GREAT DAMAGE IN ILLINOIS.
l'EoRrA, ILL.,, June 20.--The damage
by Thursdays storm is more general
and widespread than was at first sup
posed. A new iron bridge 800 feet
long over Ten-Milc creek. in Fond du

creek is high and people there are cut off
from communication with the rest of
the world. Just across the river from
Peoria two brickyards are under 10 feet
of water The face of the country was
entirely changed. Where hillocks stood
there are now ponds and where there
were ponds and depressions there are
now sand ridges. The damage to crops is
almost incalculable. The reports come
in slowly for the reason that in the
country districts all bridges were
swept away and the roads washed out
so that it is impossible for people to
get to this city.
