STRUCK BY lightning.

Baltimore special: Lightning played q
dangerous part in the opening exercises yes
terday at Wyman's Grove colored camp
meetiog, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
fifteen miles from the city. Over 1000 colored
people were present, most OF them from
Blliimore and Washington. A heavy thun-
der-storm came up 10 the afternoon, just al
the beginning of the second service In the
tabernacle The Rev. ]. B. Schreeves, Of
Cumberland, was preaching, bu. the noise
made BY the rain was 30 great that he was
obliged to stop. A prayer and praise
meeting was lbed started. The wind blew a
perfect gale, and furiorsly swept the tor
rents OF rain through the open sid's OF the
tabernacle, while the sharp peals OF
thunder ratified and echoed through
the woodr, ard the brilliant flashes
of lightning kept up. The congregs-
ton continued singiog halleluiah hymns
and old camp-meetipg melodies, though the
sound OF their voices was requently drowned
in the fury of she storm. Finally, sharp
blue fame, accompanied by binding lieh',
shot through the grow, and deafenlng
crssh shook the earth. Hundreds OF the
wsrshipers fell to their knees, Frustrated by
the shock. Many tainted and lay PROSTATE
for some moments upon The floor OF
the tabernacle. Screams of women were
heard from one of the cottages.
There John Schreeves, son of the
preacher, wss found lying unconscious and
il wss over sn hour before he recovered.
Fred Bowser had one OF hi- shoes torn from
his foot By the electric current, and cut into
shreds, as if by knife. His foot was unser-
viceable Tor some time, bat he afierward re-
covered Its ne. Slight dam age wss done to
pumber OF the cottages, and it seens az II

over the whole ground. When the storm
was over, the campers held another prsise
and prayer-mee'ipg, and gave thanks to God
tnst no one had been killed by the bolt.

fed the Western Union formally that they

dinaies-The Hill Investigation
Capital Points.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Bef9re the Hill
Investigating Committee today, Coleman
read an affidavit which recited that A. B.
King, Milo Waibridge and John Woodmap,
all OF Chicago, were important and material
Witnesses TO the fact that The heating apps-
rstus of the Chicago posiofi ce furnished By
Bartlett, Robbin & Co., wss poor quality
and improperly constructed 1t was stated
that those witnesses could rot be brought to
Washington. because there Was no authority
given the cominitsee 10 subpoena them, and
the committee was rtauesred 10 adiourn 10
Chicago TO take their testimony.
Coieman then proposed TO show tbs all
contracts for slate roof had been accompanied
by specifications requiring The Efar---+e- be
fastened by the Farquhar patent process; III at
the patent was not the best, ss Hill well
knew, and lower bids proposing the use of
the Poar fastening had been received. Thus
it happened, said Coleman, that Farquhar
bad monopoly OF the business Of putting on
slate roofs, for no person could use his pa.ent
without paying royalty TO him.
Coleman then read some contrs acts dated in
1880, requiring the states 10 be fastened with
the Farquhar fastener, and called attention
TO the fact that the specifications gave the
address of the patentee.
Totten said the Fsrquhar fastener was the
only one known to the department prior 10
anuary 81, 1881, and the contracts made
after that date allowed the use of other
patents, provided they be equal to the Far
quhar.
Edward Wallace, slater, testified that other
patents were better than Farquhsr's where
repairs were necessary.
Steinmez testified that he had inspected
the Farquhar patent fastener upon the Bos-
ton postofics building by direction of Null
lett in 1873. As result he had refused
to use the Fnquhsr patent in report
made to- Mullett. He kuew OF no building
where the Jones patent was in use. He re-
gsrded the Cooper wire as better than any
patent.
The delay in producing Steinueiz's reports
caused Coleman to charge that all papers
called for by the prosecution are subjected to
,he scrutiny o. the defense. He declared
that the Secretary of the Treasury had shown
lack ot earoestness in not suspendiug Ail
from he office during the investigation.
Hall testified that he had never had a
superintendent for the construction of slate
roof. He had spoken to Col. Cessy about
the roof for the State Department, but could
not remember whether ne recommended the
use of the EaIunn3r fssienino Adjourned
