Thursday afternoon, about $50 o'clock, dur
ing the heavy shower, there was sharp flash
of lightning followed by an almost instantane-
GUS clap of thunder.
1t seems that what appeared like ball Of
fire as big as mans fist, entered Sawyer &
Fernald's stable, in the rear of Congress street,
at the door looking out on Deerpg street. 1t
passed through the stable and out of the front
door. almost grazing the cheek of Mr.. Joseph
e. Gilman, of the Merchants National Bank,
who was watching hostler harness his horse.
After leaving the stable it continued up the
lane to Congress street and entered the rear
door of Mr.. Kane, the florist conservatory. Mr.
Kane was in the office, standing on one side OF
the front door with another gentleman, while
Mrs. Charles B. Strout was sitting opposite.
Tho ball passed out the front door SO near Mrs
Strout that the concussion gave her a tremen
dous headache. What became of it is un-
known.
It will be remembered that several summers
ago an almost parallel case occurred a ball of
firs passing through the Falmoath Hotel and
out at the door, seen by many people. In this
case the different people who saw the thunder
bolt heard the crash of the thunder at the same

at the 10 a. m. meeting. One verse of Corona

Mrs. Bent of Portland, leading with the organ
and cornet. Mrs. Stevens read portion OF
scripture Prayer was offered by Miss McIn-
tyre, of New Hampshire. Mr.. Carter and Mrs.
Bent played "Hail to the Chief" after which
Mrs. Stevens introduced Hon. Neal Dow, who
delivered the address of welcome. He said
The task has been assigned to me to welcome
to Old Orchard the National Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union. 1t is task which
gives me great pleasure. I have long felt that
without the help of women we cannot conquer
in this fight. At first, I confess had little
sympathy, thinking the work was simply an
impusive movement that would soon die out,
but was mistaken. The Union is making a
profound impression, and its good results are
everywhere felt"
The need of decisive stand by the church
on this question was strongly urged. Just and
equal rights was advocated at some length. In
closing Gen. Dow said:
so ladies of the National Womens Chris
tian Temperance Union, welcome you to
Maine aud to Old Orchard, and congratulate
the people upon having present ladies who
have done so much toward Fastening the down
fall of the infinite mischiefs caused by the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
Mrs Caroline B. Buell., Corresponding Sec
retary, gracefully responded to the welcome,
and spoke of the work during the last forty
years. The two forces contending for and
against this great reform before the law makers
and the nation we're happily compared to Mi
nerva and Neptune contending for the wor-
ship of the Athenians before the councils of
