Desperate Battle With the Elements.
The steamship Alene, from North Hayti,
came into port this morning, after desperate
battle with the elements. On Saturday last
gale struck her. Thunder and lightning ac-
companied it. At noon the man on lookout
saw an immense ball OF fire descend like a me-
teor from the murky skies, alight on the main
top mast, glide down into the rigging, and fly
from one rope to the other. A second later
there was a horrible crash of thunder, and the
ship rocked as if she had struck some sub
merged wreck. For few seconds 1t literally
rained splinters of wood. The maintop mast
had been struck by the lightning and smashed
to smIthereens. The Captain of the Alene re-
ports that on July II and II Hippolyte tried
hard to capture Port-au-Prince, but was re-
pulsed several times, with heavy losses. On
July ID Hippolyte was driven back nine miles
to Croix des Bougeneto, where he was when the
Alene sailed.
Ca night Beneath Falling Bricks.
A tall brick chimney on three-story tene-
ment house down town collapsed at 10 o'clock
this morning. The debris crashed through the
roof and three floors to the basement, and
knocked big hole in the front cellar wall.
On the way down, the bricks swept Nicolo
Santo and Antonio REM. with their bedsteads,
into the falling wreck. The two Italians and
half of the bricks were thrown into a little
secondhand clothing store on the ground
noor. Catharine Duffy and Bridget Clayton,
owners Of the store, were sleeping in It when
the Italians and bricks dropped. The bed, the
bricks, the women and the Italians together
lay against the street door, holding It shut,
but guided by the yeIls of the four, the police
anu tiremen broke it open and pulled them out.
They were all uninjured, save for few
bruises.
