The Preshyterians of Birmingham are quite anxious to seonre Tavrvse AND y LioHmING, A Bamx BURNED.—The first thunder storm of the year occurred on Sunday afternoon and though it did not last long it was severe enough to make one think it was mid- snminer. The storm was accompanied with a hard downfall of rain hat lortunate- ly it did not last long therelore occasioned po danger of a flood. The lightning, how- ever, played havoo with some of the tele- phone wires 1n this place and a number of the Commercial telephone company’s lines were put oat. The Pennsylvania telephone company and the telegraph companies es- caped with comparatively little damage, Down Bald Eagle valley the storm was unusually severe. The barn on the farm of William Robb, near Romoia, was struck by lightning and barned to the ground with all its contents of grain, hay and farm implements. The stock was gotten ous safely. The loss is about eighteen hun- dred dollars with a partial insarance. That was about the only real damage done in the county, so far as known. Of conrse the old saw is a thander storm in the spring means cold weather and we have bad it since, though it is hoped there will not be a prolonged spell of it, MORE THUNDER, RAIN AND FLOOD. Since the above was written we have had ample canse to know that there has bsen more rain, because there hing been the big- gest flood in Spring oreck in more than six years with the result thas there were at least 24 inches of water in the WATCHMAN press room yesterday and while this item is being written the devil is at work shov- eling out the mand so thas the paper oan he run off in time to reach its readers at she usual boar, Whale it has been more or less threaten- ing all week with showers every now and then it was not until Wednesday thas the situation became desperate. The heavy rain of Weduvesday forenoon and the fierce storms of the evening and night sufficed to raise the water in all the streams in the county to a dangerous point. Spring creek was very bigh and oxerran its hanks all along its course. Logan’s branch was that high that the fish hatohery grounds were all under waster. It was at first feared that all the trout were washed away but fortu- nately that did not prove to be the care. At the toll gate south of the Nittany lar- pace the refuse piled up against the trestie aud dammed the water so high that itjoov- ered the publio road to a depth of fourjfeet with over three feet in the toll-keeper’s house. When the pressure of the water became too great the self-formed dam gave way with the resolt that the waterfcame down the creek in such a volume as to cov- er everything. . It awept over the breast of the dam at the Phoenix mill and through she Bellefonte laomber company’s yard. That occurred about three o'clock yester- day morning and it was then that this of- fice got ite worst dose. Quite a number of animals were caught in the rashing waters and carried down the oieck. Boffaio rou was higher than it has been in years, washing away the railroad trestle aud another bridge near Coleville damming up so that she village isjalmoss isolated. The Bellefonte Central railroad company ran their engines np the road as two o'clock yesterday morning to get them out of the water in the round house then the bridge was washed away and they have not been able to even get their en- gines back tothe yard. Below town the railroad tracks were covered with water and moss of the horse and cattle sheds at the fair grounds were washed away. The Baid Eagle was within fifteen inshes of as high as it was daring the Johnstown flood with the result that the most of Milesburg was under water. It was a great flocd andthe damage done was con- siderable. ———— —— Watsontown shoes for $1.98 at Yea- gers, Re — CENTRE COUNTIANS IN TROUBLE.— Samuel Meyers and Mrs. Caivin Horner, of Centre Hall, now laogunish in the Centre county jail and will have ample opportauni- ty to take a retrospective view of the es- capade which landed shem in Fort Khive.

Mr. Carson is now seventy-eight years old and when a young man eighteen years of age he visited Look Haven. At thas time the place was a town of perhaps two huondred houses, stores, eto., with all the primitiveness of a frontier village. From shat time until last Satarday he never visited the town and he naturally was very much surprised when he saw what a place it bad grown to be. ——Harry L. Garber, the broker, failed and went out of business last Friday. His failure was the results of more or less heavy dealing on his part and she market going again him.

Last werks rains and thaws melted the snow aod the colvert under the embankment at the horseshoe hend on the Ballefonte Central, a short distance above Waddles, evidently becoming filled ap the water damned against the railroad antil it formed an inland lake of no small dimen sions. Sunday’s storm also added to the volame of water aud the frost coming ont of the ground the pressure against she rail- road embankment wae very great. When the early train wens np on Moo- | day morning everything looked all right "aud they rounded the horseshoe bend in perfect safety, but they had not gove two car lengths beyond it when abous twenty fees of the embankment gave way and was swept down the valley by the ourush of water. The only explanation as to why is did not go down under she weight of the train is that it most bave been the weight and vibration of the train that loosened the gofsened earth but she train crossed too quickly to get caughs iu the fall. The ac cident, of course, made it necessary So transfer passengers, eto., at that poius until the roadbed could be repaired. ——Men’s $2.50 working shoes now $1.15 at H. C.

That the reverend has had a very successful pastorate since coming to Bellefonte is a fact that re- dounds to his oredit. When he came here the church was burdened with quite a heavy debt,all of which has been liquidated except one thousand dollais and as an off- set to this he bas pledges of over thirteen handred dollars in good subscriptions, In addition the church has heen just as pros- perous in a spiritual way. The full mem- bership has heen increased by a goodly number while there are many probationers on the list. Daring the past year Rev. Stein preached 105 sermons, officiated at 24 fanerals and made 971 pastoral visits. In fact his work in the Bellefonte parish has been so =atigfactory to the entire oon- gregation that a unanimous request for his return has beeu sent to conference and it will andoabtedly be granted.
