Yesterday aud Sunday II was learned
that an almost incalculable amount of
damage had been done In the county
by the wind and rain storm which
prevailed Saturday aud Saturday
night.
Yesterday large numbers of promi-
nent gentlemen from the county were
in the city and detailed terrible story
of the damage done, resume of the
damage reported showing an estimated
loss of nearly $4,000.
From the Bolls place the following
report was sent TO the 9. H.: "Another
fearful calamity came upon us Satur-
day morning when we were visited by
one of the most terrific hailstorms that
ever was witnessed IN this county.
The ground was white in few min
ntes, and il piled In drifts two feet
deep, and much damage was done. A
cyclone broke over the country in the
evening, blowing down cabins on MIR.
Hullum's place, razing fences and doing
much damage. Houses were also
blown down on the old Luckett place,
and large trees were twisted out Of the
ground and snapped off like pipe
STEMS"
Signal Observer Hyatt, in charge of
this station, says the storm was one Of
the heaviest ever known in these latl-
tudes. From the time the storm started
until it ceased S.65 inches of water fell
into the rain guage at the observers
station. The cyclone passed around
to the east of the city, and was not felt
here at all.
From all parts of the county heard
from culverts and bridges arc gone,
none being able to withstand the force
of the floods, and the damage to roads,
bridger, culverts and private property
is roughly estimated at from $4,000
TO $4,000. The county is one of the
heaviest losers, as all of the bridges
will have to be rebuilt at once and that
will require a large outlay of money.

A railroad reporter said: zone Of the
largest and mos important, as well as
most sensational, railroad meetings / nave
ever attended was that held in Cleveland
in 1881. It was for the consolidation Of two
parallel lines Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton and Bee line roads. At this
meeting were w. II. Vanderbilt, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, W. X. Vanderbilt, Augustus
Schell, b. II. Bristow, william L. Scott, j..
II. DeyereauX, Alexander Ferguson and
Stevenson Burke. It was a snap meeting.
That is to say, the Vanderbilt interest had
decided upon this consolidation regardless
Of the laws Of Ohio, which prevented any
such thing involving two parallel lines.
AL the preliminary papers had been pre-
pared In New York, and it was proposed to
rush the matter through before the courts
could interfere. But injunctions were
served, Vanderbilt refused to receive them
and within n very short time an order Of
arrest followed for contempt Of court, and
an attempt was made to serve the warrants
upon Vanderbilt. In the meantime, how
ever, his adherents were pretty active. The
meeting WAS held. he was made a director
OF the road, the consolidation was com
pleted In spite of the law, a special engine
was ordered steamed up and the Wander.
bilts fed the state AS fast as steam power
could carry them.
In the course OF a year or two, when the
courts got a whHck at the matter. the
whole thing was overturned, the injuuc-
tons In the meantime standing against the
consolidation. The whole state was up in
arms against the Vanderbilts. It was fully
two years before Vanderbilt veutured with
in the boundaries of Ohio. When he went
west he had to 20 through Canada or

HOW TO SUCCEED LIFE.

A strong will, patient temper,
and sound common sense, when uni
ted in the same individual, are as
good as fortune to their possessor.
Barring untoward accidents, the
man endowed with these qualities,
who starts ON his career with de-
termination to reach desirable
position, does reach it.
Our admiration is sometimes be-
spoken for successful people, who
are said to have ''leaped over every
obstacle" Biographers Of eminent
men particually fond of their heroes
arrive at the goal of their hopes by
this steeple-chase progress. But
the truth is, that impetuous spirits
who charge at every impeachment in
their path on the sink-or-swim. to
survive-or>perish plan, unless favor
ed with extra ordinary luck, are
more apt to sink than to swim, to
perish than to survive. 1t is advis-
able to go round obstacles that you
might break your neck in attempts
ing to take at flying leap. Policy
is as necessary to success, in most
cases, as energy.
When a young man has made up
his mind that he will get on in life.
let him take due time to reflect on
the best means of accomplishing his
object, and having laid down such
rules for his future conduct as his
reason and his conscience approve,
let him stick to them infexibly. He
must torego seli~indulgence where
it would be likely to interfere with
his interests select as his friends
men who have the ability and the
will to further his main design, and
learn to work perseveringly toward
Me object without being discouraged
by the rude jostlings that he is pref
ty sure to meet with on the road.
Whoever pursues this course is sure
to be set down by the world as a
man bound to succeed-and the
world seldom makes mistake N
these matters.
Persons who are recognized by
society as rising men, have only
themselves to blame if they don't
rise. Unless they kick over their
own dish by some act of imprudence,
their "upward" movement is assur-
ed.
