Parties strowing a grave in
the hillside cemetery with flowers
last Monday, noticed close by where
the earth had evidently recently been
disturbed. Slightly scratching the
loose soil they saw a gunny sack.
Examination showed that in the
gunny sack was a smaller sack, such
as rye flour comes in; further exami
nation showed that there was a
starch box, and upon inspection they
were horrified to find that in the box
was the five months foetus of a male
child. The ghastly nnd lias occa
sioned considerable surprise and
speculation, and it is thought the
matter will be further inquired into.

DESTBUCTION AND LOSS OP LIFE.
FrrTSBuna, May 29. The storm
which swept over eastern Ohio, west
Virginia and western Pennsylvania
yesterday afternoon was of a very de
structive character, and the aggre
gate loss to buildings, crops and rail
road and telegraph lines will foot up
many thousand dollars. Several lives
were also sacrificed end a number of
persons injured. About Point Pleas
ant and Huntington, West Virginia,
at Canton, Ohio, Beaver county.Penn
sylvania, and through the oil regions,
the storm was particularly severe,
hail falling in masses while the wind
was very violent. Near Ravenswood,
West Virginia, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Powell were killed by lightning while
sitting in their home at Chandlerston
West Virginia. Mrs. Robert Shan
non was killed by a falling tree at
Bridgeport Ohio; a six-year-old son
of Joseph Powell was caught by a
rush of water in a narrow ravine and
drowned, and his two companions
made a narrow escape. At Bellaire,
Ohio, a railrord brakemrn named
Castello was killed while trying to
manahe a train during a storm. At
Canton, Ohio, houses were lifted
from their foundations and the
steeples of several churches were
wreoked. The south wing of the
New Hampton watch works, 1,200 feet
in length and three stories high, was
blown down and is a total wreck. The
Dueber watch case works are badly
damaged.
At Oil City the roof of the Arling
ton hotel was blown off and the
guests rushed from the building
panio stricken. Titusvillo also suf
fered severely.
Frank Burchfield of Pleasantville,
while crossing Pine creek bridge in a
buggy, was blown over into tho
water. The vehicle was reduced to
splinters and the horse lifted bodily
and carried 100 yards away.
About this city the storm was not
so heavy but specials from many
other points represent hail falling as
large as hens' eggs.
The telegraph lino is down badly
and in many places tho railroad tracks
are covered with debris from tho
rains.
The damage to orchards has been
particularly heavy: many of the trees
in the regions visited by hail being
stripped of every leaf and other crops
in the same area are correspondingly
damaged, Tho total loss will proba
bly reach several hundreds of thous
ands of dollars
MORE OF IT.
Chicago, May 29. Dispatches re
ceived this morning show a destruc
tive rainstorm prevailed all through
Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota,
Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska Sunday
and yesterday In Illinois considerable
damage was done to crops and a
number of cattle and horses were
killed by hail. In Iowa the rain de
scended in torrents and the hail was
terrific. The hail stones were as
large as eggs and dsifted up the
ground from two to four f cot
deep in places. The damage to
fruits Is very heavy. In Nebraska
two children were drowned while
crossing a little stream which hud
grown into a torrent by heavy rains
near Sioux city Iowa, the Missouri
river is again on the rampage doing
great damage. In Kansas the small
grain is hurt and the hail fell with
great force tearing shingles off houses
and cutting live stock till they were
covered with blood.
IN NEW XOISK TOO.
Wellsville, N Y., May 29.
Twenty business blocks were un
roofed and the Baptist church was
badly damaged by a storm hero yes
terday afternoon only two or three
persons were injured. A heavy rain ad
ded to the damage and windows were
broken by the hundreds. The storm
swept violently eastward through
southern New York felling trees and
doing great damage. The church
and several buildings were wrecked at
Allentown and many derricks in tho
Allegheny coal fields blown down.
FIBED HIM OUT.
NEwYoBK,May 29. Henry George
was expelled last night from No.23. as
sembly district of the central labor
party. Charges were preferred
against him to the effect, that ho
visited Washington, and immediately
afterwards advocated the affiliation
of the labor party with tho Demo
cratic party, and that he had endeav
ored to cast discredit on tho organi
zation, by calling it an annex of tho
Republican party. The following
resolution was passed:
Reselved: That we consider the
course pursued by Henry George as
a member of tho united labor party,
as unmanly and void of every princi
ple of the gentleman. His action is
that of a traitor; and not desiring his
fellowship any longer, we declare him
expelled from our organization.

Snoozing Catarrh.
The distressing sneczo, sneeze, sneeze, tho
acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and
nose, tho painful inflammation extonding to
the throat, the swelling of tho mucous lining,
causing choking sensations, cough, ringing
noises in the head and splitting headaohes,
how familar these symptoms are to thousands
who suffer periodically from head colds or in
fluenza, and who live in ignorance, of the fact
that a single application of Sauford's Rad
ical Cuke Fob Catarrh will afford In
stantaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh
gives but faint idea of what this remedy will
do in tho chronic forms, where the breathing
is obstructed by choking, putrid mucous ac
cumulations, the hearing affected, smell and
tasto gone, throat' ulcerated and hacking
cough gradually fastening itself upon the de
bilitated system. Thon it is that tho marvel
ous curative power of Sanfoiid's Radical
Cube manifests itsolf in instantaneous and
grateful relief. Cure begins frem the first
application. It is rapid, radical, permanent,
economical, safe.
