ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 3.-The
storm last night was the heaviest
ever known in Minnesota. Five
inches of rain fell in fifteen hours
here, the greatest amount since the
Signal Service Office has been es-
tablished. The damage in the city
is considerable, but was confined
to flooded streets and cellars, burst
ed sewers and one or two buildings
undermined. Trains were delay ed
on all the railroads by washouts,
and none arrived or left until to-
night. The most serious damage
is on the river road, near Red
Wing, where the washout will stop
travel a day or two. The storm
extended all over the State and
northwestern Wisconsin, consist
ing of a great fall Of rain, hail and
lightning. The damage was great,
but the details come in slowly. AT
Tasa, Goodhue county, seven per-
sons were killed and thirty were
injured by lightning and the fall of
a building, but there are no partic-
ulars. At Winnebago the wife of
Nathaniel Stevens was killed by
lightning. At Mountain Lake,
Lawrence Lawless was killed by
lightning. At Red Wing the re-
ports give 100000 damage to prop
erty in the city. Every town in
the south and east of the State suf-
fered heavily, but details are want
ing. Crops suffered from the rain
and hail, and at Marshal the hail
stones were as large as hens eggs
and caused great destruction. At
Menominee, Wis.,, a house was car
ried away by the flood, with two
persons not since heard from. The
wires were down east all day.
TORNADO IN IOWA.
SIOUX CITY, July "A tornado
struck the southwestern part of
Elkhorn. Dakota Territory, about
half-past five o'clock yesterday
afternoon, blowing down three
dwellings that are a total wreck.
Many barns and stables were over
turned and chimneys blown down.
Sheafe's storehouse, adjoining his
mill, was blown over. The windmill
of the Dakota Southern Railroad
water-tank was blown down and
badly wrecked. The only person
Injured, so far as is known, was
Mrs. Woods, whose head and
limbs were badly bruised by the
turning over of her house. Mrs.
Norton was sitting in her house,
and when the cyclone struck it the
floor opened under her and she fel
into the cellar, the house being
was not hurt. Reports from the
surrounding country show that
GREAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE,
Houses, barns, fences and crops
having been destroyed. The storm
was seen to gather and approach
the town from the southeast, aud
it is thought by many that it had
not reached its maximum strength
when it struck here. In the night
there was another severe storm, but
II has done no serious damage a.
far as heard from.
A special to the Journal from Lee
mars, Plymouth county, Iowa,

pletely demolishing it and crush
Ing them to death in the ruins. The

as terrific.
