ACCIDENTS.


In addition to the accidents reported
Saturday morning, we learn that a man
named Russell, living in Bridgeport
was so terribly cut about the head and
face by the hail that his life is des,
paired of.
A Mrs. Britt, living in East Wheeling,
while attempting to shut window, cut
the artery of her arm, on the broken
glass, and nearly bled to death before
the flow of blood was stopped.
A man in the Central Glass Works
was trying to close window shutter.
The wind drove his arm on to broken
pane of glass, nearly severing the hand
from the wrist.
A lady walking along Main street,
with an umbrella over her head, was
Lifted up by the wind about as high as
the top of the awnings, letting 60 OF
her balloon, she fell to the ground and
was very seriously injured.
A little girl was carried by the rush
of water into a Mr.. Behring'S cellar, on
John street, and was with difficulty res
cued from drowning.
We have heard of several other cases
where little children, returning home
from school, were caught in the rushing
waters on the streets and narrowly es-
capped drowning.
Two gentlemen living on Middle
creek, near Triadelphia, were caught in
the storm, and one of them pounded
nearly to jelly by the hail. His life is
despaired of. The other was less in
jured.
VINEYARDS DESTROYED.
The destruction to vineyards has been
immense and in some instances COM
plete. Those least injured cannot be
made productive now in less than two
years, and in the great majority of cases
they are utterly ruined.
The magnificent vineyard under
Father Kreusch's care, on the hill above
the city, valued at $4,000, is ruined
forever. The Father had also the finest
and most extensive strawberry beds in
the country. These are all cut off close
to the ground.
Chris. Hess vineyard of about twenty
five acres is rendered worthless.
Capt. Crawford's vineyard, of about
the same extent as Hess, is broken
down and destroyed.
George Deusch, Mr.. Wilhelm and John
Archibald, all with vineyards on the
hill, have nothing to show for years Of
patient culture of their vines.
A. McSwords' vineyard, near Martins
Vile, is badly cut to pieces.
Yost and Beekly's vineyards up
Wheeling creek, some four or five miles
from Bridgeport, together with their
strawberry beds and peach orchards, are
utterly and entirely destroyed. The
loss here is not less than $4,000.
The old Steenrod estate, on the Ma
tional road, is ruined. Great logs OF
timber and huge stones were washed
down the hill and across the road, on to
the fields. The stone fence around the
place that has stood the storms of the
past fifty years was broken through in
many places, letting the food with its
accumulated wash of soil and gravel in
on the spring grain. The corn, wheat
and oats planted there have six inches
of new soil over them. Every glass in
the old mansion on the north side il
broken.

GENERAL ITEMS.

The hill above Top Mill washed down
into the building, completely filling the
rear portion with clay and gravel.
The photographers of the city have
suffered severely. Their sky.lights were
broken in and their rooms drenched
with the descending rains, destroying
their stock and furniture.
The water rushing down the steep
hill at North street flooded the first
story of a house near the First Ward
School House, and ran down the back
stairs into the basement, ruining every =
thing in the house.
The windows on the north side OF the
Court House, State House, school build
ings, Thomas Sweeney's residence on
Main street, Henry X. Lists next north
of it, and in fact all the buildings of the
city with a northern or western expos
ure have suffered.
On Main street great piles of hail still
remain. Commissioner Clark, with
large force of men, was hard at WORE
Saturday getting the city cleaned
up, removing the soil that washed down
from the bills, and removing the lumber,
logs and other distractions from the
streets. He deserves the greatest credit
for the energy he has shown in. thus
promptly tackling the huge job before

"Was poor Bob Martins wild
ow there~ asked quiet little
Meg, of Mrs. Colonel Gordon.
"I did not see her, my child,
and it was no place to look for
Bob's widow and ragged chill
dren, in all that crowd of we'll
dressed people, How they
gathered around to admire
when 1 placed that besatiful
wreath on his grave. 1t Ger,
tainly cost enough, and l am
sure that poor Bob's widow
would be grateful if she knew
what pains | took to make his
grave respectable with the
others.'' . tF ~ 10
There's no doubt about it,
for Poor Bob's widow would
have been grateful that very
moment for anything. From
the!inmost depths OF her heart
she would have been grateful
for loaf Of bread, or even for
a kind look and word. Be-
cause poor Bob's widow aoaS
poor. She was a very poor
Bob's widow indeed. All that
she owned in the world was
her rags and the two children
which Bob left with her when
he went away for a soldier
Bob fingered in the poor wo
mans memory green enough,
without flowers or wreathes to
recall him, for there were his
l'eyes and features in the little
Bob that clung to her skirts
and cried; still, she would have
been grateful to know that his
grave, Of all others, was not ne
elected, but wore as fair and
costly a wreath as bright May
flowers could weave.
1t had been Decor alton Day

host OF ladies as rich and good
as she, a week of bustling pre-
paration and excitement
There had been flowers to be
bought, and flowers to be wo
ven into wreathes, and shaped
into bouquets. There had
been evergreens to build into
arches, to decorate and to trim
There had been pretty maidens
10 array-in white robes, with
ribbons, and bows, and curls
There had been committees to
make, committees to meet, and
committees to disagree. In
fact, according to Mrs Gordon
there had been such a time
that her life was nearly wor'
ried out of her, and she was
glad to see the end of it. The
.tgraves of the soldiers had been
decorated, many hundreds Of

cemetery as if the SHOWS OF

she was alike oblivious to poor
Bob Martin and his still poorer
widow. '..7 '' ''
Mrs. Gordon seemed to dis
cover presently that she had
devoted an unusual amount OF
thought to an Indifferent sub
ject, and would have risen her
from her chair, had she not be-
come SO suddenly conscious Of
an awful presence Immediately
before her, as to set her down
with unceremonious haste, and
a very gentle scream. She did
not believe in ghosts, nor did
it present. the appearance of a
ghost, for she had the courage
to observe that there were
none of the white habiliments
of the grave. Darkness con-
cealed the face of the object,
and it was only possible for her
to distinguish the outlines of a
man, standing silent and mo.
tionless, butso very near, that
with her outstretched hand she
might haye touched the hem OF
his coat. .a. . ...
Suspense was terrible, and
Mrs. Gordon ended it by ask
ing the unexpected visitor, in
a-voice quite low and faltering,
who he was, and what did he
want9 Then it was that the
light from his two eyes beamed
forth so vividly that in it his
whole face was revealed, pale
and CHASTITY, the face of the
dead. IstDai Is',
No, Mrs. Gordon did pot be-
lieve in ghosts, but as the
light from those eyes turned
brighter, her own eyes opened

lips she gasped: raf IS. 100

~It's Bob Martin, as sure as

tones very sad and Sepulchral
| The poor frightened woman
hid her face in her hands, and
sought to shut out all sight and
knowledge of the horrid shape
but she felt its dreadful pres
ence all the more. She never
thought to fly, and if she had
her trembling limbs would
I. have betrayed, her and cas-
her on. the floor, a quiverine

hands and endeavored to stare
it out of sight but the pale
face was inmoyable, and the
dark form became more and
more distinct. Was she dream

blood flowed, and she felt that
the pain was real. There il
