Freaks of the Storm.
A number of thrilling occurrences
and strange experiences are reported
by survivors of the storm.
On the Edwards plantation two
| grown negroes were blown half a
mile across a field to a swamp. Meth
Ell knew the other was there until
they came across each other after
the storm subsidized, and neither
knew how he got there, as they were
asleep when the cyclone struck them
and hurled them through space. One
of them had a severe snag in his
side.
On the Bridges plantation a search
for a missing negro child after the
storm had passed resulted in her be-
ing found wrapped in a quilt and
peacefully sleeping under the tim
bers of one of the houses that had
been blown down. She was blissful-
ly ignorant of what had occurred,
and on being awakened and seeing
on every side the disaster that had
taken place was so badly frightened
that she had to be held to prevent
| her from running away.
1t is not known whether the child
who was found dead on this farm
was killed or drowned Indications
are that it was the latter, as nc
bruises that seemed severe enough
! to cause her death were found on
her body.
Aid for the UnfOrtunateS,

hundred or two negroes on the
Inflated farms homeless and desti-
tute, their clothing and household
effects having been blown away along

and there were many liberal and
cheerful responses. The owners OF

Winter Wheat o. X.

Harrisburg. - Reports received at
the state department of agriculture
from wheat growing sections of the
state indicate that the snowfall dur
ing the past ten days was so general
that the cold wave caused compara-
lively little damage to the winter
wheat. In the southern and central
counties the fall was from two to
four inches and the fields were well
covered before the temperature fell.
Practically all Of the wheat sown
in Pennsylvania is winter wheat and
last year 1,2S9,OOO acres were planted,
the yield being 17,4OO,0OO bushels in
round numbers. The acreage sown
this season will probably not run as
high as last owing to the wet weather
which occurred about the time farm.

Der of counties the sowing was so

PEST VICTIMS LIE THERE
Grave Of Five Who Died Of Smallpox
In 1911 Found In BeIlerlea,
Mass.

Closely adjoining the site Of the
Boston & Maine car shops in Billerica,
the surveyors discovered gravestone
marking the spot where 100 years ago
five persons, victims of smallpox, were
buried.
The stone is still in good condition,
although mossy with age. The foot
stone as well as the headstone ia
solid, giving evidence Of careful work
on the part Of the ones who placed II
there.
The grave was evidently chosen
century ago as secluded spot, and
when found trees, underbrush and
shrubbery nearly hid 1t from sight.
The words on this headstone are:
Erected in memory OF and to desig.
nate the place where Asa Grost, Jr.,
Levi Frost, Eleanor Farmer, Sarah
Hodgman and Samuel Batchelder
were buried, who died Of smallpox,
August, 1911.
At first the Boston & Maine con-
sidered. getting the consent OF the
state to remove the stone and the
dust Of the bodies, but It has been de-
cided to let the grave remain where
it is.
So these five persons will rest
where they are and their bed Of the
last century will not be disturbed. No
relative of the ones buried seem at
all concerned about the grave and II
is doubtful If any descendants OF
them are living in Billerica or Lowell
at the present time.

Lawrence, Mass.-The new 54-hour
hour law enacted by the last Legisla.
ture at the instance of the labor un-
ions prohibiting the employment Of
women and children in the mills and
factories of Massachusetts for more
than "a hours in a week, was the
cause of wild outbreak in this city.
A riot call was sounded, women
were knocked down and trampled
upon, heads were clubbed, much dam.
age was done to machinery, five per-
sons were arrested for melting to riot
and 10000 operatives left their work
either from inclination or by compul-
sion.
The mill district of this city resem-
bled an armed camp, following the
riotous outbreak.
Before the trouble ended several
persons had been severely injured,
number of girl operatives had tainted
and six arrests had been made. The
mill agents found that so many opera
tives had quit work through fear Of
the angry strikers that it was decided
to shut down the Wood and Aver
mills. The Washington mills and
those of the Lawrence Duck Company,
to which the disturbance extended,
were kept in operation, although 500
operatives at the Washington mills
and 400 at the duck mills struck AS
the Wood mill, the largest worsted
plant in the world, employs 5000
hands and the Aver mill $500, nearly
1000 opratives became idle.
In the Washington mills there was
an indiscriminate hurting of bobbins
and shuttles. Della Clark, an opera
tive, was badly cut by shuttle and
Overseers John Blodgett and Thomas
Begin were hit on the head and seri.
ously cut.
Considerable damage was done to
mill property. In the Aver mills the
mob broke down an iron gate. Inside
the Wood mills the rioters cut many
pulleys, opened the sprinklers and did
other damage to the machinery.
Practically all the windows on one
side Of the Lawrence Duck Company's
mills were smashed by bricks and
Jumps of ice hurled by the mob, which
made its last stand there. Although
they had threatened to march on the
big cotton mills of the Pacific Ger.

persed by the police before reaching
that point.
Five hundred weavers and spinners
in the Everett and Arlington cotton
mills joined the strikers in the after
noon, and the feeling was general
that the strike would involve $4,000 !
mill workers in the city.

BRYAN'S ROUT
DUE TO M 'GRAW
His Motion Kept GuffeyyOn Ma
tiOnaI Committee
CLOSE FRIENDS FOR YEARS
West Virginia Said to Favor Wilson's
Nomination for President.
Helped Choose Baltimore
as Convention City.

Grafton, w. Va.-That Colonel John
T. McGraw of this city, Democratic
national committeeman was not re.
tired from activity IN the Democratic
politics OF this state when he was de
teated for the United States Senate
last winter, was amply demonstrated
at the meeting OF the Democratic ma
tional committee at Washington last
week when he successfully routed no
less a parsonage than Co.onel Will
lam j. Bryan.
Although a stanch friend of the
Nebraskan, whom he supported loyal
ly thee times when candidate for
President, Colonel McGraw believed
that the CommOner was in the wrong
when he attempted to oust CoIonel
James Guney OF Pennsylvania from
the national cOmmlJJce, and it was
on the motion of the West Virginian
that the night OF Gudey TO seat on
the committee was sustained.
National Committeeman McGraw
and the Pennsylvania Democratic
leader have been personal friends
and business associates for long
number OF years. They have leu
their parties in two Republican states
and fought together under adverse
conditions.
Returning Democrats say it was
the eloquence Of MCGraw before the
national committee appealing for his
friend, Quincy, that reused Colonel
Bryan to maze the vehement speech
in which the Pennsylvania committee
man was attacked unmerclully. Ana
the national committee sustained Nc
Graw by a vote OF 80 to Is.
Colonel McGraw also was leader
in the fight 10 take the Democratic
national convention to Baltimore. a
month before the meeting he prom
ised to support Baltimore, and at
Washington he had charge OF the con
test which resulted in the selection
of that city by the proximity of the
Maryland metropolis to West Virginia,
where hundreds OF West Virginia
Democrats can attend the convention.
While in attendance at the Wash

nomination of WOODROW wilson for
President and conducted large mum
