HAIL, IT'S FORMATION.
Hail is connected with whirlwinds, more
or less developed; aud it is when the hail
storm is an attendant on a tornado or on a
great thunderstorm that it assumes its
most destructive form, carrying devastation
through narrow belt of land usually of
considerable length.
The theory Of the formgEion of hail has
been given by Ferrel in his Meteorological
Researches for the Use Of the Coast Pilot, 4
part ii, p. IS. The vapour carried upwards
by the vertical gyrations Of the tornado, is
below certain height, condensed into cloud
and rain; but above that height into snow.
Now, when the raindrops formed below are
carried higher up into the cold snow regions
by the powerful ascending currents of the
tornado, and are kept suspended there a
little while, they become frozen into clear
hard hail. If these hailstones be now
thrown quite outside the gyrations of the
tornado, they fall to the earth as shower
of compact homogeneous hailstones of clear
ice Of ordinary size. But should they be
caught in the descent and carried in towards
the vortex by the infowing aerial current
on all sides, they are again rapidly carried
aloft into the freezing region. A number
of such revolutions of ascent and descent
may be made before they ultimately fail to
the earth. While high up in the snow
region the hailstenes receive coating of
snow; but while in the region lower down,
where rain, yet anfrozen, is carried up,
they receive coating of solid ice. In this
way alternate coabings Of ice aud snow are
received, and the number of each sort in
dicates the number of ascents and desoents
performed before the hailstone falls to the
ground. When the nucleus is eempact
snow, as it usually IS, the hailstone has its
origin high up in the snow region as small
ball Of snow or soft bail.

The League Tennis Tournament.

The League Of West jersey Eield Clubs,
which was organized some years ago for the
purpose of bringing the best tennis players
Of this part of the State together, has succeed
ed to market degree.
The interest shown this year, in the reg,
ular League tournaments already held is
greater than ever before.
Every year there are five of these tourn-
aments held, each Club conducting one on
its horne courts
Two tournaments have already been play
ed this season, the first at MerckantvilIe
and the second at Haddonfeld. The stand
ing of the Clubs at present is as follows
Moorestown 8 points
Woodbury. points.
Haddonfield 2 points.
Beverly ? points.
MerehantYille Q points
be held on Saturday afternoon, July 9th, on
the Country Club Courts In the evening a
dance will be given in the Casino under the
direction of the Tennis Committee.
The League this year purchased new
Trophy Cup to be contested for under con-
ditions similar to those which governed the
Cup awarded last year. The Cup becomes
the permanent property of that Club which
wins it for three years, not necessarily con-
seoutive years, however
AS the rivalry is very keen and the con-
test for points is close the League Toura-
ment on the 9th on the Club Courts will be
unusual interesting.

stood fifteen inches deep and plants not
ruined by the hail were washed out Ct the
ground and carried off by the fierce wind.
Many farmers are plowing up their fields
and preparing to plant quick growing
crops.
While the storm seemed severe at

than few limbs blown from trees, and a
few fences blown down. The nearest

damage was done, but only slight compared
with others.

IN EAST GREENWICH.


The villages of Mt Royal Clarksboro
and Mickleton are all situate in East Green
wich, directly in the path Of the storm.
They are beautifully shaded residential
towns, the turnpike being the main street
Of each. All three are practically one
community. A majority of the residents
are farmers, whose well titled acres tell of
the thrift that radiates that section. Every
resident cultivates large truck patch
raising their own vegetables and much
fruit. The storm played havoc alike with
the great naples that skirt the turnpike,
the fruit trees, the gardens and the adjoin-
ing fields The heavy losers are Jos. Lodge,

Captain James McElwee's garden, is one of
the largest and finest in town, it and all his

are more destructive than those at sea.

THE STORM IN wooLwIcH.
lFrom our swedesboro Correspondent

The worst storm that ever visited this
section, came on suddenly on last Friday
evening between 9 and 10 O'Clock. The
air had been hot and sultry all day, and as
night closed in heavy cloud was seen in
the northwest, which gradually spread
over like a great black pail The sky
which had been inky black suddenly
changed its appearance to fiery red as if a
great confagration were raging, and almost
without warning the elements were let
loose and a terrible storm Of wind, hail,
rain and lightning was on carrying with it
ruin and destruction to crops, and heavy
loss to many hard working farmers who
were just beginning to market some of
their most paying ones.
The storm seemed to break just above
Bridgeport and the farms Of Thomas
Hewes, Theodore Hurf, James Roberts and
others in that immediate neigbborhood
were nearly swept clean; while on the
farms of Sumner B. Leap, Samuel Leap,
Walter r. Shoemaker, J. B. Shoemaker,
Fred While, Fred Folger, William Leap,
Henry Jones, Seth Warrington, Geo.

are dead loss Tomato fields suffered the
worst, the vines being broken and twisted

CAPT. SINCLAIR BROWNS.
Body Of Boat Master Found Near
Rainier Beach.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2S.-The
body of Capt. Charles w. Sinclair was
found in Lake Washington at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. It is believed that
he met his death accidentally last
Wednesday evening. He was master of
the gasoline launch Bismarck, and
had been missing since Wednesday.
Sinclair was a pioneer Of the Puget
sound country, having been born at
Port Madison, November IA, 1868. His
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Woodbury. Sin
clair, crossed the plains to the west
ern country with the first settlers here.
His father was one of the first settlers
of Snohomish, where the dead mans
relatives now live. The body will be
shipped there for interment
The last seen of Sinclair alive was
Wednesday evening when he left Rain
Ter Beach for Seattle at o'clock He
stated at that time that he was going
home, and had his lunch basket on his
"
arm.
When Capt. Sinclair did not appear
at his home a search was made for
him until his body was found. 1t is sup
posed that while walking over a tres
tie he stumbled in the dark and fell.
The body was found wedged between
a log and an embankment. He is be-
lieved to have struck the log with his
head when he fell. He was an expert
swimmer, and under ordinary circum-
stances his friends say, he would have
gained land in safety.
The body will be shipped to Snoho-
mish for interment. Deputy Coroner
Harry Arnold investigated the case
yesterday. No inquest will be held.

impossible to distinguish whether the

these wires was terrible. AS the Japa-

along the wires, and dozens of the

CONTEST FOR LEGISLATIVE SEAT.
T. A. White, May Try to Get Place
From G. c. kenoyer.

COLFAX. Nov. 2S.-The election Of
G. c. Kenoyer to the legislature from
the eighth representative district will
probably be contested by T. A. White,
a democratic nominee, who, according
to the Ocial returns, was eleven votes
behind Kenoyer in the race.
From sources quite close to Mr..
White and members of the democratic
executive committee. it is learned that
contest is more than likely when
the legislature meets, and it is under
stood that H. w. Garfield has been re-
tanned to represent Mr.. White before
the house of representatives. to which
his friends claim he was elected
PalOuse forty votes were illegally
counted for G. c. Kenoyer. The claim
is that forty republican ballots which
were marked with an X at the head of
the republican column had also been
marked with an X after the name Of J.
O. Hawkins, one of the democratic
nominees for representative in that
district. 1t is charged that the judge
having counted each of these ballots
as having voted for Mr.. Hawkins and
