mense damage was done to the streets. and
cellars were filled. The storm extended
over the country some 80 or more miles,
to the south and southwest, but, 1t is

ing. but none of the others. Arrange
ments for transferring passengers over
breaks will be perfected tomorrow on all
the roads, but it will be sometime before
the bridges are replaced. No loss Of life

many narrow escapes. What few grass

great destruction to the crops. All the
trains nave been greatly delayed, but a
large number of men have been enerGeti-
cally at work, and the regular time
