The heavens were brilliantly Illuminated
last night by the aurora borealis, or Northern
lights. The phenomenon was first seen about
an hour and half after sundown, and tn IN
the heavy masses of clouds piled against the
northern horizon were suddenly swept away,
giving place to countless avenues of varied
colored light of most dazzling brilliancy. The
display lasted until an early hour this morning,
the lights meanwhile having shifted from their
original position to point in the center of the
heavens. The phenomenon was admired
by all who witnessed its manifestations
and these, in the general opinion, exceeded
in duration and brilliancy the well-remcm-
bered aurora borealis of 1878.
While thousands were lost in their admira-
ton of this fascinating scene the atmospheric
conditions were the occasion of considerable
trouble and no little danger. The electric
storm last night was the most severe ever
known in the history of the country. 1t prac-
tically rendered useless all telegraph wires
from New York to Ogden. Tho air was sur
charged with electricity to terrible extent
which was shown in the brilliancy of the dis
play of the aurora borealis previously men
toned. From ten o'clock very little of the
ordinarily large amount of matter, either news
or messages, could be sent over the lines, and
such as it was deemed absolutely necessary TO
send was done with the greatest dangerto the
operators in charge of the transmitters- A wire
was worked between Chicago and st. Paul
without any battery, the wire being grounded
at both ends.
The oldest telegraph operator failed to re-
call any similar instance of the wonderful
power Of the electricity in the air. Attsmpts
were made to carry on some experiments in
the Offices of the Western Union Telegraph
Company during this cond tion of affairs, on
wires used without batteries, and the opcra-
tors repeatedly suffered from burnt fingers.
Such was the force of the element that sew
eral wires were burned Off entirely, and the
"switch board" upon which connections are
made, caught fire on several oec tsions.
The night manager of the Western Union
Telegraph office was seen and questioned
on the subject. He said such storms
are experienced five or six times
a year, and there is little dissimlarity
between them except in point of intensity.
The storm last night, which was unusually
severe, was first noticed as affecting the tele-
graph service in this city about ton O clock,
By two O'Clock this morning it had lost mulch
of its intensity. a s is always the case in
electrical storms, the chief and steady currents
arc in the direction of north and south. On
account of this fact the north and south wires
can be used during a storm without batteries,
the earth serving instead. The east and west
wires are often rendered we-nigh useless.
Fitful gusts in the electrical current at times
the wires. The observations of the storm last
night were carefully made, and the data VIII
be submitted to skilled electricians, whose
conclusions thcrefrom may be of great SCION
tiiic value.-Chicdgo Herald, Alwt IL.

dren were injured. several other fam
lilies were left without shelter and many
persons were more or less hurt Trees, tele-
graph poles, and fences were blown down
in all directions. The roof OF one house was
carried a quarter OF mile.
Hermann Monk, wealthy German
tanner, OF Louisville, Ky, took fatal dose
OF laudanum on the 18th. He was G2 years
old. 1t is thought that he was slightly de-
ranged, caused by business troubles.
AN express messenger named Wood
bury was fatally wounded and several pas
sengeTs were badly injured by coIlidmg
trains at Castle Hin, Mass, April -.
III. S. MILLER, brakeman, was run
down and killed by an engine at Fort
Wayne, Ind, on the 18th. His body was
horribly manglcd. He was thirty-ive years
OF age, unmarried, and had been on the road
many years.
AT Des Moines, Iowa, on the 10Th
Clay c. Cook, young man employed as
car-seaier in the Chicago & Rock Island
yards, was struck by train and dragged
some distance, when he fell across the track
and eight cars passed over him. His head
was eat Off and his body severed below the
shoulders. A letter was found in his pocket
post-marked Marengo, Iowa, and another
from brother, j. W. Cook, 1907 Pine
street, St. Louis.
IN West Somerville, near Boston,
Mass, April 30, Mrs. Mary Russell, aged 70
years, was killed by her son-in-law, Edward
r. Prescott, aged GO. The murderer was
secured and taken o Jail. The tragedy ere
ated intense excitement, the parties to it
moving in the highest social circles. When
arrested Prescott made no resistance, and
seemed rather to gloat over his crime, re-
marking that he was rid OF his mOtheT-in-
law forever, whose constant interference in
his family affairs and her offensive treatment
OF him had reduced him to a state Of mean-
choly bordering on madness. The prison
er's version Of the tragedy is as follows:
While his wife was on n visit 10 Boston, Mrs.
Russell aggravated him by some sarcastic
remarks, and he pushed her down some
steps leading to the kitchen. In struggle
that cnsued She got him under and aimed
several blows at him with piece Of crock
eryware in her hand This infurated him,
and throwing the old lady off he reached for
a brick, and holding her down by his weight
battered her face until she lost conscious
ness. Then, not wanting her to suffer any
pain, he got a coal shovel and pounded the
skull, after which, to be sure she was dead,
he slashcd her throat several times with a
knife.
