LATER NEWS ITEMS.

Later and more complete reports
from the storm swept region of Ohio show the
loss of life and damage to property to have
been greater than the first accounts indicated
The tornado plowed its way in a southeast
erly direction through one hundred miles of
splendid farming country, leaving desola-
ton in its wake Seneca, Wyandot, Han
cock, Hardin, Auglaize, and Mercer
Counties mourn the loss OF millions of
dollars in property, and, above all, scores of
lives. In Mercer County thirty dead bodies
had been found; with many times that num-
Der injured Three persons were killed at
Wabash City In Dunkirk, Hardin County,
five persons were killed and twenty badly
injured; and in the vicinity of the town
five more persons were killed and number
injured, two probably fatally In the Blanch-
ard River valley the storm made a clean sweep
ten miles long aud one-half mile wide, demol-
ishing 100 buildings Wyandot and Hancock
Counties adjoining one another, were devas-
tated Carey, prosperous town IN the
first-named county, received tremend-
GUS shaking up. Seventeen buildings
were completely destroyed and six
persons killed outright. Dloomville, South
Carey, Wharton, and many other villages suf-
fcred in like manner. Ten miles west of Tif
fin, the county seat OF Tihn County, strip of
country half mile wide and several miles in
length was totally stripped of buildings, as,
in fact, of all e4se above the surface of
the earth At Kenton aud Lancaster, and i'll
their neighborhood immense damage was
done. Five persons were reported killed and
thirteen wounded near Celina At Findlay
two persons were killed and number injured,
and at Forest the elements created great havoc.
AT the latter place several persons were killed,
two churches were destroyed, and so violent
was the storm that beds were carried some
distance with people in them. The damage,
to say nothing of the loss of life, is placed
at 100000. At Kenton man was killed by
lightning, church was demolished, and con-
siderable damage was done to buildings and
property Around Lima there was great loss
among the live stock, and in the vicinity of
Bucyrus over twenty buildings were wiped out
by the rushing storm. In Indiana Michigan,
and Illinois the winds were also disastrous,
but very few cases of loss of life were re-
ported except two from being struck by light
ming at Carlinville, I'LL
The Ohio Legislature last week
passed bill abolishing the Board of Public
Works and the Board of Health of Cincinnati,
and authorizing Gov. Foraker to appoint five
citizens to constitute Board of Public Affairs,
whose dut es shall comprise those which
formerly devolved upon the old boards. Gov.
Foraker made the appointments the same
evening. The Board of Public Works has re-
solved to contest the legal existence of this
board by proceedings in quo warranto. 1t is
probable that the outcome of this case will set
tie the existing legislative middle.
