Yesterday afternoon's storm was one of the most severe that has visited this territory for a number of months and considerable damage was the result. Sewers were not capable of carrying off the flow of water, so great was the fall, and soon streets were either running streams or small sized lakes.

Trees were blown down in a number of places and cellars in various portions of the town were flooded while lightning struck in various lo calities. A barn owned by Fred Boos, of Hughestown. and situated on Ken ley street, in that' place, was struck by lightning during the storm and set on fire, with the result that it was totally destroyed. Several, pigs that were kept in the barn were "killed by the bolt of lightning. The Stove Works on William street suffered from the rain huge quantities of water pouring into the workrooms and preventing the men from working, while Donnelly's cafe, on'South Main street, was flood ed, several inches of water being on the floor of the bar room.

On the West 8id, the sewers were inadequate to carry off the water, and several places along Luzerne avenue water flooded the streets to the depth of several inches, sidewalks and lawns in some places were covered by the overflow. So great was the volume of water that poured from the opening of the Luzerne avenue sewer at. the bridge that a hole 20 feet in diameter and five feet deep was washed into the earth at that point. The double house owned by C. J.

Sickler, at the corner of Philadelphia and Wyoming avenues, suuered at tbe hands of the storm, the entire ridge frescoe on the roof being ripped off. In falling, the boards that composed the ridge crash ed into a window and completely ru ined it. A large tree in front of the Llewellyn property, on Susquehanna avenue, was blown and a small tree on the lawn at Thomas Monle's home, on Philadelphia avenue, was broken. A house owned by a man named Rocbe, and situated on Washington Terrace, was injured by the lightning. A bolt struck one corner of the roof, tearing a hole in the building.

The damage will not amount to so very miuch. Nearly every person who bas fruit trees on their property reports great ioss in fruit blovn from the trees and ruined. Many dollars' worth were destroyed in' this manner. BLOOMSBURQ'S CENTENNIAL. Will be Celebrated in an Elaborate Manner Next Week.

MAY NOT BE PAINTED. Junction Depot Apt to Remain Dis graceful Looking for a Time. For several weeks imst a force of painters ill the employ of the it L. W. Co.

has been engaged tn decorating the stations along the Bloomsburg division, many of them needing reju venating very badly. A standard color of dark red. with black tdmming and pale blue lining for the ceilings of the porch roofs, has lieen used at all stations, and those at West Pittston and Susquehanna avenue look very much Improved. The freight station at the Junction also looks fine, but the joint depot of the Lackawanna and Valley, at that point, still appears dingy and dirty, as it has for years. The chances are that it will remain that way.

While the Lackawanna company desires to paint the building its standard color, the Valley people object, and there the matter stands. When the station was last painted the standard colors of the Valley were used, and It Is really the turn of the Lackawanna people now to paint the building.

F. Clark, a Wilkesbarre photog rapher, a few days ago sent to President Baer, of the Reading, a letter ap pealing to the religious side of his na ture and asking him to consider his Christian duty with reference to the propositions for a settlement of the miners' strike. In reply, he received a letter from Mr. Baer as follows "I do not know who you are. I see that you are a religious marr': but yon are evidently biased in favor of the worklngman to control a business in which he has no other interest than to secure' fair wages fo? tne work he does.

I beg of you not to be discour aged. Tbe rights and interests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for not by the labor agitators, but by the Christian men to whom God in His infinite wisdom has given the control of tbe property interests of. the country, and upon the successful man agement of which so much depends; Do not be discouraged. Pray earnestly that right may triumph, always "re membering hat the Lord God Omnip otent still reigns, and that His reign is one of law and order, and not of violence and crime." Strikers gathered in force yesterday at the Klondike washery, near Park View, in the Hazleton region, which has been in operation for several weeks, and drove back the men who were on their way to work. It was necessary to suspend work at the wash ery.

The Council of Allied Building Trades, of Philadelphia, has procured over 500 glass contribution boxes, which will be used to secure money for the anthracite strikers. They will be placed in hotels, restaurants, drug stores' and office buildings, and the council hopes to collect $1,000 a week by this means. The presidents of the anthracite roads held their weekly conference in New York yesterday. After the meet ing, President Tniesdale, of the. Lack awanna, made the following state ment for publication: "There is no foundation in fact for the rumor that the anthracite coal operators will make concessions in order to end the strike.

I think work will be resumed in time to produce plenty of coal for the fall demand. The operators are. ready, as they have always been, to adjust with their men any grievance that they may have and they have never dis criminated against any of their men because they have belonged the ua ion. What the operator's will not do is to discuss their business affairs' with outsiders." The wholesale price of anthracite coal in New York was advanced again yesterday. Stove coal now sells for $10 a ton in the metropolis and $11 a ton for the larger; sizes, Oil and gas stoves at Ash's, N.

Wrk was resumed at the Warnke wasfiery this morning and the first car of prepared coal to be turned out since the strike was declared fifteen weeks ago, was run through the chutes and the car run out on the "siding at ex actly 9:30 o'clock. There was abso lutely no trouble up to 11 o'clock, al though there were a couple of hundred men and boys hanging around the streets in the vicinity of the washery. This was no doubt due to the fact that Sheriff Jacobs and four deputies were on the ground. rne plant was put in operation about 8 o'clock writh a force of in the neighborhood of twenty four men, the same number and the same men that were at work last Thursday when the riot took place. A number of these men are employes who assist in the working of the plant, while the others were used as guards and all were heavily armed.

No demon siration greeted the commencement of work, probably owing to the pres ence of Sheriff Jacobs and a dozen deputies. While there was a good sizt crowd on Main' street, near the Intersection of Stevenson street, very few of the men ventured up the latter thoroughfare in the direction of the washery. In fact a casual observer would have thought tbat they had no interest whatever in the operation of the plant. About nine o'clock the three bicycle pickets maintained by the Lackawan na contingent, arrived on the scene and after seeing that the plant was working immediately started for whence they came. WJthln an hour the crowd hanging around the streets was augmented by the arrival of groups of two and three from up the valley, evidently sightseers.

No dem onstration of any nature was made' during the morning hours and when Chief Deputy Rodda of the Sheriff's office was seen he said that he did not anticipate any trouble inasmuch as there were two organizers of the Mine Workers on the ground, one of them an Italian from Scranton and the other Anthony Schlosser, of Duryea, who had charge of the work among the Poles. Both of these men. he said had been warning the strikers to keep away from the plant and let It work and he thought that they had consid erable influence among the men. Several young men who were hang ing around the place were engaged in conversation by the reporter and they said that all that was necessary to prevent the washery from continuing In operation, was to remove the dep uty sheriffs for an hour or so. Ac cording to their story that was what tbe crowd was waiting for, when a single stone thrown, would start all the trouble that could be desired.

It is problematical, however, whether or not the deputies will do as they did last week and leave the scene for a couple of hours. They have had one lesson and will hardly take the chances on a second one. Duryea was quiet this afternoon. and coal was being turned out from the washery the same as in days of yore. There were no demonstrations up to that hour.

Reports from Wilkes barre and Scranton indicate that all remains quiet in those localities. George White, outside foreman at the Pancoast colliery, Throop, yester day caused the arrest of three foreign speaking strikers, charging them with assault and battery, pointing firearms and inciting to riot. The arrest grew out of trouble at the Pancoast colliery last week. Two of the men were committed to jail and the third was re leased on hail. The Dodge and Cayuga collieries are working regularly and maintaining good output," is the official report of the coal department officials of the Lackawanna Co.

President John Mitchell was in Chi cago laRt jjight. He is expected to rearh Wilkesbarre tomorrow. instnct I'resKieni address ed a meeting of miners at Moosic last evening and will speak at Throop to morrow. The People's Alliance, of Hazleton, at Its meeting on Thursday night, will elect delegates who will be Instructed to 'act with similar representatives from other coal region towns in a Joint convention to be held at some central point not yet agreed upon. At this meeting plans will be arranged for bringing together the operators and the miners, with a view of settling the coal strike.

At the conference between the Public Alliance committee, of Wilkesbarre, and Senator Quay, In Atlantic City, on Monday night. Robert Armstrong, of this city, acted as chairman of the committee. He explained the object of the visit, saying that they came as business and professional men to ask the Pennsylvania Senators to use their good offices to settle the strike. Senator Quay made Inquiries as to the demands of the miners, but the committee was not prepared to furnish the desired information, and referred him to President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers. Mr.

Quay said that, although the majority of the coal operators concerned were residents of New York, he would do all in his power to bring about a settlement. Thomas president of District No, 7, of the United Mine Workers, Smart Costumes Worn by River. Hill and Shore. Gowns more or less on the sailor model for the river and tbe shore loom up among the Important fashions of tbe day. The toilet in special demand must be a smart one, which will bear at once the scrutiny of critical eyes and the chance exigencies of the weather.

Bearing these latter In mind, experi ence dictates wool as the principal factor.

Also wisdom advises tbe adoption of some form of bolero or coat worn over the thinnest of silk slips, for sudden chills or unexpected winds are apt to come up. Two marked features in the latest gowns ore evident to the observant eye.

The first Is tbe prevalence of tbe narrowest of plain front gores in skirts, elaboration at tbe hem in the shnpe of flounces, strappiugs, embroid eries or, newest of all, an apparent multiplication of underskirts, starting from either side of it. Tbe second Is tbe rage for little inner vests to open coats of all descriptions, these latter sometimes taking the form of practi cally a straight, narrow slip, almost after tbe fashion of an officer's mess Jacket, sometimes formed practically into a cravat. Very charming is the effect of the accompanying Sketch, which shows both these details carried out in white serge or cloth with the knotted cravat vest In pale blue silk spotted with white and a corselet band of the same and one which, while keeping on lines of almost utlllturlau simplicity, yet Strikes a note of reasonable smartness.
