I , , Greensboro, June 19.;-Late yesterday afternoon this city and section had a bad hail storm followed by almost a cloud burst of rain.. In the city the hail, was not . accompanied" by windi and the immense stones falling straight down did but little damage to glass ex cept on skylights, every one in the city being broken. At Pomona J. Van Lind leys immense green houses had all the glass broken, and thousands of pains in the Pomona cotton "factory - roof were smashed. : In the country north and west of the- city, it is reported this morning that the hail literfally ruined crops, - and the rain which followed swept away bridges, as well as flood ing the bottoms. Great drops of : hail began falling here, scarcely . without warning) and many horses being so un expectedly bombarded by stones falling from above ran away, but nobody seems to have been hurt. Many of the" Btones were even bigger than goose eggs, some measuring nine inches in circumference and others which were weighed reaching 'five ounces. Gar dens and fruit are greatly damaged, and any number of chickens were kill ed, and; every one a hail, stone struck on-the head, dropped' as if shot 'It was in f act ;and in truth is most power ful "hail and a terrible rain. .It is fear ed that the finishing touch was put on the propsect for wheat in all this sec tion. -The rains all last week delayed the harvest, and the ripe heads were bending in weight of fine fruitage. Many of the3e heads, over-ripe, had be- gunjto sprout on the stalk, and the hail and heavy ram yesterday literally mowed it down. ' - In the Superior court here yesterday afternoon, Dr. J.B. Matthews, who had arrived on a morning ; train from a sanatorium : in Baltimore, appeared with ' bis bondsmen, and renewed his five thousand dollar bond for his ap pearance after 'the Supreme , court paa'sej on his appeal from the judgment of twenty years sentence passed on him for the murder of his wife, i r. G. A. Summers, convicted and sen tenced for embeMling $1,800 fled and his two thousand . dollar : bond was forfeited. Summers had . beea sen tenced to fiv years in the pen" tentiary. r He took an appeal, and was around all the time until the Supreme court affirmed tits judgment, : when he sloped.

Hello, said the polite clerk with a declension on the latter half of tho in terrogatory. The answer came bak "send me a sample of Queen's Discov ery, and say, if you have any samples of toilet powder, 'or nice calendars, send a few of them, you know I buy my stamps from you " "Haven't any" was the loconic reply of the clerk. "So sorry, say, Would you mind seeing if you could get them elsewhere, and- here Central kindly saw them off. A moment later another violent ring.

What's your number 7 . 999, that's right, say, I'm going to send my servant down for a stamp, putit on for her on the let ter,5 and charge to me. The clerk with clenched teeth hung the receiver up, and before he could turn away, rz rz, siz lif bang! went the phone. It was hard to tell whether it was a discharge of lightning or whether Central had connected the Douma. The clerk, in his blandest manner asked, Hello? In the mean time a half dozen customers had dropped in. Is this 999? Yes, well I want something bnd have forgotten. Up went the receiver with a jam, eiyial to ft, beef trust astonishment, and the clerk proceeded to attend, to the wants of the many customers, looking as though he was the mildest mannered man that ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship. Next was a cpld storage ring, and from the other end of the wire came the sound of a sepulchral voice, "send up those, things I ordered." Who is this, please?" i"Never mind who I ani, attend to my order." "Where do you live?'-' "That's A nice question to ask me home where . else about this time the clerk began to wear a straw berry shade on his countenance and the glands of his neck were swelling like a turkey gobbler, and there was blood in his eye. . It was lucky for the other fellow that he could only be hit in the ear with sound, however, the Ponter kindly volunteered the necessary infor mation and located the residence which was next-door to; the ice plant. Hardly bad the receiver been hung up again, when zip bang criz-z-i went the phone, This fellow evidently means business" said the clerk to himself. - Hello?, "Is tlils Smith BrownJ',' Yes; -"What can I do for you?" ; Why, the Coroner's ju ry baa already done me the clerk's face to blanche, a strange expression appeared Jn his eyes, his head was diz zy and his voice had a hollow sound, as he asked, Central if it was connected with a morgue or a grave yard, and he rungff 4 dead htoLy''krJO?- The next ring, sounded as though the phene had been struck by a catapult, the clerk with' fear put the receiver to his ear, and at the same time, in a trembling voice,'! said Hello. 'Slave you any blackberries?""Any what?'; 'Blackberries," ; Now. this . inquiry proved that the drug store and not the grocery had been called, and so the po lite clerk replied: "no blackberries, but we have black pills,,''ee: :0 -Yt-'' The reply that came back was ex pressed in English as it is phoned "go to the devil " With thanks f or the in vitation the clerk modestly declined on account of the weather and hung up the receiver, saying he wished people would express themselves in vnla-puck. The next was a fierce ring, sounded like a call for an ambulance, it was the same thing, however it was a call for a plumber, and began in a tone of voice like a stage villain, "Why in the" but the heavy rain just then wasted the sulphur out of the message, and the party was informed that this was the undertaker's oHlJe, tho laat place he wanted. He began his meanio with wagnerian air and rung off in mez zo soprano, " , The liiat ring for the rlgy was evU dentiy from a woman with red hair and a temper accordingly, who talked so rapidly that uho was afraid the clerk at tho receiver would have tho hint word, Lut unfortunately tho nt:"Hng sounded an a column of pied ty e wou'd re.i l if printed.
