 by Lightning.

During Saturday afternoons sharp thunder storm the residence of Henry Simpkins on Bucks Hill, above the Pearsall property, was struck by lightning, set fire to and damaged considerably. The bolt entered inside the chimney, set fire to the woodwork around the fire place in the parlor, ran around the gilt picture frames burning them, and then went through a partition wall making, hole as clean as if made by bullet, and entered the kitchen where a general havoc ensued. The tables and chairs were overturned, the oilcloth and zinc torn off the floor and things stirred generally. Mrs Simpkins was away from home at the time, but one of the neighbors, c.

Of the stove carries the hot air to the
end of the car. The pipe is always open
at this end. AT the other end is a drum
containing eighteen feet of pipe coil, in
which the heat is stored. The supply
Of heat is regulated by a screw which
connects with the retort. This in
creases or diminishes the supply of gas
in the stove and. consequently, the dis
tribution OF heat.
The modus operandi is simple. When
one of the stoves is to be set at work a
torch is put in the stove and kept there
until the heat is sufficient to transform
the oil to gas, which will then burn.
From that time until the kerosene sup
ply in the tank is exhausted the flow of
gas is constant and uninterrupted.
1--WE have 10 Of these heaters ready
for the cars" said Superintendent
Threedy yesterday, land every car on
the line, grips included, will be pro-
vided with them this winter. You can
readily see the advantage Of this heater
over others. There is no smoke, no
dirt, no pipes in the way, no coal to be
shOvelcd in nor ashes to be taken out.
and the gas burns, all bother ceases.
The gas flows steadily. and all that need
be done is to regulate the heat, and you
see that's nc trouble"
will it be expensive to run these
stoves?"
"NIr. Steele, the inventor, assures us
that it will not average more than IL
cents a day for each car. The four gall
Ions will last about twelve hours. The
heat is stored in the drum in front of
the car. We propose to put two stoves
in all the long cable cars; one stove, we
think, will do for the horse cars"
EThe men at the repair shops of the
company, at Fullerton and Sheffield
avenues, are busily engaged putting
these stoves in all the cars. The work
is being done under the supervision Of
Mr.. John Miller, superintendent of the
barns. Exclusive of the grips $50 cars
will be heated. All the cars, it is ex-
pected, will be supplied with stoves by

II eating Cars.

The patrons on the North Side street
railway system are to be made comforta-
bic this winter when they ride in the
cars, says the Chicago Tribune. A new
heater has been put in the cars and
found to work satisfactorily. A test was
made in a Fullerton avenue car. The
car was run all day with the heater and
the contrivance worked perfectly from
the time the light vas applied until the
car was run in the barn. Another
heater was set at work in one. OF the
cars. President Yorker, Supcrinten-
dent Threedy, Vice-President Winston ,
and other officials OF the rOad watched
its operation and the unanimous verdict
was, Just the thing
h heater is. the improved Steele
street car heater and was patented May
II last. 1t has been adopted in phila-
delphia, Minneapolis, st. Paul and New
York. 1t consists OF a small zinc tank
containing five gallons of kerosene that
Is carried on ton of the car at the front
end. From this tank a winding pipe
half an inch In diameter connects with
a cast iron stove under the car and be-
tween the wheels. 1t is in this stove
that the heat is generated.
h small pipe connected with the
kerosene tank goes down through
the car roof in the corner OF
the car, passes under the scat
aud connects with a retort attached to
the stove. 1t conducts the oil to the
retort, where the heat OF the stove soon
transforms it TO gas. The stove is pro-
tcctcd by a shect-iron jacket. 1t is
seEoatcon inches long, eight wide, and
cleEGa deep, and is so arranged that
the cold air blows directly i'm and

HOW ACCOUNTS ARE NOT KEPT.

An effort to ascertain something def
cite as to the actual expenses of the
pOor farm, and the financial mOdus gov
erning the same, has developed some
queer facts. I'm the first place, Super
intendent Mahoney makes no monthly,
quarterly or annual report OF receipts
or expenditures of the institution,
neither by the commissioners is he re-
quired to. The superintendent re-
ports are confined exclusively to monthly
statements of the admission and dis
charge Of inmates, and Of the financial
status of the farm the commissioners
clerk must be looked TO. Even here
there is no distinctive report Of the
finances of the farm, all expenses, as
shown by the vouchers, being itcmlzed
in with the general expenses Of the
county. Here the orders are issued and
vouchers returned, but there is neither
separate report made or account kept.
If it is desired to ascertain the cost of
provisions, coal, or other necessities of
the institution, the report OF the coun-
tvs general expenses must be gone
over, and those wanted eliminated
from the bulk, and this is always at
tended with more or less dlflCulty ana
perpleXity, owing to the liability Of get
ting accounts mixed.
