STORMS IN N.S.W.
HISTORIC SYDNEY CHURCH DAMAGED.
TWO MEN FROZEN TO DEATH.
Received August 4, 10.30 p.m. SYDNEY, August 4
Last night’s storm played havoc with historic St. George's Free Presbyterian Church in Castlereagh Street. The upper portion of the tower, 120 fbet high, canted, and displaced pieces which smashed
through the roof. The tower has a dangerous lean. The street is barricaded and tram traffic stopped. Gales, rain and snow are causing extensive damage in the country. A teamster near Crookwell had his camp banked in by snowdrift and was frozen to death. This is the second similar case at Crpokwell, where a half-caste was frozen to death a few days ago.
