A most severe rain storm, accompanied by
lightning and thunder visited La Sale coun-
ty aud the counties northeast of here on
Monday evening last. SO much water fell
that by noon the next day the rivers at this
point had risen about twelve feet, while at
SeDachwne Lake the Ottawa campers report
rise Of five feet Around the immediate Vi.
entity Of Ottawa the damages are principally
confined to flooded cellars and bottom lands
along the river.
Not So however, at Marseiles, Seneca and
Morris, on the Rock Island road east Of here.
Along the railroad named numerous wash
outs occurred, principally in the vicinity Of
Seneca, where all west.bound trains that leit

were detained until Tuesday evening, about
o'clock. East-bound trains, five in mum.
beT carrying about 400 passengers, were

TO look around the city.

creek running through town, a large num-

A serious break in the canal occurred at
Morris, where, 1t is SAID. the rain was the
heayiest ever known.
Daring the whole Of the storm, which last
ed until nearly midnight, the lightning was
almost constant, and numerous casualties
from that element are reported. In Ottawa
the only damage was to the residence Of d.
NJ. Hall, where lightning entered and per
formed many queer antics, but fortunately
not seriously shocking either Mr.. Hall or his
wife
In Rutland township four or five bridges
were carried away, entaillng a serious loss
upon that township.
Several barns were burned, some of them
with valuable animals The most conspicu-
Gus was one between La Sale and Utica on
the bluff, the light OF which was plainly seen
in Ottawa, and gave rise TO fears that the
whole Of La Sale was on fire. Another light
seen in the northeast was the burning of the
barn Of Henry Wells, northeast OF this city.
