JOURNALISTIC.

Weatherly Tlegraph on Thurday an
nounced its own suspension, and the
publisher, Emory Washburn, will take
the plant elsewhere. 1t is no fault of
the paper that it did not live. 1t was

offending the powers that be. politically,
Black Diamond, of Mahanoy City, has
suspended publication, temporarily.

An extremely severe thunder storm passed
over Hartford county on Tuesday, breaking
the long protracted drought and doing almost
incalculable good to the psrched earth and
furnishing crops. In Bel Air the rain was a
delightfully."- gentle one, but in the fourth dis
trict and other sections 1t nearly amounted to
II cloud burst. The lightning was fierce and
almost continuous. Dubois: saw-mtll at
Hagre de Grace was struck about 5 P. NJ, and
damaged to the extent of several hundred
dollars. About thirty feet of the huge smoke
stack was demolished and the steam whistle
was torn off. The lightning took downward
course damaging the boiler and setting fire to
the mill in several places. The fire was soon
eXtinguished. The current followed the tele-
phone wires to the office, about $50 feet dis
cant. burning out the instrum ut and slightly
shocking Mr.. Bennett Charshee, who was in
the office. At the telegraph office all of the
instruments except one were destroyed, and
the entire telephone system throughout the
city was rendered useless.
