CARTERsv1LLE, VA. May 25.-The
most terrific storm Of its kind that has
been witnessed in this section of country
for forty years swept over Cartersvlle
and adjoining farms Sunday afternoon,
leaving in It's track destruction and
waste.
The storm seems to have been at its
worse a few miles from here-perhaps In
Goochland county just across the river.
Balls OF hail larger than a partridge's
egg, beat down thick and fast. tearing
the leaves from tho trees, beating out the
window panes and literally destroying
the wheat crops and gardens.
So terrific was the wind, hall and rain
that houses across the street could not
be seen, and to-day marks made by the
pelting of the hail are plainly visible on
the houses. Wagons were blown away
from where they were left, carriages
blown over, chairs were blown from
porches into the streets, fences were torn
down and windows shattered In numbers
OF houses.
Great limbs were wrenched from the
trees and the vegetables In the gardens
were beat down to the ground. In many
cases. the wheat crop is entirely de-
stroyed. being beaten down and covered
with the mud and dirt. The hail storm
lasted for nearly half an hour, and
some of the oldest citizens Of the place
say they have never seen one to equal It.
The rains have left land In good plow-
ing condition and the farmers in their
busy work preparing for the corn crop
are losing sight of the losses they have
sustained,

TO LEAVE
RICHMOND
Reported That Clyde Ships
Will Be Withdrawn.
SERlOUSLOSSTO THE CITY
Three Hundred Richmond Men Said to
Receive Work From This Old Land-
mark Company Shallow Har-
Dor One Of Causes.

1t was reliably reported yesterday that
the Clyde line of steamships would cease
operating vessels between Richmond and
Philadelphia, and from Monday next
would discharge and receive Richmond
freight at Newport News, where re-
Gently the company secured n landing.
The news that the Clyde line will sus-
pend operations In Richmond will be
source ofregret to ALL and will be learned
with much surprise by many, for 1t Is
not generally known that the company
has been contemplating such a move.
However, the Chamber OF Commerce has
been apprised of the intention of the
company. it is said, and this organiza-
tlon is now exerting every effort to dis
suade the officials from the step.
That the removal Of the wharves of the
Clyde line from Richmond to Newport
News will be q serious blow to this city
is not to be doubted. when 1t is known
that the company operates a regular
through freight line to and from Plr!n-
deIpIlia, ard gives employment to no less
than 3no people in this city, all of whom
will either be out of employment or will
be taken to Newport News.
SHALLOW IIARBOR HERE.
It is understood that the steamship
company is making the change because
by landing at Newport News they Will
be enabled practically to do the same
amount Of business without journeying
so Iar up HtIl6 river. Cnei7epy sHul lciilils
the time and saving much In the operat-
Ing expenses.
But while. of course. the question of
money and time had much to do with
the determination Of the company. 1t is
understood that the deplornble condition
of the Richmond harbor also had much
weight. 1t is known that recently sew
eral vessels have gone aground near the
local wharf of the company.
The james River commission Is at pres
ent having the harbor dredged, and Will
in a short time. ms soon as a new dredg-
Ing outfit is secured, make the entire
harbor navigable.
No local officials Of the Clyde line. In
a position to speak with authority. could
be seen yesterday In regard to the mat
ter. but there seems no doubt MS to the
truth of the report, which is supported
BY the fact that only recently the COM
panty secured landing at Newport
News and announced their intention Of
making this port.
In the event the Clyde line operates
only as far as Newport News after next
week. as STATED. all freight between
Richmond and Philadelphia will be trans
ported as far rs tho port by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad.
