Interesting Information Given at Meetings of the Home Missionary Society. The sixty-sixth anniversary meeting of the American Home Missionary Society was brought to a close at the First Congregational Church ast evening in the presence of quite a large and enthusiastic gathering. After having called upon President Harrison at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the society re- sumed its sestion at 2 o'clock, when the Congre- gational Sunday School and Publishing Society, an auxiliary of the American Home Missionary Society, through its secretary, Mr. G.

During the year $62,000 had been expended, leaving a balance of $365. A very gratifying feature of the report was the state ment that the society was free from debt.

A Veritable Cloudburst in Some Pilaces— Great Amount of Damage Done. The most severe rain storm of the season visited We yesterday afternoon between 4nd 5o’clock. In the business portion of the city the storm assumed the nature of a veritable cloudburst. The temperature fell about 20 degrees, causing a lively shower of hail, Con- siderable damage was done to cellars by the accumulation of water in the streets and sewers. At the store of Messrs. Woodward & water forced its way through the skylights into the silk department, causing some damage to ‘the goods on the shelves, The cellars of R. Goldschmid,F. 8. Williams and the Vienna dining rooms on F street were flooded. The cellars of Scheller & Stevens, the Marble Saloon, the also flooded. At 216 and 218 9th street there were two feet of water in the cellars. WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRUCK. Lightning struck the roof of the St. James Ho- guished. The electric wires at the London Bazar, on Market space, were struck and the insulating material burned, filling the building with smoke, cansing an alarm of fire. Con- siderable damage was done to the trees und shrubbery streets and in the parks, and a large tree at 24th and Perinsylvania avenue was blown down. is storm extended well in toward Baltimore, but was not so severe as here. In the neighborhood of Patuxent it was accompanied by a little hail. A GEORGETOWN TROLLEY SCARE. Just as the second storm, that came up about 8 o'clock last night, was raging at its height an accident, very pretty froma spectacular point of view, butexccedingly dangerous, took place on High street near the corner of N. At ‘that point the lightning had been playing around for some time, and just at 8:30 o'clock it seemed to gather all possible force and, with a shock and # flash that attracted attention above every thing else, struck one of the guard wires strung on the poles of the Tenleytown Electric Kail road Company, cutting it in two and throwing the illuminated ends down in the street. For some time the bright electric sparks danced and eapered about the wire's ends, making a sight of unusual interest. ‘Just at this time a team of trembling horses came by, but when the wires were sighted they suddenly stopped, and for ten minutes refused absolutely to move, but stood eyeing the sparks ina stupefied und almost insensible manner. Officers Bailey and Jett came along before an ignorant person had ventured too near, and stationing themselves in protecting way sent to the power house of the company for @ live wire man to repair the damage. In due time the man arrived and properly adjusted matters, The broken wires trailing to the street and spitting out electric sparks caused a suspension of travel on the street for some time. All over town damages were done by the storm. DAMAGES AROUND TENLEXTOWN, In the region of Tenleytown agood deal of damage was also done. A house, which Mr. John Buchanan had partially erected,was blown from its foundation. ‘The crops on the farm of Mr. Charles Shoemaker were entirely destroyed, century-old trees were blown up by the roots on the farm of Mr. Thomas Hurdle, window panes were smashed by the acore and in many other ways did the storm leave its tracks. So vio- lent was the shock that struck the tree of Mr. Hurdle that he was thrown from a chair on which he was sitting, receiving a severe jar at the time. The skylight of the store of Minnix, Fonda & Co. was broken and goods damaged to the ex- tent of about $500. ‘The cellar was completely flooded. —— EXCURSIO: The Capitol Lodge, No. 11, Independent Order of Mechanics, gave a delightful excursion to River View last evening.

The financial system of the coming fiscal year has been now matured and agreed upon by the city council and approved by the mayor. Tax- ation continues the same—$2 on the $100, with 10 per cent discount for prompt payment. The licenses continue as last year, except that the $50 liquor licenses have been ‘increased to $60 per annum. ‘The appropriations for the annial expenditures are the same as last year, except that the appropriation for certain public work has been increased, as follows: Public schools, $1,000; new streets und newers, 5,500; cleaning and repairing streets, 500; law ex- mses, $800; expenses of city council, &c., $200; fire plugs, $60. ‘The reductions are €386 in repuirs and’ expenses of public property and $500 in interest on the public debt. There was, however, in last year's bill £12,000 for the repayment of temporary loans to the Danks. No appropriation for that purpose is required this year, 0 that while, the spproprie- tion bill of 1891-92 footed up $107,367.50 that of 1892-98 is only $101,567.50.
