BAlrlMonE, Mp, April 2?.-The heay:

passed over Baltimore from northveut
to southeast between 3:45 and 4 p. m.

in the city were broken, the damage
being confined mainly to the western
exposure. Many runaways are re.
ported. Some horses and carriages
were abandoned in the streets, their
owners leaving them to seek shelter.
1t is probable that number OF people
we're injured as the stones were very
large, some measuring more than two
inches in diameter and weighing moro
than four ounces each. The extent OF
the damage h,ls not yet been ascer;
