Effects of Lightning.
HORSE KILLED-BARN BURNED-A LARGE
QUANTITY OF HAY DESTROYED.

A HORSE KILLED-BARN BURNED-A LARGE
QUANTITY OF HAY DESTROYED.
Durlug the thunder storm yesterday
afternoon about 8 y clock lightning struck
frame barn on the farm Of Col. John
w. A ndrews, and before the flames could
he gotten under control the building
was entirely consumed by fire. The
building contained about sixty tons OF
fine timothy hay, which was also de-
troyed together with a number OF sets OF
harness. The place IL farmed by George
White who together with number oi
men we're engaged at work in one ofthe
fields.
AS the storm approached they quit
work, and, ungearing their horses, start
ed for the barn. just rs the men bad
placed the hMsts In their respective
stalls, a bolt of lightning struck grey
mare, killing her instantly. The bolt
seemingly struck the animal on the back
as that portion of her body was very
badly torn. The men and the other
horses were somewhat stunned by the
shock. As soon as the men recovered
from the effects of the shock, they start
ed to axe the horses out Of the building.
In doing SO thel had considerable DIM
culy. They could not lead them out,
and 80 were compelled to hack them a
con lderable distance. The first intima-
| ton the men had of the building oelnR
on fire, was when they returned to the
building and found 1t ablaze.
Upon m king the discovery, Mr..
WI ite Immediately despatched one OF
bis boys Oh horseback 10 this city to give
the alarm. The fire companies located
below Fifth street responded, but only
the Washington and WeccacOe reached
the scene OF the fire. They immediately
went into service, and through thor
Efforts saved number of adjoining
bui dings After the flames had been
sub lued, Mr.. white handed Chief Engi
neer Tazwell, who was present, two
tw, nty dollar bills, with the request that
he present one to each company.
Mr.. White cannot a. present estimate
his loss, but the hay alone was worth
81 200 He was not insured but Col.
An lrews has an insurance OF $500 on th e
hay and like amount on the barn in
the Farmers Mutual Insurance Com
paiy. Had it not been for the firemen
the loss would have been much greater,
AS there is no doubt that the adjoining
bui dIngs would have ignited, but apleu-
titt,l supply of water from the engines
| saw I'd them.

.4nother Hancock Recruit.

SHREVEPORT, La, July Is, 1880.
The Times to-day publishes an ex-
tract from a private letter from Col
onel George Williamson, now IN
Austin, Texas, declining the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress in
this district, and declaring his inten-
ton to support Hancock. He says
Hancock represents the magnani-
nifty and honor of the military and
civil element of the North that wish
es bygones to be bygones. Garfield,
on the contrary, represents that pol
itical element Of the North that
lives upon the past and glories in
Northern sectionalism, while it de
nounces yet, fosters and lives upon
Southern sectionalism.

MESTs TO TIRE ELECTION LAWS SUGGESTED
EFFECT OF THE LAWS OF 1870.
John l. Davenport was again before the
Wallace Committee yesterday, and again pro-
voked the Democratic members with his
records of Democratic naturalization frauds.
He showed that the wholesale naturalization OF
1868 was a carefully laid scheme. by quoting
the orders for blank certificates and appica-
tions given out in October of that
year. He also produced the depOsltiOns
of several thousand persons who had
received these fraudulent papers. Sena-
tors Wallace end Mcdonald cross.exam-
ined him at great length, but were care
full to touch upon only the minor points of
his testimony. Mr.. Davenport, at the request
OF the Committee, suggested number OF altera-
tions in the existing election laws.
