TIME FOR A HALT.

A Party of PrOteges of the Prisoners Aid
Society of London Detained at Castle
Garden-Such Immigrants Are Not.
Wanted.
NEW YORK, May 1S.-A case of "im-
ported contract labor" came before Col
lectOr Erhardt yesterday for his decision.
Ten emigrants who arrived Thursday
night from Rotterdam on the steamer
OLDHAM had in their possession printed
documents indicating that each man had
come here at the instigation of the Pris-
oner's Aid Society of London, with the
understanding that he was to place his
services at the disposal of Samuel Neil, a
so-called "emigrant agent" at Seguin,
Tex. The men had agreed by q previous
ly-executed contract to undertake what
ever labor Nell placed them at. The
immigrants are all able bodied English
men, and have considerable money in.
their possession. The whole party is de.
tanned.
Ernst Lewis, nineteen years old, swore
that his fare had been paid by his guard
ian, Rev. H. w. Hawkins, of London;
that he had been in prison charged with
attempting suicide. When released he
was turned over to the Prisoners Aid
Society, which organization was instru-
mental in sending him to America. He
had a railroad ticket for Texas, but had
sold it. The Castle Garden authorities
say that the Prisoners Aid Society has
been sending emigrants to Nell in Texas.

Swath Five Six Miles Wide Cut
Through Norfolk and Nansemond COun-
ties, Va, Doing IncalcnlaDle Damage to
Gardens aud Truck Farms-Southamp-
ton County Also Visited.
BALTIMORE. Md, May 15.-The Suns
special from Norfolk, Va, says about
three O'Clock yesterday afternoon one of
the most severe hail-storms that ever
struck this section passed over Norfolk
and Portsmouth and vicinity. Ice parti-
cles of extraordinary size came down
with the hail. and several inches of hail
lay in drifts before the deluge of rain
that followed carried it away. The shade
trees of the street and the flower and
vegetable gardens were badly wrecked.
In the country the truck farms were bad
ly torn up, the strawberries and peas,
cabbage and other crops being
ruinously beaten to the ground.
The vineyards and orchards suf-
fered severely, vines and trees being
cut terribly and the fruit destroyed.
Many of the truckers express themselves
as ruined for the season. A swath of 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 every thing.
The loss will probably reach million
dollars, and it is too late now to attempt
to recover.
Monday morning about two 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
large pieces of ice and the great quantity
of it. The drifts of hail were twenty-four
inches deep in some places, and twelve
hours after the storm the drifts were over
six inches in depth. The barn of Mr.. w.
S. Francis was blown down by the wind
and demolished, and three horses were
killed. Other farmers suffered in damage
to their buildings.
Late Monday afternoon a hail storm
struck the great bridge section of Nor
folk County, and the hail-stones to con-
siderable extent were as large as pullet
eggs. The potato and vegetable gardens
were damaged. Three men at work in
field beyond Deep creek during the same
storm were struck by lightning and badly
injured.
