THE STORM.
Holts of Lightning Cnuno Kxcltemeiit
In
Many l'lacei.
Ono of the most severe electrical storm
tlmt over visited this section of tlie state was
tlio ono of Inst nlglit. It was of such severity
tlmt hundreds of people were stricken to
their hearts with terror and, as the storm
raged, fell upon tholr knees ami Indulged In
fervent prayer. A reporter to-duy met
several people who frankly confessed that
they felt more tlmu once that tho end of
tho world was near nt hand. Tho lightning
struck at several places, lint no serious dam
ago was sustained at any of them. Tho
most interesting points of interest during tho
storm were the electric light stations, Lut
noiio of tho bolts visited either of them
When tho storm started tho street anil most
of the commercial light currents were cut
off. Tho Ice cream festival under the aus
pices of the "Y" was iu progress wheu the
storm nroso and a sudden oxtlugulshmont of
tho lights, quickly followed by loud claps of
thunder placed quite a dumper upon tho
festivities tora while.
When tho tones of thunder first pealed
forth Mrs. William Hilton was sitting on the
front porch of her residence on West
Centre street. As the storm became more
threatening she made a hasty retreat and
stumbled over a foot-stool, dislocating one
01 Dor arms at the elbow.
John Starr was near his homo on East Coal
street, opposlto I'liim alloy, when a bolt of
lightening struck a curb stone at tho corner
of the alley and tho street. It was several
moments after before Mr. Starr fully realized
that he had not passed iuto that realm where
wings are in vogue
A number of young men standing in front
of the Factory shoo store, at tho northweit
coiner of Main and Ceutro streets, were
spectators of an extraordinary sight, occa-
sionod by a bolt of lightning passing over
tlio Kltno proporty on tho east side of Main
street, drop to tho west rail of the Schuylkill
Traction track, and then glldo with marvel
ous rapidity southward.
An electric light wire leading' into Louis
Goideu's clothing storo on South Main street
was allected. Tlio only damago done was the
burning of tho wire a distance of about
twelvo feet into tho storo, but tho occupants
01 1110 piaco were almost crazed by fright
Councilman D. 11. James and Alf. Morgan
were In tho latter's shoo storo on West Oak
street, ongaged iu a discussion of the possi
bilities of Klondiko and gutrfboots. when n
ball of flro skipped along an electric light
wire on tho celling of tho storo. At the
centro of the ceiling the ball of tiro drowned
to tho floor. It disappeared, but did not leave
the slightest trace of its place of exit. The
bolt entered at tho rear of tho building.
A. J. Schooner's pool room on West Centre
street was visited by a bolt that badly
scorched the wall paper and wrenched a gas
pipe. Curtains which wore about to becomo
Ignited were pulled from their fastenings by
ot-cupamsoi rue place anil tlicro was no
further damago.
A house on Apple alley, about 100 feot
west of Gilbert street, occupied by the
family of Itohert Itolierts, was struck by
lightning. Tho bolt first hit and badly
damaged tho chimney on tlio roof, passed
diagonally through n garret window to tho
front part of tho roof, struck and bent tho
tin leader and passed along tho spouting
down to tho ground, ripping out
a largo plcco of board before
taking its final departure At about
tho same timo a holt struck a chiranev
of a house occupied by the family of John
Uillcnsnyder, corner of Gilbert street and
Apple alley, passed down along tho stove
pipe to tho sitting room 011 tho first lloor and
left a small, round black holo in tlio oil cloth
and carpet. Mr. Dillcnsnydor's sou, Henry,
was kneeling hesido tho stovo in tho sitting
room, praying, whon tho lightning struck.
As tho bolt descended ho was knocked with
great forco against a door about six feet
distant, but escaped injury. Mrs. Uobort
Boperts was so badly shocked when the
lightning struck her houso that she was 1111-
consolous for several minutes and vomited
cousiderably after she recovered ponsclous-
noss.
Tho only damago reported from tho col
lieries was tlio breaking of tho flag polo at
tho Shenandoah City colliery, which was
struck by lightning.
Tlio houso of John Snack, at Yatesville.
was struck by lightning. Tho houso is lo
cated near tho old slope of tho Knickerbocker
colliery. Tlio bolt struck tho chimney on
tho roof and passed down to the cellar. In
its descout it wiccked a bureau iu a bedroom
and a marble slab from the bureau was hurled
over two children who were aslcop in a bed
In tho room. Tholab was shattered on tho
floor on tho oppositoSldo of tlio bed.
BARELY ESCAPED DEATH.
A Train Killed Two Horses at Trenton
This Morning.
Two men barely escaped death on tho Le
high Valley railroad at Trenton, near
Delano, this morning. They wero Andrew
Pickum, a butcher of Mahanoy City, and a
friend named Michael Madura. At about
eight o'clock this morning they tried to boat
passenger train No. 0 ut a railway crossing,
but tho train made tho most speed. Their
two horses wero struck and Instantly killed
and tho wagon was badly wrecked. Plckum
and Madura wore throwu high in tho air and
rell several feet from tho railroad. Tho
former sustained no Injury and Madura only
received scratches and bruises about tho face.
They had a remarkable escape.

Tho campaign In the First Legislative dis
trict is a most remarkable 0110 iu many re
spects. Postoffices, government positions,
mine foremaushlps, clerkship, and what not,
are being recklessly promised John J.
Coyle In the hope to stem the tide that has
set In against him. Ho knows Mat he is a
defeated man, and it will only require the
announcement of the result on, Saturday,
when the convention will lie held, to verify
that statement. The writer knows whereof
ho speaks. Tho sentiment of the voters of the
district Is so strongly auti-Coyle that tho de
legates to the convention dare not vote con
trary to thoso expressions, no matter bow
many promises ho lias made them, and wbleh
ho knows ho can not fulfill. To live some
idea of the dosperato menus resoAed to by

we tako tho following from this morning's
Miners' Journal, contributed by a Mahauoy
City correspondent :
Mahanoy Citv, Aug. 4 The most sin

of tho Itepublicaus of the Mahanoy valley.

audacious political scheme to win that over

a positive promise that Mr. Edwards Is to lie

Wheu it was sugjested to ono of theso geu

Mrs. Trega, of Qllberton, has two sons-in-

sontatlvo is prepared to state positively that
neither Mr. Coylo nor Mr. Wyatt Iiub tho

fact that Mr. Hrumm has repeatedly declared
in tho past two weeks that ho has not mado
a promise as to any post olllce in tho county

Tho Hkuai.d is In a position to substantiate

Tho latter has made no promises, as his

came from every direction and formed
In long linen and patiently waited to
secure their credentials.
Prom the way in which new members
have been secured, Pennsylvania bids
fair to outstrip New York state, and
hold the honor of largest membership
in the league. Several enthusiastic
members stood outside the building,
and when they spied out any of their
friends who were not members; they
at once seised them and marched them
up to the clerk's desk. The work of

Flnanaittl Assistance Coming In-The Big
Sleeting In Pittsburg Expeoted to
Show That the Publio is In
Sympathy With the Men.
Pittsburg, Aug. 5. The miners' strike
situation has not changed materially
from last reports. Everything about
lire uurue ureea camp was quiet, the
only riDOle nf prrllomonl I.oImo- (I, a
hearing of President Dolan and the
inner omciais or t lie miners for riot
and unlawful assemblage. The strik
ers claim 20 new accessions to their
ranns yesterday. A careful estimate of
the men now at work in that mine
shows 216 out of the usual total of 286.
No work was done at the Oak Hill or
Sandy Creek mines. The catup was re
duced In numbers today by 800 men.
They were sent to their homes for two
reasons to lessen the expenses, and be
cause these men were not Inclined to
respond to the numerous marching or
ders imposed on them. The camp has
been costing $300 a day to keep it in
provisions, etc., being at the rate of
seven cents per day per man, as against
19 cents per uay In the National Guard
encampment. The customary march
was made to Plum Creek this morning,
and will be continued daily, the miners'
ofilclals say, until the suspension in
the DeArmltt mines is complete.
In the hearing of the case ot Presi
dent Dolan and others for riot and un
lawful assemblage, before Justice
Semmes, a number of witnesses were
heard, but the justice reserved his de
cision until this afternoon. The hear
ing of the four miners arrested last
week at the McGovern mines, near
Canonsburg, for trespass, was con
cluded yesterday. None of the de
fendants nppeared at the hearing, and
they were held in contempt. Attach
ments were issued for their arrest.
Secretary Warner paid his compli
ments to President DeArmltt, ot the
New York nnd Cleveland companyj In
no very choice terms. The reason for
this was the publication of tho story
that Mr. DeArmltt had said that $10,000
had been sent Into the Pittsburg dis
trict by the West Virginia operators.
In order to bring about a strike of the
miners In this district and thus force
the price of coal up.
Organizer Cameron Miller Is arrang

miners to take place at Itoscoc, In the

can only got a little more financial as
sistance they will easily win the strike.
anu are straining every nerve to ac
compllBh their end. The miners at the
ocnmocK mines, on the Bedstone
brnnch of the Pennsylvania railroad,
have came out again and the mines are
closed down. This Intelligence caused
the price of coal to Jump from 75 cents
to $1 a ton, and brokers say there will
probably be another advance of $1.50
per ton before the end of next week.
Eight hundred workingmen, headed
by a band, marched through the streets

Tangier, Morocco. Aug. 6. The diffi
culty over the discrimination of the
authorities of Morocco against Ameri
cans In refusing to permit them to em
ploy native help, a privilege allowed
Europeans, has been adjusted. The ar
rival of the United States warships at
Tangier brought the local authorities
to terms, and the subsequent demon
stration by the Baletgl, at the ports
along the coast completed the lesson.
The special commission headed by Mr.
Carleton is now pressing the govern
ment to settle claims of Ampi-ii-nim fm-
indemnity, tho prim Ipal one being that
of the agent of an American firm at
