WIDESPREAD DISASTER.
The hurricane Oh Saturday morning seems
to have originated In the vicinity OF Hitch
cock, on the northern tJundry of Beadle
county, Dak, reaching from that point
north "a tar ~ Redfeld Numerous build-
iugs were torn down aid several persons
wounded, some fatally. Passing east the
storm is next heard of in Codington county,
where much damage was done, particularly
To the crops. So far as can be heard from
the dispatches, 1t wSs next learned OF at
Sleepy Eye, Brown county, where it was
accompanied with terrific hail. From
there il went to New Ulm, and
crossing the Minnesota river passed on
through Ncollet county 10 ~. Peter, lay
ing waste the crops in its course. From 81.
Peter il seems to have followed the general
course Of the Winona Il St Peter road
through kasota, Janesyilie, Waseca, Meri-
dan, OwatonDs, Dodge Center, and Mantor-
vile 10 Rochester, where IT made n sharp
turn to the northeast to the village of FL
gin, Wabasha county, which It almost com
pletely demolished. Beyond this point the
fercr of the storm seems 10 have
been broken, little damage be
ing reported from the eastward
The list of casualties is long one, ana
the damage to property is very large Thus
tar eight are ,eporied killed and about Sixty
more or less seriously injured. The blow,
ing of a passenger train from the track near
Owatonna resulted in the injury OF some
forty people. The town of Elgin suffered
most severely, being almost completely
wiped ont, and several being killed. A
con- sle,e account OF this disaster, however.
is unattainabe owing to the telegraphc
trouble and the fact that the town is some
distance from the railrosd. The loss TO
property cannot as yet be estimated but is
very great,
Dodge county, was the scene OF disaster
and general wreck. both 10 buildings aud
the crops Owatonna and Wasaca are IA so
heavy sufferers the buildings on tne State
fair grounds at the former place being en-
tirely destroyed As yet returns are so in
complete that no estimate is attempted ot
the loss either to the crops or to other pro.
perty but az the path Of the storm WAS
through productive agricultural country,
the aggregate amount will undoubtedly be
very large.

Mortality In New York City.

The mortality in New York this season is
frightiully on the increase, either owing to
the great heat, the dirty condition of the
streets, or the death rate sustaining q natu-
raj rati" TO a largely increased population
Certain il is, that there never were SO many
funerals i'm 40 short time as there have
been during the past two weeks. The un-
dertsking establishments claim 10 be worked
to their fullest capacity. The mortality Is
greatest among children, who constitute
fully two-ffths OF the whole number of
deaths.
