MAN KlLLEs.-During the heavy storm

named John Zweck, living in the Bavarian
Settlement. near Cold Spring, in this coun-

inside the house: his companion leaning for
ward, the woman sewing, and himself sit

prising the side Of the house. The subtle
fluid entered the head of Zweck, coming out
at his side, killing him instantly, but with
out affecting in the least either of the two
persons sitting beside him! A man nam
ed Michael Nibler, lying on bed near by,
was severely injured, his hands being rem
dered useless, It i 8 feared for life A little
child Of Nibler's was also injured by the
ignitlng Of some cartridges. Zweck leaves .
family. Another feature of this strange af-
fair is that but few months more than two
years ago, brother Of Zweck's was killed
by lightning near the same place. =
