Damaged by the Storm.

About eight o'clock on the morning of
July 20 heavy rain storm came upon Gin
cinnati from the north, accompanied by
very severe thunder and lightning. The
rain fell in such torrents that all the hillside
streets were flowing with angry streams.
The banks of the Miami canal at York
street broke and the water poured from
the canal in "A great food. The cellars and
first floors of several buildings at this point
were filled with water and a stream of
several feet deep ran down York street and
Canal avenue The occupants of first floors
in some houses were rescued with dif fiji
Guilty.
Advices from other parts of the state
show that the same day heavy rains fell in
many places. A cloudburst is reported
ut Lancaster, which caused big woshtout
on the Columbus. Hooking Valley Il Toledo
railroad. AT Loyan heavy rain caused
great damage TO crops. Lightning struck
a house in the valley OF Georgesvi.le, in

burned half the town. At Marysville great
damage was down. Lightning struck TIE

HOrnll Lost.

There is no longer any doubt but that Ed
Hogan, the jackson aeronaut, who made
the ascension in the Campbell air ship from
Brooklyn, n. y, the other day, is lost.
Hogan had his parachute with him, but
he did not take it with him in the air ship
Campbell did not throw into the little car
in which Hogan sat life preserver.
The big ship rose swiftly, Hogan turnin g
the crank which governed the fan propeller
under the Car. The air. ship went up per-
pendicularly for about 100 feet, and then
stopped The machinery was evidently
not in perfect order. The ship sailed OF 10
the north. and then TO the east, and then
scared over to the southeast. The people
who watched itwere at IA less to understand
This course, for it was Prof. Hogans plan
TO sail over to New York. TO bal nee the
ship over the newspaper office, and thus
TO show TO the world what a success the air
ship was.
Everybody who saw the air ship sail
away was confident that the ship had lost
its power of steering, and was simply a
balloon.
Campbell has been tinkering away at his
air ship for 80 years or more, and says that
the ship ,oSt $4,000.

Hogan may have been picked up by YES
