Quiet in Police Circles.
When Mayor Evans opened court yes
terday morning there was not q single
case for him to try. Things have been
quiet in police circles for the past few
days, and the officers have had practi-
callv nothing to do. The police fear
that this is the calm that pre- cedes tho
storm. They are afraid that when the
storm does come, it will come all at
once and in heap.

do.

Contest ut Senator ouay's Request.
Special Dtspateh 10 the Inietltoeneer
WASHINGTON, D. O., July Ex-senator
Vest said before the senate convened
to-day that George shiras, Jr., would be
confirmed as associate justice OF the
United States Supreme bench. Mr..
Vests prediction was not realized
though he made it for the reason
probably that the judiciary committee
reported the nomination neither favor
ably or adversely.
The presumption is that Mr.. Shiras
will be confirmed at tho first executive
session where nominations are consider
cd. The situation regarding this i'm
portant Pennsylvania matter has Under
gone change within the last few days.
This fact is supposed to BIO due to
pressure brought TO bear on Senator
Cameron by tho friends Of Mr.. Shiras.
Senator Quay was tho medium en-
ployed. He did not place himself on
record in the Shiras matter beyond say
ing he would vote for the confirmation
when it came up for consideration in
the senate. Tho outcry against Mr..
Cameron's opposition was SO vigorous
from the western end OF the state that
Mr.. Quay saw tho absolute necessity Of
suppressing further objection on Mr.
Cameron's part. The upshot OF the
matter was Mr.. Cameron's practical
withdrawal from tho contest.
The confirmation OF Mr.. shiras is ex-
pected 10 be made tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 25.-Just be-
fore noon violent thunder storm broke
over tho city aud in fifteen minutes the
mercury, which was 81, had been driven
back to 81 degrees. The duration Of the
storm was not over forty minutes, bat
in that time 1t did nearly $500, 900 worth
OF damage.
The southern section of tho city es-
capped with q heavy downfall Of rain
and some sharp lightning, but a wide
swath OF demolished houses marked the
patho the storm in the northern por-
ton. Al Twenty-ninth and York streets
row OF twenty-five three-story houses
that were in the course of construction
were lovolled to the ground. A two
story stone stable ut Thirty.fourth and
Harold streets met the same fate.
The storm advanced eastward over
the city leaving trail Of unroofed
houses In its wake until It struck the
great manufacturing districts Of Ken
sington aud Richmond. Hero the great
eat fury was vented. The tall mill build
ines furnished good mark, and score
ofthetn were stripped Of their roofs.
At Eichley avenue and Gaul streets five
small houses that were being built wore
almost destroyed.
Tho roof OF the North Penn station at
American and Borks streets was blown
of and with it went over 100 wires OF
tho Western Union and Philadelphia &
Reading. The state service ot the two
companies was badly crippled for a
time The roof ot tho Catholic church
of the Nativity at Allegheny avenue
and Belmont street was ripped oil.
At ClearReld street one OF the Phila.
delphia a. Reading Railroad Company
is located. Tho building was 400 feet
long. At tho time the storm broke tho
l20 mon employed in it wore eating
their dinner. Tho frightened men had
barely timo to follow advice when
with q crash tho whole mass of
brick and wood fell in. With the
exception OF six men, who were some
what cut aud bruised by flying bricks,
all the mon in tho shop escaped unin-
jurcd. Tho cars in which they took
refuge, were reduced almost 10 kind
ling wood. There were seventy cars in
the building being repaired and tho
loss upon them and the structure is es-
timated ut S50,0U0
In addition to tho above damage near.
ly fifty dwelling houses were unrooted
and partly demolished. The suburban
sections Of tho city also suffered heavily.
At Manayunk thrce mills and flitoon
dwellings werc unroofod. After the
passing OF tho storm tho coolness that
had come with it passed away and the
heat became moro intense than ever.
After 4 o'clock tho heat began to
abatc, and tonight at s OF clock the thcr.
mometer marks SO degrees and tho hu-
midity had fallen to O. per cent. Not
withdrawing tho Cxtrcme heat but few
sunstrokes were reported by the police,
and but few cases are at the hospital Of
