VOL. VI. TIIIIICITY. A View of Devastated Koeliestcr After the Calamity. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD. A Sad Scene at the Cemetery of the Stricken Conunnnity. NOTES AND EVENTS OP THE STORM.' An Elaborate List of Damages Done to' Property in Rochester and the Surrounding Country. [Special Telegram to the Globe. J RocnESTEE, Minn., Aug. 23. Thursday morning dawned bright and beautiful. At an early hour strangers began to pour in from all directions. By noon the streets were crowded with a surging mass of hu manity. The expressions of 6adnesa on every face told moro plainly than flutter ing crape or tolling bells the tale of mourning, desolation and death. Ten bodies were interred in Oakwood comatary ia tho afternoon at i:3O. A prooession was formed in front of the Cook house and started for the cemetery. Fifth street from Broadway to the cemetery gate was literally jammed with teams. The follow ing is a list of the victims interred. Mrs. Woatherby. Nellie Irwin. Mahala McGormick. Mr. Hetzel. Mrs. McQuillan. Mrs. Quick. Mrs. Clough. Mrs. Zereath. * August Zereath. Mr. Osbosrne and child. The names of the ministers officiating are as follows: Rev.|Mr. Hampton, Rev. Mr. Bradshaw, Rev. J. Stafford, Prof. E. W. Young, Rev. E.R. Lathrop, of Austin and Rev. Mr. Stuelpanagel of Pottsdam. The ceremonies performed were of tea ' simplest character. No dirge was suag,KO sound was heard but humble prayers and ' smothered groans of unutterable augaisk. The only tributes left upon the close-oling ing clay were silent, Boaldio# tears. It was by far the saddest funeral that aver oc curred in Rochester. Mr. Quick, another of the d&ng«roasly injured victims, died at 3p. m. Reports from the town of Salem indicate a large amount of damage in that locality. Frotn, Another Correspondent. LBpecial Telegram to the Globe. ] Rochester, Aug. 23,— A1l of Rochester not actually employed in the oare of the dead and injured by the terrible cyclone of Tuesday evening, worn out in body by thair twenty-four hours of untiring and unremitting labors in searching the debris of the demolished buildings for ihe victims and in, caring for them when found, and Bickened at heart with tlio terribla scenes of saffering encountered, went to b*d early last night. Fortunately the night proved mast propitious for rest, as well as for the suffering living victims, bein^ unusually co and invigorating. This morning the sun shone out in a clear sky, bright and warm, with only sufficient air stirring to mildly temper the sun's ray?. The magnificent weather, backed by a good night's rest, and the early morn iug report of the surgeon, "No deaths during the night and all the injured but two or th^ee doing exceedingly well and promising speedy recovery," created a izcuerallj more hopeful and buoyant spirit among the people, which manifested itself early in the day in a very general movement to clear away tho tin roofs, telegraph wires, limbs of tie 2:; and other debris of the wrecked structures, which had been allowed undis turbed possession of the streets in the devastated district, and also in the com mencement of repairs where possible, and in preparations for rebuilding in many in stanaes whara total distraction bad oc curred. BELIEF WOBK. At the same time the general relief com mittee appointed at the meeting Wednes day, had gotten their work sy&temized. This general committee consists of twenty-one leading citizens, with Judge Start as chairman, and Rev. W. C. Rice, as secretary and treasurer, aDd is divided into several divisions as follows: A soliciting committee which has already collected from citizens some $3,700 for the sufferers. Then there is a general hos pital committee, which has personal charge of the injured in the general hos pital in charge of Dr. Berkman, who, with his able and indefatigable assistants is leaving nothing undone that skill or care can provide for the benefit of those in their care. Another oommittee 13 engaged in canvassing to ascertain the exact losses sus tained, and still another is looking after food, clothing and general supplies, so ur gently required. All the committees are devoting all their time to the performance of their several duties, in whishthuy are heartily seconded by Mayor Whitten, Senator D. A. Morrison and citizens generally. Already in addi tion to the general hospital, as above, there has been opened a relief dining hall at 251 Broadway, and to-day work was< commtneed on a temporary frame struct ure, centrally located in the devastated district north of the railroad, where the most complete destruction occurred, for the accommodation of those families who are in condition and propose to repair or rebuild their wrecked homes. The prompt action of many of the mu nicipalities of the state to the appeal for p.id sent oat by Mayor Whitten, has had a good effect in encouraging our citizens. Your city, as has always been the case, was the lirst to respond in this noble duty, and when word was received through Mr. D . Moon, of Allen, Moon & Co., wholesale grocers, Third and Jackson streets (for merly a resident of this city) that St. Paul had sent §5 ; 000, a great load was removed from the minds of all. The generous ac tion of St. Paul is being most liberally followed. Winona has sent $2,700, accom panied by tho assurance that more will follow. Mayor Burket and the council of Owatonca, were in the oity to-day and paid the committee $500, and returned home with a gvaraatee of more to follow. Stillwater has r*«p»nded with $1,000, Red Wing $500, Ha»tiagß $100, Lake City' $250, aad more to gone. A committee representing tke city overs mont of Maakato visited the city to-day to sea the extent of tho disaster, while anoth er committee was engaged in soliciting private subscriptions. Mayor Law, of LaCrosse, and President Hi»oh«mi«r, of the board of trade of that city, alto joiaed in a telegram expresaing sympathy and Mking for. information as to tha natcr« of the aid required. So it will be seen that tha good people of Rochester are not to ba left to Mftke cp their great losses alone. But while tha raaponses have been prompt and liberal, the amount received will go bat a email way to provide for present presolag need*, saying nothing about the fatnv*. The locality suffering most terribly was mainly occupied by laboring moa, princi pally Germans and Irish, a large majority of whom through industry aad ftigaliiy had become the owners of their houses, many of which were neat and tatty sirvo tnres. When it is remexaVerad that a total of nearly 800 build ings were totally dastroyed, with all their contents, and 200 others injured. i Any one will readily see the amount of misery, suffering and los 3 sustained, and gain some idea of tha assistance that Trill be required. An illustration is furnished in the case of Mr. Carl Quick and family. Mrs. Quick and one child were killed oat right, while Mr. Quick, and live other chil dren, ranging from three to twelve, were injured, Mr. Quiok fatally, death putting an end to his sufferings yeaterd&y after noon. A pleasant inoideat to record in con nection with the Quiok family occurred yesterday morning. Mr. George S. Barnes, of Fargo, D. T., president of the Northern Pacific Elevator company, being on a visit to the hospital had his attention called to the terrible misf ertuae of tho family, and the sad condition in whioh the mourning children woald be left (the death of Mr. Quiok then (being momentarily expected), and he at once drew his chock for $200 for their benefit, and also stated that he would adopt ona of the okildr«n. Another case illustrative of the , point, though much less sad is it* general sur roundings, is that of Mr. Peter Brown. Mr. Brown, with his wife and youag daugh ter, came to Rochester tern jean ago, since whioh he has bean employed by the rail road company in the capacity of oar wheel tester. Ho had bought kimi a lot in the stricken district upon -which ke had erect led a cosy home. Monday he Made the last payment upon this property. That evening meeting a friend to whom he remarked that ho was ptrfeokly happy, | having his honaestaad all his own now . Where the house stood, »othlug is left now bn t the cellar excavation. House, fence, shrubbery, furniture, clothing, except that worn at the time, all gone. True, ho and his f tiinily escaped unharmed, but he is worse off than ton years ago, with ton years wear and tear of body to make him less able to renew ths fcattls of life. And there are many such cases, the committee now having a list of 104 fami lies rendered homeless ami destitute by tho disaster. THE 6TOIIM. When so much has been written of the storm it is almost superfluous to attempt to add anything more, bnt some incidents may bo given. To describe the storm is impossible, words not having yet been coined capable of conveying anything Ilka a correct impression of its terrible power. Talk about tho destruction of contending armies; thej don't furnish a kint of what may be dons by a cyclone. Iv this case while the middle of the storm as it passed through Roohest9r was about three-quar ters of a mile, its full power was f«lt in a space only from thirty to forty rods in width, and in this brack every building was virtually destroyed, not a vestige of many being left to tall where they ones stood, while the path of the foil destroyer was strewn with broken boards, furniture, bedding and clothing in shreds. Some of the trees were stripped of their bark and foliage, the trunks standing upright. Others were twisted in shreds, others broken off, and still others torn up by the roots. The grass in vegetation pieces was withered §aud§ seemed as if a flame) of fire ha? passed over them and in others flattened and pressed into the earth as by a rushing '.torrent. In one place where six houses stood on opposite corners, all totally destroyed and carried away. A small rick of hay standing be t ween two was undisturbed. Hundreds of such instances might be told, but more remrakabie than all was that of a child eleven months old, found under some loose b ards, after laying out all night, perfect ly naked. The little one \?a3 unharmed, and when his deliverers came crowed with delight. His parents have not been found. j THE FAIB GBOUNDS. The grounds of the Southern Minnesota Fair association were out of the track of the storm and escaped unharmed, and the fair will be given the second week in September as advertised. The following circular was issued to-day: Rocuesthb, Aug. 23, 1883. The Southern Minnesota Fair Association to the public in general and to all friends of Rochester in particular and to all who design cr have designed to ex hibit at the Fair, Sept. 10 to 15, this no tice is addressed: The great storm crippled, but has not destroyed us nor demoralized our energy. Our fair buildings are not injured, our hotels will all be ready to entertain guests and our citizens will, as usual, receive and care for all who come. Not one thing will be lacking to make tho fair a success. All citizens unite in advising the a?g?ciation to go on. Come right on as though noth ing had happened. Excursion rate.^ dur ing fair week will enable all from a dis tance to visit the fair and see the effects of the cyclone. C. Van Campem, Secy. THE ISJDBED.

Coles, one of the one of the victims, was seat to Winona this afternoon, where his widow resides, for in- ' terment. The anxiety of parties absent who had members of their family, or relations in the ei»y was gaeat. A case in point is H. G. Wethorell, recently located in the gro cery b«ei*ess in your city, at 416 Ws b*shaw street, whose family still remained is Rochester. In the li?» of killed was Mrs. David Witherby. Thongh the first name was wrong and tho last spoiled diff erently, Mr. Witherby hastened to Rock ester to find his house partially wrecked &sd tinoocupitd, but he sooa had his fears relietaa by fisding them at a neighbor's unharmed. As a singnl»»r circumstance, it is stated y a gentleman who has bean a close ob server ot thff barometer for yours past. On Tuepdny his barometer fell an inch from L* to 5 o'cioek, while from that hour uatil tha etorai struck tho city it roso two and a hsif inchee.

Rochesteb, Aug. 22, Midnight, 1883. Hon. L. F. Hubbard, Governor of Mir nesota: Sib: Having come to Wabashaw on bu siness for the board of charities with Mr. D C. Bell, we met Gen. C. H. Berry there, and decided to defer the business and proceed at once to this place. The worst reports are fully confirmed. At the lowest estimate 150 houses are com pletely destroyed, and fifty more are un roofed and otherwise damaged. Some good judges place the number of houses wrecked as high as 300. On thß north side of the railroad every house is damaged . There are twenty-six dead in the city of Rochester to-night. Thirty-four wounded are in the hospital, ia the German Library Association's building. Seventeen seri , ously wounded are under the doctor's care in private houses. The citizenß here are doing nobly. Last night they worked ' spontaneously as best they could. This morning they organized a relief committee of twenty-one, of which Judge Start is chairman and Rev. W. C. Rice, editor cf the Post, is secretary and treasurer. Sub-committees ware appointed, as fol lows: A finance committee which raised $2,500 before -t p. m. to-day, in tho city, besides large contributions of clothing and ■ provisions. It is only a month since this city raised $2,000 for the sufferers by the cyclone at Elgin, besides clothing, etc. A hospital committee, which has a well organized hospital, with surgeon-in-chief,' hospital steward, relays of nuraes, corps of physicians, and an abundant supply of cots, bedding, clothing etc. A sanitary committee which is provid ing food end lodging for all who need it, of tho thoccr.ud people made homeless. A census committee, to ascertain accu rately tho amount of the losses sustained, and the condition and prospects of the BBfferers. The citizens were greatly cheered by St. Paul's generous response. Nothing had been heard from Minneapolis at 10 p. m., as yet. The destruction was almost entirely among the small homes of working men and people of moderate meens, in most cases, probably, taking their all. The somp'etenees of the destruction is almost incredible. Gsa. Berry expressed the opinion that out of the one hundred and fifty or two hundred houses demolished there couid nui bo collected good material sufficient to build one. Trees are cut squarely iv two or violently wrenched to pieces. Hou&ehold furniture is reduced to kindling. Business has been at a complete stand still to-day, every energy being bent to caring for ths dead and wounded. Reports from the surrounding country indicate some twelve or fifteen killed and perhaps as many wounded. The destruc tion of property in the track of the storm is apailing, buildings, machinery, stock, crops standing or harvested, have been swept away. The average width of the storm path was probably three fourths of a mile. It was wider in some sections. Mr. Bell and myself will probably re main here until Thursday noon. The need of assistance is great and ur gent. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Hastings H. Haut.
