CABLE CAR RAN AMUck.
There Was . Lively Scene on Crowded Broadway For Q Time.


 NEw YORK, June 6.-One of the Broad way cable cars became unmanageable near the city hall park and started on a rampage toward the Battery. The gripman was un- able to release the grip, and under the cir eums&ances the brake became useless. In front of the postofflce the runaway car crashed into the rear platform of 0 horse ear ahead. The driver of the horsecar feined his horses to one side just in time to gave them from being run down. Both horses were thrown to the street and the traces were torn away.
 With the partly demolished horsecar ahead, the still manageable cable car continued on its mad course. The gripman struggled and strove with all his might to release the grip, falling in which he shouted Warnings to everybody in sight. His bell rang at a double rate. The passengers in both cars became terribly alarmed, and made a rush for the door, but the conduct or obstructed their way and prevented any body from leaving.
 Near St. Paul's churchyara, on Broad way, there was blockade of horses and wagons, and @ number of trucks were standing on the track. The runaway cars dashed into the first one. The wheels of Ebe vehicle were torn of and the horses throwh down, while the driver was hurled Against the &Sn of the churchyard. He escaped with light injuries. Still the cars rushed on. blowing through trucks and knocking down horses. The drivers usu- ally had warnings and escaped, but owing to the blockade they were unable to save their horses and wagons. When the cars had cut passage through the blockade, seven horses were stretched upon the ground and five wagons smashed.
 When it was seen that nothing could stop the runaway car. somebody rushed to the nearest telephone and notified the Houston street powerhouse. The cable was stopped immediately, and the cars came to a stand still below Trinity church. The traffic on Broadway was suspended for awhile.

An Extraordinary HaiIstorm.

READING, Pa, July 6.-This city was vis- ited by a hailstorm which for destructive ness ecipsed all previous storms of the kind since 1866. The storm originated about three miles west of Reading and coV- cred awidth of about four miles. The streets of the city were covered with hail and water, and the toy sewers became choked, being entirely too small to carry off even one-tenth of the water. Grain, corn. oats, flower gardens. grapes and other fruits were stripped of like leaves The vineyards on Mount Penn are com pletely ruined, and the owners do not ex- pect to obtain more than per cent of the crop. Many of these vineyards covered acres, and there is nothing left but the vine.
 South of Reading. especially along the tSchuylkill valley, the destruction to crops
 was very great. The wheat, rye and oat crops not yet cut have been leveled to the ground, and many of the fields were flooded. At Birdsboro hail fell to the depth of 1 three inches, and in some places was piled up to a depth of nearly a foot.
 The stones were the size of hickory nuts
 and fell so rapidly that pedestrians in this city were driven from the sidewalks. Street car horses became unmanageable from the pelting hail, and the drivers were
 compelled to stop the cars and seek shelter
 because of the hail striking them on the hands.
 In the southern and northeastern parts
 of the city many cellars were flooded, and l in some instances the water rushed through
 buildings, running carpets, etc, The down,
 pour was terrible, and nothing of the kind
 has ever been experienced in the recollec- tion of the oldest inhabitants.
 At Royer's Ford trains were delayed Q
 minutes by the track being flooded. A pas
 senger train got into the storm at Phoenix vile and remained in it until it was neal Pottstown. The storm Is described as ter
 rife, and the hail pelting the roofs of tht
 cars caused quite a panic among the pas sengers. The storm was accompanied by thunder and lightning.
 It is believed that the damage in tn,
 Schuylkiu valley will reach many thou sands of dollars. The glass of the hot
 houses in this city and in the track of thu storm were shattered and thousands O lyoung plants ruined. The beautiful flow CTS and plants which were just set out bI the Reading company at the Reading sta ltion were cut to pieces. The Reading forg
 on North Eighth street was flooded to
 depth of four feet, and the fires had to b
 drawn and the works shut down.

CONNECTS CELEBRATE.
How the Fourth" yaa Observed at Sta
 Priaon.


 Prison
 Independence day was observed in the state prison in a manner that showed the patriotism of the acting warden, General Haven.
 The convicts were somewhat sur prised when they were ordered to the chapel, as the majority do not believe in having two Sundays in one week. The general had prepared an amusing programme, the contributors being in mates of the institution.
 In keeping with the spirit of the day, the contractors, Hunt and Holbrook and Marcy Brothers entertained the men in the shops, providing them with sandwiches, good lemonade and a large bag of fruit. The men while they were the guests of the contractor were per mitted to converse with each other and it was noticed tha: this privilege WAS not abused.
 The men enjoyed extra rations, through the kindness of General aayCns. For breakfast they had saul sages and new potatoes. For dinner roast beef, mashed potatoes and mince pie. One convict who has been in the institution for over twenty years, told the general that 1t was the greatest day he had seen or enjoyed in the prison. The general thinks he has horticul- tural display that cannot be excelled in the state. A life prisoner who is em- ployed in the state shop" has a fig tree that is bearing fruit. He also has raisIn vines and le mon trees in blossom. These were planted from the seeds of fruit sent in by considerate friends.
 Dr Thompson has but one patient in the hospital, which certainly speaks well for him, as there are over 33O con- victs. Deputy Warden Baisden is still ill, but is making an effort to fulfill his duties

 climate and population of 2,000, 900 or more. The income of the gaekwar Gin the old records it is guicowar) is some $7, ,500, ,000 a year, out of which he runs the government, so far as the English think it good for the people and them selves, and supports himself and family. The title was originally rao, or king, and as the Aryan Hindoos are from the same original stock as the white Europeans those curious in such things may note its resemblance to the French roi, Span ish rey and Latin rex.
 Baroda, like most of the little native states, is under the British protectorate, and in 1875 Mulhar Rao, then gaekwar. poisoned Colonel Phayre, British resident or agent at his court. The English there upon broke the line of succession and installed Gopal Rao, boy of 12, who is descended from Pilaju, founder of the monarchy, and therefore took the title of Syaji Eao III. He has astonished everybody by his progress and ability in ruling. He speaks English with grace full fuency and is introducing modern civilized methods as rapidly as possible. He has taken high ground against child marriage and many other Indian abuses. On the whole, we should give a royal well come to the maharajah gaekwar.

Glass Broken In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-Probably the severest hailstorm that has visited this sec tion in years passed over the northern part of Philadelphia. The rain which accom- panied it was very heavy, flooding streets and cellars. Hailstones nearly an inch in diameter fell for fully 15 minutes, break ing thousands of panes of window glass and cutting trees and shrubbery to pieces. A gale blew during the prevalence of the storm and much damage was done to trees and insecure buildings and fences. Re ports from points in the eastern portion of the state indicate that the storm was very heavy and did much damage.
 There was some anxiety about the Della ware peach crop, but dispatches say the storm did not extend to that state.

HEIR TO ENGLAND's THRONE

Five Royal PrOcessIons Moved From Buck
 ingham Palace This MorninK-The Bride
 May Some Day Be Queen of England
 Betrothed to Her Husbands Brother.
 LONDON, July 6-At Buckingham palace the royalties of Europe gathered today to witness the marriage of England's future sovereign, Prince George of York, to the Princess May of Teck. From Buckingham palace five royal processions moved on to St. James palace. where, in the royal cha pei, the wedding took place amid bowers of flowers. The congratulations of every nation of Europe were rendered the royal couple.
 Although 1t was announced that the wedding would be Hemistate affair, it was made one of the greatest social events of all Queen Victoria's long reign, in which there have been so many marriages
 The Scene In the Chapel.
 The archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by MT. Sheppard, subdean of the Chapel Royal, oficiated. The arrangements at St. James, chapel were practically identical with those observed in the same chapel on the occasion of the wedding of the Princess Royal of England to the Crown Prince o4 Prussia, the late Emperor Frederick. All the old pews of the choir in the chapel, as we'll as the altar rails, had been taken away, and there was erected in front of the altar raised platform on a level with the steps of the altar, on either side of which were rows of chairs for the seating of the lady members of the royal family. There was sufficient space on the platform to ac- commodate the queen, the bride and bride groom, the best man, the bridesmaids, the eiver away of the bride and a number ot royal personages- The queens pew and galleries were also utilized.

LIGHTNING HIT POWDER
The Explosion of a Magazine Wrecked a Village.
NINE INJURED APPALLING WALLS.

Eastern Pennsylvania Ravaged by a Severe
 Vineyards Destroyed, Glass Broken and
 People Driven to Shelter.
 KINGSTON, N. r., July 6.-During a ter rible lightning storm that passed over this city Van Dusen Brothers powder maga- zine, at Devils Lake, small settlement on the outskirts of the city, was struck by lightning and was completely demolished. There were about 55 kegs of powder in the magazine, and their explosion blew that brick structure to atoms, destroying sev- eral buildings nearby and injured Inine persons, two of them men and the other seven women and children.
 The terrible flash was followed by 0 dull roar, and many persons rushed from their houses in terror, thinking the city had been visited by an earthquake. Anthony Prussack, with his family, occupied the second floor of one of the demolished build lngs. He was sitting in his bedroom talk ing with his wife when the crash came.
 The walls and roof fell in, and Prussack and his wife and children were seriously cut and bruised by flying bricks, glass and other debris.
 John Conaway, with his wife and chill dren, occupied the third floor of the same house.
 They were hurled from their chairs and knocked unconscious, and severely cut and bruised by falling timbers. Another small house on "a hill near the magazine was partly demolished. It was occupied by George Sowolski and his fam fly. He and the children escaped with only severe shaking up, but Mrs. Sowolski was badly cut by flying glass and plaster. The nine wounded persons were carried to a saloon nearby. Some of them pre- sented a sickening spectacle as they lay on the floor covered with blood, and it was heart rending to hear their cries as Drs. Crispell and Stern dressed their wounds The most severely injured of all is Mrs. Sowolski, who had cut several inches in length across her scalp and was also se- verely hurt internally.
 The powder magazine was owned by the Schagticoke Powder company of Buffalo, and it was used by Van Dusen Brothers, who acted as their agents for this city and vicinity

 After the procession and the wedding breakfast at Buckingham palace the new ly welded pair took special train to Sandringham, and will take up their resi- dence at the house which the Prince of Wales has had erected. The name of the house will in future be York cottage, in stead of Bachelor cottage.
 An Embarrassing Position.
 All the world is interested in this mar riage, and there is plenty to give more than usual interest to it. There ., yer was a bride before put in so trying position. Brought up to believe as part of her re ligion that the individual feelings of a princess mattered not one whit when her queen wished her to marry first one grand son and then his brother, the Princess May has been accused of loving Prince George while engaged to the Duke of Clarence, and with extraordinary perversity is charged now with bearing a broken heart for the older brother while obediently be- ing welded to the younger.
 Queen Victoria did everything in her power to emphasize her approval of the match. She gave temporary quarters in Buckingham palace to the Duchess of Teck and her family until after the wedding and invited the duchess to drive to the chapel with her in the royal carriage. She also gave minute directions as to the bride maids and their frocks, besides seeing to every detail of the wedding dress. All the costumes of the bridal party were of En- glish manufacture. An English dress maker made the wedding gown of English silver brocade and the white satin costumes ! for the 10 bridesmaids. Those 10 maidens | were all granddaughters of Queen Vic toria, daughters of the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Con naught, Prince Henry of Battenburg and the Duchess of Albany.
 Who the Bride Is.
 The Princess May is the eldest child and | only daughter of the Duke of Teck and Princess Mary of Cambridge, who are both connected with nearly every sovereign in Europe.
 May 26, 1e67, and the greater part of her life has been spent at White lodge, Rich mond park, the residence of her parents In personal appearance she is tall and slen- der, with fine features and extreme sweet Iness of expression, blonde in coloring, with blue eyes and light brown hair.
 She is a fine musician, has considerable talent an artist, great reader and an Iexpert horsewoman- The princess has been lquietIy and simply brought up and repre- sents much that Is good and highly at- tractiVe in English womanhood.
 Being so thoroughly English in all her methods of thought and action wins for her from the people of hersnative land the most popular approval of their prospective queen. She has endesred herself to the hearts of the people by her personal charms, her amiAble disposition and her simple, un- affected manner, and is sminently fitted by all the graces of mind and person, and by the essential qualities of intellect and char acter, to be in due course of time a queen and an empress.
 The Duke of York is the only surviving son of the Prince of Wales and by inherit . ance stands snext but one to the throne oi England. He is a commander in the roya navy and personal aid de camp to thu queen, and a soldier as well.
