a House in the Southern Part Of the
CITY struck and Two of the Inmates
Prostrated-How the FftfuI Fluid Be
hayed.
During the thunder storm which visited
the CITY about l O'Clock yesterday after
noon Mrs. Fannie B. Strate, widow Of
the late j. r. strate, and her mother,
Mrs. Fisher, were Frustrated by lightning
at their residence, corner Of Burroughs
and Waldburg streets. The report OF
the electric discharge attracted the
attention Of nearly every one IN the
city. and the fash was remarked as being
exceedingly vivid even by those VINO were
a mile from the locality where II struck.
Mrs. Strafe's residence IS tW0-stOTy
wooden structure. fronting on Burroughs
street. She was in the kitchen on
the first floor. while her mother
was in the room above. Leading
from the front door Of the house is hall
way terminating at a door which opens
into a covered way or shed at the rear.
A window opens out OF the kitchen on TO
this she'd. When the lightning struck the
house it is believed by some that
the current first struck the
shed. where a supporting corner
post was torn away, and thence entered
the kitchen through the open window,
where it Frustrated Mrs. Strate, her entire
left side being terribly buried from the
shoulder to the sole of her foot. At
the same instant Mrs. Fisher was knocked
down. but not injured, in her room on the
second floor. A large goblet that was
resting on the mantel in the room was
broken into the minutest particles, While
some other small articles in the room andi
the kitchen below were displaced. but not
broken. The electric fluid then lifted
number OF shingles from the roof of the
house. near the chimney. These shingles
have the appearance of having been forced
outward and upward. A number
Of residents living within $50 yards OF the
house were severely shocked, and lady
living on New Houston street, near Bur-
roughs, had kitchen utensil thrown Vio-
lently from her hand across the room. As
soon as the effect of the shock had passed
Mrs. Straits son, who escaped injury,
discovered his mother in an lnsensible
condition on the floor in her house, and
ran for assistance to DR.. Keiffer, corner
of West Broad and Waldburg streets, and
to DR.. B. H. Smith, corner Of Anderson
and Barnard streets. Before the arrival
of the latter Mrs. Fisher had re-
covered from the effect of the shock
and assisted to revive her PROSTATE
daughter. DIR. Smith gave the necessary
medical attention, but found that one
halt of Mrs. Strate's body was wholly
paralyzed, and that the flesh had GRIM
soned or fiery appearance, and the I'M
fortunate lady was IN great pain, espe-
cially when the portion Of her body
scOrched by the lightning was touched.
At a late hour last night she was easier
Her injury. though serious, is not con-
sidered dangerous.

TEMPERANCE AT LIBRARY HALL.
Entertainment by the Catholic Temper
ance Societies.

Entertainment by the Catholic Temper
ance Societies.
Catholic Library Hall was filed
with a large audience last night upon the
occasion of the temperance celebration,
which took place under the auspices Of
the St. John the Baptist Total Abstinence
Benevolent Society, the st. John the Bap-
list Cadets, and the st. Mary's Ladies'
Total Abstinence Society.
The entertainment was through
out an enjoyable one. The intro
ductiOn was vocal duet, entitled The
Beautiful Dreamer" by Messrs. L. III.
Thompson and f. CercOpely, followed by
the opening address, by Rev. rather
Prendergast. Father Prendergast is an
earnest advocate of temperance, and his
address was an eloquent appeal in behalf
of the great cause.
The address was followed by piano
solo by Miss May Walsh.
Mr. \. +. Thompson was introduced by
n. c. Collier, Esq, who presided during
the evening, as a staunch, repre-
sentative temperance worker. Mr..
Thompson spoke eloquently In be-
half of the cause and appealed to
all who had ever touched the fatal poison
to quit its use and begin life of absti-
nence. He pleaded with the fathers to
keep It from their sons, and the mothers
to teach them in their childhood to abhOr
it as they would a serpent. he i'm
plOred the young ladies not to
place the social glass in the way
of their brothers and young gentlemen
friends, but to lead them to respect tenn
perance as a virtue next to goodness.
The address was listened to with the
closest attention, and the speaker was
greeted with frequent applause. Mr..
Thomson is an earnest and devoted adj
YOcate of temperance, and his efforts In
behalf of the cause, have accomplished
a great deal in promoting the welfare Of
the people among whom he has labOred.
At the conclusion of his remarks Miss
Lizzie MahOney Tecited 1.-The Cup
Bearer,o after which Messrs. Thompson
and CircOpely appeared in guitar duet,
receiving an encore, to which they respond
ed, and were again applauded. Miss
Annie McEVOy recited in costume the
poem entitled 1.-THE Drunkard's Wife,
Mr.. Collier delivered the closing adj
dress, in which he charged the origin of
the great evil of intemperance to the
social glass. 1t was in the parlor, at the
home and at the social gathering that
he believed the downward road was
begun by nine-tenths and ninety
nine one-hundredths of the young
men who fall victims to the ter
rible curse. So long as there was de-
mand for intoxicating liquor it would be
supplied. and the only way to etface the
evil, he believed, was to remove the de-
mand. The entertainment was closed
with a song by Misses Thompson and
CercOpely.

Whv Does Our Business Crow

Because we make honest clothes and
put as much style on the garments as the
merchant tailors do, and retail them at
wholesale prices. Furthermore, if Gus
toner or his wife, sister or mother-in-law
don't like the clothes he bought of us he
can bring them right back and exchange,
or get his money back again, and nobody
complains. If the clothes are right the
men and boys who wear the garments
will be apt to give us enough business to
keep us growing. Won't they? Wehave
the best retail stock of Mems, Youths
and Boys Clothing in Savannah, which
we offer at prices that defy competition,
We do no catchpenny business, and never
advertise impossibilities. To the majority
of clothing buyers printed stuff appears
the same as a good all wool cashmere,
not being judge of the article. The SD
NOUS tells the truth and nothing but the
truth, and that's the place for you to buy
clothing. The "FdmOuS" you will find at
140 Congress street.-AdU.

STRANGE! But True.

public than they do, but when once seen
into the matter it is not very hard to dis
solve. We purchase direct from the man.

for best retail trade. We can sell cheaper
because we sell more than others, and are
satisfied with very small profits. Those
who need such as Clothing, Hats or Fur
