FRIDAY'S STORM.
'the storm king reigned supreme on
Friday last, when a gale blew all
day long and far into the night with
unabated fury. - Considerable ,damage
was done' in Clinton, as elsewhere,
the greatest being the blowing in of
Elliott's livery and damaging
the roofs of St. Paul's church,
the Mo (sons Bank and the
Gunn, Langlois Company's build-.
ing. • The livery. barn 18 . of
brick' and the upper portion of the
south and west walls was utterly.
ruined, the roof, strange to say, be-
ing left on. The roof of the Mol -
5005 Bank was badly damaged and
Sunday night's ram floodeti the' bui'd-
ing with water. Monday being a
bank holiday the place was gotten
into sorn 'sort of shape, otherwise
no work could have been done in it.
The,south east corner of the roof was
stripped. from St. Paul's chinch and
though men were at work upon, it
Saturday it was not finished and
Sunday's rain did much damage to
the inside of the building. A big
hole was also torn in the roof of the
Gunn, Langlois Company's building,
stopping operations there for some
time. The roof of the Jackson Mfg,
Companys building was somewhat
damaged, but not sufficiently „ to in-
terfere with work being resumed,
Monday morning. The smokestack
of the Motor works waS broken off.
Other buildings throughout the town
; were dalrnaged .ffiore or less ; veran-
dahs were torn off, skylights blown
in ; fences were utter demolished, Al-
together it was the worst Wind
storm in the memory of Clinton cit-
izens, but it was by no means -a loc-
al one. The funny part of it was
that while it partially destroyed
solid looking buildings such as the
Bank, the livery barn and St. Paul's
church, there are several little old
wooden buildings in diEerent parts of
the town, with windows out and
looking as if it wouldn't take much
to push them over,' still standing,
having weathered the gale. e
The damage to the sterrouriding
country was also heavy. On 'Satur-
day there was a steady stream of
tams coming and going in town
looking for shingles, the supply not
being equal to the demand. t is ,
said that very few barns -escaped
without the need of some repairs. '
Down the London ,Road considerable
damage was done. Mr. Robert
Hunter's barn had a large hole blown
in it ; Mr. Fred Nett lost part of
the roof of his, as did also Mr. Geo,
Watt and Mr. Wra. Falconer, Mr.
Geo. W. LaytOn's windmill Was com-
pletely blown over and the roof was
blown from an implement shed. Oth-
er buildings were more or less dam-
aged,
Stanley township did not escape.
Mr. Norman Stephenson's barn on
the Goshen Line was blown in, and
many other barns in different parts
of the _township were damaged more
or less.. •
The belfry was Mown from tlie
Methodist church, Londesboro, and
other minor }oases were, Sustained.
Hallett farmers were perhaps tale
greatest losers from the storm,
which seemed to sweep over the ,
township with special fury. W. Mor -
risen had two barns damaged, one on
the 6th and one on the Gravel
Road ; on the 6th the barns of M.
Morrison, T. Tighe, B. Medd G. Dale,
J. Shanahan and • Robt. Lawaon were
each more or less damaged. On the
Gravel Road those who sufferedmost
were : John Reynolds," W. Morrison,'
Geo, Car-bert, Ed. East, John Far-
quhar and John Denby, Ou.' the dth
were the barns of Joe Reynolds and
Dominick Flynn, and on ...the fith
James Brown and Richard 131ake,
'whose house was 'badly damaged. The
No, 5 school had a big hole bored in
it, and it was a blessing it happen-
ed on a holiday, otherwise serious
injury might have been done, The
two Mason farms on the BaSe lin'
were visited and Mr. J, Cornish lost
his wlndm,ill.
AN UNFORTUNATE SLIP.
Mrs, • McGuire had -the in iefO'.111110

steps and severely sp,rain her ankle
It was a most unfortunate accident,
for the mother of a family, and es-
pecially just now when her moiler;
Mrs. Pattison, is in, hospital. liar
many friends sympathize and te est
that both ladies may soon recover,

A BAD ACCIDENT,
Mr. James Graham of Goderich
township met with a serious acci-
dent on Thursday • afternoon last
whioh will lay him up for some time.
Ho had driven into town and when
crossing the track his horsetook
fright at something and ran away
upsetting the buggy. Though thrown
from the rig Mr, Graham pluckily
held onto the reins until the animal
was stopped by bystanders, when he
was picked Up and brought up town,'
He was conveyed to Sheppard's
grocery and a medical man called,
who discovered that he had sustain-
ed, besides other injuries, the frac-
ture of three ribs, Wheis be had
been made as comfortable, as pos-
sible he was taken home, not being
willing to remain in town ou ae-
count of the fact that his wife be-
ing in poor health the shock of
knowing that he was unable to be
taken home might upset her.
As Mr. -Graham has but just recov-
ered sufficiently to be able to get
about after being laid Up all win-
ter, this accident seems all the more
regrettable, but it is hoped that lie
may quickly recover and be restored
to a measure of health once more, .
