we're here for the purpose of ac-

Violent Gale Accompanied by Rain
and Electrical Display
NO SERIOUS DAMAGE REPORTED
Rumor Said Craft Had Been capsiz-
ed, But Tugs Failed TO Find it-BIg
Vessels Drag Anchor In the Har-
Dor.

One Of the most severe wind. rain
and electrical storms of the summer
swept over this city and section about
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. but
SO far as has been reported no SER
ious damage was done. While the
storm was at its height. it was re
ported that sail beat was capsiZed in
the river off the shipyard. but all ef-
forst to confirm the report were I'M
successful.
The report was telephoned to the
Office of Captain w. n. Cooksey, sup
erintendent of floating property for
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, and
the ting Hinton steamed TO the scene.
Nothing was seen of the craft and
the tug turned about and steamed
down the harbor for Hampton.
IL was thought that the shipyard
tug Dauntless had rescued the party
and towed the boat 20 the shipyard,
but II was stated at the yard that moth
ing was known OF any boa cpsiZing.
lightning struck Andrew II. Swan
MES saloon 34O6 Huntington avenue,
knocking several bricke off t.Ie buiid
ing. A man leaning against the bar
in the place was slightly shocked.
but was not seriously injured.
That no serious damage was done by
the storm is rather remarkable. The
wind reached a velocity Of about fifty
miles an hour at one time and the
small craft in the harbor were tossed
about badly by wind and sea. Sever
al of the smaller craft were blown
ashore. but they escaped damage. On
~ two or three coal vessels were
anchored in the harbor and none of
them was damaged, although one
barge dragged anchor.
The high wind split the canvas Of
the tent in which the congregation
of the Calvary Baptist church Is wor-
shipping at Huntington avenue and
Forty eighth street. but the rent can
easily be repaired and the usual
services will be held there tomorrow.
