The week of March 22, 1883, the Richmond news:
The only damage done by high winds yesterday was at the depot. The window in the tower over Superintendent Miller’s office was blown in, which knocked off a square of plastering from the ceiling directly overt Miller’s head. It fell with such racket it caused the room to be emptied in short order under the impression the building was being bombarded, with more explosions forthcoming. We learn that for the gallantry of Mr. James Elder, Mr. Miller would have jumped clear over the railing of a high staircase to certain injury or death below, had not Mr. Elder insisted on trying the stairs first, so distraught was the spooked Miller, who followed instead of leaping, and thus lives on unimpaired.
