Tba flseey clouds gsvs way te tba
ominous signs of scorning storm. Dark,

atlllaata aa et coming danger. Then tba
wind whittled, reared and tore a anad
oeatutlon. Tbe storm clouds grew heavier
still, aBd leader reared tbe wind.
Xa the weetern aky tbe storm waa aeea
approaching, with a thundering noise. Tba
swsth It ent waa narrow, but tbe effect waa
terrible. Persons raaldlng along the track

..!r ?" gather up everything
within Harmen andeait It right aid left
Oat lu tbe country houses snd barna were
unroofed, farm outbuilding overturned,
crepa rooted tip and destruction rpr jad la
every direction.
Tbe track of thla dMtruetlve element waa
net mere tban 200 feet wide, and It la lucky
that It only touched tbe anburba or the city.
It eune from tbe west, but pawed along the
northern border of Reeding, Flrt it
louebed the Mount Penn stove works. Hare
tbe corner et tbe building waaatruek aad a
portion or the toot was out off aa nicely an If
done with a pair or scissors. Then tba
storm-cloud, seurrled across nema fields,
took oft a portion of tbe reef of J. H. Stern
bergh'a rolling mill, and a number of
dwellings were unroeted us nleely aa if
tbelr tin roefe were paper. Tne aterm then
hurried aoreea the property or tba Reading
railroad company and crewed the railroad.
Here a paaenger ear waa atandleg. ThU
was overturned as easlly at If It had been a
toy and la pllntera scattered In every
direction.
Meanwbile tbe rain poured down In ter.
rents, tbe atmosphere became heavy and
oppressive, and it was almeat as dark aa
night. Directly alongside the tracks of the
Reading railroad waa situated the paint-
abep of the Reading railroad oempany. It
was a one story building, about CO by 160
feet. Here about thirty men were em em
pleyed in painting passenger cars. There
were eight or nine or these cars In tbe
building. Tbey weie built at the company's
abeps In that city at a cost et fa.COO each.
Tbe building waa etruek square In the
middle, aad the bricks scattered about aa If
tbey were playthings. Tbe care were
turned tepsy-turvy, while the men were
burled under the debris. Seme et the
bricks were carried a square away.
The chamber et aaeh et the pawanger
cars was already filled with gas, as they
were ready te be taken out en tba read In a
lew days. These exploded one after another
with the fearful bang et a cannon, causing
the people te run out of tbelr houses, think
Ing that It waa the sound et an earthquake.
Tbare was a considerable quantity et gaso
line In the building, and tnls added tuel te
tbe flames.
A sbeatb of flune shot heavenward with
tbe rear of musketry. Berne twenty of tbe
men had a chance te crawl out of the debris,
but four of their com pan tens were enveloped
In tbe embrace et the flames. Tbelr erlea
were heard for a moment by tbe terrified
workmen, and then their velcea were
hushed forever. They were quloklyreaatel
te death, and tbe Ure from tbe nine pas
senger cars lit up tbe heavens for miles
around. It wsa a beautiful sight, and oeuld
have been enjoyed but for tbe awful
calamity wbleb brought It about. In tbe
meautlma tbe lira department had been
. eilled out, but Its aervleea were unavailing.
Tbe building and ears were consumed In
fifteen minutes, and nothing left but tbe
blackened, amokleg ruin, under which
lay tour human beings burned te a crisp.
Following are the names of these burned
te death: Jehn Kahler, Albert Ltndberger,
Bberldan Jenes, Geerge Bahaefer.
Following are the namea of these Injured
by tbe explosion : Aaren Dawalt, an em-
Sleye et the pilot shop, arm broken;
serge Knabb, Injured Internally, and, no
doubt, fatally; tne leas te tbe railroad
oempany la fully 175,000.
While tbls wsa ge.ag en tbe aterm wsa
traveling forward with tearful rapid Ity. It
mess have traveled at tbe rate el 100 miles
an hour. It unroeted a dczen private resi
dences, Tbe huge sheets of tin ware earrled
half a square away, and deposited In aa
eutlet, Then the aterm proeeeded In lie
fury.
THB READ1KO. SILK MILL BLOWH DOWN.
Directly In Its path, at tbe corner of
Twelitb and Marien streets, steed tba Read,
leg silk mill. Here about 176 happy girls
were wetklng. The building was a huge
atrueture, meat substantially built, four
stories in height, and had a basement
besides. It occupied an entire block of
ground. The building Itself was nearly
300 feet In leegtb and about 160 feet wide,
and surmounted by a massive tower, tally
ICO feet from tbe ground.
Tne funnel-shaped storm cloud struck
the building directly In tbe centre en Ha
oreadeat aide, whleb faced tbe week It
fe:i te pieces as if composed el se many
building blocks. Nearly 200 human belnga
went down In the awful wreck. Human
tongue cau never tell the terrible scenes of
that hour. The walls gave way, tbe floors
fail down one en top of tbe ether, and
carried tbls grest main of human belnga te
the bottom. The bricks were pi led up In
tbe greatest confusion, while amid tbe
hurricane and whistling, ruthtng, rearing
Wind, terrible erlea for snoeor were sent up
te Heaven. It waa a moment that tried
men souls. Almest simultaneous with
the rail of the building came tbe awful
erlea for relle'. Quia with blaekened facts,
bruised and broken limbs, their clothing
tattered and lern, dragged themselves from
tbe ruins.
Be probably 75 te 100 escsped through
their own frantic tfTerU or were dragged
out by tbelr friends. These, of course,
worked en tbe upper II ors, and were
tbrewn near tbe top of tbe debris.
At eeme piaea tbe brlcke ware piled
twenty feet deep, and underneath team
are lying bnman bodies by the eoere.
About 250 girls and young women are
usually employed lu the mill, but af 4
o'clock about eighty were relieved from
duty for the day. Tney returued te their
hemee before tbe aterm came.
Tbe alarm for relief was Immediately
sent out, and In a abort llme theuiande of
eltlcana arrived te help get out tbe dead
and dying. Tba scene was a harrowing
one and beggars description. The mill Is
situated near tbe feet of Mount Prien, a
high mountain overlooking tbeeity. When
the people arrived everything u envel
eped lndarkne.a.
Then huge boefirei were built wbleb
east a dismal glare en the aurreundlng
seene. Tbe fire oempaoles lait the barnlne
pelnt-ahep and satiated la tbe rescue et
the dead and the dying. The entire pel loe
force waa ealled ent; tbe ambulance and
relief oerpe and a thousand people were tn
among tbe debris, carrying out bricks,
pulling away timbers and assisting wber
evertbey could all at tbe same time ; but
tbelr work waa alew compared with tbe
demand for tbe rescue of the victims of
the disaster.
Hare a young woman was taken out all

BXPLOSIVB EGOS
Oesd By a Barn Bnralag Lunatle la Yerk
Oeaaly.
There have bean a number of mysterious
barn burnings In tbe southern part et Yerk
oeunty, close te the Maryland line, and
notwithstanding the offer et rewards fcr the
Incendiary no clue had been found until a
fewdayaage when a curious dlioetery
wsa made.
About dinner time aeme one ea the farm
of Mr, David Newcomer, who Uvea two
miles west rrem eisnvllie, a hamlet ea tbe
Baltimore and Hanover read, heard a hen
cackling at a vigorous rate and when found
aba waa In a ahed attached te tba barn and
waa hurling her protesting cackles at an
egg at her teet Aa the egg waa picked up
It waa Inverted and a amail stream of black
powder poured from one end. This proved
te be gunpowder.
As seen a Mr. Newoemer and bla neigh
bera realized that tbe egg contained an ex
plosive they were net long in reaching tbe
conjecture that another egg had been
hidden near tbe point wbere tbla bad been
and that It would explode before six o'clock
the hour In tbeaiternoen at whleb all tbe
previous fires, wltb oneexeeptlou, hsd been
discovered. All the farming Implements
were removed from tbeabed,and tha sbecka
of fodder, whleb inclined against the ex
terior of tbe frame, were also quickly taken
away. If another egg bad been oenoealed It
was thought thst It would bt among this
fodder, wbleh weald prove a desirable
place ter ststUng tbe flames. Esob shock
waa picked up separately and violently
pitched ten or fifteen feet, ae that an egg
or any oenoealed Infernal maehlne would
have tumbled out, but tbe expected event
did net transpire. Each shook waa then
dragged aeventy-five feet te en old nnoo nneo nnoe
oupied oil mill and then set .np against It.
It was tben three o'clock, and Mr. New
comer and his neighbors waited for tbe ar
rival et tbe hour el 4:30 or 6 o'clock, when
It waa anticipated tbat an explosion
would take place either In the fodder or In
the bam, and buckets iwere filled wltb
water and all preparatlene were made te
extinguish the flames aaiesn ss tbey sbeuld
appear. At 4:30 an explosion waa heard and
ait eyea were Immediately turned toward
tbe barn, but no 11 imea were seen. Mrs.
Miller at tbe aame moment saw tbe flames
lssp 30 feet from tbe abecka around tbe old
oil mill, and there the explosion waa
located. Tbe Ore was neon put out.
Beven barns have been burned and all but
one were In Manbelm lewnablp. All were
burned lata lu tbe afternoon. Oa New
Year'a day David Meek ley, near Glenville,
beard an explosion as be wss climbing bis
hsy me w about 11 ve o'eloek In tbe afternoon .
In a moment tbe rick was In llamea and
bis barn waa deatiejed.

Get Judgment for four.
AmeBg persons wbe de a grest deal et
driving in tbe ceuntry,tbere baa bsen much
complaint for years about the condition of
tbe different turnpikes. Tbe company
controlling ibe read between tbls elty snd
Mlllersvllle have bad trouble wltb many
people, who have refused te pay tell, and
several Isw suits bsve resulted. One day
recently F.Sdhreeder,a well known tobacco
buyer of tbls elty, drove through tbe gate
en tbla pike without piyicgbla tell, wbleb,
between tbe cliy snd Mlllersvllle, Is ten
cents. Tbe oempany at once brought a
evil sultsgalnat Bohreeder, before Alder
man Halbaeb, te recover tbe dime. The:e
waa a bearing in the cate en Tueaday.
Tbe gate-keeper gave bis side et tbe story
and tben Mr. Habieedei'e defense wss
heard. Tbe latter claimed that the turnpike
la in need of great repairs and that In many
plaeea wbere It baa been repaired tbe condi
tion la worse tban before. It was alie
shown tbst as the street ear traiks
runs along the west side of the turnpike
It Is net the width that It should be. Mr.
Bcbreeder lurtber testified thst he did net
drive tbe whole distance, for which ten
cents Is charged, but only a mile or ae be
yond tbe gate. Tbe alderman reaerved
bla declaien, at a little llme was required
te study ever a case of such magnitude
Hebssnew given judgment In fsver et
tbe turnpike oempany for the sum of four
cents. Ibe defendant cannot takeout aa
appeal, bat tbe case will likely be cer cer
tlerarled, and may yet reach tbe supreme
oeurt.
