with reference to the visit of Joseph

sensation. 1t is said Mr.. Chamberlain

Chamberlain mother-in-law. guarding
the premises night and day and accom-
panying Mr.. chamberlain wherever he
went.
It was said that this was the result

Lancaster, Pa, Oct. Late last
evening Geographic and telephone
communication had been established
with the surrounding counties and the
later reports confirmed the earlier a.d-
vices of the wide extent of the storm.
While an estimate Of the total loss is
necessarily speculative, there does not
seem to be any doubt that it will cas-
lily reach a million dollars and may
largely exceed that amount.
The wind roared through the streets
with noise like thunder and houses
literally rocked upon their foundations.

bridge was comprised of 27 spans, was

The bridge proper was crushed to
splinters. It was lifted bodily off the
piers and deposited just above in the
water a portion resting on the piers.
Not a timber was left standing.
