THE BOMBARDMENT Of HI
Yesterday's
Storm Will
Forgotten.

Bubj- In All Parts of the Town.
Tlio hail storm that swept over this town
yesterday afternoon was the most severe that
over visited tho borough within tlio recollec
tion of tho oldest inhabitants. Tlio town 1ms
many times suffered from rain storms of
great soverity and it is not u stranger to
blizzards, but tho cyclonic sweep of last
evening beat all. Such hnil stones as full
we're the greatest kind of curiosities. Here
tofore hailstones of tho sizo of plums
havo been tho standard in this section,
but yesterday they wcro oclipsed by
thousands of pieccB comparing favorably
with hen's eggs in sizo. Tho damago done
was considerable, but It is surprising that it
was not moro extensive Great lumps of ice
drivon by a fearful galo swept against the
building with u forco that threatened to boat
down ovorything in thoir path. It is also
considered remarkable that bodily injury was
not mulcted. II. C. Folmer and Alex.
Sneddon found a hailstono measuring 11
Inchos in circumference
A sharp olectrical chargo accompanied tho
storm and many cuecs of narrow escapes wore
reported. Itobort Fishburn says a bolt
struck tho ground so closo to him that sev
eral minutes elapsed beforo ho became satis-
fled that ho hud not Bliakon off tlio mortal
coil. Druggist Kirlin says a shaft of light
ning toyed with his cash register for two or
tlirco seconds. Ito stood a few feet from tho
machine and was momentarily paralyzed by
tho shock. Mr. Kirlin says it was tho most
glaring attempt lit till tapping lie over wit
nessed. James Moyer, of West Cherry stroot, had a
thrilling oxporionco duiing tho storm. He
had boon delivering goods down tho valley
and was driving through Lost Creek No. 4
when tho storm appeared to bo nt its height.
A. galo struck tlio wagon, lifted it clean off
tho road and threw tho vehicle upon its side.
Mr. Moyor and a minor riding with him wore
hurled soveral feet, but neither sustained
injury. When tho wagon was thrown tlio
horso took fright and plunged madly until it
suecocded in breaking away. Tlio horso was
caught at llrowusvillo and taken buck to haul
ho badly wrecked wagon home.
It is certainly an ill wind that blows no
body good luck and tho storm was a galo of
good fortuno for tho window glass dealers.
They found dilllculty in meeting tho sudden
and enormous demand for glass last night.
t no other timo In tho history of tlio bor
ough lias so much glazing been dono at ono
time. It is estimated that from 12,000 to 15,000
panes of glass wero destroyed by tho hail.
Tlio storm carao from tho north and
windows facing that direction wero
bombarded as if by camions. But
thero wero many remarkable develop
ments. For instance: tho Kcscuo II. & 1,.
Company's building at tho foot of LocuBt
Mountain presented a broadside to tlio storm.
Thero is nothing for protection between the
building and tho mountain, yet all but six
of tho panes in tho many windows escaped,
whilo the German Parochial school and tho
McMenauiin properties, with similar locations
on Lino streot, looked ns if they had been
stormed by canister. Another peculiar in
statico was furnished at tho corners of Main
and Lloyd streets. On tho north side of tho
building at the southwest comer, occupied
by Joweler Ilolderman, la panes within a
small aroa wcro shattered. Tho L. J.
Wilkinson property is located at the south
west corner and extends 150 feet east on
Lloyd street, presonting iv largo area of glass
to tho storm, yet in tho thirty-ono windows
only ono pane was broken. In additional
contrast with this tho O'Hara property,
located just cast of Mr. Wilkinson's, and
which is in a great mcasuro protected by
trees, lost 17 panes.
Tho storm played havoc with soveral of tho
school buildings and as the great hail stones
pelted through tho window panes and into
tho school rooms tho children becamo greatly
alarmed. In soveral instances panics wero
barely averted. Many children weie struck
by tlio hail and this, with tlio accompanying
galo and vivid (lashes or llglituing, caused i
thorn to becomo terror stricken, Fortu- j
natcly tho teachers succeeded In pacifying !
and holding them under restraint until tho
storm abated.
A rovlow of tho damage caused by thoi
storm showed that nearly all the buildings j
on tho south sides of Line, Coal, Lloyd,
Centre, Oak and Cherry streets suffered moro,
or less, and many of them oxtonsively. Tho
Delanoy property at tho corner of Centre
street and Pear alloy lost 14 panes of glass,
tho Forguson House 11, Egan building 11
and cast of that place to Vlura alley, includ
ing tlio rear of tho Kendrick House, on
north Bido, 00 panes wcro wrecked, Tho un
protected north side of tho Dougherty build
ing at tho cornor of Centre and
Jardin street, cscapod without a
break, In tho Contre street school building
10 panes wore shattered, Tho old Whito
street school building lost 33 panes and tho
High school building 8. Tlio Schloss resi
dence on North Main street also suffered.
Ono of tho largo panes and two small ones In
tho now Whlto street school building wero
ruined. John A. Lewis has 24 panes to re
placo in his West Cherry and Laurel street
properties. In tho building of Joe Itayt
kiowica on West Cliorry street 27 panes wero
liro'Ul'J. Iho Grant mansion lost 8, but tho
nvo thrco-Bbry buildings on tho south sldo of
0c streff, between West and Chestnut,
formorly owned by C. E. Titman, with 80
largo windows fully exposed to tho storm
escaped with only tho cracking of ono pano.
Tho stained glaB3 front of E. J. Bronuan's
placo on West Cherry street Buffered con
siderably and a part of P. J. Mulbolland's
omamontal window on East Centre street
also foil beforo tho hail.
Several of tho churches also suffered and
tho Annunciation rectory prcsontod a
bombarded appearance. Six parts of tho
stained glass in tho front of tho church wcro
wrecked and nine in the Methodist Episco
pal church. Tho P. M. church and parson
age also suffered, and tho old Evangelical
church. While the Yom Klppur services
wera in progress in the synagogue the ball
shuttered several panes at the rear of tlio
building, causing some alarm among tho
worshippers.
One freak of tho storm occurred on West
Lloyd street. A hail stone passed through
tho window of a barber shop, making a hole
as cloun us it bullet could havo mado, and
cairied a chimney from a lamp that was on a
bracket just inside the window.
The housos at Turkey Kan suffered greatly.
In ono house only ono of twelve panes es
caped. At Park Place at loiiBt 1,000 panes of glass
were destroyed, whilo Jackson's tmtch looks
as if It had been battered with shot. On tho
south sido almost ovory pane of glass was
destroyed. In ono houso 57 panes wero
broken nud 31 in another.
Tho Catawissu Valley suffered greatly.
Tho farmers came to town in droves to-day
looking for window glass and putty. Tho
appio trees wore stripped of all tho fruit and
many farmers say they will not bo able to get
tho crop from tho ground In time to provont
great waste.
At tho Delano shops every pano is broken
and Supt. lllakslee's houso is badly wrecked.
At Mahanoy City, and Shoemaker's similar
damago was dono. Tho Lehigh Valloy
oast bound train from Mahanoy City, was in
tho storm and every window on tho north
sido of tho coaches was broken, as well at all
tho ventilators. Soveral of tho houses In
Shoemaker's were unroofed.
At Bloomsburg Dillon's hot houses are
practically a total loss, as between 08,000 and
70,000 square feet of glass wero broken, us
well as many valuable plants. At tho Stato
Normal School 500 windows were brokon,
and throughout tho town at least tlireo
fourths of the window panes were smashed
by hail.
Lcwta Lobe, engineer at West Shonnudoah
colliery, carries on his head a lump raised by
a blow from a largo hailstono that entered
through tho open sky light of tlio engine
houso.
The trough which is used to carry tho slush
from tho Win. Peun colliery was-blown down
and the itrccnhouso at tho residence, of
Superintendent William H. Lewis was greatly
damaged.
