BULL RUN AGAIN RAMPANT. SUNDAY'S RAIK TURNS IT INTO A RAGING TORMENT. Swart. Street Bridge Ripped Up~-Mai.ii and Walnut Streets Flooded—Much Damage Done. AD unusually severe rain storm visited Margaretvllle late Sunday afternoon and for the third time within a year has Bull Run been on the rampage, Sewn after b o'clock the blackest .kind or clouds begun to gather over the ridge west of! the village with the accompani- ment, of thunder and lightning.: A strong wind was blowing that tumbled the clouds about like apples In a waBhtub, end the very air was charged with evil omen. While most of our villagers began to make snug lor a heavy rain, local weather prophets assured us with an expression of profound wisdom that \she was goln' 'round us,\ and those who always believe everything thoy hear put oft' the feeling of concern and resumed the even tenor of their way. The fears of the editor were materially quieted by the prognostications of Mr. \Bill\ Tompkins, the genial supoiin tendent of tun Ackerly House stables, who cocked ills weather eye toward the headwaters of Bull Bun with the remark that \ tueyr'e ketchln' it oft* there, but it won't touch us.\ Thus reassured the scribe sought the Ackerly dining room and while engaged in devouring tender spring chicken, with lobster smothered In mayonalse on the side, a torrent of rain descended that drove William's weather opinions down his throat and sent him to cover lllio a loose tiger In a circus. Water just dropped down upon us in chunks and it thundered on the house- tops like the measured tread of a mighty army. Heavy claps of thunder shook the buildings and sharp streaks of lightning split the darkened air in a, way that ren- dered the pressure on chair seats of an intermittent character and peppered the atmosphere with enough femluina \Oh mys!\ to polba dot the fat woman's nightgown. Supper was barely over when Ben Hai'denburgh, who sells corn off the cob two doors below Joe Silbert's haberdash- ery, began to danoe around and holler \Bull Run's breaking over I Bull Bun's breaking over 1\ at tho same time feeling around in the dark for an umbrella, with both hands. He finally sueooeded. in borrowing his own parachute from Palmer, the now hall boy from OatsklU, who found It tucked away behind the office counter, and start ing up Walnut street on a run ho met a lively little stream coming down in the gutter on the south side of that thorough- fare, By this tlrno a crowd had collected on the bridge on this street to watch the mad waters as they plunged downward, Above tho bridge they kept decently be- tween the walls on either side, but below they jumped to tho loft, pounded tho lit- tle cottage on the triangle and sheering to the right overfloWod the wall In front of George Gilbert's barn and converted Swarb street Into a raging canal.' The water at this point had assumed a terrifOo velocity. The passage under tho Swart street bridge booame ohoked and the torrent assaulted It as with a batter- ing ram, raising tho heavy planks and Iron railing at the upper end high In tho air as easily as a child tosses a ball, final- ly ripping it out altogether, but without displacing tho lowor end of tho structure. It flowed knoo-doop across Swart street and lu tho roar of houses of William Hil- ton, Samuol Halporn; Dr. Allaben (whore it drowned several ohlekons), James Munglc and Thomas Winter, About twenty cords of wood belonging to 8, Halporn was washod away, Further down the wator again over- flowed tho walls and ran to Main slrool across the lands of Mrs, Akeiiy, M. An- derson, Miss Jonulo Souiie and George Gilbert, outting gutters through the door- yards, undermining sidewalks, oto. In some plane,\ cm this street the wator was also kneo doop. It flooded tho stalls In An- dorson's livery and tho horses had to be taken to high or ground, The first floor of George Gilbert's tene- ment house, ooouplod by Mr. and Mrs, Ohatios .Bouton and Alice Bay, was Hood- ed, and botwoeli Ihto house and Giivott'a , blacksmith shop tho water poured over the wall like a mlualuro Niagara.

MARGARETYILLE INDUSTRIES SHORT SKETCHES OF OUR VARIOUS LOCAL ENTERPRISES. Halpern Brothers--How Their Business Has Grown from a Small Beginning. The attention of people who pass along Main street lu this village is always at- tracted by the bright up-to-date store front of the Messrs. Halporn Biothors, whose sign marks a center of commercial activity opposite tho People's Bs.uk . From a small beginning the business of these gentlemen has growu to huge proportions. Eight years ago Simon Halpern established himself lu the base- ment of ihe Ackerly House now occupied by Delemater's bai her shop. Seven months later T. B. Hill became a partner in the concern and for ueaily a year the business was conducted by Hill A- Hal- pern. Mr. Hill dually finally sold his in- terest to Albert Halpern, when the firm name was changed to Halporn Brothers They purchased of Dr. Beed the building adjoining, and after putting In a plate glass front and otherwise remodeling the structure they added to their stock of clothing a Hue of dry goods, millinery, carpets, boots and shoes, etc., that filled both Moors. The ladlo's department lu the second story is In charge of Mrs. Albert Halporn ( who as Miss Bestle Goldman was a for- mer Walton girl) and Is a veritable wo- man's Paradise. Hero ladlos furnishings of all kindH may be had, together with creations of the milliner's art that are simply poems In ila;e and feathers, The whole Interior of the building is, modern In Its appointments, and when lighted by gasiu the evening it presents a particu- larly pleasing appearance, The stock is always full and complete, and any m:it- rlmonally Inclined couple who cannot be rigged out hero for a first-class wedding had better emigrate to some country whero grooms wear liugsin theli noses and brides aro clothed in sunbeams. The lowor lloor Is presided over by Si- mon Halpern, who can say \Front\in four or five different languages, and he Is ably assisted by Louis Kadlns of New York, whoso long suit hvwrlUng display advs. and trading goods off for hard cash. Ho keeps one eye the chock book and the othor on tho Hwlss Cottage, Albert Halpern Is fond of tho country and likes to hear the birds sing, so he climbs up on tho big wtgon every Monday morning and swings around the circle in Delaware, Ulster and Greene counties and sells things that are dear to the hearts of housewives and star-eyod maidens, re- turning at tho ond of tho week with an empty cart, but a full pocket and a.smile that would knock a spoke out of a whoel. About a year after pooling their Inter* oste hero thoy opened a store in Grlflln Cornors iu a building owned by John M. Blleo, afterward moving luto the new store now occupied by them and which they bulH and have since owned. It Is 32x01 and Is filled to tho brim with cliolco goods. At this store their younger brother, Morih B, Halporn, is ca-?lilor, and ho Is assisted by James Collins of Now York as clerk, The place Is lirgoly patronised by the city people who Hock to tho Corners and by home people as well. As an evidence of their prosperity It may be said that the Halpern Brothers will open a third store. Truly I Great Is Margaretvllle I IN THE LAWS' TOILS. Albert Rosenbrand Arrested for Cruelty to Animal?. Albert Rosenbrand of New York, who was for a time a guest at the Ackerly House, was arrested last week on a charge of cruelty to animals, He had for several days hired a saddle horse at the stables of A. J. Easman for an hour each day. On the day the trouble occurred It Is thought, that he stayed out longer than he Intended to and to get back In time he rode the horse faster than he should have done. He started from a point near the stone school house and came Into the village by the road on the west side of the river. If Is said that he boasted at the stable that he had covered the dis- tance lu seven minutes. Bis rapid illgbt was noted by soveral people on lower Main street, and when he arrived at the barn the horse was so exhausted aud over heated that, the at- tendants found It nedessaiy to load It about for some time. It was evident that the horse, whl4i was young and valuable, was badly In- jured, possibly foundered, and it had to be ciiiod or tlirough the night. Thursday morning Mr, Easman served a summons on Rosenbrand in a suit for damage's, foarlpg that tho latter might take a notion to leave tho oountry, es- pecially as his vacation was nearlng the end. He paid no attention, i|, Is alleged, to the eumuiouB, and Easmuu, through his attorney, Murshall II. Dean, proposed to Rosenbrand that each choose a man and lot tho two select a third and have thein appraise the damage, K'xsinan agree- ing to accept whatever sum they decided upon.
