AIL: THE ICE TEMPEST OF YESTERDAY THE SCIENCE OF HAIL INOIIDENTS OF THE STORM EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE TOTE RISE: IN PUTTY A GALA DAT FOR THE GLAZIERS The memory of a remarkable hail-shower in the autumn of 1867 is fresh in the memory of many. It is especially so to the large number of people whosepocket-books -shared -in the shock imparted by it to their nervous sensibili ties. To say that ithiladelphia was yesterday • visited by . a phenomenal -hail-storm-would be apiece of inforniation superfluous to any resi dent of this city-and vicinity. What may not be as generally known ,is that no such shower of frozen aiireolites has fallen upon Philadel phia since the, one occurring—to, the best of our recolleetion—in the year 1847. . eackindiviclual loser to place his esti mate at what, he lost by the hail-shower of yester day, andllion of dollars would probably be ex ceeded by the sum of them all. The clouds from - which these supernal pellets fell- bean to gather in -the western horizon about oclock' P. M. The wind,. firs£ coming from the gates of the east, veered northeastward. The eccen tricity_ottimeircumstances_was_thatAhe_dri of the clouds that concentrated likd the separ ate companies in a cohort - Of cavalry, when a wavering, column is to be steadied, was from the southwest. - With' a deviation from atmo, spherical unities,the cause of which is entirely beyond the .capacity of any - one but a savant() -- solve; a'counter-current of air- squarely-.from the- teeth of the north met this first-named current. 'When an irresistible body comes in contact . with an inunevable body, the result_ must remain . purely conjectural. From the way things yesterday looked, when a lot of 'winds get at loggerheads, the results aro likely to be somewliat, &tided. In the • case of msterday's storm, we doubt whether in anf - time or in any place, since the ark' -landed upon .Ararat, pqnal amount of damage bas been Ilene by a hail storm inside of fifteen- minute's. The clouds' literally charged against each other. What is puzzling is to understani how, in its process Of condensation, the vapor was instantane ously converted into ovals of ice. The Shower olidn't come down in the shape of the manna t iat escendal - upon 1 - Sraet — anci—that — evapo-- - rated with the morning dew. It literally de scended in chunks," and of such solidity that they rebounded from roof and sidewalk without 'sustaini tig fracture. For about fifteen minutes the fall lasted. A worthy gentleman who suffered from it says that ate was hit upon the cheek while sit ting in the court-yard of his house. The mis sile was white. As a marble-yard is' in the immediate vicinity of his residence he jumped at the conclusion that some bibleless boy had hurled at him a gravestone chip. While running after the supposed boy with a tract in each hand, the full force of the shower elute upon his uncovered caput. What was the experience of this gentleman was proba bly the experience of many others. So large were the frozen spheres or rhomboids, that to be exposed to them in the street was abso lutely dangerous. It wasn't the ordinary hail storm of winter, that stings the face of the traveler like a whip of steel. In this case it was a question of escaping with an unfrac- Lured cranium or with an unparalyzed spine. As a matter of record, we here note that these hail-stones didn't descend in a compact shower. In dropping ninny of them were a yard apart. Our reporter, with a lady's work-box measure, took the circumference of some of the larger ones ; that of the largest was six inches.. It wasn't. a jagged, irregularly-shaped mass. On the contrary, it was as symmetrical in form as a Mercer potato. A test of their weight showed that out of a dozen two weighed a pound each. The smallest dim of die Tot, scoopti - d - up at — Mtn-hazard, weiglied just two ounces and an eighth. The storm, viewed from any stand-point whatever,proved /as curious as it was destructive. What is for tunate is that the limit of mischief was, so re ' markablj. - circumscribed. A few rods beyond Chestnut Bill, and no hail-stone fell. Its east ermnost-bayoudidn't lass much below Seventh street. The good neople of Camden were comparatively exempt from the violence of the visitation. The contending clouds seem to have come into conflict just over the Schuyl kill. The cous'equence is that this morning) con tinuous TOWS Of houses, facing northward and westward, show continuous rows of glassless sashes ; 'that skylights, greenhouses, costly stained-glasM windows in churches, and the cheaper panes of school-houses, were yester day involved in common ruin. The havoc was as thoroughly as it was quickly commit ted. It has put the city into a rather heavy bill of costs. The street-lamps are pretty generally :broken. The departments of highways, city property and of schools, will need money to pay for the repair of damages. The passenger railway companies will do ditto. This morn ing the glaziers are kings. The floors of the patisenger cars yesterday were covered, like the floors of Many a house,with internnugled glass and hail•stgnes. These stones fell with a good square, unreserved . sort of whack that spattered the street mud to the sidewalks as ruthlessly and as e ff e ctu. ally as it sent the window-glass in doleful tinkle over the carpets of thcise who suffered by it. It visited alike the just and the un just. While it smashed some three hundred panes of gla.ssln the residence and conserva tories of the tragedian Forrest, it at the same time dethroned the representations of the four Evangelists 'in the exquisitely stained-glass window of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. It dispersed and deprived of its solemnity a funeral of which our esteemed fellow-citizen Simon Gartland was taking charge, of which further particulars are giten below" It dropped part' of its heavy burden upon the jitst-opened wine . house at Broad and Thompson streets with a result that will keep at work a glazier fur three days to come. In the vicinity of Seventeenth and Locust'streets,the locality of St. Al ark'S Church, the storm_seems to have dropped its heaviest 4 ° pebbles." As a --inar A tg -Cant-QM lawaYy—reniarhaiLthe— tfto" Yv,cre "of the lagnp , ts I it e.' " I f „1” ,C) ui I Wit s a pebble o the bigness of the . one that yesterday sniaSlied the Sunday hat Of our reporter, the fact that G ()Hall so obligingly gave up the ghost is very little wonder. llie glass broken in St. Mark's Church included abont two 'hundred panes f—these—a hundred and tfty-contributed-to' make up the figures- of the Evange4ts tl ns , eniporarily -obliterated. - While the elements were paying theiratten lions to churches and seheelhotises, they evinced their abnegation of partiality by in terviewing the railroad depots. They mulcted :hat of the Baltimore Railroad Company to he .. extent of three thousand_ and -eight. hundred of OWN. - They were not chary-in visiting places of . eusineSs and of balling at hotels. Thu glaziers grinned with joy this morning at something more than four hundred bruken lights in the windows of the St. Law rence. •• 'A German gentleman, doing veritinfetic besineSs in the same 11ne. and whose knowledge of English is made up of the sentence " Glas-e to mend," counted a hundred. and sixty-nine broken panes in the windows --.1-4-be-Nataterimii,-on-tsrood street—The same gentleman nearly tainted with rapture when be saw that the extensive conservatory build ingS of Mr. Lippincott, at the corner of Broad \Valuta ttitets,'Were literally riddled by the de&eeeding shower. The destruction did not'extend much beyond the buildings. In the 'days tit "their former 0 wner; t 'James Dun: • dab, there was no conservatory in America, save that attached: to the. Patent 011ioe at Washington, presenting equal value. An auc tion t•P dismersPd their contents. The loss to plants in this case is not material. - With professional nurserymen, we are sorry to say, the case is very much the reverse. To 4.l,bn:elate the details would till about three numbers ,of the EVENING; BULLICTIN. The storm warred upon the roses. It showed nei ther to York or Lancaster the least respect. EVely garden beneath the contending clouds hears draggled-looking testimony to the vio lence, of the fall. Beneath shade trees every where there now Rena earpet of excised ver - duce for which even Autumn would-refuse to be accountable. At least one-third of the .foliage of all-the trees exposed to the storm is denuded from the twigs - that-supported - them: Boltiutis_tur some time to come.must heat _a_ premium. Rose-bushes are hattiired into :hopelessness. We, this morning,. noticed a resigned and unprofane disciple of Adam, with pruning-knife in hand, cutting down his bushes to the very root. The laceration of the tops was such that nothing short of amputation could preserve them. . The damage to- street lamps is something especial. Of_ the eight _thonsand_iii_ _the. city fully one-half are this morning destitute of glass. The police stations also suffered. The aggregate is : First District, 30 panes ; Second District, 82 • Fifth District s 60; Sixth District. 46 ; Seventh ' District; 40 ; Eighth District, 11t1; Ninth District, 20; Tenth District, 12; Eleveuth District, 3 ; Twelfth District, lb. The reason that we:specify the pains of the policemen's panes is that the count of the windows comes to us in official sbane. With this we come to a regretful considera tion ofthe rumpus created ill the commercial and private nurseries. By the Almshouse Nursery for plants very little damage was sustained. The nursery for children wasn't extensively damaged, The reports current this morning one of the -mesSengersto - the - department— that was hit-on the. apron appears to - be - without foundation. The extensive nursery at Passyunk road and Christian street is among the demolished. About Sl,OOO worth of glass_ was ilestroyed. Many rare plants in it are wiped °tit of ex istence. The entire loss reached about $5,000. The conservatories . and green-houses of .-GenT-11-obert-Tattersono.-hirteenth-and-Locust s_treets,_were_completely_shattered. Many_ valUable plants contained in them were much 'injured. The large - commercial green-house- of Mr. - Graham, at Eighteenth and Thompson; suf -fefed severely.-- Panet of glass were demol ished, and many valuable flowers, shrubbery, and plants of different kinds wereinjured by the bail. The commercial-green-house of Mr. Mackenzie,-.Broad.and Columbia avenue, was correspondingly victimized. Mr. Charles Miller, a well-kn Own florist in Wef • est Philadelp— estimates his loss in glass and flowers and plants at $5;000. — ln the opinion of Mr. John Dick, in West Philadel- • phia, not less than $4,000 will suttee to set him - back; 'this morning,'' to -the--financial position that he occupied. at Sunday's sunrise. What is he loss of Mr. Dick is also the loss of Mr. Buidt. If the storm has done mischief in one respect, it may do this particular good—it may bring about the discovery of some moans of making homeinade glasS as full of integrity a sAhe glass we get from France or Belgium. The plate-glass of these countries exposed to the pelting of the storm stood inviolate. What we grieve at is thatthe glass of our own manufacture succumbed to the pelting and dropped in ignominious fragments to the ground. The beautiful flower farm of Mr. Dreer, at Riverton, didn't suffer. That of Messrs Landreth enjoyed cor responding immunity. The hot-house of Mrs. B. A. Fahnestoek, Eighteenth and Arch streets, lost more than 1,500 lights. The ex pense of repair will be near $l.OOO, without counting damage to the rare and costly plants. From $1,200 to $1,500 will be required to re pair the loss sustained by the breaking of glass in Mr.Dryburgh's hot-house,in Cherry street, below Eighteenth. The hot-house of Rodney King, at Nine teenth and Race streets, was badly damaged. Also that of James Pollock, Fifteenth street, below Walnut. A large conservatory at Twenty-first and Brandywine streets, was also damaged in the same way. What is true of these is true of all the hot-houses and conservatories in the city, where exposed to the storm. The broad skylights of nearly all the photo graph-galleries were totally demolished. The green-houses at Eighteenth and Master streets, belonging to Mr. Graham, Were coin pletely riddled, scarcely a single pane of glass remaining. Sherwood's. green-house, on SevOith street, below Chestnut, was also -- badly damaged. The crops of early spring vegetables in the neighborhood of the city are fearfully dam aged, the tomato plants, pea vines, beans, en cumber vines, and, indeed, all crops suffer seriously. To lovers of early tomatoes and green peas this will be unwelcome news. What troubles our reporter is that in all proba tat y'onr friends the truck-growers will make of it rather more capital than the eircum ,tances warrant. In this we may be mistaken. e hope that we are. We hope also that IheDamaze to the Churebee will be less serious than reported. Our espe cial regrets in,this direction will be-shared by everybody. The beatitiful rose window of stained glass in the new church of hey. Dr. Wheaton Smith is sadly wrecked. From the windows of the 'Universalist Church of the Messiah some four hundred lights of glass are missing. The Church of the Epiphany, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, had about one hundred and fifty panes broken in its west windows, and its tine shade-trees were badly, cut up. All Saints' Church, Twelfth street, below Fitzwater, had its handsome windows sadly smashed up. Ist( arly all the glass in the windows of the Western Presbyterian Church, Twentieth and Fitzwater streets, are broken. The beautiful stained glass in the windows of the Chiireli of the PI oly Trinity, Nine teenth and Walnut streets, is much shattered. The stained glass windows in the Chureh of :he Covenant, on Filbert street, near Eigh teenth; are damaged beyond repair. At the Fourth Reformed Preshyterian Church, Eighteenth and Filbert streets, when the storm began, the communion service had just commenced.. 'Phu excitement among the esengregation fur a short time; was great. Many ot the:l i ghts anthe windows-were-bro ken, and the solemnity of the services was in-' tensitied by the occurrence. The handstmic circular window of stained Blass in the Chapel of the Broad add Arch Streets Methodist Episcopal C burn- NVas com pletely riddled ; while nearly every pane , of glass was broken from tower and steeple of. the First Baptist Church, Broad and Arch,and also from the large windows on the west.

This is a loss that will soon be repaired. The churl bis now a progressive one. Between a flea-1 ite and a carbuncle it can very accurately discriminate. Calvary. Presbyterian Ohurcb,Locust Ftreet, shove 1! ifteentb, was damaged badly, the tainea glass windows being ruined. It will cost at least $l,OOO to repair -the loss. The stained plass windows in the church at Seven teenth and Spruce, also street, above Sixteenth, were badly riddled with the hail. At Third and Pine the storm was not so severe, the windows of St. Peter's being little, damaged. The windows of the .Chapel at Broad Ord Brandywine streets were badly . , wreeked.---The glaziers will here also have a job. The extent of Miscellaneous Damage, so far as stores are concerned, was ‘‘• rather pert:nisi:sous." As.we have already stated, o make a record of the whole would till this entire .paper. - ' On the west front of the' Farmers' Market, 678 large lights were broken, 130 on the north front, and over 600 smaller panes in the - ky light, makingl.4l3 lights broken in this build ing. ln_the adjoining- .market, .boose,.at.the corner of TWellth street, 109 large lights were broken on the northern and western sides, and about'2.oo small panes iu the skylight. Among other structures especially doomed to suffer were the U. S. Mint Keystone Gram mar School; Hancock School; Maxwell's store, Eleventh and Chestnut a row of _houses__'in_Race,__betw_een., Eighteenth__ and Nineteenth church, Eighteenth and Arch; Concert Hall ; Osler's photograph skylights ; the City Institute; the City Armory, on Market, above Nineteenth; St. John's Church; Natatorium. . .

They were large and tirst-cass. In the neighborhood of the hose houSe much of the window-glass in some dwelling houses was broken, especially in the windows facing west.- Very considerable damage was done to the hot-houses of the Widow Bisset, florist, on Tasker street, between Moyamensing avenue and Fourth street. They consist of five or six narrow houses, about seventy feet in length, with double pitch roofs. The• glass in these roofs was literally beaten out by the bail, and sortie of the plants inside were damaged. All over the city skylights were broken, causing damage to the goods of storekeepers 'in the business quarters. - The *services of the Insurance Patrol were called into requisition in_s_ome instances,and their wa.ter : proof coyer ings-were of peat benefit in - preventing - dam.' age. What the business community is now wondering at is that the Insurance Patrol was not established a longtime ago. In case of loss by this hail-storm, the fire insurance com panies are, of course, not liable. To find ex- Chief McUusker and his men engaged in what was-very-certainly-a--labor-of-love,-as-we_did during the fusilade of_yesterdav, is certainly an unrequited illustration of the golden rule. The question now is, will it be allowed to re -main -unrequited _at this. point.we stick_, a pm. A large-numberlights..were. _broken in _ the neveAlonnado- Hotel, .

At the Spring Garden Institute, Broad and Spring Garden, 150 lights were broken out, while nearly all the windows of the Boys' High School, on the Broad and Green street fronts, were riddled with the hail. The Scene on the Delaware was a picture that should have inspired the pencil of some great artist. The continuous dropping of these masses of ice upon--its dimpling waters covered its entire surface with silver spray. Each pellet, as it struck the river's surface, gave a recoil that scattered It shower of watery jevrels, as if the breadth of the Delaware were an incrustation of dia monds. The decks of vessels coming up the stream were covered by it. A fleet of yachts and boats came up in ail pogsible expedition. Most fortunately, no boat was overset nor Sabbath-breaker drowned. There was no ac cident either The storm found there a multitude of peo ple, but all found shelter in the Mansion H °use and in the adjoining beer-gardens. The road from the Water Works to the Park was covered with water in consequence of the Stoppage of the drains. At the Park no .par- Ocular damage was done except to young trees, shrubbery_ and _plants. An oddity. Was presetited in the shape of a visitation to the lager:house of Charles Kline, corner of Penn sylvania avenue and CoatesAreet. The prem ises lie on a low piece of ground. The cellar of this lager vendef is how floored with about eighteen inches of kelid ice. The separate and distinct chunks have become one homogene bus mass.
