KNOXVILLE, Aug. 11.-Ex-P President johnson
spoke here last evening, two hours and quar-
ter. Johnson said he was no candidate for
office. The government has been drifting from
the constitutional moorings, and become a play

hdence between sections, and reform of SER
vice, He pleaded for a return of the ancient
| reverence of the constitution and official obl-
cations.

About half past four yesterday afternoon,
thunder showers that it has known for years,
the lightning striking in several places, while
the rain, which fell in torrents for nearly half an
hour, badly washed the streets in several locali-
ties and washed out the foundations of several
new buildings, while the amount of water that
entered the sewers was so great that it "set
back" in many places, badly flooding a number
of cellars. The flashes of lightning, though
not so vivid as are sometimes witnessed, fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession and seemed
to all come directly to the earth in this city and
vicinity. The thunder, though not as heavy as
is often heard, was sharp and quick, the reports
following each other as rapidly as the flashes
of lightning, the reports in many cases being
double. The whole force of the storm, which
had been gathering for several hours, appeared
directly over the city, and ii seems remarkable
that, with such severe storm apparently very
close TO the ground, the damage by both light
ming and water was not far in excess of what it
really was The amount of electricity in the
air interfered seriously with the working of the
fire alarm telegraph, and il is fortunate that
where the lightning struck the houses were not
fired, as it would have been very difficult to
give an alarm definitely. When box No. 90, at
Washington square, was pulled the alarm first
struck tweutyiour, then sixty-three and again
six, while it is certain that only box No. 60 was
pulled, and in every case the alarm did not re-
peat but once, when II should have repeated
five times. Immediately after the termination
of the shower the alarm was put in good condi-
ton for use.
The first place visited by the lightning was at
the beginning of the shower, and was the
most serious Of them all, but fortunately, no
one was fatally injured. The house struck was
on Harrison street, and owned by Mr.. William
Adams. The electric current first struck the
chimney, and passed down TO the roof, where il
appears to have separated, part going down the
chimney through the house, tearing of laihs
and plastering in great quantities. In the front
room, on the lower floor II Mrs. Woodward, of
Marlboro, was sitting under picture with n
gilt frame. The current took the plastering off,
passed to the picture, removing all the gild ing,
and then to Mrs. Woodward passing from her
head oil over her body, tearing her clothing,

SHOOTING AND STABBING AFFRAY.-Satur-
day night the place known as the peoples
saloon" on Main street, between Thomas and
School streets, was the scene of one of the most
lively fights that has taken place in this city for
some time On Wednesday evening three men
went to the saloon, and, finding it closed

dence of hard usage, the plastering having been
broken in different places by the different
missiles that were thrown. The attacking party
