A Mass Meeting Suddenly BfokeR UP
 By a Terrible Storm-TWo 0mtn0us
 Looking Clouds Pour Down . Dell
 uge of Rain and Hail.
 OswEeo, N. F., June 9.-The worst storm of rain and hail experienced here in many years, passed over this section of the State about three p. m. to-day. The people were just gathering at a mass meeting in aid of the Johnstown sufferers, when the sky sud denly became black and two immense clouds seemed to rise up out of the lake and bear down upon the city. The people abandoned the meeting and rushed for their homes. As the clouds approached they were frightful in appearance. They passed over the city three minutes apart and the sun shons brightly between them. The thermometer fell from 66 to 56. The hail came with terrific force, the stones being all shapes. The weather observer picked up one at the signal office 13 inches long 5a of an inch thick. Great damage was done to straw berries and tobac- co crops, and in many fields they were utter ly ruined. The second cloud sent down sheets of rain. The streets were filled from gutter to gutter and many cellars were dood- ed. The rainfall in twenty minutes was 1 4-10 inches, the heaviest in that time ever recorded here. The air was filled with cleo tricity and the thunder was incessant and deafening. The Burgess yacht Merle, owned ln Toronto, was driven ashore at Nine Mile Point. The crew escaped. An unknown schooner was driven ashore at Fair Haven. There is no communications with nearby towns tonight, but the damage to crops is believed to be very heavy.

Attractive Display at the Humphrey
 Street Church-An Eloquent Sermon
 by the Pastor.
 The Rev. MT. Luckey preached strong and eloquent sermon to large congregation at the Humphrey street church yesterday forenoon. The discourse treated of the spirit of Christ in the heart changing the life and character of the man, viyifying the spiritual element within him, thus making a new man of him. The earnest Christian becomes en- thusiastic for Christ. One illustration used in this connection brought up old times and recollections to some of the older mem bers. The earnest believer becomes like old Aunt Milly, who at her place of worship, the First Methodist church, years ago, had to burst forth despite injunotions in her excess of enthusiasm with "Glory to God, proper or not proper"
 The floral display at the church yesterday was most elaborate, surpassing almost any thing ever seen in a New Haven church. There was a large bed of daisies with re- clining cross of jacqueminot roses upon 1t. A cross of white peenies and mammoth an chor of daisies on 8 base of daisies formed very attractive emblems. The desk was ib- orally trimmed with flowers and bou- quet of roses rested upon it. Potted plants were placed all about the church and there were three large vases of foliage plants and two of pink and white peonies. On the side of the pulpit was large cross of beautiful roses, and from the arch between the choir and the pastor was suspended magnificent basket of callas and roses. The committee in charge of this un- usually elaborate display consisted of Mrs. Chambers, MT. Charles Hubbard, Miss Lillian Merwin, Miss Barto, Miss Vreeland and several of tho officers of the '.

An Ex-senator sues for Divorce.

ST. PAUL, June 9.-The Pionser-Press says ex-Senator D. NJ. Sabin has brought suit against his wife in the Washington county district court for divorce. The summons WAS served personally upon Mrs. Sabin at Flushing, L. l., som ething over week ago, but the complaint has not yet been filed in court. The charge made is that of habitual drunkenness. It is asserted that Mrs. Sabin had for some time prior to her marriage been an invalid. and during that time became ad- dicted to the use of morphine. The habit, it is claimed, had been 1ndulged in to a greater or less extent ever since, and in later years she has added to 1t the use of intoxicating liquors. It is stated that dur~ ing the absences from home of Mr. Sabin she occasionally indulged in liquors to excess. At the close of MT. Sabin's senatorial career Mrs. Sabin was placed, at her own request, in the asylum for inebriates at Flushing, where she is at the present time. Socially Mrs. Sabin is @ most fascinating lady and during Mir. Sabin's senatorial career in Washington she gave weekly receptions, which were among the most popular given by any lady in that city, and attended by the most distinguished people. It is doubtful whether the fault of which she is charged in the complaint ever became apparent to any of her Washington guests, or came to the knowledge of her friends there. MT. and Mrs. Sabin have no children of their own.

 Excellent Work By the Choir.
 The Whitsunday services at St. Thomas' church yesterday called forth large congre- gations both morning and afternoon. At the morning service the rector, Dr. E. g. Beardsley, preached a short discourse, points ing out the importance of Whitsunday in the, succession of church festivals, extending from Christmas to Trinity. The afternoon
 service was devoted to the anniversary exer- cises of the Sunday school. It was the for
 ty-frst anniversary. The exercises were
 largely musical, the vested choir assisting
 the Sunday school.
 Dr. Beardsley's address dwelt on the mis- sionary work of the school and the need of earnest, careful effort on the part of the teachers and scholars.
 Louis Mansfield, superintendent of the school, in the annual report announced the disposition of the funds of the school during the year. His report showed the school in . most fiourishing condition and the practical objects to which it's efforts during the year have been directed. The hymn, "Jerusslem, the Golden" and the anthem, tIn Jewry Is God Known, ' were exeellently rendered by the choir. 1 Prof. Bonney is improving the choir contin- ually and it will rank with any in the city.

The Stars and Stripes.


 HARTFORD, Conn.,, June 9.-The Courant tomorrow morning will say:
 The Courant every year calls attention to the fact that June IA Is the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the nation and suggests that the day be observed by 8 general display of the national ensign. Hartford people very geI- ally respond.
 The Courant mentions the fact thus early this year hoping that it's esteemed contem- poraries of every party and creed will unite with it in requesting the general observance of the day by swinging "Old Glory" to the breeze from every flagstaff. And it would further suggest that the history of the adop- ton of the flag be told in the schools of the land next Friday while the flag is displayed and the meaning explained of its stripes and stars. What better way to begin the second century of the great republic than by making this an annual observance
