MOHAWK VALLEY DELUeED. '
CIOudburst and HaiIstOrm Do 1
 Great Deal of Damage.


 FORT PLAIN, N. Y, July 25.--A cloudburst in farming district eight miles south of here yesterday after noon caused great damage. Torrents of water fell almost without an in- stant's warning, running nearly ripe crops, tearing up highways and de- stroying many bridges.
 The cloudburst extended northward ten miles to Little Falls, where, the streets were flooded, the basements of stores wrecked and the Central Hud- sons tracks covered with water, which also surrounded the depot. The cloud burst was followed by hailstorm, with stones as big as hickory nuts, that did heavy damage to orchards, stripping the trees not only of fruit and foliage, but good sized limbs as we'll.
 The section where the storm ragged Is an important hop growing one, and the damage to the crop is incalculable. A large creek flowing through here from the south was raised fully six feet in ten minutes, an occurrence un- known heretofore. With the deluge came dead pigs, fences, bridge timber, field crops and debris of every descrip- ton.

Bitterly AssaiIs Mir. Wyndham Dur
 ing the Irish Debate.


 LONDON, July 25.-During the Irish debate in the house of commons yes terday William O'Brien (Nationalist) made fighting speech punctuated by loud Nationalist cheers, in which he declared that MT. Wyndham had in sinuated that the trustees of the ten ants of Lord de Freyne would turn out to be swindlers. This said Mir. O'Brien, Is fouler than the offense of Sheridan, for MT. Wyndham had abused the privi-. ege of the house of commons by mak- ing insinuations that he would not have dared to mention elsewhere. MT. of Prussia and a German fleet had landed an army in Bantry bay it would not have required many organizers to bring every young man in Ireland who was worth his salt under Prince Hen ry's flag Amid much disturbance MT. OBrien declared that the Irish land trust was run by a pair of perjured privy councillors" and for this expres- sion he was called to order. Mir O'Brien improved the occasion by mentioning the councillors by name-namely, Lord Clonbrock and Right Hon. Arthur Hugh Smith BarrS .'The latter" said Mr. O'Brien, twas drummed out of this house."
 Dealing with Mir. Wyndham's refer ance to the expenses of the Irish dele gates in the United States, MT. O'Brien asked Aow MT. Wyndham would like he Natioualists to delve into the de- !ails of his wine bill.

Denies Ever Having Had a Dollar of
 May YOhe's Money.
 LONDON, July 25.-Captain Putnam Bradlee Strong has arrived here from Southampton. He was a passenger on the steamship St. Paul, which arrived there from New York yesterday. Cap tain Strong is now at west end hotel.
 In conversation about his departure Captain Strong said he had pawned about $S, 400 worth of May Yohe's jew elry at her request and for her benefit after they returned from Japan and that Miss Yohe had received the entire proceeds from him at the time the jew els were pawned.
 q have never had a dollar of May Yohe's money, and no one knows it Strong. "The money on which I am now travelling was received from the sale of my library, and of this fact May Yohe is also aware.
 ..I have done many foolish and un- wise things, but have not been crim- lnal.>
 "As to my future movements, do not think they should interest any one greatly. But I will say that purpose living quietly and endeavoring to re- deem my good name.
 '.As to the story that rified her safe ty deposit box. that is absurd on its face. May Yohe never had any safety deposit box that know of, and if she had one any banker could tell you that without her authority I could never have had access to it."

ORGANIZERS IN JAIL.
Severe Sentences For West
 Virginia. Mine Workers.
VIOLATED JUDGE JACESON'S ORDER.
Counsel For the Imprisoned Miners Preparing Papers In Habeas Corpus Proceedings Bits
 ter Feeling Aroused.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, July 25.-- Judge Jackson ill the United States district court yesterday held Mother" Jones and seven other organizers of the United Mine Workers and num- Der of Hungarian miners guilty Of con- tempt in violating his restraining order of June 19 and passed sentence on them of from sixty to ninety days in jail, with the exception of Mother Jones and the Hungarians.
 The occasion had been anticipated with anxiety, so that many attorneys, operators and miners were present. It was currently reported that the house of Judge Jackson had been guarded for several nights and that guards were in the courtroom. 1t Is stated edge of the judge. There was intense interest shown by every one as Judge Jackson read his decision.
 Mother Jones was surrounded by other defendants, and Vice President Lewis of the United Mine Workers was present with them. The defendants were surprised by both the decision and the sentence and expressed them selves bitterly.
 Counsel for the imprisoned miners are preparing for habeas corpus pro- ceedings in the United States court of appeals at Richmond, Va, alleging Judge Jackson had no jurisdiction in the cases of Mother Jones and her associates.
 John J. Coniff of Wheeling and one of the counsel of the miners will leave at once for Richmond to present ha- ibeas corpus papers. He says the pro- ceedings here were brought not by the Clarksburg Fuel company, but by bondholder, and for that reason an custer will be asked.
 While the sentences given are con- sidered severe, it is anticipated that Judge Jackson will deal firmly with ". B. Wilson, secretary of the United Mine Workers, ySho has also been held in contempt, but who is at his head quarters in Indianapolis. District At torney Blizzard has filed an affidavit that Secretary w. B. Wilson violated the restraining order of June 19 by making an inhammatory speech at Clarksburg July and another at Fair mont July and asked the court for his arrest. Judge Jackson made tue or der that Wilson be arrested and brought within the jurisdiction of his court.

A VETERAN FARMER.
Still Lively and Spry at the Age of
 79 Years

19 YearS.
 On Sunday, July 13, occurred the seventv-ninth anniversary of the birth of William Harris of the Johnson Lane district Middletown. The event coming on a Sunday was very quietly observed. MT Harris was the recipi- ent of a number of calls and hearty congratulations from his neighbors. MT and Mrs Harris have enjoyed 56 years of married life and bid fair to celebrate many more wedding anni- yersaries. MT Harris is very active for man of his years and may be seen at work around his well kept farm. He is a veteran drummer and always turns out with the members of the Henry c. Hubbard drum corps, with which he has been identified for many years. He beats the sheepskin with as much vigor as any of the others and is always in line on the march. On many occasions when the corps has turned out they have been given long marches in parades, etc, but MT Harris has always been equal to the occoasion and never has been the first to complain of fatigue. He has been a prominent democrat from early manhood. He has had oppor- tunity to vote for fifteen presidents and has always taken keen interest in politics.

FIRE IN A CHIMNEY.
''Tuggy" Lynch Promptly Responds to
 Call For Help.

~ SeAbA A VI &4SARs
 A fire started yesterday noon in the chimney of the house on Allen street occupied by Edward Friberg and the efforts of the juvenile portion of that section to extinguish the blaze were not without 1udicrous features, says the New Britain Herald.
 boy known among his companions as "Tuggy'' Lynch was coming across the lots with pail of berries when his help was solicited to put out the fire. He responded promptly taking his berries with him. He climbed up on the s'ell' of the house. then onto the roof, looked into the chimney and in a voice that could be heard for quite a distance shouted, "Its blazing"
 "Spit on 1t Tuggy," said boy be- low. ''I'll spit on you," replied '"Tug gy."
 "Get up your water here."
 A relay was established, pail of water was procured and when 1t final ly reached "Tuggy'' he dumped it into the chimney. He then let the pail slide down the roof and to prove the wisdom of such action he slid down after 1t himself This performance was continued until it seemed as though "Tuggy" and his companions were happy. Mir. Friberg was not at home. but when he appeared the juv- chile firemen took to their heels and some one sent word to engine company No. 3. Several of the company went over in the supply wagon and with an extinguisher put out the fire. 1t was stated that the same chimney has been on fire three or four times this summer.

IN THE EVENING HUSH

lr u l. What witchery dwells in the evening
 gloam When the fire burns low and the shad-
 oWs roam Like fitting ghosts. where the dim
 light falls Tn flickering shapes on the dusky
 walls? What spirits come when the heart And moves again over the darkened That walk with me through the Long
 Ago In the evening hush when the lights
 are low? What shadows over the dim room
 creep To silent mourn or to pause and weep And place a wreath on some crum-
 bled tomb Half lost in the dust of the ancient
 gloom? Forgotten shapes that in silence come When the ears are dulled and the lips
 are dumb And only the dream tides ebb and flow In the evening hush when the lights
 are low. Gray spectres out of the vanished Past Come stealing forth; and all flying fast The mystic ones from the Future
 greet And clasp white hands as the wind
 ing sheet Unrolls. quick flooding the haunted
 room With the scent of a long-dead roses
 bloom; And Memory's visions come and go In the evening hush when thelights
 are low Ahi Always thus in the eerie time 'Twixt night and day I can hear the
 chime From the clock of Fate on either hand From the curtained Past and the un-
 known land I have dreamed about but have never
 seen; And hark to both as sit between While the white ones mingling come
 and go Tn the evening hush when the lights
 are low? There are ghosts of dreams that I
 dreamed when young; When Hope her shimmering light
 scarf flung All jeweled, streaming adown the sky. And Loves bright chariots thundered
 by. Bright dreams they were; but the
 brightest naw Are they of the palest and care-lined
 brightest now When the ghosts of the old days come
 and go In the evening hush when the lights
 are low. The freight dies and the night Is
 here; The fiickering shadows disappear To roam again in" the far off land And beckon me with spectral hand. An, well! not long till I, too, shall be A silent one of the company, And haunt the gloom and the fire
 lights glow In the evening hush when the lights
 are low. Lowell o. Reese in San Francisco Bulletin.

Make a Human hradge.

A curious custom takes place in vil- 1ages of the Luxemburg district, Bel gium, in May. After Sunday service numbers of lads cluster round the church entrance, and as the girls come out seize them one by one, one lad grasping girl by the shoulder and the other by the heels, the two lifting her we'll up, while third pumpkin passes under the human bridge thus formed. This is done in the presence of the parents, who themselves have passed through the same ordeal.-St. Louis Republic
