PITTSBURG, July 1s.-Terrific rain and
wind storms swept over Indiana and Ohio
last night and this morning. carrying down
the telegraph wires of the Pennsylvania
lines on the west branches and number of
side branches. The wind is reported to have
attained such a velocity at some places
along the line that telegraph poles were
lifted out of the ground and twisted into
all sorts of shapes. The Western Union
Telegraph Company wires along the road
are also down. This afternoon only one
wire was working on the Fort Wayne road
between Pittsburg and Fort Wayne, Ind,
and communication could be had with Chi
cago over a single wire only. Every wire
is down on the road between Mansfield
and Toledo and no wires are working on the
Cleveland & Pittsburg road between these
