READING, Pa, Aug. 14.-Reports COM
ing in from the country districts to-day
show that last nights cloud burst and
storm was unprecedented. Many thousand
bushels of unripe fruit are now lying on
the ground. The streets of Hamburg pre-
sented the appearance of rivers. Hun
dreds of cellars are flooded, wagons and
agricultural implements were washed from
farmyards INTO the Schuylkill and carried
away. The West Hamburg rolling mill
and Tobias brick yard were washed out by
the stream, compelling the employees to flee
for their lives. The embankment along
the Reading road was washed away, leav-
ing the road and sills hanging in the air.
COrntields were washed away, leaving not
a vestige of the crops, and tobacco fields
were ridded. The fruit crops are a total
loss. Three barns valued at SIP, 600 were
struck by lightning and destroyed, together
with several ANIMALS, and the roofs of
three churches in the western section of
Berks county were partially blown off.

The smoke which filled the atmosphere
yesterday gave rise to all sorts of rumors
about fires in Wisconsin aud Minnesota.
The wind was blowing from the East all
day, and one report was to the effect that
eight or ten farms in Wisconsin had burned
over, together with the town Of Somerset,
and that the flames were rapidly creeping
toward the st. CroiX river. Another re-
port was to the effect that two farmers on
Long Lake had lost everything they had,
and that the woods and prairieS were burn
ing, and another rumor was that at the
original Long lake nineteen farms had
burned, much stock perished, several per-
sons burned to death. and that the whole
country was enveloped in flames and clouds
of smoke. This lake is called First or Long
lake, and is the other side of Lake DemOntre-
vile, which is nine miles from Saltwater.
Investigations failed to prove the correct
ness of any of these wild reports. No
farmers were in Saltwater from Somerset
during the day and nothing could be learned
about the reported fires there and none
could be seen from the original Long Lake,
W here such great losses were reported.
Several parties were in Saltwater from the
neighborhood of Long Lake. about two and
a half miles from there, at which two houses
were reported destroyed, but none knew
anything about any fire. No reliable in
formation could be learned concerning any
OF the reported fires. although persons could
be found who had heard all sorts of rumOrS.
The smoke so plainly visible all day was
not caused by a fire west of Saltwater, in
which direction both the lakes are located,
as the wind was blowing from the East.
