MANY HOUSES WERE BLOWN DOWN A Breaker Also Toppled Over and Then CaUKbt Fire School Housob and Churches Also Suffer ABhland Suffered Greatly. If Senator l'elfor and others of tho long whiskered fraternity hail been in Slicnun- doiih last night they would havo felt perfectly nt homo, as tho weather was of a genuine cyclonic character and would havo toyed with their distinguishing growths with homelike velocity. Tlio storm was even mora sovcro than tho recent hall storm that wrecked so many thousand panes of glass. Tho gales wcro snorters nnd left unmistak able traces of their trails in all rarts of tho town this morning. Tho path of tho storm was a wide ono and reports of damago camo In from all rarts of tho county to-day. It is seldom that gales Mow down houses in this region, hut they did it last night at Lost Creek and Ashland. No houses wcro blown down in this town, although several narrowly escared that fato. rortunatcly no loss of life is reported from any point. Appearances this morning Indicated that tho town rested in tho direct path of a genuine cyclono last night. Many buildings wcro stripped of their coverings, chimneys wero wrecked, trees wcro twisted and stripped and tho streets wero covered witli debris. It will take a few thousand dollars to repair tho damage. Tho storm was most sovcro be tween tho hours of 1 and 2 this morning. Tho gales shook buildings like cradles and many people becamo so much alarmed that thoy left their beds and dressed thomsclvos, ready to rush upon the streets should the worst come. To add to their fright, when tho storm seemed to be tho worst, tho firo alarm bell rang, but there was only ono tap. It was caused by tho crossing of wires. It would bo impossiblo to detail all tho damage dono by the storm, it was so general. Tho tin coverings on tho roofs of Maurice Morrison's hotel, on East Centre stiect, and one of tho Egan buildings, on tho same street, wero blown clean olf. Tho same damago was done to tho houso of Joserh Eaimes, on South Main street. I ho root of tho electric light station at tho southern end of Main screet was also badly rirred and one of tho tall smoKo stacks was tilted over dangerously. Tho tin covering from tho Morrison building was ripped in twain, ono part falling on Uniou street to tho east and tho other drop ping down into an alley to tho north. Tho covering from tho Egan building was caught by a group of trolley, electric light and other wires and held suspended twenty feet abovo tho street. It was an object of much attention for several hours to-day. Two chimneys on tho Egan building wero also blown down. Tho cross on tho Greek Catholic church, on West Centro street, was carried from tho steeple. It mado a big hole in tho roof of tho church in its full to the ground. Much of, tiio slato roofing of tho Annunciation church on West Cherry street was carried away and somo of tho slato smashed windows In tho residence of Samuel Itobcrts, on tho opposite sido of tho street. The slato roofs of E. J. lirennan's buildings on Poplar street wero also badly damaged and tho Shenandoah Steam Laundry build ing was badly ripped, The grapo arbor at Thomas llaird's residenco was blown down. A whole sash was carried out of a window of tho German Lutheran church. A tree about sis inches in diameter in front of tho Hess property, on West Lloyd street, was twisted liko a corkscrew. Tho tin covering of a roof at tho Shenandoah Lumber & Feed Com pany's yard was ripped off and carried to tho Lehigh Valley railroad and ono of tho sheds at Fowler's East Coal street yard was blown down. Tho roofs of five or six houses at the flats, on West Coal street lost their coverings. Tho Valley and other points west of town suffered greatly. Tho new school houso at I'rcston o. 3 was blown down and destroyed, and fragments of it wcro carried to Girard villo by tho gales. Tho rear wall of tho new school at houso at Girardville was blown down. At Lost Creek a houso near Noon's crossing of tho electric road was blown upsido down. All members of tho family wero iu bed at tho timo and miraculously escaped injury. Tho breaker at Natalie, about four miloa northwost of Mt. Carmel, was blown down and subsequently consumed by fire. Tho Catholic church at Locust Gap was also blown down, but escaped llro. Tho front of Br. Donahue's drug store at Girardvillo was blown in and wrecked and and tho slush trough at tho Wm. l'enn col liery was blown down. It had just been re paired after having suffered damago from tho hail storm. Ashland was right in tho teeth of the storm. No less than llfty houses wcro un roofed. A resident who watched the effects from a window says ho saw a roof carriod up and down the Main street for a dlstanco of over a hundred foet threo times before the roof finally settled down upon tho street. Ono roof, rafters and, all, was carried cloan across a street, over anothor building and buried Itself iu the roof of a second building. The liuck and Hoover warehousos and tho coflln factory wero badly wrecked. A spiall stablo was carriod somo distanco and then dronned roof down. A pony was In it and when found by the owner was found with its back wedged against tho roof, but the an mnl was comparatively uninjured. Roports from I'ottavillo stato that thoro is hardly a so,uaro mat urn noi coiunume wreckago to the effects of tho storm. Ono houso was unroofed. liingtown also suffered soveroly from the storm. From llfteou to twenty houses woro unroofed and tho steeple- of tho Whito church was blown down. At Wiagans 100 feet of Pennsylvania sta tiou shed was blown down and at Frackvillo tho roofs of several houses woro carried away by the gales. Ono houso which had been partly erected was completely destroyed. No damago was dono ot Gllberton and Delano escaped. Tho storm demoralized tho telegraph and tolenhone svstems. Many wires wero blown down and tho only means oy which toio graphic communication could tie had be tween this town and Philadelphia to-day wbs by patching up a circuit with tho King- town station nnd using the Cntaniwa division. At noon to-day the telephone system letween this town and Pottsvlllo and Ashland was re established. The lino to Delano is still crippled. Tho Sohuylklll Traction lino mis Imdly crippled this morning. No car reached here from Girardville until almost noon and tho line between Girardvillo and Ashland was in a worse condition. Tho Lakesido Electric Hallway suffered littlo damago and ran its irs on schedulo timo all day. Tho top was blown from a freight car at Shenandoah City colliery and tho boardwalk at the Pennsylvania Hallway station was badly damaged. At tho Suffolk colliery a car standing at tho top was blown dou tho slope It struck and demolished a car standing half way down tho slopo and knocked out several sets of timbers. ' Tho roof and all tho doors of Charles Now's slaughter houso near the Cambridgo colliery wero blown off and tho fence was carriod away. Additional reports received this afternoon from Mt. Carmel through indirect sources stato that in addition to tho blowing down and burning of tho breaker at Nattalio cloven houses woro blown over and threo pcoplo wero killed. It is also stated that scvcnil houses wero blown down in addition to tho Catholic church at Locust Gap, but nono of tlieso rumors could bo confirmed to day, on account of the telegraph and tele phono wires being down botween Ashland and Mt. Carmel. Tho Lakesido Hallway waiting station at YatoBvillo went down before tho (gules. TO-NIOHT'S RALLY. All Arrangements Mario For tlio Meeting nt Itohhlus' Opurn House.

In, his rosponso Major McKlnley snld: "It Is Indeed a kind and gonoroui net of comradoshlp that brlntrs on this implous nnt day tho mombers of tho Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' homo, of Sandusky, to this city to pay mo a visit. My comrade, I fully nnd heartily npprocluto It.

I am opposed to cut ting down in pensions in that way. I want the pensioners, who aro among tho largest creditors of tho government, great or small, to bo paid in tho bc.-t money in tho world, dollars wortii ono hundred cents every day and everywhere." A special train of ten coaches brought tho second delegation of tho day. It started from Wnlkcrtown, Ind., ind picked up railroad men In nil brunches of tho work, farmers, mechanics and citizen In general botween that point mid Chicago Junction, O. Tho delegation was pre sented to Major MoKinluynt tho Tubcrnu cloby Judge W. L. Ilonlleld, of Auburn, Ind. In his response tho candidate said In part : "Tho farmers of this country must ap preciate and will appreciate, if they do not already, that wo cannot increase their markets or decreaso tlielr markets or de crease their competition either at homo or nbrond by destroying tho credit of tho country. Wo cannot cut down tlio com petition which they havo In India and Russia nnd tho Argentine Hepulilic, or lncrenso consumption at home of their products by cutting down tho vnluo of tho currency of tho United States. "Tho only ivay tho farmers can liolieno flted is by a larger consuming class. Tlio mints will not furnish tho farmer with more consumers. Ho has tho mo-t profitable market for his produce at homo. Ho Is met in tho markets of tho world by tho products of other lands beyond tho sea. Tho only market ho can rely upon every day of tlio year Is tho American market, and what ho wants to know Is how to mako Hint American market tho best. Ho cannot do it by putting out tho lires of our furnaces. Ho cannot do It by taking business away from tho great railroad lines of tho country. Ho can only Improve tho American market by fa voring a policy that will put ovory man to work who lives beneath our Hag, and put thorn at work at living wages, not tho wngo scnlo of somo other nation of tho world, but tho American scnlo, tho best In tho world.

"I see that tho railways' train service has four distinct organizations probably more that of tho engineers, firemen, trainmen and tho Order of Hnllroad Con ductors, with other organizations aux iliary thereto among tho switchmen and telegraph ojierators. 1 am informed that each of thoso organizations has a depart ment of Insurance, mutual In its charac ter, and conducted and administered by men uf the respective organizations. Tho highest tribute to their business capacity and honosty Is found In tho fact that not one dollar has been lost or squandered. Tho trainmen havo jmld out nearly $.1,500, 000. Tho llrenien have paid out nearly $4,000,000.
