AN ELECTRICAL PHENOMENON.
St. Elmo's Fire Badly Frightens the Crew

st. Elmo's Fire Badly Frightens the Crew
of "A Swedish Vessel.
NEW York, Nov. 2l.-The Swedish ship
Edward, loaded with iron ore, arrived Mon
day from Havre, and remarkable story is
told by the officers and crew of e hair-raising
encounter with an electrical storm. The
captain says:
"The weather had been dirty and ugly.
At $3.50 in the morning the men were bracing
the main-yards, when their work was inter.
rupted by a loud crash of thunder and an
explosion which sounded to us like the re-
port of n thousand cannon The tightening
struck the main rigging directly over the
men, and at the same moment n ball of fire,
lust like IA SHE'LL bobbed about the rigging
and then exploded When the ball of fire
exploded streaks Of fame darted in every
direction.
"It was Just like the falling Of stars. For
miles around the SEA was illuminated, and
every cord III our rigging shone like strands
of silver The briiliaucy was but mo-
mentary, and we were left i'll darkness. In
less than five minutes, and before we had
recovered from the shock of the previous
bolt another terrible flash of lightning, fol-
lowed by an explosion of another ball of fire,
sent us scurryng in every direction for
shelter. We were all thoroughly frightened
The crew could not do any work. But our
fears and astonishment were destined to be
still further increased.
"Just as we were getting on our feet again
and thanking God that we had escaped with
our lives, there was another thrilling display
| was standing on the quarter deck and the
men were about TO again attempt to brace
the main-yards Suddenly, and with an
awful sound, flash of lightning broke right
above the main rigging, and out of it we
could see another ball of fire playing above
the rigging from the starboard side, right
over to the port side. 1t, too, exploded, but
with Il noise and scattering of flaming frag-
ments which sunk the previous ones into
comparative insignifcance.
Il was dazed, and when | recovered sight
and sense not one Of my men was on his feet
The whole crew was prostrate; some tum-
bling about ON top of each other, some cry
ing with fear and others stretched on their
backs as though they had been struck dead.
As soon as the crew was able to get around
made thorough examination of the ves-
sci and rigging. It was not injured in the
least and showed no signs whatever of the
awful fusilladen

any assistance, and the little sufferer per.
ished where she fell.

The fifth annual grand ball given at

as is everything the engineers set about
to do. Near a hundred couples were
present, and all were unanimous in pro-
nouncing the ball very enjoyable. Each
person present seemed to vie with the
other in being pleasant add promoting
the general good feeling, so necessary
to the entire success of such an under
taking. There was sufficient number
present to make dancing enjoyable
without being overcrowded. Many of
the ladies were in elegant evening Co.'S

from ear, throat or finger. The gentle
men were not behind in the matter of
full-dress toilets, The mus C, which
was furnished by OF en- Bsn1, was all

fully arranged An unusually IoU e

ofone of the happiest events of the day.
The bright faces of hundreds of light
hearted children, with here and there
an older countenance and with now and
then languid dude, made picture
full of variety, beauty and Joy. The
attendance was, as it always is on such
occasions, exceedingly large, and the
success of the affair financially was as
great as it was socially.
Finding that the older people present
had not had half enough, 1t was de-
cid d to hold another party in the
evening at the same place, and from 6
O'Clock in the evening till nearly mid
night the dancing was kept up with all
the zest and enjoyment that belongs to
so successful a ball. The floor was
thronged with dancers from the OPEN
ing to the close, and at one time there
we're nearly one thousand people in thu
building. The affair was voted one of
the most enjoyable that ever transpired
within the walls of the theatre, and the
ladies OF the COMMITTEES have great rea-
ton to feel gratified at the issue.
