ELECTRICAL STORM
LASTS EIGHT HOURS
Rain, Wind And Lightning Destruc-
tive to Somerset County.

Princess Anne, Md, Aug. "a
Somerset county was visited last
night by the worst thunderstorm of
the season. 1t continued from 8
o'clock in the evening until o'clock
this morning. The storm was gen.
eral throughout the county, but the
principal damage done was along the
water courses, where the rain was
heaviest and the wind the hardest.
At Deals Island the rainfall was
accompanied by strong gust of
wind and vivid lightning. The B., c.
and A. steamer Virginia, which was
at the wharf, was torn from her
mooring and drifted into the Sound,
where she anchored until the storm
abated. A house was struck by the
lightning and considerable damage
done to the dwelling, although no
one was injured. Considerable dam
age was done to boats.
The storm reached its greatest
height along the Pocomoke river,
around Rehoboth. A torrent of rain
fell in that vicinity. At Marion Sta
ton a negro, Robert Hall, was struck
by lightning and killed. Heavy dam
age was done to corn and tomato
crops. The corn was beaten to the
ground in many places. The rain was
not SO heavy around Princess Anne,
and no great damage was reported.

TRAIN STRIKES AUTO
and FIVE ARE KILLED
Four Are Seriously Injured at State
Road Crossing, Near Berlin-John
CULLEN, Wife, Two Children And
Chauffeur Dead.

Berlin, Md, Aug. 22.-Five per,
sons were killed and four injured
when the Pennsylvania 9 o'clock
train struck the car of John CULLEN,
at the State road crossing, about a
half-mile from Berlin, tonight.
The dead are John CULLEN, his
wife and two children, Bernard, 8
years old, and Norman, aged three,
and Henry Predeau, the colored
chauffeur
The injured are the oldest daugh-
ter of the CULLEN family, with a
broken thigh and internal injuries;
another daughter, about TO-; a son,
six years old, and daughter of
four, both with fractured skulls and
serious internal injuries, as well as
many bones broken. The last two
are not expected to recover.
The car, driven by Predeau, in
which CULLEN and his wife and six
children were riding, had stopped at
a soda fountain 10 minutes before
the accident, and CULLEN had pur-
chased ice cream cones for the fami-
ly. They had driven to the Berlin
ice plant, and, after driving around
the building, turned again on the
Ocean City road toward home. The
distance to the railroad crossing, af-
ter this turn, is about 200 yards. Dr.
H. S. Purnell, of Berlin, came along
in his car at that time and was fol-
| lowing the CULLEN car at a distance
of about so yards.
DR.. Purnell stated that he heard
the train coming before he noticed
that the CULLEN car was in danger.
"Quillen's car" he said, slowed
down, and I did so, too, because
knew that the train must pass before
l could cross the tracks.
81 suppose that the car ahead of
me had crossed the track and slow
ed down. The car driven by Pre-
deau stopped suddenly, and at that
moment the train rushed upon it.
The car was swept upon the pilot
and carried down the tracks. A
strange feature of the accident was
that, though the car was struck
squarely in the middle and carried
along ahead of the engine for over
| 200 yards before the train could be
stopped, not one of the nine passen-
gers fell from the wreck until it was
brought to a Standstill.'
At the point where the accident
happened, the concrete State road
crosses the tracks nearly at right
angles. The train struck the car
from the right side, where Predeau
sat. There is no obstruction on the
road to have prevented the driver
from seeing the train approach. The
engineer stated that the bell of the
locomotive was ringing and that the
Whistle was sounded for the crossing.
1t would appear that the driver
thought he had time to make the
crossing, then seeing that it was too
late, but not realizing that he was
on the tracks, he suddenly applied
the brakes, thus stopping his car
just as the train reached the spot.
DR.. Purnell and the passengers in
his car were the only eye witnesses
to the accident. Conductor Harring-
ton, of the train, stated that he
heard the whistle, but because of the
noise of the train it was impossible
to hear the bell. He also said that
the train always slows up at the
crossings and sounded the bell until
the station is reached.

An Explanation

Hundreds of persons went out to
the Dorchester County Fair yesterday
laboring under the belief that the
price of admission for that day was
Csc, and they were naturally sur
prised and indignant when they were
charged soc. The price of admission
to the Fair was rightly Soc, but,
through a typographical error, the
Secretary of the Association had adj
vertised the price of admission for
Tuesday at Csc, and the public hav-
ing read The advertisements, which
occurred in all of the papers, believ-
ed the price had been reduced to 25c.
for that day. The price of admission,
as will be seen in the catalogue, is
soc. for Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, and Csc. for Friday. The
Fair Association and those in charge
of the gates knew nothing of the mis-
take and it was only last night, aft
er an investigation, that the true
situation became apparent. The As
ISOLATION truly regrets the occur
renee, and assures the public that
nothing of the kind will occur again.

The more we stir it the worse it gets. We are not interested in where the money was lost or in explanations. The money is gone and the city is ask ing for a half million dollars more to continue its experiment of trying to save the dear poor man 15 cents per month on his light bill. while they turn around and sting him for 50 cents per month tuition (you call it inci- dentials) to send his child to school, 35 cents per month for cleaning his dry closet, $1 for his dog and in a few days he will get a street tax fastened on him of about $3.

RED CROSS ID GIVE COURE OF LESSONS
 ID CLASSES HERE
Miss L. H. Denny Will Have Charge of Prepared" ness" Measure in
 Birmingham

On Monday, June 12, the first class in elementary hygiene and home care of the sick under the auspices of the American Red Cross will be held at Neighborhood House, thus initiating the course of les sons which this great organization has planned for Birmingham.
 This work is a brand new activity in this city, and will be supported gener- ously no doubt when it's vim and object are understood.
 Miss L. H. Denny who is the effi- cent chairman of the local Red Cross work in Birmingham, will be in charge of the course of lessons, having been unanimously chosen by the members here and recommended by them to the na- tional board of the Red Cross, and from the latter Miss Denny will receive her credentials which will mean her appoint ment.
 Miss Denny is ably equipped both to promote and direct the new work as she is graduate of the Illinois Training school in Chicago, and during her resi- dence in Birmingham has proven herself a most capable acquisition She is pres dent of the State Nurses association, and or the local associa ton also.
 Miss Denny will be assisted by Miss Annie Laurie Sparkes in the Red Cross work.
 The primary object of the establish ment of the Red Cros course of lessons IS to teach the care of the sick in the nome; also it is a direct road to pre- paredness" since in times of war those who have taken a course in the work will be enabled to assist the corps of regular trained nurses to care for the sick and the wounded.
 Anyone over Is is eligible to member ship in the Red Cross course of lessons, and the small sum of $5 is asked for the course of 15 lessons. At the comple- ton of the course an examination will be held, and those wishing to stand the examination may do, so and if they pass will receive a certificate of eff- ciency.
 Miss Denny is highly pleased at the splendid interest which is being taken by all those clear minded, progressive citizens of Greater Birmingham who nave been approached on the subject, and she feels that the Red Cross course of lessons is going to be a distinct as- set to Birmingham and of great value to ali who take advantage of the oppor- tunity to learn something about the practical care of the sick in the home.

CITY MERCHANTS
 T0CLOSE EARLY ON
 SATURDAY NIGHTS
Efforts Are Being Made to Change Pay Days So They Will Not Fall on
 Saturday

The revival of the early closing of Bir- mingham stores on Saturday night will begin today, when large number of merchants who have signed the agree ment will close their doors at D. m. The new petition to this effect was circu- lated through the influence of the Board of Trade following their meetings Thurs day It is expected that many other merchants who have not yet been seen will join in the. movement during the coming week.
 It was announced yesterday that one of the chief obstacles which had been met in getting the merchants to close was the fact that so many of the corpor- ations had pay days on Saturday. It is stated that an effort is to be made to have this changed or else arranged to let the men have their money earlier in the day. The same is true in regard to the payment of servants, many of whom do not receive their money until late Sat urday night.
 The merchants who signed the early closing agreement Friday were:
