Other Places Were Struck, But no Serious
Damage Was Sustained From Any of
the Bolts-Child Killed by the
Lightning at Centralla.
Tko thunder and electrical storm that
visited this town last evening was the most
sovere for several years and thero wero a
number of Instances where nervous and
timid people wcro almost prostrated by tho
effects of tho thunder claps nnd startling
flashes of lightning.
The rain fell in torrents. Hooding tbe
streets and sowers, and in sovcral parts of
the town flooding basemeuU of houses, but
this part of the storm was more beneficial
than otherwise, as tbe floods carried with
them in their mad paco much unsightly and
unwholesome mattor which had covered some
streets and filled many of the gutters. The
result was that after the storm the streets
presented an appearance of cleanliness that
was pleasing to look upon.
The lightning's work was not so gratifying.
although It is well that no disasters wero re
corded In tho town. Thre houses were
struck by lightning during thil storm, ono at
403 South Jardin street, occupied by a Polish
family, and two on West Cherry street, the
houses being occupied by tbo families of
Lance Parker and Patrick Gibbons, lu all
instances the chimneys of the buildings wero
struck, but uot demolished. The family In
the Jardin street houso was at supper when
the lightning struck. They say tbe lightning
seemed to play about the room in which they
wero sitting, but none of them sustained
Injury, nor were any of them rendered un
conscious. Tho head of tbo family, in de
scribing the autlcs of lightnlug, said to a re
porter, "Him come down ono chimney and
turn up other one."
The lightning s bolts visited a number of
other places, but with no serious effects. A
clothes prop iu tho yard at tbe rear of tho
bouse occupied by William Hilton a family,
on West Centre streot, was broken in two
plum trco at the rear of Alex. Klukuld's
residence, on South Jardin street, was split :
and a trie lu front of tho Crobaugh residence,
111 East Coal street, was struck.
A FATAL STRIKE,
Tho only fatality reported In this region
through the lightning's work occurred nt
rentralia. Tho nlue-year-old daughter of
John Gaughan was looking out a second
story window at her home while the storm
prevailed and was iustantly killed by a bolt
The fire alarm system was thrown out of
servlco by the lightning burning out an im
portaut connection. The telephone service
was also Interfered with, but whs In service
agaiu this morning.
A board upon which oletlrte wires were
fastoned on a wood shed at tbo rear of I'.. C.

MAHER'S EASY VICTORY.
Tho "Irish Champion" Knook.a. Oat
by Two I.lttlo Punches.
New York. June 21. Peter Maher,
the Irish heavyweight pugilist, ecored
a Quick Tictory over his fellow country'
man. Mike Morrlssey, of Tlpperary,
before the Lenox Athletic club last
night. Morrlssey had been heralded
as an Invincible Irish champion
Matter sized his man up quickly and
went for him straight away. There
was apparently n fight in the new
comer. A light punch on the breast
and a right cross to the jaw were the
only blows struck, and these were de
livered by Maher. Maher weighed 174
pounds, and looked nt and well. Mor
rlssey had a retinue of handlers when
he reached tho ringside, and said he
weighed 182 pounds. The moment that
the men shaped It was clearly evident
that Morrlssey was afraid, and that
Maher had the easiest task ever erven
mm in his fighting career. Both fid
died for a few moments, and then
Maher went right to his man with a
light left lead, which landed lightly
on the chest, and sent his right over
to the Jaw. Morrlssey fell In a neutral
corner and lay there resting on his
right elbow, while Maher strutted
about the ring until the referee count
ed off ten seconds. Maher then walk
ed to his corner and the master of
ceremonies announced that Maher had
won and that the time of the bout was
35 seconds.

Now York, June 21. The coramls-sIotier-H
from Porto Hlco to the United
States feel, according to Dr. VS. Julio
Henna, one of their number, that they
and their adherents in Porto Hlco
have been treated scandalously by the
L'nited States government, and so they
have prepared a protest, which Dr.
Henna, after consultation with Dr. M.
Zcna Gandla, another commissioner,
gavu out. The protest eaya:
"Porto Rico finds itself at this mo
ment in an extraordinary situation.
The island is 'de facto' by virtue ot
actual occupation and 'de Jure by vir
tue of the tt'ijUy of peace between the
United States and Spain an integral
part of the territory of the United
States. Nevertheless, Us soli. Its ports,
its commerce: and Its Inhabitants are
not for any practical purpose cousld
ed American. The flag of the United
States floats over Porto Rico, but it
does not make American even the
children who are born under Its shade.
"Ships coming from United States
ports and entering a port of Porto Hlco
do not enter an American, but a for
eign port, and aro subject to pay cus
toms duties, tonnage duty, etc. The
commerce of Porto Rico with the rest
of the United States. Instead of being
free, as tho commerce between Massa
chusetts nnd Florida, of New York aud
Louisiana, Is burdened by a tariff,
heavier and more obnoxious than that
which was in force when Porto nico
was Spanish aud its commerce was
subject to the reciprocity arrange
ments which, under the inspiration cf
Mr. Blaine, wero concluded In 1800
between the United States and Spalu.
And although Porto Hlco is American
and Its government Is vested in Ameri
can officials, from the governor general
the health officer of tho humblest
port of the island, no protection is
given to any Porto Hlcan except upon
condition that It be carefully expressed
that he Is protected as a native Porto
Rlcnn, but not ns an American.
'Of liberty and self government the
Porto Rican people have not had as
et any taste. They are subject In all
things to tho supremo will of a mill
tary ruler; subject to on one else.
though lu lime ot peace, man tne com
mander-ln-chief of tho army of the

Cleveland. June 21. The Standard
Oil company Is preparing to get out of
Ohio. Its headquarters will be remov
ed from this city to New York, and
on July 1 its Ohio charter will be given
up. Tho office force here will ba re
duced from about CO men to less than
one-tenth that number. The recent In
corporation of the company In New
Jersey, with a capital of $110,009,000,
was the first step in the abandonment
of Ohio. An officer of the company
today confirmed the report of the ro-
moval of the offices and said that
Cleveland would hereafter bo only a
branch office like those maintained In
soveral cities.
It was suggested that the action of
th company was prompted by a desire
to avoid further litigation, such as was
Instituted by Attorney General Mo-
nctt, but the officer who gave the in
formation denied that such was the
case. Virgil P. Kline, the attorney for
the company, also said there was no
desire to escape litigation, and he
scouted the Idea that Attorney General
Motiet had driven tho company from
the stato.
