session OF 1878, which was signed BY Gov.
Nichols, granting the aid OF the State, by
issuing $2,000,O0O Of bonds, to build the Shreve-
port branch of the Texas road. It was advo-

These bonds were to be issued to the company

The Storms.

PITTsBURG, July 28.-The followingis a
partial list of the losses at Petrolia by Sat
urday's food: S. w. Hartley, $1,000;
Collner's S jewelry store, $4,000; White
Fawn Restaurant, $1,000; Steinberg's
clothing house, $4,000; Levine, cigars,
$1,000; Foot's drug store, $4,000; Ses-
sons grocery, $4,000; FIVE vacant build
ings, $4,000; drug store, $4,000; Marks
dry goods, $4,000. The loss in that neigh
borhood is roughly placed at 100000.
The scene during this destruction was
terrible. Men, women and children rush
ed hither and thither 10 search of elevated
positions where life would be secure.
Many of the people lost all their effects
and are left in state of destitution. The
storm was most severe up the Monongahe-
la aud all through Allegheny valley. The
report of bridges destroyed and culverts
washed out on the PIttsburg, Fort Wayne
u Chicago railroad are incorrect, as the
only damage on that liue was land slide,
which was cleared away in a couple of
hours. The damage on the Erie branch OF
that road was repaired on Saturday eve
ming. The main line of the Pennsylvania
road escaped damage. Several heavy land
slides occurred on the PittsbuFg, Virginia
Il Charleston Railroad. The track was
washed out at Black Diamond, on the
Mingo Valley road. The river at this
point raised from 10 Inches to 10 feet in
less than two hours.
