he scope OF the storm which has ragged
with remlttent violence for the past three days
has embraced the territory between Lake
Erie and the Atlantic coast, including the
State of Virginia as Its southern limit. In
the ordinary parlancc Of the day, 1t was a
"Northcastcr," although Its course was from
the North to the Southeast. The Weather
Bureau, with accustomed reliability, pre-
dlctad 1t as probable to occur In the form of
local storms; but did not foresce the unex-
pected aggregation Of local atmospherical
disturbances which combined to make
II the most prominent of the
year. The damage to railroads, to the farm
crs, TO the river men and to property In gem
eral Is incalcuablc, but does not arise so much
from instant results as from conse quences
yet To follow. Fortunately Washington and
Its immediate vicinity escaped with slight In
Jury, but the effects as described In our news
columns this morning indicate our railway con-
nCctons are seriously disarranged 1t seems
that the rains swclled the volume OF water In
the small runs and creeks to such tremendous
force as to carry away bridges and culysrtr,
and to submcrge the tracks OF the roads
leading into the city, Land slides and the
evident from this that the ground Is thor
oughly saturated with water, rendering IL
impossible to run trains safely without ex-
traordlnary precaution against accident. The
Baltimore and Ohio road has suffered more
than any other, but, with characteristic en-
ergy, repairs have been so promptly made
that travel over II will be resumed to-day
without interruption.
The scientists, who study these matters,
predict that this storm will probably neutral

season, and that tho cheated term" will con-

that the cold air of the North wind, breeding

could not have their minds read, Mr.. Kelly
called upon the audience 10 form commit
tee to oversee the various tests. This was
soon done, and Mr.. Brown was introduced TO
the audience.
The iirst test was that Of finding an article
hid outside Of the room. A gentleman
known TO the committee announced that he
had secrcted an object, and he was imme-
diately introduced TO Mr.. Brown. The latter
took bis left hand In his own and placed his
right hand on the geutlemans forehead, let
ting 1t rest there for few moments; then he
took the gentlcman's right hand and held II
to his own forehead. Fausing but for mo-
ment, he shot rapidly with the tester towards
the back door Of the church. After few
moments suspense the audience were pleased
TO see the gentleman return, his face radiant
with smiles, and twirling q small locket In
his hand. This he had hid In the basement
Of the church, and to II the blindfoldod Brown
led him quite rs straight as, and perhaps n
little faster thar, he could have wished to the
hidden object. Then he led q gentleman to
the tip Of a chandelier Of which he was think
ing, found n silver quarter hid under table,
| discovered knife In a gentlcman's hat, a
small piece OF paper under pin-cushion, and
| wound up the FIRST series Of tests by pulling a
watch-kcy out Of the testers mouth. All Of
and that partially so, aud as the young fellow
succeeded In winning each Of the games Of
hide-and-scck, the audience greeted him with
applause.
| During the evening many gentlemen asked
Mr.. Kelly questions regarding the powers OF
tho performer, which were all answered very
readily and In aanner which fully satisfied
the audience. Aftcr q rest, during which
Mr.. Kelly interested the audience with q
short dissertation, Mr. Brown spelled out,
upon an alphabet placed against tile wall, the
names Of places In the minds Of two gentle
men, one Of tho trials, however, being rather
u failure, but quite set off by his spelling out
the outlandish word "Barambole,' a town In

mind reader was the locating Of apaln In .
