The Most Severe and Destructive Storm
Experienced ut WnshIngtOn Ia Recent
Years.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The storm Of
last night was most destructive. City
Hall, B. 90. depot, Masonic Temple,
franklin and Wabash school buildings,
Saint Aloisus and Trinity Church and the
Pension Office were badly damaged and
over one hundred private residences un.
rooted. In some cases the roofs were
lifted of and dashed against the houses
on the opposite side OF the street, smash.
ing the glass and breaking In the fronts
OF the houses. In other cases parts
Of walls were blown down. Much dam.
age was done to carpets aud furniture 10
the unroofed houses by the rain, which
poured down In torrents for nearly an
hour. Twelve hundred and sixty shade
trees we're blown down and four hundred
street lamps damaged. Whilst
the storm was at its height all
the gas In the northwestern por.
tion Of the city went out, leaving
the people In total darkness. This is &C.
counted for by the gas company as follows:
Gas Ia contained in holders and tanks
which rest In water. The pressure Of the
tank forces the gas into the mains. These
tanks were lifted by the wild, relieving the
pressure on the mains. The gas was drawn
back into the holders. The supply 10 the
mains was exhausted and the gas went out.
