MINNEAPOLIS, July pa thunder storm,
which was particularly severe at 5 o'clock
this morning, prevailed through the greater
portion of last night, and considerable
damage, although none Of a very serious
nature, resulted. Lightning struck the
steeple of the Foss Methodist Episcopal
church this morning, passed down into the
interior and caused general decentralization;
the windows were shattered and the founda-
tion badly torn up; the damage is thought
to be less than $500. MI. Kennedy, farm
er living three miles north of the city, sus-
tains severe damages. A field of wheat was
destroyed and some cattle killed. A team
of horses were struck by lightning and
killed near Lambert Hays residence, on
Sixth street moth. None of the railroads re-
port any damage from the storm. The
wheat was lodged in some localities,
but not injured to any extent. Lightning
struck a barn at Lake Minnetonka and de-
strOyed it. AS the barn was situated about
half mile from the hotel Lafayette, the
fact gave rise to a false report that the ho-
tel was damaged.
