eastern exposure that escaped damage.
The strongest plate glass skylights were
punctured by the hailstones, which fell
In torrents.
Residents OF Mount Washington and
Arlington said that some of the hail was
as big as guinea eggs. and as matter
of fact the fall OF hail was so terrific
that II caused nearly a dozen teams to
become unmanageable The horses took
fright and plunged from the control of
the drivers. one driver was thrown from
his team aod sustained a fractured arm.

UPPER MARLBORO. June 13.-Sev-
eral severe electric storms. accom-
panied by high winds. have passed over
the southern part of Prince Georges
county since Saturday evening, result
ing in much damage to tobacco crops.
A terrific hail and wind storm visited
the vicinity of Brandywine Saturday
evening, extending over an area of
from three to four miles.
A large barn, located on the prem
ises of A. T. Robinson was blown
down, three cows being killed and
buried under the debris. The barn
was stocked with a large crop of last
years tobacco. which is practically
ruined. The wind also uprooted many
trees and laid low his wheat crop. Mr..
Robinson's loss is estimated at $500.
Mrs. Hunt. residing near Brandywine,
lost two cows when barn on the
place was blown down, and the hail
did considerable damage to growing crops

Greenhouses Damaged.

Probably the greatest damage was sus-
tanned by the proprietors of greenhouses,
for the hail literally rained through the
glass roofs of the structures. and cut
thousands OF dollars worth of valuable
plants TO pieces. The big glass side OF
the bowling alleys OF Electric Park was
a striking example of the pounding effect
Of the hail The glass windows resem-
bled well used targets for a stone battle.
There was hardly a window that escaped
destruction. The damage to one side
alone was estims 4 at $500. Entire rows
Of houses were swept clear OF windows
by the avalanche of hail. Thousands Of
birds were killed by being struck by the
hail and drowned by the veritable cloud
bursts Of water.
The roads Of the Green Spring valley
were flooded TO an impossible degree and
Jones Falls and the other streams drain
ing the surrounding country were flooded
TO the edges of their banks. Owing TO
the drought of the past month. however.

LIGHTNING STRIKES CHURCH.
Commencement Exercises at Peddie
Institute Nearly End Tragically.

HIGHSTOwN. n. j.. June 13.-The
first day Of commencement week at
Peddie Institute, Baptist preparatory
school here, came near ending tragic
ally last night when lightning struck
the steeple of the Baptist Church,
where more than a thousand persons
were crowded together to hear the an
nual orations of the graduating class.
Panic reigned when the bolt struck
and shattered the 20O-foot steeple and
sent 1t crashing to the earth. Instantly
every light in the building was extin-
guished. and the upper part of the
structure caught fire in a dozen places.
A panic. which might have resulted in
the death OF many. was averted by the
cool-headed orchestra leader. who di-
rected his men to strike up The Star
Spangled Banner in the darkness. The
effect was magical. and the outrush of
the audience was Steamed. Fifty women
tainted or collapsed before the ushers
could getathe crowd out OF the building,

Narrowly Escapes Death.

One Of the most fortunate escapes from
death ever reported at Arlington occurred
shortly after o'clock. James Clark, a
carpenter. on his way home from hts
daily toll. was caught in a downpour OF
rain and hail. The hail was sharp and
heavy and it forced the carpenter to seek
shelter So Clark ran over to the brick
yard Of the Arlington Brick Company and
found a snug place under brick rack
During the storm he heard several or the
brick fall from the racks and few min
utes later he heard the brick rack crack
The man jumped from his shelter and
Just as he cleared the rack the shed col
lapsed and several tons OF brick fell to
the earth. ,
The people of Mount Washington and
vicinity had good warning Of the ap-
preaching storm. Distant thunder ana
occasional flashes Of lightning told of
the approaching gale. but the majority
thought it was an ordinary summer

storm rage, and from all points or the
compass came tales of disaster and ruin

storms about twenty minutes apart. Inc

gale and light rain. The rain fell heav-
Ter and heavier, and the SECOND STORM IN
caught the suburban bound folk, ana
thousands were soaked as they left the
cars and ran to their homes.
Trees were stripped OF their foliage,
flower gardens were cut to the ground
and through the open country great dam
age was reported from the farmers, es-
pecially to corn and garden truck. To-
mato vines by the thousands were split
and laid fat on the inundated fields. In
ali directions the reports of falling glass
could be heard. The tracks of the cleo
trio railways from the Mount Washington
viaduct to Mount Washington Heights
were covered with ice. not frozen there,
but tons Of white, icy hail. In some places
the hail had drifted justlike snow.

PARDON SOUGHT.
Catholic Societies Endeavor to Re
lease Two Political Prisoners.

MONTREAL June 13.--Irish Catholic
societies throughout Canada will mako
a determined effort to secure the par
don Of two Irish Catholics, political
prisoners and former citizens of the
United States, who have served almost
twelve years in the Kingston, Ont
penitentiary.
The prisoners are James Nolan and
Luke Dillon, alias Carl Delman, con-
victed of an attempt to blow up a
lock of the Welland canal. 1t is urged
that the evidence on which the men
were convicted was purely circumstan1
tial and that by their twelve years Of
imprisonment they have expiated
their alleged crime. which did little
damage. Coronation week is usually
marked by the liberal use Of the par
don throughout the empire.
