THE return judge of the Second ward
Republican primary election in 1879, was
on hand at the meeting of the county
committee yesterday, and we expected
every moment to see some one get up
in his behalf and move to investigate
the Examiners charge of the fraud in his
ward in 1879. But no one stirred on that
behalf.

A number of foreign buyers have been

it is not improbable that they may have

More Lightning Strokes.

Daring the storm about 7:3O o'clock yes
terday morning, the lightning struck the
two story frame house, No. 127 De Bow
street. The house is occupied by Mis-. Ho;-
mes and family and at the time of the ACCT
dent no one was around but herself and
daughter.
The shock is described as terrific, but,
strange to say, it was felt to a greater ex-
tent by the neighbors, several of whom were
stunned, while the inmates of the building
were unharmed. The bolt descended on the
chimney, which was tossed into the air over
fifty feet, and the bricks were sent flying in
every direction. A portion of the roof was
also torn up, but the damage was compare
lively slight. Considering the great force of
the shock it is almost miraculous that no per-
sonal injury was sustained.
At 7:30, yesterday morning, the house No.
2 Pacific street, occupied by Mr.. @. H.
Hunt, of Superintendent Winters office,
was struck by lightning. Brick from the
chimney was scattered all over the yard, but
the building was little damaged.
Eight persons were collected
in one room, about to sit
down to breakfast, and all felt the shock
moro like the blow--like sensation of a
great air conclusion than an electric shock,
and the servant girl was positive she saw q
great ball of blue fire pass through the room
near to, bat behind Mrs. Hunt.

Be it enacted, etc. That from and aftel
the passage of this act, the pay of all deputy

A Lively Hurdle Race.

The English residents of LaMars and vi
cinity got up hurdle race Saturday and the
event drew auch a crowd as LaMars never
contained before. Some gentlemen of St.
Paul witnessed the race and from their de-
scription the affair was lively one. Four
horses were in the race. The course led
over four hurdles and both riders and horses
done we'll. One of the riders, one of the we'll
known Chase brothers, had the misfortune to
get q fall in which his collar bone was broken
but he took the punishment kindly, saying
he broke his collar bone for the benefit of
the crowd. Another bold rider met with a
worse accident. He was practicing at the
hurdles after the race, when his horse was
thrown, the rider under. Then the horse
rolled over him and finally in its struggles to
get up planted its feet on the unlucky riders
person. The name of this unfortunate rider
was not known to the visitors, but they
found he was seriously hurt

Incontestable Policies.

The insurance at a low cost, and with large

the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of New

Hon. N. PERRY, Equitable Agency, Newark.
Dear Sir: You are at liberty to use my name
as endorsing the Equitable Society's Tontine
plan of insurance. The best recommendation
l can give is statement of my own policy No.

year Endowment for $3, 900, the Tontine period
ends this year, the annual premium is $l47. &c.
have paid altogether, during the eleven years,
81, ,624.26. 1 am now offered as a cash value
for this policy 81 ,895,37, or a paid-up policy
for $2.64O.
l prefer another settlement however, and
have determined to continue my policy for
$S, ,0O0-for nine years longer-until its ma
turity. The accumulated dividends to the
credit of my policy, which may now draw in
cash, amount to $594.57. These if converted
into an annuity and added to the annual divi-
dend, will amount to $l21.32, and will reduce
my premium for 1881 to S2634, and will simi-
larly reduce it for subsequent years. Instead
Of taking this annuity L have determined to
Use the accumulated dividends to pay for ad-
ditional insurance payable at the maturity of
my policy. Such a record believe is without
parallel in the history of auy other company.

FelIInto a Cellar.

A painfol accident took place early yester.
day morning which almost resulted seriously
to the son and daughter of we'll known
citizen. About 2 o'clock Mr.. Henry 8. Haas,
wife, son and daughter left Standard hall on
jackson street, and turning out Fifth street,
they started to walk home. Miss Henrietta
Haas and her brother Lewis preceded their
mother and fathar, and when near the corner
of Robert street they were precipitated into
an excavation. The fall was three or four
feet, and the excavation was caused by the
absence of a sidewalk which had been taken
up to facilitate the construction of build
ing. Both Mr.. Haas and his sister were
painfully injured. Miss Haas sustained q
severe cut in the head, and Mr.. Haas was in
jured about the back, arms, hands and legs.
A carriage was procured, and they were taken
to the residence of their parents.
