SHADE TREES TORN UP.
Wednesday Nights Storm Up,
rooted Many Valuable Trees.

Tho storm Of wind and rain which
struck Richmond Wednesday night and
ragged for an hour or more was very Sc
we're, but not near SO severe here as IN
tho States north and south Of Rirnmond.
The West Indian storm was scverest. SO
far as The wind Is concerned. in the Car
olinas and especially the eastern por-
tons of those States, while tho rninSwas
heaviest in the coast States north Of Vir-
ginia. e.ssa.i7 a.
Richmond mad a rainfall OF 2.65 inches
which Is unua; ,a W heavy for tWcnty-tour
hours, but Washington, Baltimore and
New York report more than twice as
much the official records showing more
than five inches In all those cities and in
tile terriotry contiguous to them Inc
rain assumed the proportions Of cloud
burst The Temperature fell rapidly after
the storm hi this section. Yesterday the
mercury feeto IS andsit3lhoYcred between
that and 6S all day Last night was de-
cidcdly the coolest since early spring and
It was not difficult to believe that the
weather forecast Of light fros.s In noun
tain sections would prove correct.
The principal damage from the wind
storm here was in the prostration Of
wires Of every description at various
points and the uprooting and destruction
Of handsome shade trees. The naples,
always the greatest sufferers. were most
damaged by the blow. On Franklin Street
between oFurth and Fifth. half n dozen
handsome silver or sugar naples which
had been weakened by recent curDinG
work and grading close to the roots, were
,iprooted and hurled across tho sidewalks.
Limbs ana branches were torn from many
trees and the streets running from east
10 west were Altered with fallen leaves
and small bran -hes. whipped from tho
trees by the searching wind. Trees were
blown down in various portions OF the
city ant. in some cases partially blocked
The streets.
The damage to the wires Of the tele-
graph companies and the railway lines
was repaired early yesterday nnu the
wires were working as well as usual. The
telephone company also had lineman out
repairing damage 10 its wires.
