TOurDamsnE.


New York, May 15.--The initial game of
the championship cushion-carom billiard
tournament was played last night at Tam
many Hall, and was long, closely contested
and exciting encounter of nerve and skill.
Both Maurice Vignaux, the French cham
pion, and Joseph Dion, the American repre-
sentative, were in good form and play, and
one of the prettiest games ever seen was the
result. The game lasted until 1905 this
morning when it was won by Dion in his
eighty-ffth inning, by a score OF 500 to
NignauXs 4S5 The winners highest run
was %, and Nignaux's Al. Tomorrow after
noon cues will be crossed by Messrs. Wallace.

Less than hundred people witnessed the
second game, this afternoon Maurice Daily
and Thomas Wallace were the contestants
The game occupied three hours and a half
mrch OF the time being wasted in disputing
decisions of the referee and wrangling over
disputed shots. Daily complained of the un-
usual heaviness OF his ball, and suggested
that 1t be weighed but this was not done A

because OF an alleged insult by DAILY during

about the same as in the afternoon, and the
large hall looked deserted The game was
not specially noteworthy. There was ar
occasional brilliant play, but kisses some
times made count when the shot seemed wide

RICHMOND, May 15.-The storm last night
proves to have been far more severe than it
was reported in last nights dispatches, and
even assumed the form of tornado in some
localities. The damage to fruit and grow
ing crops by the hail cannot be estimated,
but is considerable, yet small in comparison
to the loss on buildings and timber. At 7:3O
rumbling noise accompanied by rain and
lightning, alarmed the residents of the
southern part of this county, and almost
Immediately funnel-shaped cloud at a high
rate of speed, passed over them, tearing up
forest trees and laying buildings level with
the ground.
The first building damaged, so far
as heard from, was the dwelling of
John Plankerhorn, west of the river in
Union county. 1t was twisted from its
foundations and torn to pieces. A flash ri
lightning, following close upon the first dis
aster, descended upon his barn and set fire to
the hay in the NOW, and five head of horses,
half paralyzed by the lightning, died in the
flames. Roofs, fences, telegraph poles and
timber were swept clean as the cyclone trav-
eled up the Elkhorn. Boone Lambs
famous old bluestone dwelling lost every
thing but its walls. and Dan Hollers frame
farmhouse was dashed to pieces. Mrs
Holler and another member of the
family were struck by the flying
timbers and hurt. The Stephenson school
house, fine, brick structure, resisted
the first shock, but only stood few seconds
The walls and roof were broken, and the
wooden parts carried away Near by was
George Stephenson's beautiful country place
which was damaged to the extent of Sc. Oo0
The barns and out-buildings were either car
ried away or demolished and the roof, gahles
and chimneys on the house blown off, The
family took refuge in the cellar and came out
unhurt after the storm subsidized. Telegraph
poles were broken off square, and the maple
groves and forest groves resemble an old
csne-brake, the trees being piled up on top
OF one another thirty feet deep A dozen or
fifteen other barns and two or three houses
were unroofed.
Farm work will be impeded by the dam

ton Tue loss in the city, aside from fruit
and shade trees, will not exceed So, 900, one
half of which is on the new sewer and the
other on broken glass in the greenhouses
and skylights Several instances are reported
where horses, wagons and drivers were
picked up and dashed down again.
