CASUALTIES.
CYCLONE AND STORM IN PENNSYLVANIA.


O'Clock this evening this section was Wis
tied by one of the heaviest rain and hail
storms ever known in this city. The hail
came down as large as eggs and the rain
fell in torrents, filling the streets and eel
lars. No damage more severe than
breaking sky lights is reported, however.
Outside the city the storm partook of the
nature of cyclone. Through Washington
and other southwest counties houses and
barns were unroofed, trees uprooted and
cattle killed. The damage to railroads
from washouts and landslides and to tel
egraph wires is also great, but so far no
loss of life is reported. The storm did
not last an hour and came from the south
west. Specials say that the track of the
cyclone was from 100 to 400 feet, and in
many places everything was swept as If by
a broom.
A CYCLONE IN OHIO.
WHEELING, w. Va, June 18.-This even
ing, about six o'clock, a cyclone struck
SteuoensviIle, Ohio, doing damage to prop
erty in the northern part of the city to the
amount of $4,000. The track of the cy-
clone was from due westerly course and
struck the city at the residence of the late
Col. McCook upturning large number of
trees, and passing over north Seventh
street, swept over the residence of Mrs.
Harry Reynolds breaking glass and shut
tiers, tearing off the roof and completely
destroying an orchard. 1t then crossed
the Panhandle track doing considerable
damage to the resi- dences of Ambrose Par
ker, R. NJ. Brown, Mrs Jas.
Cooper, DR.. Priest, August
Hartje, John McCIane, Jacob tricks, Frank
Hose and Joe Mather. Trees in the path
of the cyclone, as it passed through the
city were uprooted and the scene presented
great destruction. Eye witnesses state
that when the cyclone reached the bank of
the river, 1t plunged into the water, lifting
itup about 100 fest. The telegraph wires
were blown down and much damage was
done IN Union cemetery. Considerable
damage is reported in the neighborhood
as far as Collier station. But little rain
accompanied the cyclone.
RISING RIVERS.
ST. LOUIS, June 18-Advices from West
ern Missouri and Kansas say the heavy
rains Of the past few days have raised
nearly ali the rivers and small streams in
that section, and indications are for unus-
ually high water in the Missouri river. The
town Of Corning, forty miles north of ST.
Council Bluffs railroad and also on the
Missouri river, is inundated and several
houses were swept away. About four miles
of the railroad is under water. All rail
roads IN Central and Western Missouri ex-
ceptipg the Missouri Pacific are badly
washed and trains generally abandoned.
1t looks as though serious trouble not only
to railroads, but to all river towns and bot
tom land farms is to result from the pres
ent or threatened condition of the rivers.
