finished.
The growing grain looks remarkably well,
and grass is starting to grow slowly.

May Hail and Snow.

The hail storm which passed over the sec
ton around Petersburg, Va, on last Friday
afternoon, extended into North Carolina. All
growing cotton, corn and vegetables were de-
stroyed, and the farmers will be compelled to
plant again. Hail fell to the depth of twelve
inches and whirlwind prevailed along the
centre of the storm, blowing down barns,
fences and sheds. In some places in Surrey
county, Va, the hail fell to the depth of eigh-
teen inches, and in some spots was drifted to
the denth of four feet.

city, whose serious illness from an overdose
of morphia, taken on Thursday night of last
week, was noticed in the last issue of the
ADVOCATE, died about II o'clock last Satur-
day morning. DR.. Klink was native of
Philadelphia, where he was born May 9th,
1865. He graduated at Princeton College,
and took medical course at Hahnemann
Medical College in Philadelphia. He located
in Texas first, but returned home after short
time, and removed to this city during the last
illness of Dr. Woodward, about four years
ago. He was genial gentleman, of pleasant
manners and fine conversational powers
His sudden taking off is lamented by the
whole community, and especially by those
who knew him best. He leaves wife and
two children, one an infant His remains
were taken to Philadelphia on Tuesday, and
inferred in Laurel Hill Cemetery.

CORPORATION ELECTION.

The annual election for Mayor and FIVE
Councilmen took place on Monday last. There
was no contest, and less than one-fourth of
the vote of the town was polled. With the
exception of George NJ Pearce, who declined
to serve, the old council was reelected, and in
his place Chas. E. Fink, also an improvement
man, was chosen. Mayor Thomas also de-
clined reelection, and in his place Andrew
N. Stephan was elected. When there is no
special question to be determined, and no
contest over men it is not usual to poll over
60 to so votes, and the 122 votes cast last
Monday shows a renewed interest in the wei
fare of the city Below is the official vote
For Mayor-Andrew N. Stephen 122; for
ouncilmen-George R. Gehr 121, Thomas
R. Myer 100. George Stouch 118, Orlando

The Result of the Scale Convention at
Pittsburgh.
The scale convention Of the Amalgsma'
ted Association, which assembled in Pitts
buggh Saturday morning, was unable to ar
rive at any conclusion until an early hour
Yesterday morning. A committee OF con-
ference was appointed to meet a similar
committee from the manufacturers, and was
instructed to demand $3.50 per ton for boil
ing, and to allow a reduction from the present
scale of wages in some of the finishing de.
partments. If this cannot be obtained and
the committee is firmly convinced by the
manufacturers that the iron trade will moi
warrant that scale of wages, the committee
were instructed to accept a reduction OF III
per cent. all around. If this offer is reject
ed, a strike will be ordered by the Anal
gamated Association.
The nail and steel question also provoked
a lively discussion in the convention. The
reduction in the scale of wages OF workmen
in the finishing departments occupied CON
siderable time, but the questions were finally
settled satisfactorily to all.
An Associated Press telegram, received
late last night, said:
The National Scale Convention of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers adjourned at 6 o'clock this
morning, after a continuous secret session
of twenty hours. Nothing definite is
known regarding the action taken, as the
delegates refused to talk. 1t is generally
believed, however, that last years scale Of
So so per ton for pudding was reafirmed.

SPRING AT LAST.

A 10y Much Enjoyed by Our Citizens.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, and the
right sun and bslmy air caused almost the
entire population to turn out of doors and
enjoy the welcome change from the cold,
wet and generally dismal weather heretofore
vouchsated us by Old Probs. At the morn
ing services in the various churches, the
congregations were unusually large, and
during the afternoon the streets in the CEN
trail part Of the city were densely crowded
with promenaders. The ladies
were out almost en- massp,
and the display of spring bonnets and cos,
tunes, so long delayed by the wretchedly
bad weather, was gorgeous. The travel out
the pike wa very heavy, both BY the Elm
Grove road and via. the pike, quite a mum
Der Of riding parties, made up Of gentlemen
in search of exercise, going quito st. Glars
vile or to Roney's Point. At night the
churches were again well filled, aud up to
nine o'clock Market street ives crowded as
upon an evening in midsummer. 1t was q
beautiful day, and thoroughly enjoyed.

Having another quarrel with Col. Zane,
Ross left Fort Henry in the spring OF 1883
and established himself with his wife and one
child, born at Wheeling, upon what Is nov
Mipeo Bottom. There had been other tenn
porary settlers at this place, but no cabin
had ever been erected, and for the first two
wears Ross and his family lived in the hollow
trunk of an immense sycamore tree. one
limb OF which was followed out and used as
stt We pipe. During their residence In this
primitive shelter Absalom Ross, the hrst
white child born on the soil OF Eastern Ohio
was born. -.
II is said that Ross spent all his time
while not hunting Indians or game, in
ouarreling with the men at Fort Steuben or
st Wheeling. But for his efficient services
in protecting the frontier from d~epredstions
of The red men, he was 30 detested that he
would probably have been removed from the
settlement and possibly from the face of the
earth. He had a personal combat With
CAPTAIN Hamtranck, ~commandant at Fort
Steubep, Just before he started to aid Gen.
eral st. Clair in 1871, and gave him q ter.
rible beating. Summary yengence would
have been wresked on him had he not left
at once to join 81 Clair in exterminating
bis old enemies, the Shawnees and the
Wyandots. -.
Although almost seventy years old,
Joseph Ross was made captain Of q com.
pany Of rangers under Wayne in 1893, who
in the following year dealt a retributive and
staggering blow to the powerful horde oil
savages who had presumed to dictate terms
and throw down the gauntlet to the Amer.
can nation, and compelled them to sue for
peace on the congueror's W terms. We
have il from one who heard MIR. Wells
speak of him that after Ross had passed
| his seventy. fifth birthday he was as vigorous
as q man of fifty, and lowered above the
other pioneers in statue and physical
strength. On returning from q visit
to Mr.. Wells in 1906, during q storm, he
was killed by q falling tree. His body
vas not discovered for some days, and his
family searched the river, thinking that he
might have been drowned. His body
crushed and mutilated by the tree until il
could scarcely be recognized was found by q
hunter.
After his death his son Absalom re-
moved to Fishing Creek, where he died in
1867, in his eighty-fourth year.

Interesting Services.
The services at the Cathedral yesterday
morning, especially late mass, were Of q
very solemn, impressive and beautiful
nature. The attendance Of wo~rshippers
wss very large, the church, in tact, being
literally packed. Father Sullivan presided,
and was assisted by Fathers McGilligot aud
Egan. The musical service was very fine,
Lasche's Mass and o Sslutarus being rem.
dered in grand style by the choir. Mrs. NJ
L. Wbitaker's soprano solo numbers were
=, quis tely sung and her work On the organ
was simply perfection. Mr.. r. V. Arkle
sang a couple Of new solos in magnificent
style, his upper notes at times being sipgu,
