Work of the Lightning.

Yesterday about noon, while the
thunder storm was about beginning
there occurred one of those curious
freaks of lightning that battle the
knowledge of scientists and cause peo.
Pile to wonder that it was no worse.
When the storm began Mr.. l.. Frend-
enstein, who lives on West Galena
street near Washington. was seated
in his home surrounded by his four
children, Mrs. F. icing on the porch
scrubbing. The first flash of lightning
struck the house and the shock pros.
trated all the children, but did not af-
feet Mr.. Frendenstein. After picking
up the little ones the gentleman hast
ened TO the porch to look after his
wife, and to his surprise and horror
found her lying on her face and bleed
ing profusely. He at once called for
help, and Mr.. Murray, Of the tele-
phone Office, and DIR. Whitford at
once responded. An examination by
the physician showed that she was
not dead, but that she had surely been
struck and severely shocked. The
blood was the result of a cut over the
left eve caused by the fall when the
shock was sustained. The escape OF
Mrs. +. was wonderful. That she
was directly struck is certain for
both of her shoes were torn of
her feet, the lightning having ripped
one from the instep clear to the toe,
and the other down the side and
along the sole. One of her limbs
was also paralyzed for time.
The house was much damaged,
boards and shingles being ripped of
and several articles of furniture
broken. The children are now all
right, and Mrs. Frendenstein, though
prostrated by nervousness, is out OF
danger.-Butte Miner.

surest Tranquiiirer OF the Nerves.

The surest trapquilixer Of the nerves Is . medi-
cine which remedies their supersensitiveness BY
invigorating them. 0ver-tenson OF the nerves
always weakens them. What they need, then, is q
tonic, not sedative. The latter Is only useful
when there is intense mental excitement and an
immediate necessity exists for producing quietude
Of the brain. Hosteter's Stomach Bitters restores
tranquility Of tine nerves by endowing them with
the vigor requisite to bear without being Jared
disturbed unheathfully, the ordinary impressions
produced through the media OF sight hearing vnd
reflection. Nay IT does more than this-ii en-
ables them TO sustain degree Of tension from
tai application which they would be totally unable
10 endure without Its assistance Such, at least Is
the irresistible conclusion TO be drawn from the
testimony ofbusiness and professional men, ltera-
teurs, clergymen and Others who have tested the
fortfying and reparat We influence Of this celebrs-
ted tonic aud nervine.

Foundations Of the New Slaughter Ho'

Foundations Of the New Slaughter House.
A drive to the slaughter house OF
Hough & Dustin, yesterday, at Old
Town, revealed to us some idea of how
rapidly the work of rebuilding the
new plant was going on. The con-
tract Of building the base, which is of
brick, and 4sxl35 feet for the main
building, was let to M. V. Boughton
to be completed i'm six days. This
work including the tower will be fin
ished by noon to-day, having one half
day to spare. The number of bricks
used In the base and tower is about
l24, ZOO. The base walls are seven feet
high, three feet below the surface, the
framework above is to be % feet max
ing the building proper 20 feet high.
This gives them ample room above
ground. The cellar will have forty
eight stone piers, and the bottom will
be cemented, this being quite
necessary since it is one OF the
principal rooms that will be needed.

Were received yesterday and several
more are expected to-day. The yards

the old ones are hardly secure. The

quent in these latter days that it Isl great
relief when we can Gnd that they are not
sustained. During the few years of his
residence in Philadelphia the Rev. Waldo
Messaros has been frequently heard of in
the newspapers, and frequently in collision
with portions Of his flock. lie is now being
tried on a charge Of assault upon female
sheep, who seems from the evidence to be
black one. The story she told had great
improbability in it, but it was stoutly
sworn to. The evidence to rebut it seems
to be satisfactory. The Rev. Messaros is
very probably not the meekest of his Mas
ter's servants or the cleanest; but he has
not been proved guilty of the present
charge against him.
