KILLED BYLIGIITSISQ. .
Mnteritii Death or Pr.mlstent fJItlzeta T
lllln.l.
The painful accident la Iiloomlngton, Illinois,
by which a well-known citizen of that place was
killed by lightning whilst asleep, with bis wife
by his aide, has been reported by telegraph.
The raniograph Rives the following details of
this distressing affair:
The brief announcement In these columns on
Saturday morning of the sudden death of W.
II. Ilanna, by lightning, during the night pre
vious, was to hundreds of readers a most sud
den and terrible shock. The details of the fatal
accident are in some dcsTeclmysterious and in
explicable, and must always so remain, or at
least until the laws which control the move
ment of the electric fluid are more fully under
stood The first of the series of showers which fell
during;! that night had passed, and about 11
o'clock another arose, accompanied by an extra
ordinary electrical phenomenon, the clouds in the
eouth and west being almost constantly illu
mined with the flashes and darts of lightning,
although with not very much thunder. An oc
casional crash, however, was heard. Mr. Ilanna
and bis wife bad retired, and were sleeping with
a window, noi far from the bed, raised two or
three inches. While it is impossible to state
with certainty exactly in what way the bolt en
tered or departed from the room, yet the gene
ral view Is that it entered at the slightly opened
window. Not far from this stands a largo tree,
with a decayed limb bearing In the direction,
and this tree and limb give some very slight
evidences of the passage of lightning. The head
of the bed also has a little mark. The only
mark upon ttie body of Mr. Ilanna is one above
the shoulder, or rather upon the chest, neither
breaking or abrading the skin.
There is no noticeable mark upon the cloth
ing, or elsewhere in the room. The theory of
tome is that the fluid leaped from the decayed
limb of the tree through the window, Just strik
ing the head of the bed, then causing the mark
upon Mr. Ilnnna's neck, and passing from the
body at the other mark, leaping from thence to
the gas fixture, and thus finding escape to the
earth below.
However this may be, it is certain that in its
course that little dart of lightning fulfilled its
fearful mission. Mrs. Ilanna was for a icw mo
ments stunned by the stroke, but soon recovered
and sent for a physician. No human aid, how
ever, could revive the injured man, and after
the physician arrived he breathed heavily a few
times, and all was still.
Some of the most important cases in the law
practice of the West have been conducted by
Air. Ilanna, and at the time of his death he had
in his hands the management of a number of
cases in which great interests were involved.
He was universally conceded to be one of the
clearest headed, hardest working, most tho
rough, and honest lawyers of this or any other bar.
A I.TTKTTM TTATITRT-'
Astonlahlo Doing Iu Utah A Shower of
Lizard.
The Utah Reporter says: On Saturday even
ing our town was visited by the first rain which
has fallen for three months. It seemed, 6ince
the 1st of May, that the "dry season" of the
early years had returned, and that we were
again to have summers without a drop of rain.
The rain, However, tnougn gratetut and wel
come, was not much of a surprise; but con
nected with it was a phenomenon without pre
cedent in this section, unexplained by any of
our philosophers, nothing more nor less than a
shower of water-lizards. Over all the western
part of the town, particularly around the Opera
House, they were found la great numbers and
of evojy leDgth from two to eight inches.
In looking over theground to-day we found a
number already quite dried up: and we note
with surprise that there is so little substance in
them- as to leave nothing more than a mere
skeleton. The greatest number seem to have
fallen on Judge Spicer's premises. His cellar,
lately dug, previously dry as a powder-house,
contained several inches of water literally alive
with these singular creatures. The Judge
fished up some forty of the largest ones, and
nnw has them alive in a wn.ter-tn.nk near his
house, where the curious may inspect them. On
examination we found, them to nave boneless
limbs, and bodies very soft and "mushy;" they
are quite lively in the water, but soon gel dry,
dull, and inactive when laid out on the ground.
They more nearly resemble the reptile known
in the Northwest as the "mud-puppy" than
any other wc have seen. Their color is a dull
brown, with bright spots, and their general
make-up in other respects places them in
the siredom class. The usual theory of "toad
ehowers" is that the numerous toads seen after
a sudden rain were really in the ground and
were drawn out by the moisture; but that ex
planation is cut off in this case by two facts:
First. That these are clearly water reptiles and
die in a few minutes on dryland. Second. The
ground has been so hard and dry that soft
bodied reptiles could not have penetrated it.
The walls of Judge Spicer's cellar on Satur
day afternoon were as solid aim t as a brick
wall. Another singular fact is tb.t numbers of
the reptiles were found in the rain barrel, where
they could not have crawled. One gentleman
informs us tbat he counted two hundred in a
email puddle on Colorado street. We noticed
the dried remains of one which was seven inches
in length, vet would not weigh an ounce. We
give merely the facts, and so far are without
any theory on the matter. But our locat moans
are busy, and by to-morrow we shall doubtless
have a dozcu explanations.
HORRID "AFFAIR.
Tragedy Near Coanell.vllle A Unman llelng
) Bartered.
Mr. William II. Feabody, justice of the peace
at Connellsvillc, Pa., writes of a horrible murder
committed about thirteen miles from that place,
and not far from the Pennsylvania and Mary
land line. The body was found about twenty
five rods from the highway, hanging in a tree,
dressed like a dressed hog,' being quartered, the
quarters hanging, but the carcass being putrid.
On the grouud near by were found letters and
papers, by which It Is evident that the name of
the deceased was Francis Bosom; that he had
lived in Syracuse, and in Broome county, in this
State, and In Michigan, probably Hillsdale; that
he bad beeu in the patent-right business, but
latterly was a detective, in which capacity he
was supposed to be engaged at the time of his
murder. It is believed he was murdered by
a gang of horse thieves infesting that region of
country.
Binguamton and Detroit papers are requested
