Sioux Fails. s. D., July 10 (SpeclaD-This the
most interesting day of the Cons nstitutiOna Convention
Yesterday the standing committees appointed

Of each article to the respective committees. PTeS-

points. An adjournment taken from Monday
until Thursday afternoon TO allow President Fancher
time to construct the standing committees of the
vcnlon. It is understood that they finished
last night but the result will be announced until
tomorrow. There is a strong feeling that the com
posi,ion of the committees win favor no special
interests. but that all will be treated fairly and
justly.
Dakota politics and politicians really warmer
than Constitutional Convention gossip and ROsspcrs,
and already the sides forming for the first
paicn of North Dakota Ex-Governors Pierce and
Oidway seem TO have pretty thing Of the United
states Senatorial positions, while General Allen IS
leading for Governor. These all Republicans.
The Democrats preparing for full ticket, and viii
fight their hardest for It, They hope for much from
The personal popularity of their candidates. Only
nineteen out of the seventy delegates 10 the Con-
stiatiOnal Convention are Democrats, and these
elected on account of feeling among Republicans
that in the convention there should be repre-
sen,aton Of the minority. Tomorrow the special
committee from Sioux Falls :. D., VIII arrive ana

A FLOOD FOLLOWED BY HAIL.
DAMAGE FROM SWOLLEN STREAMS IN PEN
SYLVANIA

SYLVANIA
Greensburg, Penn, July 10-One Of the most
destructive storms that ever occurred in this
region passed over the northern end of the county
this evening about o'clock. Rain fell in
torrents, and the creeks for miles around the min
ing village of Crabtree overhOwc,l, and crops of
wheat hay and oats were carried down the streams
Along Crabtree and Thorn creeks trees were
uprooted and buildings swept away. Every
bridge on both creeks from Crabtree to Salts
burg was carried away, and two or three hundred
yards Of the Crabtree branch railroad were com
pletely washed out. No lives were lost. A hail
storm which followed was most disastrous to the
corn crop.
The storm covered an area Of about thirty
miles, and in many places the wheat which had
been cut by the farmers in the morning was
carried down the stream in shocks. At Salem
and at the Five Points, and all along the Loyal
hanna Creek, the damage is great The loss will
run up into thousands of dollars. 1t is believed
that the food was caused by cloudburst mas
much as it was confined to that narrow limit,
the rain here being light. The Crabtee Railroad
is branch Of the Pennsylvania road, and it is
thought the full extent of the damage to the road
has not yet been told, as it runs for distance
on the fat below where the washOut was OBJ

DAMAGED BY THE STORM.
Amsterdam, n. Y, July 10.-The indirect cause
OF the loss of life and property at Johnstown,
n Y, was the breaking of McVeighs dam, five
miles east of the town. The food washed down
the neighboring creeks, overfowing the low
ground on both sides. At Washington and Perry
sts the water was one and half feet deep shut
ting off horsecars and all other travel Youngloves
lumber yard was completely flooded. The wreclIage
hoated down the creek and helped to weaken
the bridge in Brdge.st, which went down and
carried away two railroad bridges of the Johns
town and Gloversvlle Railroad, one of which was
the main track bridge. The large iron bridge in
State-st, near the railway station, was the next
to go. The water cleared out Levi Stephenson's
lumber yard and planning mill, doing large
amount of damage. Great quantities of stock,
consisting of doors, sashes, blinds and the like,
were swept away. SchOonmaker's grocery store
was completely flooded and narrowly escaped being
carried away. The waters struck Liebenhem IL
Co.'S. leather dressing factory, formerly the old
saw and file factory, tore out the
bulkhead, destroyed the saw-mill aud
rooted out the main trunk
Between and o'clock Schriyer's dam gave
way, and the water Hooded the property in that
neighborhood. Stewards leather mill suffered
the worst damage. The east embanlment~ of the
dam was forced down the stream, crushing the
mill and tearing out the foundation walls for
distance of twenty feet About o'clock a
portion of the east walk Of the Perry-st. stone
arch bridge, extending TO the street-car tracks,
was carried away.
