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.

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.
