TREMENDOUS DISASTER IN INDIANA.

Crawfordsville and Vicinity Struck

Especially Hard.

Muncie, Ind., July 28. — Special Telegram. — A windstorm, with heavy rain, passed over Delaware County this morning at 5 o'clock, and much damage was done. A half dozen houses and barns were struck by lightning, but no one was injured. The Hemingway [sic] Hemingray glass factory was damaged nearly $1,000, and the C. Hoover [sic] C. H. Over window-glass works were also damaged. White River, which was out of its banks Saturday and Sunday, rose six feet in as many hours, and tonight is still rising. Thousands of bushels of oats are under water, and one-half of the big potato crop is ruined.
