Minneapolis was visited early last even
ing by storm which, while it did not
develop into a cyclone, bore many Of
the ear marks of one. Happily it finally
only resulted in one of the heaviest rains
ever seen in Minneapolis, and the conse-
quent washouts of paving, cellars and
walls in all parts of the city, flooding
sewers and doing an exceedingly large
amount of damage, particularly to the
city streets.
Lightning played a prominent part IN
the storm, and the binding flashes of
chain lightning were quite frequent, and
caused considerable trouble with cleo
trio wires. The residence of T. f. Elwell,
at 1904 futile street. was struck by a
bolt during the heaviest part of the
storm, and was almost completely de-
molished without being on fire. For
tuLately none of the family were at
home, for had they been they would
probably have been killed, as the house
was left almost in ruins.
One of the most disastrous results of
the storm occurred at the central mar
ket. Here $50 feet of a twelVe-foot stone
retaining wall, at Third avenue north
and Seventh street, was washed away,
with 200 feet of open sheds. A salesman
employed by w. H. Carr, dealer in
wholesale meats. at SO central market,
narrowly escaped with his life as the
wall was washed out.
Water nearly demolished the fire alarm
system. During the storm nearly six
feet of water ran into the basement of
Station A, of the fire department, at
Second avenue north and Second street.
where the batteries used in the system
are stored. Barrels of oil and other
property stored in the basement were
floating around in a small lake
Steamer No. was sent, and it required
an hour to pump the water entirely out
of the basement. The fire department
escaped with only two circuits burned
out.

WINONA, Mimi, June 12.-(Special.) y
Despite the efforts of the various rail-
roads, Winona is still cut off from the
outer world, and the prospects are that
1t will remain SO for the next three
days. During yesterday and last night
this city and locality were visited by a
perfect deluge of water, the resultant
floods causing damage that will reach
thousands of dollars. Not a railroad in
the county escaped, the tracks being torn
up for miles and left in such a condi-
ton that it will take days to make the
necessary repair.
By the total destruction of nearly every
public bridge in the county and city the
less will be heavy, and there is little
prospect that the full damage will be
repaired this year Not a road in the
county escaped and farmers are COM
pletely isolated.
Two persons are known to- have been
killed by the lightning, which accom-
panied the storm, while a number of
barns were struck and consumed. From
Winona to Stockton the destruction is
complete, the Southwestern, Milwaukee
and Northwestern roads suffering dam
age that VIII take weeks to fully re-
pair.
Minnesota City was almost wiped out
of existence. The damage there being
fully $4,000. At Stockton the damage is
fully as bad. Hourly reports are being
received from the interior of the county,
and the damage is appalling. A special
session of the county commissioners
will be called in order to provide means
for the erection of new bridges and the
repairing of the roads.

Viction under an Indictment which accus-

viGlng the double penalty. In passing
sentence Judge Simpson said:

crime. You have also been found guilty
Of grand larceny in the second degree.
