Stop at the Pacific House. The most
centrally located hotel in the city.
A Shocking Storm.

About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, dur
ing the progress of the shower, many of the
citizens in the central and eastern portions of
the city were startled by an unusually vivid
flash of lightning, followed by peal of tbun-
der that fairly shook the earth. 1t was in
stantly coniectured that the electric fluid
had struck somewhere in the vicinity and in
quiries were made to locate the exact spot
The first place found to have been visited by
the destructive current was the residence of
G arles M. Herl, on Ca land avenue. The
bolt struck the building at the south end of
the gable, and ran down the roof
scattering shingles in every direction and
tearing and splintering the roof boards in a
most reckless manner. 1t circed around the
chimney, and then entered the house, Jump
ing through the attic to the floor and tearing
hole through the ceiling of the room under
meath. Here all trace of it was lost, and it's
path OF egress from the building is unknown.
Mrs. Harl was standing in a room on the
lower floor directly under the spot where the
ceiling was pierced by the bolt, and received
very severe shock. She says that the cur
rent seemed TO pass directly under her spine,
and she las since suffered heavy pains in her

so. If the saffron in the hue of his skin is
traceable to the bile in his blood, its presence
in the wrong place instead of the liver, will
also be evinced by fur on the tongue, pain

posed to be the barn of her son -in-lsw

ings, only identified by the skeletons, SIS
follows: Old lady Freeze, Fred Grateful
sicheD, his wife and three children and
Fred's brother, scattered in different
parts Of the barn. Horses and cows,
some fifteen in number, were also burned.
One OF the theories is foul play. Another
is that each of the family aimed to save
an spimsl and all failed and were suffo-
csted. A daughter who is awsy visiting
is .he only survivor Of the family, but it
