The widest tales of the Western

Vienna, Austria, n short time ago.
The hailstones were of enormous size,
large enough to not only break all the
windows exposed to their violence, but
in many cases roofs were penetrated.
least two persons caught in the
storm were killed, and more than 200
were injured by the hail. Most of the
wounded had either arms or legs
broken. Gardens, parks, public walks
and ave. ~"e were destrovG
ground under the trees being 'o'ereu /,
with thick carpet of leaves and hail
stones that lay many inches deep upon
them. In the public gardens dead
pigeons, blackbiris, thrushes and spar
rows covered the ground. The hail
came 50 fast that in moment the
openings into the sewers were stopped
up, and the water overllowed into cell
lars and underground habitations.
The hailstones in the streets, when
swept up and shovelled together, lay
in heaps from three to five feet high
in all the thoroughfares OF the town.
The rails of the street-car lines were
buried in ice everywhere, and in some
instances the cars stuck SO fast that
they had to be shovellel out NJ in mid
