DEATH TO SEVENTEEN.
Awful Havoc Wrought by the storn
In Pennsylvauia.


In Pennsylvania.
One Of the most terrible results Of the
Pennsylvania storm Monday night was
the drowning Of a number Of coal miners
In the Painters Run district, just over
the Washington County line. The board
Ing house which they occupied was blown
down and swept away, and Of the sixteen
miners sleeping in II fifteen are believed
to have been drowned. They were all
foreigners, mostly Italians, and were en-
ployed In the mines Of Col. w. p. Rend
and the Ridgeway- Bishop Coal Company.
The boarding house was little mining

eight-mile branch of the Panhandle road,
which leaves the Charters division at

between the two points The fatality oc-
CURED at A o'clock in the morning, when
the small stream, Painters Run, which
empties into CHARTERS creek, was sudden
ly swollen into raging torrent by a cloud
burst The stream had been very high
on account Of the rain, but little damage
had been done before the rush Of water
which carried away the tenement house.
A great deal of mining and oil property
was damaged in the district along the
run. The water rose some places to Il
depth Of eighteen feet. The loss in the
district will amount to thousands of dol
lars. Many narrow escapes are reported
from the valley through which Painters
Run courses, and it is not unlikely that
some others have perished. Several
houses in the valley were swept away.
The full extent Of the damage wrought
by the hurricane in Pittsburg and vicin-
ity Monday night was not known until
daylight, when wreck and ruin were ap-
parent on all sides. Steeples were blown
from churches and adjoining buildings
crushed, houses were unroofed, trees
broken off and in some cases torn up by
the roots, while the havoc caused by the
heavy rainfall Of last week was repeated.
Summed up, with many outlying districts
to hear from, the result in Pittsburg was
two lives lost, thirty-six persons injured,
many, it is feared, fatally, and property
damaged to the amount of 100000.

Sad Devastation Is Caused-Houses

Wrecked and Crops Ruined.
Tuesday afternoon the entire south part
Of Wells County, Indiana, was swept by
a heavy hailstorm. Wednesday afternoon
at the same hour a cyclone swooped down
on territory only few miles north, clear
ing everything before il. Orchards were
destroyed and barn belonging to Robert
Gavin. one Of the largest in the county,
was blown down. burying cattle and
horses in the debris. At Liberty Center,
a number of residences were blown down
and the Methodist Church was unroofed.
A house at Petroleum was blown to
pieces. The Glover Leaf hallway be-
tween Bluffton and Liberty Center was
covered with fallen trees. In the vicinity
of Warsaw the loss of crops is dreadful
and little will be saved Corn, potatoes
and unthrashed wheat and oats are ruin
ed. Near Wabash the hailstones were Of
extraordinary size and badly punished
stock exposed to the storm. The corn in
many places was whipped to ribbons.
There is yet great deal Of wheat in the
shock, and all of 1t is molding or sprout-
ing and practically worthless ut Craw-
fordsville. The downpour was accom-
panied by terrific lightning and thunder,
barns, trees and houses were struck with
out number, and many animals killed. A
washout on the Vandalia threw an engine
and FIVE men into Walnut FORK creek.
Two of the five were instantly killed and
others injured.

Queen Victoria first saw the light in
Kensington palace May "a, 1919, and as
cended the throne June 20, 1887. She is
the only child of Edward, Duke Of Kent,
fourth son Of George Ill, and of the
Princess Louisa Victoria of Saxe-Coburg.
Abraham Lincoln was then a 10-year-old
boy, Gladstone ran about in pantalettes
with frills to them and probably trundled
a hoop, while Lord Salisbury had not as
yet come into existence. The Duke Of
Wellington was fresh from his triumphs
at Waterloo, and Daniel Webster was in
the zenith Of his fame.
Feb. 10, 1910, Victoria married her
cousin, Prince Albert Of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, with whom she had long been
deeply in love. 1t proved, as every one
knows, most happy union. During
their twenty-one years Of married life
they were blessed with nine children-four
sons and FIVE daughters. George III. Is
the only English sovereign who has occu-
pied the throne for longer period than
Queen Victoria. During the ffty-nine
years Of Queen Victoria's rule the popu-
lation Of the mother country has increas-
ed from something under twenty-six mil
lions to close on forty-fve millions, and
that of the colonies has steadily grown
from four millions to seventeen millions.
