FIRST SWEET POTATO.

The first new sweet potato we
have seen this season was brought
to our sanctum last Friday by MIR.
E. L. Billingsley, of the Black Creek
settlement. 1t was of fairly good
eating size, and all farmers who have
seen it say it is far ahead of the
average this season. AS a usual
thing at this time of the year new
sweet potatoes are pretty plentiful
on the Market Not SO now, how
ever.

Two miles from st. Mary's church.
and nearly on a line with it on New
ark avenue is the Bijou theater. "Tbe
Man Who Dared" company was re-
hearsing for an opening of the theater
for the season. Two lions that are
used in the play were in a cage on the
stage when a sudden rush of wind
made the building tremble. Warming
cries caused the performers to leave
the stage not a moment too soon.
Bricks came down from the high walls,
running the stage and bending the
lions cage. The lions roared in ter
ror. AS the performers rushed out
shout was raised in the street that the
lions were loose and the crowd which
had seeked shelter in the corridor fled
panic stricken. The lions did not es-
cape, but their cages were hit and
the beasts were cut by the bricks.
On the south side of Newark avenue,
opposite the theater, the roofs of IL
three-story buildings were ripped off.
The storm struck st. Matthews Luth-
eran church, demolishing the roof and
the steeple. Van Worst park, in the
heart of the business district. was the
scene of the storms fiercest work.
There the growths of many decades
were uproOted or broken off as though
they were made of pipe clay. A piece
of the roof of the Union League club,
opposite the park, was lifted and car
ried over to the park and dropped on
the ground.
No persons were killed or injured so
far as known. The storm in New York
city was confined to heavy downpour
of rain with a violent wind. 1t was
heaviest in the Bronx. where the
streets were flooded. The cut through
the Harlem division, where the New
York Central runs, close to Williams
burg, was flooded from two to three
feet. There was much sand on the
railroad tracks and trains were unable
to get out. At the One Hundred and
Eighty-third street station the plat
form on the downtown side of the
railroad was lifted and washed out
to the tracks. This. with the water,
blocked all the south-bound trains for
a time.
