VOL. XVI. No. 1S4. PORT JERVIS, ORANGE COUNTY, N. Y., MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1888. PRICE THREE CENTS LIGHTNING’S WILD WOHK A TEKRIFIC EI.ECTRIC STOKM SAT- CRDAX AFTERNOON. Several BnilcUnfts Struck in tins Village Several Barns Destroyed—The Rain fall Very H eavy—The Storm Else- TWs Village was visited by tlie most severe storm of the summer, Saturday af ternoon between 4 and 5 o’clock. The day had been particularly sultry and the angry looking clouds, which had been gathering all the afternoon, took on an ominous look at 4 o’clock and soon after fitful gusts of wind swept through the streets and the forked lightning com menced to play along the horizon. The rain came down in torrents for a half- hour or more and the lightning flashed with startling vividness. At the hight of the storm the spire of the Methodist church was struck by the lightning and the slate covering knocked off in several places. Further than this the spire suffered no damage. The spire of St. Mary’s church was also struck tear ing the slate from a patch about six feet long by two wide. It was caused by a broken lightning conductor at the lower extremity of the steeple. The damage was Blight and will be repaired immed- One of the ventilators of the Erie boiler shop at this place was struck and some what splintered but no trace could be found of its descent to tne ground. There were five men in the building at the time and two were directly under the ventila tor but no one was shocked. Mrs. Bomaine’s house at No. 5 Sussex street was struck by the electric current which badly shattered the chimney. Loss covered by insurance through L, E. Elston & Son. THE W ORK OF THE LIGHTNING. Several B a m s Struck and ;Bum ed to the Ground. J. P. Crance, living on the Glarrett Cole place on the Greenville road, near the top of the mountain, had his barn struck and totally destroyed with all its contents, except a wagon and a few tools. Which were removed by one of P. E. Gumaer’s drivers, who happened to be passing at the time. The loss is about $250 and was insured through t ,. E. El ston »&: Son’s agency for $150. Mr. Crance has a team of horses that he values very highly which he happened to have away. Patrick Kelley, a farmer living between Greenville and Finchville, this county, lost his barn and entire erojffl, having just sent the last load into the barn. He was hooking up to his milk wagon when the stroke came, otherwise a valuable team would probably have shared the same fate. Mr. Kelley attempted to extinguish the fiames, but when opening the barn door the air was filled with a suffocating odor and drove him back. He then attempted to run the last wagon load of hay out but could not get it away from the bam before it ignited and was consumed. Mr, Kelley has a large dairy and has not a particle of hay or grain left. His loss will reach $1,200, which is fully insured by L. E. Elston «& Son of this village, A Middletown dispatch says that an electric storm of extraordinary violence visited that region Saturday, in the pro gress of which no less than three Orange county farmers had their barns struck by lightning and burned with the recently harvested contents of hay and grain. The sufferers are Supervisor W. H. Wood of the townof Wawayanda, Patrick Kelly of Greenville, and James Doane of Warwick. The loss in each case is esti mated at $4,000 to $6,000. Amos Byer- son of Wawayanda had two stacks of hay burned and his barn set on fire by the lightning. A dwelling in Otisville and several other buildings in the track of the storm were struck by lightning and dam- hours to remove them. It was undoubt edly the most violent storm that has visited us this season. LIGHTNING FATALITIES. A Man K illed at Honesdale—Doatli Due to Fright. Joseph Hessling, aged 56 years, while cleaning out a coal car on the docks at Honesdale on Saturday evening, was in- stantly killed by a stroke of lightning. Mrs. Mary Weaver, wife of John Weaver, proprietor of Rockcellar Park, Qiittenburg, was sitting by a window in the parlor of her house during the thun der storm Saturday night, when an elec tric ball, seemingly four inches in diame ter, struck the corner of the house and fell to the front Stoop and rolled into the yard, where it exploded with quite a loud report. Mrs. Weaver had heart disease, and had been unable to move around. A moment after the explosion she jumped up and screamed. The next instant she dropped dead. Her death was due to fright caused by the shock. PERSONAL. George Hunt, an Eastern division fire man, has taken a three months’ leave of absence and gone to Nebraska to visit friends. Mrs. Alice E. Ludlum of Paterson, N. J., was in town, Saturday, visiting Mrs. T. H. Tinney. Mrs. Ludlum has been visiting friends in Port Jervis, and will spend the month of August in Florida, N. Y .—Middletown Press, Invitations have been issued by Mrs. 0. J. Davey of 42 Front street, this village, for the marriage of her daughter, Miss M. K ate Davey, and William H. Probert of Denton. The wedding will occur on Wednesday, August 15th, at 3.30 p. m. Mrs. Celina Bobertson, widow of John H. Bobertson, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Daniel H. Bailey in Mid dletown Friday evening. Death was due to heart failure. She was the daughter of the late Samuel Stanton, and was born October 3d, 1814, near Cuddebackville. The party of campers who have been at York pond, near Lackawaxen, for the past ten days, returned home this after noon. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. George Elston,the Misses Ridgeway and Hopkins, Mr. George Denton and friends from New York and Brooklyn. Joseph Johnson, the shoe dealer, left on tram one to-day for Auburn, where he goes to attend the Grand Council of the O. M. B. A. of the state of New York as a delegate from Branch 54 of this village. Accompanying him was Mr. Thos. Gray of Hawley, Pa., who goes to Bradford to attend the Grand Council of the state of Pennsylvania, which convenes in that city. Miss Katie Beach, one of the leading belles of Washington, and a daughter of the late Congressman Beach of Cornwall, has become engaged to Mr. Thompson, a wealthy Philadelphian. A few years ago Miss !^ach became the fiancee of Allan Arthur, but the match was finally broken off by the combined efforts of Mrs. Beach and President Arthur. Miss Beach sub sequently spent two years in Europe. She is a remarkably handsome girl. A party of well-known Deckertown people drove into town this morning and took dinner at the Delaware House. This afternoon they drove over to Milford and will remain there until to-morrow. The party was made up of Mr. and Mrs. 0. V. Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Loomis,Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Stanton, Dr. and Mrs. VanGasbeek, Miss May Loomis of Rock ford, 111., Miss Jennie Gould and Messrs. W. B. Decamp and Gay Lawrence. IN THE RAILROAD WORLD THE STORM IN SPARROWBUSH. TJie Tannery Struck and Fired—Tlie Fire D id Little Damage. ^i*ABKOWBOSH, August 6,—On Satur day, probably one of the heaviest storms that has ever visited our village was ex perienced. It was accompanied by heavy thunder and lightning. Lightning struck the cupola on the tannery of D. Hammond & Co., shattering it and setting fire to it. The whistle was blown and the employes promptly responded and succeeded in ex tinguishing what might have been a good- sized fire had it once got started. The damage caused by the fire was about $15. A horse driven by William Decker in the tannery company’s employ was also knocked down. Along the lower road leading to Port Jervis and just below Michael Boeder’s wagon house, several large pine trees were wrenched and torn from the ground and the violence of the storm and wind hurled them directly across the road. It took Eoadmaster Van Fredenberg several TH E OPENING NIGHT. Mr. Lea announces Friday of this week as the opening night of the Opera House for the next season. By our advertising columns we notice that Lilly Clay’s Col ossal Gaiety Company, composed entirely of females (40 in number), are the great attraction.

A large excursion train, running as the second section of train Nine, arrived in this village about 12.15 o’clock to-day, carrying about 250 excursionists from New York en route to Lake Chautauqua. The excursion was under the management of “ Cook,” the well-known tourist of New York city, who conducts excursions to all parts of the world. The entire party took dinner at the Delaware House. TO THE BLAINE BKOEPIION. Train Eight on Sunday evening was run an four sections, two of them carry ing delegates from Chicago to Blaine’s reception in New York. Over 100 of the latter took supper at the Delaware House. The trains passed through this village be tween 10 and 11 o’clock. THE SUNDAY EXCURSIONS. One hundred and thirty-eight tickets were sold at this station for the Rockaway Beach excursion yesterday. The number would undoubtedly have been a great deal larger had it not been for the threatening condition of the weather. About one hundred and twenty persons from this village spent Sunday afternoon at Sbohola Glen. A LEHIGH e n g i n e e r ’ s BRAVERY. An accident occurred to a Lehigh Val ley express train running fifty miles an hour Friday morning enroute for Buffalo. An eccentric rod broke, demolishing the cab and breaking into the boiler. Engi neer Elijah Mooney, although nearly scalded to death, applied the brakes, re versed the engine, and prevented further accident. TO SHOHOLA YESTERDAY. Two large trains, one composed ol eleven and the other composed of ten cars, conveyed about thirteen hundred excursionists from New York, Jersey City and Paterson, to Shohola Glen yes terday. ENGINEER DAN KENTON A OOLLEOTOR. Daniel Kenyon, the oldest engineer on the Erie railroad, has been made a ticket collector at the Pavonia ferry house in Jersey City. He is 66 years old, and was an engineer since 1847. He was of a slight build when he got his first engine. Several years ago he began to grow fat, and recently reached and passed the 300 pound mark. Then he was not able to squeeze into the cab of his engine, and bad to resign. The place he now occupies was made for him. While an engineer he had charge of the fastest train on the road. He never had an accident happen to any train in his care, and he traveled an average of 2,500 miles a month. NOTES, A Deckertown. gentleman remarked to us to-day that the Erie crossings here were the worst and most dangerous he had ever seen in any place approaching the size of this. It has been rumored that gates were to be supplied at Pike street. TheiErie moved into its new freight depot on Sunday and business was carried on there to-day. Frank A. Starr, son of ex-County Treasurer Starr, has secured a patent for a railroad station indicator, it promises to be a very valuable invention as some handsome offers have already been made the inventor for the control of •publican Watchman. The employees and bosses of the Grant Locomotive Works at Paterson say they have been leased for a year by the Erie as a repair shop. Mr. W. D. Gregory, chemist for the New York, Lake Erie & Western, has just been elected President of the Ameri can Association of Railroad Chemists. The new railroad drawbridge which spans the Kills between New Jersey and Staten Island is called the largest in the world. It cost $500,000.—W. T. Sun, Mr. William Buchanan, Superintendent of Motive Power of the New York Cen tral, was the first man to force water into a locomotive boiler by steam. The teat was made in 1857 on the engine New York of the Hudson River division by placing a force pump on the left side. The teat was successful and the present day injec tor used on nearly all engines had its outgrowth from Mr. Buchanan’s idea.- The Sun. XRI-STATES W R ITTEN UP. Settling: Political QueBtions-Atr Earnest Young MiniBtor—Unfounded Charges. T ri -S tates , Aug. 4.—It is refreshing to our people, who are obliged to pursue the even tenor of their way these hot August days, to hear the campers out at High Point speak of the cool breezes and deli cious air at that lake,crowned spot, High Point at no distant date is bound to come to the front as a famous summer resort. It would seem that even the hot weather is unable to suppress our energetic politi cians who during the evenings congregate in the office of W. A. Drake’s new grist mill and settle momentous questions re garding Protection and Free trade. There is considerable interest manifested politi cally at Tri-States and a slight regard for the tmth^compels US to say the cause of Harrison and Morton is not being at all injured thereby. Our townsmen Rev. Samuel Case, who has succeeded in passing through his col lege course and since that time into the state of matrimony, has we learn under consideration a call to the ministry of one of our nearby towns. Mr. Case is an energetic hard working student and is destined to make his mark in the ministry. Justice J. M. Allerton has about com pleted his drama and the probabilities are when the weather becomes cooler it will he rendered. It is of a scriptural nature and IS bound, as is everything else from the judges pen, to be original and enter taining. The Wild West excursion was well pa tronized by our people yesterday and we heard incidentally that our popular jeweler, Beemer C., successfully accomplished the feat of riding one of the bucking bronchos. The black bass fishing is better than ever before this year and it is unnecessary for the boys to strain their imaginations and consciences regarding big catches as the fish bite plentifully and big catches take place every day. The strong arm of the law has reached out in the direction of Tri-States and grasped hold of Mrs. Ella Robinson on the charge of keeping a disorderly house. The general sentiment of the neighbor hood seems to be that a mistake has been made and that Mrs. Robinson, who sup ports herself and child by washing and other hard labor, has enough to do without being compelled to defend unfounded charges. There is a good quantity of city people at the Riverside Hotel at Tri States rock, managed by the Snyder brothers, and we understand they intend giving some pri - vate theatricals next week to which it is hoped they will give their country cousins a bid. O ld A non . GEN. SHERIDAN IS DEAD. THE PUBLIC VOICE. A Protectionist AsRs Our Contemporary a Question. To the Editor of T h e U n i o n : The Qaeette says, “ a reduction from 47 per cent, to 40 percent, and calls that free trade.” Now, I would like to ask the Oa&ette one question. The total duties were in 1887 $217,000,000. If the duty was 40 per cent, then there were imported $462,000,- 000 of dutiable goods. Now, if you de crease the rate from 47 per cent, to 40 per cent, you decreasethe revenuefrom$3l7,- 000,000 to $185,000,000 or a decrease of $32,000,000, but as the surplus is $103,- 000,000 you still have a surplus of $81,- 000,000. These figures are taken from the New York World almanac, good Democratic authority. Will the Gazette please inform us what they will do with the remaining surplus of $81,000,000? F or P rotkotion . MUTUALLY AGREED TO SEPARATE. Some days ago divorce proceedings were begun against George B. Bennett by Ms wife. Belle Mariah. Wilton Bennett, esq., was the plaintiff’s attorney, and Wm. Vanamee, esq., of Middletown, attorney for the defendant. Both parties being mutually agreed it was an easy case, and now we understand they are each about to enter again into the state of matrimony. THE COMMANDER OF THE ARMY EX- PIRE.S LAST NIGHT. H is Bravo Struggle at an End—Death Duo to Heart Failure — At H is Bedside. Some Points in H is Career. N onquit , Mass., Aug. 5.—Gen. Sheri dan died to-night of heart failure. Pre vious to the sudden appearance of heart failure at about 9.80 there bad been no premonitions of any unfavorable change in his condition. His voice was strong, he took a full supply of nourishment, slept occasionally as usual, and the doctors and his family were in hopeful spirits. At 7 o’clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doctors went to the hotel for supper and soon after their return the usual preparations for the night were made. At about 9.30 Col. Sheridan said “ Good night ” to his brother and went to the ho tel, there having been throughout the day no sign whatever of any unfavorable change in his condition. At 9.30 symp toms of heart failure suddenly appeared and Doctors O’Reilly and Matthews, who were with him at that time, immediately applied the remedies which proved suc cessful on all similar previous occasions, but this time they were without effect, and despite all that could be done the General gradually sunk into a condition of com plete unconsciousness and at 10.20 breathed his last. Mrs. Sheridan, the Sisters Mahan and Jnstiaian and the faithful body servant Kleen, were also at his bedside throughout his dying hour. The illness which has resulted in Gen. Sheridan’s death commenced on the 12th of May last, immediately after his return from a tour of inspection out West. He complained of feeling unwell and worn out, but went to the office each day for about a week. He was then forced to re main in doors and on Tuesday, May 32nd, he had a severe attack of heart failure which greatly alarmed his family and physicians. He leaves a wife, the daughter of Gen. Rocker, and four small children—three girls and one boy. THAT GRAND OLD ROMAN. In 1879 Allen G.

THE DEMOCRATIC BOLT IT MISINFORMS ITS READERS GEN. SHERIDAN’S CAREER. The B rilliant Army Record of Dashing “ Little P h il.” Phillip Henry Sheridan was born in the little town of Somerset, Ferry county, 0„ Marche, 1831. His parents emigrated from Ireland a few years before his birth, and the boy spent his early childhood and youth in the little country village. He was seventeen years old when he first de termined upon the life of a soldier as the one most agreeable to him, and his com mon-school education was supplemented with a course of rigorous training at the West Point Academy. He graduated just as the Mexican War had closed and just in time to take a vigorous hand in quelling the disturbances that were then breaking out in Kansas, the Valley of Virginia, Texas and Oregon. When the war broke out Sheridan was given the position of Quatermaster of the Army of Southwestern Missouri, and in April, 1863, he was appointed chief quar termaster of the Western Department. In the following month he received his com mission as Colonel of the Second Michigan Volunteer Cavalry, and was commissioned brigadier-general of volunteers July 1, 1863. Sheridan’s first important engagement as a general was at the battle of Stone River, on Dec. 31, 1863, where he com manded a division imder General Rosen- crans. At daylight on the morning of May 19, 1864, under orders from General Grant, Sheridan set out with a large force of cavalry on his famous campaign in tbe Shenandoah Valley. His distinguished services led to his advancement by Gen eral Grant, who placed him in charge of the Military Department of West Virginia, Washington and the Shenandoah Valley on Aug. 5, 1864. Soon afterward Sheridan was appointed a major-general in the regular army in place of General McClellan, who had re cently reigned. Sheridan was present at Appomattox Court House when General Lee surren dered the Confederate forces 'to General History gives to General Sheridan a po tion second in importance only to that of eneral Grant in the engagements in the lienandoah Valley and around Richmond, which led ultimately to Lee’s surrender, After having served in command of the Loui And Then Persists in the Misinformation. A Queer Parag:raph. We respectfully inform the U nion that m knew as soon as it did that the Rev. Dr. Storrs had, after mature deliberation, concluded not to desert his old love, but to vote the Republican Gazette. Yet in its issue of last Thursday, Aug. 3, the Gazette includes Dr. Storrs among its list of “ prominent men who have flop ped over to tariff reform ” and in the fol lowing issue it follows up this misstate ment by again asserting that “ Dr. Storrs and eminent divines have left the Republican party, etc.,” when in fact Dr. Storrs’ letter appeared in the Independent of Aug. 3 and was republished in some of the New York papers of that date. If it knew that Dr. Storr’s would vote and sup port the Republican ticket as soon as the U nion , will the Gazette inform us why it persisted last Friday in misinforming its readers ? A DEADLOCK OPENED. The Pittsburg Chronicle remarks: “ Ihe deadlock in the Indian Territory ought to be opened by a Gkotohee.\ Texas is near that section. The deadlock of blind op position to meritorious preparations has long been opened there. “ In our com munity,” write Drs.

It Believes Cleveland’s Free Trade Ten dencies w ill Wreck the Democracy for a Generation — Are the Democrats Panic-Stricken ? The Albany Times, one of the two great Democratic journals at the state capital, openly discusses the question whether the Democratic party would not be better served by inflicting on it the “ discipline of defeat ” than by electing Cleveland and letting him wreck it on the rocks of tree trade for a generation. This amounts to a bolt of Cleveland’s nomination. A journal that supports or intends to support its party ticket makes such protests before the nomination, but not afterward. As soon as the ticket is made it accepts the candidates and swal lows its dose of crow. But the Albany Times does not swallow. The Times represents the 77,500 Demo cratic votes that were cast for John Kelly for Governor in 1879. Their bolt elected Alonzo B. Cornell over Lucius Robinson. They had no love for Cleveland in 1884, although they had helped to give him. 192,000 majority in 1882, and their par. tial defection helped to cut his plurality down to 1,047 in 1884. This year they are for protection to American industries, but the Republican ticket is unobjection able and they do not need to vote for a third ticket or an electoral ticket of pro tection Democrats. No one can foretell the effect of this bolt. The Democratic opposition to Cleveland, the man, is re-inforced by Democratic opposition to Cleveland, the free traders’ candidate. The Democrats may soon be in a state of panic.—W. 7. POLITICAL JOTTINGS. Horatio N. K inney o f Sussex Said to Have Come Out for Harrison. The Hon. Horatio N. Kinney, ex- Assemblyman for Sussex county, it is said, is out for Harrison and Morton. Mr. Kinney has always been a strong Demo crat and represented the county as a Demo- trat in the Assembly during the winters of ’85, ’86 and ’87. He has in his employ about 80 men, the majority of whom, it is said, will vote with him. Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers pays a high tribute to General Harrison, and says : “ I know his friendly attitude toward organized la bor, and his nomination is a strong one, for his record contains nothing to prevent any Republican workingman from voting for him.”—Boston Herald, Those who assail General Harrison for his Chinese record are making small headway. California is satisfied with it— or at least the Republican portion of Cali fornia is—and nobody else cares much about the subject, except to awaken un worthy prejudices. Nobody can hurt Gen. Harrisonnowinthis msAWs.—BosUm Rerald, J. M. Glass, formerly Mayor of Jeffer sonville, Ind., but now of Los Angeles, CaL, writes to the Indianapolis Journal : “ The Pacific coast will go solidly for Harrison. Oregon has already indicated the feeling of the people beyond the Rock ies. Hundreds of Democrats are an nouncing that they will vote the Republi can ticket.
