Four Men Killed by Lightning.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug 6.-Thursday af-
ternoon group of 20 men, all white road
hands, were standing close to the house of j.
III. Clyburn. near Hartville, when stroke of
lightning killed four and wounded ten of the
number. Five of the wounded are seriously
hurt and may die. There was no storm at the
time, but heavy rain fell shortly afterward.
Further details of the catastrophe by light
ming in Darlington county show the party ICON
sisting Of twenty white men who had been at
work on the public highway, had stopped un-
der an oak tree for rest and shelter from the
sun. Clouds were visible at a distance and
rain was falling some miles away but in that
immediate locality the sky was clear and moth
ing indicated the presence of electricity. One
for water when suddenly terrific crash
startled him, and turning he behed his COM
panions, some kdead, some completely para

THE PRESIDENT.
His Condition Remains About
the Same.
THE INTENSE HEAT CAUSES
A FEBRILE RISE.
No Serious Result Appreciated
However.

The President passed very comfortable day
Saturday notwithstanding the heat, which
was intense. On account of strong hot wind
from the south it was found impracticable even
with the full capacity of the refrigerating ma
chimes to keep the temperature of the Presi-
dents room down without closing the doors
and windows, and this was thought not pru-
dent to do Cold air enough was furnished by
the machines, but instead of filling the room
and crowding the heated air, as it had before
on warm days, the cold air itself was swept
away almost as fast as it came from the pipes
by the hot wind which blew strongly through
out the Mansion. The thermometer in the
patients room, therefore, for the first time
in several weeks, ranged from IS to 90. This
temperature of course operated to the Presi-
dents disadvantage, in his present weak con-
dition, and his afternoon fever was higher
than usual There was no indication however
of any other cause for the increased febrile
rise. The discharge of pus at the evening
dressing was satisfactory. There were no
symptoms of malaria, and with the single ex-
ception of higher bodily temperature, the con-
dition of the patient at o'clock seemed quite
as good as Friday if not better. Soon after the
evening examination the fever began to abate
The President went to sleep naturally without
anodynes.

AParty of Tramps Take Possession of "a
Freight Depot
PRESCOTT, Ont, Aug. Ga party of II
tramps arrived here today, having boarded a
freight train at Brockville and reached
their destination, despite the remon-
strances Of the conductor and hands on the
train. Upon arriving, they proceeded to go
through the freight sheds, examining the arti-
cles stored therein. They threatened to re-
sent interference, and for time did as they
pleased. The arrival of several trains later,
with their complement of men, inspired conf
dence among those in charge, and with their
assistance the tramps were driven to the woods,
stones being freely used. Nearly all the
tramps were armed, but they did not use their
weapons.

THE II GOICAL CONGRESS-.
Female Practitioners Not to be Admitted
to the Meetings.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA London dispatch
says that great dissatisfaction was caused last
week by a decision of the International
Medical Congress not to admit lady doctors to
the meeting. Forty-three properly qualified
lady practitioners entered a protest against
their exclusion from the practical meetings,
although the ladies wore admitted to the six
preceding congresses. The protest had no
effect. 1t is stated in letter to the Daily
News that the decision of the congress was in.
fuenced by the Queen.
At preliminary meeting of the executive
committee majority were in favor of ladies
being admitted, but they were overruled by
Sir William Jenner who declared that he was
empowered to remove the name of the Queen
as patron of the congress if lady doctors were
admitted to the medical meetings.
