STORM BALTIMORE.

Twelve dead and loss of property
which it is now impossible to estimate,
are the results Of a sixty-four-mile gale
which blew from the southwest across
Baltimore and the neighboring counties
Yesterday. The storm swooped down
upon the city and bay at 1:25 p. m. AT
| AS the sun was again shining.
Most of the deaths resulted from
drowning. At the time the storm broke
the harbor was dotted with pleasure
craft. and the river resorts crowded by
throngs. who had sought to escape the
heat of the city. The storm came up
ont of the southwest suddenly and with
little warning, and blew for twenty min
utes directly across the harbor. Inc
maximum rate of the wind was sixty
four miles an hour. Great clouds OF
dust came as the advance guard OF the
oale. to the accompaniment OF thunder
and lightning. Wind, however, was re-
sponsible for the loss of life and damage
to property. Great trees that had with
stood the winds of half century were
uprooted and their twisted trunks thrown
bodily across the street car tracks,
blocking traffic for hours. Roofs from
blocks of houses sailed at times a hun
dred feet and fell in crumpled heaps up
on other debris. Telephone and electric
light wires were hopelessly entangled and
many sections of the city were in dark
ness at night. Reports from the neigh
boring counties tell of heavy damage to
the crops and fruit.
