A HEAVY GALE
SWEPT THE CITY.
Wind Blew 80 Miles an Hour Early
This Morning.
Some Dam 'ge Was Done but No Serious
Accid nts Are r ported.

The storm which broke over this city
yesterday was very severe at times and for
a period of two hours one of the worst
on. The real storm began at about 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and ended at
O'Clock this morning. During that
period there was rain, thunder, lightning
and q great deal Of wind. The greatest
velocity of the wind about o'clock yes
terday afternoon was 16 miles an hour,
and this elowly increased until. between
and O'Clock, when the real gale began.
IL was however, between the hours of
and 4 this morning that the gale
reached its height, and during those two
hours the wind blew at the rate Of 30
miles an hour, exerting n pressure Of ~
pounds 20 the square inch. This Is "a
very unusual occurrence In this vicinity,
and while MT without iaraesdspt- - = et "
happening seldom recorded.
During the STERN the total rainfall
amounted 10 Si-10O inches and while tho
storm propcr ceased about o'clock this
suurning, the wind storm has continued
with greater or lesser Intensity through
out the day. Up to IL o'clock the maxi
mum velocity reached was IL miles an
hour and this record was made between s
and o'clock.
In such high wind 10 Is but natural
that more or less damage should bc done
anu the reports from all over the city tell
of the power of the wind. Fortunately.
no accidents of q serious nature occurred
and the many losses will not reach "a
very high figure. A partial summary
