DESTRUCTION OF WLOra-U'l*

Several TJonses ^truclv by Iiiglituing and

J'jri)"is]y

Jtamnged—Tel«»gi-iipli and Tele

phone AVir« Prostrated The Storm General Thro ughout Illinois and Southern WiM.oiiJiin. CincAOO, July 8.—One of the. most furiuns vi iiul and rainstorms known in this viciniry for years passed over the ciiy about o'clock yesterday evening, cnjaing from the northwest. The day had been intensely hot, and many people wore out on the lake in sailboats, and as the storm came very suddenly it i.s feared several lives were lost.

The different life-saving crews were kept busy tracing rumors of capsized boats, people clinging to planks, etc., and brought in the occupants of three capsized boats, all in a very exhausted condition.

Tho police at the Cottage Grove avenue station on the South Side, claim that they distinctly saw a sailboat with three occupants disappear during the height of the gale, and that nothing was seen of it again. The lifesavers from the South Side cruised about that locality for some time, but found no trace of a wreck.

Up to within 20 minutes of the descent of the storm upon the city the sky had been clear and the sun shining brightly. Suddenly heavy black clouds began to gather in the northwest, and a lew minutes later a terrific gale of wind accompanied by a perfect liood of rain and furious thunder and lightiling was sweeping over the city. Shade trues were broken olf close to the ground, awnings, signs, etc., torn away and uracil minor damage done in the city proper. 'j.JiO Mind moderated after about half an iiuar, but the fnnons rain continued for fully two hours during which time tii.i streets were running with water. Tho parks had boon crowded all uay with people seeking relief from the id most inu.uerable heat, and when too storm began there was a stampede for tiu.' various elevated and cable lines.

I ho jA^p.e in tho boats which were blown cut into the lake by the hurricane report having had an awful experience. So fur four fatalities occurred U3 follows:

John Ross, capsized near outer breakwater.

Three unknown persons supposed to have been drowned by capping of small unknown yacht olf Twenty-ninth street. iUair,- cellars were flooded \11 over the city, and in suine instances fire engines had to be called for to pump out scores.

Several houses in the outlying districts of the city were struck by lightlung and seriously damaged. Two small resiliences wore completely destroyed, hut no one injured. The pecuniary loss i:i cases was small. the height of the storm a signal tower beside tho Panhandle tracks at Ana street w.s blown over, and the toweiman, August Loedlow, sustained fatal injuries. Several other people were painfully cut and bruised by flying deor.s.

The damage to telegraph and teleph ne wires nurtliwe.se of tne city was very great. Every telegraph wire was prostrated, many poles being carried away, ana it was it) o'clock before teiegr.ip.iie communication was restored to Milv,r :.ukee.

The losses in the down town districts alone will aggregate a large sum. Tho great department store of Rothschild & (Jo tap. my occupying nearly threefour! hi of square and fronting on fctao.: s:reel, suffered most, nearly a.x the phueglass windows on the citato street side being blown in and goods in tho windows and for some distance back bauly damaged by the hood of rain.

Several persons who happened to be passing tho store, at the rime received paiuuil injuries from bits of flying glass, pieces of ilagstail's from the roof, etc. Plateglass windows were also blown in in several other large downtown stores.

Dispatches from many points in the central and nortnern portions'of Illinois and southern Wisconsin tell of furious storms yesterday afternoon and evening, though in no place did the damage reach so high a point as in Chicago.

which opens here Wednets-

day have now practically completed their work and are reauy to receive the delegates as they arrive. These arrangements have been most thorough, profiting by all the lessons taught by previous conventions. Neither time nor pains has boon spared in perfecting them, and the committee announces that 6-5,000 persons can be provided for Yfithou? confusion or discomfort.

Two large tents, 2S4 by ISO feet, with a seating capacity of 8,000 each, have been pitched on Boston commons I and are ready for occupancy. These touts, together with the Mechanics' I building, w.il be ,the principal meeting pl:n-e» during the'week, altliough services will be held daily in many churches in the city. During the noon hour, 12.5 companies of Christian Endeavors will daily visit tne large manufacturing linns, dry goods houses and places of business and hold services there with the employes.

One of the most difficult problems confronting the committee has been how to feed the multitude that is expected to be present during the convention in the shor. time between the sessions. This has been solved by turning machinery hall in Mechanics' building into a mammoth restaurant, with a seating capacity of 2,800, where every-

FINISH FIGHT.

Uanny Jvnocks Out Tom Casey in Four Hounds. St. Louts, July 8.—In spite of the vigilance of the police who tried to prevent it a good crowd went down the river a few miles on a barge to see the linish fight between Tom Casey and Danny Is'eedliam for a purse of $500. Two clever 4-round contests between local pugilists opened the proceedings.

In the chief event Needham landed on Casey's nose in the iirst round and nearly put him out. In the second the tables were turned and Casey landed a good one on Needham's jaw that made matters look dubious. The third round was uneventful, but in the fourth after a sharp exchange Needham caught Casey on the point of the chin and he fell like an ox and remained until time was called.

Jtlissed the Object She Shot At. WrLKK.sBAKKK, Pa., Jiily 8.—A sad tragedy took place at Pittston yesterday. Miss Kate Connell, aged 24, found a revolver in her brother's pocket. It contained two cartridges. She hoisted the window and began firing at some sparrows. One of the bullets struck Mrs. C. Kelly, an aged woman, who was in the yard at the time. Death resulted almost instantly. Miss Council gave herself up, aud was committed to 'jail. It is feared that she will lose her mmd over the occurrence.

Lincoln re-entered the lav/ practice, after the long hiatus cf rest, with renewed vigov. He permitted tho memory of his engagement with Mary Todd to trouble him no longer. Their paths had diverged, the pain of the separation was over, and the whole thing was a history of the past. And so it might ever have remained but for the intervention of a very shrewd and sagacious lady—one who was capable of achieving success anywhere in tho ranks of diplomacy. This lady was the wife of Simeon Francis, the editor of the Sangamon Journal. She was a warm friend of Mary Todfl and a leader in society. Pier husband was warmly attached to Lincoln. He ran the Whig organ and entertained

It happened that the financial resources of tho state, owing to the collapse of the great internal improvement system, were exceedingly limited, and people were growing restless under what they deemed excessive taxation. The state officers were all Democrats, and during the summer they issued an order declining to receive any more stato bank notes or bills in payment of taxes. This made the taxpayer's burdens greater than ever, as much of this paper remained outstanding in the hands of the people. The order met with opposition from every quarter, tho Whigs of course losing no opportunity tp make it as odious as possible. .$•4 It was perfectly natural, therefore, that such an ardent Whig as Lincoln should join in the popular denunciation. Through the columns of the Springfield

Journal, of which he had tho undisputed use, he determined to encourage the opposition by the use of his pen. No object seemed to merit 111 caricature than the of 1 ho auditor ox s:t°" coin vv-.s en"5."'' dor the ,1'-'
