Terrible Thunder Storm.

A terrible storm passed over New
York, Brooklyn and long Island, on
Wednesday. During the funeral serv-
ices In the Evangelical Church at Green
Vile, for Wolfgang Stoecel, prominent
member of the Knights of Pythias, a
thunderbolt fell within few feet of the
building and shook 1t to its foundation.
a panic ensued in the church. Many
ladies tainted, and those who retained
their senses rushed for the door. Anoth-
er bolt struck the pole of one of the car
rlages outside the church and knocked
the horses down. The horses attached
to the other carriages were frightened
and ran away. They were, with diff
Guilty, recaptured. The minister sue
ceeded, finally, in restoring order in the
church, and the services were finished.
A lightning bolt darted out of the clouds
overhanging the suburbs of Brooklyn,
killing Theresa Kelley, aged 12, of 1,746
Dean street. The child was bareheaded.
She had been sent upon an errand, and
was at Buffalo avenue and Dean street,

milk and package of pot cheese. The
lightning struck the can in her hand,
and, running up her arm, left q purple
streak in its path. 1t burned her eye
brows and hair. She was thrown down,
and when first approached was not dead,
but she died soon after being removed to
the grocery. Her father, Bernard Kelly,
last night removed her body to his
home. The place where the accident oc-
Cured is sparsely settled. In garden
close by a laborer named Kenny was dig
ging with spade. He was paralyzed by
the same stroke that killed the girl, and
it was over two minutes before he was
able to let go of the spade. Then he
seemed to have lost the free use of his
limbs. The child's body turned black a
few hours after the accident.

The condition of the President at nine
O'Clock A. NJ, Monday, was satisfactory
to his physicians. They report him as
progressing slowly and they think
surely towards convalescence, though
they do not call him as yet out of
danger, and it will be several weeks
before all danger will be passed.

GUITEAU thinks it was the. first shot
that made the terrible wound in Mr..
Garfield; he says that the President
sank down, at that shot. When spoken
to on the subject Mr.. Garfield said: 81
think so too" He spoke of the terrible
shock he received when he felt the bull
let, and he says he felt his knees giving
away from under him. With the doc
tors he believes that the arm shot, which
only grazed the skin, would not have
affected him so much. His recollections
of the entire affair are very clear.

LABOR TROUBLES.
The Sw,tchmeu.s Strike.

CHicaCo, Ill, May 4. The situation OF
the switchmcn's strike is unchanged. but the
consequent interruption of transportation is
becoming serious. The Michigan Central
has only moved 81 cars of freight since the
strike began, where its average has been l40
cars per day. Other roads have had about
the same experience. The railroad COM
panies are only trying to move perishable
freight. Not a carload of grain was moved
over the Eastern roads to-day. The engin-
GERS and firemen of all roads are threatening
to strike for an advance of % cents day.
One cause Of dissatisfaction is that since the
switchmen's strike their pay HIS been locked
during their compulsive idleness. Employees
of rolling mills threaten to strike tomorrow
for an advance of % cents a day.

Special to Boston Jour nal

sensational story has been circulated
here to-day, 10 the effect that Senator Dawes
as chairman of the caucus committee. had
received letter from President Garfield
relative to the difficulties between the re.
publican senators and the administration. in
which the President had declared that he
would heartily support the senators in apy
effort to secure a disruption of the Solid
South, and free ballet and a fair count
but that he could not support the DEAD lock
to secure the nomination of Mr.. Gorham
editor OF the Republican. who was constantly
assaillng the administration, and that AS to
Roberson, !. the Republican senators de-
cihed that all the nominations ought to be
Withdrawn. he would withdraw them. The
story had gained great many believers, par
tcuiariy III as much as it was reported thar
gentleman very near to the President had
seen the letter and was the authority for the
statement 1t can be stated on the hirhes,
possible authority that no such latter was
written and received by Mr.. dawes. Mr.
Dawes did nat receive brief note from Gen.
Garheid, written upon one sheet Of note ma
per, containing only few words, and none of
these words related to any of the coutroyerted
points. Mr.. Dawes has been beset NV inter.
views this evening. and to one and ali denies
emphatically that any such letter has ever
existed. The President had no need to wr;,e
letter upon that subject. as his views were
very clearly expressed to the committee when
it called upon him.
