A Hot Time In The Old Town.

From Saturday, July 1st until
Friday afternoon, July 9TH there
was not only a hot time IN the
"old town." but, everywhere else,
as well. Even the North Pole,
which is SAID to be an "orfel" big
lcicle, was nearly melted out Of
existence. Not within the mem.
ory of the oldest lnhabltant did
this section of Uncle Sans do
main have such a roasting as it
did last week. The mercury
played up IN the nlnetles day and
night, occasionally getting above
the hundred mark. During
much of the time there was
scarcely a "breath of air" and
there was general suffering of
man and beast. Friday after
noon, according to the Govern
ment forecast, clouds began to
arise back Of the Ridge, and at
2:30, rain began to fall, and IN
McConnellsburg there was
gentle fall Of rain during the re-
mainder of the afternoon and
evening. In other parts of the
county, the storm was somewhat
violent, accompanied IN some
places by much wind and hail.
The temperature dropped from
95 at 2:30 to 70 at 5 o'clock in the
evening, and on Saturday the
mercury did not get above So.

A Disastrous Storm.

A storm of unusual severity
passed over the lower part of the
county last Friday afternoon
leaving a trail of disaster in Its
wake. The hail IN some places
fell thlckly, and the great size of
the stones" leveled garden
truck, stripped leaves and small
branches from trees, and spread
terror every where. Perhaps
the worst sufferer was Alfred
Peck, living just west of Need.
more, whose barn was struck by
lightning and completely destroy
ed by fire, including all his gram,
2 wagons, new drill, - head of
sheep, one calf, 1 hog, all his har.
ness, and about 200 bushels of
wheat some clover seed, oats,
corn and hay, the entire loss estl.
mated at between $500 and
$1,000, with an insurance on barn
and contents amounting to S625.
Very shortly after striking
Mr.. Peck's barn, the lightning
hit job Truax's house, dong con
considerable damage by knock
ing down plastering, breaking
window glass, and SCATTERING a
tlue, his insurance, very FORUM
ately will cover his loss.
On the second day of August
1902, the lightning burned a barn
for Alfred Peck, which had been
built only four years proceeding
Its destruction, and a strange
feature of the loss sustained by
these two, is, az that time, as in
the present case, the lightning
first set hre to the barn, and a
few moments later visited Mr..
TruaX, and killed a valuable horse
for him.

Electrical Franks.

Between four aud five o'clock
last Friday afternoon, during a
thunder storm over on Pleasant
Ridge, lightning struck a tele-
phone pole near the postoffice,
knocked off the lnsulator, thence
into the phone in the postofiice,
going through the phone, and
burning a hole IN the wall, thence
tearing the plastering of, it ran
down to the floor, stopping long
enough to do up an brella and
scattered it around over the floor.
To get oct of the room into the
ground, it tore up a board IN the
floor. Fortunately there was no
one in the room at the time. A
short time afterward, several
persons in the home of H. II.
Strait were severely shocked.
Miss Louie Shlves who was there
at the time was rendered speech.
