TORNADO IN SUSSEX COUNTY.

The severest storm In Many Years.
Buildings Unroofed and Trees up
rooted--A Young Mans Miraculous Es-
cape From Death.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette ana journal
GEORGETOWN, June 22.- Yesterday
afternoon one of the severest wind and
rain storms that has ever visited this
section for years ragged with great fury.
The path of the storm was not directly
over this town, but was to the west Of
here.
The roof was torn off the barn of
John Day, who lives about two miles
from here, and the wind damaged his
other buildings considerably.
While John Lambden, a son of Squire
S. A. Lambden, was driving his team to
Cokesberry Church to attend the Chill
dren's Day exercises, he was overtaken
by the tornado and tree was blown
upon his team, killing his horse, totally
demolishing his carriage and breaking
the young mans thigh.
At the church and along the road sew
eral carriages were blown over by the
wind. The public roads in some sec
tons were blocked by trees that had
blown down across them. AS yet no
further particulars of the storm can be
learned, but there is no doubt that the
roads and bridges are badly damaged
by the heavy rain
