DAMAGE BY STORMS
REMARKABLE FALL OF HAIL IN
 ALABAMA.
Vegetation Destroyed in Pike, Marengo and LOwndes, Where the Ice
 Cones Were of Unusual

Selma, April S.-(Special.) )-One of the most severe hail storms that has visited Central Alabama in recent years occurred in that section of the county between Central Mills and Blalock's. on the Myrtlewood branch of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad, yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
 The hail fell in torrents over sec- tion of the country at least five, miles wide and caused considerable damage to crops and fruits.
 storm of yesterday afternoon was brought to Selma this morning by pas sengers on the train from Myrtlewood. The fall of the hail is said to have lasted nearly half an hour and the stones were as large as walnuts. Oth- CTS state that they averaged an inch in diameter.
 It is said that after the fall of the hail it was an easy matter for any one to have gone out In yard or field and to have picked the hail up by shovels full. It broke the limbs and buds from the fruit trees and almost totally ruined the fruit crop in that section of the State.
 Hail fS reported to have fallen in large quantities in the southern and eastern part of Dallas County late yes- terday afternoon and last night. In both localities a good deal of damage Is said to have been caused both to fruit and to the crops and vegetables.

the powder in the forward magazine of the ship, caused by heat from spon- taneous combustion in the coal bunk CTS. This conclusion Is said 10 nave been strongly supported by the survey of the contractors wbo undertook to raise the wreck Their divers made very different reports from those gtv- en to the court of inquiry shortly after the tragedy, and maintain that almost all the damage is found In the forward part of the ship in the neighborhood of the magazine; that there are unmis- takable evidences of a hot fire in the coal bunkers immediately next to the magazine, with nothing but a sheet of iron ne-fourth of an inch thick be- tween the fire and the powder.
 This. of course. Is not conclusive. It is only a theory, but the contrac- tors declare that they can demonstrate its truth If they are allowed to use dynamite to separate the machinery and other heavy material so as to hoist 1t to the surface of the water and place if on lighters. They insist, too, that the reason why the Navy Department opposes the removal of the wreck is its fear of disagreeable disclosures. They recall the fact that while the peace commission was sitting in Paris the Spanish government demanded an international Investigation of the cause of the explosion. which the United States would not permit, on the pre- text that 1t was inexpedient and un- necessary to revive the discussion. The advocates of the accidental theory re- mind you of several cases of spontan- eous combustion in the bunkerI of the United States naval vessels. and refer to the suicide of the officer who had charge of the forward magazine on the Maine. They declare that the req sons given in the newspapers for his suicide are not sufficient.
 There is a curious story connected with the explosion of the Maine which has had considerable weight with su- perstitious people, and also with hard headed, practical, sensible men, like Senator Frye. Admiral Bradford and others from the State of Maine. who know the character and antecedents of the wife of a druggist in the City of Lewiston, who saw tue tragedy re- hearsed in a dream the night that 1t occurred.
