New York TribuneI
ON Thursday night, while heavy thun-
dcr-cloud was passing over Newark, there
was an extraordinary play OF lightning
from the cloud. The block bounded by
Esther and Lockwood streets and Albert
avenue appeared TO be encircled by chain
Of fire. Six boys who were in vacant
LOT were all Frustrated, and one Of them
Edward j. Dcmpsey-was killed. His
clothing was stripped from his body, and
his shoes were torn into fragments. The
body OF the boy was blackened and
scorched As il by flame. A brother OF
Dempsey had his head severely injured.
Patrick Kane was knocked senseless. John
DIVER and Patrick Fay were also injured.
.Jobn Mcclure, married man, who lives
at No. o Esther street, says that he was at
a window on the second floor OF his house,
and while i'm the act OF driving nail into
the outside OF the window-frame the ham,
mer was struck by the lightning, and was
sent spinning over table that stood near the
window. The lightning also ignited the
tobacco in his pipe, which was in his
month. and knocked the pipe out OF his
oorth and on to the table. He was rendered
sneechless for some time, bis tongue ap-
nearing to be paralyzed. The plastering
was torn from the chimney in the room.
Mrs. James Leonard, OF No. 0 Esther
street afdrms that when the shock came
she wos thrown TO the floor, and was I'M
con for several moments. She felt

his hands by the lightning. Mrs. Bergen,
Of No. 25l Market street. was in the yard
- her house. She saw the lightning
bi,zine all around Der, and it seemed TO
nress her down to the ground. Near the
snot where the boy Dempsey was killed
the electric fluid lifted one corner Of the
rno Of an out-buiIding and shivered the
ho,rds into splinters. Mrs. Frecley, who
i;yes in the house, said that she was in the
Kitchen at the time. and that she felt some
thing pass through her hand and up her

ICleyeland Hcrald.I
It's great business is the manufacture
OF cigars" the cigar-dealcr went on.
You'll make your hit sooner or later, and
after that the rest is easy. Probably eight
men out OF ten smoke, and six out OF this
eight are ~ unable to select good cigar as
a monkey is TO refuse chestnut. A vast
proportion OF smokers buy cheap cigars.
Many do so from necessity, though not Il
few prefer the rank flavor and the taste OF
the composite that is sold for a nickel TO the
choicest imported. / know of a number
OF wealthy men i'm town who habitual-
" smoke 'iive-ccnters.' The stronger
and ranker they are the more they
are to their liking, apparently. have seen
men who are scrupulously careful about
what they eat and drink, requiring the best
OF cooking and choicest liquors, putting
away at vile rolls OF a little tobacco, and
much that is miscellaneous, with positive
enjoyment. They want TO taste the smoke,
they say. and they do. There is a high
salared army officer at the Palmer House,
two Judges, the owner OF great corpora
ton on the West Side, large wholesale
merchant, retired real estate millionaire,
who constitute fair examples OF class who
turn from the delicate cigars OF Cuba TO the
black, sticky articles made in reeking
lOdging-honSeS in the purlieus OF the city.
It's peculiar and IN anomalous trait in
the character of men refined in other re-
spccts."
"What are cheap cigars made OFF,"
"Ask what does not enter into their
composition. and can name few articles
that are too bulky. But perhaps | would

Are stubs cOllected?"
"Of course they are. It's no tradition.
It's IN open practice in the East, and II
YOU watch the streets closely you will see
small boys gather up the iling-away cigars
from the gutter. Competition is too strong.
IL forces adulteration into the trade. You
may put il down rs a fact that the nickel
cigar, which is wholesaled for about one
fifth of that price, is fraud. Often the
cover is nothing more than paper. Seldom
is it better than cheap Connecticut or Wis
consin waste leaves. And the tlling-go
into the shops and see the rubbish and
dirt That are piled in heaps, mixed with
waste cuttings OF weak leaves, the frag-
ments and odds and ends collected
from every source, including the gut

cylinders. and these pat on the market, and
you'll wonder rs do that there are many
human constitutions strong enough to
stand them."
