Storm's Damage Over Half
Million.
Owen Sound, March. 23. ---That the
wreek and rub) of Friday't gale will
tverregate nearly half a million dollare'
in louses is Ole estimate formed. The
damage to farm buildings is more ex-
tensive than in any previous gale, and
from every quarter come long lists of
wrecked and damaged barns, in town
the industrial buildings have suffered
to a greatar extent than first reports
wouhl indicate. The new building of
the Canadian Malleable Iron Company
had its gables blown in and the roof-
ing ripped off or punetured fain.,
debris, Two thousitua dollars will uo7
repair the damage, The Canadian:Heat-
Ina 'Ventilating Company's loss will
be equally heavy, the roof from the
main building, being ripped off and
scattered over a wide area, while the
other Sedi011s wore perforated by fly-
ing boartis and timbers, The group of
factories keit oorth of Eighteenth
street eecaped with a few of the stacks
being blown down. The GalbraitheCom-
pany's planiug mills had the roof torn
off and wreeked.
The worst damage was done to the
big foor-storey factory of the North
American Furniture Company, on the
West Side, where the whole east wall
was blown Mit ae though an explosion
had taken place. The damage to the
building was acceutuated by -the open -
nig et the spriuhler syetete of fire pro-
tectiou and the dattegang by water of
several thousaud dollars' worth of ease
furniture.
A chimney on the Filet Methodist
Church Was hloWil OVel. and (gashed

fell through the ceiling of the dining
room. and throughout the town tlus
was the experience of scores of lionises.

As to the Effects of Fried-

New York, March 23. -Whether or
not the patients treated by Dr. Fried-
man C. Frauenthal, of the hospital,
for Deformities and joint Diseases
are any better is a gaestion that can-
not be answered yet, said Dr. /ter
man C. Frauenthal, of the hospital,
to -night. lie stated that he believed
whatever relief these tueereular suffer-
ers had experienced was the result of
hypnotism.
"It is too early to tell what good
can be expected from Dr. Friellmitun's
culture," said Dr. Frattenthal. "Some
of those treated believe they are better.
These are adults, and they have been
hypnotized. The treatment ca,used a sort
of hypnotic anesthesia, from Which they
have not recovered yet.
"Some of these adults who received
Dr. Friedmane's injeetiops have moved.
joints which they never before
thought they could move. Their faith
in Dr. Friedmaiiii was so great that
they expected immediate cure. .Antl
they thought they got it. Ono man

which lie hadn't done siuce lie wae

vertisement of the restilta He gasped

SAVED HIS TRAIN
But • Engineer Went Into
R1N er Himself.
Lyndonville, 'Vermont, Mara 23. --
Facile; what appeared to he innninent
death for haneelf, the owl -neer of a
pateenger train front Montreel for Bos-
ton yeetertlay brought the crowded
coaches to an abrupt etop on the edge
of a totteriug bridoe. ..An instant later
the streeture, weneeited by a flood,
gave way under the weight of the loco-
motive, and the engine with its crew
pluneed. into the iceTchoked stream.
The one hundred and twenty-five pats -
sneers who scrambled out of the cars
to learn. the cause of their sudden shak-
ing up, received it second shock when
trainmen reported that another bridge
over the Passtunpsic River, a mile back,
had been swept away a moment after
their traln had cleared it.
The engineer and fireman, by a lucky
chance, dropped in open water, and
swam ashore not much the worse for
their experience.
