Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Camden, July IA severe
thunderstorm, preceded by u
heavy wind squalI, passed over
Camden yesterday afternoon and
blew down the west wing of the
new hotel in the course of erection
in Kirkwood. The framework of
this wing had Just been complet>
ed. The storm board had been
nailed on in parts, and the whole
was put up in as substantial a
manner rs possible. The wind
seems to have settled in the struc-
ture, which was four stories high
and 12O feet long, and coIIaps-
ed like card house while the old
part of the house and new east
wing were not damaged. 1t will
take about a month to rebuild the
collapsed portion of the hotel.
Whether or not the loss is covered
by insurance could not be ascer-
tanned. The wind storm also did
some damage to trees in various
parts of the town, and to the tele-
phone wires.
