Except for two houaee In the course

side of the latter street In the block
between Highland and East-sves. es
caped damage. Chimneys were blown
down and, crashing thru the roofs,
wrecked the rooms In which they fell.
A huge hole was torn In tha roof of
M. A? Long's house at 9 Prospect Place
and his wife nnd 1-months' old baby
narrowly escaped with their lives. Mr.
Long wss awakened by the roaring of
the wind and he hastened to lilt wife's
room and called for her to get out
quickly. Hastily seising the baby, Mrs.
Long sprang from the bed nnd as she
did so, the chimney crashed thru Ihe
roof and celling onto the bed In which
She had Just been sleeping. The bed
Woe completely wrecked and ground
Into the floor under a huge pile of
bricks, rafters and planter. Had she
remained In the bed a few seconds
longer, Mr. Long soya both she and
the bsby would have been killed.
With holes thru Ihe roofs, the deluge
of rain poured In torrents Into the
houaee along Prospect Place and In that
vicinity and the Interior of dozens of
homes In that section of the city were
ruined.
The next house on Prospect Place to
that of Mr. Long Is D. E. Patterson’s
residence nt No. 31, and hern a chim
ney tare a large hole thru the roof and
celling of the room. Water and
platter poured Into the room, but no
one *** Injured.
The residence of 8. O. Douglass, at
27 Prospect Place, won wrenched fore
and aft and the framework la crooked
In many placet. A .large chimney
crashed thru ihe rdfif nnd Into tha
room underneath wrecking the Interior.
The front door, which wan securely
locked, was wrenched open and Ihe
gale blowing In with the rain added lo
the terror of the occupants. Window*
were shattered by flying timbers and
brlckt from other bouses.
The worst sufferer on the street was
Alonso M. Mann, nt No. 38 Prospect
Place. The entire front porch of hit
residence and the front part of the roof
were blown away entirely and landed
In the rear yard of the house next door.
In addition to this damage, a large
chimney crashed thru the roof and cell
ing of a front bedroom and continued
thru the floor. The top of this chim
ney remained Intact and It never stop,
ped until It struck the ground under the
house. Mrs. Mann and one of her chil
dren were sleeping In thta mom and
■■range ta relate, the email bit of celling
over the bed was the only part In the
room uninjured. A chiffoniers was un
der the point where the chimney de
scended nnd won driven by the force
of the blow thru the floor. Only a few
days ago Mra. Mann moved the bed In
this mom from a point where the chim
ney fell to the place where It was dur
ing the storm, and to thin fact alone
■he attributes her escape from death.
Another of the chimneys on Mr.
Mann'e house crashed down between
his houke nnd that of T. C. Perkins, nt
No. 31, and striking thin house near the
ground, tore a large hole thru the side,
one of the chimneys on Air. Perkins'
house crashed thru his roof and wreck
ed the room underneath.
The last house on this street, except
the two being being built, suffered the
least of any. It Is that of 8. B. Free
man nt Nu. 13. The roof of the front
porch was lifted In Ihe air. Ihe two
middle pillars blown Inward and the
roof put down In place again. A few.
fences and outhouses were blown down.
The tornado struck this section of the
city at 11:44 o'clock, according lo sev
