.SPOEFORD EXPLAINS.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Librarian Spot
ford, in view of various conflicting state
ments regarding the sum of $50, 4Uv paid
by him into the treasury last week, was
asked today what the amount really rep
resented. He replied that it was approx
mately the amount due the treasury on
balance of copyright and salary accounts
as he found it. An unfayorable and
wholly wrong construction, he said, had
been placed upon it as representing a
large deficit, whereas it was actually
balance between two accounts, a salary
account due to the librarian for several
months disbursements and an account due
the government for several months copy.
right fees. These accounts had remained
unsettled, although constant payments
had been made by him to the number OF
10 or II during 1894 and 1895, Of copy
right receipts amounting ito over 1000,
besides the 500, 400 now deposited. He
emphatically denies that any allegation
was made of amy wrongful withholding
of money due to the government. On the
contrary, the whole matter amounted to
a balancing of delayed accounts, which
delays, constantly growing, had too long
been postponed. All copyright receipts
had been entered daily with dates, sources
and amounts, whether small or Large,
duly noted, and he (Spofford) held himself
responsible for the same.

RAIN AND HAIL

Abundant Rains Revive Parched Fields
While Hail Destroys Many Growing
Crops
The long wished for rain made it,
appearance last Friday. All parts of
the county received a thorough wet
ting. The rain in many places came
in torrents causing wash-outS and
floods. With the rain there was hail.
In the vicinity OF Lancaster one OF
the heaviest and most destructive hail
storms ever known occurred. Start
ing some six or eight miles north of
Lancaster it moved a swath toward
the city aboat one and one half miles
in width. Passing.east OF town it
widened to three or four miles. 1t
proceeded southwark through Ellen
boro doing considerable damage in
places but lacking the fury it had
farther north.
The violence and magnitude of the
storm can hardly be appreciated by
persons who did not witness it. Corn
fields one mile northeast of Lancas-
ter are entirely destroyed. there be-
ing nothing left but short stubs of
stalks entirely stripped of leaves.
Oats that had not been harvested are
ruined. Shade and fruit trees are
bare. Great floods accompanied the
hail washing out bridges and fences.
Numerous cases of loss of poultry and
hogs are reported.
The following is a partial list of
people who suffered severly. To
enumerate ali who received damage
would be impossible. Many of these
mentioned have lost their entire
OF corn and some. both oats and corn.
The damage measured in dollars
would reach tens of thousands.
