E'ae Storm.

Last evening about $50 thunder
storm passed over this city. 1t did not
last long and the business men on
Market and King streets were glad that
it did not, as conai lerable quantity Of
hail fell breaking several pan4S of
glass in different sections of the city.
The hail, 10 doubt, has done consider
able damage TO the crops, and we pre-
sumo the peach crop has suffered also.
At 1890 there was another storm,
though the damage done was slight.
A house over Third street bridge was
struck by lighting, and we are informed
that the pier at New Castle was also
str uck.

Yesterday afternoon a number of
mean boys forced their way into Beth
any Baptist church, corner Of Elm and
Jackson street, and helped themselves
to the ice cream and cakes which were
there to be used at the straw berry festi-

by hoy creeping in at window, and
then letting the others in at the door
The destruction of as much cream as
they could eat would have been cheer

1t is all wrong to let your church
choir 60 off singing in the opera OF
"Pinafore" between Sundays. A Dire td-
ful thing recently happened on this
account at California funeral. The
pastor, a tall, white-haired man, much
resembling an admiral, arose in the
pulpit and had no sooner finished, in a
sing tone. the remark, "We miss
his presence in his usual haunts,'
than the choir sprang to its feet and
shouted in return, "And so does his

vHE "wIDOw" OLIyER.

She Plants her HOOf ON the Sacred
Soil Of Harrlshu q rg, asd She wants
10 Lecture on Temperance.
Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday.
A fat, puffy, dumpy looking female
in linen ulster and black bonnet wad
died into the Mayors Office this morn
ing and insinuated in a decided and
unmistakabie manner that she was
Mrs. Mary Oliver, and she wanted to
lecture on Temperance in this city. She
was prospecting for hall and pub
licity, and she evidently thought that
the announcement of her name and OBJ
ject would chill the Mayor SO that he
would try to prevent her from lecturing
make martyr of her and give her no
toriety, 80 to speak. But His Honor is
too much of gentleman for that.
He told her to lecture, if she wanted
to and could pay the license and could
draw an audience, but she wanted to
know whether she could draw an audi
ence, and was informed that we had
prominent lecturers here this year who
have poured forth their oratory to ex-
ceedingly small houses. The "Wid-
der" was not in the least discouraged
by the prospect. She has brass and
more gall than circus agent, and she
started out on hunt for some of the
temperance people Of the city.
She visited two Of the leaders Of the
movement, who when they learned her
name, threw cold water on her PROPOSE
tion. The etemperancs people Of Harris
burg are too sensible to allow a party
with such notorious reputation as the
"Widder" to lecture for them, and they
quickly informed her that her services
for the good of the cause were not need
ed. The cheeky female 1t is said made
several attempts to secure hall, but
was rebuffed in every instance by the
owners.
The fact is, the citizens Of Harris
burg are not in. the least admirers of
the Widder," and any encourage
ment she may receive will be from
those who desire to make fool of her,
if such a thing were possible. While
in Harrisburg she is recommended to
keep watch on her pocket-book, for
1t was here that her one-time husband
was robbed, and as it ia said by the
Pittsburg papers that the "Widow "
lectured in that city on Thursday even
ing to a paying audience of four per-
sons, she must have all the proceeds,
an immense sum about her.
The widow" roamed about town to-
day like COW in strange pasture.
She took in the sights of the Capitol
and desired to be shown the flag room,.
etc. Judging from the numerous doses
of cold shoulder that she has received
here, she will not carry away with her
pleasant memories of Harrisburg hospi-
tality. And that's what the matter
with the "widder.n
The gay and festive old girl might 90
up to Wetzel's swamp and lecture to
the "German Band" of tramps, or
might hire out as canal boat cook,
but she has mistaken the place when
she comes here to spout her shrewish
babble.

Deacon Jones Campaigning.

Jones, Greenback candidate for
Senator, spoke to very small audi.
ence here Thursday night. Gave a
regular old fashioned exhortation.
Appealed to our greatest weakness
love of money: then its great scarci.
ty among US. Who didn't have it
and who have got it. Sherman and
his pets were well supplied. zone
pet bank in New York has 100000
600 to raise for Republican election
eering fund" On being asked what
one he said, an. NJ. Pomeroy, La.
Crosse Democrat was his. authority. -
Gle has no doubt Sherman is raising
the balance in tho United States
Treasury for the same purpose: can't
see what else it ls there for" ssIt
cost the Republicans in the Maine
election 100000 TO get $4,000
Greenback voters" !" Why are in.
dnstrles langulshing and so many
peoplo in depressed circumstances"
Some one answered, SCOT In debt.
lie replied, "that man evidently is
very fortunately out of debt and con
sequently hard money man" Was
then asked s'lf all Greenbackers were
in debt and consequently were
Greenbackers? Paid his respects
TO government bonds and bondhold-
ers. "Bonded debt was not created
to pay for carrying on the war, it
was created after the war was over"
To-day we are paying 6 per cent.
interest on all but less than 5000, 000,.
600 bonded debt" Spread himself
heavy on one particular bondholder
of Bloomington "who has 100000,
bonds and who pays no tax to build
school houses or run schools and his
children have all the benefits thereof
the same as tax payers" Being
asked for name said SIS. Sargent,
might have had wife and children if
not too penurious and stingy." Gave
some attention to Republican legis-
lation-"made one law for the rich
and one for the poor.'' "During the
war, for example, 81 worth of sugar
and coffee you bought you paid in
to the United States Treasury rs cts.
for the former and 60 cents for the
latter" Heard the deacon two years
ago.; then thought him candid and
honest; this time, must say | was as.
tonished at his wild statements and
bold front. Concluded political bust
ness must be very demoralizing bust
ness, and that it Deacon Jones has
any regard for his soul he had better
drop the new and return to his
old Master. My impression after
hearing him through was that if S.
Sargent and other bondhoIders
would sell their bonds and loan the
Greenbackers liberal amount of
money SO they could pay off the debts
on their farms and have little left,
there would be good times once
more-but few greenbackers for a
while at least.
