DESTRUCTIVE HAIL SToRM.-A dispatch from
Philadelphia states that about p. m. YESTERDAY
the most destructive hail storm ever known
there passed over the city from north west to
southeast. Fer nearly twenty minutes there
was q continuous fall of hail stones, from the
size Of pea TO six or seven inches in circum-
ference. The damage done greatly exceeds that
Of the great hail storm of September, 1865. The
greatest force Of the storm was along Broad
street and in the southern part of the city. On
the south side Of Chestnut street, above sth :,
there was hardly pane Of glass left. On Broad
street, many churches had their stained glass
windows destroyed. All the windows Of the
front of the Continental Hotel were broken.
The loss was computed by thousands Of dollars.
In the outskirts there was almost a total de-
struction of fruit trees, which were just in
bloom. AT O'Clock in the evening the hail
still renamed in the streets in piles Dispatches
from the interior state that no hail fell there,
and the storm did not extend across the Della
ware. Many Of the hotels were greatly dam
aged, especially the Bingham House, on the
corner of 1lth and Market, the windows being
shattered 10 all OF It's extensive front.

THE MCFARLAND TRIAL TODAY.

On Hand i'm EOrce-Argument Of
SrcHiSenee eeF that :se sRee's.
Of an Injured HusbaDd-The Tri.
bUne Once Implicated in the
Crime.
Telegraphed Erclusirsly to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 9.-There is an immense
crowd at the court to-day, including many
ladies. Mr.. Graham continued for the defence.
he reminded the jury that McFarlaud's pre-
yious attempts on Richardson's life should have
no weight with them, because he had not been
proved sane at the time. He also reminded the
jury OF the casual manner in which Mcfarland
met Richardson in the Tribune Office, and
alluded to special providence which seems
to direct the bullet of injured husband,
and which shows the moral justice of the c lse.
Moreover McFarland's words at the time should
not be considered, because they were clearly
the Ofspring of irenzied mind. The counsel
then reviewed the evidence of Mr.. COughlin
and Mr.. Elwood to show the deranged state of
his mind during the three days preceding the
18th of Nov. His movements then, not his words,
should guide the jury. Another point to De borne
in mind was the fact that the prosecution
had dubbed Mrs. Mcfarland with the name of
her paramour, without establishing any legal
right to that claim. Again, the prosecution
failed to show that Mrs. Mcfarland had earned
any money after separation from her husband,
and the presumption was that she was supported
all that time by Richardson. The counsel then
condemned the attempt to impeach the testi-
m0ny of Mrs. Callaghan as to the presence of
Mrs. Mcfarland in Jersey City, and maintained
Mrs. Mcfarland was then ensconced in Mrs
Gilbert's house with her paramour, and her
friends tried to keep her presence secret. Com
ing to the event itself, it will be seen that the
evidence OF the prosecution leaves the matter i'm
q very doubtful and confused state: all the
witnesses were from the Tribune ONCE, and it
was notorious that all the attaches Of that paper
were implicated IN this Free Love transaction.
In fact the Tribune Is arraigned in this Court,
and all those employed in the ofice are inter-
ested in clearing the paper from the charges
made against il. The counsel then alluded 70
the vagueness of the evidence Of the shooting
and the failure of the prosecution to show the
state of McFarlands mind on the night Of the
shooting. The prosecution also neglected
brpeiDR forward q disinterested witness who
was In the Tribune ONCE at the time OF shooting.
This is clearly disingeniousness on the part Of
the prosecution Again, interested witnesses in
the Tribune ofhee wished to have il believed
that Mcfarland was in the office fifteen min
utes, i'm order to make out that he was perfectly
sedate in his mind. The counsel after reading
some evidence argued that Mcfarland met
Richardson Immediately after he entered the
ONCE.
