Storms.

ATHENS, Ohio, July 3O.-The most
destructive storm in the history of the
Sunday creek valley occurred at Glous-
ter, mining town, u miles north of
here, last night, which resulted in the
almost total destruction of one of the
principal street of the town and do
ing damage in other places to the
amount of thousands of dollars. The
storm struck the town without warn
ing. The fury of the wind is indie
scribable. Buildings were toppled over,
trees torn up from their roots, and
the town this morning is scene of
desolation. One man was struck by
a section of a plank walk, which was
lifted up by the wind, and instantly
killed. Four others are reported
dead and several others seriously
injured.
A livery stable, with six horses and
number of vehicles, was blown into the
creek and swept away. Nearly every
building in town is damaged and many
are completely demolished. To add to
the horror Sunday creek is sweeping
everything before it. Several houses
have been washed away, and two peo-
pie are reported drowned. Later word
has reached here that the list of dead
will reach fifteen.

She Cursed in Church.

PATERSON, n. j., July 30.-Ann
Dougherty, an aged and homeless
woman, last evening created sensa-
ton in St. Johns Roman Catholic
Church by running about and curslng
loudly. She shrieked and howled, and
the few worshippers present left in fear
as they believed she was insane and
might do something desperate. When
Very Rev. Dean McNulty, the aged
pastor, was informed of the circum-
stances, he at once entered and invited
the woman to leave. She refused to do
so, and swore at him. Then he seized
her, and after hard fight succeeded in
ejecting her. Patrolman Tracy was
near and the woman was arrested.
When arraigned to-day she declared
that the clergyman had ill-treated her,
and that she wanted her rights even
from priest. She was manifestly in
toxicated, and the Recorder sent her to
jail for thirty days.
A nunnery on Church street also had
an unusual visitor Tuesday night. A
man was discovered in the cellar by
one of the sisters. He was busily en-
gagged in sharpening razor. The nuns
were badly frightened, and called in q
patrolman. Recorder Senior to-day
sent the fellow to Jail for month, as
he could give no account of himself.
