THE STORM AT WASHINGTON.
Seven People Reported Killed Near the
National Capital.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Reports from the
suburban towns about Washington show
that great damage was done by the storm
throughout the surrounding country At
the Catholic university, just outside the
city, the new dOrmitory in process of CON
struction was demolished. At Brook
land, a few miles out, the town hall was
partially destroyed and many other build
ings unroofad and otherwise damaged.
The train sheds at Alexandria were blown
down, and the debris is across the tracks
In this city the papal legation was un-
rooted and the Chinese legation was dam
aged about 81, 500.
Reports from Rockville, Md, and other
small places along the Metropolitan
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road show that the storm did great deal
of damage, but no loss Of life was re-
ported. The Episcopal church in Rock
Vile was demolished and "a tree fell upon
the Episcopal parsonage, wrecking IA por-
ton of it. Houses were unroofed and
trees blown down in all the smaller towns
outside of Washington. Great damage is
reported in the farming districts, where all
grains in stack or shocks have been
strewed over the land, Many barns have
been blown down. All reports indicate
that the storm was very severe in every
direction outside of Washington,
The White House was slightly injured
by the storm Il portion of the copper roof
ing being stripped off and other damage
done. The most notable loss to the build
ing was that of the tall flagstaff from
which the signal was given to the city that
the president was in town. In the beauti-
full grounds surrounding the house the
damage sustained was narrowing to the
feelings of the lovers of nature. No less
than twenty-five of the splendid trees We're
completely leveled while fully fifty of the
other trees are permanently defaced. There
Is reason to fear that the beauty of the
lawn is permanently injured. Fully 5000
of the 70 900 trees IN the city are destroyed.
