EXCURSIONISTS IN PERIL
AT CHESAPEAKE BEACH
Women in Party Faint While Trying
to Reach Boat?Experiences
on River.
Combining rain. lightning and wind in
generous proportions, the storm which
strrii-k Washington and the entire section
around lure yesterday wrought thou
sands of dollars of damage to property.
While Washington suffered largely, by
far the greatest loss occurred at pleas
ure resorts nearby.
At Chesapeake Beach a portion of the
boardwalk was swept away. Hats and ;
clothing were torn away from Eeveral
woman excursionists who braved the fury
of the storm to get to the boat, the
Dreamland, from Baltimore. Two of the
women in the party. Miss I. V. Dunn of
2137 East Federal street, and Margaret
Michel. Hudson street, both of Bal
timore. fainted and were tarried from tht
I pier by two Washington men. B. I. Boudren.
an employe of the Second National Bank,
and E. Mullin of Rhode Island avenue.
They came to this city by train, and
were taken to the home of Washington
friends.
On account of the water on the tracks
the train which ieft the beach at ?
o'clock made several trials before being
able to make one of the steep partes
the road. After making two triads, the
engine was sent forward al a highrate
of speed, and when it had nearly reached
the top of the grade the couplings be
tween two of the cars gave way. in
rear cars started backward swiftb. The
engineer reversed and overtook them be
fore they reached the bottom.
of recouping, during which a ? lumber
of windows were broken, led manyto
believe the train was wrecked, and man>
of the woman passengers fainted.
Hundreds of Trees Uprooted.
Hundreds of trees at Chesapeake Beach
j and throughout Calvert county were up
| rooted or had large limbs torn from
I them. At North Beach. Md.. several cot
tages narrowly escaped being crushed, by
I falling trees. The flat ground to the
south of this beach appeared to be a vast
i take.
Farms in the county suffered heavily,
young vegetables being torn from the
ground or carried away by the torrents
of water. Hailstones of large size beat
down plants in hundreds of places and
tore into shreds the leaves of many shade
Along the Potomac river several small
boats were sunk and large numbers were
torn from their moorings. Many boating
parties out on the water had to hurry to
the land Others which ran in to shoal
water and anchored were blown across
the river, draeging their anchors.
A cabin cruiser went down off Fort
Foote when the storm was at its height.
1 A party of four mfn who were aboard
were saved by soldiers from the fort.
I The launch Augusta, belonging to
Daniel Though ran. jr., had to be towed to
Alexandria bv the launch Mary of that
city, when it broke down about four mile?
south of thf city. Mr. Loughran and a
partv of friends were on the Augusta
when the mishap to the engine occurred.
Two Homes Struck by Lightning.
! Two houses in this city were struck by
lightning, >1 &th street northeast and
72." *th street southeast.
It was about 5:40 o'clock when light
ning struck the cupola on the house at
101 8th street northeast, the home of W.
S Scott Herman. The dwelling was dam
| aged to the amount of about $100. Mrs.
Herman was badly frightened, but no
one was hurt, although Mr. Herman felt
the force of the shock.
A heavy cable used for conducting elec
tricity into the establishment of Vincent
Marino. Mh street southeast, at
tracted a flash of lightning, and a blue
flame ir the place drew the attention of
a man in the street, who thought Ma
rino's effects were burning. An alarm
summoned several companies of firemen
to the scene. An examination of the
premises was made, but failed to dis
close evidence of fire.
Rain Extinguishes Blaze.
The home of E. M. Duncan at Alta
Vista. Md.. was struck by lightning. The
fire that resulted was extinguished by
the heavy rain before much damage was
I done. The chimney was knocked from
'? thf house. Fairfax loun-y, Va.. suffered
j heavily from the storm. Wheat and
fruit tret*s were damaged by th ? terrific
wind. At Burke, a town of about 100
houses, all communication was cut oT
from the outside. A lumber yard be
longing to Fleet Dyer was damaged to
the extent of ab. u ?4,000. The home of j
C. E. White, agent there tor the Southern
railway, had its roof torn off; a*barn be-I
lonpring to K. M. Merchant was complete- |
ly destroyed and three box cars on a sid- j
ing were blown off the tracks.
Two case*} of heat prostration occurred.
Miss Mary Hunter, twenty-three years
old. of Baltimore, was overcome while at
luncheon in a downtown cafe. She was
taken to Emergency Hospital and last
night \% as able to return home. William
Gross, thirty-four years old, colored, of
Congress Heights, was overcome at 11th
and W streets. He was removed to
Freedmen's Hospital.
According to reports brought in by lo
cal fishermen, the storm did not hit the
vicinity of Harpers Ferry. Scores of an
glers who went to points in the moun
tains near there knew nothing of the big
storm until they reached home last j
night.
Almost of Hurricane Force.
The commotion on the river is described
by those who were out in it as having
been unusual in violence and of long
duration, one storm following another in
rapid succession and the wind reaching
almost hurricane force. While the blows
were severe on the Virginia side of the
river, the worst of it was felt In Mary
land,' and reports received state that at
various points from Fort Foote to the !
mouth of the Potomac, buildings were
blown down, trees uprooted and other
damage done.
The path of one of the heaviest storms
swept across River View, the old ex
cursion resort in Maryland. Just above
Fort Washington, and the damage there
done will put it out of service for a
time. The big "shoot the chutes," which
was erected about eighteen years ago
by the late Capt. E. S. Randall, when
River View was in the fullness of its
popularity as an excursion resort, col
lapsed. and in falling crushed the engine
house containing the power plant, and
other machinery.
Engineer Robb had been in the en
l gine room only a minute or two before
| the chute tumbled down and crushed
I th? building under it. In addition,
one end of the dining room was de
j molished by the wind, the dancing
pavilion was unroofed and many trees
I were blown down. River View this season
is being used as a colored excursion
I resort, and when the storm broke sev
eral hundred excursionists from this
city were at the resort. While they
were greatly terrified, no one was hurt.
Little Damage at Marshall Hall.
At Marshall Hall the storm was
severe, but beyond blowing down a
number of trees no damage was done I
the park. The steamer St. Johns, on
her way to this city from Colonial
Beach, ran into the storm off Persim- I
mon point, but she made her way
through it in safety and arrived here
on scheduled time.
A large fleet of small launches and j
other pleasure craft was down the
river for over-Sunday outings and most
of the owners, when the storm was
seen coming, sought shelter in creeks
and secluded harbors. Many refused
to take the chance of coming up the
river last night, but remained in har
bor until this morning. This gave
rise to reports of extensive damage and
loss in the pleasure fleet, but the fact
is that those injured were, compara
tively few. The launch Kate S., be
longing to Tra Meyers, was blown
ashore at River View, but her owner
expects to get her afloat today. Two
other launches are also reported ashore
at River View.
Other Craft Go Ashore.
At Marshall Hall the launch Mary
E.. belonging to H. E. Depper. was car
ried ashore, but succeeded in getting
afloat and came home. The hull of the :
boat was somewhat damaged and it !
was hauled out at Gregory's this
morning for repairs. Capt. Depper re- !
ports two or three other power boats :
ashore at Marshall Hall, but it is ;
though* they will all be floated today.
The launch Mary S.. belonging to
Capt. Deyer. was carried ashore near
the steel plant, the Lauren L. went
ashore near Notley Hall and the Atler.
belonging to J. H. Marconi, stranded
near Bryans point. All succeeded in
getting afloat and returning home last
night or early this morning. The
launch Mary, belonging to Dr. Walker,
lost her awning In the blow, and the
yawl Serena, owned by Clyde Cruett.
is also reported to have lost awnings
and to have been otherwise damaged.
An unidentified launch is reported
ashore at Fort Foote. Md. At Alexan
dria a launch belonging to Frank Pul
len was sunk at her moorings, foot of
Queen street, and a launch, with
Charles Nails, Charles Rambo and sev
eral others aboard, sank off the ship
yard. but the occupants were brought
safely ashore. Tt is stated the two
men swam to the shipyard wharf with
children on their backs.
The river schooner Oakland was (
caught below Alexandria by the gale I
and lost her mainsail, but otherwise
was not damaged.

TUESDAYTORANK
AS "BARGAIN" DAY
Many Local Stores; Tomorrow
to Offer Specials at Re
duction in Prices.
OBLIGEO TO DUPLICATE
MANY MONDAY FEATURES
Announcement of Interest to Trav
elers?Another "Opportunity" for
All Classes of Shoppers.
rVmorrnw will a red-letter day in '
many store* whose managers have
reached the conclusion that Tuesday
logically ?s a desirable day to feature
special lines.
Monday, of course, has always been
and doubtless will continue to be "the
l>est day of all" for general bargains,
but the stores are discovering that it is
110 longer possible to concentrate Mon
day's reductions within the hours of
"that day only," hence the necessity of
"starring" Tuesday.
One large department store on G street
will feature for tomorrow's travelers a
line of highly desirable satchels, suit
cases anu other leather and straw goods
?each article reduced because of some
slight scratch, stain or other trifling de
fect. which, incidentally, will be all the
mon> acceptable, since one dislikes to
create the impression that his traps are
too brand-new.
Another "Opportunity Day."
Tuesday's promotion into "opportunity
day," is owing, in large measure, to over
growing patronage due to increasing p?|?
ulation and to the fact that Washington's
ultra shoppers no longer buy in other
cities as in former times.
To quote an authority of the above
mentioned store, "from now on, through
out the summer, at least, Monday's re
ductions will be featured Tuesday, and,
indeed, right alontc. as no establishment
can afford to carry overstock."
Tomorrow, also, will be a banner day
at a large store on 7th street, when spe
cial reductions will be made in every de
partment?dry goods, household and
journey needs?and in readymade wear
! ings for women, children and men.
Should Be Same Advantages Here.
An old and conservative house in the
I neighborhood of 11th and F streets, com
I pel-led by competition of Washington's
department stores to create a "bargain"
I trade, said today through one of its busi- '
i ness heads that Tuesday in Baltimore is
an important day because it is also an 1
important market day. And. looking
over the local field, it seemed that Tues
day should present the same advantage
here. Naturally, the stores are crowded
Mondays because of Sunday advertise
ments, but the man:" automobiles and
| carriages around Center market Tues
i days give evidence 01' the many custom- j
' ers who. having finished marketing and
J being in the business section, have the
balance ol* the morning to shop.
Monday's reductions hold good tomor-'
j row at a 7th street department store
j that features as Tuesday's "special"
coats and suits for misses and children
' which are reduced to less than half of
j recent prices and will come in usefully
j for fall school wear.
Greatest Cement Production in 1913.

| cal survey reported today. This com
pares with 83,351,191 barrels in 1912,
valued at $67,461,513. Pennsylvania,

leads all other states; Indiana came
next, with 10,872,574 barrels, and Cali
| fornia third, with 6,159,182 barrels.
"Plucking" Board Hard at Work.
The naval "plucking" board is hard at!
work on the records of naval officers with j
a view to the recommendations to be

the retired list. There have been fifteen
vacancies created during the year in the
commissioned personnel above the grade
of lieutenant, leaving twenty-five vacan
cies to be provided for by compulsory re
tirement.

GEN. JOHN P. TAYLOR DEAD.
NEW YORK, June 29.?Creditors who
have been working on plans to clear the
tangle caused by the failure of the Claflin
company met in various committees to
day to hear reports on progress made
and to outline proposals for the reor
ganization of the company.
Some of the merchandise creditors and
a few bankers expressed an opinion to
day that a plan or reorganization based
on a system that would make the whole
sale store here a purchasing and dis
tributing center for the Claflin retail
stores in this country and Canada would
be an excellent one.
Slow in Getting Reports.
The receivers hope to get an outline
of the financial status of the wholesale

it Is expected that It will be much
longer before statements can be obtained
as to the condition of the stores in other
