2 SMOKE STUCK PULLS ON FREIGHT TRAIN Workman Buried Under Wreckage at Billmyer Quarries During Heavy Storm GREAT LOSS NEAR MARIETTA Wind, Lightning and Rain Destroy Buildings. Trees and Crops » Special to The Telegraph Marietta, Pa., July 27.—One of the worst electrical storms that ever vis ited Conoy township struck that dis trict on Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock, doing damage in its path which at this writing cannot be fully estimated. It was similar to the one which visited Marietta several weeks ago. Vivid lightning accompanied by Incessant rain completely ruined sev eral fields and at a point where the xoad crosses near Lobata, on the May town and Bainbridge turnpike, there was a cloudburst, as the lanes were filled almost to the top rail, which overflowed tobacco cellars, filled barn yards and caused the run which passes through Rowenna to be higher than the oldest resident remembers. Your correspondent went to the scene and tip the river road, and at several places had to drive through the branches of the treds which were struck by light ning and laid across the roadside. On the Miller Grove farm, just above town, a number of large peach and other fruit trees were blown down and the wind did considerable damage in that section to the corn and tomato stalks. The springhouse which stood on a cement foundation where the road turns in East Donegal township on the Eyer farm was carried-about thirty feet by the high water and would have come onto the road had not a maple tree blocked it. In this section the roads and fields are washed to a great extent. All along the line telephone and telegraph wires are down and made passage very dan gerous. Linemen worked until mid night repairing them. The most dam age done was in the vicinity of Bill myer, at the quarries of the J. E. Baker Company, along the Pennsyl vania railroad. Here the wind blew a terrific gale, blowing down the large stack on one of the buildings at the quarries, which fell across a box car attached to the shifter of the Colum bia crew, and the train was held there until the Columbia wreckers came and hoisted the stackk from the car. The car was badly damaged. Two large frame sheds were also blown down and are a complete wreck. A number of men had narrow escapes from being injured. The wreckage caught Reu ben Fitzkee, about 2 5 years old, who resides at Bainbridge, and is employed at the quarries. He was burled under the debris and it required nearly an hour to release him. It was at first thought he was killed, and while the men were extricating him Dr. Stlever, of Bainbridge, was called. He found that he had incurred a fractured left arm, his left ankle was sprained and lacerations and bruises from the heavy timbers. He was removed to the Co lumbia Hospital. In one of the sheds was tied a horse and carriage which Constable Blair, of Columbia, hired from Liveryman Paules, of Marietta. The wreckage buried the horse so that when it was found it was down on its knees, the harness torn and the car riage a complete wreck. The horse was only slightly cut about the head. The large tobacco shed on the Ben jamin Hoffman farm was blown down and the roof carried away some dis tance. A tree was uprooted by the lightning and carried with the water which rushed down the field. A large locust tree at the residence of Mr. Lcngenecker, the superintendent of the Billmyer quarries, was uprooted and carried to the top of his residence, demolishing a chimney. Several other fine trees were ruined. The falling bricks narrowly missed striking some of the women who were in the house at the time. The hail has cut the tobacco and corn in a number of places. On the Elizabethtown and Maytown turnpike the roads are washed consid erably and a number of fruit trees were felled. Some hail fell about a mile north of- Maytown. Evans' run The Governor Says— "Cut out tea and coffee, my boy. They contain an irritant caffeine and you can't have a fluttery heart or sour stomach or a grouchy headache and do bie business." It's a mighty good plan, if tea or coffee puts you "off colors," to quit it, and for a delicious table beverage, use POSTUM the pure cereal food-drink. There is no caffeine nor other harmful substance in Postum. In either form—Regular Postum, which must be boiled, (15c and 25c pack ages) or Instant Postum, made instantly in the cup with hot water (30c and 50c tins) — Postum is good in any business. "There's a Reason?' MONDAY EVENING.. TELEGRAPH JULY 27, 1914 through Marietta was high and the Chickies creek was over the bank._ Near the Maytown tollgate the rain was heavy and on the Hiestand farm, tenanted by John J. Farmer, the water is standing like a lake and has ruined the tobacco. The lightning struck the bank barn on the John H. Shank farm, on the road leading to Maytown, near Lobata. The farm is tenanted by John Brubaker. A mule which was in the stable perished in the flames. The corn barn was burned to the ground. A party of four in automobile, who were about to seek refuge under the forebay of the barn which was struck, made a narrow escape from being burned, as the bolt was carried directly in front of the machine. Another bolt of lightning struck a large tree in the lane leading from Billmyer to the scene of the Are. The light could easily be seen at Marietta. A bolt of lightning struck a num ber of trees at the Point on the oppo site side of the river and several men who were seeking shelter while out fishing were badly shaken up as the trees fell in front of them across their boat. The storm put an end to the game of baseball between Marietta and the Actives. ■of Lancaster. It went only four innings, score 4 to 2, in favor of the Actives. The players and spectators sought refuge in the silk mill across the street. News Items of Central Pennsylvania Special to The Telegraph Reading.—According to J. R.
