many Spaniards was condemnatory Of the action

One OF those fearful occurrences which, from their
rarity and suddenness as well as their inevitable
ness, I'LL the observer with feeling Of awe and
sernation, happened Saturday about noon. A party

were compelled to desst and seek shelter from It's

along tile wall ana the no0r, the cracking of
splinters and a tremendous crash like the bursting
OF mine, and Eisef the principal witness, fell
stunned upon the floor. He was insensible for few
moments, but recovering consciousness he ran OUT,
terror stricken scarcely alive to the surroundings
The drenching rain soon revived him. and he ran
back to the barn. Bowling and Miner were lying
dead dead upon the aoor lust where moment @ before
Running out again. nearly bewildered. Eiser saw
STACK stretched upon the ground liieless. Gradu-
ally becoming less excited he looked round to see If
he was tile sole survivor OF the awful catastrophe
and beheld Schaenfeld, Kennappel and Schultz TO-
gether The last named man was lying down gr0an-
Ing, the other two standing over him. HIS legs and
thighs were both iearfuliy burned. Schaenleld was
quite deaf, the shock having temporarily parayzed
the organs OF hearing number Of persons flocked
rapidly to the spot and carried the corpses ana the
suffering man into the house OF Mr.. PERL
The barn presents q strange appearance. Tne
bolt struck it at one corner, whence the subtle
essence passed through to the opposite slde

men, and Eser says he saw the lightning run
along the floor between the men before iC exploded.
The bodies present no signs whatever OF violence.
The faces are all calm, placid and undisturbed, and
the dead men wear the appearance OF sleepers.
Their clothes were uninured. The Coroner held an
inquest yesterday afternoon when the facts above
given were fully corroborated by Schacnfeld Eiser
and Andrew Kennappel. Schultz had been conveyed
to his home, where he was attended by doctor.
1t is hoped he will recover. The jury returned q
verdict that Henry Miner, Thomas STACK and
Patrick Bowling came to their death the 4th day
Of June, 1s7O by beng struck by lightning IN the

From time immemorable the fraternity Of Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons has enjoyed an almost
exclusive privilege OF performing those rites attend
upon the laying OF the stones in the erec-
tion Of pubic buildings and national monuments
Yesterday the craft had grand gala day in the
practice OF their impressive and imposing cere-
monies onshe occasion OF laying the -'frst OF
the corner at the foundation OF a Masonic temple
whlch ltls anticipated viii outshne n magnifcence
any structure for similar purpose in America.
Never at least in this country since the day when
upon the trestle board TIL the present, there
witnessed such hurrying To and fro such lutter
O. excitement and such gathering OF the bands.
When ane reflects that Freemasons are understood
no beeclectea from the OF men, not only by
reason or their physical perfection, but by virtue Of
Vhar intellectual qualifications, and have, as
Distinguishing mark, been invested with
q badge more honorable than the Golden
Fleece Roman eagle, and that, in addition TO this,
the members OF the Grand Lodge are those who
have been especially selected from their brethren
and advanced step by step in reward for unblem-
Ished honor and faithful discharge of every duty,
then, and then only, does gain just idea OF the
dignity and importance OF such assemblage as
that OF yesterday in the Masonic mind.
