I THIS PAGE MADE OVER FINAL EDITION 1 SEE END OF ROLL ui: Bush Andrew Tests to determine if poisons in Jugan's body Toxicological tests ordered on Monday will help determine what killed a Hazleton man who allegedy. was the target of a poisoning two years ago. The tests were ordered as part of an autopsy that was performed on 72-year-old John Jugan who died on Saturday. Dr. Hugo Valderrama conducted the autopsy at Mercy Hospital in Wilkes-Barre.

The toxicology tests will not be done at the hospital, Andrew J. Piskel, Luzerne County deputy coroner, said. Following the autopsy, Jugan's body was released to the Frank J. Bonin Funeral Home, where calling hours are scheduled for tonight from 6 to 9. His funeral is set for 9 a.m.

The blasts of. tropical air were strong enough to: strip the paint off houses.

As weak sun broke through iir late afternoon, a swath of destruc- tion in residential subdivisions' and farm communities became' evident. Many buildings wera leveled, others badly damaged; Downed trees, utility poles and, live wires blocked streets. On the waterfront, a forest of spindly Austrian pine bordered by coconut palms at the southern tip! of Key Biscayne was denuded. In Homestead, a farm and retirement community about miles southwest of Miami "Homestead Air Force Base nor longer exists," said Toni Riordan, a spokeswoman for the Community Affairs Department.

Response was slow, he said. i "I guess our problem is that, we're not seeing the volume of; evacuation we would like to be; seeing at this point," Krieger said. i Andrew slammed through the': Miami area early Monday with maximum sustained winds of 14Q mph and gusts topping 160 mph.

If the hurricane combines with the remnants of Tropical Storn Lester, movbg from the Pacif-J ic, there was also the possibility of serious flooding in the Midwest, meteorologists said. "At this pobt, all we can do is monitor the storm," Edwards said.

"If it hits, there's a possibility it will be one of the worst recent times." New Orleans sits on a saucer-shaped flood plab guarded by a complicated levee system and workers were closbg 111 flood gates designed to guard the area from floods. However, computer studies, validated by past hurricanes, show a storm like Andrew would bring widespread floodbg throughout the New Orleans area, said Ronnie Jones, a state police spokesman.

Sherrl (Continued from page 1) adults to use for retraining at trade schools or community colleges. These would go to people who had lost their jobs, been notified their jobs were being terminated, or who worked in declining industries and wanted to sharpen their skills. Young men in work clothes at the Lincoln Technical Institute booed when Bush singled out Clinton's idea to finance job training through the new tax on employers.

"He sees job training as a tax raiser and he wants to tax workers to pay for their own training and tax small business this is the one that's the worst taxing small businesses around the country 1.5 percent," Bush said, speaking to about 700 students and faculty members inside a cinderblock mechanics shop. Wedding (Continued from page 1) family and we will be happy." Arrangements for today's wedding approximated the deployment of a medium-sized army. Church officials arranged fleets of buses and chauffeur-driven cars. Caterers were fixing thousands of box lunches, and decorators were bringing in flowers by the truckload. A sports stadium might not be the most romantic possible wedding spot.

But Nora Spurgeon was guessing she'd mist up like any mother of the bride when she and her husband Hugh watch their 20-year-old daughter Andrea take her vows especially since they themselves were married in a mass "Moonie" wedding. When the Spurgeons tied the knot back in 1970, though, it was an intimate affair featuring only 777 couples. The church says more than 400 of the brides and grooms being married today are the offspring of parents who were matched and married by Moon. Food (Continued from page 1) Moumtzis, who visited camps in border areas, said some of the refugees who arrived Sunday reported that others stayed behind to wait for relief food after hearing about the aid efforts on the radio. But Moumtzis said a warlord from the Somali Patriotic Movement claimed the refugees' route was cut by fighting between his forces and other factions.

Claims about the fighting in Somalia are impossible to confirm because of the difficulties and dangers of traveling to remote areas. U.S. officials said. plans called for planes to deliver more than 300 tons of grain and other food Monday for Kenyan drought victims and the nearly 400,000 refugees mainly Somalis in U.N.-run camps along the border. Burglars try to cut into roof of bank Burglars who were trying to cut a hole in the roof of a bank at the Church Hill Mall were foiled when an alarm sounded early Saturday morning, state police reported.

Criminal investigators at Troop in West Hazleton said the aborted break-in took place at a branch office of First Eastern Bank at 4:20 a.m. Police said someone was using a sharp instrument to cut a hole in the roof when the bank's alarm sounded. The burglar or burglars immediately fled, police said. Five troopers went to the scene, along with members of the Hazle Township Volunteer Fire Co. which provided lifts to help the officers get onto the roof.

Trooper Daniel Gentile conducted the initial investigation, assisted by Trooper George Fulton from the criminal units Records Identification Section, and Troopers John Schmidt, Tom McAndrew, Davis Cusatis and Edmond Fret. Police are asking for help from anyone who might have seen someone leaving the mall area at the time the alarm sounded. Information can be telephoned to the police at 459-3890.

Sisters, Children and Grandchildren of heart ailments, but a plot to kill him was alleged last month. The plotters slipped an overdose drugs into Jugan's iced tea on Sept.

2, 1990, said police, who charged Jugan's nephew, George Zakovitch and niece, Barbara Bezick, with attempted murder in July. Legal papers and testimony from the case and a case involving theft of Jugan's property indicates that Jugan never drank the iced tea. Zakovitch, Bezick and Bezick's husband Richard also face charges of stealing $7,000 from Jugan's strongbox. Since Jugan's death, Hazleton police and investigators from the office of Luzerne District Attorney Peter Paul Olszewski have researched the case. complicated by allegations of child abuse and Allen's romance with Farrow's 21-year-old adopted daughter.

At the request of both sides, cameras won't be allowed inside the courtroom, a judge ruled Monday. The hearing, which doesn't require attendance by either Allen or Farrow, will deal with scheduling and other organizational issues. Farrow spokesman John Springer said the actress planned to attend, but he wasn't sure why. Allen spokeswoman Leslee Dart said he wouldn't be there. Funeral Funeral services for Clarence W.

(AP) The Associated Press reported erroneously on Aug. 21 that a new study had found a dramatic drop in the amount of oil spilled in U.S.
