The Loss of Life Not as Great az
Feared at First.

Youngstown, o., July 2S.-The storm
which struck this city and vicinity at z
o'clock last night was very disastrous in
its results.
Carl Henry Mayer was struck by light
ming and instantly killed, while his sweet
heart, who stood near, was badly shocked.
The Mahoning river rose two feet in an
hour and washed away several bridges.
Crab creek, emptying into the stream rose
two feet in an incredibly short space of
time, doing considerable damage.
Houses were washed from their founda-
lions and men, women, and children were
taken from the second stories.
Trains are beginning to move after
twelve hours delay.
The estimate loss in this city alone will
APPROACH 100000.
The storm was local, and in many re-
spects resembled a cloudburst, the peo-
pie being given little warning.
Great loss of life was narrowly averted
at the Spring common foot bridge. Men.
women and children insisted Oh remaining
to watca the angry waters below in spite
of the fact that the structure was unsafe.
Finally two policemen with Drawn clubs
cleared the bridge, and none too soon. for
few seconds later it wasss~ept away.
Farmers suffered greatly in Trumbull
county. Fifteen barns were struck by
lightning and burned. The crops were de-
stroyed and buildings generally damaged,
but no loss of life is reported.
Ptttsburg, Pa, July 23.-All the railways
centering in Pittsburg suffered from the
great storm which swept with such terrific
force through the Mahoning and Shenan-
go valleys. On the Erie and Ashtabula di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad the
damage was particularly severe. The rain
resembed a cloudburst in many places
landshdes and washouts were frequent
and many bridges and trestles were rem
dered unsafe.
Small creeks were transformed into tor
rents, while in some places the roads were
turned into swiftly running streams en-
dangering the trestles over them. 1t was
the most remarkable rain which ever fell
in the valleys.
Hinton, w. Va, July 23.-Hinton was Wis
tied tonight by one of the worst storms
ever known in this section of the state.

RACE TO BEAT THE TARIFF.
Two Steamers Hurrying to PhiIadeI-
phia From Java.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 23.-Two Brio
ish steamers laden with valuable car
goes of sugar are tonight scudding over
the seas toward this port as fast as their
engines can carry them, in a race against
time, tide and tariff.
There is a stake of $125,OOO at the finish
If they get within the customs district
of Philadelphia before the Dingley bill
passes the Senate tomorrow afternoon,
for by doing so they will have saved that
much money in duties on the sugar.
The vessels are the Elton, Capt. En-
wright, and the Hurworth, Capt. Marick.
Both are from Java with cargoes con-
signed here. As Gibraltar was passed July
and 6, respectively, the steamers should
have come in the Delaware capes last
night, but the recent heavy weather has
probably retarded them. To incoming YES
sells the Philadelphia customs district be-
gins at Marcus Hook, Pa, and to-day
three tugs went down the river to pull
the steamers over the line before the bill
becomes law. Every effort will be made
to make better time than the United
States Senate has been making and the
postponement of the vote on the bill un-
til o clock tomorrow afternoon has slim
ulated hope of landing the stake.
Substantial rewards await the captains
of the ships if they beat the bill.

New York, July 23.-According to reports
circulated around the custom house to-

week an exciting race across the Atlantic.
Fully a dozen huge liners and freighters
have been STRIVING to make port before the
tariff bill becomes q laW.
The rushing in of goods at the time of
the retroactive clause scare is nothing
compared with the present attempt TO seize
the benefit of the low rates of the Wilson
bill while there is yet time. Large sums
are at stake, according to gossip, upon
the time of arrival OF the Paris from
Southampton and the Umbria from Liv-
erpool. They are due this week with vast
cargoes of wool, and as the staple Is row
free, If they get in before the tariff takes
effect 1t will mean saving of Sl,000OOO
In duties to the importers.
