visited by miniature cyclone yesterday
afternoon and for a time it was feared
that severe storm was about TO break
over the city
Lowering clouds in the westerly sky
shortly after o'clock made it almost
as dark as a winter evening and the wind
increased in velocity every moment. Fish
ermen upon the river hurriedly took in
their nets and made for shore through
the wind-lashed waves. The storm, how
ever proved to be Of short duration and
consisted principally Of a blow which
banged shutters and spread the city over
with clouds OF dust making it impossible
to see any distance. The only damage !
reported was the blowing over of N net |
rack on the battery which was owned by |
Charles Lancaster.
During last evening rain fell heavily /
and the temperature fell with il. The |
thermometer at 7 o'clock this morning |
marked 40 degrees, a drop Of over 30 de-
grees in IS hours.
