At Tenth and Harney streets the wind blew the front end out of a brick black smith shop, took the skylight out and blew It to no one knows where, and left a half block ot billboards which adjoined the shop without so much as blowing the paper oft of them. The back windows were blown out of the shop and most of the tools were scattered in the street. A pony which was tied In the building was not injured. With the falling out of the front end of the building several electrlo wires were broken and fell across the street just as the fire department came along at full speed headed for a lire on Douglas street.. Police Officer Fan-Is succeeded In stopp'lng the firemen while H. F. Cohere fished out some pliers from the debris of the blacksmith shop and cut the wires. The sparks shooting from the ends of the wires made a spectauclar display. Across the street from the blacksmith hop a lunch wagon, which had just been stationed there by its proprietor, was blown over and smashed to pieces. The proprietor was In -the, wagon, wbeo.lt fell 1 aver, but was uninjured. V At Homan's livery barn, 419 South Thir teenth street, a buggy was destroyed by a peculiar teat of the wind. The buggy was ' stored In the upper story of the barn. While the employee were closing and bar- " ring the lower doors the wind rushed through the upper windows, struck the , buggy and rolled it to an elevator shaft, where It fell to the lower story. The buggy I. was demolished. A portion ot the root of ' the building was also blown off and the :, skylight broken out. The storm swept down on Courtland ' beach and Cut-Off lake with sufficient fury to drive the pleasure seekers to places of '' safety and make the lake a miniature sea, ' the waves rising several feet, almost cap ' siilng several boats filled with young peo ple. One skiff, in which there were three young women and two young men, became unmanageable when near the shore and C. t F. Smock, who runs the boathouse, and ' James Palma, his assistant,-waded Into the water and carried the women to the beach, v while the young men waded out. It was reported that a boat In which ' were two daughters of Mr. McEachron. the t coal dealer, and two young men had been capslsed and the. parties drowned. A searching party was organized and the empty boat. was found. When thla news '. was brought to shore Mrs. McEachron "fainted and It was some minutes before ' she was restored to consciousness.

Just as the blast ot storm was at its worst an alarm of fire was sent in from the prem ises at 1005; Davenport. The Ore proved, however, to be confined to aa old mattress In the bsck yard and was extinguished before the department arrived. Table d'hojte was pust concluded and the dancing had barely begun at the Country club when the fierce wind struck. A crowd of society pleasure seekers were wrapped in the mazes of the first waits, but the wrath ot the elements quickly drew their attention elsewhere, and the muslo was drowned out by the roar of the wind. The club house Is a cozy place, however, and most everyone decided to weather It out, and go in town after the gale had passed and the rain ceased. Those who had driven out were in rather of a predi cament as far as their livery was con cerned. At the Omaha Field club the storm was not severe enough to disturb a large party which had just begun to enjoy the even ing's dance program In the club house. While the wind swept about the building with considerable force there was no cause for alarm. EFFECT OF M0UNT PELEE Volcaaia Dlstarbaaee la Martinique Chances Elevations at Varloaa Points In Pennsylvania, HARRISBURG, Pa., June 14. The con tention of geologists that the recent seismic disturbances in- Martinique would not only affect territory adjacent to Martinique, but would aluo be noticed In this country, ts borne out by the following letter sent by Colonel H. C. Demlng of the United States Geological survey to Charles D. Walcott, director of ths United 8tatea Geological survey, Washington, D. C. : During the past month I have taken at various places In Pennsylvania, In my geological work, a number of elevations above sea level, and I have found In every case where elevations had been taken previously that the present figures show higher elevat'on than before. , It is possible that this Is due to the seis mic disturbances in the Martinique and other islands southeastward! from the flitted States. I found the variation to be from two Inches to more than twenty-four on comparing them with older records at Honey brook, Chester county; Clolumbla. Lancaster county- Gettysburg, Adams county; Newvtlle, Cumberland county, and In Dauphin county. FORECAST OF THE WEATHER Cooler aad Pair Isaity In Nebraska Preceded by Loeal Thender Storms In East.

WAGES ARE TO BE INCREASED ONE-THIRD Fifth Week of the Anthracite Strike Finds Both Sides Equally Firm and Confident of Win nine the Straggle. NEW YORK. June 11. So confident are the mine operators of winning their strug gle with their employes In the anthracite region that a statement has been Issued at Wllkesbarre to the effect that when opera tions shall have been resumed fewer men will be employed. It Is planned to reduce the number of miners one-third and Increase wages by one-third. In other words, the operators believe their forces can be reduced from an approximate ot 147,000 men to 100,000. The operators say they will not attempt to resume the mining of coal at all 'col lieries, and that restrictions will be placed on summary closing ot the mines without notice by the men remaining away from work for the purpose of celebrating various holidays, etc., and they will be expected to be on duty every day ths mine is open. Both Sides Kqnally Confident. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 14. Today finds the fifth week of the anthracite coal miners' strike. Neither side has weakened an Inch and each side stands just as firmly as It did thirty-five days ago. As the days go by it becomes more ap parent that it is a case of the "survival ot the fittest." Neither the miner nor ths operator has anything further to propose, and If a solution of the dispute is to come It looks very much as though It will have to come from a third party. The entire region was quiet todsy and the territory affected by the strike presents a 8unday-like appearance. Including those who are not on strike, but are affected by the suspension, there are approximately 185,000 men and boys idle. The efforts of the strike leaders to bring out the Are bosses Is not meeting with as much suc cess as they expected. President Mitchell today received advices from Weet Virginia which, be says, are ex tremely favorable to the strikers. One telegram from the Kanawha and New River districts, where a total of 13,000 men are employed, says that 12,000 men are on strike in that territory. Denounces na a Fake. The statement printed today and alleged to be from an official close to the large coal companies, to the effect that the strike Is teaching the operators to economize the working force at their mines, and that after the strike Is over less than 100,000 men will be used in the mines, ts denounced aa a "fake." General Manager Warrlner of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, said today that neither his company nor the New Jersey Central railway knew anything of the origin of the story. An official of the Wllkes barre company also denied knowledge of the statement. President Mitchell says the idea embodied In the statement is absurd, even from tha operstor's view point. The heavy rains of last night had little or no effect on the mines. Water ts slowly accummulatlng in some collieries, but the company officials say they have the situa tion well tn hand. Ofllcer's House Dynamited. 1 HAZLETON, Pa., Juns 14. The house of James Applegate at West Hazleton was shattered early today by an explosion of dynamite, which had been placed near the side of the building by unknown psrties. The family escaped Injury. Applegate has been employed aa a special officer at the Cranberry colliery since the strike went into effect. Frank Pardee, superintendent of the Cranberry colliery, offers a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the dyna miters. He says bloodhounds will be brought here to assist the police in running down the guilty parties. Applegate, while returning from thit Cranberry colliery, where he had gone to report an account of the explosion and the consequent shock to himself and fam ily, was held up by two men and relieved ot his revolver. He made no resistance, as four other armed men stood closs by ready to assist if necessary In overpower ing him. Applegate knows the men and they will be arreated. Mrs. Applegate ssys shs was told by a West Hasleton man that fourteen houses would be dynamited if tha men occupying them did not stop working at surrounding mines. Policemen are now looking for the person who is alleged to have made this threat. NEW YORK, June 14. It was learned to day on the highest authority that the visit ot George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan ft Co., to Washington yesterday had nothing to do with the coal strike. The situation so far as tha anthracite operators Is con cerned. It Is said, remains unchanged. ROANOKE, Vs., June 14. Today's offi cial statement by the Norfolk 6 Western Railroad company, regarding the strike In the Pocahontas coal fields, shows but lit tle change In the situation since Friday. There la a gradual return of old men to work and the strikers' ranks ars not being augmented. Complete reports of yester day's operations show that four mines were Idle out of a total of forty-six.
