dlers, among several groups who were lin
gerlng about the station, were also knocked
ever. The lightning stripped one of the
supporting pillars at the station of its bark
as clean as il plane had done it. Jackson
and Beck were walking down the rooted
arcade, and about fifty feet above the sta
ton, when both went down. They fell as
II struck by siedge hammer. They were
under an electric lamp at the time. In
Idlilng Jackson struck his forehead on the
edge OF the plank walk. The soldiers who
saw them tall sounded the alarm to the
camp, and enough men ran up the hill To
carry the injured officers TO the hotel.
pool OF blood was found under Jackson's
head when the soldiers lifted him. Dr..
douglas found both men unconscious and
paraly2ed by the shock, but careful atten-
tlon brought them around so that late II,
the evening Beck was able, with support
to reach his room upstairs. Jackson was
still dazed, but not unconscious. Douglas
thinks they will both be brought around 10
good condition within a few davS. The
woman at the laundry was stunned, but
not otherwise hurt
When the immediate excitement of these
occurrences had been relieved, anxiety
turned with fresh intensity to the cottage.
lt was clear that the lightning had travelled
along the line of the electric light wires.
These wires run into the cottage, and one
OF them feeds the lamp in the canopy di
rectly over the coffin. Others light the
porch. There was a scanper for the COT
tage. The outer guards were dumb. and
that heightened the fear that an accident
had happened, perhaps of the most dread
iul nature. The suspense happily did nos
last long, for in a few minutes Colone'
Grant and Jesse Grant left the cottage for
dinner. The clap Of thunder had excited
some fear among the ladies, but no damage
had been done by the lightning beyond
tearing a few shingles from the cottage
root. The shingles clattered into the nur-
seTy room upstairs, where there was also q
slight falling of plastering. The electric
Light over the coffin had been burning only
q few minutes when the stroke came. II

The lightning Stroke at Mt. McGregor
Thursday Evening.

by Telegrsphl
New YORK, July 3lst.-The Times sara
toga special has the following on the
lightning stroke at Mount McGregOr last
evening: There was a sudden clap of
thunder, as though q cloud had fallen on
the brow Of the hill, bursting with the
sound Of artillery. A hundred guns dis
charged ct once could not have made a
sound more terrible. This was at
o'clock. The echo of the explosion had
not passed away when there was hurry
ing of people from all directions. Fully
half the guests of the hotel were at dinner.
bali OF ire, dropping from one of the
electric globes, dashed against the wall and
exploded by the conclusion right over the
seats of the eaters. 1t left round black
space where it struck the wall. Three fire
balls nearly as large bounded from the
telegraph instruments in the hotel lobby.
and giancing across the top of the tele-
graph desk, shot out into the middle of the
room, falling over the floor ike the rafting
of musketry. 1t drove the guests out to
the porch, many of them badly frightened
There was 2 small panic among the ladies'
The atirighted gathering had hardly formed
on the porch when all eyes were directed
to two squads Of soldiers bearing to the
hotel the Unconscious bodies of General R.
ii. jackson, who arrived to-day to COM
mand the battalion that will be stationed
here, and Colonel W B. Beck. who came
yesterday from Governors Island with
Company A, Fifth Artillery. The face of
Beck was colorless, but that of Jackson was
Scared by an ugly wound in the forehead
Both men were taken to the room on the
ground floor and DR.. Douglas summoned.
Then came word of the accidents at the
railway station. The body of woman
was found there-Mrs. Fox of Philadel-
phla, who had come up from Saratoga to-
day with her husband, among the after
noon spectators. She lay limp and white
IN her husbands arms. Restoratives soon
brought her to partial consciousness. and
she was able to get back TO Saratoga by the
evening train. She had been standing
under one Of the electric lights at the sta.
ton: a dozen people were near by on the
platform, four of them were knocked down.

The Postmaster General and the Steam
ship Cornpanies

WASHINGTON, July 3lst.-Ihe American
steamship cOmpanies-The Pacific Mail.
San Francisco to Australia, the Red. New
Hork to Venezuela, the Clyde, New York
70 Turk s Island the New York, Havana
and Mexico, and the New York end Cuba
Lne-haYe declined to carry the United
States mails after to-day. Commenting
upon this action, Postmaster-GeneralV Villas
to-day said; Certain American steamship
lines, probably under the lead OF the Pacific
Man Steamship Company have entered
into combination, apparently with the
purpose OF forcing the distribution among
them OF the 100000 appropriated by Con
gtess fOr mileage compensation for carving
the mails. Some of them wrote to the
Postottice Department, desiring TO know
what terms would be given. proposed to
each OF the companies to go TO the full
limit the law would allow. and award them
both sea and inland postage This is about
three times what they had been receiving
during the past twelve years It Is three
times what is paid for carriage across the
Atlantic ANA probably IN most cases all
that should be paid for carrying the mails
Inc companies were still acting in concert.
and IN cJrSequ encc of their combination
refused to accept these terms, which were
50 LIBERAL compared with those they had
received, that they telt, suppose, that they
! C0NLu UIlNt JIe Government ont OF the
position it had taken by refusing to carry
! for the compensation offered. The com
| panies seemed to think that if they refused
to carry the mails, there would be no other
course left 10 the Government but to make
contracts with them and distribute the
| 100000 accordingly. 4 complete schedule
| for the transportation of mails viii be
arranged, and they Will 60 with very little
| difference, IN point Of time, to their desti-
nation. A statement has been made
/ in the newspapers TO the effect that
4 the United States Government is not as
! LIBERAL rs Great Britain in the conlpensa-
! ton of steamship lines. The fact IS the
rate which has been offered our lines very
| much exceeds the rate paid by Great Brit
! ain. The rate we offer is about 63 per
! cent. more than the British lines receive
! from their Government. 1t was q rate un-
! jusuiably large, more than ought to have
| been paid, but the Government deemed it
/ fair 10 90 TO the utmost length which the
/ law and reason allowed, in order to avoid
! any difference with the American steam
| ship companies until Congress should meet.
| The Department has made such arrange
/ lnents that the public will suffer no inCon-
! venienCe worthy of mention in respect to
! carrying the mails, and in some cases, not
| ably the Cuban service, the mails will be
! expedited.
! The superintendent of foreign mails said
! the American companies had refused an
! otter Of 81 GO per pound for carrying mails.
/ This is what is known as combined sea and
/ inland postage, and is equivalent TO s. 200
| per ton. They receive at present the inter
national rate, at "A cents per pound.

A Statement from Mr.. Sherman.

Some of the opposition papers have revived
the exploded Islander about Mr.. Thomas
Sherman published during the Presidential
campaign. The Washington Post of the 2Sth
inst has the following in relation to the mat
ter:
"Our invariable rule was to take no notice
of letters containing SANDER" said Mr..
Thomas II Sherman. who was Mr. James g.
Blane's private secretary during the last
campaign, TO a Post reporter yesterday.
They were not acknow lodged nor referred
to the committee. All statements to the con-
trary are untrue. They have been given
color by the fact that somebody in Buffalo
received from me formal Acknowledgement
Of paper hich made no mention whatever
of the democratic candidate, and afterward
published nv letter with the assertion that
his letter inclosed a lot of damaging stuff
against Gov. Cleveland. The statements
concerning myself may be answered by the
fact that did not draw penny OF salary
from the Government during the five months
ended on December 49, 1884 p"
