in Neighboring States.
Church Wrecked.

Heavy rains and hail trooped up from
the fringe of Spring sky yesterday and
drenched hundreds of persons who
sought relaxation in parks and along
the highways.

a prediction that general cloudiness
will be succeeded tomorrow by weather
fair and slightly warmer"
Rain recorded during 24-hour Pc
Rod yesterday afternoon and last
night was 1.61 inches The unofficial
comment of hundreds who CHANGED to
be at the base ball game between

streets and the Easements Of many resi-
dences were reported flooded.

wind, accompanied by driving rain,
thunder and lightning yesterday after
noon demolished the Holy Rosary
Church at Rosaryville, while a large
hay barracks on the historic Danger
field estate, near woodward, burned to
the ground after being struck by light

structures with a few hundred yards
escaped with few broken windows.

Witnesses say hundreds Of fragments
of timbers filled the air when the
church was lifted by the wind, many
of the flying fragments breaking win
dows in the nearby houses.

time, having been last used for mass
at $50 o'clock yesterday morning. The
storm struck it about 4:30 The church,
a towering frame building, about 80
feet high, was nearly IS years old. 1t
served as mission for colored people,
being under the Jurisdiction of St
Mary's Catholic Church at Upper Marl-
boro.
Rev. Francis j. Loughran, pastor of
st. Mary's parish, directed the task of
salvaging the wreckage this morning
and declared work would begin imme-
diately on the erection of new struc-
