AGED SEVENTY-FOUR.

Property Loss Now Placed
at Million and a Half.
Several Missing Persons
Unaccounted for.
Birmingham, Ala., March 5,—A spe
cial dispatch from Meridian says the
work of clearing away the debris of
the tornado is going on’uninterrupted
ly day and night by convicts from the
state farm and city prisons and by
thousands of citizens. A cordon of
soldiers surrounds the wrecked sec
tions.
Special efforts at clearings are be
ing made at points where it is feared
that bodies are yet entombed, as sev
eral missing persons are yet unac
counted for.
Offers of assistance are still pour
ing in, but the committees announce
again that outside aid has not been
asked for and will not be.
Sunday was marked by a large num
ber of funerals.' The death list now
numbers twenty-four and the property
loss is placed at a million and a half.
Seldom, if, ever, visited by a storm
of cyofone proportions, the merchants
and residents of Meridian had never
protected themselves with storm or
cyclone policies, so in the matter of
adjustment of insurance, agents will
have little of no auditing beyond the
fire losses. A million and a quarter
dollars is now thought to be a con
servative estimate of the damage
wrought.
Colonel McCants, in command of
the National Guard, which is now
spread out in cordon over the devas
tated district, today said.that never in
his years Of military"experience had
he observed before the entire absence
of vandalism and ghoulish acts, which
usually follow on the heels of a like
disaster. Not a single instance of
this character has been reported to
the colonel.
Atfer leaving Meridian and enter
ing Macon, a suburban town about
five miles distant, all trace of the
storm seems to have disappeared, lit
tle, if any damage being reported from
the country.
