The house of f. H. Kilbey, situated

Mr. Kilbey and his family were in
the building when the disaster occurred
and miraculously escaped fatal injury.
Mrs. Kilbey was slightly burned, a
child suffering like injuries while Mr..
Kilbey had his shoulder slightly injur-

room from where his parents were was
uninjured and slept through the dis

warning a whirlstorm struck the house
tore it from its foundations and slam

The occupants were thrown about the
room, The stove broke in two and a
part of it pinned Mrs. Kilbey to the
floor and hot water from a kettle scald-

the room and injured by striking one
Of the kitchen posts. A little boy was
also burned by coming in contact with
the stove. Not hearing a sound from
an adjoining room where another child
slept Mrs. Kilbey became hysterical
thinking that the child had been killed.
Mr.. Kilbey broke into the room how
ever and found that the child was I'M
injured.
Mrs. Kilbey and the children were
taken in and cared for by neighbors.
The house will have to be completely

LAKE GEORGES
, BOTTOM SINKS
DEEP WATER WHERE FORMER
LY THERE WERE DANGEROUS
SWALLOWS.

GLEN FALLS, (N. ", December Is.
"A strange geological disturbance has
occurred near Hague, Warren county,
at the north end IF Lake George. Here
the bottom of the lake for an area of
1000 square feet has sunk. The spot
has long been regarded as dangerous
to navigation because of the shallow
ness of the water, which was never
more than three or four feet deep. To-
day the lake at this point is over
thirty feet deep, the bottom having
sunk away.
A coal barge had gone aground on a
reef and efforts to dislodge it failed,
Suddenly the boat moved away with
the current and investigation revealed
the strange disturbance. No other part
of the lake so far as is known has
been affected. The disturbance &C.
CURED on the shore near the mines OF
the American Graphite Company.
