here that repetition Of the bloody labor
riots Of 1890. when scores of rioters were
shot down and killed by the police and

The situation is critical 1t was brought
about by the action of the Mayor of Val
paradise in ordering one thousand workshops
closed, thereby throwing thousands of men
out of employment. Unless something is
done Immediately to provide for the idle
thousands, serious trouble will result.
The authorities only quelled the riots OF
1890 after great loss of life. The rioters
at that time looted scores of stores to OBJ
tain food and clothing, and the result was
the police and militia were called out to
put an end to the troubles Scores of idle
men were shot down and cut down in the

\ storm. which for intensity and the
amount of damage done i'll short time
dwarfs into insignifcance most of the storms
which have passed over the city IN late
wears. broke over Baltimore between three
and four o clock yesterday afternoon, and
while the damage was circumscrlbed ana
chiefly confined to one section of the city
the northwestern-ye i'll the space OF half
AN hour thousands Of dollars worth OF prop
erty was destroyed and streets and road
ways badly washed.
1t was peculiar storm in that 1t broke
after it was preceded an hour before by a
violent downpour of rain, which passed
away. leaving the atmosphere moist, muggy
and humid. Suddenly, toward the north
west dense masses of black clouds began to
Gather. while from the southwest another
bank of clouds came swirling, until as some
citizens described it, they appeared to meet
over Druid Hill Park, there was crash,
\ vortex created, and swirlin@ round and
round vertable waterspout was presented.
\ sound as Of the rushing of winds came
from this angry mass Of matter, and sud-
denly with the rising wind the downpour
commenced Some say it was cloud

were compelled to be out were deluged IN

umbrellas were wrenched from the hands
of those who carried them, trees were up
rooted. roofs were partially blown from
bouscs windows were smashed, and through
the streets torrents of water rushed i'll

feet deep. flooding houses and cellars.

Forty nine of the city lire-alalm boxes

were burned out. and workmen were en-
RACED for hours last nj "ht in repairing the
damage. Wires were cut ami broken III
many directions.
Although the storm apparently broke
over Druid Hill Park, and spent its VIC
leucr before it reached other sections OF
the city, it was. nevertheless, violent
enough everywhere The torrents of wa
ter which fell in the short while the storm
lasted was phenomenal. The electrical
display was vivid incessant. and the thun-
der rolled and ratified and crashed. One
little child described the lightning as "t
