A Thunder Shower.

There was heavy shower accompanied
by thunder and vivid lightning, at about
l.3O o'clock this morning. The first bright
flash of lightning burned off an electric light
wire between the light station and the PRESS
office, extinguishing half the lights in the
editorial and composing rooms. Blue flames
played for an instant around the wires in
the rooms, and several of the compositors,
who had composing sticks in their hands,
received shocks which made their arms
Jingle.
Six lights were also burned out in the
Argus office, and in several other places in
the city damage was done to electric lights.
1t was wonder more harm was not done.

MIR. LIBBY's STATEMENT.
THE AK UNAFFECTED.

TIE defalcation of Mr.. Blackstone, if of
no greater amount than he has stated, will
prove a trifiing loss to the bank. The bank
was founded seventy years ago, and it now
has a surplus Of over 100000.
Blackstone's bond to the bank was for
$4,000. There are three sureties, his father
being one. The other two it was impossible
to ascertain last night.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1886-12-01
THE DEFAULTER.

Mr.. Howard L. Blackstone is 80 years of
age, and has family in Deering. Twelve
years ago he entered the Canal Bank as a
junior clerk, but his aptness and natural
ability speedily advanced him to the position
he so lately held. No man connected with
the bank was more trusted than he, and
there was none whose fall would have
caused greater surprise. He was very atten-
tive to all the duties devolving on him, and
the officers say he could fill any Office with
the greatest credit. He was a great favorite
with his fellow employees, and had many
friends outside of the institution. He had
no bad habits. In fact, the officers called
him model man.
The property surrendered by Mr.. Black
stone to the bank consists of the deed of the
house and number of certificates of mining
stock. The value of the house is $4,000; Of
the certificates of stock, probably nothing.
