tanned.


ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. II, 1908.
Owing to the great storm which visited
this place today, the grand council of the
Independent Order of Red Men held no
sessions up to late hour yesterday after
noon, as orders were issued by the man
agement of Young's Pier to admit no one.
This step was taken to avoid any danger.
Very few of the representatives were able
to get on the pier.
Tuesday afternoon the, committee on
ceremonies made a report recommending
that no changes be made in the ritual. A
resolution was adopted directing each
State council to be Incorporated. It was
voted not to take any steps to organize
an insurance branch of the order. Penn
sylvania entered resolution to the effect
that the great council of the order be the
sole owner of the grave marker selected
to mark the graves of deceased members.
This was defeated
Reports of committees were considered
at til session Tuesday afternoon. The
committee of Judiciary recommended that
all the decisions of great incohone,
Thomas G. Harrison, be approved. The
committee also reported rule that cleo
tions in tribes must be held strictly in ac-
cordance with the law. The entire re-
port was adopted.
The appeal committee recommended
that the appeal from Railway Tribe, of
this state, be dismisse. The report was
adopted. The great councils of Maryland
and Pennsylvania were sustained in two
appeal cases.
The matter of permitting each State
great councils of the degree of Pocahon-
tas selecting State totem was argued,
and then referred to the committee on
ceremonies for report.

arrived.
An American Sugar Refinery truck
was stalled near the foot of the Newark
avenue hill. The food of rain water had
eaten away the topping Of recently
constructed sewer. The weight of the
truck caused the paving to sink in and
hole 10x20 feet was made in the road
way, and through which sewage from
the Hill pourned down, creating a lake
under the Pennsylvania Railroad freight
trestle that stopped both pedestrian and
trolley car traffic.

Hospital buildings was pathetic. 1t is

been in precarious condition for years

RAvAGES OF The
STORM.
While the Hill Suffered Con-
siderably the Down
town Section Had
the Worst Of It.
A HOUSE ON ITS HEAD
Thrilling Experience of MRS.
Kennedy and Mrs. Ryan
The City Flooded,
A HOUSE ON IT'S HEAD

The wind and rainstorm that struck
this city yesterday didn't do any really
great damage, but it scared some people.
who We're afraid they might be in the
wake of tornado like that which de-
vastated Van Worst Park. All of these
were agreeably disappointed. No one
was hurt, despite the fact that houses
were unuroofed, and in one case house
built upon four spiles within the limits
! of the city was blown down, but the
two women occupants escaped injury.
The house which they occupied was torn
from its anchorage" and upset in a
vacant lot ten feet away. The two
women, though buffeted about, escaped
serious injury and crawled through a
window of the upturned honse. The
house was known as No. 50 Terrace
avenue. The house was occupied by
Mrs. Frank Kennedy and Mrs Ryan,
and when the house was lifted from its
foundation they had really thrilling
experience.
The full force of the storm, wind and
rain, however, was felt downtown. The
Hill police precincts are somewhat
meagre as to results of the storm. The
policeman is human, and when there is
danger from the elements he is expected
to take care of himself if he is to be
wanted in cases of emergency. The full
details of the storms ravages, it is fair
to presume, have not yet been reported.
The condition of affairs at lower Pa
Eonia avenue can be imagined. A north
east wind blew in a tide that usually
floods the ferry house. Women and chill
dren were taken from the ferry house
to trolley cars in the arms of stout men
in rubber boots. That has been done
on numerous occasions and is nothing
new.
In various portions of the city houses
were unroofed. Such was the fate of
three two-story buildings, Nos. 346, 34s
and 352 Princeton avenue; also of, Nos.
B5 and 80 Winfield avenue. The Prince
ton avenue houses unroofed belonged to
James Clark. whose residence is un-
known. The roof of No. 1046 Garfield
avenue was blown off,. A mammoth tree
fell at Astor place and Summit avenue,
blocking traffic
A tree that fell at Paterson Plank road
and Hackensack street carried down
with it telegraph wires that same into
contact with trolley feed wires. Two
horses attached to trucks stepped upon
the network of wires that had thus be,
come alive and were killed instantly.
Right behind them came team attached
to Hills bakery wagon. One of the
team stepped upon a live wire and
Rdropped dead.
The fierce winds blew lace curtains

SMOKE STACK FALLS AND
KILLS TWO LEIPSIC MEN
FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT LAWN & SONS TO-
MAT0 CANNERY AT LEIPSIC, SATURDAY.
Brick Stack Sixty Feet High Collapsed and Fell
Killing Saumel FOssett and Joseph Monk
and DemOIishing the Building.

AS the result of the collapse of a
large brick smoke stack, sixty feet
nigh, at the LAWN and Sons canning
factory at Leipsic, Saturday morning.
Samuel Fossett, night watchman. and
Joseph Monk, alias, "Joseph Sancbien
met with instant death. The bodies
OF samuel Fossett and Joseph Monk
which were dug out of the debris some
hours after the accident occurred. he
SIDES being crushed almost bevond
recognition, had been blistered from
mead to foot by steam, which escaped
from the boilers. One of Monks feet
was fastened to the door of a furnace
The globe of the lantern which Eos
sett held was not injured. Harvey
heynoIds' the engineer, had narrow
escape. He was asleep about 50 feet
from Fossett and Monk, and was
awakened by the escaping steam
with difficulty he opened a galvanized
iron door and entered the ward. and
while passing through the latter he
barely escaped falling into q well 90
feet deep. Assistance was summoned
by Reynolds.
The smokestack collapsed without
warning. No one can tell what
caused it to fall, as Fossett and Monk
were the only persons on night dntv
The chimney had been standing %
years. Had the accident occurred
earlier, 1t would have been when 95
others were in the building. The
catsup gang, which left shortly after
had scarcely reached their
homes, when the chimney collapsed.
The factory is practically rendered
useless for the remainder of the sea-
son, which means loss of several
thousand dollars 10 the owners and q
similar loss to the farmers who had
contracted for tomatoes. In canning
the tomatoes now on hand threshing
engines will be employed to furnish
the steam.
