Greater Destruction From the Storm
Than First Reported.


Than First Reported.
Amber, Pa, May 3O.-Thc destruction
wrought by the cyclone is greater
than was at first supposed. A tour made

sevcnty-fivc barns. houses and other build
ings are either partly or completely de
stroyed The loss will amount to over
500 900. Alexander Knight says the loss
TO his property Will be more than $25 900.
Coroner KutZ today gave permission To
bury the bodies of Albert Moffatt and Win
field Emslie, who were killed at Jarrettown.

RETAINED HIS OLD CLOTHES

Upon arrayiug himself in his ne W clothes
1t was suggested that Houghton should
throw away his old and ragged suit, but
he insisted on taking it To Chicago with him,
saying that it would come in handy to wear
every day.
While at Norfolk Houghton was thrown
against an electric wire, which SO severely
burned one of his fingers that amputation
was rendered necessary. and as a conse-
quence he suffered much pain as a result
OF the surgical operation which was per-
formed at hospital.
1t is safe TO predict that Mr.. WILDER never
made an investment of 500 that gave him
more pleasure and satisfaction as an act
of kindness and charity than the expendi-
ture of this sum upon Joseph HouGhton as he
was struggling against odds to regain his
mother and home.

Joseph Houghton "a lad OF thirteen, ragged,
gaunt and weary, with his arm in sling,
came into Wizards Hotel and asked for
something toeat. To u group of gentlemen,
among whom was Mr.. wilber, he told his
story.
WANTED TO HELP HIS MOTHER.
The youth said his home was with
widow cd mother in Chicago. He was anx-
ious to do something that might contrib
ute to her support, ana at the solicitation
of an uncle living in Florida went there
for the supposed purpose of engaging in
his service. Upon arrival he found that
everything had been misrepresented to
him by the relative, and the boy was COM
ioi
strangers, his wages being appropriated
by the uncle for his own use.
After standing mistreatment until it
became no longer endurable, young Hough-
ton determined to work his way home. His
straightforward story and intelligent face
succeeded in winning the kind offices of
various freight crews and yard men along
the railroad lines, and by means of letters,
notes and verbal messages he was trans
ferred from place to place, until after a
mouth of laborious travel he reached this
city.
In every place where he made even a
temporary stop Houghton was arrested as
vagrant, with the exception of Washing
ton, and at Norfolk he twice experienced
that unpleasant predicameDt. In each in
stance he was released without punish
ment. He exhibited letters which con-
vinced all his hearers that he was telling
the truth.
Mr.. Wilber, after satisfying himself that
the boy was not an impostor, directed that
Houghton's name he placed upon the hotel
register. Subsequently he purchased the
boy complete new outfit of wearing ap-
parel, including both outer and under gar
ments, caused him to eat and rest until he
felt entirely refreshened, then purchased
him first-class ticket to Chicago, and at
parting presented him with a five dollar
bill
