Changing the Shenango.
Pittsburg Post

Pittsburg Post.
The work Of changing the grades and
reducing the curves on the PltttsbuTg
Shenango & Lake Erie, north OF Butler
is one of great magnitude and expense
and already a large army of mfn are en-
ployed at different points between Mercer
Junction and Swanville. At Shensngo q
very expensive excavation 5000 feet lone
and more han 80 feet wide Is being made
and this is now about half completed. Il
is the intention TO turn the Shensugt
river from its present channel into thi'
artificial channel and use the old bed o.
the river for roadbed At this point the
railroad winds along the face OF q steel
high embankment with numerous sharf
curves, and Ey using the river bed the
tracks can be Strengthened and moved
away from the threatening hllls'de when
has always been source G Danger and
expense. An immense stesm shovel ha;
been at work since April cutting the
trenches through the fields and work
train and over hundred men have been
kept busy hauling away the debris.
At other place many thousands OF dol
lars are being spent reducing the gfaIes
and widening the roadbed for sidings and
second trach. An this work is being done
to prepare the road to handle the immense
,rpffic that will be turned over to it when
the Butler & PIttsburg r" lrOad is CON
pleted. Work on the last named road has
been commenced all along the line be
tween Butler and ths Allegheny -iver,
and scores of ItsI ian labOrers are housed
in old buildings or live in tents. Hundreds
of carts and horses and many steam
shovels are being distributed slong the
line, and all indications point to any
eLrly completion of the road.

The Storm.

The sto.m Of Monday afteIloon upset
| hundreds of derricks in this county, and
a .tteusd the oats and corn in hundreds ol
| fields.
In Allegheny several buildings were 1e'
molished. one man was crushed to death
and several iujrred, and several were
shocked by lightning.
At Ross Grove, along the West fenn,
some campers took refuge IN the'r COM
missary tent or house under large syc-
amore, and large branch of the tree fell
upon it killing one man and injur'ng sew
eral others. The campers say the storm
approached them in the shape of cyclone
At Mars in this county large hail stones
fell with the deluge of rain, and at one
place the tracks of the P. d ". were
flooded.
At Beaver Falls a strange incident was
noted: Lightning struck a large oak tree
about 80 feet from the residence of K V.
Wilson and split it in two from top to
bottom A large iron ri1g fastened IN the
tree was torn loose and hurled like ride
ball through the window of Mr.. Wilson's
residence missing that gentleman by a
hairs breadth and bu-ying itself in the
wall opposite.
The storm seems to have originated in
the fa- west, as portions of Dakots, Iowa,
and Nebraska were storm swept the night
before and to have extended 10 the At
lantic coast as, New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltmor were al storm swept
In Washington Co. the storm was es-
peciaily severe, and immense damage was
done at several points. Bridges were
swept away aud the crops 'eyeled.
Near Cec;', Mining and oil village
seven persons were drow ned, and another
at Morgsnza in CHARTERS creek. The
sever persons were in house on Ailler's
Run, a small stream. between the hills
The Iun suddenly rose and engIlfed the
house, and carried it down stream to d
bridge where it was smashed TO pieces and
I of the l3 people IN it drowled. This
occurred Monday night.
