From Riches to Poverty.

LOUISVILLE, June 16.-William w.
Wilmot, "a years old and worn and
broken with long tramp on foot most
of the way from New Orleans, applied
to the Charity Organization Society
this morning for relief. He told re-
markable story, which is fully backed
up by letters and references of un-
doubted genuineness. He said he was
born in New Orleans, but left home at
an early age and spent many years wan
dering through Europe. He finally
came home and settled down and mar
ried in Pittsburg.
When Tilden was the Democratic
nominee for the presidency Wilmot
bet $4,000 on his election. The bet
was drawn and the money returned.
Soon after his wife died aud left him
alone. The $4,000 was soon squan.
dered aud Wilmot became poor man.
Previous to his serious losses he had
invented machine for crimping boots,
and out of this had made a handsome
fortune. To prove his assertion he

A Woman's Shrewdness.

Who was it said that no woman ever
invented anything? 1t was untrue.
anyhow. A woman can be ingenious
when it seems to her worth while. A
curious device for increasing the bust
ness of bar-room has lately been put
in practice in number of saloons. A
bright silver dollar is glued fast to the
floor in front of the bar. A man comes
in to order drink, discovers the coin,
desires to pick 1t up and pocket it
without being seen, and to that end
gives the bartender bill in payment
for his beverage, so that he may have
have time, when that person turns his
back, to pick up the dollar from the
floor. But the bar tender manages to
shorten the opportunity SO much that
the man cannot stoop quickly enough
to touch he prize. So he orders an
other drink and tries again. Perhaps
he spends three or four times as much
as he intended to before he is able to
touch the dollar, and to find ont that
he cannot detach it from the board.
Then he sneaks out quietly or laughs
over the trick, and in either case the
extra patronage has been gained for
the saloon, while the dollar remains
safe for further service. But what
was it that a Bowery woman did when
her husband told her of the trick She
provided herself with sharp-edged
tack -puller and made round of all the
groggeries in her neighborhood where
tina dollar dodge was Icing worked.
She bought one glass of beer in each
place, neatly pried up the coin while
the barekeeper was making change for
ker, and went on to repeat the opera
ton a dozen times. Clara Bell s

A CLOUD BURSTS, MOVING AND FLOODING
HOUSES AND WASHING BRIDGES
AWAY.


TITusyILLE, June ia terrible
storm of wind and rain struck this city
earty this morning doing enormous
damage in the Southern part of the
city. Two runs are overfowed, and
many splendid gardens are completely
dug out and ruined. In many places
the water rose to three feet in the low
er rooms of houses. The inhabitants
were forced to seek safety in the up
per floors.
Both the high and low pressure
natural gas mains are broken where
they cross the runs, and the consumers
have no fuel. The re6neries are forced
to shut down Tor the same cause. The
storm came up at moments notice.
A cloud burst on the hill at the runs
source. Buildings standing over or
near the runs were moved down stream
and smashed. All the bridges are
swept away.
STONES OF GREAT SIZE FELL.
WILKES BARRE, June 16.-A tremen-
dous hail storm took place between
Glen Summit and White Haven this
afternoon. Stones of great size fell in
large quantities, covering the ground
TO depth of several inches. Not be-
ing an agricultural country few crops
were injured, but the forest trees were
stripped of their leaves and branches
for miles and they present the appear
