People of the neighborhood rushed to the' Sfloiio of death, being attracted by Wienosky's screams. Tlio latter had regained his feet In tba.mcantinio and stood in tho centre of tho rosm dazed; in fact, ho had tlb appearanco very .much like that of a mad man, and the. neieuuors Hesitated about entering tho room. When Wisnosky'g spell passed ho fell In a heap upon the floor and tho neighbors wont to his assistance. Ho was uuablo tn Rtuml and an examination showed that his loft ankle was badly sprained and tho leg ap peared to bo paralyzed. Joseph Valawage lay cold in death.

The bolt of lighting which killed Joseph Valawage passed down the chimney, struck the unfortunate man on the lower part of the body, passed down his left leg, darted across the room, knocked over the bench upon wnicn anmony wisnosky was sitting, passed through the wall, ripped off the wainscoting of a room In the adjoining houso occupied by Simon Shinkosky, stunned two men who were sitting at the opposite sldo nf t)iA vneim smashed five beer glast that were on a side board and patted down into the eallar.
