A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Yesterdays Game Prevented by the
Rain-In Other Cities.

The Senators and the Hoosiers began plucki-
" yesterday. in the teeth Of an approaching
storm, with DRILLING rain falling. Umpire
Barnum. however. started the ball rolling at
40 BOYLE and Myers and Haddock and
Ebright were the batteries. Mack played right
field How began business by lining out
single over the third baseman's head. He stole
second very neatly. and Shoch flied out to
Seery. Myers drove a hot one at Boyle that he
could not hold and the ball went humming
down to Bassett who made a beautiful stop and
threw Myers out at first. Hoy had reached
third. and scored when Hines muffed Dennys
TIN ow of Wise's hit. Morrill, went out at first.
1t looked very much as though the Hoosiers
might tie the score in their half. Seery flied
out to Hoy. and GlasscOck was given his base
on balls. He tried to steal. but was nailed
prettily at second by neat throw by Ebright.
Hines then raped the ball hard, and Shoch,
running up under it. could not reach it, while
raul made third on the hit. Denny given
his base on balls. but Umpire Barnum thought
ii was raining a little too hard for base ball and
called time. The down pour continued long
over the thirty minutes. and the game was de-
clared off for the day. There were less than
LOCO people present.
IN OTHER CTTIRs.
Cleveland whitewashed the Giants, playing a
beautiful game. tie score being to 0. The
rams were all made i'll the seventh inning
through poor pitching. The batteries were
1itcpa,D aud Murphy and O'Brien and thinner.
New York made hits and errors. and Cleve-
iIui hits and errors.

An Audience Watches a Real Fire,

The woodwork underneath the gallery of the
Academy of Music in Jersey City took fire last
night, through leaky gas pipe, during the
performance of The Still Alarm, and the peo-
pie sat and watched the real fire scene I'M
moved. Fire truck No. l was called immedi-
ately, and squad of policemen, headed by
Chief Murphy, were in the theater in an incred-
lbIe short space of time after the discovery of
the blaze. When the firemen entered the
building few persons showed disposition to
rush out, but Fireman Coleman dealt one man
powerful blow with his fist. This had the
effect OF stopping the rush. which might have
resulted in panic
The police did good service in allaying the
fears OF nervous men and women. The audi
ence watched intently the firemen as they bat
tled with and subdued the flames. The or
chestra played with commendable vigor. which
impaired confidence during the excitement.
When the fire had been subdued, Mr. Harry
Lacey, the leading actor, addressed the audi
ence, complimenting them on the pluck dis
played.

Against Ball PLAYING on SUNDAY.

The Rev. Mr.. Leach. Of the Paulina-street
church. Chicago, preached strong sermon
Sunday night against the practice of Sunday
ball playing. Mr.. Leach said that ball playing
on Sunday was the curse of Chicago; that those
who attended or participated in Sunday base
ball games were taking the first steps toward
drunkards' graves. Little boys, he said. pre-
ferred the Sunday ball game to the Sunday
school and they lied to their parents to witness
them. The sermon was discussed by the min
listers at the general weekly meeting this after
noon. All condemn Sunday base ball PLAYING
as strongly as Mr. Leach, but no two agreed
upon plan to stop ball playing ON Sunday

HAIL-sTORMs IN VIRGINIA.
Crops Badly Injured-The Loss Reach
Ing u Million Dollars.

Yesterday afternoon a severe hailstorm passed
over Norfolk and Portsmouth and vicinity. Ice
particles OF extraordinary size came down with
hail, and several inches Of hail lay in drifts be-
fore the deluge Of rain that followed carried it
away. The shade trees Of the streets and the
flowers and vegetable gardens were badly
wrecked. In the country the truck farms were
badly torn up. the strawberries and peas cab
bage and other crops being ruinously beaten to
the ground. The vineyards and orchards suf-
fered severely. vines and trees being cut terri
bly, and the fruit destroyed. Many of the
truckers express themselves as ruined for the
season. A swathe five or six miles broad was
cut through Norfolk and Nansemond counties
by the storm. The truckers all around the
Hodges Ferry section and between the Western
Branch river and Portsmouth lost everything.
The loss will probably reach a million dollars,
and il is too late now to attempt to recover.
Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock terrific
hail-storm and rainfall swept over Southampton
county. in the vicinity of Newsom's depot. and
the growing crops and orchards were badly
damaged by the large pieces of ice and the
great quantity of it. The drifts OF hail were
twenty-fOur inches deep in places, and twelve
hours after the storm the drifts were over six
inches in depth.
The afternoon storm visited Danville, doing
great damage to roofing. fences. shade and
fruit trees. Three tobacco factories were I'M
rooted, the bridge over the Dan river damaged.
q house in the course of construction was blown
down, large oak tree fell on a kitchen. demol-
ishing it. and the colored Baptist church blown
down. Hundreds of dollars worth of shade
and fruit trees were ruined The cyclone was
accompanied by rain and slight hail, lasting
fifteen minutes.
THE STORM IN NORTH CAROLINA
At Lumberton. N c., the storm unroofed the
railroad warehouse and telegraph office. No
other material damage is reported. severe
hailstorm is reported at Toisnot, on the Will
mington and Weldon railroad, last evening
The fast mail train had to move cautiously and
was delayed two hours. One tree was found
across the track, and il was feared there we're
others. Considerable damage was done to
crops and some panes of glass were broken in
the car windows. Particulars are meager
