left but the walls of the house. Heavy timbers from the barns were carrjed half a mile away. The storm then jumped across tho valley, about a mille, and struck the place of S.S. Hart, totally destroying his house and Sts contents, ‘Seven people were: In .the house, on the.first floor, and wero left standing In. their places, uninjured. Barns, sheds, corn- cribs, and a feed-inill were totally wrecked, Charles Youmans was in the barn-yard, and was CAURIED AWOUT IN TIE AIR ko a fiyIng leaf, and finally Janded unin- jured on top of a woodpile, About sixty fine fruit-trees were uprooted, Total loss about $3,000, J. IL Merville, a farmer, adjoining, had his barn unroofed and damaged about $500, It then passed enst some two miles, tin- roofed the barn of Mr. McCullough, de- stroyed a large quantity of fence and wall for Robert Lillourn, destroying his orchard and unroofing his Jarge barn, killing two valua- ble cows. Loss, probably $1,000. STILL FURTHER ALONG IN ITS PATIE toward the northeast the cyclono struck Mr, Anderson’s house, on the Lamb farm. This was demolished entirely, and the lives of the family not only greatly endangered, but Mrs, Anderson was badly Injured, and It was reported this morning that she was dying, but this 1s thought by others to be rather of an exaggeration, When the storm reached Johnstown ithnd narrowed the cut of Its swath somewhat, and seemed but a few rods wide, but its fury was terrible, Itswept away everything In Ite path, As vearly ag can by ascertalued ae the present writing, IT REACHED JOINNSTOWN about half an hour after it struck Shoplere. ‘There was some rain and a great deal of hall both before and afterthe whirl of the wind. ‘The house of Lyman II, Richardson was completely demolished and scattered In all directions, and but ttle trace could be got of the contents of the house, ‘Tho famlly sought safoty in the cellar as thoy snw the storm on- proach, and the house above them was swept away without any Injury falling to them. It was a two-story frame house, and was built quite substantial, When tho wind REACHED THE COUNTY-DUJLDING it quickly snatched the roof off that one oc cupted by the Insane, laying ‘completely baro onv side of It and Jifted the building a foot or more off its foundation, ‘Tho main build- Ing on the Poor-House farm also suffered much damage, The entire roof was carried off one wing. The trees all about the piace were torn up by tho roots; fences were scat- tored about like playthings in the hands of 5 glant. ‘The track of the storm could bo easily scen and the: swath it cut was so clear that it is still marked AS THOUGH A FIRE HAD RUN ALONG, destroying overything. No one as far as heard from was Injured at Johnstown, but the damage to property and to stock was great, No such storm as this has swept across this county for years, ‘Tho amount of damage cannot be estimated, but all along Its path buildings have been shaken to pleves and scattered, folluge has been twisted {nto noth- Ingness, cattle have been killed, and doubt- Jess a larger number of persons than those teported have been more or tess Injured. In places the storin ussumed the violent cyclone form, and, catching an object, would carry it up with lightning speed, and would tear a building to pieces ike scatturing the strawa of a sheaf. It Js probable that [¢ will be somu time before all the damage caused will be knowa.
