HAIL DOES GREAT
DAMAGE IN TEXAS

San Antonio, Texas, June 5.-Gla-
ziers are in demand here as the re-
suit of a severe hailstorm, which vis-
tied San Antonio and broke thou
sands of window panes in the city
Hailstones the size of a mans fist
fell in many parts of the city, while
in some places hailstones were picked
up which were the size of a baby's
head.
The average size was that of a hens
egg. Trees were stripped of their
foliage and crops were destroyed in
some sections.
1t is estimated that the damage
caused by the hailstorm will run in
to the thousands of dollars. The
hdilstorm was most severe in the
northern part of the city. 1t came
from the northwest and passed over
the city to the southeast
The storm lasted about 10 minutes.
Many chickens were killed by hail
stones i'm various parts of the city
and in one instance a horse was kill
ed.
The supply of window glass has
run low and the prices have gone up.
Rather than pay the high prices
there are many who will wait until
the rush is over. Timers and car
penters are also busy as a result of
the storm.
In some instances the hailstones
beat through the roofs while many
Shingle roofs and the shutters Of
blinds were splintered.
All unprotected passenger coaches
which We're standing in the Southern
Pacific yards, where there are no car
sheds since the irOnclad sheds were
destroyed by fire about ten years ago,
suffered, the window panes in all of
the cars fronting the north or west
being shattered. At the military post
there is not a window pane on the
north or west side which is not brok-
en-.

WEATHER FRIEND
OF UNlERTAKtRS

Chicago. June 5.--The weather has
been the undertakers' greatest friend
for the first five months OF the pres
ent year according to the statement
OF mortality for that period, issued
by w. A. Evans, NJ. D., commissioner
OF health for Chicago.
People have been dying in Chicago
during the period named at the
alarming average OF about 105 a day.
All told, there were Is, ,lO3 deaths
reported to the bureau of vital stat
lstics. This means an annual mortal
ity rate Of 1882 a thousand Of the
estimated population. This is one
sixth. OF 1871 per cent higher than
the rate for the corresponding per
iod OF last year. and 1874 per cent
higher than the average OF the previ-
Gus decade.
That the weather was the most
potent factor in causing this increase
OF deaths may be seen in the fact that
pneumonia killed S.090. which is 1852
more than last year; pulmonary con-
sumption. 6S5., and Influenza, 1852. or
6s more than last year

A POSTAGE STAMP
DEVICE IS WANTED
Machine to Print Names
of Offices.

Washington, ID. c., June 5.-There
is fine chance for some genius to
make his fortune by devising a plan
whereby the postoffice department
can print upon each postage stamp
the name of the town where it is
sold.
Last winter Postmaster General
Cortelyou came to the conclusion
that the name of each presidential
postoffice ought to appear upon the
stamps there dispensed, provided 1t
could be done without too much add
The motive for II was the great
aid 1t would be in detecting stamp
thieves. and In the way it would safe
guard the department against post
masters who hawk stamps outside
their legitimate territory for the pur-
pose of increasing the gross receipts
of their office, thus securing an in
crease of pay.
The project was submitted to a
commission composed of skilled post
office employees, and a careful inves-
tigation was made. with the result
that an adverse report was handed
in, on the ground that 1t was an i'm
practicable plan, owing to the delay
and expense involved.
1t had been intended that separate
plates should be engraved for the
principal cities, and that the stamps
for the smaller presidential offices
should simply be overprinted with
the name Of the place In ordinary
type.
This would involve something like
5000 changes in the printing press
while the names were being placed
upon the stamps, and the commits
sion reported that 1t would be so
expensive as to eat a large hole into
the stamp appropriation, and so it
was abandoned.
But the department has not ceased
to desire this distinctive mark for
stamps and If any person has head
enough to invent some way to auto
matically print the different names
while the stamps themselves are be-
ing printed, there ought to be a neat
fortune in 1t for him.

INDIAN ARROW HEADS.
Some That May He Found fin Southern
 Connecticut,

Several fine collections of arrow heads have been made from fields in close vicinity to Clinton, says "The Hartford CouranL" It is interesting to notice how many arrow heads are turned up each year in the newly turn ed turroWs. where the collector of ar rows heads may be often met plodding up and down searching Along the riy- CT banks and on the bottom of rivers is q good place to search, and some times small heaps of arrows are found in springs. Why they were ever put there is an unsOlyeI riddle.
 The Indians speared fish and this aC- counts for the arrows in the rivers, and doubtless the Indians followed the river along its bank hunting water fowl. Often an arrow head will be found which is not made of native stone, so the stone of which these ar go# heads arc made must have been imported or else they were brought by visiting or warning Inidans
 Save for one known exception, the lIdhiu8 Oi uIipN. uGtAAN '9 ~ 419t 1t 1' l. is stated that there is one western boy who awhile ago discovered how to make arrow heads the way the Indians used to. Some men who were inter ested in making arrow head collections, offered to educate this boy if he would not make the imitation arrow heads which were hard to distinguish from the real ones. The boy consented and 1. is now receiving his education,
 The white flint arrow heads are the most common in southern Connecticut but perhaps the finest specimens of workmanship are the arrow heads made of slate and shaped like a leaf. Charles Farnham of Clinton has an un- usual collection of native arrow heads.

SEWER UNDER TRACKS.
City and New Haven Road Engineers to
 Cooperate In Work,

The engineers of the New Haven railroad and of the city of New Haven are soon to commence to tunnel under the station yards and main tracks for the building of an overflow sewer,
 The sewer is to be in two sections, each six feet wide and three feet high. The tunneling will begin at Union ave- nue and come out on the horbor front opposite the station. The pipe will be submerged and will end two hundred feet out in the harbor, The ultimate idea is to have the present ube con meet with the one building at some fu- ture time.
 Railroad workmen have been em- ployed to drive the piles and superin- tend the tunneling under the railroad tracks also having in charge the work of supporting the tracks menatime, This will be the difficult part of the work as the jar of passing trains will tend to injure the tunnel.

SUICIDE BY HANGING. BAPTIST PASTORS WIFE It is Thought Mrs. Bolles Became Suddenly Insane
 and Ended Life.

Danbury, May 15.-Mrs. Charlton B. Bolles, wife of the pastor of the Sec ond Baptist church of this city, conn mitted suicide late last night by hang ing herself to a gas-jet in the bath room of her home on Fairview avenue. Mrs Bolles was twenty-two years old and @ native of Rockport, Mass. where her parents, MT. and Mrs. Everett Lane, reside. She had been married two years.
 There is no apparent reason for the suicide except the presumption that Mrs Bolles, who was in cheerful spir- its when last seen alive early last even ing, became suddenly insane. She had suffered from slight attacks of melan- hhola during the last few months, The deceased is survived by her husband and an infant son.

TREES IN LONDON.
MANY FLOURISH THERE
Mulberry Trees Planted There at Instance of
 King James,

It will surprise many to be told that the trees in the city of London can be counted by the thousand. Although some are prominently placed, many are hidden away in courts and backyards,
 standing as mementoes of a past gen. aration of residents who spent their days near where they stand. Others were probably planted on graves, and have been permitted to remain until they became of such stature as to be held in VeneratiOn on account of their age. Parts of London were originally woodlands, which have now almost disappeared, to make room for the pro- gressiVe industry of a great city. The destruction of trees through period of centuries over the areas selected for habitation was often ruthless process, but it was this clearing away of these beautiful attributes of nature from the surroundings of dwelling houses that gave rise to a passion among the oC- cupiers to renew acquaintance with them in their enclosures, either by bringing young plants from the coun- trysiie, or by raising them from seeds.
 The trees and shrubs in the city may be considered as fairly representing the kinds that can be trusted for planting in the closer quarters of all
 large towns, and those we mention may be useful when a question arises as to the most suitable trees for growing in smoky atmosphere. Considering the enormous value of land in the city area, and the immediate surroundings, it is not less surprising than pleasing to find so many trees enlivening it with their refreshing green6ry The old churchyards are, for the most part, the favored spots Whereon the trees are found, but the city still possesses a few genuine gardens, those of the Temple, Finsbury Circus, the Charterhouse, St. Giles, Cripplegate, and St. Bartholo- news hospital, abundantly justifying the care bestowed upon them by their beautiful appearance The garden of Finsbury Circus is probably the most extensive, and a walk round this beau tiful enclosure will inevitably suggest to any experienced observer that in planting a city garden, if the circum- ptelALACS dLt pAAIy Ld4A ly ltlNt VI tlDAEJ NC may make selection of deciduous trees and shrubs, as taste may direct, with out giving much heed to the question whether this or that is suited to a smoky atmosphere. When the city trees are reviewed during the month of May the lime is pre-eminent for beauty. As 1tha summer advances the plane will acquire its proper splendor, and the brilliant coloring of the lime will wane.
 The mulberry is found nourishing in the city. Its origin there arose through the rapid increase in wealth, causing an extraordinary expenditure upon clothes, the wives and daughters Of rich city merchants wing with the
