CORN DAMAGED BY WINDS
Many Barns Blown Over In Warren
and Madison Counties.

Wick, Aug. IA terrific wind storm
accompanied by downpour Of rain
amounting almost to a water spout
passed over southern Madison and
Warren counties yesterday at little
before noon, doing untold damage to
corn, orchards and farm improvements
In this vicinity the wind was so terri
fic as TO amount practically to hur-
ricane. Barns and out-buildings were
blown over and windmills toppled on
many farms. Corn was laid fiat upon
the earth and orchards are in ruins.
On the Howard Davidson and Gibson
farms barns were wrecked. On the
McCroby, Powers and Duff farms wind
mills were blown down. Many of the
farmers in this neighborhood suffered
from loss of crops. The storm came
up from the west and passed over
Wick in about thirty minutes. Scores
ran for cellars and cyclone caves.
Thomas A. Walker, an old resident
here says that he never saw heavier
wind in this part of the state. His
corn was blown to the ground. ut
is luck that the wind and rain was not
accompanied by hail." said Mr.. Walk
er, cor our corn would be total loss.
AS 1t is the damage is more than can
be estimated at this time"
Apples were shaken from trees and
in many instances the trees uprooted.
Shade trees on many of the streets
of this place were broken and up
rooted.

DISASTER At BALL PARK.
overcrowded Walk Gives Way and
Hundreds Are Carried Down.

Philadelphia. Aug. 10.-Four per-
sons are dead. at least twelve are
thought to be fatally injured and fully
$50 others hurt, some seriously, as the
result of an accident which occurred
Saturday at the Philadelphia National
League base ball park. A board walk
which overhung the west field bleach
ers fell to the street, carrying 200
spectators.
Two games were scheduled between
Boston and Philadelphia, and the game
drew over $4,000 persons to the ball
park. The accident occurred at $40
o'clock, while the Boston team was at
bat in the fourth inning of the second
game, and was directly due to quar-
rel between two drunken men In the
street. The National league stands
are built Of steel and brick, the brick
wall extending entirely around the
grounds. At the top Of the left field
seats. and extending from the grand
stand to the end of the bleachers,
there was a walk about three feet
wide which overhung the street. II
was this walk that gave way under
the heavy weight.
Men who had been standing on the
walk were attracted by disturbance
in the street They leaned over the
side Of the railing to see what was
the trouble, and this drew the atten-
tion Of other spectators seated on the
top rows of the bleachers. Then oc-
Cured what is seen almost every day
at ball game-a rush to see what
other spectators were looking at. The
walk became overcrowded, and with
out a moments warning two hundred
feet of IL fell to the sidewalk, twenty
feet below, carrying all who were on
1t. There were probably three thou
sand persons sitting in the left field
bleachers, and the roar made by the
falling timber created panic. In
stantly the spectators rose en- masse
and made a rush down the stand and
into the playing field. 1t was one
great black wave of humanity. Men
and boys climbed over one another ip.
their effort to escape from the ground
Not knowing what had occurred, theD
ball players and others tried to stop
the mad rush, but they were swept
aside in their unsuccessful efforts, and
several persons were hurt in the
crush.
Outside the scene was one Of hor-
ror. For an entire block on Fifteenth
street, from Huntington street to Lee
high avenue, men and boys were lying
writing in agony. Some were buried
under the wreckage, others stretched
out In Fifteenth street, on the car
tracks. Some lay unconscious, others
were rolling over, suffering great pain.
and others attempted to get up and
walk, only to fall again. The 10000
persons within the grounds left the
place and crowded about the injured.
Indescribable confusion reigned for a
time because of the great crowd.
1t is estimated that over hundred
persons who were slightly injured
went direct to their homes. An exam
nation of the walk after the wreck
showed many of the wooden supports
which extended three feet beyond the
walk to be rotten. They were about
two and half inches thick and about
six inches wide. They broke OF flush
with the wall.

statement OF the porte. however. the
authorities have succeeded in calming
the Albanians and inducing them to
return to their homes.
The diplomats here are uneasy. fear
ing that the trouble may spread out
side the bounds of Macedonia. So long
as the trouble is confined to the usual
skirmishing bands and occasional
dynamite outrages, It is not believed
that there will be any serious cause
for alarm.
Up to the present the action Of the

ing the porte to prevent the Mussel-
