STORM VERY SEVERE.
Hail Stones Cause Great Damage in
montgomery County.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, June H. 1899.
Late reports indicate that the storm
which passed over the northern section of
this county last Friday afternoon was
much more severe than was at first
thought. Owing to thu telephone connec-
lions being interrupted it has been impos
sible to get accurate reports until today.
This morning it was learned here that the
storm was accompanied by the heaviest
downpour of hail ever known in this
county, and that an immense amount of
damage was done. The area covered by
the hail was about mile in width, and ex-
tended over the entire northern portion of
the county. The stones were very large,
some of them being the size of hen eggs.
The growing wheat and corn crops were
totally destroyed, and grass was badly
beaten down and much damaged. Many
window pares were smashed, and scores of
trees were blown over. The damage done
amounts to thousand of dollars 1t is said
the storm was even more severe than the
tornado of September. 1896.

NO SIGNS OF CLEARING.
The Conditions Favorable for Con-
tinuance of Shower.

The weather bureau does not hold out en-
couragement for brighter weather before
tomorrow. or possibly the next day. No
signs are visible of clearing weather to-
night. The conditions are favorable for a
continuance of showers during the night
and maybe tomorrow.
The cause of the wet weather today is
the prevalence of east winds, and the cause
of the east winds is the location OF a
high in New England. There is low
above the Dakotas. and if IL moves east
wardly at a rapid rate 1t will bring warmer
weather. But the low cannot move east
wardlv until the high shoves off into the
Atlantic and makes place for 1t. When
that occurs there will be southerly winds
in these parts with a consequent increase
of temperature and clearing skies.

make permanent the control of the intel
