STORMS WILD WORK.
Wind and Flood Cause Great Damage
to Property in New jersey
and Pennsylvania.

New York, Aug. 26.-The country
from above Tarrytown to the center of
New Jersey and from eastern Con-
necticut to Mauch Chunk, Pa, was del
uged with cloudburst whipped with
high winds and cut and torn with rush
ing rivers and cataracts of water from
leaden clouds which obscured the
whole sky.
The rain fell in torrents, with only
two brief intervals when the clouds
seemed to pause to refresh themselves.
Every street car and railroad line in
this whole district was hampered, and
in some places traffic was entirely sus-
pended for the night.
Thousands of dollars of damage was
done to property. Trees and buildings
in Jersey City and Hoboken were
blown down. Houses were undermined
by water, and only remarkable good
fortune prevented great loss of life.
Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-Reports re-
ceived in this city state that the heavy
rains which have fallen almost inces-
sanity during the last week through
out the state have resulted in the most
disastrous flood experienced in many
years. At Maurh Chunk the storm was
attended by four fatalities.
AT Wilkesbarre q landslide occurred
along the Lehiah Valley railroad at the
eastern approach of the Nosburg tun-
mel and traffic was suspended for sew
eral hours. a washout ,on the Sum
bury branch of the Pennsylvania rail-
road delayed traffic several hours.
In Shamollin. Tamaqua, Pittston and
other mining towns many collieries
have been flooded and work has been
suspended.
Ell Reno, Okla, Aug. 23.-The latest
news from Anadarko in special to the
American states that only two per-
sons, w. Il. Tevis, of Weatherford, Tex,
and Felix Antoine, of Lamar county,
Texas, were killed in the storm Wednes-
day evening. Dana Warren, of Stark
county, was badly bruised about
the back and abdomen, but will re-
cover. The damage to property is
$4,000. About 20 buildings We're al
most completely wrecked, and hun
dreds of tents and great quantities of
merchandise were strewn over the
prairie.
Reports Thursday indicate that the
storm was severe in the country dis
tricts. Several people are reported
killed and injured and many buildings
are reported destroyed. but as the
points are off thr railroad, nothing
definite has been learned. One report
says that four persons were killed at
n farmhouse IL few miles out from
Anadarko. II is believed that the dam
aye to crops and live stock will be
heavy.
Chickasla. south of FL Reno and
east of Anatlarko in the Indian terri
tory country, was also in the path of
the storm. The damage done there,
however, appears to have been slight,
and no one is reported injured.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Enlarged Business at
Better Prices.

New York, Aug. 2l-Bradstreet's says:

strongly In the direction Of an enlarged
business at steady or higher prices. Crop

with wheat, though weakening on its own
account on better crop advices from the
states east of the Mississippi, where timely
rains have fallen. Net changes for the
week are slight. Some hog products, par
ticularly lard, have sympathized with the
strength of corn.'
~. u. Dun q Co., In their Weekly Review
Of Trade, say:
Though there are some drawbacks,
notably the labor troubles in the iron and
steel Industry, business Is of well-sustained
volume. to which fact payments through
the country's clearing houses. railroad
earnings and the strength of prices Of
staple and partly manufactured merchan-
disc ofter ample testimony. The Anal.
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Plate Workers succeeded in enlisting the
sympathy Of other workmen with the re-
suit that the output of merchant bar and
wire rods is curtailed to the extent Of
about 10000 tons monthly. Beyond this de-
lectlon. wage earners in allied branches Of
the steel industry have refused to break
their contracts. Many Idle mills resumed
during the past week, and even in the tin
plate region there is q moderate output.
Plates have begun to arrive from abroad,
and prices in the London market sharply
advanced. Hoop and sheet mills increase
production daily, and there is no loss in
the rail division, but some anxiety is felt
regarding supplies of cotton ties as the
picking season has begun in many states.
Decreased consumption tends to weaken
pig iron, and tin is similarly affected.

interests.
Besides the immediate causes of the.
disagreement, it is pointed out that
constant difficulties were placed inthe

This should be watchful period for
mothers, for these early Friendships
have q marked influence on the mind,
morals and manners of child. Near

largely by early companionship and

may be quite sure that If they are
left to the care of servants they will

mother should DO so much her chill

associates and is able to nip in ths
bud any acquaintance which she
thinks undesirable. The mother who.
