AN ALARM*. WITH INCIDENTS
About midnight, Jane 19, an
alarm of fire was struck on the engine
house bell and quickly taken up by tbe
Frick and Geiser whistles. The fire
company and tbe hook and ladder company responded promptly and hurried
to tbe corner of Broad and Third
streets, wbere tbey stopped and made
an unsuccessful hunt for tbe conflagration. Tbere was no fire and the
origin of the alarm could not be ascertained. Hundreds of people lumped
out of bed and into scanty clothing
and Joined the firemen in tbe search
for tbe flames.
Tbere was a little grumbling on the
part of people who had been raised
from sound slumber to find tbat tbe
alarm bad been given without reason.
Waynesboro men are always ready to
help fight a fire and extend assistance
to persons ia danger, but they do not
fancy being called from tbeir beds at
midnight without reason. Chief II. C.
Funk, who was at tbe corner of Main
street and Potomac avenue when tbe
alarm was given, hurried to tbe engine
room. No person was tbere and he
does not know who gave the alarm.
He ordered tbe first men wbo came to
inquire by telephones wbere tbe fire
was supposed to be but before they
could do this tiie Geiser whistle blew
and he ordered out tbe apparatus.
Central bouse No. 1; by G. A. R. hall
No. 2; by Foremau & Co's store No. 3;
by National botel No. 4. The taps on
the bell are given to correspond witb
the number of the district.

Damage By Storms Nearby But Waynesboro
Escapes With Slight Shower.
During the ti me of the very light
shower of rain in Waynesboro about
0:15 o'clock, Thursday evening, there
was a fierce wind and rain storm in
Chambersburg, Scotland, Shippensburg and vicinity. -In Cbambersburg
tbe streets were flooded witb water
and near Scotland tbe C V. R. R.
track was submerged to sucb a deptb
tbat trains were delayed an bour and
more.
Tlie Pennsylvania telephone trunk
lines to Harrisburg were out of service tbat nigbt by reason of the storm.
A big tree fell over the wires at New
Franklin and communication with
Cbambersburg and fur* her east was
cutoff. Manager Jacobs started ofl a
repairman at 4 o'clock next morning
and in a few hours the damage was re
paired. The Greencastle trunk line
was also "iu trouble*' because of tbe
storm.
The C. V. telephone lines to Cbambersburg were not affected by tte
storm but the trunk line to Greencastle could nut be used.
The storm in the vicinity of Greencastle was very severe. Further soutb
tbere were exceptionally heavy down-
pourings of rain and almost exaggerated electrical effects.
In the southern part of Washington
county, Md., the wind blew a perfect
gale, doing mucb damage. But little
The fire apparatus was on the street raln mi The l«W"rttog was incessant
in remarkably quick time. The drivers •and 8truck tbe Veiling of Jacob Ren-
were sleeping in tbe second story when ner, m tbe west, end of Sharpsburg,
tbey heard the* alarm and without   knocked off a lot of shingles and
boards, ran down tbe spout into a cistern, the cement cracking and the cistern emptying itself in a short time.
A ball of fire entered the kitchen,
where Mrs. Benner and Mrs. William
Marshall, a widow, were seated. Mrs.
Marshall was badly stunned and
burned about the face.
In Martinsburg, W. Ya , the storm
raged with fury. Tte lighting struck
tbe large grain elevator at the Cumberland Valley freight depot, occupied
and operated by Henshaw & Licklider,
and greatly damaged it. The residence
of A. C Matthaei was also struck and
badly damaged.

\ BIG, NEW HARDWARE FIRM
JOHN Q. CORBETT ANO   J   EDW.
BECK ITS PROPRIETORS.
Chief Director H. C. Funk of the
Mechanics' was rolled around in tbe
dirt in very unceremonious fashion at
the corner of Broad and Second
streets. The rumor down town was
that tte Geiser shops were on fire in
one of tbeir many big departments
and Chief Funk jumped from tbe hose
wagon at Second street. Tbe horses
were going very rapidly and tbe descent of the active little chief to tte
ground was anything but dignified.
He struck on bis feet but bounded up
in tbe air like a rubber ball, it was
in tbe law of nature that he should
get to the ground again but he struck
it broadside and bis momentum carried bim over ten feet of the dusty
street, rolling and wriggling and trying to stop bis uncomfortable mode of
progression and get to his feet. He,
of course, succeeded but be was not a
vision of beauty again until tte dust
that covered bim like a coat bad been
vigorously brushed off.
* *
«
Perhaps the most striking recollection of tbe alarm to many "West Main
street people wil) be that of tte mid-
street, mid-night flight of Jobn Thin
Pye, tte well-known Central bouse
porter. Pye beard tte fire bell strike
twice and some one told bim tbat
meant "second ward" and Pye's mind
immediately conjured up pictures of a
cozy home on Razor alley in flames.
That gave wings to his feet, at least
that's tbe way te characterized it
this morning. But wings or no wings,
Pye took to tte middle of tbe street
and be went toward the public square
at a gait tbat was unusual Out on
tte high seas there are seen, by some
of tte sailors, phantom ships; in certain retired spots white forms are said
to walk at night; while the pictures in
a good edition of Don Quixote show
the flopping and big arms of wind-,
mills in realistic style.
Pye combined tbe three and tte
spectacle was a momentous one* He
wore a white crash suit and the
spreading of tte unbuttoned coat gave
tbe appearance of a fast ship speeding
before tbe Wind, wbile tbe circumambient gesticulations of bis arms could
be well-likened to tbe swirl of a windmill. Moreover, te carried bis cap in
his band and as it swung around witb
bis arm it added to tbe effect, which,
in all truth, was such as to cause every
one to stop, look, laugh. But Pye was
running to save bis borne and the
laugh was a kindly one, even although
one unkind person said tte spectacle
reminded bim of a racing ship of tbe
desert.

Many Waynesboro people havt forgotten the numbers given to tbe fire
districts, by tte recent division of
tbem, and when tte alarm was sounded for the second district believed it
meant tbe second ward. Tbere is an
easy way to remember tbe districts.
r Main and Church streets divide them)
and are on two sides of each. Tte
first district is tte nortbeast, second
tbe southeast, third the southwest,
fourth tbe northwest. The numbers
describe a circle, and may be remembered tbus: District represented by
A JOLLY   BASKET  PICNIC.
A. T. H. A L. Co. Will Revive the Custom
At float Alto la August.
The A. T. H. & L. Co. proposes to
revive tbe old fashioned basket picnic,
early in August, by an excursion to
Mont Alto park, tbat ideal place for
an outing wbere a good meal beneath
huge trees and beside rippling waters
can be en joyed and where long uninterrupted strolls can be reveled in. To
tte basket picnic idea will be added
tte more modern attributes of a day's
pleasure on tte mountain—good music
and a well-waxed dancing floor.
Tbe arrangements thus far made include tte engagement of botb tte
Wayne band and Fl i i 1 har mon ic orchestra. The band will render a concert
program in its superior manner and
tte orchestra will furnish music for
>the dancers. The electric light car
will be at tte park during the evening
and tbere will be dancing until a late
bour. Late trains wiil be run to
Waynesboro and Cbambersburg.
Tte date will be announced in a few
days.

INSPECTORS FOR MILK COWS
COUNCIL   MAY   PASS   AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING TilEn.
Complaints Reach It As  To  Poor  Milk—Dr.
- Stover flay Be Called Upon To I:vamine   Herds   of   Dailry   Cows.
A regular semi-monthly meeting of
Waynesboro council was held Thursday evening. Councilman M. E. Sollenberger was in tne chair, in tbe absence
of President Deardorff, who was prevented from attending by illness in
his family. Councilman W. J.
Foltz was also absent.
Because of tbe absence of these two
members no business other than of a
routine nature was transacted. Bills
were approved and drafts granted.
A number of matters tbat will claim
the attention of council were discussed
but no action was taken.
Among these matters were several
proposed ordinances, which have been
under consideration for some time.
One of these relates to tbe quality
of the milk sold in Waynesboro. Complaints that some of the milk is impure have, reacted the ears of council-
men and a demand bas been made
that some measure te adopted to prevent this. Council will, it is probable,
pass an ordinance making obligatory
stated inspections of herds of cows
from whicb milk is obtained for sale
in Waynesboro. Tbese inspections
may be ordered four times a year and
it is likely tbey will be conducted by
Dr. J. M. Stover, Shady Grove. Dr.
Stover makes tbe inspections of all
cattle brougbt to tbis vicinity from
otter states and to bim the work of
examining tte herds from wbicb
Waynesboro's milk supply is obtained

one thousand feet of tbejbest hose that can be obtained. Tte Fabric
Fire Hose Co. of New York will supply it.
liie hose is treated with wax and gum and will not absorb water. It

The Mechanics* company was in great need of tte additional  hose.
It has only six hundred feet of hose tbat can be relied upon not to

near Potomac avenue, when five stables were destroyed, demonstrated

TROLLEY FRANCHISE
FAVORED BY PEOPLE
But There Must Be Certain Conditions, Of Course—Streets
Must Not Be Ruined By the Tracks,
From Zephyk of June 21.
Waynesboro people are much interested in the proposed construction of
tbe Cbambersburg, Greencastle &
Waynesboro electric street railway.
With President D. M. Good of The
Geiser Manfg. Co. they believe tbat a
troliey over the pike west of town and
tc tte mountain on tbe east will prove
of advantage to it.
C. H. Latta, one of tte directors of
the company declares bis entire confidence that tte road will be constructed at ab early date and says te is
much pleased with the prospects of
the company. The company ha*i, Mr.
Latta asserts, all the money it needs
and will get to work immediately
after tte franchises have been secoppd.
The road, according to Mr. Latta's
figures will cost $500,000 or more. 11
'will be approximately 26 miles long.
There is talk of running a spur from
East Main street to South Waynesboro, or a loop from West Main Street
to South Waynesboro and back to
Main street by way of Broad street or
Clayton avenue.
*
It was expected that application for
a franchise would be made* to the
Waynesboro council yesterday evening
but no one appeared to ask for the
privilege of laying tracks on the street
and council did not discuss tte ques
tion.
As individual" private citizens tbe
councilmen seem favorable to granting a f ranch ise, underproper conditions
of course. Tbey would not give a
franchise under any consideration
unless it was first provided that tte
streets be put in as good condition as
they were before torn up for the laying of tracks. This would include the
paving of tte streets between the
tracks and a foot at least < >n each side
of them and the use of approved rails.
As a body council will not take up
the matter until tte promoters of tte
proposed railroad come before it witb
tte request for a franchise. It is very
likely that council will require that
work be commenced within a specified
time and tbe road beoperated within a
certain period and may entail a ior-
feiture upon failure in either of these
things
Tte people of Waynesboro want a
.trolley and want it very earnestly
and will not oppose tte. granting of a
franchise to responsible men but tbey
will protest against tbe conferring of
sueh a privilege unless there be every
assurance that the company asking
for it means to fulfill its promises
promptly and erect a road.
