A Telegraph Operator Killed hy
LiEh1ninE.

From the Boston Herald, July l2]
Lizzie M: Clapp, telegraph operator al
the Readyille station Of the Boston and
Providence Railroad in Hyde Park, was
struck by lightning at O'Clock P. NJ YES
terday and instantly killed. It appears that
Miss Clapp, with her sister Eta, Miss Lotta
Garberson, and E. P. Davis, the station
agent. were in the Office together. The wires
had been disconnected from the instruments
to insure safety, and no message was sent
or received after the storm commenced.
About 2 P. NJ. Miss Clapp was sitting on
the window in close proximity to the wires.
When the bolt struck it flew from the wire,
striking her on the left side of the neck.
leaving black mark, which subsequently
EXTENDED down her breast She arose to her
feet after being struck, gave one piercing
scream, and sank to the floor lifeless. Peo.
pie at Canton flats, short distance from
the station, say that they saw ball of
electricity passing along the wires toward
the station at that time. Mr.. Davis repre-
sents the crash as deafening. Miss Clapp
was eighteen years of age, daughter of
A. G. Clapp of this town, and had been in
the employ of the Western Union Company
here four years. She was an amiable lady
and a competent operator. It is thought
that string of gold beads around her neck
attracted the electricity, as they were melt
Land neither these nor the lady's ear-drops
can be found.

Partisan Bitterness in Kentucky.

In Carlisle, KY, on the Fourth, James
Blair, was killed, and James Quiet, Sheriff
of Nicholas county, was wounded. The
battle-fag, borne during the war, by the
Federal cavalry regiment of which the late
Col. Leonidas Metcalfe was the commander.
was displayed early in the day, very much
to the annoyance of many of The citizens.
Some indiscreet remarks III regard to the
history of the flag had been made on the
streets that served to fan the feeling of dis
satisfaction into bitterness, and some of the
citizens, seeing the trouble likely to arise,
went to the person in whose charge the flag
was and advised it's removal. The request
was cheerfully complied with, and he was
in the act of removing it, when he was ap-
preached by some young men with pro-
test against it's removal, and with such et-
feet that it was allowed to remain. A little
later some of the young men were standing
by the stone wall around the Court House
square. There hot words were irdulged in.
Sheriff James Quiett went into the crowd
with the view of preserving the peace. Then
a pistol was fired, and he was slightly
wounded on the left side of his head. A
moment later another pistol was fired, and
James Blair was fatally wounded.
