Cincinnati, July sAwith 2z known dead, 10 missing and property loss that will exceed $1,000,000. Cincinnati tonight is making valiant effort to recover from probably the worst wind and rainstorm of its history.

 Boat Blown Over by Gale.
 Two steamboats had gone down in the Ohio river, one having hit brdige pier while the other was overturned by the terrific force of the gale; prob- ably hundred houses were leveled to the ground; a half dozen lofty church spires were toppel and when the full extent of the damage was ascertained late today it was found that few houses in the city had escaped some damage. Streets Blocked With Debris.
 The streets of the downtown district were strewn with electric signs and plate glass windows, while in the resi- dence section and in the suburbs even wagon and automobile traffic was made impossible by hundreds upon hundreds of trees uprooted and thrown across Ile I0OTOuRnIdIeS. HrODdDly oU cluD- houses along the Ohio river were swept into the stream and fioated away.
 Tonight finds the city with its street car service practically normal, with the exception of the Kentucky car lines. which are still out of commission. ering from the blow, while the city has done almost miraculous work in clean ing up the debris.

 six members of the crew are alive Six other members of the crew fioated sev- eral miles down the river on wreckage but managed to land and walked back to this city this afternoon. | Kentucky Side Hard Hit as We'll. The Kentucky side of the river was hit as hard as was Cincinnati itself and 1t has not recovered as quickly as the metropolis. The street car com pany has been asked to keep all of its power shut off for fear of bringing numerous dangling wires to life, while the lighting system covers such a large area that it has been impossible to re- pair it and no hope for lights until to- morrow is held out.
 The damage to Newport, Covington Bellevue, Dayton, Fort Thomas, Fort Mitchell, Latonia and Ludlow, on the Kentucky side, it is believed, will el- most enqual the amount of damage wrought in this county.
 Telegraph and railroad services have recovered and are almost normal.
