Falling Tree Branch
Imprison Workmen in
Tool Box During Storm

Workmen employed on the opera
tians at Front and Mulberry streets
Saturday afternoon, scattered like
quail before the hunter when the hail
storm swept in, and two of their num-
ber seeking refuge in a tool box were
kept prisoners until the storm passed.
Ordinary showers are not permitted
to interfere with the work, although
the workers, most of whom are of
foreign birth, have a wholesome dis
like for 1t and a thorough fear of
lightning But when the hail began
to fall there was a break for cover,
and two of them. for the sake, as they
thought, of better safety, crawled into
tool chest and shut the lid. They
had scarcely gotten in when a huge
branch blowing from one of the trees
fell acress the box OF course none of
the workmen would venture out in the
pelting hail and the two workmen had
to remain in the sitting air I'm the box
until after the storm. Then the branch
was removed and the two men were
helped out of the box.

HAIL STORM CAUSES
HEAVY DAMAGES
Fruit and Truck Ruined; Houses
and Barns Struck; Poles
and Trees Down

Lightning, rain and hail swooped
down on this region Saturday after
noon. At $3.50 the rain began and
soon was falling in torrents. Sharp
bolts of lightning struck in close to
many houses. Several trees through
out the city were struck. A barn owned
by d. j. Shower near West Fairview
was burned down; several homes at
Camp Hill were struck; at the home
of Harvey Nissley a bolt tore a hole
through the roof; fruit throughout
this vicinity was damaged to the eX-
tent of thousands of dollars.
When the storm had been in prog
ress a short while hail formed, and
the electrical discharges ceased. Some
of the hail was as large as chestnuts
Considerable damage throughout the
county was done to grain and truck.
Combined weight of rain water and
hail broke in a skylight at Dives,
Pomeroy & Stewards store and let a
lot of water down on the first floor.
The greenhouse of 7. ]. Opperman at
Washington Heights was badly dam
aged, 500 panes of glass being broken.
Many panes throughout town went to
pieces under the hail. The wind blew
in a big window at Stevens Memorial
Methodist church. Telephone and tele-
graph wires went down in some parts,
although by this morning all but a
very little of the damage was repaired.
Hundreds of dead branches Uttered
the streets after the storm, especially
in the streets and walks around and
in Capitol Park. Flower beds in the
park, as we'll as in gardens through
out the city, were cut by the hail.
At Island Park 1900 crowded into
the grandstand to escape the fusillade
of hail. Right after McCarthy's steal
of home with the wining run the rain
broke. Then when the hail came the
players made 'snowballs' of it and
threw them at each other.
Lightning struck a brick chimney
at the home of Professor C. A Ellen
berger, 1907 Riverside drive, and shat
tered it, while at the some time all
the lights in the house went out. AT
Front and Division streets the wind
picked up a small office and carried it
across the street.

[Continued From First Page]

tContinued From First Page]
Row, a brother, Oliver, and a sister
Mrs. John Dinger. George Row, for
merly clerk to the Board of Poor Di-
rectors, was a brother.
Funeral arrangements have not been
definitely completed, but it is expect
ed that the services will be held Thurs
day at o'clock. to be followed by
burial in the cemetery at Wiconisco.
Mr.. Row was active in Masonic cir
cles, having been a member of Lykens
Lodge of Masons, the Patriotic Order
Sons of America, and the Modern
Woodmen, and it is probable that
these orders will be represented at the
funeral.
His Public Activities
Although Mr.. Row was widely
known throughout the upper end as a
school teacher and as a farmer, his
public life was a busy one practically
from the time he left Albright Col
lege. He was a member of the Leg
isature during the session of 1911 and
figured prominently in the advance
ment of legislation that aimed for the
betterment of the educational and
mining development of Dauphin coun-
ty. He was member of committees
on these subjects and took an espec-
tally active part in bringing about the
enactment of legislation into laws. He
was particularly active in aiding the
passage of bills pertaining to the pct
ter interests of Harrisburg.
While Mr.. Row, an active Republi-
can all his life, took big part in the
official life of the county, he was
equally well known as school teacher
and as a farmer For years he had
been practically in charge of the town
ship schools, while during the summer
months he devoted his time to his
farm near here.
Seized With Sunstroke
While working the roadways in this
section about six weeks ago, Mr.. Row
was seized by a sunstroke. He top
pied over in the highway and had to
be removed to his home. Since then
his condition, resulting from a general
nervous breakdown. had been steadily
growing worse. Saturday night how
ever, he rallied considerably and hope
for his ultimate recovery had been
entertained until 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. Then he took turn for the
worse, his death resulting at $50
o'clock this morning.

SAYS boon" WAS
To PROTECT BATHERS
independence Island Owner De-
clares .Rowdies Annoy Women
and Children

In letter to this paper to-day e. C.
Ensminger. who Saturday withdrew an
application for the construction of a
boom between independence and
Bailey Islands asserts that his pur-
pose in constructing the boom was to
protect the bathers from canoeists who
swarm down from the upper end. The
letter ends with a threat of action
against those who annoy swimmers in
the pool. Mr.. Ensminger says:
Editor Telegraph:
Sir-In answer to the article pub
fished in your Saturdays edition. con-
cerning the application l filed with the
Water Supply Commission to construct
a boom from Independence to Bailey s
Island at the upper end of the swim
ming pool in the Susquehanna river.
permit me to say that, in constructing
the boom, / was not actuated by any
desire to compel canoeists to pay for
the privilege of patroniZing the swim
ming pool. but solely for the purpose
of protecting the bathers. many of
whom are young women of refinement.
and children from annoyances and
insults from a class of canoeists who
made practice of entering the pool
and making insulting remarks to the
bathers. as we'll as endangering their
lives by indulging in impromptu boat
races and other acts of violence.
That the action of the respecta BILE
canoeists of Harrisburg in supporting
the indefensible conduct of these
young rowdies. who have the whole
river upon which to indulge their pro-
pensity and profane and obscene re-
marks. has encouraged them to not
only continue but increase their mis-
conduct, is a matter to be regretted by
all persons with a sense of decency
However. I propose taking most effect
i've means of taking care of the hathers
in the future, as any canoeist who
comes there with the intent to annoy
them will learn to his cost.
Respectfully yours.

the only door through which Austria
can with honor retreat from her posi-

can without loss of dignity bow his
head to the Supreme Pontiff.
Dispatches from Vienna say that

HILL RESIDENTS To
ASK BETTER SEWER
FACILITIES AGAIN
Old Question of Inefficient Drain
age Re-Opened by 18th
St. Folks

Allison Hill residents whose prop
critics are drained by the sewer that
extends in Eighteenth street between
Park and Walnut and empties into the
Market street drain are again demand
ing better and larger drainage ia
cilities
Preliminary steps TO present this
several years old complaint to City
Council were taken to-day when a
committee of interested residents and
property owners called to discuss 1t
with City Commissioner w. II. Lynch,
superintendent of streets and public
improvements.
For the last several years the people
in that vicinity have complained, de-
claring that the 1S-inch section which
leads northward from Park and the
20-inch section that leads down frcm
Walnut are not big enough to supply
the necessary drainage facilities. These
all connect with the Market street
sewer. The Eighteen street pipe is
entirely too small, the complaining
residents say, for every time it rains
very heavily cellars all along the street
are filled with couple of inches of
water.
Commissioner Lynch said that the
change asked for will cost consid-
cradle money. This fact and the fact
that perhaps the plumbing regulations
in installing plumbing in the houses
had not been properly complied with
are questions that he intends to con-
slider before taking any definite action
in the matter. He said he did not
know whether or not he would bring
the question before Council tomorrow
In To-morrOw's Session
Councils session tomorrow will
likely be more or less brief, as there is
little to occupy the commissioners eX-
,ccpt the passage of the ordinance au-
fhorizing the appropriation of S1,S40
for office supplies. equipment. etc, of
the City Planning Commission.
Whether or not the ordinance grant
ing the Valley Railways Company right
of way for additional car tracks in
Market street will be offered to-mor-
row is problematical. although it is
believed that this measure will not go
in tomorrow.
In order to avoid unnecessary de-
lay after the contract for hauling earth
from the Second street subway to fill
in along the river front has been let.
the city park department to-day sub
mitted to the State Water Supply Com
mission the plans for the treating of
the emhankment. Bids for hauling
the fill will be opened August 8.
