IN THE STORMS PATH
Aftermath of Recent Damage Done
by Lightning in Wayne and Ad-
Joining Counties.

On Tuesday afternoon last the
store owned by w. f. Bennett at She
hawken, Pa, was badly damaged by
fire. The fire was caused by light
ming during an electrical storm
which passed over that section
about 2:15 p. IN.
A telephone pole near the store
was struck, and the electrical cur
rent followed the wire into the
store, and before the flames could be
extinguished the southwest corner
of the building, which is a two-story
structure, was burned, together with
the stock of general merchandise in
that part of the building. The bal
ance of the stock was damaged by
smoke and water, entailing loss Of
$500.
The loss is covered by insurance
in the Wayne County Farmers In
surance Co. and the German Ameri-
can Insurance Co.
In the store at the time the fire
started were Mrs. Bennett, Miss Iva
Haubr and two travelling men. They,
with the assistance of those living in
the neighborhood, after hard fight,
succeeded in saving the building. At
the time Mr.. Bennett had gone to
Autumn Leaves on business.
Horton McGargle, of South Ca
naan, suffered the loss of five good
cows in a thunder storm that passed
over southern Wayne county one day
last week, Mr.. McGargle greatly
feels the loss of his herd. He has
been unfortunate of late, sickness
having entered his home and af-
flicted several of his children. He
has the sympathy of the community
in his loss.

any ambitious boy with very little ex-
penditure outside of his own work.
Then a small outlay for eggs or a
trifie larger one for stock, and he Is
ready for business.
The most important consideration
is the breed to be kept. 1t all depends
upon the market which will pay the
best. The layers are seldom as good
for raising, frying and broiling as
some of the larger breeds, as they
usually weigh less at the same age,
though maturing even more quickly in
the matter of reproducing.
So, if you wish to keep Wyan-
dottes, Leghorns, or Orpingtons or
Rhode Island Reds, you will be per-
fectly safe in doing so, no matter
what some one else may say in favor
of other breeds.

RICHMOND TO HAVE
IMMENSE STADIUM
FOROUTLAW LEAGUE
Will Be Built of Steel and
Concrete in Latest
Style.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 5.-Richmond
is to have a steel and concrete stadium
second to none in the country. suitable
of taking care of any kind of games
and of sufficient seating capacity TO
take care Of all kinds of crowds. 1t will
be built on the site secured for the ball
grounds of the Richmond team In the
United States League and will be
known as Lee Park.
These plans have been discussed for
several weeks. but the men interested
did not feel that they were entitled to
give out any information until some
thing definite had been learned as to
the cost and drawings secured. The
announcement came from Leroy +.
Brown, vice president of the Richmond
Baseball Corporation. The entire mat
ter has been threshed out by Mr.. Brown
and his associates. The need for such
a stadium was at all times apparent,
but 1t was a question as to the advis-
ability of building one at this time.
One of the men interested in the local
club in the United States League-a
Richmond man, by the way-is thorough
ly Versed in steel and concrete construC-
ton. He it was who first suggested the
idea. Then everybody got together, with
the result already announced. Contrary
to the reports emanating from sources
not any too friendly to the new enter
prise, the company controlling the Rich
mond franchise in the new league is
close corporation. Stock is not being
peddled, nor will any be peddled. The

they may be interested in.
