 The storm Elsewhere.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 23-The cyclone or waters bout, or com bination of both, of Tuesday night, wrought terrible havoc in thIs vir.uity.
 The storm came from the southwest and COt u dIrect limo for the northeast It was first So. .n in this vicinity about four miles south e this city. The path of the cyclone was not over POO yards wide. There were several strata of clouds which seemed no higher than the tree tops. They came on with a terrific roar like that made by distant thunder or the noise made by train.
 The first place which the cyclone is known to have struck is the country black smith shop of Theodore Bruce. Bruce had eaten his supper and had gone to close his shop when the storm struck it, and in Il few seconds hardly vestlge of the build ing renamed. A falling beam hit Bruce and crushed his skull. His house re- moved few yards, and although it did not receive the full force of the shock it is also sorry wreck. The cyclone then con tinued ln a straight course, tearing up everything Tn its way. Trees were torn up by the roots, crops completely destroyed, and nothing but Il snd waste and scattered debris remains.
 After striking Bruce's place it hit the dwelling of Gen. J. H. Wilson, the former president of the Now York and New Eng land railroad. HG beautiful house was completely hidden in the cluster of trees which were moved down like grass, and the building seriously damaged. It razed to the ground a large barn belonging to Mrs. Rogers, widow. Some fine blooded cattle were killed, aEd Mrs. Rogers's coachman was injured. About a quarter | of a mile distant it struck cluster of three houses within couple of hundred yards of each other. One was occupied by David Lentg, a trucker; another by Wm. Turner, blacksmith, and third by 8 family named Foster.

The Pennsylvania main line eastward has had a washout at Lari- mer, and last night trains were run over the West Penn division from Blairsville.
 BOSTON, Mass, Aug, 23-It will be difi- cult to estimate the actual damage caused by the disastrous rainfall. Hundreds of cellars were flooded, and much property was lost that will never be alluded to in public. There are two large plants in Rox- bury that suffered an aggregate loss of ! nearly $50, OOO, and the smaller sums will l increase that amount by several thousand. l The greater loss will fall upon the Boston Beltiog CoIlpapy. Three feet of water spread over their plant, ruinirg consider able unfinished stock and causing a loss of $s5,OtN. Towers oilcloth works wore also heavily damaged.

A landslide occurred on the Erie near the same place, but fortunately shere was no accident to the trains.
