The reasons for his being absent have just come to light and the story is one that will be read with interest. It appears that for some time the man, who has long since passed the. meridian of life, has been en- amored of a fair young damsel who also resides in West Sayre. The girl is said to be only eighteen and unusually good looking, The man, who is married, and has a grown up daughter, is said to have recently received a letter from the girl, in which she ac knowledges receiving a sum of money and also refers to a dia~ mond ring, costing $40, which he had purchased for her, Unfortu- nately for the man the letter in some umaccountable manner fell into his wife's hands, and then the tur flew. A diamond ring pure chased by a man for a woman other than his wife is particularly conducive to exciting the green eyed monster to activity, and this case was no exception to the rule. The letter also named a date for a meeting and contained little nothings that did not tend to soothe the injured feelings of the wife, Upon learning that the telltale letter had fallen into the hands of his better half and also fearing the wrath of the girl's father, the man in the case quictly gathered up his personal effects, and like the Arab, stole away in the night. He went to Elmira, at least he was traced that far by members of the family ; but a diligent inquiry failed to elicit any further information as to where he had gone. The letters which he had sent to the girl \1 question have been placed in the hinds of a well known lawyer, but as the principal in the affair is missing it is difficult to determine just what the lawyer can do. The story has created no end of talk among those who are ac- quaioted with the facts and the scandalmongers and gossips have been busy night and day since the affair came to their notice. TURNED ON THE HOSE Yesterday afternoon two men went to a well known livery stable to secure a rig. It is alleged that both were in an intoxicated condi- tion, one of them being “more so" than the other. The proprietor of the stable was away, and in his absence his wife attends to the business of letting rigs. When she saw the condition of the men she refused to let them have a rig. Then she alleges that the men bes came abusive to her 11-year-old daughter, and when she told them to leave the premises they refused. She picked up a hose which was handy and one of the men was given a drenching. © Then hé left.

At that place a creck wash- ed a large quantity of gravel onto the tracks. In one place the tracks were covered for a distance of nearly fifty feet, and at another point the road bed was covered for a considerable distance. Passenger trains were run over the D. L. & W. to Waverly, and it was not un- til early this morning that the tracks were cleared. : The village of Smithboro was also hit hard. A small creek which runs to the north of the town over- flowed its banks, washing away two barns and several outbuildings. Many gardens were destroyed, wagon roads were badly damaged and the entire town felt the effects of the severe storm. The storm raged for nearly two hours and it is regarded as the worst storm of the present season. Later advices from Smithboro say that the damage wrought by the storm at that place is extensive A creck which runs at right angles through the center of the town caused all the trouble. Over the creck in the business part of the town is a concrete bridge and the space underneath was not large enough to allow the immemse vols ume of water to go through. The water backed up into the town and soon the water in the main street was several feet deep. A haystack came down from the hillside and when it reached the bridge was diverted, finally landing directly in front of the postoffice. The post- office was submerged and there were several feet of water on the floor. Private residences also suf: fered badly, as did pigs, fowls and small livestock. Old inhabitants say that the storm was the worst ever experis enced in that section. A huge black cloud resembling a water- spout hung over the hill to the north, and for over an hour it poured forth torrents, Owego is also said to have suf fered extensively from the storm, and on Hiawatha Island two barns were struck by lightning and burned, Ll PERSONAL MENTION Delmar Higgins 3f the Park ho- tel is in Elmira on business today. -- Miss Clara Stevens of Cayuta street has returred from NewYork.
