A TERRIFIC STORM.

The storm of last Friday evening
was the most severe that has visited
this town for many years. There was
not building in the town but that
trembled with the force of the wind.
The driven rain added to the force of
the wind. increased the terrors of the
night and made the stoutest hearts
quail at being upon the streets. The
places to suffer the most we're the
Magee store building, at corner of
Fourth and Market streets the arti.
fetal stone finish on two sides Of the
third floor was nearly all blown off.
A brick building on West street, being
built by Kesty * Trevilpiece, for Jos.
Rattl, that was about completed, ready
for the last timbers was almost wholly
demolished; the roof on Meyer Bros.
oil house near the depo. was blown
off, part of the roof of Mears Manu-
featuring Company was carried away,
while trees and branches were strewn
along almost every street in the town

A Quiet Wedding.

Mr.. Frederick f. Drinker and Miss
Eleanor B. Shultz were married in St.
Paurs church, Bloomsbury, on Thurs,
day evening, Iath inst, at 7;4s o'clock
by the Rector, Rev. w. c. Leverett.
No invitations had been issued ex-
cept to the members of the families,
aid a few intln ate friends, and Sc
there were only about dozen persons
in the church. At the appointed hour,
the bridal couple unattended, entered
from the Parish House, and walked
up to the chancel rail where the cere
mony was performed. There was nc
wedding march, as they did not de.
sire it. The whole affair was kept
very quiet; but some Of the young
girls got hold of it, and as the newly
married couple emerged from the Par
ish House door to enter the carriage
in waiting, they were met by large
crowd of girls, who pelted them Justify
with rice. They took the S:IS train
for Chambersburg, where Mr.. Drinkel
has situation.

A False Alarm.

Last Friday night at midnight, in
the midst of an awful storm the citi-
zens were awakened by loud and
continuous whistle. In moment the
whistle was blown again, and a short
time after the fire alarm sounded. In
the midst Of the raging storm a ready
response was given. Members Of the
Friendship Fire Company were the
first to the rescue and recognizing the
whistle to be that of the Electric
Light plant, hastily ran there with the
hose carriage. When they arrived
there, some of the workmen cody
informed them that they were whist
ling for the Superintendent, and con-
sidered it good joke that the citi-
zens thought there was fire, and rush
ed down in such storm. Those who
started for the fire had lanterns, as the
electric lights were out, and the night
exceedingly dark. Over one hundred
people started out in the storm, and
when they were informed that the
whistle was blown to call up the Su-
perintendent they were mad all over,
and they had right to be mad. An
arrangement of signals has been made
which will avoid the recurrence of
this.

Last Friday night there were S,

Last Friday night there were SO
many boys on the stairway and in the
vestibulc at the Opera House, that
people who attended the Little Ty-
coon were obliged to go up stairs
single file. AT the head of the stairs
stood the Chief of Police, complacent
ly looking on, but not seeming to
know that there was any thing for
him to do. People who patronize the
Opera House have been SO lorg i'm
posed upon by having to submit to
growing through a gang of boys to
get IN the house, and to all kinds of
disorder after they get in, that for.
bearance has ceased to be a virtue.
The town compe's the manager to
pay license fee of two dollars for
every entertainment given in the
Opera House, and is supposed to pro-
vide police protection in the hall.
Usually the police seem to think that
their duty is performed when they see
the show for nothing, for they do not
maintain order. The stairway and
vestibule should be kept clear, and if
the noisy and uncouth gangs continue
to make themselves obnoxious, an ex-
ample ought to be made of some of
them. 1t is the duty of the
policeman stationed there to see that
this is done, and if the town authori-
ties do not supply competent officer,
the manager ought to employ a special
officer who will protect his patrons.
The business of the Opera House is
injured because of the disorderly con-
duct in the gallery as well as at the
entrance, and it is high time that some
decisive steps are taken to put an end
to it.

The large pole supporting the wire

The large pole supporting the wire
on this side the river at the Bloom
Ferry, broke and fell Saturday after
noon at half-past three o'clock,
Francis La Fountaine was in the mid
die of the river with the ferry boat,
upon which was a team. The acci-
dent did not alarm him any, he sim
ply loosed the ropes and polled the
Hat across with the team. The wire
was held in tack by the windlass, but
dropped into the water. A new pole
will be secured at once and the wire
placed in position.

Extracts from a FIorida a Letter.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 13.-This (0r-
lando) Is a desirable point for those wish.
ing TO escape the cold Of northern winters.
The distance from guilt and ocean is not
so great but breezes from east or west
reach it nearly every day. These breezes
are bracing, yet the distance from the sea
is sufficient to take the raw edge of the
winds.
The elevation is 100 feet above the sea,
and the undulating surface affords perfect
natural drainage.
There are thirteen small, but deep and
clear lakes within Orlando corporate
limits Of two miles square. They are led
by springs. These waters are pure and
transparent, and their bottoms and mar
gins are sandy and clean. From one Of
these the water works supply the town
with water, which, by analysis, IS proven
to be almost pure. The lake water is
soft as rain. For bathing it is perfect.
10 Orange county Of which Orlando Is
the county seat, there are more than
thousand Of these lakes. The largest is
fifteen miles long and ten miles wide,
From this they range down 10 little basins
OF water covering no more lhnn m acre.
This makes 1t possible for many 70 secure
lake fronts for their homes.
A drive about Orlando takes The visitor
over winding roads, along the margins Of
lakes, the sloping approaches which are
covered with orange groves.
There is a seductive beauty about this
which soothes the weary mind, invlgorates
the enleebled body aud finally tempts the
visitor to swear allegiance To Florida
People come here from every state
Ia the union, as well as from the old
world. At recent social gathering II
was found upon inquiry that twentycight
stJaes we're represented. -

Ohio Farmers.

II is more than probable now that the
Ohio Farmers Insurance company will re-
sumo business in short lime. As all are
aware, the company was originally charter
ed as a mutual, but for the last twenty-five
years 1t has been doing business on the
stock plan.
State Superintendent Of Insurance Kin
der, In recent communication to the at
torney general, asks the following;
1. Can the Ohio Farmers Insurance
company proceed to transact business up
on the cash payment mutual plan, as pro-
vided in the charter of the company?
2. Can said company issue the stock
form Of policy, or is 1t required 10 embody
the word mutual" in the policies by 1t as
required by section 1868 Of the Revised
Statutes.
In his reply the attorney general re-
views the organization OF this company,
and cites the laws under which it and 9th.
er similar companies are allowed to issue
policies on the premium note and cash
premium plans, and sums up his deductions
by answering that the company may issue
mutual policies on the cash premium plan
as provided In its charter. While for lack
Of assets it has lost the right under section
1858 10 issue policies on the stock plan, 1t
retained Its original charter power to issue
such policies. As to the second question
the attorney general gives it as his opinion
as the word mutual" forms no part Of the
title Of the company, it could not be com
PEELED to insert 1t in Its policies, and to
compel the company to change the name
under which it may have been doing bus
iness so many years would be harsh ex-
action. Consequently he does NOT recon
mend a rejection of the form of policy sub
mitted by the constitution.

In our two months stay in the

we struck the lowest rate of freight
