DAMAGE AT CORY.
Torrents of Water Running Through,
the Principal streets

TIC ITlnc1pai streets.
CORY, Pa, June 6.-The most destruct-
I've rainstornl that has ever visited this To-
caiity began yesterday afternoon. It was a
heavy cloudburst, and by evening the east
ern and business portion of the town was
under water, the rain still falling in per ect
torrents. Streets and railroad yaras were
like roaring river, the water being from
one to three feet deep and emptying into
the flats in the eastern portion of the city.
There many people were being rescued
from their homes in the best way possible.
There was no loss Of life and few injured.
Ihe southern side of the town presents
sad appearance, but the eastern portion is
still worse. The loss on stock to ner-
chants Is heavy. The loss throughout the
city will reach $50, 600. The storm was
general throughout this locality and in the
country districts the loss can hardly be esti-
mated. The roads are impossible and every
thing in the path of the food was
swept away. But two ofthe five passenger
trains reached the city last evening, and
they are still here with prospects Of their
staylng until morning. Bridges and cul-
Verts on all roads centerlns here have been
carried away. The great stone culyert al
the west end of the city was carried away
ana Will be heavy loss to the Erie COM
pany. 1t is thought that by morning pas
senger service will again be resumed. The
storm lasted nine hours and was the most
destructive ever known here

HE LOOKED CRAZY.
Popularity Of the Goat Got the
Station Master in Trouble.

A Popularity Of the Goat Got the
Station Masterin Trouble.
A goat has often put man at a
disadvantage, but seldom so effectu-
ally asln case recently reported by
the foreign correspondent OF New
York newspaper. "
,Station-master Narchand, at the
little village OF GodarvilIe, in Belgium,
has goat which has the popularity OF
allowing only Madame Marchand to
milk her. a....
A short time ago Madame Marchand
went to market before breakfast. The
statlon-master was in haste to begin
his daily duties, and there was moth
Ing IN the house to eat. He approach
ed the goat with a pail on his arm,
and the goat, as usual began to kick
and buck. In despair, he decided to
masquerade as his wife, and humbug
the goat into being MIXED.
He put on his wife's skirts, waist and
bonnet, and returned to the shed.
The goat was docile, and he began
milking her. His preparations, how
ever, had consumed more time than
he realized, and before the pail was
half-full he was astonished to hear
the whistle Of the first morning ex-
press, which it was his most import
ant duty to meet.
He dropped the pail, ran to the
house, exchanged his wife's bonnet for
his red and blue cap of office, and with
flying skirts hurried to the station
platform. The sight of an individual
with tull beard in flowing skirts and
a station-master's cap dazed every
body on the train, and gave the por-I
ters at the station the idea that Mar
chand had gone crazy. A policeman
was summoned, and the station-mas-
ter was marched off to jail.
- 10 the railroad authorities, who be-
gan an investigation of his conduct,
Marchand explained the responsibility
or the obstreperous goat for his I'M
precedented performance. He was
punished by temporary removal from
office. -.

THE EARTH SEEMED TO SHAKE

with an awful tremor., The engineer and
fireman were seen jumping from the cab,
and it is supposed at this writing they were
burned to death or killed by the force Of
the explosion. In an instant the flames
swept madly over the entire upper part Of
the city, which is flooded by the oily waters
of the creek. Men, women and children
who were moving from their houses were
caught by the deadly flames, and
if not burned to death outright
were drowned in the raging flood. At this
writing seven CHASTITY bodies have been
taken from the food and are lying on the
track unrecognized. At this end Of the
city was an iron and wooden bridge which
went down five minutes alter the fire start
ed, the huge iron structure being broken
and swept away like so much kindling
wood. From this bridge southwark for
quarter OF a mile the entire town is de-
'stroyed and the fire is still raging.
The fire department is making heroic
efforts to stop the flames and risking their
lives every instant, as it is not known at
what time many of the INN ense oil tanks
above here will burst and send their burn
ing contents down up on them. Nine larg
tanks Of the Imperial Refining company are
visible from here and all are burning, and it
is greatly feared that the burning oil will
again come down the creek, and if it
should little Of the business portion of the
city will remain standing. Paul e Sons
furniture house, !our-story, immense
building, was swept away with $4,000
worth OF stock, furniture, etc Renbold's
hotel and livery stable were DESTROYED in
few minutes and Mr. Reinbold and two
others who have not been identified
WERE BURNED TO DEATH
Those three bodies have been recovered
and it is not known how many more are lost

has been destroyed, and the fire is still do

deavoring to get them all together in
a place Of safety. 1t is almost
impossible to find words to describe this
awful calamity, and at this time no one
has any idea OF the number of lives that
have been lost. For miles up the creek on
both sides everything is in ruins, and hun
dreds of families have been rendered home
less. The fire came so suddenly and unex-
pectedly that very little if any property
has been saved along chs stream, and the
sky tor miles around is still black with
the smoke from burning dwelling houses

telling Of the wonderful things he had
seen in this and adjoining states while
with the party, says the San Fran
cisco Call
"When we were on the way out"
said he, eve made up our minds to
watch the Californians, for we were
led to believe from the big stories we
had heard that they were given to
stretching the long bow, but to their
credit be it said that everything we
heard was verified. even to the taking
OF 10000 feet OF lumber from a
single tree. But they told us a story
which they were unable to verify;
still we believe in the view of the
correctness Of everything else that
they told us.
1T was this: One winter according
to the raconteur. there was such an
unusual run of salmon in the Sacra-
mento river that in forcing their way
up stream they ran against and
broke several piles that supported a
railroad bridge and it sagged in the
center, making it unsafe for train to
pass over it. It was near train time,
and the salmon, noticing the damage
they had done, got together, piled one
on top OF the other, raised the bridge
to it's proper level, and held it up TN
