AT CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, Nov. 26.-The rain which
began here Friday night stopped last
midnight after having precipitated two
and n half inches of water. a high
wind cleared the sky and, descending,
proceeded to clear the earth. 1t came
in n series of hurricane puffs from vari-
Gus directions. These blows followed in
quick succession and they were as
caprcious about where they struck as
they were about the direction they took.
But it was on the river that the great
est havoc was done. 1t was about half
past twelve that the first hard blow
came. 1t did its best for two or three
minutes, straining' the cables of the YES
sells moored along the II miles of river
front. At near ] o'clock it came still
stronger and stayed longer than before.
This time it got its widest work i'll
among the boats. Only the mischief on
the immediate river front was asccr-
tainable because the telephone and tele-
graph wires were down. Down the
river near Riverside were moorcd the
John X. Speed. big Now Orleans boat,
the Buckeye State and the large tow
boat of w. w. O'Neill The Speed and
Buckeye State were blown across the
river and moored without damage. A

Rclford was driven towards the big stone
piers of the Louisville and Nashville
railway bridge with ominous speed. For
long time steam struggled with the
storm for the safety of the panic stricken
passengers and finally triumphed, landing

HILL ~ \ LECTURER.
A Rather Small Audience Greeted the
Senator's Debut in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Nov. Ex-senator Hill was
greeted by an audience of about 400 peo-
pie at his first appearance as a public
lecturer in this city tonight. The price
of admission to the theatcr was too high,
and that is given as an explanation OF
the rather small attendance.
The audience consisted mainly Of old
line Democrats who entertained Senator
Hill during the day. The lecture was on
the subject of Liberty" it's underlying
idea being that the safest kind of liberty
and government was that which did not
interfere with individual liberty and did
not attempt to legislate in matters of
public customs and habits. 1t was an
elaboration upon a former speech of his
delivered in New York, explaining why he
was II Democrat and why every true
lover of liberty ought to be a Demo
crat. He spoke at length of the Mon
roe doctrine, in which he showed him
self to he strong adhercnt and pro
claimed his sympathy with the Cubans in
their struggle for independence. He de
nounced the alteration for titles which
was growing in certain parts of America.

AT BUFFALO.

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 26.-The gale
which has been blowing here from an
early hour this morning is subsiding to-
night. The damage to various kinds of
property has been very great. but no
fatalities have occurred. Most of the
loss has been due to high water in the
harbor, caused by the prevailing direction
of the wind. The water in the harbor
and river has risen six feet since yes
terday. AS Il result the New York Cen
trail tracks at the foot of Georgia street
have been washed away and no belt
of the Philadelphia and Reading have
also been washed out at the same place
and the trains on that road are stalled
there.
A great deal of damage was done along
the sea wall and squatterS there had their
homes washed away.
Down in the Erie basin considera BILE
damage was done to the fleet of excur
sion steamers which had been laid up
there for the winter. The water has
risen nine feet in 24 hours and played
havoc with the boats. The $4,000 side
wheel excursion steamer Shrewsbury
was washed away from the supports upon
which it was placed and beached. The
steamer will be damaged at least half
its value. The steamer Harrison met
Il similar mishap and sustained very great
damage. The tug Elk was sunk by the
large freight steamer Syracuse in a col
lision which occurred at the foot of Com
mercial street this afternoon. Several
persons have been injured by flying OBJ

AT KANSAS CITY.

storm, as far as Kansas City is con.
cerned, is practically at an, end. 1t
reached it's climax in point of low tenn
perature at 7:3O o'clock this morning
when the mercury fell to 10 points aboye
zero, nearly 10 degrees lower than the
lowest point Yesterday. The wind, how
ever, spent its force nearly II hours be-
fore. The storm seriously affected the
trains due in the city this morning anu
most of the trains from the East ana
West pulled into the Union depot, be-
hind time. The conductors reported no
serious trouble with the snow. Inc de-
lay was due to the crippled wire service
which made the running of trains haz-
ardous and uncertain. The trains. were
running ON regular schedules again TO-
night. But little news has been re-
ceiyed from Kansas points, but 1t Is
known that the storm still RACES in the
