Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. 13.—A tornado passed over this city yesterday afternoon, and after blowing down a house on Rankin street and killing a man, seemed to rise in the sky and pass away to the north. Its path was marked by uprooted and broken trees, leveled fences and damaged buildings extending in a tortuous line for nearly three miles from the lowlands into the manufacturing district to the higher territory of the residential section in the northwest. The greatest damage was in the lowlands, where the wind had an unbroken sweep across miles of salt meadows.
