DESTRUCTIVE RAIN-STORM.

Baltimore and Vicinity Submerged by the
Most Terrific Storm for Years-A Vast
Amount of Property Swept Away and
One Life Reported Lost.
BALTIMORE, Nd, June 29.-This city
was visited by storm yesterday morning
that caused more damage and created great
er CONSERVATION than any similar visitation
since tile 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,
overlooked their banks, and the water backed
into the neighboring 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 were heard above the
raging of the storm. Such articles as could be
saved were dragged to the upper stories, and
excited people shrieked from the windows
for aid. Deputy Marshal Frey and Captain
Lannan, of the Central police station as
sisted by other officers, rOwed to the be-
leaguered houses in skiffS and took the
children to places of safety. All this time
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 We're some
narrow escapes.
During the storm the play of lightning
was inceSsant, every CLEAN being followed
by terrific claps of thunder. People in ev-
cry household were astir. Westminster
Presbyterian Church, historical building,
was struck by lightning and badly damaged.
At Woodbury. Fletcher Vandancker, boss
mechanic, was fatally injured by the giving
away of wall on which he was standing,
while directing the saving of property. At
Calverton stock-yards bridges were swept
away and hogs swept down the falls and
number drowned. At Hamden, Canton
and other suburban towns and villages
there was also great loss of property, and
the roads were left in depIorable condi-
ton. In every portion of the city prop
erty-oWners suffered to a greater or less de-
gree. The total loss will amoItnt i'll the
aggregate to $3.50, 900.

A Wonderful Fish.

A correspondent of th. San Francisco
Examiner writes from Lake View, Ore:
"a wonderful fish is becoming nu-
merous in Goose Lake. It has the
power to fill itself with air until it be-
comes very much like a round ball. Of
evenings about shutdown they may be
seen playing on the surface of the
water. They will swell up by taking
in the air, and the wind will blow them
over the lake. They reflect all the col
ors of the rainbow, and when sporting
over the lake are grand sight. A
hunter several weeks ago saw crane
swallow one of these fish when in its
normal condition, but before the crane
had got more than fiftg feet up above
the lake the FISH had taken in enough
air to explode the crane. which, at the
sound of report like that of a gun,
flew all to atoms, and the fish came
lightly down on the water. no worse off
for the short ride in the ar. The fish
is great curiosity. never having been
found, believe. in other waters" The
last statement IS authentic.

They went I'D Broadway and then along
the boulevard chatting about inditfer-
ent matters and no hint was given

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
tomake 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 was informed
that he 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

abuse OF the powers of President of a
Nauonal bank can scarcely be imagined. 1t is

necessary that the full penalty of the law be
pronounced on you. A merciful considera-

The Obelisk Crumbline.

New YORK. June 30.-The statement of
Professor Eggleston that the Egyptian
obelisk in Central Park is rapidly decom-
posing is seconded by General di Cesnola.
The Obelisk is certainly disintegrating, and
its destruction is only matter of time,
owing to the sudden changes of tenn
perature for which New York is noted and
the action of frost, which Clipped the stone.
The only remedy he thinks is to have it en-
closed. This, he added could be accom-
plished by placing it in the large central
hall of the metropolitan Museum of Art,
which would involve the building of stone
foundation to cost $40, 900.
