The path of the storm through tho country has been marked by tho destruction of corn and the demolition of grain In stack. There was very little rain, and the damage was wholly by wind

^LIABILITIES OF $f,000,000.

Failure of the Ma.onto Savlugii Hank or I-oulNVlUe— I)e|»oHlturs Secure. LOUISVII.I.K, Ky., Aug. 10. -The Masonic savings bank, the second to fail in Louisville within a month, assigned to the Germanic Safety Vault & Trust Company at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The failure occasioned no surprise in business circles, as the bank has been looked upon as on the verge of bankruptcy for some months. The bank owed 8132,500 when the balances were made out with the clearing house at noon, which it was unable to pay. There have been three runs on the bank, tho first in January last, tho second following tho Schwartz, failure, the third following tho failure of the Falls City bank. Friday a meeting of the directors was called to devise means for meeting the present difficulties and keeping the doors open. After considerable discussion the hopelessness of the situation was apparent, and it was decided to assign. Accordingly a deed of assignment was made and T. W. Spindle, the vice president and manager of the trust company, was sent for. lie took possession at once. President Jake Kriegcr, the directors, and Mr. Engelhoff, the cashier, say that depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. What the loss of the stockholders will be is not even indicated, but it is not thought that they will suffer any such losses as in tho case of the Falls City failure. The failure is indirectly attributed to the building of the Jeffersonville bridge. Mr. Kreiger, the president of the bank, Is also the chief promoter of the bridge, and was at one time president of the Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge Company. The public got the idea that the bank was carrying the bridge company, and this was the origin of the bank's troubles. It is said, however, that the bridge company lias never been indebted to the bank for more than S50.000 and tkat this did not cripple the financial institution. The cxaet liabilities are unknown but it js said will be more than 81,000,000. No other banks are in danger.

With these men he got to drinking and finally, at his Invitation, they, too, entered the boat, muklng nine in all, and the boat was slowly pushed before the light easterly breeze. When It became necessary to come about at the pumping station at 4 o'clock p. m. tlio men, being befuddled, crowded over to tho lco side of the bout, which capsized. The water at this point is not very deep and tho mast of the boat projected out some distance. To this all hands clung.

Burk and the remainder of the family perished.

Details of an Earthquake anil Tidal Wave In Mexico. YAMA, A.T.,Aug. 10.—CocopaliSmith, an American trapper, accompanicd by Gardner, a hunter, and Esplto, a Cocopali Indian, have returned from the gulf of California and give additional details concerning the earthquake and tidal wave of Thursday last About 0 o'clock that morning a hihvy shock struck the country afcout ft miles below Lerdo, a colony in the state of Sonora, Mexico, on the Colorado river. The sky darkened and a thunderstorm arose, accompanicd by great flashes of lightning. The river rose as a hugo wave from the gulf, and corrals, fences and landing places were washed away by the rushing waters. The shaking of the ground increased and the crackling, grinding noise of the crumbling hills was intensified. A second shock caused the earth to open in many places, some fissures being from 4 to 7 feet wide and from 20 to HO feet long and seemingly fnthomlcss. The men were thrown to the ground by the force of this shock. About a mile from Lerdo they noticed a fissure in the middle of tho river bed into which the Colorado was pouring with much noise. A third shock of earthquake destroyed three small habitations of colonists and cracked the remaining ones. No human beings were lost but a large amount of live stock was killed.

EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

Orasihoppers CuiiKlni Creat Lous to Ohio Farmers. FINDLAV, O., Aug. 10.—The grasshoppers are doing more harm In this part of the state than they were known to before for years. I many parts of tho country they swarm in myriads nnd literally devour everything before them, causing serious damage to all growing crops. Reports from different sections state that they have eaten up and entirely destroyed the clover seed crop and are foraging on the pastures to such an extent as to make the feed problem for tho stock a serious one to the farmers. They are also causing serious annoyance in the wheat fields, where they gather in such great numbers they actually cut the twine that binds the sheaves and cause the shocks to fall in confusion. makingit dilllcultto handle. They arc invading the cornfields and eating tho leaves off the stocks and husks from the ears. New turnips nre disappearing und the hoppers are turning their attention to young fruit trees und arc rapidly stripping them of their leaves. Serious losses have resulted to farmers in this and adjoining counties.

A BANDIT'S BULLETS.

They Striko Down Three ResU donts of an Ohio Town.

A third man sat in the lobby of the bank paralyzed with fear. He was not molested. The desperado then grabbed S1.300 in greenbacks, shoved them in the pockets oi his sack coat and darted out the door shouting: "I'm a second Jesse James." Quite a crowd had been attracted by the sound of the shots, but there was a scattering when the wildeyed murderer appeared on tho street, having a gun in cither hand and shooting indiscriminately. Ono of tho bystanders, Henry Buck, failed to got out of the way fast enough and was struck down by a bullet from the rapidly-speaking revolvers. The fellowran to the outskirts of the town and disappeared in a big corn field.

Tho desperado is described as Vicing short and heavy set, with full face and small black mustache. He wore a black alpaca cup, black sack coat, blue pants with white stripe, and no vest lie appeared to be about 30 or 35 years old.

A posse was quickly organized nnd started in pursuit. If found, tho fellow will be shot down liko a dog. It is thought the wounds of Maple and lluck are not necessarily fatal. Van Debark, who was killed, was a prosperous former in Union township, lie loaves a large family. A big reward is offered for tho capture of the villain.

A special froin Lima, O., states that tho murderer has been traced to a thick forest near Ada, and may be captured very soon. There is an idea that he has already been able to get near enough to a railroad to escape. It Is believed that ho is one of the Marvin Kuhns gang.

HOTTEST OF THE SEASON.

How tho Thermometer 8tood at Many riaces—Crops In Dauber. ST. PAUL. Minn., Aug. 10.—The last few days have been the hottest experienced in Minnesota and the Dakotas since August, 1880. Tho thermometer has registered from 88 to 08 degrees in the shade in Minnesota and hits run up from 105 to 111 In the Dakotas. In North Dakota there Is groat alarm about tho crop of hard wheat, which cannot be harvested for two weeks. The dreaded hot winds that have shriveled up the entire northwestern crop for tho last two years were felt there. The heated wavo has prevailed over tho enti'o •tuto of North Dakota as far as heard from, and Is also reported as being felt to an cquul extent in South Dakota. The fears arc that the too rapid ripening aiul consequent shrinking of the berry v. ili be sufficient to make tho entire yield an off grade, If nothing worse happens to It Tho crop is in critical stati, and much anxiety is manifested as to the outcome. Up to three days ago no more favorable conditions could huvu prevailed, but the unexpected hot winds have upset all calculations.

ST. LAWHENCE, S.

Late wheat suffered terribly, and some fields will not bo cut Other wheat is all right Much of it is ulrcady stacked. Corn is suffering for rain. Unless showers come soon or a cool wavo coincs but little will survive the ordeal. Prairie grass In some places is dry enough to burn. Some prairie Arcs have already been reported
