High Wind Wrecks Property.

It is strange weather we're having this
spring summer season. AT
noon Saturday robins we're chirping chip
perly, the sun was shining radiently, and
the busy housewife had flung open the
doors to let in watts of zephyrs that were
blowing as softly as on May mornings. In
less than half an hour the heavans were
darkened with the most threatening
cloud imaginable, and in five minutes
more the storm which broke was as
fierce as any seen in this neck o'woods in
a decade. The storm was a strange mix
ture of thunder, lightning, hail, rain,
snow and wind. the velocity Of which
was something terrifying. Out on the
hills and open country much havoc was
wrought in the few minutes that the
hurricane lasted. A standard rig belong
ing to Charles Bower, who is drilling for
the Tionesta Gas. Co., out in the southern
end of the township, was so completely
demolished that the contractor had to
order a complete new rig A water tank
of considerable size WAS toppled over and
rolled clear across a ten-acr field aud did
not stop till il had encountered the woods
The foot bridge suspended over the Tio-
nesta creek at the Coleman Watson IL Co.
mill was stripped of its flooring and
hangings, leaving nothing but the cables
suspended on the piers. Up on Pigeon
Hill, Raymond Childs' dwelling house
was blown off its post foundation dis
tauce OF several feet, but remained up
right and was only slightly damaged, and
some dishes and clock were thrown to
the floor and demolished. Mr.. and Mrs.
Childs, the latter with the baby in her
arms, were standing at the door watching
proceedings when the heavy gust came,
and as they felt the building sway, leaped
out and escaped injury. Telephone wires
we're more or less interfered with but the
trouble from that source did not last long.
Other damage in this locality was doubt
less done by the storm but little has been
reported.
In less tLan half an hour after the storm
broke the sun was again shining, but the
atmosphere had changed and by night
fall the ground was fairly covered with
snow. And so it is that this is strange
winter weather.

SDecini bu United Press Wire.
Paterson, March 11.-Police
charged a parade of 1000 striking
weavers and dye workers today and
a free for all fight followed in which
the police used their clubs. The
strikers finally broke and ran after
a dozen of their number had been
arrested and rushed to the station.
The strikers declare what they were
putting into effect was peaceful mass
picketing tactics when the police
charged them This Chief Bimson
denied, saying that his men did not
interfere until the strikers had de-
clared their intention of raiding the
mills where work is still in progress
and driving the workers from the
looms.
Today's demonstration was in
charge of Carlo Treasos, one of the
organizers OF the |. w. w. He was
not among those arrested and as
soon as the police discovered this
Chief Bimson swore out warrant
for his arrest charging him with In

Wards LIKELY
/. IN WOODBRIDGE
Senator Ramsay Introduces
New Bill for township.

Steps have been taken, by intro
duction of Senate bill 266 last night,
to have Woodbridge Township di-
vided into wards. Senator William
&. Ramsay, of this city, introduced
the measure, which would make
mandatory the division of townships
into wards. 1t was referred to the
committee on boroughs and town
ships.
This action follows closely futile
effort made to have Woodbridge,
known as the richest township in
the state, divided into four wards.
The effort was upset upon the
ground that an amendment to an act
of April 80, 1906, providing for the
division of townships into wards
made the act so inconsistent that it
could only apply to townships hav-
ing more than 10000 population.
The Court of Errors and Appeals
gave an opinion reversing the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court and set
ting aside the proceedings for divid-
ing Woodbridge Township into
wads. Its population was less than
10000 when proceedings for the
division were started.

This was perhaps the most friend

might desire. The hospital board
selected seventy cases from the 100
applicants. From them Friedman
made his selection. Among those
treated was a young Canadian girl
