Storms in Germany.

BERLIN, July A terrible storm OF
thunder, hail and rain passed over a large
part of Germany Thursday night, causing
immense damage to property and loss of
life in the villages of Suchtelon, near Dus-
seldorf. Rade and Sittard. In the Crefeld
district, also near Dusseldorf, the storm
was especially severe, and the thunder and
lightning terrific. Many houses were COM
pletely wrecked and the inmates buried in
the ruins. Thirteen bodies have already
been recovered. Army pioneers have been
sent TO the scene of the disaster to aid in
the work of rescue. 1t is yet too soon to
form any estimate of the total number of
lives lost. At Brunswick the storm as
sumed the proportions of n cyclone, and
the inhabitants report last night as being
one of the most terrible in their experience.
This morning the streets are filed with
wreckage; houses were demolished and
others badly damaged, while many thor
oughfares are turned into miniature rivers.
In the neighborhood of Sprottan, in Prus-
sian Silesia, the hail was so largo that the
grain in the fields was literally cut to
pieces. At Sanct Ruprecht, near Gratz.
the capital of Syria, in Austria, a water
spout burst over the towL with fearful
| force, sweeping away the cabins of two
peasants. Nine were drowned. Every
hour is adding to the story of disaster, and
but few places in the path of the storm
seem to have escaped.
