LIGHTNING'S FREAKS.
During the Severest Storm Ever
Known in the Oil Regions
of Ohio,
Lightning Strikes q Number of OIL
Wells, Gas Works and
Tanks,
Doing Great Damage.

LIMA, OHIO, Sept. 23.-This morning at
o'clock the city was startled by terrific
clap of thunder. In a few minutes black
clouds OF smoke were seen rolling up from
one of the oil wells on the BrOtherton tarm
The fire at once communicated with a
tank, and in few minutes all was on fire.
At the same time the gas in the tank 300
yards west ignited. The wells, all of the
machinery, tanks, and about 2.4OO. barrels
of oil were consumed. At l o'clock the
derrick at the gas works oil well was
struck, consuming the entire structure
with the machinery and tanks, and 1900
barrels of oil. This we'll is adjoining the
gas works, which at one time was in great
danger, but the gas works and all of the
machinery connected Herewith were
saved. The railroad bridge was on fire sey-
eral times, caused by the Oil running down,
but was saved without much damage.
About that time high columns Of black
smoke were seen southeast from the city
Five wells are reported struck by light
ming and destroyed. Rain has been falling
in torrents. The thunder and lightning
exceeded anything of the kind known
here. The loss to oil men thus far is esti-
mated at $25,000.

RIOTING IN BELFAST.
Riots of u Purely Religious Charac-
ter Resumed in Ireland-The
Troops Charge
On the Mob With Fixed Bayonets
and Wound q Large Number
Police Repulsed.
Rowdies to the Fore.

BELFAST, Sept. 81, = Rioting was re-
sumed at dinner time at the junction of
Northumberland street and the Falls road
by the Catholic mill hands stoning the po-
lice on duty to keep the Orange Queens
Island ship yard men from coming in con-
tact with the mill hands. The stoning was
so heavy and so skillful that the police had
to retreat as far as Shanks hill, where they
were reinforced and drove the mob back,
capturing number on the way. While
the battle was going on, another mob in
different locality attacked with stones the
Black Watch regiment of Welshmen, al
though the soldiers were fully armed and
in fighting array. The troops with fixed
bayonets charged in double quick time on
the mob and drove them from the scene,
wounding a great number of the rioters
and arresting two. Still another mob got
into fight in a tram car stable and, surg
ing out into the street, threw passing car
from the track and overturned il.
The car was at the time filled
with passengers. The mob that over
turned the car evidently had not intended
to do it. They were fighting purely re-
ligious fight. but the locality was infested
with rowdies, drawn there by the riot, and
when these loafers saw the car upside
down and filled with people they fusiladed
it with stones. The terror stricken passen-
gers crowded close under the seats and
under one another and shielded themselves
as best they could with the floor mats and
seat cushions Several were hurt Their
situation was dreadful until the military
rescued them and escorted them to place
of safety

tended by 100000 People.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-The Knights Tenn
plars in attendance upon their twenty
third triennial conclave and thousands of
visitors and a great number Of citizens de-
voted their time to-day to the charity exer-
cises at the fair grounds for the benefit of
the widows and orphans of the Masonic
home, consisting of competitive drill and
the Gilmore concert. There were $1,000 to
10000 people on the grounds. The COM
mands competing in the drill were the De-
molay, Of Louisville; Zion, No. 2, of Mlnne-
apolis; Louisville No. l, and Detroit, No. 1.
No award was made, the competition be-
ing only all exhibition affair. At2 O'clock
Leader Gilmore began mastering the va
rious bands Of music which were to par
ticipate in the grand concert. They were
arranged so that different kinds Of Instru-
ments were brought together, the crazy
quilt appearance Of intermingled uniforms
was decidedly unique. When the concert
began, conservative estimate of the num-
ber Of auditors would place it at $4,000,
though it was estimated as high as 10000.
A large and excellent musical programme
was carried out. :.
Tonight the second illumination of the
city occurred, continuing from 8 o'clock
until midnight. The Flambeau battalion
gave parade and exhibition in the most
prominent thoroughfares of the West End
Ivanhoe commandery held formal recep-
ton, which was largely attended and
proved brilliant affair, while all the local
and visiting communicates kept an open
house. To-morr0w's grand parade will
follow the plans made for the parade in
terrupted Thursday.

Killing of Cattle in Chicago.

Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, Advises the
Killing of Cattle in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept Ex-Governor Oglesby
and Attorney General Hunt visited Chi
cago this morning to confer with the live
stock commission in regard to measures to
be used to wipe out the cattle plague said
to be prevailing here. After short con-
ference, at the request of Governor Oglesby
the live stock board decided to spend this
day also in experiments and post mOrtem
examinations among the infected cattle.
They were accompanied by DR.. Solomon,
DR.. j. Fl. Ranch, of the Illinois board of
health, besides the veterinarians present
yesterday from Illinois, Michigan and WIS
consin. The governor made personal in
spectiOn or the premises of the Phoenix
distillery sheds, where the animals were
slaughtered before his eyes, and had the
diseased lungs examined. The prospects
cattle in the sheds slaughtered and the
stables burned to the ground. There is lit
tie doubt but that the governor will advise
this. Other states are preparing to quaran-
tine against Illinois cattle if this is not
done.
1t has been finally decided that all the
cattle now quarantined in the Phoenix and
Shufeldt distilleries, numbering 1000, shall
be slaughtered. Post mOrtem examinations
will be held on the animals slaughtered,
and all the we'll cattle will be appraised. It
is estimated that the average appraised
value will be $S5 per head.

HIS CREDIT WAS TOO GOOD.
The President of Hartford Insurance
Company Short $4,000.

SOhpbhy ShOft 81 S,OOV
HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 22.-Mr. Bar
tholomew, the president of the Charter
Oak Life insurance company, informed the
directors Of the company OH Saturday that
his accounts were short $4,000, and on
that account the appointment of receiver
was to-day applied for. Other deficiencies
in his accounts are reported, but no state
ment is Obtainable. MIR. Bartholomew left
this city Saturday and has not since
returned. He has been in business here
for fifty years. He was one of the city's
most respected citizens and was connected
with its most important business enter
prises, and the present condition of
affairs Is creating the greatest con-
sternation ever known in business places.
He was very large borrower and had the
highest credit. At one time he indorsed
for the Charter Oak company to the ex-
tent OF S50OO00 to carry it over a hard
place. He had been considered very sue
cessful in its management. He was presi-
dent Of the Holyoke Water Power com.
pany, of the Union Manufacturing COM
pany and of the Charter Oak Life Insur-
ance company, and was interested in other
local corporations. He has been a heavy
indOrser for the Hartford Silk company
and the Union Manufacturing company,
and the extent OF his liabilities is very
large, though not definitely known.
GONE TO CANADA.
George NJ. Bartholomew, whose bank
ruptcy and flight from Hartford has Gre
ated such sensation, is in Montreal. Its
estimated that 100000 OF his paper is held
in Hartford and much elsewhere. 1t is nut
at over $1,000,O00, but no one knows the
exact amount. He will be thrown into in
solyency tomorrow, thus removing attach
mentS and prior claims.

cries Constituted.
The Parade Postponed.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21.-In consequence of a
severe rain storm which set in early this
morning it was decided to abandon the
grand parade of the Knights Templars set
down for this afternoon. In executive ses-
sion the first business was the reading of
the report of Grand Master Withcrs. This
report covered only that period from his
appointment in 1883, to June, 1886, at
which time his acceptance of the consul
generalshlp to Hong Kong necessitated
grand master to Charles W. Roome, dep
uty. grand master. 1t shows that in 1888
and 1884 thirteen Communicates were con-
stituted, chiefly in the northwestern states
and territories, Dakota coming in for the
largest share The country is congratula-
ted on the completion Of the Washington
monument while the fact is deplored that
so few contributions have been received
Of N ew York, deputy and acting grand
master, submitted the report of his
stewardship. He noted the death of
tWentyfour members of the grand en-
campment since their last meeting, ard the
erection OF eleven new communicates.
The report then proceeds to discuss the
Canada question, and insists upon it, that
Cne ocOCcn encampment antedatoS the
sovereign priyy, and, that they are there
fore not bound to be governed by it. He
recommends that the present encampment
make no effort to try to bring about a
settlement of that question. Treasurer
John Wormons, of New York, submitted
his report for the years 1888 to 1885. The
receips were S2O,361; disbursements ,$955S;
balance to new account, $10,8S4. The rev.
enues of the grand encampment have been
steadily increasing. In conjunction with
the meeting of the grand encampment will
be that of the order of the Eastern Star.
