NEW YORK. July 13.-Shortly after 4
o'clock this afternoon the northern por-
ton OF this city was visited by an ex-
tremely heavy and devastating storm Of

The storm-clouds darkened the upper

light big drops Of rain fell, followed BY
hall-stones as large as hickory-nuts. SO
far as known there was no loss OF HE
or severe bodily injury. but the breaking
of windows and damage to valuable veg
citation in gardens and conserva tories was
considerable.
In the vicinity OF 126th street and 1enox
avenue there were hundreds of sparrows'
bodies lying on the sidewalks and road
ways after the violence Of the storm had
subsideG.
The storm was very severe In Brooklyn.
Several large trees in Cypress-IIill Gene
terry We're uprooted.
At Woodhaven. l.. l.. it Is reported,
more than thirty houses were blown
down. One woman was Killed. and num-
Der of people were injured.
At Redbank. n. J., the hailstones were
as large as walnuts and did great dam

The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1895-07-19

II is almost impossible 10 believe
thstany sane man no matter how
much his moral vision may be dis
torted by prejudice and hate, would
no. only utter but publish in the
colmns OF a large city paper such
wordp as are given below. But
John J. Ingalls,, ex-U. S. Senator,
has recently vented his spleen and
shown his hatred Of President
Cleveland by saying this OF him in
a recent issue Of the n. Y. Tribune !:
He has reached the Hottest posi-
tions with less ability than any
man whom history records. He
has not the slightest constructive
capacity. When he went into Of
fee his ignorance Of every public
question was dense, abysmal and
profound. But he went at them
with all the confidence Of ignor-
ance.
Could more venomous lying be
compressed in so small a space?
Mr.. Mast, the great caricaturist,
makes these lines accompany
drawing showing a snake, with
forked tongue, emerging from
bupch Of grass, its head easily rec
ognizsd as the head OF the reptile
from Kansas.
