A OBSTRUCTIVE WIND
AND DELUGE.
HAIL HITS TOBACCO CROP
GAINESVILLE, Beloit and Madison Light
Plants Are Put Out of Commission
and lnterurban Traffic Halted
Small Buildings Blown Over.

esville.-Thousands of dollars
worth of damage was done to growing
crops in Rock county by storm which
swept over this section of the state
For half hour the city was in en-
tire darkness until lights were turned
on owing to the intense blacknesS of
the clouds. The main streets of the
city were impossible during the fury
or the storm, running perfect rivers
several feet deep down the side hills.
Hail ruined thousands of dollars worth
OF tobacco and corn, and the wind
blew down windmills, tobacco sheds
and unroofed houses. All interurban
traffic was suspended
Madison.-A heavy wind, hail and
rain storm struck Madison and vicinity
lasting nearly an hour and doing
much damage to property Small
buildings were blown over, trees
blown down, street car traffic stopped
and telephone and telegraph lines put
out Of commission. The wind blew
at fOrty-five miles an hour and nearly
an inch and a half Of water fell. The
hail and heavy rain did thousands Of
dollars in damage to tobacco and 9th
er growing crops
Beloit.-High winds, much rain and
heavy hail were part of great storm
which struck this city. Much dam
age was done to the growing crops
and by the lightning, which struck re-
peatedly in this city and vicinity. The
storm was preceded by a period of
intense darkness. In the midst of the
storm all of the electric lights and
street cars went out Of commission,
while many of the telegraph and tele-
phone wires were blown down.

RIOTERS STILL CONTINUE
BIG REIGN OF TERROR
effective-Demand Gladstone's
Recall.

johannesburg, July s. The settle
ment of the strike among the gold
miners in the Rand district, which the
government arranged with commit
tee of strikers, has proved ineffective.
. The mobs reassembled late Sunday.
All trains and street cars suspended
service, the crews refusing to work.
No newspapers were able to issue edl-
tons Additional troops guarded the
Rand club, the scene of serious encoun-
ters Saturday. A great mob assembled
there, hooting and jeering the troops.
Up to midnight there had been no
serious trouble, but armed police
everywhere were guarding property.
The recall of the governor general
of the Union of South Africa, V1Scount
Gladstone, is demanded by the FEEDER
ated Trades Unions. At a meeting of
the federation at Pretoria attended by
1900 delegates it was unanimously re-
solved to petition the imperial govern
ment to take this action because the
governor general employed troops to
suppress the strike.
The opinion is very general that the
government has made serious blunders
throughout the present trying situa-
ton. When Gen. Louis Botha, the ex-
premier of the Union of South Africa,
and General SHUTS, minister of the in
terror, mines and defense, arrived at
johannesburg they were amazed at
the strikers organization and the des-
perate spirit of the leaders.
The federated unions are flushed
with success and confident that they
are complete masters Of the situation.

REPORT SHOWS DISCREPANCY
Receivers Are Appointed for 73,oOO,-

Adoo Treasures Financiers

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 9.-As a result
of the suspension of the First-Second
National bank of Pittsburgh Monday,
one of the largest institutions in the
country, of which W. S. Kuhn\i is presi-
dent. the government may start Grim
lnai prosecution. The bank had
more than $3O,O0O,OO0 in deposits.
The circumstances on which the
probable prosecutions are based is the
discrepancy of nearly 100000 be-
tween the sworn report to the comp
troIler of the currency as to the
banks condition on June 4 and what
should have been a true copy of this
report published in the Pittsburgh
newspapers.
The report to the comptroller
showed assets and liabilities aggregaC-
ing $39,997 ,347.10 each, while as given
10 the Pittsburgh newspapers for pub
iication the report placed these totals
at $38 1913, 1868, the 1888, 46O.71 diff
ference representa- rediscounts or
borrowed money Omctals declare that
this was illegal.
The closing of the First-Second
bank was followed by action in rapid
series against various other interests
with which the Kuhns are ldentlhed
During the day there was run on the
Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, large
institution, of which J. S. Kuhn is
president Then came the closing or
the First National bank of Mckees-
port. an adjacent city, which is closely
allied to the First-Second of Pitts
burgh Soon afterwards a receiver
was appointed for the banking house

Greatest of all disasters in this ire
mendOus financial crash, however, was
the receivership for the American Wa
terworks and Guarantee company, the
largest concern of it's kind in the
country, of which J. s. Kuhn is presI-
dent This corporation controls water
works plants in about eighty cities and
towns in the United States. and the
capital stock of the various con-
trolled companies approXimates $751;
900 900.
The one consoling feature of the sit
aation was a reassuring statement
sent out from Washington by Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, in which
ae declared that the general banking

BULGARIAN AND SERB
WAR LOSSES ARE BIG
Sercus-BIoodies of Balkan
Battles

London, July 8.-After ten days of
deadly fighting the number of kill
ed and disabled in the Balkan strug-
gle was Sunday estimated between 3d.
900 and 100000 This estimate is said
to be conservative.
The Servians have lost more men
than in the whole previous campaign,
and semi-official statements issued at
Belgrade have the appearance of an
intention to prepare the public for
news Of dsaste
A Belgrade dispatch, describing the
five days operations between Vardar
and Kwivolak, says that after holding
greatly superior force in check the
Servians were obliged to retire. Thus
Krivolak fell into the hands Of the
Bulgarians.
Another semi-official communication
says the Servians lost $4,000 killed
and wounded and the Buigarians TO-
900.
There Is heavy fighting also be-
tween the Servians and Bulgarians to
the south of Istip and in the neigh
borhooG of Kotchana. About 100000
men are engaged and the losses on
both sides are engaged to be terrible.
Desperate fighting, with tiuctuating
fortunes, is proceeding along the Var
dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which
which seems to be in favor Of the
Bulgarians.
Bulgaria's strategy appears to be
to hold the Greeks in check probably
with comparatively small forces. while
she deals with Servia. This assump-
ton, if correct, would explain the vic
torious advance Of the Greek army.

now put to in making such frequent trips TO
New Brunswick, often losing whole day for
an hour or two Of work,
1t has been said that branch court house
here will be Of little use as far as saving per-
sons from the long ride to New Brunswick is
concerned, because most Of the trips are made
to search records and that in order to really
accommodate the people in this section Of the
county there should be duplicate records kept
on file here. While there is no doubt that
many trips are made to New Brunswick to
search titles, this is done practically by law
yers who are paid for just that thing. 1t is to
save the business men who are summoned for
jury duty and the many witnesses who are
forced to attend trials that the branch court
house is desired.
The large number Of these men who are
forced to go to New Brunswick and frequently,
sit a whole day without being called upon at
all, only to be compelled to return the next
day at an enormous loss in their personal af
fairs warrants the agitation for the branch
court house here. With the petitions that are
now in circulation we believe the freeholders
will be led to realize the public sentiment that
is back of the agitation and will make some eff
fort to accommodate the people living in this
section.
But it is not only for the people of this sec
tion that the appeal is made, 1t has already
been shown that Perth Amboy is much more
accessible to ine-tenths of the towns in the
county than is New Brunswick. This includes
the towns as far as Cranbury to the south and
South Plainield and Dunellen to the north.
The people can come from any of these towns
direct by rail to Perth Amboy, whereas much
changing and many Inconvenience are neces-
sary in order to reach New Brunswick.

the law now in force in New York, prohibiting
