I'm PATH OF STORM
Wind and Lightning Play Havoc
With Buildings, Wires
and Crops.
BOLT TEARS OUT END OF A BARN
Growing Grain FIattened.-W
dows Broken and CHM
neys Blown Over.

During yesterday afternoons storm
a large plate glass window in Muir
phys grocery store on Third avenue
and Ninth street was broken in a
rather peculiar manner. The store
faces the east and the wind blew
from the southwest. The rear doors
and windows were all closed, yet for
some unexplained reason the heavy
glass was burst outward and fell in
fragments upon the sidewalk.
Lightning struck the home of Mrs.
Ann Dolly, on Sixth avenue and
.Twenty-ffth street, but, fortunately,
the only damage was the breaking OF
a pane of glass.
Two chimueys were blown off the
residence of Mrs. M. j. Phillips, 227
Sixteenth street.
A wooden annex to the Schaab
block on Sixteenth street and Fourth
avenue was blown out into the street.
Joe Rosenfield. manager of the
Rock Island Regalia company, had a
narrow escape from the mass OF glass
that was blown into his office in the
Csrse block when the plate window
of the west store room gave way to
the wind. AS it was one of the large
pieces of glass struck him on the
shoulder. but he was not hurt. The
dimensions of the window were 12x12.
Wires Damaged.
The telephone and telegraph lines
run ming into the city were quite bad
ly damaged both by lightning and
by ,lling power wires.
The storm was local in its nature,
although a good portion of the lower
end of the county was affected. The
wind was severe and growing crops
were badly hattened. Small grain
had not made heavy growth this
year and will for the most part rise
again, and corn will not be materially
damaged, but uncut clover has been
laid so flat there will be some loss in
harvesting it.
Barn Struck.

No Truth I'm Rumor that Wabash Will
Go to PIttsburg-Big Order for Pas
scnser and Freight Equipment.

Despite all denials since the construction
of the Chicago. Indiana & Eastern road
was commenced. an impression has pre-
vailed that the Pennsylvania was. in some
manner directly or indirectly, connected
with the enterprise. The correctness OF this
impression begins to develop 1t Is an
nounced that the Pennsylvania, in con-
nection with the Chicago. Indiana * East
ern, will put on a line OF sleeping cars be-
tween Muncie and Chicago within the next
thirty days, and will have a route forty
four miles shorter than any other line. The
Chicago, Indiana & Eastern strikes the
Panhandle at Converse. While citizens OF
Muncie are not aware of the fact, on Mon
day, officials of the Pennsylvania line
made a trip over the Chicago, Indiana &
Eastern, carefully inspecting the property,
and, as result of this trip, the Journal
has excellent authority for stating that the
Pennsylvania Company will furnish the
capital to build system of tracks in Mum
Gle, reaching the more important industries
OF that city, enabling the Pennsylvania
Company to get hold of the extensive traf-
nc Muncie affords, making inroads into the
business of both the Big Four and the Lake
Erie & Western. This invasion of territory
OF the Vanderbilt lines is in the nature OF
surprise, and previous to the harmonious
relations which exist between the
great railroad systems would have led TO
rate wars.
