The Cyclone in New York.

NORWOOD, n. Y, August 13.-The
damage by the cyclone here last
night was somewhat overestimated.
The loss of life SO far reported in
cludes only Michael Martin, farm
hand, and Mrs David Fitzgibbons.
The injured are: Myra Ormsby,aged
Is years, probably fatally hurt; Mrs.
George Cramer, S. E. Leslie, Mrs.
Oliver Lundeman, Carl and Rufus
King and Charles Minor.
The storm ragged over a territory
of fifteen miles in length and from
one half to three quarters of a mile
in width. The wind was accompan-
led by terrific hail-storm. The
damage done to growing crops and
fruit cannot be estimated. The
principal losers in Norwood are the
Norwood Lumber Company, the
Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain
Railroad Company, by damage to
bridge and station, and A. NJ. H.
Pearson, by damage to broomhandle
and hoop factory. Over 100 resi-
dences and innumerable barns and
sheds were destroyed or damaged.
The damage done in Norwood and
the immediate vicinity is estimated
at s150,000.
Troy, N. Y, August ia dis
patch from Saratoga says that to
days storms, including rain, wind,
thunder and lightning, exceeded
anything felt there in fifteen years,
and over four inches of rain fell in

named Chatterton was struck with
lightning and instantly killed. The
fiag-poles on the Grand Union Ho-
tel and Vichy Spring were shattered.
Lightning also struck several other
places. There were several land
slides and washouts. In the lower
portion OF the town streets and eel
lars were flooded.
