PITTSBURGH, July 26,-The damage by
this mornings storm was much greater
than at first supposed, and will probably
reach sS5O,OOO, The storm appears to
have been confined to Western Pennsyl-
vania, and was the most severe known for
many years, From almost every town
along the rivers reports Of great damage
are being received. Houses were flooded,
crops destroyed, trees and fences washed
away. Almost every railroad entering the
city suffered from landslides and washouts,
But the fury Of the elements was probably
greatest along the Pittsburgh and Western
road. Whole fields OF wheat and corn
have been destroyed, and at one point
near Evans City strip OF woodland sew.
enty-fve yards wide by three'quarters Of
mile long was leyeled by tornado.
At Pine creek along Butchers run, and
In the SewiCkley valley the water Hooded
houses and many families were forced 10
leave their homes and flee to places OF
safety to escape downing,
A strange coincidence OF the storm was
the fact that 1t occurred on the twelfth an-
nIyersary OF the Butchers run food, ia
which nearly 200 persons lost their lives,
To-day the residents Of that place had
severe reminder Of the terrible disaster,
as the storm played havoc in that neigh
borhood.
As lar as heard from there were no
casualties in this city, In the country
districts q number OF persons were in
jured and two killed. AT LesChburg,
Pa, Peter PurviaGce, aged eighteen years,
sought shelter from the storm under u
large tree, which was struck by lightning,
Young PuryianCs was killed instantly
A lady, whose name could not be learned,

GRAFTON, DAH., July 2G.-A very dis
astrous storm occurred Saturday, in the
region adjacent to st. Thomas. The 'clout
gathered with all It's force over the village
OF St. Thomas, where, after a violent thun
der-clap, dust and shingles being carried
through the air, the storm broke in tive
parts, one travelling westward and thu
other part journeying eastward. The
storm destroyed everything In ita path
from st. Thomas across the Red river into
Minnesota, four to six miles In width anC
fully thirty miles in length. Thousands
Of acres OF grain are totally destroyed. A
young son Of farmer by the name o.
Dundear started out on horseback JUS
previous 10 the storm, and he has not beer
seen since. His horse arrived home aftei
the storm bleeding from cuts caused by
tho hailstones.
The village Of ST, Andrews was damaged
the hallstones tearing through tho shin
giles, breaking the sashes and panes o
glass. a farmer by the name Of jackson
in Martin township, was haying with the
hired man aB the storm broke over them
Before the hired man could gain shelter
he was struck by q hailstone and seriously
injured. Mr. jackson, after considerable
effort, dragged him under the hay wagon
and saved his life. The hailstoneB were az
large as hens eggs. 1t is estimated that
fully one-thlrd OF tho grain has been de-
stroyed by hail within the past month in
Walsh county alone. The damage from
this last storm Is nCalCulable at the pres.
ent time, but will fully reach half a mil.
lion dollars. Many OF the farmers will bs
left entirely destitute. Without doubt II
was the worst that has occurred In this
section Of the valley.
Another dispatch from Maysville, Oak,
says: "The heaviest hail storm which
ever visited this section occurred Friday
about 5 o'clock, which destroyed thou.
sands OF acres Of the best wheat In Dakota.
The storm extended along the Goose river,
striking the very best country in Dakota,
extending from mile north OF this place
to about live miles south, and extending
northwest about twenty miles. 1t is i'm.
possible 10 give any correct estimate OF the
loss, bat 1t Is safe 10 say that not less than
25,OO0 acres will be q total loss, while a
great deal was only partial. Several men
working in field were seriously injured
by hail stones. Crops In the vicinity OF
Golden Lake were entirely wiped out.
The destruction In the path Of the storm
Is complete. Six miles south OF NIaysville
Is tract eight or nine miles aquare on
which not st aw is left standing where a
few days ago stood wheat promising thirty
bushels per acre"

Sales OF Engllah wheat during the past
week we're 27204 quarters at Sis Sd,
against S2,254 quarters at 33a lid during
the corresponding week OF last year.
Flour is steady, Foreign wheats are life
less. Buyers do not show the slightest
anxiety as regards the future. Prices Of
American red wheats favor buyers. There
were eleven arrivals and FIVE sales. Two
cargoes were withdrawn aud four re.
mained, one Of which was American. AT
to.day's market wheat was slow and prices
not improved. English flour Is scarce and
prices against buyers. Foreign flour Is
dull and neglected. American corn was
81 dearer. Round corn was steady but
prices were no dearer.
