MUCH LIKE A cLoUDBURsr.
Terrific Rain and Hail Storm at Bangor and
Vicinity = Several Thousands Damage.

Bangor. July 1S.-Bangor was visited
by shower, or more properly speak
ing, a cloud-burst Saturday, the like
of which has seldom been seen here
The shower was preceded by smaller
one at 2. the big one not striking until
about 4.3O, and then it rained hard.
The shower lasted about 20 minutes
and was accompanied by sharp lightn-
ing and heavy thunder, while hail
stones as large as robins eggs fell all
the time.
The streets of the city were damaged
to the extent of $4,000. and will require
several weeks work to put them in
good condition again. The stores along
Kenduskeag bridge suffered consider
ably from water backing into the eel
lars and wetting stock.
Crops in the country were damaged
very badly, some farmers losing nearly
all of their garden truck
1t is estimated that the damage in
Bangor and surrounding towns will
reach $4,000.

the vessel capsized and that the crew

if they escaped in boat, as it seems
impossible that a boat could live in
such seas as were running.

himself Fred Inward of Boston, was
placed under tTest. while all the
others were notified TO appear in the
Municipal courts Monday morning.
AS the list numbers many we'll
known men, there promises to be good
attendance of SPECTATORS and plenty Of
fun. Detective Odlin took the names
of all in the party, and it is said to be
interesting reading.
Howard was taken by Detective Cd
lin to the policesstation where he was
placed in the woman's cell. Mr.. Odlin
this afternoon, went to the cell to see
Howard, but the man was missing.
and careful inquiry of the officers failed
to divulge his whereabouts or the man
ner and means of his escape. II was
said that he might have escaped
through trap door leading from the
cell to a water closet, but this was no.
proven.
Mr.. Odlin made immediate search
about town for Howard, and in a short
time located his man. Howard said thai
he had been released by one of the off,
GERS and that he had given bail. but as
Mr.. Odidn knew that he had not been
before the judge. he couldn't see how this
could be.
He therefore told Howard that he
should be compelled to again take him
into custody. but Howard objected and
said he would not go. Still, after a little
argument and persuasion. he decided that
he would submit. To take no further
chances. Mr.. Odlin took the man to the
