HEAVY Gao Hits Washington.


A ter. ifc wind, rain and hailstorm
swept Washington, paralyzing tele'
phone and street car service and doing
much property damage.
Scores of vehicles were overturned
In the streets. Two fatalities and many
narrow escapes have been reported.
Walter Z. Hilton, vice presidetn OF
g. zeal estate company, and one unidsn-
tilted man were killed III the collapse
of building.
Four painters working on swinging
scaffo!d atop the dome Of the capitol
were caught there in the gale, more
than $50 feet above the ground. AS
the storm abated rescue parties went
IL their aid.
AS the storm cleared, reports Of
houses unroofed and demolished began
to trickle irko police headquarters, but
without definite information OF loss OF
life or injury. It seemed that the prop
crty loss at least would lie large.
The pension office, postoffice anr
other government buildings had larg'
holes torn in their roofs by lightning.
The capitol grounds and others OF
the city's parks looked as If some
giant reaper had stalked through, cut
ting down trees In the wet grasses
lay thousands of birds killed by the
hailstones. Motor cars, left unguarded
III the streets, were overturned and
demolished like toys; horses, terrified
by the pelting of the hail and the
shrieking of the wind, dashed driver
less through the streets until COLI
sion with some other fleeing thing
stopped them.

SG50,0OO FIRE LOSS
Mach|aefy Plant, GrIst Mill and
Two Dwellings Burned.

A fire entailing loss estimated al
S650,000 destroyed the entire plant OF
the Flory Manufacturing company, ex
cept one small brick building, the grisl
mill and grain elevator of the Flory
Milling company, and two dwelling
houses, in bangor, Pa.
Nearly $40 men are thrown out Of
employment by the fire and patterns
OF great value, some of which persaps
cannot be replaced were destroyed IL
the blaze.
When the fire was discovered it had
gained great Roadway. All the fire
companies in the town were on the
scene in rema kably short time, and
one from Easton later, but their ef-
forts were OF no avail, and the flames
burned themselves out. Several fire
men and others were slightly burned.
A rigid investigation was started
into the cause OF the fire, which Is
supposed to have been Of incendiary
origin. The district attorney will as
sist in the investigation and has sen:
the county detective with instructions
tn aid.
The Flory Milling company's mill
and elevator contained about 100000
worth OF new and old wheat, just re-
ceived, and large quantity OF -four.
The loss OF the Flory Manufacturing
company is 100000 and that of the
milling company 100000. The insur,
ance carried by the two concerns was
s21 5000 and $4,000 respectively.
The two dwelling houses destroyed
belonged to the Achenbach estate, and
were occupied by the families OF John
Hoskln and Hugh Norris They saved
their furniture. The houses were val
ued at $4,000 each.
Three freight cars, standing on the
siding were burned. Two OF these
cars, containing grain, belonged to
the Lackawanna railroad, and the
third was a Lehigh & New England
car, loaded with mining machinery, al
ready for shipment.

Rare Jewels of New York Summer
Visitors at Resort Are Strangely
Missing.
The theft Of jewels worth S277,O0O
is acknowledged by members OF the
millionaire cottage colony at Nara,
gansett Pier, r. |.
The gang of expert burglars that
looted proftably in 1911 is believed to
be again at work.
The loss of MIS-. John H. Hanan,
on Friday, is admitted to be fully SloO,'
GG0 Mrs. Charles c. Rumsey, daughter
OK the late L. II. Hartman, lost two
pDarl necklaces worth $4,000 and
$4,000, other jewels worth $4,000
and en ancient Greek coin said to be
yary valuable.
Tne best detective genius available
is matching wits with the expert
crooks who took the $277,0OO worth OF
gems almost under the nose OF the
summer colony. Rival agencies with in
ternational regulations as thief get;ers
have been engaged by Mrs. Rumsey
and Mrs. nanan Every pier on Nara
gansett Bay is being watched n the
belief that the thieves, operating aa
gentlemen, are sauntering about the
fashionable hotels looking for an op'
portunity to leave town without exclt
ing suspicion. Thus far not tangible
clue has been found.
Mrs. Hanan's jewels were stolen
from her room during an absence OF
not more than twenty minutes OF a
maid. The gems lost by Mrs. Rumsey
were removed from her sleeping room
while she was out.
Reports that the Hanans had been
robbed were denied until Wednesday
when Mrs Hanan told Of their loss
Mr.. Hanan Is seriously Ill and has
been kept in ignorance OF the robbery
An unwillingness to disturb him In
fluenced his wife to withhold the facts
The articles taken included a dia
mcnd necklace, a pearl necklace, two
diamond encrusted watches, set OF
star sapphires surrounded by dia
monds, a pendant, brooch and pail
Of rare black diamond earrings sur
rounded by white diamonds.
A peculiar feature of the robbery
was that some particularly valuable
gems were left in the bureau drawer
from which the others were removed
They could hardly have been overlook
ed, and this suggests that the job was
a hurried one.
Mrs. Hanan seldom wears the jew
els and would not ordinarily have had
them at "Shore Acres" They had been
brought over from New York at time
when she had expected to give heJ
annual reception to Governor and Mrs
Pothier. The illness of Mr.. Hanan had
made it necessary to cancel the func
ton.
Mrs Hanan said that the domestics
of whom there are about twenty-five
had been eliminated in the investiga
ton. With the exception of two but
lers, engaged this year, all of those
employed at "Shore Acres have ben
with the family for years. A theory ct
motorboat thieves also has been dis
missed, as the shore Of Block lSllnd
Sound. over which the house locks

great difficulty in landing anywhere
