THE TRACK OF THE TORNADO, Damage in Washington and Vicinity. THE CAPITAL CITY ON THE EDGE OP THE GREAT CUBAN HURRICANE—A TORNADO WITH ITS CENTER 4 FEW MILES NORTH OF THE DISTRICT DOES GREAT DAMAGE IN MARYLAND—BUILDINGS WRECKED AND PERSONS INJURED—A CHURCH DESTROYED. ‘The Cuban hurricane paid Its respects to Wash- ington yesterday by sending over from its pat to the west of us a generous quantity of clouds, wind, and rain. All day yesterday the sky looked angry, with a deep, heavy background of sullen cloud Danks, leaden and unbroken, while closer to the earth scurried lighter masses of molsture, seem- ingly whipped from the banks by the strong gusts ‘wat biew almost constantly from the southwest, Occasionally a deeper cloud would come rushing Up from the horizon and then, whirr! down came the rain in great drops, filling the gutters and sewers. Amateur weather prophets, ignorant Of the cause of the storm, would promise a cienring Up after each Murry as, perhaps, the sun caine out with a deceptive sinile’ that lasted but a minute, then the Yawning clouds Would clos: over the Welcome brigutness and the sky woula resume its dull, monotony of color, relieved only by cioud- ues. MANY CURIOUS PHENOMENA Were observed in the movements of the clouds. The air was filled with currents and counter cur- Tents and cross currents, and at times the general mass of cloud banks were moving steadily, grandly eastward, Wuen a light, flippant piece of wotsture would revel and go sailing away 1u the opposite direction. Near the Wasuington Monument tese Oddities ‘of movement were particularly notice- avie; there seemed to be a constant whirl in the air, Witu draugics rising and falling around we great shaft, aring Une clouds into shreds and Whirling Ulem in Uie most erratic Way. From the Capitol Uome the sight was a maguifcent one, aud very oiten the low-tlying rain’ clouds would €nvelop or pass below ine spectator, hiding the Capitol grounds and the city behind Wegray inist. ‘The stOcm contiutied all day, relieved “by” occa- slonai spelis of sunsuine, and the wind blew flerce- ly ail night untilearly thls morning. Betore we end came, however, considerable dauage Was done by tue Wind and ‘rain Uurouguout tuls city and Vicinity. ‘The driving torrents Washed out banks and choked sewers, ut the heaviest damage was one by the wind. ” AU about 4 o'clock in the atter- noon the Worst of We storm Was felt, developing into a hurricane of respectable size, with its center about 12 or 15 miles tothe north of the city. THE WORST OF THE TORNADO Was about five minutes 1n duration, during which the wind dlew at about 60 milesan hour. AtGien- dale, on the Baltimore and Potomac road, the St. George’s Episcopal chapel, a traine structure, Wort about $2,000, Was eltirely destroyed. At the store or Mr. "A.

WHAT THEY SAY AT THE SIGNAL OFFICE ABOUT THE STOUM IN THIS VICINITY. ‘The prediction officer at the Signal Office agrees ‘with everybody else that the recent storm was a severe one. “It was caused,” he sald, “by the hurricane that was discovered near the Cuban Islands a few days ago. AS long as the storm Was on the ocean or the gulf it was very regular, its circular shape being almost per- Teer, Dat as soon as it struck the land, Just east of New Orleans, it became irreguiar 4m shape, elonatingconsiderably in the line of its path.
