HAILSTONES
BIG AS EGGS
Wonder Why There We're Nc
Skulls Crushed in New
Castle County
NOBODY FOUND DEAD
UP AT HENRY CLAY

There are any number of scientists,
nature takers and students of the un-
usual who are trying today to figure
just how large is a New Castle county
hailstone. If there is any place where
they grow larger ones than in the Vi
cinity of Wilmington, the sharps
haven't discovered it yet, and, accord
ing to the reports of last nights storm
from various parts of the county, they
will not.
AT the latest report New Castle and
Richardson Park averaged about $50
per cent. in the hailstone race. New
port-where big things are expected
is pushing the leaders closely. and the
hailstone reports from there are grow
ing even now.
No Skulls Crushed.
There wasn't anyone found dead in
New Castle with his skull crushed in
this morning; but the residents of that
suburb cannot understand why there

there found some nice, juicy hall
stones as big as hen eggs last night,

to that challenge.

about 432 inches.
It rained, blew and thundered and
lightning flashed as it had during the
previous storms, and several persons
were hurt An innovation was a
pelting Of hail
In the midst Of the excitement an
alarm Of fire was sounded from box
No. Z, which is located opposite the
Opera House. The firemen responded
in the drenching rain only to find
there was no fire. II was later
learned that the auxiliary system at
the Hartmann and Fehrenback Brew
ing Company was effected, causing
box No. 73, at the corner of Lowering
avenue and Scott street, with which
it is connected, to strike, but only
registered on the indicators in the
engine houses.
Bolt Hits Woman.
The most serious accident during
the storm was that in which Miss
Elizabeth Buchanan, aged is years, Of
No. COS South Van Buren street, fig
ured She is employed by the New
Castle Leather Company and was
hurrying home when the storm broke.
She reached Sixth and French streets
and was In front of the Delaware Fire
Company's house when a bolt Of
lightning struck her. She was en-
veloped in fire. and how she escaped
instant death is a mystery. She was
knocked unconscious and was carried
into the engine house, the Phoenix
ambulance later removing her to the
Delaware Hospital, where she was re-
viyed.
Man and Cart Under Tree.
Another accident due to the storm
occurred at Shallcross avenue and
Van Buren, street An empty cart to
which was attached two horses own
ed by Hamilton Stewart. and driven
by Charles Gibson, colored. was pass
ing at that point when lightning
struck a tree and toppled it over like
a ten-pin. Gibson and the team were
caught under the tree which complete

across the seat of the wagon he had
occupied was a branch of the tree
fully a foot thick, which. if it had
struck him, would have resulted SER
iously.
Rescuers found the man in the body
Of the cart between forks of the tree.
He was bruised and cut, and the
horses we're slightly injured.
Lightning struck Samuel Podolsky's
house at No. 424 West Front street,
and travelled through every room,
knocking plaster from the walls, over
turning furniture and breaking dish
es. Mrs. Podolsky was injured by
falling plaster.
The home of Emerson Van Gelder,
at No. 1914 West Sixth street, was
struck and the chimney knocked
off.
During the storm many streets
were flooded, so terrific was the down
pour of rain, and children had a big
time after the storm padding about

Escape Of Prisoner From Pen In 1s4o
Is Cleared Up.


Columbus, o., Feb. 27.--A mystery
of an escape at the Ohio penitentiary
more than 70 years ago was cleared
when prisoners at work tearing down
one of the abandoned buildings
found a few fragments of human
bones in an old tunnel which they
uncovered. +.
The bones are thought to be all
that remains OF Scott Maythe. who,
the records of the pen show, escaped
from the institution on July Z. 1870.
From that time until the present
nothing has been heard OF him. The
records at the pen show that it was
suspected that Maythe was in hiding
somewhere in the pen and that other
prisoners carried food to him.
