TERRIBLE STORM.
MINNESOTA, IOWA 8 DAKOTA,
Many Lives Lost-An Immense Amount
Of Property Destroyed = Worst
Storm Ever Known in
Minnesota.

st. Paul, July 4.-The storm last
night was the heaviest ever known in
Minnesota. Five inches of rain fell in
fifteen hours, the greatest amount since
the signal Office was established here.
The damage in this city is considerable,
but is confined to flooded streets and
cellars. bursted sewers, and one or two
buildings undermined. Trains are de-
layed on all the railroads by washouts,
and none have arrived or left to-
night. The most serious damage was
on the railroad near Red Wing, where
the washout will stop trains for day
or two.
The storm extended all over the state
and northwestern Wisconsin, consist
ing Of great fall of rain, hail and
lightning. The damage is great but
the details come In slowly.
At Vasa, Goodhue county, seven per-
sons were killed and thirty injured, by
lightning and the fall of buildings.
At Winnebago, the wife of Nathan
iel Stevens was killed by lightning.
At Mountain Lake, Lawrence Law
less was killed by lightning.
Red Wing reports one hundred thou
sand dollars damage to property in that
city.
Every town in the south and east of
the state suffered heavily, but details
are wanting. The crops suffered very
severely from rain and hail.
At Marshall the hailstones were as
large as hens eggs, and caused great
destruction.
At Menomonee, Wis, house was
carried away by the flood with two
persons in 1t, and has not since been
heard from.

THE TORNADO.


Sioux City, Iowa, July 4.-The tor
nado struck the southwestern part of
Elkhorn, d. T., about half past five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, blowing
down three dwellings that are now a
total wreck. Many barns and stables
were overturned, and chimneys blown
down. Shafer's storehouse, adjoining
his mill, was blown over. The wind
mill of the Dakota Southern railroad
water tank was blown down and badly
wrecked. The only person injured so
known was Mrs. Wood, whose head
and limbs were badly bruised by tie
Burning over of her house. Mrs. Nor
ton was sitting in her house when the
cyclone struck it; the floor opened un-
der her, and she fell into the cellar, the
house being carried away several rods.
She was not hurt A great number of
trees, some two feet in diameter, were
blown down, and number of build
ings moved from their foundations.
The cloud came up from the southwest
and went southeast, but its course was
circular
Reports from the surrounding coun-
try show that great damage has been
done to houses, barns, fences, and
the crops destroyed. The storm was
seen to gather and approach the town
from the southeast, and it is thought
by many that it had not reached its
maximum strength when it struck
here. During the night there was
another severe storm, but it has done
no serious damage, as far as heard
from.
A special to the Journal from Le-
mars, Plymouth county, Iowa, says:
"a terrible storm passed over the
northern part of this county last even
ing, between six and seven O'Clock, de-
stroying houses, barns, etc. Ten miles
northeast of here two young men
named Koss were killed. They saw
the storm coming, and ran into barn
for shelter, when the wind struck the
building with terrific force, completely
demolishing it and crushing them to
death in the ruins.
Parties who saw the storm from a
sdistance say it was terrific to look at.
1t could be distinctly seen from Le-
mars, and at first the storm cloud pre-
scented the appearance Of an hour glass,
after which it resumed the shape of a
straight column and then seemed to
break into fragments and drift away.
It seemed to move slowly and was in
sight about thirty minutes.
The wind blew strong in Sioux City,
butno damage worth mentioning was
done.

Renitted.

Washington, July 3.-The president
RENTS the sentence of dismissal by
court martial upon Capt Joseph Rem
bedrock, Fourth cavalry. He was
found guilty of misbehaviour, before
the enemy, Indians, and neglect of
duty. The court recommended Glenn

tain, long and creditable service, and
the fact that his physical condition
showed him to be unfit for active cam
paign duty.
