Mr.. JAS. Weinman's residence on Seventh
street, between Cedar and Plum, was struck
by lightning during Monday nights storm,
and severely damaged. Mr.. Weinman had
just closed the windows in his room and was
in the act of stepping into another room,
when the bolt of fire came, which stunned
him momentarily. The plastering, shingles
and rafters, which we're split into kindllng
wood, were flying around dangerously close
to all the occupants of the different sleeping
rooms. Mr.. W., as soon as he was able to
speak, called to his wife to save the children,
but strange to say none of them we're hurt,
although the plastering falling from the cell
ing literally buried them. After the first
fright was over Mr.. w. examined the dam
ages, and found that the bolt entered under
the stove in the kitchen and made hole the
size OF penny, and ripped Up
the zinc, passed up TIE stove
pipe to the roof, ripping off the
side boards and doing neat job of shing-
ling. then it appears the bolt returned and
passed through three sleeping apartments
and then into the ground. Mr.. w. says he
does not fancy those kind of visitors and is
not willing to entertain them and would much
rather they would stay away in the future.
frankie Weinman, a young boy ID years of
age, did not wake up and would in all
PROBABILITY be sleeping now if his mother had
