CITY BULLETIN.
' ' AND Ti .
STOWSI.--Abont, half-past four o'clock yester
day afternoon, the southern part of Philailel
phis was visited by a tornado which dirt n
considerable amount of damage in a very few
minutes. Such' a storm has 'had no equal in
that . section of the city since the memorable
tornado that unroofed Wharton Street M. E.
Church nearly a quarter of a century ago.
The lightning yesterday was exceedingly
vivid. 'Persons informed us the could hear
it hissing, y.
ing,—the thunder was :twilling, the
hail very severe, finishing with rain that fell
in torrents, so much so, that the whole.
locality for several. miles was inundated.
The paved sections of the streets in a
few minutes presented rivers of water;
and; ilthOugh the tide was pretty. high in
the Delaware at the time, yet the culverts
and surface-drains prevented, any cellars from
being OverfloWed. The inhabitants in the
eastern part of the First Ward were thrown
into the greatest Consternation, as crashing
roofs and falling chimneys and whirling trees
added terrors to the eleMental war. Such a
scene beggars description. We may state here .
that the tornado seemed to diverge from a corn=
mon centre,aud formed two tracks or courses, •
one about northeast and the other nearly east.
We traced these courses for nearly half a mile.
The following is the result of our investiga
tion: -
The car-house of the Frankford and South
wark Passenger Railway, on the west side - of
Fifth street, near Canal street, was alniost
entirely . demolished. Those who were in the
east end of the ear-house at the time said there
was a blinding flash of lightning, and, as 'the
thunder was about being heard, a terrific
crash ensued,and the next moment a hundred
feet of the building lay in ruins. In falling,
the fences of yards hi the rear of dwelling- -
houses were smashed to the ground, and
three or four outhotises , were more or less
damaged:
A. couple of two-story brick dwellings being
erected by Mr. Dunbar, on a small street just
south of the car-house, were crushed into a
mass of shapeless ruins. Further south, on
Fifth street below Mifilin,the pretty residence
of Mr. Jaeo'b Meyers was unroofed in a mo
ment. Mrs. Meyers, at the time,_ was sitting
_near the third story front window, and so
quickly was the operation of the wind exe
cuted that she did not know the roof was off
until she saw it the next moment falling into a
large tree about forty yards distant.
From this point the tornado seems to have
taken an easterly direction, and in its course
_prostrated two chimneys on the western end of
Sharp & Thompson's wire works, formerly
"North,, Chase Sc North's:'_Two chimneys,
left standing, are about one. undred and fifty•
feet apart, thus showing the whirling power
of the wind within that space.
Further towards the eastern part of these
works One of the buildings was entirelyun
roofed, and the flying timbers fell partly into
Second street and partly into the Philadelphia
Skating Park.
The fence of the Park, with the exception of
onepa.nel in Second street, was entirely de
molished.
A large tree that had braved the storms of a
century was uprooted and whirled to the dis
tance of a few rods, immediately east of the
Park. The buildings of this institution were
not damaged. The large iron skate, on the
top of the flag pole, was blown to parts un
known.
Siegel street, east of Moyamensing avenue,
was visited with destruction. On the south
side of the street there is a row of two-story
brick houses, the property of Mr. Daniel Fitz
patrick. The two westernmost buildings . of
the row were unroofed and the cornice
splintered into pieces. A piece of joist or
rafter \WM hurled across the street,and coming
in contact with the upper part of house No.
243, occupied by Mr. Tolman, broke in the
WindoW-shutter, sash and frame and a con
siderable.portion of the wall. House No. 241,
adjoining, occupied by Mr. Gardiner, and
house No. 239, the dwelling of Mrs. Long, lost
their, chimneys, tut escaped other damages.
Further towards the Delaware the destruc
tion of property were still greater. On the
MeadoW bel6w the old SonthWark Canal; and
a short distance west of Greenwich Point
road,
,were the works of • Messrs. Tasker Sr,
Clark, for the manufacture of phosphates for:
fertilization, &c. These buildings, four or live
in number, were .low and long, presenting
westward a range of gable ends. F In the
''twinkling of an eye," the 'roofs were lifted
from the walls, and the next moment dashed
into thousands of splinters.
In this locality there is a nest of three-story
brick houses—seventeen in number. The
front row is known as the "Eleven-gun bat
tery," with wings each containi lig three houses.
The southern wing was entirely unroofed, and
- part of the, rear walls and chimneys went
crashing into the yards, smashing fences, hen
coops and pig-pens. The roof of the end house
of the front row was whirled eastward, and in
lallingsmashed down the shed-and---fences-at
fached to a part of the rosin oil works of E. H.
Rowley. The wind kept on its mad course
down to the river Delaware, overturning
several boat-houses that belong to rail and
reed bird shooters. All the dwelling houses
are .occupied by poor people, who fortunately
escaped injurnexcepting one poor old colored
woman—a Mrs. Bechtel. She was 'going — Up
stairs into the third story at the time of the
disaster. The chimney in falling involved her
in the ruins. She received a pretty severe cut
in the forehead.
Further down, in the more rural section,
there are many interesting evidences of the
power •of the storm. Extensive cabbage
patches or fields were stripped of their leaves
just - as clean as though they had been re
moved by the use of sharp knives.
The, barn or wagon-house of Mr. Bliss,on old
Second street, quarter of a mile below Mifflin
street, was demolished, and a four-wheel
wagon was blown to a distance of three hun
dred feet, when the shafts ran into the mud to
their entire length.
The barn of Mr. Heffner, on the Buck road,
below Moyantensing avenue, lost its roof. It
was blown to a distance of several hUndred
feet. Nearly all the fences on his farm were
blown down. •
The carriage house of Mr. Jacob Hofiner,
on the Gruver estate, was 'Whirled into rains
in less time than it takes to record the /fact.
The fences were also prostrated.
The dwelling of Mr. Miller, a victualler, on
Second street, near the farm of Mr. Bliss, was
partially Unrooted and the gable end stove in.
A umber of choice fruit trees - were destroyed
in the handlionfe garden of Mr. Miller.
The Sheds of the coal yank of Mr. Dough
erty, in Front street, below Greenwich, and
those of Andrew Sterling, on Second street,
below Greenwich,were more or less destroyed.
The rear portion of the roof of the Presby
terian Church, on GreetiWichi
,str6et, east of
Moyamensing avenue, was total up and de
stroyed by the wind. The damage here, how
ever, was not very extensive.
The above are the principal points or traces
left by the whirlwind on the extreme part of
its course or courses.
As may be supposed, the people residing in
The Seethin dins alluded to were thrown into
the greatest excitement. A portion of the tor
nado passed over a thickly-populated locality.
The storm lasted about ten minutes, and
after the hail had ceased to fall, the rain came
down in such torrents as to assume all the pro
portions of a regular water-spout.
BEATING AND CLIWING.—Rean er pond eld

THE CRAIG•SPRAGUE CASE.
That $lOO,OOO Damitges
The ChicagoWourna/,speaking of that breach
of promise case in which Miss Craig got
$lOO,OOO damages, says :
Yesterday, during the morning recess of the
Circuit Court at Wheaton, F. W. Tourtelotte;
counsel for plaintiff iu the famous Sprague-
Craig case, had an interview with Judge Wil
cox, who stated that he should probably hear
the motion for a new trial, made by General
Linder, on next Monday, if the present trial
for .the murder of Laird by Clutuncey Bailey
•wa.s then concluded.
Mr. Tourtelotte: it is understood, will make
an application for an order from the Circuit
Court of Du Page county, compelling him to
levy on the property of Sprague to secure the
payment of $lOO,OOO to the plaintiff.
This is. rendered necessary from the fact that
all of Sprague's property is in this city.
THE DAILY - EVENING - BULLETM-TIMADELPHIA, XOND.kY, JUNI8„1(i,
DosTois, Jute at:Harvard is
the impprtant day of the year withthe students, :
and the people. in this vicinitywho take a
lively interest in the venerable institution are
heconeing less familiar and lessintereated with.
ComipencenientDay each year, and are direct
ing, their attention to the,class exercises :Yes
terday the observance of the Class Day of 'd9
was an occasion of much interest, several
thou Sand relatives and acquaintances. of the
students being in .. attendance,: scores
of distinguished gentlemen :arid numerous
ladies, gaily dieSsed, giving eclat to the event
.by their presenee.. A. marked improvement in
the appearance of the ladies Was apParent, ns
they were dressed less gaudily and with more
taste than has been observed of late years.
All was life and ardinatiOn - on the college
grounds yesterday morning. The members of
the senior class were collected at 10 o'clock in
front of Holworthy Hall, and the visitors were
arriving by thousands in carriages and cars.
The college buildings looked as venerable and
stately as of old,and here-and there promenaded
gay throngs of happy andsmiling people; Who
gave a holiday look to the wholicture.• The
Senoir Class was marshaled by Edward Bow
ditch, John Wayland Mcßurney, aud Gardner
Goodrich Willard, and marched to Appleton
Chapel, wherein William Hnnter Orcntt, the
class chaplain, offered an appropriate prayer.
At a later hour the literary exercises took
-place at- the -! First Parish Church., -,The:
church was crowded, and the programme
included a prayer by the Bey. Dr. l'eabOdy, an
oration by Francis U.. Peabody, of Boston, a
poem by . George E. Merrill,
.of Cambridge,
and the singing of an ode written hy Arthur
Irving Fiske, of Holliston. AS intellectual
efforts, the oration, poem,_ and ode were cred
itable to the young graduates. The oration
and poeth were well delivered and Well re
ceived, and in fact it could hardlybe • other
wise, for the students have an unde •
understanding
among themselves, that whenever the. orator
or poet forgets his "niece;' or falters 'in the
least, they are to applaud till he collects his
scattered faculties, and either quietly makes
np his mind to repeat the obstructive, para
graph or omit it altogether, and continue from
another point.
After the exercises came the "spreads," to
which hosts of friends were invited, and at
Which one of the items was 2,000 boxes of
strawberries. The .dancing on the College
Green was begun at 4 o'clock. The members
of the class Were arrayed in the usual miscel
laneous manner, and gave Holwcirthy and the
other buildings which they visited the cus
tomary cheers. At the library the class ivy
was planted, and an excellent oration
was delivered by Benjamin L. R. Tower.
It May be here stated that the ivy
thus planted, each year invariably dies, a fact
which may be interesting to students of
natural history or horticulturists. The exer
cises at the tree folldWed, and the lack of
rudeness, noticeable informer years, was note
worthy. The pulling and haulinr , l' incidental
to the formation of circles by the classes
around the trees was not particularly agree
able to visitors, though it WWI heartily enjoyed
by the students. Usually there is a grand
rush for the bouquets on the tree, and while
one student gets one or six, and spoils two
or three, somebody else goes without. Yester
day a Committee took down the bouquets,
Mid passed them around, so that each
member of the Senior Class received one as a
perishable memento of the day's sport. The
members of the International Crew, who had
been the lions of the day in a quiet way, were
brought prominently to notice at° the tree by
the "hoisting" process. The six-oared boat
which did such good service with the Univer
sity crew at Worcester, in the Ward and Yale
races last year,was suspended in Harvard Hall
during the day, decked with the trophies of
the victory over Yale.
In the evening there were private entertain
ments of fortunate friends,singing by the Har
vard Glee Club, and a reception at the Rev.
Dr. Peabody's. Hohvorthy Hall and the Green
were brilliantly illuminated, and hundreds of
people enjoyed vocal and instrumental music
till a late hour. The member of the Senior
Class who stood highest was Robert Alder
eLei3d, of Baltimore, Md., who was a cap
tain in the rebel army, and who lost an arm
while serving in that capacity. He accepts the
situation gracefully, and is one of the most
popular men in the College. Commencement
day is Tuesday next. —Tritium.
