A dispatch from Lake City, Minn., B8VS : Sunday night just before dark a disastrous cyclone bore down upon this community, and in a few minutes nearly two hundred people were killed. A lit¬ tle before dark a terrific wind struck the village, driving every one in doors. Trees " iprooted, buildings wrecked, and were u much damage done in the short time the storm lasted. In a few moments th* news was abroad that an excursion boat, with over 200 people on it was cap¬ sized in the middle of Lake Pepin. The boat was the steamer Sea Wing, which had on hoard an excursion party to the encampment of the First Regi¬ ment National Guards of Minnesota, which was being held a mile below the city. The steamer started back on the homeward trip, when the storm struck her. The boat was crowded to its fullest capacity, about 150 men, women and children from Rea Wing and Diamond Bluff being on board, and about 50 peo¬ ple on a barge which was attached to the side of the steamer. In live minutes more the waves began to dash into the boat and bill the lower decks, while hailstones as large as hen’s eggs came down on the heads of the people who were huddled together ou top. A huge wave struck the craft on one side at the same moment that a terrific blast of wind came up, and carried the boat over. All of the people on board, one hundred and fifty or more, were thrown into the water, some being caught underneath and others thrown into the waves. The boat turned bottom upwards, and only about twenty- live people were observed floating upon the surface. These caught hold of the boat and climcd up on the unturned bottom, those first securing a position assisting twenty-live others. In ten minutes more the or sc who had obtained safety on the boat could observe no others of the boat's crew or passengers floating on the surface of the continuing high sea of waves, but it was impossible for those who witnessed the horrible sight to lend any aid. Those remaining began calling for help Iroin the shore, iSoon the storm began tc abate, and in half an hour lights were observed flitting about on the shore at " opposite which point hake upturned City, had the steamer now drifted. Before help could reach it however, the poor creatures who yet. re¬ mained to tell the horrors of the night were again submitted to another battle with the elements, With no word ot warning, and as they were just beginning off by to hope that they would be taken the citizens of Lake City, the boat again turned over, this time on its side, and again all of the twenty-five remaining these, souls were hurled into the water, Of several were drowned before they could be brought to the boat by those who suc¬ ceeded in remaining afloat and again securing holds ou the boat’s side. The latest reports say that sixty persons it are is known to have been saved, and though? the death roll may be inside ol one hundred. TWO BIG BLAZES. ONF.
