NEARBY TOWNS
UNSCATHED BY
HEAVY STORM
Crossed Wires Responsible
For Display That Lighted
Up the Heavens

Sweeping across the Susquehanna
and picking out one particular section
on the east shore of the river to do it's
damage. the severe storm last night,
one of the worst experienced in this
vicinity this year, seemed to concen-
trate all its force upon Riverside.
BY a peculiar freak the storm caus-
ed little damage anywhere except at
Riverside. While much havoc and
damage to property was caused in
this particular section and along the
east bank of the river, scarcely any
damage is reported from towns along
the west shore of the Susquehanna.
1t was reported from Enola this
morning that no damage had resulted
from the storm. The downpour was
terrific it was said, and things looked
threatening when the storm was at
its height, but no serious damage re-
suited.
BY the same peculiar freak of the
storm no damage was done at Marys-
willie. Here too reports say that the
storm was extremely severe. While
the storm was at it's height in this
city. crossed wires at Briggs and East
streets caused flames to shoot into
the air whose reflection was seen by
persons all over the city AS the
city lights were out, due to the storm,
the flames caused by these crossed
wires lighted up the sky at short
intervals. Many persons thought that
a great fire was burning and the Fire
Department responded to a call.
However, no damage resulted.

Foe Is Surrendering
Huge Lines of Guns

Washington, Noy. 1S.--The claus
es of the armistice terms are being
carried out under normal conditions.
according to an official telegram
from Paris. The evacuation of
French territory is considered as
complete. 1t quotes the Petit Paris
len as sayingl
"In their forward movement on
the heels of the invader our soldiers
are gathering an important amount
of material of all kinds, but what
seems to them more remarkable is
the considerable number of Ger
man soldiers who have not follow
ed their retreating armies and who
for reasons easy to guess, have pre-
ferred to be captured rather than
go back ia Germany.

Some curious sidelights on the
storm which late last night swept
Riverside and nearly wiped out the
residential section between Second
and Sixth from Lewis to Edwards
streets, were recounted by Pat"
Hylan, 2435 Reel street, the police
patrol driver who was sent to the
scene soon after the region was de-
vastated.
When Hylan. with Lieutenant Page.
Patrolman Romig and Mcfarland. ar
rived at the scene. he was forced to
stop his patrol and proceed on foot,
as the streets were so Uttered with
sputtering electric wires, telephone
poles. trees. pillars and posts from
the homes which were demolished,
that the streets were impossible.
Very few people were on the
streets. pat" said, and the scene was
one of utter desolation and ruin.
"An automobile stood undisturbed
on a concrete floor, while the garage
was nowhere to be seen. and hasn't
been found yet" he said this morn
ing. 1.-TWO homes in Second street
were crushed in and bound together
by trees which were whipped across
them.
Stunned BY Shock
"It is miracle" he added. how
the people ever got out of there alive.
Whole houses were crushed in, hard
ly a window remained unbrolqen,
while perfect showers of debris were
blown through the open windows and
into rooms which had been uncovered
when the wind blew the roofs off the
houses. In one house a girl was
asleep when the crashing houses near
by wakened her. She jumped up and
ran out into her room, and just as she
did so. the top of the house was rip
ped off with an awful crash. and her
! bed was deluged in a shower of de-
| bris. Her mother also was sleeping
in the house"
Mr. Hylan said the people seemed
| to be stunned by the shock. When
| the party of policemen first arrived,
the entire sky was lit up by blaz-
! ing electric wires and sputtering
fuses, while there was measured
roaring as the twisted and torn wires
sputtered all over the stricken dis
] trict.

POLICE FIND PEOPLE
STUNNED BY STORM
Patrol Driver Tells How People Huddled Porches WheR
Wind Blew Homes to Bits

People were huddled together on
their porches. all seeking the comd
fort of one another's presences
Through broken windows. mothers'
were to be seen rocking their babies
by the light of pickering oil lamps.
The gathering crowds were very
quiet, he said. Railroaders who live
in the district hurried home from
their work, and when they found
their families safe, counted the ruin
of their houses as only of secondary
Importance.
Thankful For Lives
"The people seemed thankful thae
God left them live," Hylan saids
"They didn't seem to care what hap-
pened next. The whole neighborhood
was a pitiful sight, the interiors OF
homes banged as though by hams
mer. with bricks and stones that were
blown into the deroofed houses. The
people were standing quietly around.
contemplating the damage, and there
seemed to be a fright bolt driven
into them which they will not get
over for long while.
"One man said he was closing ~
window to keep out the rain. when
the destruction seemed to sweep over
the place as quick as a thunderbolta
He said right in front of him, a great
ball of fire suddenly loomed up. and
in a flash the houses around him
were crashing to the earth, huge
heaps of debris. lattice works, brick.
furniture, pictures. roofs, were hurl-
ing through the air, bombarding
houses in the paths of the storm.
"In one place. double brick house
was wrenched off its foundation and
moved back three feet. The floors
telescoped into each other. the front
of the house settled into the cellar,
leaving the back part at crazy
angle. tilted into the air with the
porch several feet off the ground"
Hylan made two trips to Rivers
side. The first was at IL o'clock when
he remained for two hours. giving
assistance to the unfortunate victims.
The second time was at four o'clock.
when he took detachment of police-
men to preserve order and protect
| the ruined homes and the property
of the householders.
