(. 4 ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE’ CROPS—THE WHEAT OROP FIFTY PER CENT BELOW THE AVERAGE. ee CINCINNATI, August 5, 1875. It is difficult at this time to form more than a rough estimate of the damuge done to the crops by the rains and overflow in tue Ohio Valley, but itis believed thatit will be quite heavy. The wheat crop has suffered by the cold weather in the spring, and half of what was planted was winter killed, Of the remaimder it is believed that one-third is hopelessly lost and the remaining two-thirds partially damaged, tnough it is be- Meved the damage will be much less than 1s gener- ally expected. The acreage of wheat sown was larger than that of last year and the reiative yield, compared with last year, will be fifty per cent less, The chief damage to corn is in the river bottoms, where the crop isa total loss. That lanted on high ground bas suffered princtpally from being broken down, The acreage was much larger thon last year, did the prospects beiore the flood wete favorable for an unusually heavy crop. It is now tuought that there will be @ fair average crop, net much, if any, less than last yesr. Much depends, however, upon favorable weather for the remainder of the season, The oat crop has suffered more severely than either wheat or corn, lari been beaten flat and so Becly Cannes that it will be impossible to harvest it. Tue percentage saved will be very small, Barley suffered severely trom the cold weather, and but little was growing. Of this grain the quantity saved in a condition for malting wili be comparatively insignificant. Bay" promises & partial crop, but of inferior quality, should {gyorabie weather follow. Much haw been left out unqut and was rendered neariy Wor'‘hiess by the rains. The Ohfo River is reported as having risen fifty? ive feet and is stili rising to-night, but will be on the decline to-morrow. ESTIMATES OF DAMaGH TO THE CROPS IN VARIOUS COUNTIES. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August 5, 1875. No very reliable estimate of the aggregate loss to the wheat, corn and other crops in the State can be made at present. In some sections the estimatec damage ts fifty percent, in others a much greater percentage and in many localities the entire crop is destroyed. From the most re- liable information the loss in the central and southern portion of the State will aggregate flity to sixty per cent of the entire crop. In the low- lands along the Wabash River it has been estimated that 200,000 A tirely destroyed by the Mood, which alone, at $15 per acre, Would aggregate $3,000,000, LaFaystre, Ind., August 5, 1875.

As the havoc and carnage of a battle can never be jully ascertained until the smoke of the con- fliet has biown from the fleia, so the dire effects of Wednesday’s storm could not be estimated until day-dawn of yesterday. Early yesterday morning the rain came down as if it intended to make one fierce effort and then pass away, leay- ing the sun master fora time. 1t came down in dashes alter each peal of thunder, and the city was brilliantly t!uminated for many seconds by continuous flashes of lightning. A pecultarity of the storm was the fact that, notwithstanding its apparent severity, not quite one-eighth of an inch | of rain fell, and the wind did not biow at any one | time faster than five miles an hour. It wag cloudy and there was a dense fog. It | was explained at the Signal Service Bureau sta- tions in this city that the air was so fuil of mois- ture that it served as an excellent conductor of the lightning to and from the earth, and the cool breeze from the Alleghanies precipitated the rain trom the overcharged air, ‘ AFTER THE STORM. Though the floods, irom the condition of the me- tropolis, could not bave created eltuer the confu - sion or damage that tney are said to have Wrought among the tumber and coal producing sections of Pennsylvania, stHl Many Of the avenues slying within the upper boundaries of the city wefe se- riously aflected—indeed, tv an extent sure to re- sult In considerable pecuniary loss. Ever since the press began an investigation of the condition of the Hariem flats it bas been a growing conviction that the sewers along many of our leading avenues were in an exceedingly bad condition, A thunder shower of no greater vehemence than 18 Itkely to visit the city at any time during the summer months was of itseif suMctent to flood Third avenue trom Fortieth to | MORNING, AT HALF-PA system of sewerage no such accumulation of water woulda have been possible, ior the condi- tions of the locality were no more calculated to same thoroughfare. AS was the case the ouner day, Third avenue, fn the neighborhood of Forty-frst street, was iiter- ally fooded, and the water which the sewers should have carried riverward was dammed up at | the sewer mouths and raised over the sidewalk and deluged a great mMiany cellars. Pedestrians, in numerous instances, unabie to pass along, were compelied to seek shelter in stores, saioons, private houses, and, mM fact, ali the places that aflorded them temporary refugé from tne floods. The sunken lots lying along Fourth avenue in the neighbornood of wixty-sixth street were flied before the heavy storm of yesterday—some times, Without the sligntest exaggeration, to the depth of jour feet. After the rain last evening they re- sembied a series of lakes, the stree!s iatersecting toem looking not very unlike pontoon bridges, ‘There Was a rush of water down tne guileys, and here, roo, the sewers were faulty, and the sidewalk in many lostances wholly concealed from view. could have becu heid’on the Harlem y-elghth street and Third avenue. could not be seen; the water lying on them Was at least four feet deep, Here this water will lie day after day, becoming fout almost the mo- ment It falis, and growing more and more 80 as it is gradually dried up by the sun. The peaestrian, 20 matter in what section of the city he may have been at tue time ot Wednes- day's leavy rain, must have noticed that the sidewalks were sc deluged. DAMAGE ALONG THIRD AVENUE. This long streteh o! straight road presented a Strange and curious sight yesterday morning. Seventy-sixth street, between Second and Third avenues, was completely hidden trom view by water, and on Etghty-second street the yoys had miniature yacnt race, Which Was Witnessed by quite a large assemblage of littie folk, with no small degree of enthusiasm. All the vacant lots and the greater part of the cellars up town are completely fooded, On Fourth avenue, in the vicinity of Sixtieta and adjacent streets, the scene is simply a barren waste, while on Second ana Third avenues, beyond Ninety-fith 10 105th street, there is scarcely a speck of land to rest the eyes upon, The flats are still reeking with filtm, and the noxious gases, despite she Tain, still emit thelr pestileatial odors.

Edward Hudson, aged twenty-flye years, clerk avenue, Was shot three times this evening witha revolver by Owen McKeyver, and will probably die. He was alone in the store when McKeyver came in and fired the’first shot. Two other shots were fired, one through the door ana the other through the window after McKeyver went out. By this time & number of people had gathered and an attempt was made to disarm the murderer, when he fired again, the ball entering the body of Edward McUarron just be- low the heart, inflicting a wound not nece: ily fatal. McKeyver, who was then arresved, an Irishman, about fitty years of age, generally em- ployed as a laborer in the Chemical Works, and Fil probably prove to be insane. He bas been acting strangely for some time, and now say: attempts have been made to kill nim. There are no indications of any quarrel between him and his first victim, whoy however, is unable to give any account of the shocking afteir. AN ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAINS. Boston, August 5, 1875. Two unsuccessful attempts were mace last night to wreck trains on the Kastern Railroad. The Bangor express train was passing through Wen- ham shortly before nine o'clock at fll speed, ara when about forty rods beyond the passenger Station the engine struck a pile of throwing them high int) the air and snivering them into fragments, but causing no dam C 0 the train, except smashing the headliaht o! 6 locomoyve, The train hands removed tue débria fowit the track, and the trai continued on its way. Directly following the express train came a freight train, Which aiso met with an obstruction of sieepers on the track. The obstruction was discovered in time to prevent a coliision, These Btiempts are credited to tramps, Boston, Mass,, August 5, 1875, State Detective Pimkham arrived here to-day having i custody William @.
