One Flash of Lightning.

The town of Richardson and vicinity
was visited by severe lightning storm
Sunday evening week. A Mr.. Stone,
living one and half miles from town,
fearing that the lightning might strike
his house, grasped his little boy in his
arms and called to his wife to follow,
started to hole dug in the ground and
covered, about one hundred yards from
the residence. They had got about half
way, when u bolt struck the father and
child, killing them instantly. Mrs.
Stone was thrown several yards, and
lay for some time insensible. The shoes
and clothing on Stone and his child
were literally torn into shreds.- GdiUes-

Rather an Unpleasant Test.

A party n few days since left New York
to test fire eXtiuguisher, and had sing
ular experience. The steamer Thomas
Hunt, with about fifty persons, left Pier
16, East river, at noon, and proceeded to
Princes bay, Staten Island, where the
extinguishers are manufactured. At this
point an abandoned canal boat was to
be used for the experiments. The hold
of the boat was partitioned off into sec
tions, one of which was filled with COM
bustible material. TO make sure of u
hot fire, two barrels of petroleum were
poured into the section by over-zealous
workmen. The eXtinguishing apparatus
being arranged, a torch was lighted and
thrust into the hole. The petroleum ex-
ploded instantly, blowing the old canal
boat into thousand pieces. Some thirty
persons were standing upon the boat,
and, singularly enough, only two were
injured. They were James Quinn, a
laborer, who was cut about the head
and his legs badly bruised and reporter
for the World, who received severe
cash on the chin.
The fire extinguishing apparatus con-

uified carbonic acid gas. An oil tank

Dilemma of a Tramp.

A tramp, who tried to steal ride
from Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Green
river, on the top of one of jarrett &
Palmer's cars recently, had terrible
experience. The rapid motion of the
car compelled him to wind his arms
and legs round n stove pipe, and hang
OH for dear life, and his coat and hat
were carried away by the force of the
wind. The burning-cinders pierced his
clothes like bullets, and cut and scorch-
ed his hands and face, SO that when he
reached Green river, the terror, exhaus-
ton and pain had made his hair turn
gray.

Ca" In Alabama two white penitentia-
ry convicts escaped from Mr.. j. w.
Conner about two weeks since in sin
gular way. On of them had been given
some arsenic to put upon fistula on a
horses neck. Instead of putting it
there, however, he put it in his pocket,
and when he and his comrade got the
chance to run away they threw down
on their tracks pieces of meat ON which
this arsenic was sprinkled. AS the dogs
would come upon the meat they devour-
ed it, of course, all the dogs in conse-
quence soon got sick and quit the drive.
Two of them have died. The convicts
thus far have eluded capture, and Mr..
Andrew Johnson, Mr. Comer's agent,
who went in pursuit of them immedi-
ately upon their escape, has not since
been heard from.

THE HOUSE has passed the Silver bill
by large majority. This bill makes the
silver dollar, though worth four cents
less than greenback dollar and six
cents less than gold dollar, a legal
tender for all debts. 1t is pity that
legislation upon financial matters could
not be placed on a body of men who had
some knowledge of the subject. As
general thing politicians and lawyers are
poor financiers except in so far as caring
for their individual interest is concerned.
They make great hue and cry about
the" " dollar of our daddies," but if they
only had some of the sense of their dad
dies the people generally would have a
chance to handle more dollars. This
continual tinkering at the finances up
sets every ones calculations and has n
tendency to keep all business at a stand
still.
If Congress, after passing the appro-
priation bills, would ajourn with guar
antee that it would not convene again
for two years, we believe the money
troubles would be settled by the people
in satisfactory manner.

On TUESDAY last elections were held
in twelve states. New York, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, Virginia and Wiscon-
sin elected State officers and legislatures.
Massachusetts,, Mississippi and Wiscon-
sin also voted upon proposed Constitu-
tional Amendments. Kansas, Nebraska,
and Pennsylvania elected State officers,
but not members of the Legislature.
Connecticut elected State Senators and
Representatives and county sheriff.
Pennsylvania has given Democratic
majority on the whole State ticket of
from 8 to 5000.
New Jersey has gone Democratic, Gen
eral Mcclellan being elected Governor
by about 5000.
Maryland has also gone Democratic
by probably $4,000 majority.
In Connecticut the result favors the
Republicans. The Legislature chosen
will possibly elect United States SEN
ator to succeed Senator Barnum.
In Virginia and Mississippi no Repub-
lican ticket was run, and of course the
Democrats had it all their own way.
Massachusetts rejects Gov. Rice, by
an increased Republican majority of
about 10000 over the vote of last year.
In Minnesota the Democrat and
GreenbaclS parties united but the Repub-
licans carry the State over both the fu-
sion and the Prohibitory ticket.
New York elects the Democratic State
ticket by about $4,000 The Legislature
will be Republican by small majority.
Wisconsin goes Republican by about
5000. The Greenbackers in that State
cast about 10000 votes.
Nebraska goes Republican by 1000 or
5000 majority.
