Ient, Lightning, Wind nnd Rain.

The heat Of yesterday was unbcarahle
but then everybody knows that The
mere effort to exist was in itself enough to
make sun sCprched mortals long for cooler
Cliiilrs. Tn" thermometer, however, was
UNUSUALLY active, as it always is in warm
weather, and all day long the mercury
kputteroI and sizAled and seemed to play
leap frog with itself in its eager effort to
reach the one hundred mark
That's what it came near doing, too, for
ut o'clock the Thermometers the RE.
PrBLILAh Office was 81.
AT u a u clock, when 1t seemed that the
warm spell must be broken, storm clouds
rs black rs INK were seen and in few
Inihute- they came together with n crack,
Whit tht rain fell in torrents Previous
to the rainfall, the wind blew almost II
lurrlcaLe and the streets wcrc 50 filled
with clouds Of dust that one could not sec
his way twenty feet
The wind for u while blew at the rate of
50 miles an hour, Pedestrians who wore
without umbrellas, and they we're legion,
were soaked to the skin. Open cars were
dcluged ana fair maids and stnlwart men
We're obliged to sit on the tops Of the
benches, as the seats We're flooded. The
force Of the wind blow down several trees,
which blocked travel for some time
One large trce which fell across the
Dclawrre avenue car track was so heavy
that 1t required six men to lift it, In
Eighth street and Brandywne Parks trees
were also blown down. Ones in front of
Nos 5l3 and jl5 jefferson street were also
blown down. Corn in the fields in the
country was blown down and much dam
asr done to the fields
The Indications for to-day are CRAFTY.
