A ..Large', East-End Pnrk Meeting.

"A A"rSe EAst-Enu Park Meeting.
"A meeting to discuss the subjects for
parks in the extreme eastern part of the
city was called to be held at 1902 East
Washington street last night. A dozen or
more people gathered in the hall, but no
one seemed to have charge and after wait
ing some time they all left Several stood
around on the sidewalk for a half hour
longer. among them representatives of the
Journal and News. A little before o'clock
everybody left. Later the Journal received
telephone message saying that meeting
had been held at which quite a large
crowd was present According to the mes
sage DR.. M. j. Spencer presided and Ed
ward Heitken was chosen secretary. a res
olution favoring the purchase of ten acres
OF ground lying south of Washington
owned by Andrew Stefin and William
Christian. 1t Is held at about $1,000 an
acre. Mr.. Steffin appeared before the
Board of Park Commissioners some time
ago and offered the land for sale, but did
not receive any encouragement. 1t is a
tract of fiat land without any forest trees
or other natural advantages for park pur-
poses, the board claims.
Beside adopting the resolution faVoring
the purchase of this land the large crowd
appointed a committee of three to confer
with the park board, as follows: f. w. Lit
tie, Edward Heitken and f. NJ Wheelon
The committee will call on the board and
urge that the Steffin-C Christian tract be
purchased FOR parks. The Journal was in
formed that the question of where the
board was TO get the money to buy the
lands was not discussed. A committee
informed last week that the board had
spent everything in sight and was directed
10 try and induce the Council to transfer
$4,000 from the labor fund for purchasing
parks on Pogues run. 1t is presumed the
committee appointed last night will co-onar-

should be stopped.

There is law against throwing
paper, trash or refuse of any sort
on the street. This law is very
good one Aside from making
everything look unsightly it is a
dangerous practice. It breeds dis
ease; it causes horses to scare by
blowing about the streets and it
clogs up the mouths of the sewers
This law is broken every day. 1t
is not municipal ordinance but is
a state law. Any one who may be
before the grand jury when asked
about violations of law must give
information against all who they
may have seen violate this statute.
The penalty is heavy one and it
should be applied few times.

Severe storm.

Point Pleasant was visited yes
terday afternoon at about three
o'clock by severe thunder storm
accompanied by down-pour of
ram which was like a torrent in its
force, and suggested the theory
that a rain cloud had burst over
head. The rain descended for
several hours uninterruptedly, and
it is computed that over two inches
fell before the storm lnlled. We
have not heard of any serious dam
age as having been done by the
storm, but its violence was phe-
nomenal while it lasted.

very dangerous wounds. and his

One of the severest electrical dis
turbances known in the history of
Point Pleasant occurred here yes
terday afternoon about 5 o'clock.
During the day the rain had been
descending freely, accompanied by
thunderstorm which grew in force
as the day advanced and approach
ed closer and closer over the city,
until at the hour mentioned after a
few minor conclusions there was
an explosion like that of the dis
charge of cannon followed by
quite fusillade, like the cracking
of score of muskets, and Main
street seemed alive with electricity
which shot across the street in veri-
table balls of fire. The alarm oc-
casioned by the thunder clap caus-
ed most people to rush to their
doors and out into the streets, al
though the rain was then descend
ing in drenching deluge, and every
body thought his neighbours place
had been struck, but fortunately
the serious damage done was con-
fined to the house occupied by MrsA
Jennie Shiveley, corner of Second
and Wand streets, which was
struck and rent in all directions.
Every corner of the building, which
is two-story frame, was torn away
and some of the portions were lift
ed off and carried distance of
several yards and deposited upon
the roofs of adjacent premises.
The windows were shattered, the
roof badly damaged, the pictures
thrown from the walls. and finally
the place was set on fire, but the
speedy arrival of the iremen eff
fectuaHy prevented the spread of
the flames. Mrs. Shiveley, who
was confined to her bed with sick
ness, received severe shock which
is likely to beattended by unpleas-
ant consequences, owing to her
shattered constitution. The light
ming seems first to have struck a
telephone pole diagonally opposite
to the house and thence been at
tracted by two trees standing in
front of the promises, from which
| it entered the house and swept
through it, coming out at the cor
ner nearest Main street, and pass
ing into the ground there, tearing
the whole corner off in its passage;
while at the same instant another
current crossed the street and en-
tered the house of colored man
named Alex Peck, who was struck
while sitting in his chair inside
the room, though not seriously
hurt. Several other people in the
vicinity received shock, including
Mr.. Lew Pomeroy, of The II. q.
Nease & Co., and Mrs. Ellen Jor-
dan, colored. The force of the
principal current lasted fully five
minutes before it was spent, and
while the storm was in progress
there was a very general alarm
throughout the city.

The First Bell West of the
Allegheny Mountains.

The removal of the old pioneer
bell of West Columbia has stirred
up the Inhabitants of that ancient
burg in great style. and it is inn
possible not to sympathise with
them. This particular bell is the
oldest in the Pomeroy bend; was
the first United Brethren bell west
of>she Allegheny mountains, and
that Mason City should take it
was more than the residents could
endure. Accordingly Mr.. John
Behan and Mr.. A. F. Booth were
instructed to take such steps as
they found practicable in either
preventing the removal, or if that
was accomplished, secure the re-
turn of the cherished bell. With
this object in view they were in
town lately and worked so az
siduously and successfully that it
is more than probable the bell will
return to West Columbia.
Sometimes there is great deal
in name, the immortal Shakes
speare to the contrary notwith-
standing. In town which may be
nameless here, is lawyer rejoic-
ing in the cognomen of "a. Swim
die" This, of course, duly appears
upon his office door. A friend of
the unfortunate gentleman, think
ing his given name might be
Arthur or Andrew, suggested that
he inscribe his full name upon the
door-plate, as it would both look
better and sound better than the
significant ga. Swindle." When
the lawyer, with tears in his voice
as well as his eyes whispered that
his name was Adam Swindle, the
friend understood and was sympa-
thetica1ly silent.
