John Mccullough Placed in an Asylum by
Friends.

Friends.
New YORK, June 29.-John Mccullough,
the tragedian, is in the Bloomingdale
Asylum for the Insane. On Saturday after
noon he was invited to go out for a drive
with three friends, one of whom was Cap
tain William Conner, of the st. James Hotel.
They went up Broadway and then along
tho boulevard chatting about inditfer-
ent matters and no hint was given
of the true object of their drive. They had
with them the necessary certificate from
physicians who have examined the dement,
ed actor, and they drove directly to the
asylum, where the party alighted and went
to the office of Medical Superintendent
Nicholas. Mccullough was easily induced
to make a tour of inspection through the
vast brown-stone building, which looks
decidedly attractive from the outside.
When the quarters reserved for
Mccullough were reached he wa informed
thai lie must remain in them, and despite
his strenuous objections the door was closed
upon him, and his friends regained their
carriage and proceeded homeward. A re-
porter who visited the asylum yesterday
was Informed that the actor had been taken
there late in the afternoon, and that he
would be treated well.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 29.-This city
was visited by a storm yesterday morning
that caused more damage and created great
er CONSERVATION than any similar visitation
since tho great flood in 1868. Rain began
to descend in torrents about five o'clock,
and continued to fall in great sheets for
more than one hour. Soon Jones' Falls,
which run through the center Of the city,
overtlowed their banks, and the water backed
into the neigllboring streets. Harrison
street, which is occupied by secondhand
dealers, was deluged, and the lower floors
OF houses filled with water five and six feet
: deep. The occupants were entirely cut off
from terra firma. The falls were behind
and the flooded streets before them. Great
CONSERVATION prevailed, and the cries of the
women and children We're heard above the
raging of the storm. Such articles as COT Il be
saved were dragged to the upper stor,,s. and
excited people shriekcd from the windows
for aid. Deputy Marshal Frey and Captain
Lannar, of the Central police station. as

the rainfall was terrific. Fortunately it
was already daylight. Had it occurred two
hours previously the loss of life would have
been great. AS it was, there were some
narrow escapes.
During the storm the play of lightning
was incessant, every CLEAN being followed
by terrific claps Of thunder. People in ey-
cry household We're astir. Westminster

was struck by lightning and badly damaged.
