Investigation makes apparent the fact that the tornado was strongest just before it struck the city. On the Thair place,, less than a half mile be- ond the southwestern corporate line, the demolition of buildings in the track of the storm was absolute, Trees were torn and twisted Into splintered fragments; the timbers of houses were ripped into shreds and scattered for hundreds of yards in tile direction taken by the wind, while even grass and weeds were not Im mune from the voracious sweep o' the holocaust.

Denson's store was lifted from its foundations, and the upper half of the building was cut off as though It ‘had been severed by a giant saw. The lower half of the building was left intact, while the upper portion was scatter ed, in small fragments, over acres of ground, Near the store was the dwelling of Alfred Andershn, a worthy colored man. In the house jVere Anderson's wife, Rosetta, and his two children. The building was as completely shat tered as though a mountain had fal len upon It.

The loss is estimated (if $50,000, and will more probably prove more than less than that amount. Mr. W. E. Gannaway estimates his less at $2,000. This damage includes the. loss of a store 1 , two stories in height, on the corner of Residence and Madison streets, and at his at tractive dwelling ( on Monroe Btreet, where chimneys and outhouses wefts destroyed. Of fourteen Cottages on Madison and Residence streets owned by Mr. A. P. Vason, ten were destroyed and the remaining four more or less se riously damaged. The loss suffered by Mr. Vason is In the neighborhood of $5,000. The C. M. E. church, on Madison street, cannot bo, replaced, it Is stat ed by the officers of the church, for less than $3,000, though some of the lumber can probably he, utilized In rebuilding. The loss of the Georgia Cotton Oli Co. amounts to several thousand dol lars.

A part of the top of the iron stand pipe was blown off, though tile struc ture, which was full of water, re mained otherwise Intact. The huge acid chamber was completely demol ished, as was the brick structure con taining the ovens. There were sever al men In the oven house at the lime. They attempted to leave by the - west doors, hut were hurled back by the wind. Then the building collapsed, and Ben Jones was killed. Mr. Walk er Saunders was In the only spot in the building where he would not have been crushed by the tons of falling brick. The negroes, except Ben Jones, had escaped into the condensing tow er, which is of massive construction and which remained intact. The ex pensive ovens are probably ruined. The buildings which were wrecked on North, Madison and Residence streets were all small frame struc tures, and were not as completely demolished as were the structures for. nierly struck, the force of the torna- do having somewhat spent itself. The winds had evidently regained some of their lost force before they reached the Central and Albany & Northern yards and the plant of the Georgia Cotton Oil Co. Full report of the damage here appears elsewhere in these columns. City to Render Aid. Mayor Rawson called a 1 special meeting of the city council this morn ing for the purpose of considering the question of relief to those in distress. It was decided that the 'city gov ernment would promptly respond to all reasonable demands of those who are unable to provide themselves with food, shelter and clothing. Im order to Investigate all case3 of distress and see that means are promptly af- 'orded for the relief of the sufferers, the following committee was appoint ed: Aldermen H. A. Tarver and P. H. Jones, Chief T. E. James, Deputy Marshal J. W- Kemp and Mr. H. T. McIntosh. . , All cases of distress reported to unroofed, and 'the apartments flooded. The cottage on Residence street be longing to Miss Dollle Mayo and oc cupied by the family of Mr. Pempel, was lifted from Itfi high foundations and set down a few feet distant. The plastering was badly damaged, "'win dows were smashed and some timbers .broken. Contractor F. B. Leonard sustained serious loss in the wrecking of the partially constructed cold storage plant of,the Albany Artesian Ice Co., on Washington street, and Brinson & Co.’s coal and wood yard was dam aged slightly. ( In addition tp this list, there are hundreds of cases of minor damage to dwellings, not to mention the de struction of the household effects of scores of negro- families, either from breakage or the heavy vain. Nothing Is more deplorable than (he destruction of hundreds of beauti ful shade trees—oaks and cedars that have been growing for decades, and on which no monetary value can be placed. On the Thair place, the destroyed buildings and contents, belonging to C. W. Livingston, were worth in the neighborhood of $1,500. Alfred Anderson’s house and con tents were worth $500. Four houses, one of them brick, either wholly or partially demolished, belonging to Max Lonsberg, valued at more than $1,000.

JONES.' theatre, enraptured a goodly number of music lovers at the local opera house last night. * "Robin Hood" has been presented on the American stage for a number of years, first be'ug presented by the famous Bostonians, a number of whom, for the first time In Albany, were seen and heard at last night’s 1 performance. Miss Vtvla Brewster, the prima donna, had the hearts of the audience at her disposal from the time that she sang her first note until the curtain descended on the last act and obscur ed from vision the lovely scene, amid a roar of applause. She Is dainty and graceful, and her every word and note struck responsive chord In the hearts of her hearers. Her rendition of. “The Forest Song” was notably pleasing. Miss Ethel Houston as "Alan-a- Dale”' might be classed as "a star that outshines the noonday sUn,” to quote from the, opera Itself. Her song hit was, "O Promise Me,” and she de served fully the repeated and the hearty, heartfelt encores; Mr. Harold Blake, the creator of the part of "Robin Hood.” could hard ly have 'been better if he had been made for the part and trained from infancy to portray It. His enunciation, when singing and talking, rang clear as a bell and his voice Is what "dreams are made of,” for those who have mu sic In their gouls. The comedy parts were ably taken care of by Messrs. F. Stanton Heck and Campbell Donald, respectively as the sheriff of Nottingham” and "Gny of Gisborne,” the former being es pecially clever and entertaining. But what need to mention them separately? They are all stars, and stars of the first magnitude, who taken individually are as bright as their lines are clever, and taken col lectively, form a constellation of stars, who through the splendid me dium of such songs as 'The Tinkers,” SHOT WITH TOY PISTOL.
