A Tortindo Rwroim Over tho City-Thnndor and l.laMnliiin Knl" ""' Hall-Damage Done by Ui Warrln Kmeats. Vostertay dawned light and fair, the heavens were mottled with but few scnddlng clouds, offering no rcflstance to the brilliant rays of the sun, who rose In majesty, and started on his diurnal course in glory. The Sabbath morn was quiet, and through scented air church bells rang with cheery Invitations to worship. Multitudes of the devout, enticed by the beauty of the day, and impelled also, it Is fair to pre sume, by a sense of religious duty, wended their way to church. Save for protection against Old Sol's sweating heat, none carried umbrellas, for none apprehended a storm, fcre service was over, however, the sky low ered in darkness, heavy masses of sombre-hued clouds gathered In density, the sun hid his face, the winds were let loose, and th suspended waters, startled from their pendant fullness by the thander, came down In torrents. Plank were the faces in the pews, sought were the awnings in the street. This was but a shower; nevertheless, a precursor of the deluge which was to follow later In the day. It lasted a brief while, kindly withholding Its wrath at noon, and pcimiltlng those who liad gone to church reiv ing on a promise of quiet weather, afforded by the smiling face of the sky In the morning, to return unwetted. Rut now came the more serious time. While the worshippers were felicitating themselves on their escape, what were the elements doing ? The storm-clouds were again mustering, and in thicker columns; the lightnings were playing; the thunder rattling; ami the wind tossing. During the afterii(0u and early evening some three or four storms of the rudest kind wind, rain, hall, and thunder drenched, frightened, and damaged the city. The most disastrous occurred between 5 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The rain was preceded by the wind, which did ita work effectually, unrooting and demolishing build ings, uprootltiK trees and destroying growing crops; then the hail ami lightning followed, completing the (lestructlt n. In the lower part of the city, partlcula-ly in the First, Twenty-oixth, and Twenty-seventh wards, the wind blew a perfect hurricane and the hail covered the ground to a depth of half an inch. The storm appeared to spend its fury about the neiglilwirhood of Front, and Fifth and Milllln streets. In that locality the greater damage was done. The wildest excitement reigned among the people of thut section of our city. The most exaggerated rumors of destruction to life and property were started, and secured credence. Fortunately, when the sum of the damuge could be obtained, it was found that the storm had been more kindly than was supposed. So far as known no human lives were lost, but property was damaged to the extint of many thousands of dollars. Scores of chimneys were either thrown down or nartlv wrecked. Telcgranh poles were projtrated. and the wires twisted and broken. Hundreds of fruit and shade trees were uprooted ami rendered worth less. Limbs were broken olF of other trees, shrub bery was ruined, llowers were scattered and torn np. and a scene of devastation was visible wherever the whirlwind held swav. Great damage was done to the crops of cereals and vegetables in what Is known as the Meek and portions of tne 1 wenty-seventn ward. Many iieius of grain look as if rollers had passed over them. Miles of fences have been demolished and numbers of fowls killed. The direction of the main storm was southeasterly. It raged for more than half an hour. Among the properties destroyed and Injured were the following: The lower depot of the Fifth and Sixth Streets Passenger Railway Company, a long frame structure on a lot Just north of Moore street, and extending through from Fifth to Sixth streets, was struck lv the wind and dashed to pieces. scarcely a timber being left upright. Many pieces of the splintered boards were carried over a square distant bv the gale. About the time the wind struck the building a terriblo clap of thunder oc curred, and, from the appearance of some of the fragments of the destroyed depot, it Is believed thut we ngntmng struct: it, ami may nave ueen msirii, mental in the work of destruction. The roofs of two brick houses on the south side of Mifflin street, above Front, were lifted into the air by tne force or tne wind, ami were carried a con siderable distance, alighting on an open lot. The roofs of two small houses In what is known as the "Ten-Gun Battery," in the same locality, shared a similar fate, as did hIso the roof of the Greenwich M. E. Church ; the roofs of two houses and Fifth and Close streets, tne rooi oi a nouse on utsego street, above Mifflin. tne roois oi jnos. 846 and 2-IS Siegel ' street, the roof of a building at Fifth and McClaln Btreets the roofs of two buildings at Sharp's foundry, Second and Milllln streets, the roof of a shed at the coal yard, Second nn.l 1'nDl-,, Enna .., tiWltt ,1 11,1 1 1 fna l (111,1 iurM:i psDi lin ..irvuin.i n v iivu.mm v i v. v. , i- wich streets, and numerous other roofs in thut locality. The bone factory of Tasker & Clark, on Otsego street, below Mlttlin, and the fencing around JNorth, C 'Untie Norm 8 factory were blown uown. In addition to those mentioned, portions of the roofs of some fifteen or twenty other houses in the same vicinity were more or less damaged, by the fitorm. On Keohler's lane and Otsego street, four dwellings were unroofed. Thev are three-story brick nouses. and were covered with shingles. The roofs were taken off at the same time, and carried two or three hundred yards. The dwellings were occupied by John Powell, William Britton, William Smith, and Isaac Beckett. A short distance south of the destroyed depot two new brick dwelling houses, on-Hoffman street, west of Fifth, which were ready to receive the joists of the second floor, were demolished. At Fifth and MeKean etreeet, a half square further south, the roof was lifted bodily from the dwelling of Mr. Jacob Myers, and carried about a hundred yurus, lauing into a irucK garaen on me opposite side of the street. The roof was composed of inch boards, covered with tin. and the whole was carried off together. Much rain falling afterwards, Mr. Myers' household effects suffered, and the interior of tne building is uamagen. The bone factory of Messrs. Tasker Clark, be. fore mentioned, is a large building in four sections, and the roof of each section was carried away ai'.d fell several hundred yards distant, some of the planks penetrating the earth to the depth of four or five feet. The roof was a gravel one, and the board sheathing was lifted up with the felting and the gravel. A brick school-house on Greenwich street, below Movamensing avenue, was partially unrooted. The scene of destruction was visited after the storm hud abated, bv a large number of persons. The storm likewise raged with great severity In the vicinity of Haddington. The summer residence of Robert G. Mercer, Esq.. at Slxtv-tifth and Vine streets, was damaged. A portion of the portico was blown clown, and a number of fruit trees levelled with the ground. A Woman Beaten Adam Menock waa charged before Alderman Carpenter this morning with as sault and battery on Eliza Pollltt, at No. i2ll South Front street. It seems that Adam went into this place, and. after asking for her, struck her and Knocked tnree teetti out or iter moutn. lie was bound over for trial.

Carroll Brewster, Another Stabbino Affrat At a late hour on Saturday considerable excitement was causel among the boarders at the Eagle Hotel, on Third street, below Vine, by the report that a murder had been committed In one of the upper rooms of the house. An Investigation proved that one Thomas Dillon, the head cook, and Thomas Drurty, the hea l waiter, had got Into an altercation, during which the former was seriously stablied. It seems that Dillon went to bed between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening. Shortly before 12 o'clock (midnight), Drudy, who slept In the same apartment, entered It with alighted caudle. Dillon requested him to extinguish it at once. Drudy refused, and the two got Into a quarreL Dillon got out of bed, snatched the candle from Drudy, threw it to the floor, and again got Into his bed. The two kept up the quarrel for several min utes, and finally Dillon jumped out and seized Drudy and pushed him with great force agalnBt the wall. The latter threatened to stab him If he repeated the assault, and finding that he was disposed to do so. took from his pocket a long-bladcd penknife ami jabbed It seven or eight times into the person of Dil lon, and then ran Into the hallway calling "murder" in a loud tone, saying he had cut Dillon. The latter was not aware that he had been stabbed until he emerged from the room, when he found blood trick ling down his limbs. He fell exhausted to the floor, and was carried to his apartment and medical aid summoned. In the meantime Drudy had delivered himself into the custody of the police. The Injuries to Dillon were found to be serious. Two of the cuts were In the breast, three in the back, and the others about the limbs. One of the Incisions penetrated to the lung. Ills condition Is considered precarious. Drudy claims that he committed the deed in self defense. He is represented as a quiet, industrious man, whilst Dillon is of an excitable and quarrel some nature. Dillon was doing well this morning, and it la barely possibly that he may recover. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Opening to Whitk Sulphur SI'kinos.

On Saturday night, at 10-80 o'clock, a difficulty occurred at a barber shop at 2o. loov boutn r.ieventn Btreet, kept by John li. Rhinehart. who has as a partner Mrs. Andrew Showers. The husband of Mrs Showers has been absent from the city for the past six years, when he returned, and has been in the place several times, claiming a share of the prolits of the concern. Ou Saturday night he went there and drew a revolver. which he discharged, the ball taking effect in the leg of Rhinehart, who then seized a razor and slashed right and left at Showers, who received several gashes, but none of which were serious. Both were arrested and taken before Alderman Bonsall, who held them for triaL Tns Board of Health and the Condition op the Stkbrts. The condition of Catnao street, be tween Master and Jefferson streets, at the present time, is positively annoying to the residents In th at locality. The main sewer by which the properties are drained has been choked for some time, and the Board of Health waa notified six weeks ago of the difficulty, but as yet no workmen have been assigned to clear the sewer. The consequence has been that during the heavy thunder storms of the past week the cellars of the houses have all had water In them.

Tile street Is prcatly ex cited this morning over the announcement just made of tlio robliery of the Ocean National Bank, wblch is situated on the corner of Green wich nnd Fulton streets. The total amount stolen, which consisted mostly of bonds, checks, and securities, is estimated at about two millions of dollars. The burglars succeeded in making good their escape, and the fact that the bank had suffered any loss was not known until tho opening of tho vaults this morning. A short time since parties secured a room directly under the bank for the alleged purpose of carrying on the broker business. The vaults of tho bank were reached by cut ting through the ceiling of this room, and it is now definitely known that the pretended brokers were expert English thieves, who have been arranging in a very quiet manner to rob the in stitution for the past two months. The bank was compelled to close its doors this morning until 11 o'clock, when the officers promised to resume business as heretofore. Other banks and money dealers are coining . forward with assistance, id it is hoped, upon closer examina tion, the total loss will not be as large aa now reported. Two mail-bags of gold coin were fonnd in the gutter near tho bank by the porter, early this morning, which was the first intima tion thnt a robbery had taken place. A New Holiday.

Upon our inside pages will be found a graphic account of the embarkation of eltiiit hundred filibusters from New York. From this morning's New York papers we glean sonic additional in formation: The Expedition on Its War. The Times remarks: It was currently re ported yesterday that the Cuban filiUusters'who left Ilobokeu and vicinity on tug-boats, ou Saturday evening, had been intercepted iu tho Bay by revenue cutters, and were obliged to return, greatly disappointed that thev were not able to reach the steamer Quaker City, which awaited them at tho Narrows. Careful inqui ries, however, failed to verify the report, aud it is now probable that tho expeditionary vessel is on her way to Cuba with a daring aud hostile regiment of men on board. General Gioaeoria, who is said to have chief command of tho expedition, has been identified with tho Cuban movement in this city since its incrption: but was more fortunate tlmu the other leaders iu eluding the United Mates au thorities. He was selected for his position ou account of his thorough ncqunmtauce with the topography of the island, and also because he had a practical and theoretical knowledge of war, having been educated as a soldier aud serving in several South American wars. Colonel V. A. C. Ryan, whose redoubtuMe ex ploits have been frequently spoken of. rauks nearly equal with General "Gioacoria. He was formerly a Union scout in the Army of the She nandoah. Ho is the reputed owner of a large and wealthy village ou tho line of the Pacilio Railroad, and, moreover, editor of a newspaper. Colonel Currier, also one of the olliccrs of the expedition, was in command of a Massachusetts regiment during tho late Rebellion. What It Hailed In. The World has the following: The Cuban expedition which left this pot t on Saturday night were supposed to have gone on board the steamship Quaker City, or Columbia, as she is now called: but it has since been ascer tained thnt they were taken on board the steamer Catharine 'Wliitiug, which cleared on Saturday for Galveston, via Key AYost. The Catharine Wliitiug is a propeller of between SW and UtKJ tons, owned by .Messrs. donnson cv Higgins, of Wall street. Her last voyage was to Rio de Janeiro from New Orleans, with a load of Southern emigrants who had become discon tented with this country and sought it happier home in Brazil. Her return voyage was disastrous: her captain died, and iu at tempting to get iuto Bermuda she gut on the reef, damaging her considerably. A new captain was sent out by the underwriters to bring her to tuis port, wucre sue was sout uv them aud purchased cheap by her preseut owners over a year ago. luey at ouce put ner in complete repair, sparing no expense to make ner a first-class steamer; aim since tne comple tion of her repairs she has Iain over in Brooklyn awaiting a purchaser, the object of the owners being to sell rather than run her. She is of very light dratt, very last, and burns out a moderate amount oi coal, ana is lust tne boat for her present service, being nblo to accommo date comlortably about 4iiu passengers, or ouu it they crowd them. It will bo noticed that she is cleared by the same firm which cleared the Perit, and for the same port, and there Is little doubt but that iter destination is tne same. Exiled Cuban. Mr. Montague and others of the Cuban Junta have purchased the well-known llolsmau estate, in Bergen county, N. J., for tho purpose of lav ing it out into villa plots. It comprises KO acres, located on the cast bauk of the Passaic river, with a water front of ouo mile extending down the river from the trio Kallroad bridge. The grounds are rolling, with a considerable nortion covered with forest trees and shrubbery. The llolsmau mansion, which was erected at a cost of (50,000, stands ou a high piece of ground a short distance bacK trom the river. WEDDING INVITATIONS, ENGRAVED IN tile newest and bent r an nor.

Social Despatch to The livening Telegraph. Washington, June At noon to-day the ofllcors of the Navy now lu this city were for mally received at the Navy Department by Secretary Robeson. Tbe olllcers were in full nuiform, and were severally introduced by Ad miral Porter. Sceretnry Itobcoii Nnccch. After the ceremony of shaking hands had been conii lf ted, the .Secretary, addressing tho ofllcers, said: I assure you, gentlemen, that it is with n feeling of tho greatest interest, as well as pleasure, that I meet you to-day. Though hitherto unacquainted with most of you. I could not have been Ignorant of the names I have just heard without at the same time lioinj ignorant of the history of my coun try. To have charge of the service of which these :ire representatives may well fill the mea sure of any man's pride. Your country also Is proud of her navy, aud hhe has reason to be so. JhcJionor of every country is lu tho hands of her representative classes; aud in your hands, at home and abroad, iu the past as in tho present, the interests aud tho honor of your country have always bceu safe. In every domestic trial since our history began, the uavy, as a class, has bceu true to tho integ rity of the nation; while abroad, as her peculiar representatives iu the eyes of every people, her honor has been sustained by your abilities, dig nified by your character, aud illustrated by your services. Iu the presence of such a record the future must be secure, nud in it we all have our parts to perform in various spheres and under various circumstances. Let it bo our pride, then, in the future aa lu the past, la peace as iu war. in the cause of our country, her integrity, and the free spirit of her Government, nnd iu the great cause of progress and universal free dom of which she is and should be champion, that the intiueuce of the navy shall be felt for good through all tho channels of personal as well as professional Influence. A single word further. The present Secretary of the Navy, iu conuuou with all others appointed to that position directly from civil life, will be found at flrft to have but little accurate knowledge of the business of tho department. The details of it professional duties ho cauuot be expected to ac quire. These are all, uudcr the laws of Con gress, entrusted to competent professional ex perts, who perform their duties under strict responsibility. But the principles upon which the ellicieuey of the service depends, and the general rules by which these principles arc ap plied, and the manner and effect of their appli cation to particular cases, these I intend, with your assistance, to understand and to master. It is not unlikely that mhtakes will frequently occur, and particularly nt the first; but know ledge, I hope, will soon como in aid of good intentions. AH business should be trausactcd through the appropriate bureaus. No favors which interfere with the rights of others should bo applied for, and we trust none will be shown except that f ivor which superior merit is entitlod to receive at the hands of the Commonwealth. But any complaints of general or special rules, or their application to particular cases, will always be heard by the Secretary, through the appropriate channels, of .course. But thero will always re main an appeal to the Secretary In person. My time, while Iremaiu in this oflice, belongs to tha service and to tho country. I shall be glad, on any subject of interest to tho service, to see any officer of any rank, nt any time wheu ot engaged iu other business. I desire to bo your friend, gentlemen, and I 'trust you will be mine. I shall endeavor to study your real interests, which cannot but bo ideutical with the interests of the country. No Ciinnfrea. Wheu the officers of the uavy had retired, the clerks of the department were introduced by Ilolmes E. Oeiilcy, Chief Clerk of the depart ment. The Secretary said he had received such high commendations of the clerks from his predecessor, Mr. Borie, that he would not make any changes. One-Price Clething House, ISTo. 004 BliVJRICET Street.
