palling account Of the terrible storm and flood
In Sardinia on Thursday and Friday last,

worth Of property was destroyed. Tho plain
Of Campidano for fifteen miles north Of Gag
liari was affected. The plain stretches from
Cagliari to Orestano, n distance of ffty-ninc
miles, and Is an important vine and olive
growing center.
The first indications Of the approaching
hurricane were noticed on Thursday after
noon. The heat Of the atmosphere became
oppressive, and cattle and other animals grew
restless and hurriedly sought shcltar. Soon
heavy black clouds tlnged with red appeared.
The peasants working In the fields became
terrified and took refuge In their homes As
the darkness Of night came on the cyclone
burst upon the plain with full force. lnccs-
SAINT flashes of lightning and heavy peals Of
thunder accompanied the shrieking Of the
wind, while loud subterranean rumbllngs
added their tcrrors TO the storm.
Rain fell In torrents and all lowlands wsro
flooded in very short time. The river Manu-
aud other streams interesting the district

THE CIVIC PARADE.
sizty-nve Thousand Men March Through
Chicago's Streets.

Sixty-nve Thousand Men March Through
Chicaso's Streets.
Chicagoans and their thousan DIS of visitors
had the pleasure of viewing monster parade
on the 10th, which would have done honor 10
London.
The center Of attraction was the great re.
Viewing stand on the north front OF the gov.
eminent building at Adams street, and to.
ward this point the crowd poured early In the
morning. The workmen were putting the
finishing touches on the big stand when the
first ticket holders arrived Besides the
stand from Dearborn to Clark streets, there
were stands for the school children, In ma.
tional colors, and every window, cornice and
projection on the big building was occupied
by eager sghtsecrs. The streets were kept
clear, but every other spot where person
could sit or stand was occupied.
1t was twenty-threc minutes after the noon
hour when the mounted police at the head Of
the column swung into Adams from State.
Chief McClaughry rode ahead and he and bis
men were cheered. Vice President Morton
stood up and took of his hat to the mayor
and aldermen who followed In carriages. ID.
rector Sousa carried his baton and q bouquet
ahead OF his new marine band, and after the
aldermen came the Italian societies, barring
their heads to the Vice president. Then came
the governors Of states with their stalls, and
all were well received, Mckinley being given
an ovation. Fifer too, was cheered, and the
young governor Of Massachusetts had great
reception. Tho Chicago hussars were APP
plauded, and the vice president himself clap
ped his hands for the trim Indian boys from
Carlisle. Then came the Foresters. Mean
time the governors had left the line and
mounted the rcvicwing)stand.
As the column passed along the school
children waved their flags and sang "The
Star Spangled Banner"
After the dignltarics had gone came the
rank and file Of the parade, and in . forma-
tIon OF their files, In double rank, they rolled
like huge human wave past the reviewing
stand for almost three hours. As each sue
cessivc body reached the east side Of the fed.
cral building 1t was greeted by 1000 little
girls, arranged In the shape and drapcd in the
colors of the American flag. Each little tot
carried In her hand dlminutive banner, and,
as the sweet childish voices arose to cheer
the marching men, those little pieces Of bnn1
Ing would futter wildly. 1t was beautiful
and inspiring sight, aud not once did the
little ones fall to receive an acknowledgment
Of their kindly greeting.
In the evening military ball was given at
the armory by the First infantry. 1t was at
tended by 10000.
An elaborate banquet was given by tho
Fellowship club. Among those In attend
ance were Chauncey NJ. Depew, Cardinal
Gibbons, cx-Prcsldcnt Hayes, Vice President
Morton, Secretary Rusk, Governor Burlcigh,
Chief Justice Fuller and Senator Cullom, be-
sides some four score Of others Of equal fame.
