townsman, Allen Guthrie, was an estima-

poignant grief in the circle of her family
and friends. The infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. b. Lintner Hess has fallen victi m to
the scourge of the nursery, and his sudden
taking off will make an aching void in
the hearts and home desolated by his
death.
Ex-Cty Treasurer Welchans.
A very generally accredited rumor was
spread over the town this morning of the

urer and well-known tobacconist. 1t was
ascertained to be not true, though all day

A DANGEROUS Bridge.

This morning it was noticed that the
bridge on the Quarryville railroad span:
ming the Conestoga creek, just south of
this city, had sunk several inches in the
middle, and as it was considered danger
Gus by the passengers who came up this
morning, they walked across it. Work
men arc working at it today and maybe
some rotten timbers will have to be re-
placed.

BIG WIND.
Tho storm OF Last Saturd,

The intense heat of Saturday midday
was followed by terrific storm of wind
in this city about 4 p. m, and the atmo-
sphere was so suddenly chilled that great
fears were felt of fall Of hail somewhere
i'm tho county. None such has been re-
ported though the wind seems to have
been strong all around, but little rain
fell.
The storm of Saturday did considerable
damage in the lower section of the county,
reaching in its scope from the Maryland
line way up north of Willow Street. 1t
was attended by winds, and in some SEQ
tions slight hail fell. This was the case
along the river about York Furnace aud
McCalrs Ferry. There is 10 doubt some
injury done to the tobacco, the extent of
which we have been unable to learn. In
Drumore. Fulton and Little Britain
the damage consisted in the upro0ting of
trees, the demolition of fences, the strip
ping of fruit trees and injury to growing
corn. On the farm of Mr.. John F. Stein
man, in Drumore township, fine large
pear tree of choice variety was relieved
of its fruit other trees Oh the same place
were slightly injured. Between Liberty
Square and the Buck number of trees
were laid low, a large locust at A: NJ.
Cox's place, fallihsa sacross the road. Near
this place and just back of Squire Moore's
farm, q hundred feet of &" worm fence was
blown over; along through this section the
ravages of the storm can be marked. Neal
New Providence a small unoccupied old
dwelling house was moved, and at West
Willow tobacco barn, some 80 or 80 feet
in len,th and so feet in width, was blown
down. The franc of the barn had only
been erected the day before.
The storm was severe in and around
Strasblrg. Jos. Foulk's tobacco shed wa:
blown down. and a large cherry tree
They both fell into N. w. Waidley's to
bacco patch, injming portion of the crop

STEVE SKEEN.

A Promising Investigation.
Washington dispatch to Philadelphia Times.
The most astounding state of affairs is
said to be in process of development in the
investigation consequent on tho Skeen
scandal in tho treasury department.
Skeen has been suspended pending the in
vestigation, which involves several other
and higher officials in the treasury. These
officials are, as has been stated in these
dispatches, apparently very anxious
to acquit Skeen of any irregu.
larities with regard to women in
tho department.. The reason given for
this is said to be of a personal nature. 1t
appears that Skeen has a private room in
the basement of the treasury, and it is
charged by those who profess to know and
who certainly have the means or knowing,
that this room has been for a long time
habitually used as a criminal rendezvous
during business hours by members of the
treasury ring heretofore alluded to. 1t is
alleged that Skeen would leave tho key
with these officials at convenient times
and keep out of the way. The room is the
one used during tho Pitney investigation.
Tho full extent of the charges in this con-
nection are too outrageous for publication
and transcend reasonable belief.
