 At the new Majestic theater, Ninth and Main streets, the tar roof there was badly damaged and water literally rained into the building In places. Seevral hum dred electric light globes were broken. Electric signs at other places were useless last night.
 The streets of the city before and af- ter were like rivers. Carriages were in water up to the hubs and in many parts of the city cellars were flooded The damage done to fine shade trees WAS great. The hailstones seemed to cut massive limbs from the trees like they had been chopped off with axes. Magnolia trees were stripped Of their buds and rose bushes and oth- CT flowers beaten to the ground.
 From the Walker place, four miles above the city, comes the report that the hailstorm was not so heavy. C. H. Winfrey telephoned to Pine Bluff this morning and stated that the crops were not damaged to any extent there. He said the lower places in that part of the county were flooded, however, and the country roads impossible The heavy rainfall was the worst feature of the storm in that section
 At Altheimer, the hailstorm was very light, but at Lake Dick near there, the storm was equally as bad as at this place. Hail stones as large as goose eggs fell there for several minutes and killed the growing crops.
 Many small birds were killed during the storm. Thousands of sparrows were beaten to death by the hail and other birds were found dead in the yards and on the streets in the resi- dence sections of the city.
