with redoubled intensity. During the
first stsorm. which lasted forty-five
minutes, .92 inches of rain fell, while
during the second downpour, which
continued for an hour and twenty
minutes, 1.37 Inches of rain fell. The
total rainfall was 2.29 Inches during
a little more than two hours.
Furious Wind Causes Heavy Ix>sse&
A furious wind accompanied the
storm and the damage resulting was
due as much to the gale as to the
lightning. The air seemed to be sur
charged with electricity. Lights were
blown out, trolley cars were stalled
"when fuses went, wires were blown
down, and a general demoralization
resulted In electric utilities. This
morning repairmen and linesmen were
busy setting things to rights.
Lightning knocked a hole through
the roof of the Enola Y. M. C. A. and
rain flooding through the hole did
considerable damage. The Enola res
taurant was struck by lightning. The
bolt went into the kitchen and started
n blaze. Slight damage resulted, but
it is said that a lot of pies on the
counter weer turned upside down by
the freakish bolt of lightning.
Barns Burned
Three barns in Cumberland county
were destroyed, the blaze being visible
to residents across the river. A barn
on Hogentogler's farm near Enola was
burned down, and a loss of SIO,OOO
resulted. All the gTain harvested this
year was consumed. Several horses
and cows perished in the blaze. Elec
tric bolts struck many trees through
out the town, splintering huge
branches, and the wind completed the
destruction, casting them long dis
tances and littering the streets and;
pavements. An electric bolt struck
the roof of Jerauld's shoe store at 310
Market street and tore away the tin,
permitting the water to enter the
upper floor.
Havoc In the Suburbs
Throughout the suburbs the wind
and lightning played havoc over a
Wide area. Probably windswept Pax
tonia suffered worst. In addition to
the burning of the Berryhill Nursery,
the barn of the Paxtonia Hotel and a
part of the hotel were blown down, i
while Fishburn's warehouse went
over in the gale. A stable and an-1
other house also were partly demol
ished.
At Camp Hill a double chimney in
the home of Adam Egolf was struck
and its shattered pieces crashed
through the roof. The homes of Enos
Smith and Harry Evinger, at Duncan
non, were struck by lightning.
Feed Wire Ablaze
The home of George Hetrick. near
Penbrook. was struck twice, the first
bolt tearing away the chimney and
the second tearing out window sashes
and breaking several windows in the
house. The feed wire of the Harris
burg Light and Power Company at
Penbrook was struck and blazed for
LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician
Formerly people thought meat nec
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
It is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as in the following letter from a N. Y.
man:
"I had suffered for years with dys
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised be to eat less meat and greasy
foods generally. I tried several things
• '»vi, tho of my usual break
fast of chops, fried potatoes, etc., but
got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts
food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
lam now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than
the rriedioine I had taken before.
"My wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
ere a verv happy family, largely due
to Grape-Nuts.
"We have been so much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be un
gTatefu! not to acknowledge it."

thence southeastward as far as Vir
ginia.
The phenomenon.which will be most
striking in Russia, will bring total
darkness for nearly two minutes
there, and the shadow cone of the
eclipse will sweep across the hostile
armies of the Continent, shrouding
them in a sickly twilight for three
full hours.
The shadow will leave the earth as
it reaches India, where the last trace
of it will disappear with the breaking
up of the conjunction between sun,
earth and moon.
nearly an hour. One barn near Man
ada Gap was totally destroyed.
Wires were down all over the city.
At Eleventh and Hansom streets an
electric transformer set fire to a pole.
The Susquehanna Fire Company put
out the blaze. A 2,300 volt arc feed
; wire snapped and fell In front of
George Heisey's home at 211S North
Third street. It burned holes in the
j ground and tore up the earth for
i some distance, as it was swung like
a torch by the wind.
No Injuries Reported
There are no reports of any ln
| juries due to the storm, although
I there were a number of narrov es
capes from flying branches of trees
i and the lightning, which struck close
i down to the city until the heavy air
) was cleared up.
Probably the greatest damage to
! trees during the season occurred in
i Reservoir Park and Riverside
| Park. Thousands of huge of
i trees were blown away in both city
| parks, and it will take park foresters
! a long time to repair the damage.
| Some of the trees were Irreparably
! ruined, and will have to be chopped
' down. The usual subway flood and
washing of dirt from the bluff on to
Cameron street also occurred.
Storm Area a Wide One
The area of storm damage extended
| throughout the central and northeast -
lem portions of the State. Five were
killed 60 injured and twenty houses
| wrecked in the cyclonic storm at
| Wilkes-Barre. Two of the dead were
I girls storm-stayed in the Laurel Silk
i Mill, which was demolished by light
ning. The daylight search of the po
lice failed to find any more dead in
the wrecked mill or demolished
homes. It is thought the property loss
will exceed $200,000.
At Shenadoah two men were struck
jby lightning, while at Pottsville llght
i ning hit the Pennsylvania Railroad
| station. The storm appears to have
followed about the course of the se
! vere storm that swept through the
| same region in July, starting around
I the north branch at Wilkes-Barre and
I sweeping down to Sunbury, thence j
i following the main stream to the
j ocean.
. Through the Cumberland valley, it 1
l is reported, from Mechanicsburg to |
| Carlisle the storm has left six burned
1 barns in its wake. Among these were
ja barn on the Schaeffer farm and one
1 near New Kingston, belonging to the
(Misses Ziegler, of Carlisle.
| On the lawn of Dr. R. E. Moffatt's
home. Relly near Front streets, one
; of the most beautiful elms in this
i section of . the State was blown over
jby the furious wind. The reason so
! many trees in River Front Park fell
!at the onslaught of the wind experts
say is that the roots of mafiy of the
I heaviest trees have been cut short of
necessity to make the proper sloping
I in the park.
| E. C. Ensminger, of the Ensmlnger
: parage, reports that the wind tore
away the-i>oof of his garage when the
storm was at its height.
Repair Light Service
With repair gangs, linemen and
electric motor trucks busy practically
all night the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company this afternoon had
restored entirely its sen-ice in this city
' and surrounding towns which had
i been interrupted in places by last
night's unprecedented electric and
wind storm.
Some falling wires at Third and
Briggs street caused a cessation for
a brief space of the service in some
circuits in the upper end of the city.
This occurred during the first storm
and the damage had just about been
repaired when the second storm
caused a similar tie-up a short dis-
I tance away. The electric company's
i motor and motorcycle gangs were on
duty constantly. This also applied to
Steelton and in the vicinity of Pax
! tang.
"We have the damage cleared up
1 I think." said Edgar S. Wallower, su
perintendent of construction to-day,
"our working force was out all night
and this morning. Our lines are in
such shape that as a rule we have
little trouble, but last night's storm
was unprecedented. No, we had no
trouble at the plant, our lightning
I protective system safely guarding the
1 plant and employes from the flashes."
I Has Narrow Escape
Some remarkable stories were be-
I Ing recalled to-day of narrow escapes
i from falling trees, crossed wires,
i etc., during last night's storm but one
I of the most thrilling perhaps was
| told by Squire J. H. Syrock, a clerk
in the county commissioners' office
, whose home is in Eighteenth street
near Walnut.
"During the height of the storm
i we saw an automobile turn the corner
lof Eighteenth and Walnut streets,"
1 said the squire, "which contained two
| men and two women. Just as the car
cleared the corner a tree at the en
trance to Reservoir Park crashed
I across the street, just missing the
! motor car by a bare few inches. The
| occupants probably never knew of
their narrow escape because they
hurried right along."
In the neighborhood of Paxtonia
i the storm did fearful damage and
among the private residences that suf
fered severely was the bungalow of
;E. J. Dare. The roof and the front
\ of this structure were blown off and
: the remallng walls this morning alone
i surrounded the furniture in the bun
j galow.

Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 20.—A terrific
thunderstorm, accompanied by a de
luge of rain, at 6 o'clock on Thursday
evening put an unexpected end to the
! greatest day in the history of the Leb

Antwerp Populace Is
Preparing to Defend
City Against Invaders
By Aseccwted Press
London, Aug. 21, 9.20 A. M. —The
correspondent of the Times at The
Hague says:
"The preparations for the defense
of Antwerp extend over an enor
mous area. All classes in the city are
joining in the work day and night
but there is no sign of panic or con
fusion.
"The gates driven through the
walls by a peace-loving people are
closed while this work of preparation
goes doggedly forward. Antwerp It
self offers a strong contrast. At
almost every window appear English,
Belgian and French flags giving a
festive air to the city which is pre
paring to resist to the last gasp."

7:10 A. M. The captain of a Swedish
steamer which has just arrived from

bombardment of the Russian seaport
by the German fleet:
"It was on a Sunday evening that
the rain of fire began to fall on the
city. The townspeople were thrown in
to a panic. They ran into the streets
and other places because their houses
were falling and burning.
"Fifteen women, who were seated on
a pile of lumber, were all klled by the
explosion of a single shell. The bom
bardment continued for two hours.
Many buildings and bridges were de
stroyed."
Advices from St. Petersburg indicate
that life in the Russian capital runs on
In the ordinary way. The streets, cafes
and amusement places are as crowded
as ever. No additional military pre
cautions have been taken. It is said.
The food supply is described as plenti

"No Democratic candidate, no rep

other Democrats questions of the sin

"The Democratic ticket can be elect

show of success if its candidates, or
any of the leaders of the party, enter
into apy deal with the defamers of
Democracy and the most unfair of
President Wilson's critics as repre
sented by the Washington party, in
Pennsylvania and its national leader,
Theodore Roosevel'.
"The recent primary contest in
Pennsylvania has not been forgotten.
Democratic factions contending for
the several party nominations were
almost equally divided, and there are

contest yet unhealed. We have won

In the interests of this proposed im
possible fusion arrangement, we hope
better judgment will suggest an im

carried out, will again further divide
the Democratic factions, and there
will be renewed whetting of knives by
belligerents who in the interests of
Democracy ought to be working in
harmony.
"It is futile to hope for this Demo

of the Democratic candidates for State
offices can be elected, and in the ab

through appeal to the party loyalty of
Pennsylvania Democrats. If we are
to succeed it must be upon the broad
platform of united devotion to the
Administration of President Wilson.
On that issue the Pennsylvania Dem

can be counted to fight together

Germans, they decide to violate tha

mans are planning to use their war* -
ships to cover the landing of troops
in the Baltic provinces."

Violent neuralgia of tho head gen
erally attacks overworked women who
lack sufficient sleep, fresh air and red

neuralgic pains when they dance too
much and rob themselves of sleep and
open-air exercise.

needs. The one great cause of neu-.
ralgla Is debility with anaemia ot
bloodlessness.
