At 2:f0 o'clock this afternoon a terrible bail-storm visited this city, doing much damage to vegetation. The hail-stones were fully one inch in diameter, and a great many people were injured. For balf an hour business was euspended all over the city, travel on tbe street being perilous and almost impossible, while the noise of tbe pelting hail prevented indoor labor. There was a general stampede throughout tbe city, and for a time it seemed as though terrible rum would resolt The rain fell in torrents, the streets were tlooded and tbe .round was white with nuggets of frozen water. Several heavy, bolts of thunder added alarm to the situation, but at S o'clock tba storm had passed away. Trees were almost denuded of leaves anil great numbers of window lights were broken. Telephone wires were badly damaged by beiug broken down and much loss results therefrom. Numerous runaways have been reported, the horses becoming frightened at tbe bail and one driver on Hice street was seriously injured by. a fall.

LOOSE QUARANTINE METHODS. No Precautions Taken at Stettin Consul lOHngc's Dismissal. Washington, Oct 4. The Department of State has received a report from Consulgeneral Edwards, at Berlin, dated Aug. .23 last which fully confirms tho statement made by the Associated Press reporter in Germany, relative to tho loose and ineffectual quarantine methods practiced at Stettin. Tbe original statements were made upon tbe authority of Dr. Schultze, the royal district physician, but were afterwards denied by bim. Tbe facts in the case are as follows: James C , Kellogg was the United States consul at Stottin in the early stages of tbecholera epidemic. Hedid not remain at his post but, according to the statements of the consul-general, be signed in blank a number of consular certificates and absented himself from Settin. That fact did not prevent bis sending to tbe State Department nn elaborate official report describing in detail the alleged effective quarantine regulations instituted at Stettin to guard the United States from-cholera-infected immigrants eomiug from that port Hut Mr. Edwards, the consul general at Berlin, was not satisfied, and after warning the State Department that Consul Kellogg would probably send along as facts the matters told to him by the Stettin authorities as having happened during bis three mouths1 absence, went to Stettin and himself made a personal investigation of the state of affairs. At this point it may be noted that Kellogg was oroxnptly removed from otiice by the Secretary of State for "absence from his post without leave, and neglect of omcial duty." Consul-general Edwards's report did not agree with Kellosg's report in many particulars, and certainly it convicts Dr. Schultze of making a false denial. The report of Mr. Edwards, which is addressed to Assistant Secretary Wharton, reads as follows: Sir I have the honor to report that I arrived at Stettin on the 20th of August I called on tbe Prussian government physician, tbe royal municipal-physician and the police yesterday. Those are the authorities that bave direction of tho sanitary arrangements of tbe province of Tomcrania and of the city and suburbs of Stettin. I was otticiallv assured by all that neither a real nor a suspected case of cholera had occurred at Stettin. In conversation with the royal district physician. Dr. Schultze, 1 learned that the examinations made by the health authorities of Stettin of emigrants passing through Stettin were given little attention. Consul Kellogg stated to me Sept. 20 that he had learned that fifty emigrants from the infected districts of Russia had passed through Stettin to the United States. I Instructed tbe consul to cable the facts to the health authorities at New York. This Information, it appears, was collected by Consal iieHorg'tinlT after-be -as charged with neglect of duty, lie has been very active in interviewing tho health authorities of fatettln during the pat week, and I have no doubt but what he will report what they now say as facts. Succumbing to Colder Weather. Berlin, Oct. L Tbe setting in of colder weather has assisted in the repression of cholera everywhere. Under tbe warnings of Professor Kocb, the authorities dnring the winter will effect such sanitations that will enable them to cope with a chance outbreak in tbe ' spring. ' The commission on the formation of a sanitary law has Professor Koch, Dr. Voncoler and other scientists to assist it. Surprise is expressed that Professor Vircbow has no share in tbe work of the commission. A lame excuse is given that he was absent from Berlin at tbe time the body was formed. The probable reason is the late discord existing between Professor Vircbow and Professor Kocb. Professor Vircbow has iust completed a great ethnio work entitled "Crania Ethnia Americana," wbich he intends to send to Chicago. Berlin is free of cholera, but occasional cases of choleraic disorders are reported in the slums of Charlottenburg. A bargeman's wife there was seized yesterday and died in a few hours. The papers bave ceased giving more than a bare record of tbe deaths. Careful estimates of the etiect of the epidemic upon the trade of Hamburg plaee tbe decrease at 70 per cent The people of Hamburg are contident of a speedy restoration of commerce. They recall the catastrophe of the great fire, which laid tbe city in ashes and paralyzed its trade, yet soon it became greater than ever. Little Freda Is Dead. Chicago, Oct L Little Freda Koenig is dead. Freda was the eleven-months-o d babe whose mother and two brothers were reported buried' at sea from tbe cholera ship Kugia, while Freda was supposed to have left New York to continue the journey alone and to have gone astray somewhere on tbe railroad between the Atlantio sea-board aud 'Chicago. The mystery was cleared up to-day, the health officers here ascertaining that it was Freda's eight-year-old brother Paul who escaped tbe plagne and that Freda and her brother Carl and mother were tbe ones who perished on the ocean. Paul is yet in quarantine at Swinburne island, but will now be sent on to bis father in Chicago. Quarreling- Hoards of Ilraltli. Dktroit. Oct 1. The strained relations that have existed for soma week, between the State Hoard of Health and tae Detroit board, on accountf certain quarantine relations, bare tinallv resulted in an open rupture. The agreement entered into by tbe two boards, by which the State board was to pay half of the salaries of the local inspectors, is oil'. Secretary Baker, of the f State board, mailed City Health Ofhcur DntTiela a letter to that effect. Dr. Dutiicld attributes .the trouble between bis own board' and the State board to political influences. ' Notes of the Epidemic. In Buda-Pestb yesterday there were eight fresh oases and live deaths. In Cracow there were four fresh cases of cholera yesterday and two deaths. Two fresh cases of cholera and two deaths from tbe disease were reported at Havre yesterday. In Paris and suburbs, yesterday, thirtyfit e new cases and twenty-one deaths were reported to the authorities. One hundred cases of cholera have been reported at Porteb a suburb of Boulogne, France, in tbe last ten da vs. and twentyone patieuts have died of the disease. There were oighty-tive fresh cases at Hamburg yesterday, twenty-four deaths, and i: 8 burials. Only f02 persons are under treatment in tbe cholera hospitals. The theaters are doing a tremendous business. Beer gardens and variety shows were patronized last night as not in the previous six months. Vrrdivt Against the OH Trnt. Albany. N. Y.. Oct 1. The Court of Appeals, second division, to-day handed down a decision in the celebrated case of Ueorge Kiee. against the trustees of the Standard Oil Trnst in 16 Mr. Rice purchased some of tbe stock of the trust in open market but was never able to obtain a transfer on

the books, the allegation being made that be ' wad hostile to the trnst He began suit to compel the transfer and succeeded at the trial. The general term of tbe Supreme t i at a - a

court nrst reversed ine judgment holding that Mr. Kioe was not entitled to this ordinary right of a stockholder. Tbe Court of Appeals reverses the general term judgment and orders tbe transfer to be made. The case bas excited unusual interest, by reason of tbe claim put forth by the trust that a corporation or association, floating its stock iu the market could refuse record transfer to a purchaser bv reason of bis alleged personal bostility to tbe corporation or association. AETHER CRONIX MUUDEUER. Thomas Geohan, who is Alleged to Have Dealt the Fatal fllow, l ocated in Oregon. CniCAGO, Oct 1.

He is said to be Thomas Geoghan, who is now confined in the Oregon penitentiary nnder the name of Thomas Coleman. Geogban as a well-known crook, and was in this city at the time of the Cronin murder, but hss not heretofore been suspected of complicity in the crime. Tbe Chicago police deny that they are looking for Geogban. or that they want him on any particular charge, but dispatches received here to-night from Portland declare that tbe penitentiary officials admit that application has been made to have the man brought back here.

Tracts as Novels. Charles Dudley Warner, in llsri-er. Another complaint of tbe summer reader is that he is solicited to read traets thinly disguised as novels. Some zealous young woman, whose soul is stirred bv sociologio problems by the inequality and pecuniary dependence of women, by tbe neglect of children, by tbe degradation of girls is

moved to write a story. Her style is a compound of rhetorical scold in and tbe report of the district reader; her characters are out out of pasteboard, and it drawn from "high life" exhibit only the writer's isnoranceof that life; her philosophy is crude, and her dialogue is without diicrimination of character or tune. Tbe motive be happens on is very likely a good one. and in the bauds of a master the story would bave power and influence, but used as she uses it tbe outcome is as weak in effect as it is oflensiveto good taste. Tbe summer reader ssys that these writers are making a slop-bowl of literature. It would be more polite if he said waste-basket The newspaper critie in bis baste sometimes characterizes these stones as "strong' because the writers use coarse languaae and the technical terms of physiology and legal enactments, but even tbe painter of horrors knows that he must keep within tbe limit of bis art, and that bis effective work is done in fine touches and by delicate coloring. The same epithet "strong7' is applied to what may be called studies in morbid anatomy, whose only claim to be considered realistic is ouo that might attach to a description of a neglected gunshot wound in a mephltio hospitaL This is not scientific enough for the columns of a medical journal, and tbe summer reader says that this failure does not give it the slightest literary quality. . THE WORLD'S FA III BUILDINGS.

They Are Made of Iron Frames with a Platter Casing. n. c. Banner, in Harper. "The whole thing is a sketch," said one of the projectors; and in a certain sense it is a sketch, in lines of iron and wash of plaster. This is not an accident; it is tbe aspect, which, in the opinion of the builders of the fair, a group of buildings of this character should present Ail, or almost all. of the structures mast necessarily be twru porarv and removable or converti ble to other uses. All must be of great size; all must be put up in a very limited space of time. This involves tbe adoption of the iron-frame system of construction, and practically makes elaborate internal decoration an impossibility. Thia situation has been frankly accepted by the architects. Tbey bave left it to tbe exhibits and their accessories to decorato the inside; their own task has been to make of walls and roofs a picture pleasing in general composition and harmonious in detail. An iron frame generally means an iron casing, but, to carry out a scheme like this, it was necessary to find some material less obdurate, more easily bandied, and more susceptible of artistic treatment This material was found in a combination of plaster and jnto fibre, called stall", which combine adaptability to all lornis of plastic handling with a stiffness and toughness almost like wood. This stuff has made possible effects of construction which could never have been attempted under the same conditions with any other material. It is prepared as quickly as water, and plaster, and tibre cau be mixed together; it may be mixed coarse or tine, rough or smooth in surface, as may be desired; it may be cast or molded: it may be colored: and when it is diy and ready for use it is handled almost exactly f like wood bored, sawed and nailed. This, then, is tbe wash in which tbe great sketch of the White City is executed. It takei every form that is necessary to clothe and ornament the iron skeletons; it suggests rather than aimnlates stone, and, considered lor itself as a building material, iUhas certain agreeable qualities of brightness and softness. AMERICAN FATHERS. A Physician Criticises Thmn for Neglecting' Their Families. Dr. Henry I Tay or. in Popular Science Monthly So much has been said about the frivolity, incompetence, or fusniness of American mothers that it will not be amiss to inquire into the characteristics of our fathers of families. With the best intentions in the world the time that a city min can spend with his family is usually very limited, and he is not always in th mood to exert a helpful inllueuce. xvbeu heroturns at night worn out with business cares, and often prefers tbe club, lodge, or neighboring corner to his family circle; his wife may see little of him and bis children less, it is not a matter of indifference, however, even in regard to health, whether the children enjoy a due proportion of their father's companionship, for that is or should be a vital factor in the children's growth and education, and. whenever they are deprived of it, certain eleincuts ot character and mind Are almost always absent Look around among your friends where the children have grown up without a father, and see if your observation does not show that there is some quality ot mind or heart, some check . or balance wanting, that no one else could supply. I observe that American fathers, whether from tbe exactions of business or other reatons, do not ordinarily como to my otiice - witb their ailing children. Tbe whole matter is often left in the bands of the wife or some relative. Germans are more apt to come than Americans, and Hebrews most of all; and indeed 1 cannot refrain from expressing my admiration of the domestic life of tbe better class of Jews in New York, which, so far as I have observed it, is in many respects more nearly what it should be thau that of any class in our community. How .America Got It Name. F. H. Mason, in Harper's Magazine. It was not until 1S37 that Alexander von Humboldt. in hiscritical examination-of the history and geography of tbe new world, pointed out tbe real culprit, and showed beyond question that the name "America" wasiirst suggested iu a small Latin treatise on cotmograpby, written by one Martin Waldseeinuher. and published during the year 1507 at isaint Die. a village situated in the upper valley of the river Meurthe, in southeastern .Lorraine. This little book was entitled Cosmographiae Introduotio Introduction of Cosmography and the etory of its authorship and publication. and the unforeseen part that it played in christening the Western hemisphere, forms one of the most curious narratives in the whole record of bibliocraphy. Whether Humboldt made this interesting discovery by mere accident of research, or was led to i t by Foscarim or Bandini who in two successive editions of Solmus bad noted the suggestive passage in the Cosmographiae. without apparently comprehending its real importance-cannot now be ascertained. However thia may bave been, it was tbe antbor of Cosmos wbo first took up seriously the tnsk of vindicating tbe long-malinged Floreittine.aud in sodoins throw into the arenaa topic in the discussion of which bibliographers have ransacked libraries, labored aud disputed, until tbe whole line ot evidence bas been developed, arranged, aud tbo demonstration made complete. A publication which in tbe dim early twilight of American history made the little hamlet of Saint Die tbe godmother of onr mighty continent is an objoctof no ordinary interest to Americans, aud this fourth centenary of Columbus's discovery would seem to be a fitting moment iu which to bring together in simple narrative form tbe substance of what is known concerning the Cosmographiae itself, tbe men by whom it was written aud published, tbe plao where they lived, and tbe motive by which their work was inspired. Hlzh Time. Philade'phia Times. A Cornell College girl bas taken up veterinary snrgery as her professional study, and means tomake it her future profession. This is a departure in the right direction. It is high time that women should be assured by one of her own ser tht the cow does not bite, Somebody ielleri l'trV Dnring the performance at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon some of the chained lightning held in an electric-light wire escaped from the falling of the wire.
