Cadcts—Organizing a New Benefit Seciety — Sundry Matters. The storm which swept over the city yesterday left plenty of evidence of its destructiveness in Georgetown. A good deal of damage was done, though no per- scns were reported as being injured. Trees were blown down on almost every street, S4th street presenting a desolate scene after the storm, large trees in the yards of many private places succumbing to the fury of the wind. A big tree in the back yard of Mr. Greenbaum's residence, on M street, toppled over against the house, while on Potomac street a tree was blown down directly in front of a residence, com- pletely closing the inmates in the dwelling. Early in the storm the ruanirg opera- tions of the Georgetown and Tenleytown road were checked. Big balis of fire ran along the trolley wires and wurned out the generators at the power house. 8 eral trolley poles out in the count down, and on 22d Street just above U street the breaking off of large limbs from the immense trees on either side of the street broke the trolley wires ed the ground, making # pretty electrical display. An unknown bicyclist coming down U street sped across the tracks, nol secing the troliey wires hanging a few feet from the ground. He struck the wires and the shock threw him off his wheel and carried him through the air for seven or eight feet. He was rot seriously in jured, but remounted his bicycle. The burning out of the generato: the power house cut off the current, and for over four hours the road was tied up. Current was fiually secured by connecting with the Four Mile Run branch of the Mount Vernon road. The Great Falls road also suffered, and the treliey wires at the Prospect avenue terminal were blown to the ground, th: electricity running through the fallen wires hissing and spluttering like a snake, and making the immediate locality dangerous which touch- ‘The wires were finally cut.
