DAMAGE BY THE STORM

he ivy losses in pittsiuiu;. alleGIIKXV AMI ltlMlV. Tvrelve t horche SafTererf and Sixty rionii Wrrr Injured, Serrral of Wimm May Dir. riTTSIiURfJ. l'a March CI. The damage, by yr.-tTf!ay's storm probably will reach several hundred thousand dollars. The effect of the wind can be seen on all tides to-day. House, churches and many laree plants unroofed, bridges partly dismantled, fences and trees down and trolley, telegraph, telephone and tire alarm wires Xrosrt rated. A remarkable feature of the storm was the number of churches damaged. In Pittaburg and Allegheny and the immediate vicinity eleven houses of worship were more or l'-ss wrecked, but in only two of thm the Knotville Presbyterian Church and the Robinson I "nit erf Presbyterian Church did any casualties result. At the Knoxville church, through the chimney coming through the roof, probably thirtyfive persons were injured. A church also was wrecked near Wellsburg. W. Va. The local churches damaged are: St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal.. Rellefleld Presbyterian. St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic and Eighth-street Temple, cf Pittsburg; African Methodist Episcopal and St. WenceJaus Bohemian Roman Catholic, of Allegheny; First English Eutheran and United Presbyterian, of Rraddock; Knoxvill Presbyterian; St. Mary's Roman Catholic, of McKeo-. Rocks, and Robinson Run I'nlted Presbyterian Church, cf McIonald. Pa. The casualties, as far as reported, will not number mor than sixty injured, of whom five or six "are likely to die. Those probably fatally hurt were injured at th Knoxville Presbyterian Church and the Itobiiivon Run Presbyterian Church. The linemen in the employ of the different telegraph and telephone companies and the bureau of fire and lighting: were busy all night getting the wires In working order from the damage sustained during the ttorm. Lines were down in all directions, but the men at work repairing the damage expected to have the lines in working order soon. A i- uliar feature of the storm was that the Wrather Rureau records show only a maximum velocity of wind of thirty-six miles an hour. Colonel Frank Uidgeway, chief of the Pittsburg Weather Rureau. says It was only a squall, likely to occur at any time this season of the year. The conditions were cyclonic, but where tha wind was the strongest its velocity would not ixceed fifty or sixty miles an hour. The weather to-day Is blustery and snowy. High winds prevail, but the velocity Is not ttrong enough to do any more damage. Dispatches from surrounding towns In western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia rejort heavy damage from the storm. Cold Wrather and Lightning:. CINCINNATI. March 31. Unusually low temperatures with frosts are reported throughout the Ohio valley to-day, with much damage from high wind. Numerous llres in this section last night were due to lightning.

NEW YORK, March SI. Harmony between the warring factions and a playing schedule for the coming eeason are expected to be the results of the meeting of the National League club owners that bogins to-morrow night at the Fifth-avenu Hotel. An impression prevails that the question of the Leaguo presidency will not be considered at the meeting. Both factions appear to be willing to carry out the proposed plan of appointing a committee of three to run the affairs of the League during the coming season. According to a statement made by Charles II. Ebbctts. president of the Brooklyn club, A. G. Spalding's name will be put forward as one of the governing committee of three. He is further quoted as saying" "We will get together and probably decide on a governing board of the National League made up of Messrs. Young and Spalding and a third party. The selection, of course, remains with the National League." It is expected that the magnates will have many ditTerent opinions as to the schedule to be adopted. Reports Indicate that at least four and possibly six schedules will be presented for adoption, one of them by the Boston club, calling for Sunday gamm for that club. The season probably will open April 17, although Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, is said, to have prepared a schedule calling for the play to begin April Z). Shecknrri Signs -with Baltimore.

He said ho would not think of sending them out while the weather was so bad. Arthur Coulter, the new outfielder, Shannon and George I. Kinm reported during the day. They are all In first-class shape and are ready to don their uniforms for preliminary practice as soon as the weather will permit. They are unxious to have a few days of light work to prepare for the game with Cincinnati next Saturday. Manager Watklns was well pleased when Coulter put in his appearance. It is now floured that he will wear an Indianapolis uniform the coming season. Kihm is a big fellow and looks tit to make good at first base.
