CIscISNATI, O., June 2.-This has
been decidedly the hottetest day. The
thermometer Hanged from SO to 81 IN
the shade, and the air has been oppres-
sive and sultry. Late this afternoon
heavy showers fell, accom-
panied by light hail, and tonight the
temperature is moro pleastan. The wires
have been in bad condition all day and
special dispatches tonight show that
heavy wind and rain storms prevailed
over a large portion OF Ohio this morn
ing. At Springfield the storm came at
7 O'Clock this morning. Among the
losses were q portion Of the fair ground
buildings. A carpenter on LADDER
on the next house was blown to the
ground and suffered fatal injuries. At
Columbus the roof OF Timm's car works
was blown of, and the eastern end oi
the building blown down. The Fan
handle round house and the
scraper works were also badly damaged.
Adyices from points in the northwestern
parts of the State tell the same story OF
the destruction 10 the roofs, trees and
crops. At Lancaster the damage is very
severe in the southern part. The
freight depot of the Musking Val:
lev railroad had the roof
blown off and part OF
the wall blown in. The roof and one
side OF the round house OF the same
road was blown off. The whole top OF q
large building of the Hooking Valley
Manufacturing Company was torn on
and large part OF the wall blown IN;
The large frame building OF Michael
O'Gara Just undr the roof was COM
pletely wrecked.
At Marietta, Ohio, nine little girls who
were swimming in floating bath house,
narrowly escaped drowning, the
bath house being blown to pieces.
Many houses and barns in the country
were unrooied The storm was very
severe at New Lexington, Perry
county. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage, but the points
indicated show that wide belt
of country across the State had been
visited by the storm, which was more
or less severe on. crops. Wheat was
much damaged. No loss OF life report
ed, except as abve.

THE PTUTES.
The Battle Not So Rad as at
First Reported.


DENVER, June 29.-The Republican is
in receipt Of sdvices from source con.
sidered reliable which greatly reduces
the magnitude Of the late Indian fight.
The substance OF the information is a.
fellows: Not long after the cattle men
arrived in the Indian country Billy May,
one Of the leaders, concluded that the
men were too noisy and being unable to
get them in proper trim, he with six
others left the main party. Only
thirteen Indians were encountered
and but nine cattle men went
into the fight. The remainder OF the
party seeing the trap the Indians were
laying for the nine men, pursued the
Indians, and the latter pushed their
flight until they had drawn their pur..
suers into a canon, where they turned
and fired and left. One OF the nine was
killed and seven wounded. William
May aud his companions, who were re-
ported missing, reached the Big Bend OF
the Dalores in Safety. At last
accounts the thirteen Indians en-
gagged in the fight had crossed
Colorado line and were en- route to the
Uncampahgre agency with their squaws
and cattle. One squsw is reported Is
having received shot while herding
sheep.
The Republican adds that it is an i'm.
portaut fact in estimating the danger
caused by the fight that in none OF the
reports have the miners appeared as
taking a hand in the fight that was like
ly TO cause q general outbreak. IL seems
that the miners would be sufficiently in
terested 10 be among the volunteers.

Probability That MsoVsaxh VIII Be

NEw YoRK, June ga Washington
telegram says: A crisis has indeed been
reached in Cabinet matters, or rather in
the case of the Attorney General.
There has been q storm gathering for
some time, and complaints have been
poured into the ears Of the President
until he has at Last unwillingiy been
Obliged to seriously consider the least
biIity of a change. 1t is understood that
Secretary Blaine has been convinced
from the first that from political stand
point the selection was not the best that
could have been made, and has openly
advocated a change. The President Is
understood to hesitate to proceed to ex-
tremes in the matter for fear 1t might be
interpreted by the people as an evidence
that he was not in favor OF pushing the
Star route investigation. A friend OF
the President said that were 1t not ior
this he would not hesitate any longer.
II is urged upon him, however,
that the clamor. IL any on this account,
would be but transitory, because he
could put man in the position OF such
character as the public would accept as
a guarantee of the
s>ost Vigorous Prosecution OF the King
sters Possible.
The matter will be talked over by the
President and his advisers, and, In q
day or two it will be possible, in all
probability, TO announce the definite
result. Mr.. MacVeagh was away all
last week, and was to be back today. IL
is announced, however, that he will not
return till Saturday. 1t is SAID that he
has been informed that the President is
considering the propriety OF
Asking for dis Resignation.
and is staying away until the matter can
be settled. 0f the cabinet only Secreta-
~ Lincoln and Mr.. James are his friends
especially, and even they will not offer
to interpose If the President should de.
eide upon change. Ii is believed that
in case his resignation is asked for Will
liam II. Chandler will probably be Of
tered the position. In the meantime all
ls expectation in official circles and the
events of the next two days Will be
watched with lively curiosity.
Another telegram from Washington
saws that the President is exceedingly
displeased with MacVesgh's arbitrary
management OF the Star route inyestlga-
ton, and generally with his course as
attorney. general.

WAsHISGroS, Pa, June 27.-Nieht
before last Mrs. Cornelia Bane nee Mil
Ter, about 30 years Of age, OF this bor-
ough, who had been suffering from de
rangement, fell through window and
died shortly after she was returned to
her bed. Ii is rumored that she con-
mitted suicide by jumping through the
window and breaking her neck,
Rumors are afloat as to the cause OF her

Of her death. Although il was midnight
when she died she was IN such state
as TO compel burial this afternoon.
Condition Of the Wheat Crop
The growing wheat along the line OF

Is looking very promising, and there
seems to be a large acreage OF this grain.
On the Greene county end OF the road,
however, some fields OF wheat have been
stricken with rust TO sucn an extent
that the blades were turned brown as II
the fields were ripening; but il is yet
asserted that the blight is confined to
the blades alone, and will nowise injure
the grain proper.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The comet is
estimated at the Naval Observatory to
be about thirty million miles from the
earth. Its nucleus is seven hundred
miles in diameter, AMI the envelope
about the nucleus two hundred thou
sand miles i'm diameter. The tale is cal
culated to be i've million miles in length.
The fact that its orbit lies within the or
bit of the earth explains the apparent
paradox Of it's receding from the earth
while approaching the sun. On the Goth
OF June last it came nearest the earth,
being then bat ten million miles away,
and some astronomers here think il
probable that the earth then passed
through the tail OF the comet.

Combined vote:
70 choice,

No choice.
When the name OF Senator Forster
was called, he said that as his vote had
been called int question in the Senate,
by the Senator from the Twenty.fiith
district be deemed it proper to make an
explanation OF his vstipg. He
had been actuated by but only
one consideration in the matter,
and that was to elect two Senators
in place OF the two Senators resigned.
So far as he could learn the views OF
his constituency he believed that they
did not desire the return OF the two re-.
signing Senators. With that view he
had first voted for candidates known as
the lf.Breeds, and subsequently for a
Half.Breed and Stalwart, and then for
two Stalwarts. This week be had de-
termined to vote for two Stalwarts, and
il no election was secured, he would
then vote for an adjournment. He then
explained his vote for Hos,
kins, whose course in public life
he eulogized, and concluded by voting
for Hoskins. Mccarthy, when his
name was called, said he had simply
alluded to the gentleman's voting for
Hoskins when it was known he was
paired with Astor, although the Senator
tForster) had said he was not paired
on Hoskins.

vote again. The combined vote was as
