CLOUDBURST AT
FAIR MONTROSE
Tho Town Visited by tho Most Vio
lent Storm on Record Much
Damage Results from
Downpour of Rain.
Special to the Scranton Tribune,
Montr-one, Aiiir. 21 This town
Immerlinto vicinity whs visited
nnd
Inst
night by ths mol. terrific thundor
Btorm of the fonson. If It was not
literally n clnmllititst certainly It was
a very close nppro.ioh to one. The rnln
beK.in before midnight nnd continued
with unnlintlng fury nearly all night.
A good share of the town's population
got up from their beds and watched the
progress of th storm. With an In
cessant downpour of rain was a con
tinuous electrical display, lntcrmlngloil
with deafening peals of thunder. There
was little If any wind. The- dmiing?
wrought, while considerable, was noth
ing like as creat as might be expected.
The gutters of the streets were over
flowed and the streets became rushing
torrents. The suanps on the outsklits
of the town assumed the nppearance
of miniature lakes. The streets In
many places were badly washed and
much of the good work done by Ptreet
Commissioner Hutan nnd 'assistants
during the spring and summer was un
done "In the twinkling of an t-yp."
Hut one place has been icported where
lightning struck within the borough
limits and that was on the terrac In
front of neputy Sheriff 11. S. Conklln's
residence on Prospect street. It struck
not over six feet from the house and
tore a large hole in the bank. Numer
ous rll.u. weii' Hooded and In one
house on t'henango sticet a layer of
mud to the depth of an Inch was de
posited upon u newly laid carpet, by
the street gutter overllowlng nnd n
part of the stream turning dliectly into
the houss. Outside of town, reports
come of more serious damage, buildings
being stiuck and wholly or partially
destroed and houses Hooded, to such
an extent In one. Instance as to force
the occupants to move the furnish
ings of the flist floor to tho lloor nbove.
Following so closely upon the storms
of Saturday and Sunday, which caused
washouts, destroyed bridges and Inter
fered so with all modes of travel, our
people are wondering what next Is In
store for them. The weather has been
threatening nearly all day. and this
afternoon we have had another brisk
shower.

been lemovctl from both of these

ness was almost totally nnnlhlated.
Tach of these men lost many hun
dred dollars during the few days It
lar.ted. After the big union picnic held
two weeks ago deputy revenue collec
tors called on the officers of tho local
unions nnd made them pay a license
for selling beer. The repoit got In cir
culation that Messrs. Fre?dman and
Lyons had reported tho matter to, tho
revenue collector and this was the basis
for the boycott. A fine of $2 was Im
posed on anyone seen going into cither
of theso places and tho penalty for a
second offense was suspension. Mr.
Trredman, In company with an officer
of the local union, Interlewed Collector
Evans and got a statement that he
had nothing to do with reporting the
picnic. He then laid the matter before
tho officers of District No. l, threnten
lng to take It Into court If the boycott
was not at once removed. They prom
ised to investigate the matter and see
that he got Justice, vice resident Res
covlts nnd Committeemen Collins and
Healey attended a special meeting held
In the opera house this week nnd after
it was thoroughly discussed, by unani
mous voto the boycott was remnveJ.
The foielgn members of tho locnls,

Mrs. Kelly's son, Michael, Is a soldier
In the regular nrmy of tho United

a number of yeats, and the aged mother
had not seen her son for some time.
Information came last year that the
regiment to which he belonged was or
deied to China, nnd that on their way
to the west would pass through Pltts
ton on the Lehigh Valley railroad. Mrs.
Kelly Immediately became anxious to
see her boy, and when the day for the
regiment to pass through here nt rived
she made her way to the Lehigh and
Bloomsburg Junction depot hoping to
hid her soldier boy a fond adieu. At
the station, however, she was Informed
that the train woud not stop there, but
woud stop at Falling Springs, at the
upper end of the Coxton yard, to tnko
on water. Filled with disappointment
tears flowed from the old mother's eyes,
nnd the employes nt the station taking
pity on her secured an engine and had
the woman taken to tho spot where the
train would stop. Patiently she sat
along the bank until the train arrived,
when Michael was Informed of his
mother's presence, and for a few min
utes mother nnd son with eyes filled
with tears were clasped In a fond em
brace, and there were few dry eyes In
tho long line of soldiers who looked on

for the popular sentimental song, "A
Mother's Sad Good-Hyp." The funeral
