[Special Dispatch to ihe Evening Star.) Aupany, N.Y., June 28.—The manazers of the senatorial contest are all on hand early this week. ‘The constant repetition of the statement by Mr. Robertson and other leaders on Saturday and Sunday that it wou'd culminate on Thurs- day has brought the politicians all back early to see how the culmination ts to be made. Mr. Platt, Mr. Conkling and Mr. Depew reached here fast night and are watching as anxiously as tbe Second Adventist ever did forthe day fixed for the world to come to an end. Numer- Cus plans have been arranged, but none of then Appear to work as the designers intended. With all the talk it is apparent that if an election takes place this week 1t will come as one of those unexpected events and without previous arrangements by any one. Senator Kobertson and thore who have been co-operating with im worked all of last nigif trying to secure a combination for Congressman Crowley for the shoit term, with Depew for the long term. The Stalwarts charge that this is a move to use Mr. Crowley as a ciub to break Mr. Conkling’s lines, draw Sway some of his supporters and then drop Crowley and take Cornell on the idea that when Mr. Conkling’s lines are broken Mr. Cor- nell will consider that he is ab3olved from all further obligations to Mr. Conkling and then consent to be a candidate. They announce with great positiveness that the scheme can’t b+ Made to work or Conk ing’s supporters taken off by any such arrangement. Another move- ment has been started to make a combination with Controjler Wadsworth for a short term and Gov. Cornell for the long term. This Is th Plsn of some of the half breeds who are opposed to Depew, and it is charged that Mr. Coraeii insists that the long term Senator shall be elected first. That has aroused @ suspicion that {t 18 a dodge to defeat Platt with a stalwart aud save Conkling. Tne strain has become intense, and it would seem that there must be a break in some direction soon. The stalwarts’ orgaa this morning devotes much space to the situa- Uon, which summed up is “that the lobby and the bulldozing of the administration leaders in pertine one side a party caucus has made It im- possible to elect, and the only way out is toad- Journ and let the people elect a republican to the legislature who will enter a caucus and abide by its decision.” 1t agds: “Perhaps su h a legislature would not elect Conkling and Platt, but it would clect. some one, and that is more than Blaine will let this leg{slature a It is Dow announced that among the indtct- ments presented by the grand jury sealed, yas- terday, were those of Senator Sessioa3 aud Lobbyist Edwards, [By Associated Press.] The Balloting To-day.

RAILROAD DEPOT, MA- SONIC TEMPLE, FRANKLIN AND WALLACH SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND ST, ALOYSIUS CRURCH, THE WASHINGTON BUSINES3 COLLEGE, AND MANY DWELLINGS DAMAGED—HCNDREDS OF TREES BLOWN DOWN. As the sun weat down last night an ominous black storm cloud, fitfully tuminated by light- ning, appeared on the northern horizon. Tue ftorm was driven rapidly upon the city against the fresh breeze blowing from th? south, and no quarter of the city escaped its destructive fury. Old inhabitants canrot remember any storm which curpassed this in geverity, It was of short duration, lasting only an hour, but during that hour ratp. hail, lightning and wind combined to make a spectacle sucn as 1s Tarely witnessed. Most of the damage done about the city was due to the high gale of wi which unroofed houses and uprooted treets every direction, though much glass was broken by hall, and in some sections of the city house owners suffered on account of overflowing sewers. The greatest damage appears to have Deen done in the northern and northwestero part of the city. The destruction of tres 1s something unprecedented. In the West End, where the wind had full sweep along the broad avenues and across the broad parks and circles, trees went down before the blast like reeds, PROMINENT BUILDINGS DAMAGED. A portion of the tin roof of the City Hall, over the west wing, was blown off, and carried some distance down 43s st. Rafters and coping stones were also ripped from their places by the wind. The Register of Wills’ office sufferea severe damage from the water that ran through the ceiling. Architect Clark at once took steps to have the damage repaired. A portion of the root of the Masonic Temple was torn off and deposited on the opposite side of F street. A tower on the south side of the Franklin szhool building was blown down, and@ the Wallach ‘school building, in East Washington, was par- ally uproot ‘The large gilt cross surmount- ing the tower of St. Aloysius church was com- pletely shattered. A large part of the car shed of the Baltimore and Ohio depot was unrooted. All of the public buildings suffered more or less by wind and hall. THE CITY HALL, The gale took off quite a lot of the roof of the City Hall, mostly from the central portion, and the building was badly damaged by water, but fortunately the records were not damaged. Ore of the ventilators trom the top of the building was sent crashing across the street through one of the windows in Mr. Bradiey’s office. The ceilings of the court rooms were badly damaged. Mr. Edward Clark, the architect of the Cari- tol, under whose care the City Hall ts, visited it last evening immediately after the storm, ard Jmmediately made arrangements to repair damages by ordering a force of workmen on the ground. A careful In tion of the build- ing to-dey shows that the damage is much greater than it wasat first supposed. All the roof on the north side of the building, extend- irg from the northwest corner to the center of the east wing 1s gone. Several of the ventila- tors and some of the chimneys are laid flat. A Part of the heavy stone coping on the walls were thrown of. The records of the Probate Court (register of will’s office) are all preserved, being In the safe, but the furniture and car- pets have been ruined by the water falling off the ceilings. The papers in the clerk's desk were ruined. It is fortunate that the storm occuired at night,for had it occurred during the day doubtless some of the clerks would have been killed by the falling debris, as one of tne stones fell plump in the room they occupy. Mr. Clark estimates the damage to the City Hall at at least $3,500. After eneTs the building this: morning Mr. Clark notified Judge James that it was ct safe to hold court in the Circutr room, and after a short session he adjouraed it. Judge Wylie did not hold the Equity Cour: in the usual place, but adjourned to the Alde:- men’s chamber. AT THE B. AND P. DEPOT they had harely succeeded In turning the water which fell in the heavy shower in the afternoon into the sewer when the thunder storm brok= and in a little time there was 4 lake about the building, the water belng up to a level wiih the Noor, ‘This made it necessary for carriages to drive into the yard of the depot and take and 1nd parsengers directly on the plat orm. Wh le one of the switchmen was attending to his du y lighting struck the telegraph wires near vy aba playing along to a pole a few fe>t from him, seemed to wrap itseif round it, knocktas a eeens of the wood and scattering them abou’ ind, in THE WASHINGTON EUSINESS GOLLEGE. At the Spencerian Bustness College, corner of ith and L streets, which was unroofed at the first assault of the storm, the sidewalks and carriageway on the L street front were literaily filed with the debris of the roof—immense sheets of tin and timbers strewn about in in- extricable confusion. Upon entering the butid- ing the water was flowing down the stairway in great streams, as thoi issuing from a fountain. In the first, or mato hall, ot the Busi- ness College furniture cf all kinds was stacked Up, aud numerous busy hands were active in mopping up the floors, In the third story,com- pricing the minor hall and Mving rooms of the family, everyting looked a perfect wreck. Whilst a platoon of college volunteers were vig- orously spplying brooms in disposing into a ccmmon channel the streams of water still pcuring down through the perforated celling, tbe principal, in his shirt sleeves, the vice prin- cipal, in a turban, and the corps of assistant teaches, all staying the ceaseiess rush cf Water, bedding, clothing, furniture ani all seemed to ‘have just been rescuéd froma watery grave. It is said that when the crash came, the Classes were busy at recitation. Sud- denly, all the lights were extinguished, but amidst the crashing of timbers and roar of the tempest, the volces the principals were heard cautioning to coolness, and no doubt to this presence of mind ts it due that no disastrous stampede cccurred. Whilst the loss of property is great, DO one was ipjured in the least, and all finally rather made go of the fright and tolls of the night. ‘The building is owned by Samuel Norment, esq., and besides requiring an entire new roof, will also need replastering and extensive repairs of brokea windows, re- painting, etc., involving an expenditure of several thousand dollars to the proprietor. A PANIC AT FORD'S OPERA HOUSE. A Mes ne panic was created at Ford's Opera House, where the commencement of St. Jobn’s Collegiate Institute was being held. when the storm burst over it. The rain and hail poured into the windows, and the howling Wind seemed about to carry the building from its foundations. Tne biinding flashes of light- bing and peals: a thunder adaed to the ot ixtures: and confusion. Ladies screamed and fainted, and many ple made a rush for the doors. Brother To with great presence of ordered the bahd to piay, and the Tnuste had haa the effect of quieting the fears of the people. FREAKS OF THE LIGHTNING. A railing on the top of the Pension office was struck by lightning and twisted into fantastic Shapes; & portion of it was carried entirely away. Lightning struck a brick house south of the medical museum building, on 10th street. e flag pole in front of Police Headquarters was cut down by lightning. Several trees were suuck in the suburbs of the city. The owners of many houses whose roofs were blowa off. allege that their houses were first struck by ad 0 sifu won struck Oy Mghtatng aud tae an r ant back walls attered.

NEARLY THIRTREN HUNDRED BLOWN DOWN. The number of trees reported by the poll a8 being blown down up to noon to-day footrd Up 1,260, This, of course. does not include very Many which have been partially broken and others mutilated by limbs being broken, «c.— Probably a thousand more. This ts not 5) bad as it might bave been, out of 53.00 trees planted by the parking commission. | Most of this damage was in the northern and nortn- Western part of the city. 400 STRERT LAMPS DAMAGED. Superintendent Batley, in charge of street lamps and lamp posts, states that great dam- age wae done the street lamps—some 300 or 400 lamps have been broken and fully 400 will re quire repairs. In some cases the lamps were taken Clean off the posts and dashed into Pieces, and one lamp-post was blown dowa b, sheer force of the wind. DWELLINGS AND STORES UNROOFED, Houses were unroofed in every section of the elty, the wind rolling up the sheets of tin like paper.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE SEWERS. Major Twining states that overflows on the Une of the Avenue on such occasions as last evenirg can hardly be averted by any system of sewerage. He says that there will have to be another sewer put in on a line with the B street sewer, nearly or quite as large, to carry off the water from the sewers now running down trom South Washington into the present Bstreet cewer. This will save such overflows as that of last Bight. The B street sewer is Lot of sufficient size to drain the space between New York avenue and south B street on such ocessions. Lieut. Hoxie s’ates that his new intercepting sewer on New York avenue was fully tested last night, running fall for some Ume, and that it stood the teat perfectly. The flow of water down from the county into the Boundary street sewer northeast is represented asbavirg been very great and considerable damage was done to the county roads by Washing. | REPAIRING AND PROTECTING PROPERTY, The District Commissioners this morning sent word to Major Brock to set all the police at work to protect both public and private prop- erty until da: can be rej 4 to re- fieve the trees trom the shattered and-aliapt- Gated tree- boxes, prop them up where feastbie, and when there is aby hope of saving them, until the parking commission can replace the tree boxes.
