The curious sounds under the fall are owing to
various causes-one, the peculiar tremors or vi

ghostlike sound; then the falling of water
through certain cracks often produces musical
notes. or sounds that strike strangely upon the

4 Severe uail-StOrnn.

One Of the severest hailstorms ever witnessed
in this city fell yesterday. In some cases the
nuggets were full inch in diameter. The wind
was blowing hard, and the pellets beat down
rapidly and in great quantities, destroying
flowers, breaking window-lights and small limbs
from trees. The storm was furious for about
ten minutes, and it then ceased Shade and
fruit trees were rather badly damaged, especially
in the Northern part of the city, and the hail
stones were so large and the fall was so thick
that for quite awhile after the storm had ceased
they covered the ground, and melted away
rather slowly

TIE TELEPHONE WAR.
No Change in the Situation, but Both Sides
Claim To Be Satisfied

Tire we're no new developments yesterday
chan5ing the aspect of the situation in the tele-
phom fight. The number of instruments that
havebeen removed since the beginning Of the
trouble up to last night numbered about 215,
and 10 orders had been received that had not
beencomplied with. The officers of the com
panyclaim that they still continue to get sigma
lures to their contract and that from the
PROCESS they have made they have no
reasn to be discouraged. The managing com
mite of the patrons expect that about all the
outstanding papers which have been circulated
eor signatures, will be in their hands to-day, and
that hey vii, be able to get matters in more
definite shape, that the war on the company
can be renewed with increased vigor and aggres-
sivenes. They confidently express the opinion
that tley will succeed in forcing the company to
accede to the proposition for the withdrawal Of
the Contracts and yet the officers declare that
they c,nnet afford to withdraw from their pres
ent position. 1t is expected that the action OF
the cornell last night will have some effect IN
bringing together again the patrons and the
company for careful consideration of the ques-
tons o. difference, which possibly may result IN
o reconciliation.

the position For the first few innings he gave
pretty good satisfaction, but as the home nine
were completely outplayed, the visitors coming

the home team became very indignant at his
decisions The home team outbatted the Chi
eagos, but the latter, as usual exceled in base
running. A base on balls. two hits and two
errors by Serad gave the Chicago their winning
runs in the eighth inning. Game was called at
the end of the eighth inning, on account of rain.
