mencing at $40 o'clock, and at 10 O'Clock
il was still in progress. The electrical dis.
play was decidedly brilliant, and the rain
fall was very heavy, flooding many cellars
in various parts of the city, particularly
| the business houses on Main street between
Third and Fourth. The loss will reach
many thousands of dollars. The storm was
accompanied by q heavy fall Of hail, which
lasted about 10 minutes. The hailstones
we're very large and solid, and caused great
damage to windows, shrubbery, flowers and
fruit.
LATER-The storm resulted in consider
able damage. The rain fallen has filled
both Of the Miami rivers banks full. The
drainage of the city led the water to the
main street. where the business blocks oe.

store cellars, destroying goods. The Walk

patrol system is carried on. The women
and children are out of danger. The Big

CIScISNATI, May 13.-There is no tele-
graphic communication with Xenis or
Dayton, but from railroad officials it ia
ascertained that water fell so rapidly that
the ~culyerts under the railroad are choked
up, creating immense reservoirs. They
finally broke their entertainments, and
rushed through the town, tearing down
trees n washing away houses. Twenty
persons are reported to be killed, n a
large number injured. A fearful wind
blew dow trees and telegraph poles until
there was no communication with Cincin-
natl whatever. The Little Miami railroad
started its eastern trains two hours late
this morning, going by the way Of the

rainfall was the worst ever known in
that part of the State. 1t was like
q heightened cloudburst, beginning at
o'clock and continuing until after 10. The
Shawnee Run, which runs through 9 por-
ton of town, with cottages built on its
banks, rose to an unprecedented hight.
Exactly how the great volume Of water

and the inmates suddenly found them
selves helpless in the angry flood. How
many lives were lost is not yet known, but

more would yet be found. The storm is
described as the most disastrous ever
known on the Little Miami railroad. The
nearest approach any train could make to
the city was three miles. The bridges are
all washed away. In many places the
track is torn up, trees we're blown down,
fences destroyed and crops rnined. II

A Terrible Cyclone in Illinois.
JOLIET, ILL.,, May ia destructive cy-
clone is reported from Odell, a village 40
miles south OF here on the Chicago and
Alton, this afternoon at about 4 o'clock.
| Delegates to the State Sabbath School
Convention returning on the train arriv-
ing here at 6 P. N. state that as the train
was near Odell they saw the cyclone ap-
preaching. First they saw the roof OF an
| elevator raise and sail off in the air. and
the building collapse. Then trees and
houses raised up, tumbled over and over
like feathers, and we're shattered to pieces
both brick and frame. and all sizes,
from shanties to two-story buildings. The
train was stopped, but as the wind was
blowing parallel with the track it was no.
upset, though bricks and sticks broke the
windows. Considerable time was required
TO remove the debris from the track before
IL could proceed. After the cyclone the
people busted themselves looking under
ruined houses for those missing. The
train resumed it's journey without giving
the delegates O chance to learn of the cas-
%ualties. but they report that several men,
women and children are killed and in
icred.

circus was having q performance. and in
the midst Of the performance the storm !
