JC Cyclone Vuiita Wilko»-Barro. j A 6'yelone struck the Wyoming Valley last Tuesday afternoon Aug. 19th about 5 o'clock and wrought terrible devastation in the city of Wilkes-Barre. A number of lives were lost and the great wortder is that the list was not largely in creased. Immense buildings were unroofed and small Structures were entirely demolished and the streets filled with fifing timber and debris ol every character. The scene after the cyclone was terrible. The loss it is said will reach nearly a half million' dollars.' < Great Excitement at the 'Mere. OR Monday at 6p. m. last, great excitement was .witnessed at Hotel Eagles Mere. "the cause of the catastrdphy was about the bill-of fair. It seems that the proprietors of the Hotel had requested warm biscuits for tea and the order was , given to the cook (colored) who was to inform the baiter to prepare the same. At supper time guests called for biscuits but were informed by the waiters that there were none, presently the proprietors,were told that there was considerable, dissatis faction among the guests about the non appearance of .warm biscuits which appeared on the bill-of-fair. Mr. Ingham went to the cook and inquired the cause, who said that he had given the baker orders to pre pare the same and could give no reason why they were not on deck. The baker was then brought forwaid and denied that the cook had men tioiied the matter to him. This brought on hot words and they fin ally clinched ; the baker downed the cook who weighs Some fitty pounds more than lie, but no sooner had they fallen when a crowd gathered and separated them. The cook wAs then let go who immediately ran to his department and got two cleavers, one in each hand and started in pur suit of the baker who ran up stairs at the request of those present. He went into a room and jumped out of the window meeting the cook face to face. The cook struck biin on the head with the axes and cn the back with the other. Neither cut, however, was serious. The Cook, was at that time frothing at the mouth with anger. He w.19 then caught and bound with bed cords and the tike and taken to Squire Brink who found him guilty of sanlt and batter}'. He was brought to 1 a Porte on the same evening and ocoupied cell No. 1 for an hour or two when he was bailed out and on the followjng morning left for Washington, I). C.j from whence he hails. , lii our concliision, we might say however, that, there were many policemen of the 'Mere before this happened, but we are told that the excitement of this scene caused hnany to run 111 the direction of the lake and it expected ihat a num ber drowned or perhaps climbed trees, they ale lost however, and in consequence the number of police men of the 'Mere have suddenly grew less. The several workingmen in the employ of Lyon's Lumber Company were engaged in cribbing along Muncy creek bed in the village of Sonestown, on Friday last. They were attempting to remove the stones from the rear end of Mrs. Paiton's property to the opposite side and the old lady did not ap prove of the change, hence she stood on guard with an apron well filled with choice throwing stones and when the boys would cross over with the intention of laying a hand on her stones she would lei drive a vollfty that would cause them to re treat. A. L. Lovelass came near falling a victim of her mighty arm. He was crossing the creek with what she called her property ; the old likly being at the upper end of the stone patch at the time he load ed tip, but before he could gain the othef side She Was on deck and let loose her missies with what the boys say (intent to kill.) One ot the messages brushed the side of his face striking a rock opposite him breaking it into many pieces. Had the stone hit him on' the head it would have caused death in their midst. It was fun for the spectators but the boys were obliged to watch their p's and q's or suffer the con sequence. The old laciy remained on deck and but few of the rocks were disturbed. She was" very doss and said she would appeal to the jaw for protection. CYCLONE AT BENTON. Ii Creates Sad Havoc In a Short Space of Time. A destructive cyclone swept through Columbia county, about one-half mile south of Benton, on Tuesday last, destroying the barn and outbuildings on the farm of i William Hulmes and injuring two persons. Mrs. Hulmes, a lady aged about 60 years, had both legs broken and was injured internally. A servant gifl was also slightly bruised. The two ladies were in an out-kitchen at the time and were buried under* the heavy timbers. The ladies were rescued by the superintendent of the B. & S. rail road, who happened to be in the vicinity, with a gang of men. The large brick mansion is nearly a total wreck. Buildings on the farms of Messrs. Ash, Bender and Keller, in the directions of Cambria Were also wrecked. Mr. Hulmes estimates his loss at SIO,OOO. Large trees were snapped off like pi pie stems and an ornamental tree in front of the house was carried about twenty yards. Atty. J. Q. Scouten of bushore'J was engaged in a law suit which took place at LaPorte, on Saturday. A FATAL SHAM BATTLE. Terrible Effecte of the Premature Die charge of a Cannon. ATHENS, Aug. 22— During a shani battle at the soldiers encampment a cannon was prematurely discharged, instantly killing Will Bossom, aged 20, fatally injuring James N.

As We expect to be a candidate for County Commissioner this fjill subject to the decision of the Re publican Convention, we are a trifle engaged in looking up our friends this week and have paid but little attention to our paper. We have found many warm friends, iii our travels who express their best wishes in our behalf, however, we may run against a Bnag before our convention convens that will cause us to change our tune, but at present all is pleas ant, George and Thos; Simmons, two old and well known veterans of Sonestown, will please accept our thanks for many favors shown lis in the short campaign. Our position is this: We have always worked hard for the success of our party and to-day are the looser of nearly all legal advertising for the vefy en thusiastic part we took in the last fall's campaign. The salary of County Commissioner, should we be successful in receiving the same, would only be a small compensation for our loss. it is true that we are expected to do this, but one good turn deserves another; biit should you feel dif ferent we shall hold no ill feelings and should you come beforfc the people at any future time, we shall do all in our power to catry you through successfully. The other Republican candidates so far as we have learned, are: A. A. Wilmott of Bernice, and we have heard Joseph C. Pennington's name mentioned, but at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Saturday, he could hot say positive that he would enter the field. Should there be any others we would take pleas ure in giving their names to the public, without price. A fair fight is honorable, and should you have anything to say through the press, we will take pleasure in publishing the same. A large congregation greeted Rev. P. R. Pittman of Forksville last Sunday to listen to his discourse on Odd Fellowship. LaPorte Lodge attended in a body and their ranks were swelled by brothers of the order from several of the lodges in the county. Sonestown Lodge is deserving of especial mention. The sermon was able and eloquent and listened to throughout with' marked attention. The principles and teachings of Odd Fellowship were, forcibly presented and the aims of the order to the nort afflicted. The motto of the order was carefully re viewed and the beautiful lessons of Friendship, Love and Truth, ably explained. The fraternity can not fail to be benefitted by a discourse so perfectly adopted to the needs of the order. We understand that Mr. Pittman has consented to preach on the same subject for the brothers of Sonestown Lodge in the near future. One of the most pleasant events of the season Was the golden wed ding celebration of Mr. And Mrs. John Messenger of LaPorte last Monday, general invitations were is sued last week and in response most of our townspeople assembled to pay their respects and offer their congratulation's to the nappy couple. They were the recipients of many handsome and valuable gifts, among others* we noticed a beautiful gold lined silver tea set, handsome rock ing-chairs, pitcher, and lamp. The REPUBLICAN joins with their many friends in wishing them continued 1 prosperity and happiness. STABBED IN THE STORE i ©• X- PntESTOOZ. STILL ALIVE, BUT VERY LOW. CANT LAST LONG.
