ne storm El.sxhsrs.

The heavy wind storm that passed over
this region on Friday afternoon did consid-
cradle damage in various places herea-
bouts. A dispatch from Clinton Ga says:
AT II O'Clock in the forenoon heavy
windstorm was seen approaching from the
northwest In few moments it burst
upon US, and some $4,000 worth of logs
in the booms of the Clinton Lumber Com
pany were broken up and went down the
river, many of which were saved by lodg-
ing against the bo0ms belonging to Lamb
4 Son, and W. J. Young 4 Co. II is i'm
possible 10 estimate the loss at present.
The damage to trees is considerable At
Sterling, Ill, many trees were torn up. At
Port Byron, ILL.,. the storm appeared 10
have gone east Of there At Savanna, Ill,
many trees and fences were torn down 1t
has rained hard from about half an hour
after the wind passed.
From Peoria, LaSalle and Rockford
come Ike reports. During the same storm,
three horses were killed by lightning on the
farm Of Mr.. Anderson Martin. ten miles
north of this city, in Sheridan township,
Scott Co, Iowa. The animals were stand
ing in a shed with three other horses. when
bolt descended through the roof pros
trating the whole six. When Mr. Martin
went to the place an hour afterward, he
found two Of the horses dead and one
dying. The others were CA the ground
quivering as if in agony however, they
were able 10 stand on their feet in the
course Of half an hour, and it Is thought
they escaped permanent injury.

New Tactics for the German Infantry.

An imperial decree, says the Pau HdH
Gazette, orders important notifications in
the tactics of the German infantry. Hence
forth, unless in exceptional cases, the Ger
man infantry will ALWAYS be formed in
diminishing order. Infantry captains will
be mounted ON horseback, as il is evident
they would not be able to pass over the
ground occupied by their companies with
sufficient swiftness Of foot. The first rank
Tor third OF the company being thrown out
as skirmishers, the second Will be similarly
ranged at distance of 200 PAGES tSchritte)
behind, ready to I'll up the blanks that may
be made in front. The rest of the company
will be 200 metres further back. BY this
arrangement it is calculated that the de
structiye effects of modern projectiles will
be greatly diminished. The rapidity of fire
possible in the ease Of soldiers ranged in
skirmishing order four or five metres dis
tance from each other will enable them to
produce greater results than If they were
acting in compact bodies. The new Mauser
