1t is not often that wild animals
are found on the principal streets

a half-grown opposum was found under
the steps leading into place of bust
ness Of Mr.. Walter J. Lambert on North

ed to repair the awning when to the
surprise If everv one an Opposum was
found under them, where he had made
his abode for no telling how long. The
animal was half grown ana was very
fat
1t is now a mystery to all as to
how thhe animal got under the steps
as they are so close to the building
and securely fastened 50 no one could
have placed it there. 1t is thought
that it ESCAPED some one when quite
young and concealed itself there. Mr..
Lambert now has the animal in box

Rev. Charles Fisher Of Boonsboro,
read paper Yesterday before the
United Breathern Ministerial Associa-
ton of Washington County which met
in st. Paul's United Brethren.Church,
Hagerstown. advocating the proposed
union of the Methodist Protestant,
Congregational and United Brethren
denominations. He told atslength OF
the many advantages which he SAID
would follow the union.
The reading of the paperiwas follow
ed by An animated discussion in which
the members of the association were
about equally divided in their views.
Those favorable to the union thought
that where small results now follow
scattered efforts concentrated worK
would result in great achievements.
They pointed out that if combinations
were successful in business they would
likewise be successful in church work.
Ministers opposing the proposed
union claimed that il would wipe out
not only individual but denomina-
tional zeal. The giving up OF the
name United Brethren was also made
a strong poipt of objection. Among
those who took part in the discussion
were Rev. A. NJ. Evers, A. B. Stat

STORM At WINCHESTER
CIoudburst Floods the Town and
Does Great Damage.
HEAVY D0WNPOUR AT lNWo0D
CoIored campmeeting Broken Up BY he
Rain Martinsburg Visited by Terrific
Fall Of Water.

Sunday afternoon the most serious
cloudburst ever experienced in Win
chester broke over the city. submerg-
ing the entire town in from three TO
six feet Of water. In com parison with
the cloudburst of two weeks, ago the
storm was shower to Yesterday after
Moons downfall. The damage Will
reach thousands of dollars, every store,
residence and building in the center
OF the city was under several feet Of
water The flood which followed the
cloudburst was caused bv breaking of
the channel Of the town run. together
with the unprecedented precipitation
of rain. making other streams overflow.
This submerged the western portions
of the CITY, and descending in an
immense volume upon the lower part
of the town, converted the streets in
TO raging torrents of water.
The force of the current tore open
Main and Water street doors, and
flooded rhe first floors and stores and
dwellings.
In number of instances persons
caught by the rush of water were
rescued through windows aud others
swan in the streets from their stores.
At the Cumberland Valley Railroad
yards lumber was swept in tie current,
the roadbed was washed out, while in
still higher places the volume of water
covered fences and swept them away.
Debris of every description tioated
through the streets and clogged up the
outlets. This caused the water to
break up in the streets. The first
floor of the postoffice, the newspaper
offices and other places along Water
street were badly damaged. The
losses can not be estimated. but will
reach thousands of dollars.
THE STORM HERE.
The fall of rain in MartinsburR
in the afternoon was unusually heavy
for about an hour, but no great amount
of damage was done by the water.
The streets were flooded in the down
town districts to the depth of a
couple of inches. and in some places
in the outskirts of the CITY the side
walks and streets were washed dow n
and slightly amaged. The channels
carried off the water into the usual
courses, however, although the down
pour WIS verv heavy and continuous.
DOwNPOUR AT INWOOD.

some places the water was two feet
