ELECTRIC STORM
CAUSES DAMAGE
That of Yesterday Afternoon Was
Responsible for One Death
and Several Fires.

Lightning killed one man, set fire TO
several barns and damaged innumeralbe
trees and houses during the brle but vio-
lent onset of wind, rain, hail and thunder
bolts that fell upon the city yeterday
afternoon and returned for on encore
last night The dead man is Byron Ross
26,
About 4 o'clock the sultry atmosphere
was torn by savage gusts OF wind. An
inkv cloud bore down from the northwest.
As the ragged edges of the cloud came over
the citv. rain poured down in sheets,
slashed bv the wind. Hailstones, frozen
so hard that they remained on the street
for some time in spite of the high tenn
perature. beat down with the rain, some
of them three-eighths of an inch IN diane
ter. In few moments the streets became
rivers, and little cascades poured from
every eve-trough.
Throughout the storm tongues OF lght~
ming shot through the air and struck with
a sharp detonation, echoed in long rumbles
of thunder One bolt hit the tower of the
Brandvwine fire house, spllntcrlng the
wood and ripping off the slate but not
endangering the building Three houses
were hit in South Wilmington.
Scaffolding at the Harlan shipyard col
lapsed when the storm struck it. The men
were forewarned, and no one was injured.
Electric circuits were broken for time
throughout the city, and the current at the
Independence Fire Co. house, Twelfth
and Clavmont streets, was cut oil for u
considerable time.
The apparatus Of he Wilmington Il Phila-
dclphia traction Co. and of the telephone
company was damaged by the electricity

practically no poles or wires were down as
a result of the storm. Damage 10 trees was

APPRECIATE WORK
OF MOTOR CORPS
Red Cross Aids Hospital in Treat
ing Hundreds of Pa
ticnts.

Great appreciation for the work OF the
Red Cross Motor Corps was expressed by
members Of the Board Of Directors Of the
Delaware Hospital at the monthly meet
ing of the board which was held in the
Delaware hospital Thursday morning,
With the increased cost Of maintenance
and the necessarily increased cost OF
household and nursing expenses, It would
be impossible for the Delaware hospital
and other similar organizations TO provide
the necessary motor and ambulance serv-
ice to meet eli the demands as such nstitu-
tions, AT this time, are struggling 20 make
both ends meet and endeavoring by the
most skilfui management TO live within
their means.
Many incidents Of the most valuable
and touching services given by the Red
Cross Motor Corps were cited. The work
OF returning convalescent patients to their
homes. calling for them daily and bring
ing them back for their necessary trent
ments, rs well as meeting emergency
cases, was commented upon most favor
ably.
The Motor Corps ia of special value in
connection with the Orthopadic Clinic,
where children are brought daily, often
from great distances. for treatment for the
after effects Of lnfantIe paralysis. Many
Of these children could not possibly have
the benefit of these treatments unless
transportation was provided, as in many
eases the mothers have daily occupation
or have no one at home with whom to
leave the other children, while one child ls
taken to the hospital. This task, the
Motor service carries out with such
unfailng regularity that the children
receive the maximum benefit Of the treat
ment. the good results Of which depend to
a great extent upon its regularity.
The Delaware Hospital is only one OF
many of the hospitals and organizations
with which the Motor Corps co-operates.
The Rcd Cross surgical dressings group,
which met Mt Westminster during the
war. still meets every Tuesday morning
and makes surgical dressings under the
direction of Mrs Henry NJ. Hopes.
During the last FIVE months %, 600 surgical
/ dressings have been supplied 10 the Della
ware Hospital by this group Great appre-
i citation Of these dressings was expressed
/ both 10 the report and in the discussion.
i With the existing conditions today and
| the shortage Of nurses, it would have been
| impossible for either the nurses in training
/ or those on duty To have made these dress
/ ings. and had these dressings not been
/ supplied by " estminster Church Branch
| Of the Red Cross, the hospital would have
j been greatly handicapped IN its work
II i earnestly desiredby the members
j of the board that the women who have so
generously contributed their time and
work in making surgical dressings will
/ continue this work while the need Is still
/ so pressing
