A Fearful Stroke of Lightning.

There was a binding blast, a
terrible crash, AS if the skies had
been set on fire and the earth had
fallen IN pieces. On Sunday after
noon the people Of East Point
we're shocked BY a stroke of hight
ming, the like Of which had never
been experienced by any of them
before. About dusk a gray cloud
hung over the town. There had
been no lightning, no thunder, nor
any indication Of an electric storm.
Suddenly a flash and a crash came
simultaneously and people rushed
from their houses with blancbed
faces. The danger was past, but
the brief experience was terrible.
There had been an electric shower.
The lightning had separated into
twenty or more bolts and struck as
many places within a radius Of a
mile. The air was filed with the
OdOr of birthstone and a copper
cOlOrcd cloud hOated northward
from the city. A wind mill was
struck and damaged, the grass on
a lawn was burned up, a window
in a house was shattered and the
carpet in a bedroom scorched, a
COW was killed, tree split open,
and a telegraph operator knocked
from his chair. The most wonder
ful thing about the electric shower
was the rolling Of great balls Of
fire up the railroad tracks. The
small masses went bouncing aud
cracking along the rails to the ter.
ror OF the citizens. 1t was certain
ly terrible bolt of lightning, aud
those who were near will remember
it to their dying day.-FrOm the

with pride OF having a drink with
Webster, standing with him at the
bar. He said Webster never knew
the value of money, and was ust
az likely TO start for Washington
without cent IN his pockets as
not. Uncle Bill was IN the late
war, and brought home four bull
let's at different times. He was the
man who grabbed Sheridan's
horse when the General reached
the field of Cedar Greek in his ride
from Winchester. He enlisted in
the Thirty.fourth New York, and
was in Libby Prison. Happening
to know one of the sous of Libby,
through his intercession he was re.

see the industries OF the State Ian

willing TO accept the proposition Of
foreign bond holders with some

done without an increase in taxa

Support of protection, an in

bill and advocacy OF the repeal o.
internal revenue taxation will give
Virginia Republicans q winning

strong wind was blowing toward

was soon beyond the control OF the

WAIT A FORTNIGHT.

Virginia is In greater danger to-
day, if possible, than at any perlOd
since 1879.
We would simply ask our read
ers to wait for another two weeks
developments.
m have headed the reported
usrS inces of Colonel Lamb can
for the reason that
We Us vine we do kRoic and can
prOce that the atmosphere about
Washington has been full OF trea-
son on the Virginia debt question
for more than three years.
The reader Will also see from
Captain Wise's reported recalci'
trancy that it would he idle tor us
to relate the whole story OF the
compromise, as we promised last
week to do, when developments
are coming in so rapidly.
We should remember that both
parties hold conventions within the
next two weeks, and both should
be expected to deal bravely with
the allimpOrtant subject confront
ing Virginians in their State cleo
tiOns.
We can afford to wait two weeks
10 know the whole truth. Then
we can be on the side of it without
explanations.
We have lately read OF General
Mahone's desire to reopen the debt
question. We now hear Lamb
saying over his old piece of 1877,
when he was a last dollar man.
We read o: Langston's opposition
10 too much Confederate. we Just
have Wise's demand Tor strict
enforcement of the contract. We
lust hear that Brady is fright
ened at his own part in the job.
Possibly they begin to fear that
the timely and full exposures to
come of the most Infamous trafic
proceedings, involving the rights
and interests of the people OF a
whole state, ever known to the
politics of this country, may set .
Senate to thinking when confrms'

The only right way to achieve
success Is to deserve it.
The Republicans Of this part OF
the State think they know what is

think so they are not to be trifed

THE WISE ESCAPADE.

We ale sorry that Hon. John 5
Wise should have again put HIM
self before the public in such an
unenviable attitude. His card to
the Dispatch is of little help Ia
him. There Is no denial IN it OF
the main allegations to wit: That
he admitted trade ; that The
Richmond z. 0 was his share OF
spoils; that this was denied, and
that he then produced a letter from
ClarksOn.
All the balance IS Of little conse-
quence compared with this. Moth
ing will now satisfy the friends OF
Mr.. WIee that he was not in the
deal except a denial by him of the
above statements. The embellish-
ments OF the newspaper reporters
are TO be expected, and require no
reputation generally.
Query: Did Mr.. wise have a
promise of the Richmond P. o. :
Was such promise made by letter
of the Asst. p. NJ. General? Was
it all done in connection with the
30. called compromise
These are questions which affect,
not Mr.. Wise alone, but the Re
publican party, and they should
be met in a spirit of trankness that
will react upon those who are US
ing that deal to the great detri'
ment of the whole Republican par.
ty. The snake should be killed,
not scotched.

Old Virginia Wedding.

tereStng "reminiscences. The con-
tract parties bear historical names

the bride. where the marriage cere.
mOny took place, is one of the old
mansions that have come down
from colonial times. 1t was begun
by Mathew Page IN 1903. 1t il n

four rooms and two halls inter

the lower hall is a large fireplace
in which the glorious hickory fires

good Cd customs Of the past were
revived at the wedding. When
the pair arose from their knees,
after receiving the benedlctlOn, the
groom sealed the contract with a
kiss upon the rosy not reluctant
bps of the bride. Dancing then
began, the happy couple leading
off. Then followed the sumptuous
banquet. Gracious think OF tbe

A C0LORED LEADER ON VIRGINIA
POLITICS.

The President has not heard the
the last Of the Virginia compromise,
Today he received a call from Prof.
John NJ. Langston, the cOlOred Re.
publican leader, who took occasion
TO explain The status of the case
from his standpoint. This Is the
first opportunity Prof Langston
has had 10 talk with the President
since the compromise was effected,
and he desired that his position
should be thoroughly understood.
He informed the President that he
is willing to go into the coming
fight in Virginia and do all in his
power to uphold the Republican
standard. He says he cannot for
get that General Malone and his
henchmen did all they could to de.
feat him for Congress in the Peters.
burg district, but he does not pro.
pose to do anything that will oper.
ate against the probable success of
the party. lie does not think it
advisable TO place Malone at the
head of the State ticket, because
it is believed that the latter has so
many personal enemies throughout
the State that he could hardly be
expected TO succeed. Prof. Lang.
stOn says he proposes TO accept the
the terms of the compromise in
good faith, but he sincerely hopes
the Norfolk convention will select
State ticket that will call forth
the united and harmonious support
Of the party. He would suggest
man who can take liberal view OF
the cOlored question, who believes
IN Republican principles so far as
the tariff question is concerned,
and one who will Loyalty support
the Blair or similar educatiOnaI
measure. He does not think it
would be well to put too much ex.
Confederate material on the ticket,
because he says 1t is generally con.
coded that personal advancement
has more to do with the conversion
of ex.Confederates TO the Republi.
can cause than true party prlnci.
pies.
In his opinion the Democrats
Will nominate n gentleman who can
command the unanimous support
and respect Of his party, and under
the circumstances it will heavily
handicap the Republicans should
they place in nomination any one
bat a man who would also command
popular confidence and respect.
The candidates of both parties
should be above reproach, and only
their political differences should be
open to criticism. He says there
are many gentlemen among the
Virginia Republicans who can &C
ceptably fill the bill, and he hopes
the nominating convention will
give such men the preference when
the slate is made up. Prof. Lang
ston does not hesitate to say that
ex-Congressman Lamb, OF Norfolk,
would make an admirable guber-
material candidate and John 5.
Wise wOnld make strong race for
the attorney generalship. These
views he presented to the Presi-
dent with all the vigor and empha-
sis OF which he was capable.

impossible to guess how long it will

The water actually got up TO the

called "Contrary," aud seems to be
rightly named.
The exact amount Of damage
