When it is considered that an inch of
rainfall means a severe storm, one can
imagine what flood we had in this
section last July, also last week Tues
day and Wednesday when nearly six

was an electrical storm and the sharp
chain-lightning and loud reverbera-
tions Of the thunder kept everybody in
a nervous state all the time, night and
day, during the progress of the storm
The atmosphere was highly charged
with electricity, and many buildings
were struck and damaged and several
people injured, but none fatally. While
it rained hard on Tuesday night, it re-
manned for Wednesday to break the
record. All day it was so dark that it
was necessary to have lights burning to
enable one to do any work, or by which
to read. Everybody was awakened at
6 o'clock A. NJ. by one of the sharpest
reports of thunder heard for many a
day. The first part of it sounded just
like the report of gun; it shook the
whole city and put out many electric
lights burning at that hour, and also
burned off the fuse connection in many
that were not lighted it also knocked
out many telephone instruments. These
were little side issues, for the bolt got

another struck in the middle of the

For the telepone companies this was
the worst storm ever known in this
city. The Night operator in the Office
of the Wausau Telephone Company
says that early Wednesday morning
there was a bolt came in over the lines
which made noise in the Office like
the report of a gun, and fire shot out all
over the switch board 1t seemed to
her that the whole Office wss on fire.
This burned out 100 spools in the switch
board and it also burned out many
telephones in the city The burning
out of the spools in the switchboard
makes it impossible for one connected
with the spools so harmed out to call up
the central office. Hence it has leen
a great deal OF trouble and men have
been at work throughout the city ever
since, getting telephones in order. The

and rough experience while returning to

men stopping his horse. One of the men
held on to the horse 8 head, and the other
man grabbed Mr.. Corrden and at the same
time demanded money. Mr.. Corriden
vigorously fought the negro. The negro
attempted 20 use a knife or razor, and Cor
riden had his coat cut across the arm, Just
above the elbow, and also over the left
breast near his heart. All the time the
horse kept plunging, and finally released
itself fiom the negro's hold and started
down the road in frightened condition.
Mr.. Corri2en afte. getting the animal
under control, drove to Bacon Hill tower,
and reported the affair.

MARKET REPORTS,
NEW YORK STOCK MARKE;.
The Features Of The Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks.

New York. July 1.-THE depression
caused on foreign exchanges by the sin
lister reports from China had no effect in
the local market and indeed did not hurt
the American securities in the foreign
markets. The movement in Union Pacific
was the handspring of this market all
day. and Baltimore & Ohio was also an
active feature. The movement in these
stocks was primarily based on the esti-
mates for the years earnings now made
up. Another potent influence in the mar
ket was the copious downfall of rains in
the corn belt The amount of speculation
which has been based on supposed dam
age to the corn crop was made obvious
by the violent break in the price of that
cereal and the rapid advance in the
stocks of the corn-carrying railroads An
early advance in Sugar was due to the
rise in the price of the refined product.
and there was some late strength in the
steel stocks on reports of new orders be
ing placed for iron products. The bond
market continued dull and prices moved
both ways. Total sales. par value, $780,

fighting at Tien Tsin. July }. when the
town was still in possession of the allies.
According to the cable, there are 1000
Japanese troops at Tien Tsn. More than
half the allied troops in the attack on
Tien Tsin on the 18th therefore probably
We're japanese. The cable is as follows:
ION the Sd instant, a large body of
Chinese soldiers appeared before Ten
Tsin and attacked the northern part of
the settlement. which was guarded by
the Russian troops. The japanese sent
to their aid. at the Russian generals re-
quest, one battery of artillery and two
compa of infantry. After a heavy
cannonade, they silenced the Chinese
guns and finally repulsed the enemy. The
Japanese losses in this engagement were
two captains killed ana about 30 nom
commissioned officers and men killed or
wounded. Major General Fukushima has
now under him at 1ien Tsin about 1000

DEMAND FOR VENGEANCE
For Fatalities in the 9th Prevails in Washing.
ion Departments.

Washington. July ia degree of eN-
element reminiscent of the days OF
the Spanish war prevailed at the state
war and navy departments, today
Early in the day. came Admiral Rem
eys dispatch conveying the i'll tidinSs
from Tien Tsin and for 4 time this OBJ
scured the Pekin situation. The 9Th
Infantry is one of the crack regiments
in the world and the terrible story of
fatality in its ranks aroused a spirit
Of fierce Indignation and a demand for
vengeance among the officials of the
army and navy here. that could not be
represSed.
There was a disposition at first in the
war department to pluck some hope
from Admiral Remey's statement that
the death of Liscum. and. in fact, the
whole fight at Tien TSin was nothing
more than a report" This hope was
dashed by the receipt of the stirring;
dispatch from the correspondent of The
Associated Press written directly on
the battlefield and in a place where
the facts must have come under his
eye.
Thereupon Secretary Hay called a
special cabinet meeting to discuss the
situation. He was only able to gather
UP four members, but fortunately these
included Secretaries Long and Root
At the conclusion Of the cabinet
council it was stated that no line of
action had been determined upon; that
the meeting was not called 10 formu-
late any plan. but simply to talk over
the situation. 1t is thought that a
communication was drafted for trans
mission to the President at Canton.
After the meeting Secretary Root i'm
mediately went into consultation with
Adiutant General Corbin. He refused
to discuss the situation.
The council lasted for some time and
the situation was thoroughly discussed.
In all probability the President will
come here within the next two or three
days to remain a day or two. There is
reason to believe that 5000 or 10000
troops will be gotten together as rapid
ly as possible and hurried 10 China.
Some of these probably will be taken
from Cuba. If the situation requires
more men Congress will have to be
called together to provide for them.

THE AMERICAN ATHLETES
Have Won 16 OF the Fl Events Decided at

Paris. July 16.-Twenty-one cham
pionship contests in connection with
the Exposition have been decided dur
ing the last three days; and America
can boast of winning 10 and of secur-
ing - seconds and l. thirds.
Nine events took place. today. in
which the Americans placed six first,
six seconds and seven thirds to their
credit. They captured the 200-metres
hurdle race; the standing high jump:
the three standing jumps; the long
jump; the hop, step and jump; the
hammer throwing: and the standing long
jump. and they did it easily. In fact,
the facility with which the American
athletes carried off prizes finally grew
monotonous. Three events were won
by foreigners. One. the tug of war.

result was somewhat of a disappoint-
ment to the spectators. They had
hoped TO see Orion repeat his perform
ance of yesterday. Rimmer. an Eng
lishman, took the lead at the outset
and was never passed. McClain ran in
close for two-thirds of the course
while Orion and Grant brought up the
rear. Although Orion ran gamely, he
was unable to secure better place at
the finish than the fifth. Runners
time was half minute better than the
French record over the same course.
The Americans had the hammer
throwing contest to themselves, their
two Swedish rivals being utterly out
classed. Flanagan was heartily cheer
ed on his longest throw, 167 feet, Az

sity of Pennsylvania, was second with
