FROM Eastern Ohio, West Virginia and
along Western New York, comes the in
telligence that a cyclone has made sad
havoc with several towns, partially de-
strOying them. Hail which weighed
over four ounces did much damage to
property. The wind unro0fed houses
and demolished out houses, lifting
them up bodily and smashing them to
atoms. 1t is by far the severest storm
that has yet visited the upper Ohio

The Police by Accident Get the Sinch OF
the Trunk Thief.
Yesterday evening before closing up, on
going into the rear portion OF his store, on
the corner OF Park and Academy streets,
Mr.. Strassburger noticed carpet very care
fully rolled up and showed through the
window at that end OF the house opening
on the yard. He inquired OF the clerks how
it had occurred and could get no explana-
ian - No nne had seen any other one Mace
it there. ne then called the attention OF
the police to the anomaly and was advised
to leave the carpet where it was and await
developments. Officer Carroll was told to
keep an eye on the carpet from an unseen
quarter and when any one came to remove
it 20 allow the person to get well under
way with it before h%estopped him. Shortly
after the officers vigil was brought to q
close when he saw a man enter the
yard, go up to the window where the
C Tpet was. put it under his arm and pro.
coed to make off with it. The officer called
upon his man to halt after he had gone a |
steps and at the some time blew his
police whistle, covering him with his gun.
. GROVE rushed up and saw the men in this |
position and a ridiculous story was circu- |
la~tedthata man hadIbeen heldjup at the same
and place. When assistance arrived |
the man was taken up to the county Jail |
he was recognized as the young man
who had been arrested by ex. Officer Hooper
q few days ago for the trunk robbery and
who had been acquitted for lack OF identi.
i~cation. The police know they have the
dead sinch'' on the gentleman this time
md will railroad him with certainty for
