Two Families Have Narrow Escape.
A three-story house at No. 12O Ship
ley street was occupied by the families
OF Louis Berkowitz and Benjamin
Fisher. A heavy 10x12 girder blown
from the Hart building. after being
carried over several roofs. came down
end first through the top OF the house
and continued through each story un-
til the first floor was reached.
On the second floor Berkowitz was
sitting in a room with his sick wife and
child, when the heavy beam crashed
through the ceiling and floor down 10
the dining room below where Fisher;
his wife and four children were taking
supper. The huge piece Of timber af-
ter coming through struck a dresser
and bounded to the very feet Of the
frightened family. II is a remarkable
fact that TO one in the building was in
jured. The path of the girder was
easily distinguishable, as one could
stand on the first floor and look out
the hole it had made in the roof.
Streets Thronged With People.
The streets were soon filled with a
curious and frightened crowd, going
from one place to another where the
wind had played such havoc and sew
eral extra police were detailed to the
locality to prevent the crowds from
running into live wires and protect the
property from pillage Ropes were soon
secured and the places where the dam.

badly handicapped by the crowds

Two Large Works in the Direct Path
of the Storm.

The storm bore down upon the works
of the ]. Morton Poole Company after
passing from the Harlan and HOllings-
worth plant and wrung the roof from
the foundry and carried it away.
West Front street was then visited
by the tornado, the first place struck
being the hotel of James Nolan be-
tween Orange and Tatnall. The bar
was crowded, when, with a crunchins
noise, the roof was torn of.
Whole Story Blown Away.
When the wind struck the wholesale
grocery house OF the A. j. Hart Com
pany at Nos. 1O7 and 1O9 Market street
il took the entire fifth story from the
building. The rooms on this hoo1
were filled with merchandise. which
was scattered so widely that little OF

clerks ran into the street, thinking the
building would be demolished and hac

TROLLEY LINES SUFFER LEAST
Only One Road Forced to Suspend
Business.

The trolley lines in this city suffered
very little from the effects of the storm,
but the Newport branch of the Will
mington City Railway Company was
forced out of business. In the vicinity
of Fclly woods trees were blown across
the wires and trolley poles leveled to
the earth. The repair wagon was dis
patched to the scene, but the line was
not put I'm operation last night.
Morocco Factory Damaged.
The fierce wind played havoc with
the old Clerk morocco shop at Ninth
and Walnut streets. The structure was
badly damaged, but as it has not been
occupied for some time, the loss will
be confined to the property itself.
AS the wind swept down Lombard
street the barber shop of Walter r.
Coale, at Tenth and Lombard streets,
became a target for flying shutters, sec
tions of trees, parts of roofs and many
other objects. The occupants of the
shop, beside Coaie were Samuel Sobel,
a barber, and two patrons. Alexander
Bonner, of Fifteenth and French
streets, and Charles Huber, of No zoos
Lombard street. Each was more OF
less injured by flying missiles.
East Side Church Damaged.
The stating on the roof of EpwOrth
NJ. E. Church was ripped of, and for a
short interval filled the air. But few
houses between Ninth and Twelfth
streets escaped having shutters blown
off and windows shattered.

ENTERED BY BROWNToWN
Unroofed Many Houses and Caused
Reign Of Terror.

The storm entered the city by the way
of Browntown and several houses
around Ninth avenue and Duncan street
were unroofed.
While the storm was passing over the
city there was at least one man who
knew nothing of it. He was Patrick
Haney, at Seventh avenue and Duncan
street, who slept through the entire dis
urbance and was awakened later to
find that the mansard roof OF his
dwelling had been carried away.
Ten houses in Oak street, between
Brown and Wright streets, under con-
tract by Representative Connolly were
blown down.
Six occupied brick houses on Cedar
street, Nos. 305 to 3l5, were the scene
of a powerful demonstration Of the
storm. The corner house. No. 315
whose side is on Coleman street, and
therefore unprotected, had about one
half the second story blown away, as
cleanly as If some one had been en-
ployed to tear it down. Some inside
walls are intact. The Italian whose
home it was, bought the property re-
Gently and was paying for 1t on in
stallments. Other houses in this row
show shattered cornices or no corn
ices, uncovered roof grders, an upper
wall that threatens to fall to the street,
asd near them is some debris. These
houses are all occupied by Poles and
Italians. At No. 311, Louise Ross was
lying in bed covered up with blankets.
A falnng brick cut her on the head.
Excitement Was Tremendous.
A flying brick struck Mary klenski
Of No. S12 Wright street upon the
head.
The excitement in the neighborhood
was tremendous. Crowds Of people
were soon on the scene. The families
whose dwellings had been wrecked, be-
gan to move out their household goods
When the heavy wind was over some
furniture was returned to the houses.
Sergeant Massey and Officers Massey
and Hawke guarded household effects

as follows:
Last fall. just before the biennial

Sussex county said 20 her husband at
the breakfast table, "Jim. how much
are you going to set for your voter"
Il don't know that I'm going TO sell
my vote" replied the husband.
Il can't See she said. why you talk
like that: why shouldn't you sell IL?
We need the money bad enough. other
people sell theirs, and / don't see that
they're thought any the worse OF.
