Chicago, March 6.-The storm which
ragged throughout the middle West on
Thursday night stands unparalleled
not only for the great extent of terri
tory over which it ranged, but for the
amount of water precipitated.. In
some instances the wind reached the
velocity of a hurricane and much dam
age to dwellings, barns, fences, orch
ards and forests has been reported
from various points throughout the
district. A not inconsiderable loss to
the people, as whole, will be caused
by the washing away of bridges and

the rural districts at a cost Of millions
of dollars, and which in many cases
have been totally destroyed.

Indianapolis, March 6-Advices from
every quarter of the state tell of great
damage by the flood. Nearly all the
wagon bridges in the vicinity of North
VarnOn were washed away and the
loss will be many thousands of dol

were compelled to move to higher
grounds and a number Of houses were
carried off by the high waters. Port
land suffered a deluge and the town
was partial Y submerged. Half OF
Washington is flooded and many fam
lilies are homeless. Bridges are washed
away and trains are delayed by wash
outs. At Vincennes the Wabash river
rose one foot an hour and railroad
traffic is seriously impeded. The hard

and hundreds of homes were flooded.
Canton Ohio, March 6.-The heaviest
rainfall in years fell here yesterday.
The SciotO river overlooked it's banks
