CHICAGO, June S-Further reports con
cernipg the great storm of Thursday night
in Central Illinois show that an immense
amount Of damage was done in Peoria, Full
Ton. Knox and other counties IN that sec
tion Of the State. The destruction OF
bridges on country roads has been almost
universal In the city of Peoria fences and
trees were blown down, and cellars filled
with water. Every railroad leading out OF
thar city suffered more or less, and no
trains left there yesterday. The Chicago,
burlington and Quincy railroad had about
four miles Of track washed away and many
bridges DESTROYED. The Toledo Peoria and
Warsaw railroad also suffered severely,
losing one bridge $50 feet in length and the
entire road-bed carried away in many
Dlaces. A large force of men Is at work
repairing damages, and there viii be but
little interruption to travel
In the town OF Hilton the damages are
fearful. The town is almost entirely under
water. and barns, stock, etc. have been
swept miles away. The most singular cir
cumstance of the storm is the running up
stream of the Illinois river. The immense
volume of water that poured into that
stream has created back water, and there
is a strong current running nOrthward. The
river last night was still rising rapidly, and
fears of serious damage from this source
were entertained
