WHEELING, w. Va, March 27.-The
most severe hail storm known since
1865, occurred about two o'clock to-day.
1t was short, but severe. Hailstones
many of them az large as walnuts tell
with incredible force and rapid:ty. A
brisk breeze blew from the west, and
the hail pelted exposed sides OF build
ings like rifie'balls.
The State House, United States Gus
tom house. Female college, Linsley In
stitute, the large hotels and factories,
and all the ward school buildings, with
the business houses anG dwellings hav-
ing frontag, on the west, had the win
dows riddled. Hotb Ids, greenhouses
and skylights gave way like eggshells,
any many valuable plants were de-
stroyed.
The storm reached from fivs miles
west to five miles east of the city, and
from short distance below the town
to the north, and the damage at the
lowest calculation will reach $4,000.
Persons exposed and unable to reach
shelter were badly bruised about the
head, aud horses in many inst nces De
came frantic ana nan away.
The street-cars and railroad coaches
u suffered mUre or loss damage to the
Windows. A heavy rail followed,

BY EARL MARBLE.

An hour we'd spent In rambli az through
The AtheL 10 ans halls,
And gazing at the pictures far
That hung upon The walls.
Sweet dreams of love and beauty far
Away drove all our cares;
And then We bllthsly went our way
Adown tho winding stairs.
The echoes from our footsteps rang
Through silence else 80 chaste;
For none In sight of hearing were;
Aud then around your waist
| stole my arm and pressed you close,
AS lover only dSres,
And while you marvelied ut my act,
kis led you on tho stairs.
How rosy rcd your sweet face grew,
yet recall fuil well,
And how you look ed to see that none
Had spied US, calling Nell.
All sweeG the memory VI that day
took you unawareS,
Close Gas, ed you to my throbbing breast,
kissed you on the stairs.
And we'll | too remember. Nell,
How, seeing none were nigh.
Again you let me press you close,
and smOthered nal. n sigh,
which waked IN omOfy IN my heart
Of half remembered airs;
4 MI rs my pressure You returned,
You kissed me On the stairs.
How dear that moments transport sweet,
ctiIl to my memory cltuss,
And ~ my Iollging, lOnes One heart
A love song ever siIgs
Forgotten wera the pictures zen,
FOrgutteu all .. r cares,
AS kissed you, my da' ling and
