While no heavy material dam- I age was reported in the city and sub- I urbs. farmers throughout Central i Pennsylvania report their crops suf- I tired from the storm ana hail. In some districts heavy falls of I hail were reported, which cut to I pieces young cornstalks. In the sec tions where hail was not reported practically the same results were caused by the heavy downpour of rain. Washouts were frequent in many of the country districts. A large barn owned by W. L,. Rabuck, of near Shoop's Church, was struck by lightning and completely destroyed. The tire started shortly alter 9 o'clock and burned for al most two hours. The total loss on the building and implements will probably be $2,000, coveted by insur ance. All livestock was rescued. The glare of the flames was seen for miles. Telephone communication with several out-of-town districts was cut oft. Gardens Damaged and Cellars Flooded by Series of Storms Marietta, Pa., June 21.—Yesterday afternoon a terrific storm visited the town and did considerable damage. It was estimated that five storms raged in a space of not quite an hour, and when two of them met the worst damage followed. The damage by water and wind was great. Market street from end to end resembled a river, and at the eastern end water came over lots and fields, flooded houses and finally rushed on to the river. At one place five feet of street and pavement were washed away, and in a number of homes the water reached the first floor and ruined carpets, rugs, etc. The sew ers were not large enough to carry away the downpour, and cellars are full. Evans Creek, which flows through Marietta, was up to the street, and in its path chickens were drowned and considerable damage done. A fine lot of 150 chickens belong ing to Edward Lutz, along this stream, were saved by Truman Sei- I pie and Franklin Smith, who waded i in water to their waists and dragged | them to safety. Limbs of trees were blown against the houses, and wires broken. On the Fletcher farm a bolt of lightning struck, but no damage fol lowed. In many places the roads are torn up, making driving impossible. Hail as large as marbles fell, and with each storm they seemed to get larger. Window panes were broken, and in town many persons lost chickens by drowning. The trolley service was tied up for about three hours from washouts. Chickies Creek is overflowing its banks, and men are watching the bridge which spans it to prevent an accident. At Maytown, aside from heavy i downpours of rain there was no damage of any consequence. Several trees were blown down and the roads are washed. At Bainbridge and Ro wenna the creeks overflowed their banks and washed the gardens bad ly. Fruit trees in many sections are stripped of their branches, and vege tation suffered. ! Crops and Fruits Are Damaged in Cumberland Carlisle, Pa., June 21. Heavy damage to crops and fruit was caused by a storm which swept this section yesterday afternoon. The riain damage was in a limited area just east of Carlisle. Fields were flooded, crops cut to pieces by hail, which fell in some sections, and other damage was caused. At the farm of Frank Bosler 100 chickens were killed and the fruit orchards damaged. A bolt of light ning wrecked the power plant of the Frog, Switch and Manufacturing Company and caused a temporary suspension of business. Cellars were flooded and the grounds at the coun try estate of Dr. H. T. Sadler were filled with water three feet deep and men were able to boat on the big lawn. BARN STRUCK Shippensburg, Pa., June 21.—The heaviest storm of the season passed over Shippensburg last night. The barn on the farm owned by Herbert Allison was struck by lightning. Some hail fell. Harrisburg Pastor Makes Address at Lutheran Convention at' Chicago Chicago, June 21. —Pennsylvania delegates took a prominent part in the convention of the Federated Council of I-iUtheran Brotherhoods, which ended its sessions here late yesterday. The council closed by re electing all its old officers. The closing address was made by the Rev. L. C. Manges, of Harrisburg, Pa. "This country has no greater ene my," said the Rev. Mr. Manges, "than the person who shouts at the waving of the flag and then closes his pocketbook and withholds the giving of his own blood or the blood of his son. "We need something deeper and nobler than ability to make the eagle scream. I noticed in one of the celebrations in the East a build ing which had more flag decorations on it than any other and from which came the most shouts, but on closer inspection I saw it was a sa loon. Does anybody imagine that the saloon was really patriotic or is it more likely the saloon was bid ding for trade?" "In these perilous times the church must stop parading in eccle siastical regimentals and put on spir itual khaki and get to work." JAP CITY WIPED OUT By Associated Press Tonezawa, Japan.

The law gives county commissioners the power to construct and maintain such an institution either on grounds of the county p'oorfarm or In other localities not within or close to the built-up portion of any city, borougn or village. The health bureaus of Harrisburg and Steelton, at a Joint meeting yes terday, unanimously agreed that .such a hospital is needed and will com municate with the county officials. Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health officer, for years has urged the city .TUNE 21, 1917. to erect a municipal disease hospital, but no definite action ever has been taken. Mt lie Approved by State Under the new act, the plans and specifications for the hospital may be prepared by the county commissioners and must be approved by the state health commissioner. The building may be erected and equipped at the expense of the county and is to he conducted and maintained under the authority of the directors of the poor. Another section <>r the law provides that whenever in the opinion of health authorities of any city or borough in a county having a contagious dis ease hospital, proper quarantine meas ures cannot be otherwise enforced, the county officials have authority to re move cases of contagious disease from private residences and other place# to the hospital. Should the county commissioners decide to build a hospital it would provide proper isolation for serious contagious disease cases, not only from Harrisburg and Steelton, but Ironi all the other borough and small er towns in the county, the health officials pointed out. Medical men of the city and county for years have advocated the estab lishment of a sanitary hospital for contagious disease cases to prevent the spread of a serious epidemic. 5
