the first diploma of doctor of divinity On
his return 10 Constantinople he joined,

encies having excited the suspicious of the
Turkish authorities, he was recalled to

The Central Ohio Storm.

COLUMBUS, o., July 31.-The storm
which swept over central Ohio Wednes-
day evening seems to have beer GEN.
tered over the southern part of this
county. At Grove City, nine miles
south of this city, 80 small stables,
nearly all Of which contained valuable
horses in training for races soon to be
held at the fair grounds there, were
overturned. None of the horses were
injured and their keepers escaped by
being at supper at the time.
There is a large canning establish
men there which had just opened for
the season, but the large crop of toma-
toes and sweet corn which was being
canned is entirely destroyed. The to-
mato fields are under three feet of wa
ter.
The walls of a large brick building
at Wall and Capital streets, this city,
occupied by A. L. Pearson as a livery
stable, collapsed. The fall was caused
by softening of the ground by the con-
tinued rains. The building was ruined,
but no one was hurt.

died. Mr.. Livingston is a close stu
dent and follower of the Tice school,
and his weather forecasts of late have
been the most accurate ever made.
