THE STORM.
Heavy Rainfall and Wonderful
Electrical Display.

Sewers Clogged- Cellars Flooded
Streets Badly Washed in Fourth
Ward -Chancery Row Shocked By
Lightning Trees Torn to Splinters
by it on Wiies Hill.
One OF the heaviest rain storms of
the season visited this county Wed
nesday night and Thursday morning.
The electrical display Wednesday
night was beautiful. There was zig
gag lightning, sheet lightning and
ball lightning in rapid succession
making the timid quake, and furn-
ishing much pleasure to those who
do not fear it.
Wednesday afternoon there were
some sharp flashes which were very
close, and struck in one or two
places. The shock from one of those
was felt very perceptibly along Chan
Gerry Row. Mr. Mcclure who was
in the office with Frank Corbin re-
ceived the severest shock. The cur

There were scores of fuses burned
out on the telephone lines, and where
they were not burned, people had in

could be reached in the county early
Thursday morning was Laurel Point.
There was very heavy rain at the
Point but no serious damage was
done.
In town the streets were trans
formed into rivulets. Sewers clog
ged and over flowed, cellars and
basement stores flooded, and every
roof that had defect sprung leak.
The sewer at DR.. Casselberry' S
home over flowed. and turned the
water into his cellar and Mr.. L. Nj
Gregg's. The sewer was clogged at
Reeds corner, and at Herds corner
there was a veritable little lake.
The payements were strewn with
earth and debris washed in from un-
paved alleys and streets.
At Jones avenue and Overhill
streets in Fourth ward, there was a
tremendous torrent poured down the
hill carrying dirt, drift, stone, over
flowing the sewer, and spreading the
burden of trash out over the street
A fill recently made by Rufus
West at one of his lots on Sunnysidt

DANGEROUS
Is the Condition of Suburban
Streets.
County Roads, Pixies, Compared with
City Streets-Recent Rains Have
Made Them Little Riyulets Some of
Them mpassable for Vehicles.

Morgantown has fine paved streets
in the old part OF the town, and they
are the pride OF the city and state.
Visitors comment on them every day.
But she also has about Is miles OF
the worst suburban streets any town
was ever called upon TO tolerate.
They lead out in every direction TO
the limits of the Greater Morgantown
corporation. Some of them are pas
sable and some are impossible fol
teams, but you can manage to pick
your way over them with horse OF
on foot. Scarcely a lick has been
struck for their repair or improve
ment since the Incorporation of the
city OF Morgantown.
Culverts have been filed up with
debris and been thrown out. The
waters from numerous heavy rains
have encroached upon the highways,
till now they have become the low
ways for streams of muddy water
through which travellers must wade In
order to enter the great city.
The road leading toward Evansville
through the First ward once fan
bicycle track is now SO full of ''ehuek
holes" it is dangerous to drive in a
trot over it with buggy. Beverly
and Collins Ferry Pike now Pike
street in Fourth ward is equally as
bad with the additional damage due
to stream of water washing away
the road bed for hundreds OF yards
The new road connecting Eighth
street with Pike street up the hill is
impossible for buggy and dangerous
for horseback travel. The county,
town of Seneca and private indiyid-
uals spent four hundred to five hun.
dred dollars on this road before it was
absorbed by the city and had fairly
good road.
The highway leading to Cheat via
Easton once the pride of the town and
county and on which was the famous
mile ground race track has been well
nigh impossible within the city linn
its, and is not yet in condition to be
termed one of the city's b0uleyards.
The road up Deckers Creek beggared
description in the spring and though
now pasSable 1t may be permanently
remedied by the construction of thf
new road across the lands of Sturgiss

meet with Prospect and Wiley stseet.
at the Wallace cottage.
Most of these roads were passablJ
good highways when they were kept
up by the county. Now they are go
ing from bad to worse and the end i:
not yet.
Who is to be responsible for tn il
condition of our suburban highway!
and how is this to be remedied? Tha'
is the question that is now calling TO
an answer among hundreds OF people.
A city cannot be most attractive
and prosperous when hemmed in b.

There must be communication be

PARKERSRURG SELECTED
For the West Virginia National
Guard Encampment

Governor White Decided the Matter
Yesterday in Favor of his Home
Town.
The annual encampment OF the West
Virginia National Guard will be held
in ParKersburg, beginning August 5.
That fact was settled by Governor
A. B. White, while in the city a
white yesterday evening between
trains, and was announced to repre-
sentative of The News by Adjutant
General S. B. Baker. who was in con-
terence with Governor White at The
Jackson soon after his arrival in the
city.
The date Of the encampment had
been decided previously, but no one
but the Governor knew where it would
be held and he did not decide that
question, 50 far as the public is con-
cerned, till yesterday evening. Hunt
| ington and Charleston were both bid
ders for the encampment. as it is
reasoned that it is good thing for
any city that gets it. Parkersburg
got it.
Governor White arrived in that city
| from Charleston yesterday evening at
| five o'clock He was accompanied by
Hon. Vim. M. o. Dawson, Secretary
of State; Hon. Arnold G. Scherr,
Auditor of the State; and Hon. Peter
| Silman, Treasurer OF the State.
| These gentlemen are mem Ders OF the
| Board of Public Works and were on
their way TO Mountain Lake Park to
remain for two weeks. At that cool
and delightful mountain resort they
will wrestle with the complex question
of railroad valuations, which is one OF
the most arduous, as well as one of
! the most responsible duties, these
State officials have TO discharge. Upon
their arrival here they went to The
Jackson.
Adiutant General Baker met the
Governor upon bis arrival and had a
conference with him at the hotel con-
corning the location of the National
Guard encampment. The Adjutant
General impressed on the Governor
the urgent necessity of at once reach
ing a decision as to that point. He
stated that a committee Of gentlemen
of this city had raised $500, had Sc
cured free lights from the Inter Urban
Company, as well as handsome cash
contribution from that company, and
had also secured the Stephenson COM
mon on Seventh street, which, as the
Governor was doubtless well aware,
was suitable and desirable place for
having the camp. The subject was
discussed pro and con by the Governor
and the Adjutant General, with the
result that the governor decided the
matter In favor of his home city and
hence the encampment will be held IN
Parkersburg next month.
1t will bring to that city all the Of
ficers and men of the National Guard,
the Governor and his staff, nearly q
900 men In all for stay of ten days;
besides, it will attract numerous visi-
tors from all sections of the State,
and, all in all, the encampment week
will be gala occasion in Parkersburg.
The local committee, j. B. Finley,
chairman, and Adjutant Baker de-
serve to be congratulated for the sue
cessful work they did that captured
the coveted prize for Parkersburg.

Fist comes the note which says that
all the studies of the vatican were

begs that Ii something further with
