THE CITY In A GALE.
WIND AND LIGaTNING HAVE
THINGS THEIR OWN WAY.

The Electric Car System Tied Up for
Awhile and the Electric Lights Cut
Out The Streets Flooded with
Water, and Late Marketers Have to
Wade Home-Yesterday the Hottest
OF the Mcnth-Mercury Up TO 95
Degrees - People Overcome and
Horses Drop in Their Harness.
A violent storm swept over the city be-
tween and 0 O'Clock last night. The
wind blew gale, and in the hight of
the storm it reached a velocity of forty
miles an hour. The lightning was incessant
and vivid, and the thunder was terrific.
Nearly an inch and half of rain fell in-
side Of an hour. The storm was at its
heaviest little after o'clock. Many of
the streets were overlooked with water, the
sewers being unable to carry it off. The
water was several inches deep on the
asphalt pavement at the corner of Bull
and Liberty streets, and York and Aber-
corn streets, in the vicinity of the govern
ment building site, were impossible and
lake formed around Oglethorpe square.
LINKS of trees were blown down In
| number of places. A branch fell on the
guard wire OF the Barnard street electric
railway line, breaking the wire, which fell
to the ground. This grounded the current
aud stopped the cars for awhile on both the
Barnard street line and the Belt line.
The lightning used the Electric Railway
Company even worse. a sharp stroke
about o'clock burnt out the fuses of all the
cars on the line. This damage was easily
repaired, but q short while after
ward the lightning struck the works
in the southeastern section of the
.,sk H. oil
cars stopped on the tracks. where they re.
manned for several hours. The damage was
repaired by midnight, but the line was not
put in operation. Telephone connections
with the power house had been cut off
by the crossing of wires and the full extent
| of the damage could not be learned.
The electric light works were also
troubled by the electricity, and the lights
in q number Of buildings went out for a
short while, but the current was turned on
again.
The temperature, which recorded 900
during the day, fell about 15' when the
storm came up.
The rain ceased between and IL o'clock
when 1t began again and continued through
the night. Tho Lightning kept up until after
2o'clock and was very severe.
The day was the hottest Of the
month 80 far. People and animals
suffered intensely. On the wherves the heat
was the most felt. Unprotected and with
out breath of air the wharf hands nearly
sutfocated. The streets were hot with the
radiation from the heated pavements and
buildings, and people hurried
to get into the shade. Few were
on the streets except those whose
business required it. Draft animals suf-
fered severely. One of Guckenheimer's
big gray horses died from sunstroke at JEFF
ferson and Bay streets in the afternoon.
Two dray horses dropped dead on Liberty
street. and carriage horse fell in the har-
ness on Drayton street, but rec 0vered.

SUMMER OBSERVATIONS.
Some Things That I've Noticed
COMMUNICATED


Editor NeleS:: DEAR SIR-It not infring-
ing too much on your valuable space
would like to relieve my mind of load OF
reflection, that may interest your readers,
and will certainly reduce my store OF gar
nered wisdom. Why would most people
rather follow cross path forbidden by q
S?5 penalty in square, than increase their
journey dozen yards by following the le-
climate walka
Why is it that after melting through q
night Of humidity that leaves you with the
feeling OF having been drawn through sec
ton of eight-iuch gas pipe, you are sure to
meet somebody the next day who found
it very pleasant nigntw
Why is it thai Augusta enjoys ten~days,
excursion to the mountains for SIS tue
round trip, or Charleston for 81 so, and
Savannah never gets cheap trip to Yem-
assoc or Rincons
Why is it tnat any one should want to go
to the mountains any way when by tina aid
of Lsvy's half price sale of their summer
clothing they can keep a heap cooler at
home?
What is there about this communication
to suggest that you have not been benefited
by reading ita Respectfully.
