thunder storm that passed over eastern
Ontarlo and the whole of Quebec Thursday
night and yesterday. was tie most terrific

barns have been burned or blown down, and
crops In many places were entirely de-
stroyed. Horses and cattle by the hundred
have been killed, and many people are lost.
Reports are Just beginning to come in from
the surrounding country, and the list OF
people killed Is rapidly increasing.
DEATHS HARVEST.
AT a small village called st. Louis De
GonZAQue, Captain Louis Suave, his wife
and son and daughter we're sitting in their
Kitchen when several bolts of lightning
struck the house at the same time. The
building seemed to collapse and then caught
ire. The Hoods of rain extinguished the
hre and those villagers who were not panic
stricken, dragged the family from the de-
brls, but 1t was found that while none had
been even cut by the falling house the whole
family had been struck by lightning. The
father wife and son were instantly killed.
Inc daughter cannot live, A laborer whose
name Is unknown, employed on the Suave
farm, was also killed by bolt that struck
the barn half an hour after the house was
struck.
At st. 1gnace George Larimer was killed
by tree, which had been struck by light
ming. falling upon him.
prletor was killed while closing the window
Of his room.
A report comes from Chaudiere that two
iumbermen were swept over the falls while
crossing the river. Lightning struck their
canoe and they were swept to death into the
raging river.
A hotel at Smiths Falls was get on fire,
and it is reported that the wife of the pro-
prietor died from fright.
From all over Quebec come reports of
houses being set on fire and families being
left destitute; and in small place called
Original the parish church was struck by
lightning. The church was full of people
and at the time theg were praying for pro-
lection from the storm. A panic ensued
and many people we're seriously injured by
being trampled upon.
Among the French Canadians the storm
was simply frightful, and the priests held
mass nearly all night. In the city all the
electric lights went out, and there was q
p8nlc among the guests at the hotels. Ths
postof6ce dome was struck. The electric
lighting company's station was set on fire
and badly damaged. Trees were torn up,
telegraph poles blown down. and miles of
telegraph, telephone and electric light wires
entirely burned out by lightning. 1t is esti-
mated that the damage done by the storm in
this province will reach over 81, 500, 600.
Reports from Valleyfield state that five
men have been killed by lightning in that
city. Great damage has been done along
the st. Louis river. Houses and barns have
been burned or swept away, and it is impos-
sible to approximate the damage.

Steamer Collision,

New YORK, August 1.-THE absence of
news from the Thingvala is causing con-
siderable uneasiness. If, as reported, she
reached there before this. 1t is thought
barely possible that she is making for this
port. On the other hand she may have
been picked up and taken in tow either by
the Allen steamer, Caucasian from Liver
pool or the Red Star steamer Portia, from
st. Johns, N. F., both of which are due in
Halifax to-day, and both of which should
certainly see the Thingvalla while going to
Halifax.
LIST OF THE LOST.
New YORK, August 1.-THE corrected list
of the lost is 1O5, as given by Captain Muel-
Ter, of the Inflated steamship Geiser. The
Geiser carried ninety three passengers and
crew of fOrty-t three. Of the passengers
fourteen we're saved and of the crew seven
teen. This makes the list of lost seventy
nine passengers and twenty six crew.

The Republican Convention.

The Republican National Convcn.
tion willmcct in Chicago on 10th June.
The field is full. Of candidates, with
any number of dark horses who hold
themselves ready to como in at an
opportunc time. There is great talk
about "barrels" in connection with the
nomination, this seeming to be very
necessary qualification in the eyes of
the party for Presidential candidate.
Gov Algcr, of Michigan, seems to be
very we'll fixed in this matter, as is
also John Sherman; but as he has un-
successfully tapped his barrel several
times, it is believed he will DC little
cautious. In connection with Algcr,
1t is said that he is making an effort to
capture tho Southern delegates. His
photographs arc being generally dis
tributcd among tho negroes of tho
South. 1t is said that Strakcr, the
negro lawyer, who appeared before
tho South Carolina Convention and
spoke in favor of Algcr, received
$3,500 for his services, which, how
ever, was seemingly unsuccessful. Tho
large majority of tho delegates from
this State arc colored, and thoy arc
naturally for Sherman, but any man
who opens his barrel for them will get
their votes. Whoever may secure tho
prizo will in all probability receive an
empty honor. The Republican party
is in no shape to make q strong fight
Aside from their opposition to tho
reduction of tho tariff they arc divided
amongst themselves, while the Demo
Gratis arc united and enthusiastic.
Nothing that the Convention may do
Will lessen the prospects Of Demo
cratic success.

AS to Expenses.

Tho Edgciield Monitor says in sub
stance that Capt. .Tillman, in order to
mako out q case against the present
government, places tho appropriation
for the State House among the cxtrav-
agances of tho powers that be. Whilc
this increases tho cost of governmental
expenses, surely no ono will say that
this is an unnecessary work, or that it
is money wrung from the people by
burdensomo taxation. 1t is q most
necessary work, and if many other
charges made against the government
MS TO extravaganza were shown up it
would be seen that most of the charges
have just such foundations. If taxes
can be reduced without materially
efecting tho government it should be
done.
We think it unjust, however, to
charge tho government with cxtrava-
gancc in such a matter as the State
House. Other instances of similar
nature could be mentioned, which,
whilo they. really increase expenses,
arc of the greatest Importance to the
State materially or otherwise.
There. is no man who can object to
reduced taxation, as Chairman Till
man announces it, but there arc ccr-
tain enterprises which ought to be
carried on-cnterprisos which although
thoy cost money will ultimately result
in benefit to tho State. The govern
mcnt, like everything else, ought to
be progressive, as in farming or any
other undertaking. as we move
forward in progress expenses will also
move in like proportion. Whatever,
therefore, results in tho benefit of
the whole State ought not to be
charged to extravaganza.
The Monitor puts it wisely in q well
taken simiic:
AS well might he include in his
yearly farm expenses tho cost Of
steam engine and compare the cX-
pcnScs Of that year with those Of tho
previous year and assume that the in
crease indicated rccklossncss and ex-
travagancc on his part, when really
and in point Of fact the increase was
tho result of wise and necessary OK
pcnditurc. Tho increased cX 9cnscs OF
the State government, which Mr.. Till
naG cries out so Justify against, are
