electrical pheno omena. In the town ofFremont
Sullivan county. n heavy sho wer passed within

The sky above tho house and farm Was cloud
lsss. and the sun was shining brightly. Great
banks Of BLACK clouds swept along the storm
track. and suddenly. In the blackest part OF the
clouds. there was dazz ing fash OF light. and
n ball Of flre swept from the cloud In the direo-
ton Of tho farmhouse. It struck chimney
aud ground tho bricks into cloud OF dust.
From the chimney n portion Of ths nuid fol-
lowed stovepipe. splitting 1t into four equal
pieces and entered n stove to which tho pipe
was attached. Every door In the stove in
stantly few open. and the lids were lifted OF
and thrown in four different directions. No
damage was done to the stove.
The electric fluid PASSED from tho stovo ont
OF each Of the four legs. and then II distributed
itself all about the ROOM tearing the plaster
from the walls, splitting the wainscoting into
splnters. and breaking four chairs and a table
to pieces. A chair round was thrown on top ot
sinek that % stood % on s, shell In D. one ne cornsr OF
stnnt. and the pendulum was detached from
the rod and thrown clear across tho room. Tho
other nart OF the fluid ran along tho riEeroio
OF the house. tearing all the shingles and raft
ers away. and jumped from the end OF the
house to a summer house twenty feet distant.
After running com rletely arouni the caves OF
that building the fluid jumped back to the
house. and entered the kitchen. where II tore
tho knife out Of cal hage cutter. and split
the woodwork Of the cutter in four pieces. 1t
then left the Kitchen ut one corner. taking with
u In dipper. which WAS found with the ham
die driven In the ground IN to the bow! n few
feet from the house. y here were several people
In a sitting room Of the honse. but mono OF
