A second storm, which covered practically all sections of the county, streams, both large and small, jumped their banks, resulting in an extraordinarily large monetary loss, almost impossible to estimate. While all sections of the county were affected, Hop Bottom borough is by far the heaviest sufferer, although private property was not damaged to a great extent. A torrent of water coursed down the steep banks east of the town, sweeping huge rocks, trees and earth with it. The large sluice way at the head of the street became clogged and a raging river coursed down through Main street, bringing with it debris which filled the streets in certain points to a depth of five or six feet. Water overflowed into the Stone feed store, but, providentially, it would seem, after this point the swirling current kept well to the pavement until discharging itself into Martin’s Creek. The newly completed Lackawanna Trail was damaged considerably, fissures to the depth of several feet being made in some places. However, repairs have been made and the Trail will be opened June 28th as originally planned. In Rush township several bridges were swept away and a horse was drowned. It was also stated that a woman died from fright during the storm’s progress. Kingsley, Clifford, Uniondale, Ararat and Herrick all suffered in the deluge. At the DL&W stockyards in Montrose the water tore a gapping hole seven feet deep under the railroad tracks and the section men exerted strenuous efforts to making repairs so that the Montrose train could come into the station.

News Brief: The Supreme Court Justice Arthur S. Tompkins, of Nyack, NY, grandmaster of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of New York State, has denounced the Ku Klux Klan and warned members of the Masonic fraternity, in his jurisdiction, that they cannot be both Masons and members of the Ku Klux Klan. “Masonry will not tolerate the doctrines of the Ku Klux Klan within its sacred precincts and should a Mason so far forget his obligations to his fraternity, his God, to his country and his fellow man as to become affiliated with this anti-American organization, known as the Ku Klux Klan,” said Grandmaster Tompkins, “his right to remain a member in good standing of the Masonic fraternity would be seriously questioned.”
