ToNklN AND CLINE GET
7 VOTES AT HODGE ST

A difference In the method OF re-
porting returns led the count of votes
on Monday at the HODGE Street
School astray, whereby no votes were
credited to DR.. Tonkin, for mayor,
and for Mr. Cline, for the council.
Seven votes were polled for each, a
closer count shows; and the new to-
tai puts the two mayoralty candidates
on an exactly equal basis, with 232
votes for each.

THIS AND NEARBY
SECTION VISITED
BY SEVERE STORM
tNcESsNNT RAINFALL, SNOW,
Low TEMPERATURE AND
WIND DO DAMAGE.
NOTHING BUT CHERRIES BE-
LlEVEp INJURED ON EARLY
EXAMINATION.

TY OUT or oRDER--T RAINS
ALL RIGHT.

A very unusual storm. bringing
with Ii rain. snow and low tempera-
ture, has been hanging over this Inn
mediate section for the past bwo days.
The facts indicate that II Is about
the worst the section has seen In
twenty-five years for so late date,
although the material damage will not
reach the amounts set by previous
storms which brought lower temper
atures and more destructive winds.
The storm has also been unusually
small in It's scope, and the center OF
1t has been, apparently, in this conn-
ty and the section Immediately sur
rounding. West of Pittsburgh condi-
tions have been approximately nor
NAL for this season OF the year; and
the seventies have not visited the
territory more than fifty miles to the
east.
Fruit Believed Safe.
inability to reach the big peach sec
tions around Cumberland and Keyser
this morning because of FRUSTRATED
wire conditions still leaves uncertain
the Fate of the crops there, about
which concern was felt yesterday. In
this county, however, while no ex-
tensiye examination has been made
as yet, 1t Is generally believed that
the apple crop has escaped and 1t
was also said that there was reason
to hope the earlier erops.--cherries
and peaches, had also been saved.
Apples are not very far advanced as
yet, and had, as consequence, less
to fear than the earlier fruits. The
presence of so much moisture in tho
air yesterday and last night, and the
constant rainfall during the night
tempered the coldness of the air and
also furnished protection to tho
buds and blossoms aginst the atmos-
phere What IS feared now ig that the
weather may clear and turn cold, in
which case there is little hope for
any Of the crops. The weather re-
ports today, however, promised
warmer clearing, which has raised the
hopes OF the fruit men
Ground Crops Unhurt.
The grain and other ground crops
had not advanced far enough To BIO
much exposed to the storm, and as
result the downfall of moisture will
probably be boon to all of them.
The ground was getting dry through
out the section, and needed the mois-
ture.
AS the snow fell it settled into q
state of slush which made walking
along the sidewalks very disagree
able. One conspicuous result of this
during the day was the absence OF
people on bhe street and the conse-
quent slowness in the business Sec
ton.
