A LIGHTNING BOLT.
Several Persons Rendered Senseless
at SaratOga---The Cottage on the
Mount Struck.

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 31.-At seven
o'clock last evening, while the majority
Of the hotel guests were at dinner, ter
rife peal of lightning came, accompanied
by an explosion like that Of bomb in the
dining room itself. Lightning had struck
the electric light wires, which conducted
ii to one Of the arches over the dining
room, where it exploded with terrific
force, but destroying no property beyond
Dlackenlng the walls in the immediate
vicinity. The same fash travelled down
the wires which run through the long rus
tic arcade TO the railway station. Gen.
R. H. jackson, from Governors Island,
who is in command of the battalion reg
ulars here, and Col. W. Butler Beck,
commanding battery A Of the artillery,
were walking slowly side BY side up the
arcade, and were about a quarter Of the
way up and Immediately under one Of the
electric light bulbs when the flash
came Gen. Jackson was knocked sense
less. and fell heavily upon the board
walk, cutting his head severely. Col.
Beck was also stunned, but soon recov-
cred enough to raise himself upon his el-
bows. where he was found groanlng
heavily by the dozen or more who ran to
the rescue. Gen. jackson lay as if stone
dead, with eyes starting from his head.
The same fash followed the wire down to
the little railway station, in which four>
teen or fifteen people were either stand
ing or sitting. The thunderbolt exploded
among them with terrible noise. Mrs.
Fox, wife of lawyer from Philadelphia,
was standing Immediately under one Of
the electric burners. She received heavy
shock, and sank sense!ess to the ground,
lying as if dead, Although the electric
wires run to the cottage. the thunderbolt
did not 90 over them, which is the more
fortunate, for the reason that an electric
burner is Immediately over the casket in
the parlor. On one of the posts of the
rustic railway station the bark was
stripped clean from top to bottom for a
width of from three to four inches. The
lightning struck the cottage, conducted
there by the electric wires, and knocked q
number of shingles off the roof, thence
entered The nursery and ripped large
piece of pastering off the ceiling, but did
no damage to anyone. The carbon in the
electric light over the cssket was con
sumed and the light put out. The fami>
" was for time much alarmed until they
found out that the damage was so tri-
fling.

Alfred Decordova, commodore Of the
American yacht club, has sent a communica-
tion to Gen. Hancock suggesting the appro-
priateness of a naval parade, and offering
the service of the squadron under his COM
mand for the occasion. Gen Hancock re-
piled:
Your sugge ,tions are interesting and
have precedent in the transportation Of
Gen Montg gomery's remains when removed
from Quebec, via the Hudson half cen
tury ago. Time is passing rapidly, and not
sufficient remains to change the order of
the programme already definitely concluded.
The railroad route has been selected and the
train is being draped, and it is now too late to
change the programme, which might have
been done had the proposition been made
earlier. | would venture to suggest that
the American yacht club which you repre-.
sent might make a very effective addition
by being present on the Sth inst on the
river near the line of the procession, where
the Hudson is first approached by the line
of march, and following it thence to the
place of interment.
While large force of men were at work
on the foundation for the temporary vault
for Gen. Grants body, at Riverside park,
Wednesday, violent storm came up The
workmen had hardly secured shelter in the
eighboring house, when terrific stroke of
lightning descended close to the spot where
they had been working 1t struck one of

A Grand Success.

The week of light opera by STAIRS
Harris Opera Company was phenome
pal success, and clearly demonstrates
that good performances at popular prices
are appreciated by the people OF TINS
city. All the operas presented by TINS
company were first class in every re-
spect, and greatly enjoyed by those who
witnessed them. The closing perform
ance on Saturday night was attended
by about 2 200 persons, nearly 800 more
than the house will seat, and in add.
tion to this, there were hundreds turned
away who could not get in at all. The
average attendance for each OF the eight
performances was nearly 1000, and the
gross receipts for the week about SZ,ooo,
which is certainly an excellent showing,
considering the depression OF business
that now prevails.
The company left this city yesterday
afternoon on the 5.22 train, en- route
for Waterbury, Conn. where tney WI!
appear this week. Next week they
will be in New Haven, and WILL g

That Fishing Excursion.

About 30 disciples of Isaac Walton
took passage on the Susie A. Mccall a.
6 O'Clock this morning. Some of the
disciples looked cadaverous and hun.
cry from long fasting in anticipation OF
the feast of Il sh that was in. store for
them. Report says that scarcely had
the boat reached the mouth OF the
creek before a Morning News fisherman
was discovered eating the bait belong
ing to the representative of the REPuB-
LICAS, while the latter was slowly, but
surely making satisfactory advance
INTO the Morning News dinner basket,
his Long nose being admirably adapted
to catching the scent of soft shell crab
in the distance. Here was pretty
kettle of fish already, and a general
mutiny WAS imminent.
In the confusion Morning New
man is said to have got hooked through
the nose, and the Republican man
through the seat of his unmentionables
while the Every Evening men crowded
| into the ladies' saloon, TO save their re
spectability. Doctors Snitcher and
Frautz, threw aside all the forlnalitie,
| of AIlopathism and Homeopathism
and uaeeting upon the plane of common
humanity, extracted the hook from tn,
suffering journalists nose, while Ton
Culbert, who il salways supplied with
need le and thread got the man with th,
torn breeches into corner and doctore6
up the rent.
Here was a gross violation of thu
rules, but II was agreed that, as 80 man
were engaged in the melee, to issue
general pardon to all concerned, but Il
| confine the next man caught eating
| bait down in the coal hole, and any
body caught smelling around another
| lunch basket was to be- tied to pos
and doused with cold water. When tn
Excursion passed FortDelaware, million
of trout, salmon, shad, herring, ,nullets
sturgeon and porpoises, were breaking
their necks over each other to get out 0
the bay before the formidable squadron
Iovertook them.
A few king crabs and stink.pots re
mained behind aud we're in danger o
being caught. After passing the for
the fleet disappeared from sight, bu
about ~ O'CLOCK it is said a tremendou
school of fish passed out at the break
water to the ocean beyond before the
stopped to take breath in their fligh
from the curious excursion comm
down the bay bearing death and de-
structiou in its course. The balance {
the excursion will be reported to.mol

GOOD Nights Work

The police made Is arrests last Sat
urday night. the majority OF whom
were for drunkenness After the cells
had been filled, the inmates had a
regular circus, as some were singing as
loud a they could, while others were
cursing them for not keeping quiet and
letting them sleep. The insane colored
woman, in cell No. 3, added TO the
general uproar, and as It was an utter
impossibility to keep them quiet, the
officers 10 charge let them go ahead
until they tired themselves ont. The
noise was continued uutil nearly o.
clock yesterday morning, when one by
one they sank into that drunken sleeI
which causes the victims TO awake
with a swollen head in the morning.

What Might Have Been Expected.

Tie DsIawarean says tbat IL is
creditably informed that one of the
mail messengers on the railroad be.
tween Philadelphia and Crisfeld went
down the road one day last week SC
drunk that he lost mail bag belonging
to Houston, Delaware, and further says
that it is a shame and disgrace to the
present administrati1 that such
men are retained in government posi-
tious.'
This must have been one of Presi
dent Cleveland's new appointees, and
we agree with the Dalawarean that the
rascal should be turned out.
