The Grand Old Man of Italy was repre-

included the terrible Tamagno in the part
Of the Moor, the part which he created.
Last night 'OtelIo' was sung by the little
band of Italians, and it is only fair to say

went TO hear the opera rather than the
cast. But sometimes there are casts that

waters. There was a good-sized wash
out on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western at Henryville.
At the Water Gap the storm was es-
pecially fierce and was accompanied
by vivid thunder and lightning. The
clouds hung low on the mountain and
at one time completely enveloped ev-
erything in a thick mist. A picnic
party of men and women from Ban
gor were caught in the shower and
drenched to the skin. Lightning struck
the wagon shed of A. II. Fetherman, OF
Bossardsville, doing considerable dam
age. A bolt struck a green tree on the
property of George Erdman, in Hamil-
ton township, causing 1t to burst into
flames and burn up. This Is an un-
usual occurrence.
out in Jackson the storm was very
severe. Five bridges belonging to the
county were swept away by the force
of the water. The bridges are located
near Mrs. Frank Rinker's, one near
Ralph Singers, two near Abraham Os-
terhout's and one near the Price prop
erty. Shafer's bridge over the Pocono
creek, in Stroud township, has been
swept away by the suddent rise Of the
water and is a total loss.
At Analomink and vicinity much
damage was done. Camp Lambader
was deluged with water, and the SOL
dier boys of the Temple Guard had a
real taste of camp life.
