BURNS IN STORM

with redoubled intensity. During the
first storm, which lasted forty-five
minutes. 80 inches of rain fell, while
during the second downpour, which
continued for an hour and twenty
minutes. 1.S7 inches of rain fell. The
total rainfall was 2.29 inches during
a little more than two hours.
Furious Wind Causes Heavy Losses
A furious wind accompanied the
storm and the damage resulting was
due as much to the gale as to the
lightning. The air seemed to be sur
charged with electricity. Lights were
blown out, trolley cars were stalled
when fuses went, wires were blown
down, and a general Generalization
resulted in electric utilities. This
morning repairmen and linesmen were
busy setting things to rights
Lightning knocked a hole through
the roof of the Enola Y. NJ. c. A. and
rain flooding through the hole did
considerable damage. The Enola res
taurant was struck by lightning. The
bolt went into the kitchen and started
q blaze. Slight damage resulted, but

Barns Burned
Three barns in Cumberland county
were destroyed, the blaze being visible
to residents across the river A barn
on Hogentogler's farm near Enola was
burned down, and a loss of $4,000
resulted. All the grain harvested this
year was consumed. Several horses
and cows perished in the blaze. Elec-
trio bolts struck many trees through
out the town, splintering huge
branches, and the wind completed the
destruction, casting them long dis
tances and littering the streets and
pavements. An electric bolt struck
the roof of Jeraulds shoe store at $40
Market street and tore away the tin,
permitting the water to enter the
upper floor.
Havoc in the Suburbs
Throughout the suburbs the wind
and lightning played havoc over a
wide area. Probably windswept Pax
tonia suffered worst. In addition to
the burning of the Berryhill Nursery,
the barn of the Paxtonia Hotel and
part of the hotel were blown down,
while Ffshburns warehouse went
over in the gale. A stable and an
other house also We're partly demol-
ished.
At Camp Hill a double chimney in
the home of Adam Egolf was struck
and its shattered pieces crashed
through the roof. The homes of Enos
Smith and Harry Evinger, at Duncan
non, were struck by lightning
Feed Wire Ablaze
The home of George Hetrick, near
Penbrook. was struck twice, the first
bolt tearing away the chimney and
the second tearing out window sashes
and breaking several windows in the
house. The feed wire of the Harris
burg Light and Power Company at
Penbrook was struck and blazed for

extent of its ability. 1t will not sus-

signed to seduce the Democracy of

movement to almost Immediately

ministration and return the country

Roosevelt, his immediate successor,
and all of his Republican predeces-
sores in control of the government at
Washington.
mo Democratic candidate, no rep
resentative of a Democratic commit
tee, can consent to a commitment of
the Democracy of Pennsylvania to this
plan without raising in the minds of
other Democrats questions of the sim
cerity of his professions of devotion
to the cause of Democracy.
THE Democratic ticket can be elect
ed upon a platform devoted to the
principles of Democracy and the
record of achievements of the Wilson
Administration 1t will have less
show of success if it's candidates, or
any of the leaders of the party, enter
into any deal with the defamers of
Democracy and the most unfair Of
President Wilson's critics as repre-
sented by the Washington party. in
Pennsylvania and its national leader,
Theodore Roosevelt.
THE recent primary contest in
Pennsylvania has not been forgotten.
Democratic factions contending for
the several party nominations were
almost equally divided, and there are
many factional wounds of that bitter
contest yet unhealed. We have won
dered why the victors have not taken
the necessary steps which good judg-
ment and proper zeal for Democratic
success have suggested to heal
these wounds. If it was because there
was a secret deal on between Demo-
cratic leaders and Bull Moose leaders
in the interests of this proposed i'm
possible fusion arrangement, we hope
better judgment will suggest an i'm
mediate change of front. Such deal,
carried out, will again further divide
the Democratic factions, and there
will be renewed whetting of knives by
belligerents who in the interests of
Democracy ought to be working in
harmony.
"It is futile to hope for this Demo-
cratic harmony, without which none
of the Democratic candidates for State
offices can be elected, and in the abb
sence of which the Democratic repre-
sentation from Pennsylvania in Con-
gress will be much reduced, except
through appeal to the party loyalty of
Pennsylvania Democrats. If we are
to succeed it must be upon the broad
platform of united devotion to the
Administration of President Wilson.
On that issue the Pennsylvania DEM
ocrats of all factions are united, and
can be counted to fight together
against the common enemy as repre-
sented by both wings of the Republi-
can party. If the issue is changed it
will be at the sacrifice of principle"

Fifteen women, who were seated on

luge of rain, at o'clock en- Thursday
evening put an unexpected end to the
greatest day in the history of the Leb-
anon Valley Fair While fully two
thirds of a crowd of $4,000 people
were still on the grounds, the storm
broke over the place unexpectedly,
and pandemonium broke loose. With
the grandstand affording partial shell
ter to only 5000 or 5000 people, the
others crowded into tents of takers,
exposition buildings and other tenn
porary quarters. and when the storm
was at its height, some of the tents
were blown over, frightening women
into Mysteries and creating disorder
of the widest kind.
On the midway of the fair, electric
lights had been strung on frame pill
lars, and when these blew over the
wires came into contact with the
water, creating a grave danger to pc
