OLD WORLD MATTERS
A Terrific Hailstorm Experience at
Vienna.
RUNNING OF TIE OAKS At EPSON
Startling Report Submitted to the
Storthing.
GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

LONDON, June S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Vienna says: The worst hail
storm that ever visited this city commenced
at o'clock yesterday morning. At that
time dense, Copper-colorad clouds rose with
alarming rapidity. The wind drove the
dust in columns to the height of four-story
houses. This lasted few minutes, and then
the hail began to fall, and covered the city
in short time to the depth of six 10 eight
inches. In less than fifteen minutes the
city looked as if it had undergone a bonn
bardment. 1t is estimated that 100000 win
dows were smashed by the hail. Five hum
dred panes Of glass were broken in the
ministry of commerce building alone, and
six hundred in the palace. In the upper
floors and the empsror's wing Of the palace
hardly pane remains unbroken. In a
large mill on the Danube nearly four thous-
and panes were smashed. The hailstones
averaged the size of hazelnuts, and de-
scended in streams. Three deaths are re-
ported as due to falling trees. Numerous
horses were frightened by the storm and
ran away, causing serious accidents.
Much damage was done in field outside
OF Vienna, where a detachment of artillery
with thirty-two guns was overtaken. The
horses bolted In fright In all directions, and
thirty soldiers soon lay helpless on the
ground. Several of them were run over and
ly injured.
Many persons were bruised by the hail
in the principal streets. The beautiful
gardens OF the city are a pitiful sight.
The trees are stripped of their leaves, the
Mowers destroyed and the avenues strewn
with branches and small trees. The fronts
OF many houses have the appearance of
having been the target for a musketry vol
ley. Telegraph and telephone poles were
blown down in exposed situations, and the
wires are stretched On the ground like
huge cobwebs, causing the death of thou
sands OF birds and stunning many horses.
The thermometer during the storm sank
to 10 Reaumer. 1t is feared that irretriev-
able damage has been done to the crops
Reports from Pressburg show that that
place was also visited by a disastrous hall
storm. and that the vineyards We're almost
ruined.
Violent storms have occurred during the
week at Odenburg. Vesseprim and in Cro-
TIA Immense damage is reported to have
been done.

The Legion of Honor.
From the London Daily News

From the london Daily Ncws.
NJ. Ambrose Thomas, on whom the grand
cross-formerly grand cordon--of the Legion
of Honor was bestowed on the occasion of
the thousandth repr esentation of "Mignon,"
is one of six civilians who at present hold
that order. Meisscnier is the only artist
who has ever held this distinction. The
number of grand crosses is limited to eighty
but for a long time past the number actu-
ally holding the decoration has varied be-
tween forty and fifty. When the Legion of
Honor created in 1892 by Gen. Bona
grand Gordon were entitled to draw $500 a
year At the restoration this amount was
reduced by one-half. Nowadays the men,
bers of the Legion of Honor receive the
following annuities: knights. flo: officers.
EGO; commanders, $40; grand officers, ESQ,
and grand crosses, $40. Decorations con
ferred on civilians do not carry with them
any pension.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Detroit has street car conductor who
ought to be a finnicky old maid or q profess
sional facetiousist. The other morning a
young woman in the car beckoned for him,
and he came readily. for he is polite and
prompt.
Can leave the car at the next street,"
she inquired.
You'll have to. miss" he responded.
1t wasn't the end of the line, and she
didn't understand: neither did she like be-
ing told she would have to leave the car
What did you say?" she inquired, with
a reddcring face.
Il said you would have to leave the car,
miss
We'll, 1 guess l won't unless / want to-"
she said, in very evident indication of rising
temper.
Where do you wish to go?' asked the
conductor, perfectly calm.
Two blocks down that cross street"
The conductor smiled softly.
Then you will have to leave the car,
miss, for 1 don't see how you can possibly
take 1t with you" and he rang the bell for
the crossing, and the girl hadn't time to
stay and have 1t out with him.
