Ablaze With lightning.

Andrew and Lewis Cobb Of Oakland
went to Knob Pond, in Pike County.
Monday. to fish and remain over night.
They went out on the pond in the eve

We're on the opposite side of the water
from their cabin heavy thunder
shower came up and they started to
row back. The rain fell in sheets, and
the thunder and lightning were terrific.
Before they had rowed half way across
the pond lightning struck in seven diff
fcrcnt places around it. and seven trees
were in blaze. The play of the cleo
trlclty was so continuous that the pond
was wrapped in almost a steady blaze
q. 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 di-
rectly over their heads, and almost sim
ultaneously with the report ball of
lire shot down into the lake quarter of
a mile away. The report was follows,
IN quick succession by two others equal
ly terrific, and each was accompanied
by simultaneous flash Of light and the
dropping into the lake Of balls of tire

scene, and bent all their energies to
reach the shore and seek shelter in their
cabin. The play Of lightning con

preached within a hundred wards of
their cabin, which was near the shore.
there came another terrible thunder
clap and flash Of lightning that blind
ed them. When they recovered from
the dazed condition in which it left
them they saw that the bolt had de.
scended on their cabin, which was in
flames. The men then iloated about on
the lake for the twenty minutes the
frightful storm lasted, mUmentarily ex-
pecting 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.

for assisting to snatch a cigar box containing
something over 50, from huxter on High
street yesterday morning. Yesterday even
ing about 6;3O Officers Nicklas and Mast
found him on the corner OF Center and Main

German Military Punishmrnts.

| In room arrest the offender il con-
hned to his own quarters. lie is not
allowed to leave them without pcrmis-
sion, nor to receive visitors. When ar
rest is enforced against Captains or
subaltcrns. particular room may be
set apart for that purpose. but in this
event it is called severe room arrest,
and is a judicial. not disciplinary,
| punishment. During room arrest, as
during alj similar restrictions on liberty,
the offending officer can neither carry
| arms nor wear any decorations which
he may possess. When, however, he
has obtained permission to leave his
room he is allowed to carry his sword.
When an officer is sentenced to room
arrest his sword is received by another
and delivered over to the Governor or
commandant of the fort. In simple
room arrest, however, a superior olli-
Ger exercising the least disciplinary
power receives and retains his arms.
This duty usually falls to the Adjutant.
but if he be not present the arms may
remain in the house or apartments of
the offender. In simple room arrest
the officer is again confined To his own
residence, and is not allowed TO receive
visitors. If, however. he occupy "A
house in common with other people he
may mix with them as usual. a mar
ried man, therefore, is not separated
from his family, while the visits of his
doctor are always allowed. Any doubt
ful points are decided by superior oili-
Ger, who III urgent cases may permit
access to a lew persons. Opcn-air en-
ercise is usually allowed after the first
Ii days confinement, but if his doctor
declare such exercise to be essential to
health before that time the arrested
officer is permitted to leave his house
for all hour dali under the supervision
OF an equal or superior in rank. The
attention of every officer sentenced to
simple room arrest is directed by su-
perior to the regulation in the Wiiitar-
StrdygeSetsbuch. which says: "Any oli-
Ger who during room arrest shall leave
his quarters on his own responsibility
will be punished with six months i'm
prisonment and dismissed from service.
Any officer who during room arrest
shall receive visit on his own respon-
sibility will be punished with six months
Imprisonment and in serious cases with
dismissal from service These laws
are founded on the idea that we should
bc able TO rely on the officer implicitly
to obey regulations for the maintenance
Of disciplince. If he do not he betrays
a sacred trust and sets an example 10
interiors in rank which must have the
worst possible effects. -- hc Ar'mg a,uL

Conductor Geo. W. Cogs well, of the Pan
Handle, has been on the road for many years,
and is widely known as careful official in
his department, and anything contrary to
this wel-established record should be received
with cautious inquiry before believing it. On
June 30, church sunday school excursion
from this city went out on Mr.. Cosswelrs
train to Yellow Springs, and after returning,
somebody, whose name was considered suffi-
cient wrote complaint to this paper, which
was inserted. We have heard Mr.. Copswelrs
side of the question and are satisfied tina,
neither he or any Of the railroad men were
to blame for the inconv.niences OF crowded
excursion. This much is all that is necessary
to be said in defense OF Mr.. c., to the public
that knows him so well.

Germans of Buffalo.

1t is significant fact that the first
civilized man to settle on the present
site of Buffalo was German. OF few
Northern cities can it be affirmed. as of
this, that the Trutonic element con-
stitutes nearly onc-half the entire popu-
lation. The Germans of Buffalo have
their own press. literary and musical
associations, churches, theatres. and, it
is unnecessary to add, beer gardens.
while in public spirit they have in one
notable instance shown themselves
ahead Of the Americans. Nst only are
Ecrman names frequent on the business
signs OF the American quarter, but the
Germans have their own long business
street running diagonally out through
Germantown and the German pop,l-
lation has been represented frequently
IN city, county. and state officers.
Artists in search of models and au-
thors making character studies will
find few fields richer in local color than
the German quarter of Buffalo and her
two large markets. These markets are
distinctive, and help to make living
cheap. Each market occupies block,
and at the stalls everything, from
crockery. yarn, buttons, and shining
tins, to the finest cuts of beef, poultry,
fish, and green truck Of all kinds, is
exposed for sale. In midsummer they
are the market-placcs Of flowers. Pret-
ty young girls in fresh muslius tie their
pony-carts outside, and come tripping
in among the stalls TO cull out lunches
OF mlgnonettc, sweet peas, and pansies,
jostIing against baby-wagons, match
vendcrs, long-aproned butchers, white
capped Vienna roll men, and German
fraus with generous bulk of waist

After appropriate devotional exercises,

er, Rev. DR.. Smith, pastor of the Fourth
Street NJ. E. Church, p~refacing his ~presenta-
ton of the speaker, however, By a strong
address.
Rev. DE-. Smith spoke feeingly and elo-
~quently of the evils of intemperance. He
addressed himself particularly to the young
men, and set forth the great danger of tam.
pering with rum. Rum was the one thing
which, standing in the pathway of the peo-
pie, barred the way to happiness, to pros
perity, to peace, and to God.
One of the popular f~allacies of the 2
was that stimulsnts were necessary to keep
up the bodily strength in some great trial
of endurance. Now, nothing was better
known among scientists than alcohol, and
it had been decided by experts that no
strength was contained in it There q
more actual strength in one cracker than in

every case, perform the better and the

loudly applauded on closing.

Why does not somebody having the good
ofhis fellow.townfolk at heart organize a
dramatic society? We have a great deal OF
dramatic talent among us, and several per.
sops have expressed a wish to become
members of such an organization. A
society was lately formed in another city
the like of which could be made
very pleasant. This society was to
meet once in every two weeks,
a committee being selected at each meeting
to take charge Of the amusement OF the next
meeting. The programme was always dit
ferent, sometimes there was q musicale,
sometimes a little comedy was acted, some
times there were readings illustrated by
tableaux. One Of the rules ofthis club was
that each member should take part in these
entertainments but once a season, this rule
doing away with the star system, and
proving very effectusl in preventing any
small iealousies. Somebody takes the idea
in hand. There is plenty OF good material
at hand; at least two-thirds Of the society
folks in own either sing or play on some
instI ument, and lately a good many have
been taking lessons in elocution.

p~orters.
Saturday night about midnight word was
brought to police headquarters that three
men were acting in a very suspicious man
ner in the orchard at Judge Thompson's
old place, and requesting an officer to 60
out. Officers Junkins and Watson were
detailed on the case, and about one o'clock
they started out through the mud to investi-
gate. Arriving on the scene, they ascer-
tanned that 9 hack had been driven down to
the orchard on the place, and had there
turned and came back TO town, and unable
to learn anything Of the matter, the officers
returned.
Arriving in the city, they learned that
the team had come from Hills Bridgeport
livery stable. and the young man who drove
it was questioned in regard to the affair. He
admitted having made the trip, and said he
had been given 50 to say nothing. He was
finally induced II talk, and said he had
taken three men out to the Thompson
place; that they had left the hack and gone
into the orchard. While they were avay
be heard three shots fred, and in a few mo
ments the men returned and gave orders
to he taken back to Bridgeport

He admitted being one OF the. party, but
said his midnight trip was perfectly legiti-
mate. His wife and child, he said, had been
living with Mr.. P. L. Kimberly, and he and
bis friends had gone out to obtain custody
of the child. They had mistaken the way
in the darkness and driven up to a large
new barn on the Thompson place, and the
shot had been fired to attract attention.
Finding they were off the track they had
given the matter up and returned.
Mr.. Kimberly was asked if he had a wo-
man and child at his residence, and
answered that he had. They being no case
against Redman, he was discharged from
custody.
