TERRIFIC STORMS.

The storm that has ragged through
the West during the past few days
reached Pennsylvania yesterday. The
most serious damage is reported in and
about Pittsburg, where several persons
were killed, number Of buildings des-
troyed and many people struck by
lightning. The almost cyclone then
Jumped to Harrisburg and across the
State to the Schuylkill Valley, thence
into New Jersey, from whence it pass
ed out to sea near Long Branch.
In and around Philadelphia the blow
was noted for the great amount of dust
it raised, the force of the wind, the
downpour of rain and the intense dark
ness. 1t reached there about $50 o'clock.
No casualties have been reported.
In Pittsburg and vicinity the storm
was terrific last night, and although it
did moi continue for any great length OF
time. it was most destructive in its
character, and several persons are
known to have been killed while many
others were injured. Ten houses were
blown down in bunch at one place,
while many others were unroofed.
The shanty of Professor Gerrodete, of
Harvard College, who is exploring the
Indian mounds, was demolished and
his assistant, Professor Struch. killed.
All kinds of overhead wires and cleo
trio word were badly damaged, and
communication with outside points was
entirely cut of.
The worst storm of the many that have
swept over Baltimore in the last two
weeks visited that city last night. The
deluge of rain flooded streets and houses
in the lower part of the city. Sewers
were burst open, skylights blown of
dwellings, and the interiors flooded.
Large trees in the parks were blown
down, and some Of them split in two
bv electrical bolts. The storm came up
suddenly, and it is feared that some of
the excursion boats and pleasure yachts
on the bay suffered. In Baltimore,
Hartford and Carroll counties the storm
was even worse than in the city. Barns
were struck by lightning, crops washed
out, and great amount Of other dam
age done.

Mr.. CowEN, the president and re-
ceiver of the B. & O. R. R., is mem
Der of Congress and draws his salary as
such, though he was rarely in his seat
at the late session of that body, his
time being taken up with his railroad
business. He was elected to Congress
as democrat. He now, it appears,
has time enough to enter actively upon
the republican campaign in Maryland,
and has applied for one hundred thou
sand republican campaign documents,
and is having them distributed among
all the employees of the road of which
he is the receiver. Mr.. Cowen would
do better for his road and for every
body interested in its welfare if he
would devote more of his attention to
it's business and less to republican
politics.

THAT the present visible indications
are in favor of the election of the dem
ocratic ticket is made plain by the fact
that the New York Sun, the most We
hement of all the boilers, says: 1.-The
result of the two conventions in St.
Louis last week increases the possible
tv of disaster in November. 1t Is both
useless and foolish to blink that fact. "
Yes, the fact is too patent to be blink
ed, and is just as apparent in New
York and in the New England States
as it is any where else. The wiser, and
therefore the better plan for such DEM
ocrats as don't approve all the planks
in the democratic platform to pursue
is, not to stultify themselves by voting
for man who opposes every cardinal
principle of democracy, but to vote their
party's ticket and to nominate conserva-
tive candidates for Congress, who will
be able to guide and direct to safe
harbor their party's ship that is now
under full Roadway with free silver
tide and free silver breeze in her IA

Notice of the death of Mrs Raymond
Smith from typhoid fever has been given in
the GAZETTE. Her late residence was in the
neighborhood of the sewer now being con-
structcd on Pitt street and the circumstances
of her death bring to mind several who died
of the same dreaded disease some years ago
on Royal street when the excavations were
being made there in long used bitches for the
purpose of laying the paved cutters. At that
time the cause of the appearance Of this and
other diseases was attributed to the upheaval
of earth laden with disease-bearing germs AS
MANY excavations are now being made in our
streets would it not be we'll for those hav-
ing charge of the health provisions oil our
town to consider the matter and, if their wis
dom suggests. make some sanitary regulation to
obviate the i'll effects OF the noxious gases
