ABLAzE WITH LIGHTNING.
A Remarkable Spectacle Witnessed by
Two Fishermen During a Mountain
Storm.

Remarkable Spectacle witnessed by
Two Fishermen During a Mountain
Storm.
POCoNO, PA, June 18.-Andrew Cobb
and Lewis Cobb, of Oakland, went TO
Knob Pond, in Pike county, on Mon
day, to fish and remain over night.
They went out on the pond in the
evening to '.iack' for deer. While they
were on the opposite side of the water
from their cabin a heavy thunder shower
came up and they started to row back.
The rain fell in sheets, and the
thunder and lightning were terrific. Be
fore they had rowed half way across
the pond lightning struck In seven differ
ent places around it, and seven trees were
in a blaze. The play of the electricity
was so continuous that the pond was
wrapped in almost a steady blaze of light,
so steady, in fact, that the light from the
rejecting lamp in the bow of
the boat could have been dis
pensed with. Soon after the last
stroke Of lightning on the shore there came
a clap of thunder that seemed to be direct
ly over Their heads, and almost simulta-
neously with the report ball of fire shot
down into the lake, quarter Of a mile
away. Inc report was iOilOWeu IN quick
succession by two others equally terrific,
and each was accompanied by a stimuli
taneous flash Of hight and the dropping
into the lake of balls of fire like the first.
The men were filled with terror at the
scene, and bent all their energies to reach
the shore and seek shelter in their cabin
The play Of lightning continued, and
when the fishermen had approached
within a hundred yards of their cabin,
which was near the shore. there came
another terrible thunder clap and flash
Of lightning that blinded them. When
they recovered from the dazed condition
In which il left them they saw that the
bolt had decended on their cabin, which
was in flames. The men then
ilOated about on the lake for the twenty
minutes the irightful storm lasted
momentarily expecting an electric shaft
to fall upon them. Three more trees were
shattered by lightning in the vicinity of
the pond before the storm passed over.
The Cobbs are old wOodsmen. and have
been spectators Of many violent mountain
storms, but declare that never anything
visited this region to compare with that
Of Monday night.

How COvington Man Lost a Dead Sure
Hold on Good Thing by Talking.


WASHINGTON. June 19.-It is some
times very disastrous for applicants for
Office TO go of halEcocked, as 1t
were. and commence to abuse their
influential friends for seeming neg
lect or half-hearted support in their be-
half. A case of that kind occurred to-day
In the appointment of the Supervising In
spectOr for the Cincinnati district. Mr..
James Burke, OF COyington, by, was
strongly Endorsed for the position by
many prominent and influential gentle
men, including Hon. Samuel j. Randall
and Speaker Carlisle. A few weeks since,
Washington. Mr.. Burke gave
him letter from Judge Holman
70 Secretary Manning introducing
and indorsing Burke for the place. Mr..
Burke requested Mr.. Carlisle TO deliver
this letter 10 Mr.. Manning. At the time
Mr.. Carlisle told Burke that be had better
present the letter himself, but the latter
thought not.
1t seems that Mr.. Carlisle was so oc-
cupied with other matters during his
brief stay in Washington that he forgot
all about Burke's letter and carried
II back TO Kentucky with him.
Burke found out that Mr.. Carlisle had
not filed his letter, and he wrote to the
latter, who was then in Louisville, re-
questing MIN TO send the letter TO the
Treasury Immediately. This Mr.. Carlisle
promptly did, also sending another letter
that he thought would aid Burke in his
aspirations.
In the meantime. however, Burke i'm
agined that Mr. Carlisle was playing him
false. and charged him with attempting TO
hide his Endorsements. Mr.. Carlisle heard
Of Burke's charges, ana be Immediately
wrote to the Secretary ofthe Treasury stat
ing the case and Withdrawing his indOrse-
ment Of Burke. He also wrote 10 Burke
notifying him of what he had done, and
stating that his conduct was inexcusable.
Up to this time it was conceded by every
one here who had any inside information
upon the subject that Mr.. Burke
would be appointed. Mr.. Higgins was
sure OF it. The letter Of Mr. Carlisle bad
most disastrous effect upon Mr.. Burke's
chances. From the hour of its reception
he never had the slightest chance for the
appointment, though be was regarded as
splendid man for the place, and
was certainly handsomely Endorsed; still
the disappointing power concluded that
be had unnecessarily gone out Of the way
to impugn the third ranking officer Of the
government, and that he should suffer for
the lndiscretiOn.
