Tuesday morning the pavements in and around the park were literally covered with angle worms, one of the features of any noteworthy storm in this vicinity. When the storm came up Kdward Barry, road supervisor of Young township, was repairing a culvert in the vicinity of Horatio. His bugg\ . which was standing near the road attached to the horse, was overturned by the wind and it was due to the tinexcitableness of the animal that Mr Barry was not left to walk home through the storm. Everything that was not firmly anchored in the vicinity of Horatio was turned topsy turvv. North and east of Punxsutawne; farm property and timber suffered damages equally as extensive. While making his rounds near Aaron Hopkins' farm, in McCalmont township, rural mail carrier W. I'. Brady nar rowly escaped a tree which was blown across the road shortly after he had passed. The storm which pa; <1 over tin vicinity at about two o • lock }> m., the same day, was mor general and caused much damage to farmers. Phillip Harold's barn, about a mile south of Punxsutawney, was completely demolished, and his cattle were buried in the debris. They wen rescued later, however, not much the worse for the expedience. Stump and rail fences in that'locality were scattered to four winds and man> fruit trees were uprooted. During the same stoi m lightning struck the barn of William Robinson, of the Robinson Hardware Company, and injured one of his hoist s so badly that it is feared the animal cannot receiver. The othei horse escaped with a slight injury to one «»t' its ears which now hair s limp as though it had become paralyzed . Mr. Frew had but recently cleared his home of all encumbrances and had contemplated making arrangements for an additional $50u insurance. The family w cared for at the house of John Caldwell .Monday night and on Tuesday went to the home of Mrs. Frew's patents. Mr. and Mrs. James C. C.reen, of 12ns t Knd Mr. and M Creen did not learn of their daughter's mi fortune until Tuesday morning. The fire companies, which were holding a meeting at the time responded to an alarm but the dwelling being located at least 3,una feet from a water plug their apparatus could not be used. Several of the firemen went to the scene of the conflagration and rendered much needed assistance in saving the barn and outbuildings. None of the occupants of the house were seriously injured, although considerably stunned. The Are in the kitchen was easily extinguished but before the blaze upstairs had been discovered the flames had made so much headway that the Are soon passed beyond control. Mrs. Frew, who was preparing to go to bed in an upper chamber, gave an alarm which was responded to by her neighbors, who succeeded in getting the organ, sewing machine kitchen stove and a dish cupboard to a place of safety. All of the other household goods and the dwelling, valued at about $1,500, were completely destroyed. Insurance $500. The bolt of lightning passed down a chimney into the dining room setting Are to the contents of a clothes press in an upper room. In the kitchen it passed over the floor igniting a sofa cover. Mr. Frew was on night duty as niortorman in the Adrian Mine at the time of the storm and the house was occupied by his wife and two children and Mr. Frew's father, Muir Frew. During a severe storm which passed over this vicinity Monday niyht at about H o'clock, James Frew's dwelling on Scotland avenue, near the Young township line, was set on Are by a bolt of lightning and burned to the ground.
