Martin. of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. Mr. Martin ap-

Storm of July Is, 1915, Only Exceeded
By the Great Storm of
September, 1885.

For one hour on last Thursday aft
ernoon, from 6 to Z o'clock, there was
a most terrific electrical and rain
storm, accompanied by much high
wind. The rainfall was 3.20 inches,
against inches in the storm of 1886
when people living in the bottoms OF
SCOTS creek had to be rescued by
rafters. The storm of last Thursday
came from the west, but there was a
continual shifting of winds. At one
time the wind was very high. The
lightning flashed and the thunder
roared, it seemed, as never before.
The storm was both grand and
frightening. While very severe, there
were no casualties, and the damage
was confined to the blowing down OF
corn and some trees, within the city
and the limits of this township, as the
storm covered only this territory.
The worst damage was done to the
telephone and electric light connec-
tions. Between Is and 80 phones
were put out of commission for a while

which fell across the electric light
