Lincinnatl, O., June 6. - The hot wave that has worried CfnctnnaU for the last week was brolcen yesterday by the fiercest storm of the year. A hurricane accompanied the storm, which cüd great destruction in many parts of the city. Houses were unroofed, trees snapped before the blast, and fences were torn down and glass Windows were blown in all over the city. The storm lasted only an hour, and in that time seventy-eight one-hundredths of an inch of rain feil, and the mercury cïropped from 92 degrees to 72 degrees. No fatalities are reported in the city. On the river the wind nearly caused a panic on the Coney Island steamer Bostona. The steamer Scotia was blown up the river for a mile, and then ran ashore during the gale. No one was injured. Rochelle Rockaway, aged 9, ran into the Central Pólice Station to get out of the rain. Just as she crossed the threshold the heavy door slammed and the knob struck her on the forehead, knocking her senseless and cutting a long gash in her forehead. Several houses and barns in Avondale were unroofed. Llghtning struck a residence and set fire to the kitchen, while -ther portions of the roof of the house wore blown in every direction.
