RAIN AND WIND STORM.
Much Havoc Wrought Around Charlottes-
ville-Ofher News.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA, July ~
Special.-Yesterday about 4 o'clock this
section was visited by one Of the heaviest
rain and wind storms seen here for many
years. In the city some damage was done
to buildings and ~shrubbery. and in the
country around us 1t was a veritable
cyclone. Large trees were blown down
and loose fences carried of. The apple
orchard OF Mr.. j. w. Porter, on Month
cello Mountain. was badly damaged, the
trees In his large orchard swept to the
ground. and several buildings on his place
demolished. The storm Is said TO have
been very destructive in other sections
of the county. Considerable hail accom-
panied the hard rain, and the lightning
and thunder were terrific.
George Davis, h was brought here
some time & from Madison county for
safe-keeping, was taken back 10 that
county to-day for trial. 1t will be re-
membered that Davis shot and killed his
s~on-in-law some time ago.
Mr.. Richard Dickinson, a prominent
yourg man OF Albemarle, died at his
home near Bowlesville on yesterday Of
typhoid fever.
The whereabouts OF Mrs. Mollle Coffin.
who disappeared from her home in this
city on Monday morning, Is still a pro-
found mystery. The river has been drag
ged and the mountains secured In search
OF her, but nothing can be learned Of her
whereabouts.

The Contract Vii Stand

A meeting Of the Grounds n Buildings
Committee OF the City Council was held
yesterday afternoon at the City Engineers
Office. Present: r. NJ. Taylor chair
man, and Messrs. Turpin, Noble, Tanner,
Mountcastle and Epps.
Mr.. c. V. Meredith, City Attorney. was
present by request, and was asked for
an opinion as TO the authority OF the
committee to resclnd the contract made
with Messrs. Chamblin, Delaney q Scott
for vault lights at the new City Hall, as
requested by the contractors, on the
ground that under n misapprehension OF
the price OF the glass they had bid too
low by about 500. He decided that the
right to rescind a contract was only
vested in the City Council.
Mr.. Turpin then moved that the Coun-
Gil be requested 10 rescind the contract.
Mr.. Chamblin said that they would pre-
fer TO do the work and trust 10 the Coun-
Gil for remuneration after it was done.
as they desired TO keep their hands en-
ployed during the dull season.
Mr.. Turpin advised him not to look to
the Council under the belief that they
would pay him more than the contract
price.
He then decided 10 do the work, even
II they lost money by it. and otihe the
City Engineer that he would sign the
contract.
