STORMS IN GERM MANY.
Whole Villages Swept Away ny a
Fearful Cloudburst.

Great destruction of life and property by
cloudbursts and thunder storms is reported
from all quarters Of Germany. At Cob
lentz on the upper Rhine, whole districts are
fearcully devastated. At the fortress Of
Ehren Breitstein the lower parts Of the
town and OF the fortress were flooded.
The people were driven to the housetops
for safety and the garrison was called out
and dispatched to the assistance Of the in
habisants Of Pfaff endorf and Horchhein,
who were in great peril and distress. All
along the Rhine and Moselle the vineyards
have suffered severely and great fears are
entertained for the future vintage.
Near Widcheringan, on the Moselle, some
peasants going along the road in cart were
overwhelmed by cloudburst and swept
down the embarkment into the river. One
Of them were drowned, but the others saved
themselves by swimming. All the railroads
between Treves and Metz are impossible,
owing 10 the foods
A tremendous c.oudburst did great dam
age to the Soden Ne iicinal Springs, and the
villages of Hoizendors, Wernsdorf and Murk
have been totally destroyed. Houses, roads,
bridges walls, cattle and crops have been
swept away and the inhabitants OF those
districts are terror stricken and in despair.

A sensation was created yesterday
afternoon by n little girl between

with nobody with her, or nobody to

agent finding that nobody came for
her sent little girl down In town
with her to see II anybody knew her.
When she came to the barber shop OF
t. +. Hunt, Tommy became attached
to her at once and promised q good

be found out. IL wasn't long before
curiosity seekers began to flow around
the barber shop and continued so un'
til $50 when her young aunt, Ida Phil
lips, recognized her as Bertha, her sis
ter Jennie's child. She was put on the

against the one who put her on the

THE TROUBLE with William II. Lee is
not over vet. He contends, and with
a considerable show OF reason, that he
can hold on to his Office anyhow until
July I'd, when his present term expires.
The recent act Of the Legislature giving
the Board of Health the privilege of
electing its own secretary, designutes
the first Thursday of May as the time
when the Board shall elect, but the bill
did not become a law until the 14th Of
May. The language Of the act is:
'.fhe Board of Health shall, on the
first Thursday in May, A. D., 1891, and
e;ery year thereafter, elect secretary
The language seems to be mandatory
and the question arises. can the Board
elect a secretary after that date2 The
old law provides that the city council
shall elect inJuly
2. Mr.. Lee was elected by the City
Council TO serve until that time. The
question then will be- shall the City
Council or the Board OF Health elect t
Secretary to serve until May Z. 1892

PARsoNsBuRe, Nd, May 25th. Tho

good crop. Yesterday it was cool

and no doubt is better for the shippers,
as they carry better, and are not likely
to glut the market. On Saturday last
there were three and one half car loads
at Pittsville, and little more than q
car load at this place.

last week that leaves here at n little

Providence, going by way OF Easton,

berries go to Boston from here.
They usually bring good price, and
pay a little better than New York,
There were not quite MS many shipped
to-day as Saturday, owing to tho cool
weather yesterday. This would be O
good place for a canning factory. Are
there no enterprising men in your city

THE DEMOCRATS are very much con-
cerned about the coming State election
In Ohio. They have the State now,and
TO lose it the year preceding presi-
DENTAL election would be bad political
capital to commence the campaign
with. The way the matter now stands,
Mckinley will be the Republican can
didate for Governor beyond a doubt,
and Governor Campbell will be the
Democratic candidate for reelection.
They are afraid to take the risks with
out some side show arrangement.
hence the Democrats are trying to get
the Farmers Alliance to take the field
and nominate candidate who has
been Republican, thinking that by
this arrangement enough votes will be
attracted from the Republicans to let
the Democrats winagain. This would
osa very pretty arrangement but 1t
will hardly succeed. Appointment Ohio
Republican connected with the Admin,
istration is quoted as saying that the
Ohio Republicans who have Joined the
Alliance are fan too smart to vote ''in
the air" to help their old time oppo
nents, the Democrats. They are de.
terInined to nominate and elect Me
kinney Governor Of the State. and they
will not be stopped by any Democratic
trickery.

Our shad Decrease.

The decreasing supply OF shad In the
Delaware Is a subject that becomes of
general interest. The river this year
is not yielding its usual supply Of the
toothsome fish. and epicureans as well
as fishermen are concerned about it,
The daily catches of shad along the
river are said to be fully thirty-ilve per
cent. less than they were last year, and
this together with the greater demand
for shad has sent the prices up fully
twenty per cent over what they were
last year. A prominent fish dealer in
Philadelphia, who usually keeps cor
rect estimate Of the shad canght each
year, estimates this year that from the
duy the first seine was cast till the
season closes, June 10th, the average
daily catch will only be 10000 compar
ell 10 1000 last year. ..
In a shad fishing season Of ten weeks
coo. 900 shad. II is no wonder shad are
dear. Had they even been as plenti
fdl as last year it is quite lil1oly prices
would have ruled much higher on ac-
count of the greater demand for shad
In New York, where, by a patent pro
cess shad, can DO preserved the yeai
around and sold as fresh and lusciou,
any day in the year as the day on
which they were caught.
The cause for tho decrease in the
catth OF shad is generally attributed
toan increase of impurities in the
river, and as long as Philadelphia in
crease her population and manufac
tories, making the river a common
sewer, these impurities must increas
and eventually drive the shad out o
the river in search of fresh water.
