Strange Death BY Lightning

Mr.. Robert Claiborne is.a brother to
Mrs. T. P. Leathers, wife of the captain
of the Natchez. He is postmaster at
Point Coupee, besides having the agen-
cy of the Pool line and other boats at
that point. Last Tuesday evening, while
the steamboat Blanks Was lying at the
landing, Mr.. Claiborn started down the
levee toward where she was tied, fol-
lowed short distance behind by two
negro men, mounted on mules carrying
the mail bags. When nearly to the boat
he was seen to fall to the ground sudden
ly beneath a white blaze of light that
hoyered around him for an instant, and
the two negro men at the same time
were hurled off their mules to the ground.
Those on the boat who witne ssed the
phenomenon rushed ashore, and almost
at the same moment the two negro's re-
covered their feet and came up to where
Mr.. Claiborne had fallen. They found
him corpse, black as ink all over. An
examination of the body disclosed the
fact that the electric fluid had penetra-
ted the body in two currents, penetrating
his right AMI left breasts respectively,
0Au 4A1AlAS L"o dpCL GulCS Wu0IS G140y
entered, like bullets would have made.
The lightning traversed his body. A lot
of silver coins in one of the pockets of
his pantaloons was melted and fused to.
gether in an indistinguishable mass. The
two negroes felt the force Of the shock
sufficiently to be thrown from the mules
they were riding without being seriously
injured thereby. The sun was shining
in an unclouded sky at the time the
thunderbolt came down, A phenome-
mon similar 9 its fatality and s1sng
two men were killed under q tree nea,
Bay st. Louis, being struck dead by
lightning while the sun was shining. Sill
yer and gold coins in their pockets were
melted and blackened as in the case of
