ALLENTOWN SHAKEN AND FLOODED A Large Barn in Upper Macungie Burned to the Ground from the Effects of a Stroke of Light-ningTrees Uprooted.

The storm which broke over the county so suddenly yesterday after noon was the worst for a long time. The elements were decidedly violent. The rain came down as if poured out of overhead buckets. The worst damage occurred at Haafsville, a mile and a half west of Fogelsville, where the barn owned by P. H.

Albright and Jacob A. Schwoy-er, was struck by lightning and totally destroyed. The farm is tenanted by Joseph Hunsicker. The family and William Titlow, a carpenter, who was there repairing the roof of the house and the barn, were in the house at the time the lightning struck the barn. They had not noticed the stroke.

Some one smelled smoke. The door was opened and then they saw that the barn was in flames. They rushed out and saved a number of horses and cows, but two colts, a cow and a calf were burned. The wagons were also saved, but the barn, which was about 40 by 75 feet; shed, which held the length of three wagons, and the pig stable were destroyed. The corn crib was turned over and saved.

The property was formerly tbe old Samuel Smith homestead. After it passed out of the Smith family it was bought by Jonas Bastian, who sold it to his sons-in-law, Messrs. Albright and Schwoyer. The loss is fully covered by insurance in the Farmers' Union Mutual Fire Insurance of Trexlertown. in which the entire property, including house, barn and other buildings are insured for $4450.

It was a bank barn and most of the stones can be used for rebuilding the walls. The barn can be replaced for from $1500 to $1800. The owners have asked the insurance company to adjust at once so they can rebuild before harvest. FIELDS WASHED OUT. The storm was worst along a line from Guthsville to Macungie.

Any number of trees were struck by lightning and scores of trees were blown down all over the county. The country roads were transformed into creeks and at depressions in the roads regular lakes were formed. Many -corn neias were terribly washed out. In Allentown, Hamilton Street was gutter-full a few minutes after the storm broke. Trees were blown down in many parts of town.

While the storm was at its height, a bolt of lightning struck a wire near Arbogast P.astian's meat house, in the First Ward. This caused the ringing of the alarm from Box 5, at Second and Ham ilton Streets. Chief Grim was quickly at the scene, followed by the Allen, chemical engine and Rescue truck. Fortunately their services were not needed. Lightning struck the electric light wire at Charles Reinsmith's saloon, on North Seventh Street, at 5.30 last evening.

The bolt struck a wire on the outside leading to the ceiling in the saloon. The flash caused big commotion in the saloon, and the metal ceiling which C. H. Colin, the owner, had put in lately, was soon melted away about the spot. The flames then attacked the ceiling and continued in a line, about three feet long, to a steam pipe.

Mr. Cohn was in the room. He let the wire burn out and then extinguished the fire. The damage is small, but might have been serious had the fire occurred at night. He Forgot the Gnn Was Loaded.

Abner Cline, of Terre Hill, Lancaster County, was shot through forgetting that his ride was loaded. His target practice being interrupted by his wife's call to dinner, he rested the gun against the house until after dinner. Then he began cleaning the weapon, forgetting it was loaded, and it was accidentally discharged, the ball mutilating his right hand terribly. WEATHER INDICATIONS.

SUCCUMBS SUDDENLY TO HEART DISEASE While Returning With His Wife from Fairview Cemetery in Yesterday's Storm Mary Walterand Isaac K. Stresser Also Called. The large death roll in Allentown the past few days was increased yesterday afternoon by the sudden demise of James B. Roeder, of the Second National Bank. Hla death came with startling suddenness.

Mr. Roeder attended to his duties at the bank yesterday and was as cheerful as usual. Latterly he and his wife had discussed the advisability of buying a cemetery lot. At the close of business hours yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Roeder met him at the bank by agreement and they went to Fairview Cemetery.

On their return, they were overtaken by the sudden storm. They took the lane leading from Fairview Cemetery to T. K. Kline's farm. Mrs.

Roeder ran ahead, into the barn. The hired men were at work there and wanted to close the door. Mrs. Roeder said they should wait a minute as her husband was coming. Mr.

Roeder, however, did not arrive. After several minutes had elapsed, they looked down the lane and saw Mr. Roeder lying on the ground. The men hurried to where he was lying. He was unconscious and moaning.

He expired as they were carrying him into the house. Death was due to heart disease. Undertaker Wonderly was sent for and he removed the body to the Roeder home at No. 118 North Fifth Street. Mrs.

Roeder was terribly shocked and almost prostrated by her husband's sad death. Mr. Roeder suffered from heart disease for several years. He had been under the treatment of Dr. Pepper, of Philadelphia.

It is supposed that overexertion in running for shelter brought on the fatal attack. Mr. Roeder was born in Upper Mil-ford. May 11, 18S8, and brought his age to 58 years, 1 month and 22 days. He was a son of the late George and Margaret Roeder.

As teller of the bank, he became very widely known and was universally re spected. He was a great student of currency problems and was an expert i in handling and detecting money.

He was very attentive to business and his experience of a generation gave him a leading position in banking circles. Mr. Roeder occupied many positions of i trust with credit and fidelity. He was I several times treasurer of building associations and was the executor of the celebrated Brobst estate. For many years he was treasurer of the Allentown Foundry Machine Co.

After the congratulations, the guests took their places in the dining room and partook of a sumptuous dinner. The bridal cake was decorated with flowers and was as "good as it was beautiful."

Sowden Is Still Somewhat Rampant. A Leader reporter yesterday had the pleasure of a half hour's visit to the place which Landlord Henry Peter, of Claussville, has prepared for to-morrow's county meeting. It is a delightful spot. Mr. Peter had contemplated using a grove only a hundred yards from the hotel for the meeting.

He changed his mind and will use this place for the safe keeping of teams. The meeting will be held in a piece of woodland belonging to hisj obliging Democratic neighbor, Levi Werley, the old-time carriage manufacturer. It is located 200 yards from the hotel. The place has been completely cleared of Underbrush and a speakers' stand has been erected and sufficient benches to seat half of little Lehigh's Democracy and a liberal sprinkling of Republicans. Overhead the shade is so dense that on a warm afternoon one wants to linger there regardless of politics or business.

The interior of the old hotel doesn't look at all like itself. Barring the good things for to-morrow's feast the tables are already in order four in one room, three in the econd and two in the third. In. the hotel yard is a 50 feet long table over which Mr. Peter was yesterday putting a tenit for dining purposes.

In Allentown the talk is all politics, in Claussville it was all preparations for the dinner. Mr. Peter has revised his plans. He will be able to take care of 600 horses. He has arrangements with 60 people to work for him to-morrow.

One couldn't help admiring the 43 turkeys. 60 'chickens and four calves which Mr. Pelter has pooped and stabled on his premises for slaughter. The hotel vegetable garden will also yield up its treasures for to-morrow's feast. An ample supply or tnree Kinus iv r.n, Viand inWnriina in barrels of the new Allentown Brewing product, which Landlord Peter says is very popular in the neighborhood.

From all appearances, since the clearing up of the weather this morning, the roads will tie in splendid condition to-morrow. It now looks as if the leaders of the Democracy Would agree on Chairman Kline's conciliatory policy toward the gold bugs and that they will be brought back into the fold. There was a meeting last night, which was attended by Messrs. Kline, Sowden, Wright, Harvey, DMlingcr, Dewalt, Stine, Rupp, Schwartz and others. All were per- --ticfiori with Tr Kline's con 'n nt ATr Sowden.

jJr Sowden is still somewhat rampant, i H1, in.t mlite as unforgiving toward the gold bugs as was expected, tj nmhahlv fr vo pn nterestiner talk at the county meeting in exploiting his ideas and then agree with the chairman's plan of campaign. All in all it now looks as if the resolutions could be formulated to-night and that the county meeting will agree upon them to-morrow. DROWNED OUT WEST. Body of a Former Allentoniau Found in lake Michigan. Last Saturday Mrs.
