Last Wednesday morning the lightning
cavoorted round in a reckless and promis-
cuous manner, and in its meanderiDgs did
considerable damage. d. Horrigan's hay
stack was struck and burned, it contained
about twenty-five tons. Two stacks OF
wheat were also burned on the farm OF
Valentine Bros, about one mile west OF
Hancock. There was several stacks of
grain slightly damaged in various places
in this county, but fortunately it rained
heavily and quenched tho fires. A valua-
BILE colt on Mr.. G. X. Lights farm, the
property of j. D. Good, was also killed
that morning.
A young man named Charles A. Bak-
kin, son of Henry Bakkin, of Elbow
Lake, was accidentally shot at Herman
one day last week. 1t appears that he was
putting loaded musket into his wagon,
and had taken the prccaution to remove
the cap, but some of the sulphur or com
position was left on the nipple and the
hammer struck something in the wagon
with sufficient force to explode. The en-
tire charge took effect in his arm. tearing
and decorating the flesh and barring the
muscles from wrist to elbow. The young
man was brought to this place for medical
treatment, and hopes are entertained that
amputation will not be necessary.
Any thing that will held an ounce OF
shot and about four drachms of powder ID
now brought forward, and sundry ours,
pups and other animals are likewise
brought into requisition for the purpose Of
exterminating the gentle chicken. 1t i.
surprising that some of the guns used dc
not work as much damage to the party
using it, as it does on the game. Wepasse(
small boy the other day, who was armed
with musket that was tied to its stock BY
strings, the hammer would not stay cooked
but was held by the youngster until he go
bead on his bird, when he would let 1t go
Thus equipped that boy didn't give con
tinental wether school kept or not.
Last Monday evening severe storm Q
wind and rain swept over this section ant
did considerable damage to the crops no
yet stacked. Some of the lumber in tn
yards at this place was considerably mike
and damaged, but a few hours work 500
put it into shape. The wind blew furious
ly. the thunder crashed and lightnin
blazed till the scene was sublimely awful
Mr.. John Barry had his entire crop Q
wheat burned. 1t was cut with heade
and put up in long ricks, and the fir
spread from one to the other until the Ell
tire crop on his thirty five acres was burned
We were not able to learn of any insuranc
and it will probably be total loss.

ANOTHER GIRL .1STR1Y.
Persuaded 10 Journey from Philadelphia
Her Timely Escape after Arriving Here.

Bertha Birthy, pretty brunette OF lG

cd the iron rail in front Of the
desk ut the Fifth street police station
last evening. and said to Sergeant Haggerty
that she desired protection. She said that
she lived with her parents at AZ Ian

ANOTHER BOSTON DEFfLcaTTOM
A Bank Cashier Ruined by Specializing In
bonanza Mining stocks.

Boston, Aug. 3.-The directors Of the
Elliott National Bank OF this city recently asccr-
tanned that their cashier. II. b. Conant. is q de-
faulter to quite large amount. and at the re-
quest Of these officials the cashier resigned a
day or two since. II Is thought that the bank
will not be seriously affected, ms Conant's bonds
are s25 900. and the bondsmen are able TO pay.
The deiacaton. though known to the directors
for several days, has been carefully kept from
the public until to-day. 1t seems that the first
knowledge the officers Of the bank had that any
thing was wrong was on Tuesday last. when
Mr.. Conant went To Mr.. Goodwin. the President
of the Dank, and told him that he (Conantl was a
ruined man, and that the state prison stared
him in the face Mr.. Goodwin was much sur
prised and on induiring what he meant Mr..
Conant replied that he had embc2zed from the
bank and lie desired a meeting OF the directors
TO be- called. rs he wished to make n full confess
sion. meeting Of the directors was called on
Wednesday. and Mr.. Conant made a voluntary
and full confession Of all that had taken place.
He said that he had taken about 10000, which
he mad lost in California mining stocks COM
monty known rs the Bonanza mines. His
operations in these stocks commenced some
time ago. but he never used any money of the
bank until within the last three months. when
he was called upon TO make good margins on
account OF q great depression in the value Of
the stock

HIYEs's THICK HEAD.
Unable TO Realize how Much he has Under
taken In Attempting to Crush Coniiing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-Such supporters Of
the Administration in New York as have jour
neyed to Washington TO confer with Hayes and
Sherman are not much satisfied with the result
They say that the Administration appears
to DO wholly unaware how big task it has
begun in fighting Conking. and equally
unable to see the need Of sharp fight
ing II 1t is to win. The appointment
Of Johnny OBrien puts the entire election ma
chinery Of New York city into the hands Of
Conkling's friends. and the Administration
ought to see to it that Johnny Davenport agrees
to do his duty. or see that he Is removed by the
United States Judge having the power OF re-
moval. There are other Offices scattered over
New York that the reform and Hayes Repub-
leans think ought to be empted. and
empted right speedily. but Hayes cannot
be got to do anything OF promise anything. al
though after the sudden surprise he gave his
New York friends in the Custom House re-
movals they are ready for almost anything.
One bit OF wisdom Hayes seems to have learned.
He tells his Ohio friends who are crowding him
to give them appointments in the New York
Custom House that 1t must be postponed until
after election. 1t will not DO now.

HAYEs's GUILTY COMPLETELY.
Burke's Testimony sufncient to Impeach the
Man In the White House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A member OF the
Potter Committee recently summarized the
facts proved by Burke's testimony, by saying
that he looked upon tho evidence adduced as
already showing land Burkes testimony is as
yet by no means all I'M that conference was
held between representatives OF HAYES and the
two Democratic State Governments In South
Carolina and Louisiana, at which 1t was
agreed that the count should proceed. and
Hayes should be declared President This
agreement was afterward enlarged to include
the election Of two Republican Senators from
Louisiana. and was ratified by Hayes in an in
tervlew March with Burke and Randall Glib
son. and was completed and executed by the
MacVeagh Commission. This conversation
concluded with this pregnant utterance from
the member:
III this be not corrupt bargain and sale II is
difficult to understand what would constitute
such a thing. 1t Is the opinion Of the ablest
lawyers with whom l have conversed that II
proof OF this bargain Is completed the House OF
Representatives will be forced by public senti-
ment to present articles oiimpeachmenta against
Hayes. and that the Senate as now constituted
even would almost unanimously find him guilty
and remove him from office. This. OF course
would open the way for Mr. Wheeler to step into
the Presidential chair. but proof which would
be sufficient TO remove Hayes on impeachment
would show that Mr.. Wheeler. as well rs Hayes.
was corrupty bargained for and counted In.
and that in the light Of public sentiment at such
time it ia not believed that Mr.. Wheeler would
or could accept the place. This would require
President pro tempore to DO inaugurated as
President I'D interim until another election could
take place. which could not DO under the Con-
stitution and laws prior to November. 1879. even
II conviction should be had at the next session
OF Congress. But the probabilities are that In
case Of impeachment the trial will take place
after the 4th Of March. whom the Senate would
be convened In extraordinary session for that
purpose. The Senate would then be Democratic.
and the President pro tempore. who would DO
