WICHITA, KAs., May IA strange at
mospherical phenomenon was witnessed at
Maize, west of this city, yesterday. A
storm cloud burst and extended over a
space, parallelogram in form, about 500
yards wide and one mile in length. For
half an hour rain came down in torrents,
the heavens were black, aud darkness
almost equal to that Of night covered the
entire area.
FRIGHT OF THE PEOPLE
People ran atfrighted from their homes,
many crying that the end OF the world had
come. Maize is situated on the south bank
of the Arkansas river, and the streets were
turned into rivers, which fortunately
found outlets in the Arkansas. An eye
witness describes the rain as coming down
in torrents, washing away a number of
houses,> and moving others from thoir
foundations
FOUR DROWNED.

to come straight down, and could not have
been thicker had it found its source from a
lake in the air. The bodies of the Rockby
family have not yet been recovered. The

cattle and horses were drowned.

BARGES RAM WAR SHIPS.
The Former Go to the Bottom With
Valuable Cargoes.


New ORLEANS, May 7.-During heavy
rain and thunder storm this afternoon the
towboat Future City and three barges,
from st. Louis, came in collision with three
United States war vessels at anchor in front
of the city. Two of the barges were su8k,
and the third was badly damaged but most
of its freight will be saved. The two barges
sunk are total losses. One contained 81 900
bushels of bulk wheat and the other a full
cargo of freight. The barges were valued
at $4,000 each, and their cargoes at $4,000.
THE EFFECT ON THE WAR VESSELS
The first vessel struck by the Future
Citys barges was the Atlanta. One of the
barges drifting sideways struck the prov of
the Atlanta, and, being held fast, caused
the Atlanta to drag her anchor for nearly
a mile Finally a number of tugs came to
her assistance pulled off the barge and
beached it. The other barges driftod hy
the Atlanta One of them struck the
Galena and sunk, breaking the Galena's
anchor chain and causing her to drift down
the stream. The barge was at length taken
in tow by the tug Magnolia and the war
ship secured.
THE YANTIC UNINJURED.
The third barge struck the Yantic. swung
around and was somewhat damaged, but
the Yantic was unin jured.
The Galena received slight damage to her
rigging and bow. The other vessels of the
fleet suffered no damage.
The barges belonged to the Mississippi
Valley transportation Company. John A.
Stephenson, the agent, says that the loss
and damage to the barges is fully $50, 900,
and that they were not insured, the com
pany carrying their own risks. The cargo
is believed to have been fully insured.
