LleHTNlNe's STRANGE FREAKS.


Queer aud Serious Things Done In u
Twinkling by the Subtle Fluid.
james Craig, a Scottish servant EN-.
ployed by Elias Rogers, a carpenter
who resides at Allentown, n. j..
was the victim Of a queer prank
Of lightning a few years ago.
He was sitting in the kitchen
broiIIng a piece Of meat over the
lire. and q fierce thunder storm was
raging without. A flash Of lightning
struck the house and the electric cur
rent came down the chimney, knocked
Craig s]eusrlc-s. and threw the meat
aud spider into another room.
Crazy was given up for drad, but in
an hour caue IN aud stated that lac bad
not beu lusrHsihle since the second
when llc shock occurred, bat had been
unaDio to move a muscle, although he
had beard everything that was going
ola about him, His left side was badly
burned and one 81 his shoes was torn
from his foot and found nearly twenty
lrrt from where he sat when the house
WIS struck.
Two peculiar cases Of death by cleo.
triciiy occurred in Asbury Park a fcw
years ago, and the story is oft told
there. James Young and Henry
Brooke, Two house painters, were at
work on the exterior OF a cottage on
Wesley lake when "A terrible thunder
storm came up, They fled to the in
terror Of the house, and after tho
storm had passed and the sun was
again shining they went back TO their
scatfOld.
Just Is each painter touched his
brush tothe wet woodwork a flash Of
lightning came, followed quickly by a
crash of thunder. and n workman in a
near by house saw both of them fall.
Shortly afterward it was discovered
that both men were dead although
their bodies bore no marks, save dull
black lines about the fingers which
held the paint brushes.
One day n 6-year-old child in a Con-
necticut town was playing in the gar
rett during a severe thunder storm. A
chimney was struck. The bolt ran

No stronger vessels than those of
the Dundee whaltrs are built; they
are from four hundred 10 one thou
sand tons displacement. have power
fui, well secured engines to resist the
shock of ramming or stoppage OF the
propeller by Ice, and are built with an
eye TO the easy aud rapid replacement
of the ruddIr. propeller, and propeller
shaft if damaged, these parts being
carried in duplicate. Above all other
considerations, they possess strength
for ramming as well as resistance To
lateral pressure when nipped.
Another very important feature is
that the bow shall have considerable
inclination, which permits the vessel,
when nmming very heavy ice, to
lift slightly and slide on il, thus cas-
ing the shock and assisting the cutting
action of the bow with the downward
crushing weight Of the ship. In this
way it is possible for these steamers at
full speed TO ram ice over twenty feet
thick, receiving no immediate inca
pacitating damage.
Ii the ice is not too heavy, the shear
like rise and fan of the slip is repeat
cd several times as the vessel stcams
powerfully ahead until her Roadway
is checked. The difficulty then is to
extract the ship from the dock she has
cut by her advance; the Zoe press on
her sides, cakes of ice and slush I'll
her wake, aud there is nothing but
the ice hampcred propeller with which
to overcome her inertia and draw back
out Of the nip. Frequently this is in.
sufficient, and the ship may be crush

Modern Rome.

Since 1870 the aspect of Rome has
considerably changed. The old mar
row winding streets are a thing of the
past, and are replaced by large, wide
thoroughfares. Blocks of the old
houses have been knocked down and
large modern palazzi have sprung up
in their stead. The narrow Corso of
old times will soon be no more, as it is
gradually being widened by half again
its original width. The charming villa
Ludovisi, with its beautiful trees,
shady walks, and sparkling fountains,
has been turned into a new quarter,
with wide street and large houses.
The gate of Porta Pia, where the
breach was made in 1870, and outside
of which there was nothing but vine.
yards and fields, will soon, instead Of
being the limit of the town, be the
center, because houses are springing
up now to a good two miles outside
that gate. The waste ground and fields
all around st. John Lateran are no
more, a new suburb having sprung up
there.
The Tiber also is being widened and
an embankment is being built on each
side, and handsome new bridges cross
the river at different points. The
widening of the Tiber is neccsSitating
a slight change in one or two of the
old Monuments, such as the Bridge of
st. Angelo, to which will have TO be
added another arch; and the Temple
Of Ncsta runs some ris,; Of being tam
percd with; but il is hoped that, as
just at that point the river curves, and
by doing so makes il sufficiently easy
for the width TO be effected on the OPP
posite side, that advantage will be
taken. London Tablet.

ago an exact duplicate, and because the
original proved so thoroughly reliable she
did not want any other make.

A Bale on Fire in the Helvetia.

A bale'of cotton was discovered smould-
ering in the hatch of the German steam
ship Helvetia, lying at GordOn's wharf. yes
terday forenoon. The bale was hoisted on
deck, and the fire was put out before much
damage was done. A part of parlor match
box, OF the cat and mouse brand, was
found near the bale. A survey on the vessel
was called at the instance of Capt. Ian
derer and the German consul. The follow
ing composed the board: Capt. William
Pfefer of the German steamship Wuotan
James T. Stewart, Lloyd's agent; one port
warden, and William Schroeder, acting
consul. The board examined the hatch
where the bale was taken out, and had two
OF the bales next to it pulled out, but saw
no signs or fire. The three bales were left
on deck and the vessel was ordered to con-
tlnue loadinng, as there was no apparent

The Port Society Rooms Filled with
Seafarin9 People.
The concert at the seamen's reading
rooms last night was success, despite the
rain. Nearly 200 sailors were present, as
were q good many ladies and gentlemen
from the city. The committee Of arrange
ments was composed Of Mrs. J. II. Hunter
and Miss M. johnson, and they did every
thing to make the affair success.
Among those who took part were Mrs.
Finney, Mrs. DIR. Brandt, and Mr.. Billing
ton. Chaplain g. L. Gilmore sang 'The
song that reached my heart" which was
greatly enjoyed. The rest of the programme
was finished by the sailors Mrs. Finney's
singing was the feature of the evening. It
was highly complimented by everybody.
Capt Andrews Of the bark Valona and sew
eral other officers were present, and added
to the enjoyment of the concert. Refresh
ments were served after the concert exer-
cises
Chaplain Gilmore said last night that the
daily attendance at the rooms is constantly
increasing. At present there are not less
than seventy five seamen in the rooms at
night On Sundays the attendance often
runs up to 100. The literature for, the
bethel, the chaplain says, is running short.
He has placed box at the postoffice for all
those who wish to contribute papers, maya
zines, etc, for the sailors. The chaplain
said that if the attendance continues to IN
crease larger quarters will have to be
secured. The present quarters are not large
enough now. The objective point, he said,
is home for the sailors. He wants to get
them quarters where they can be fed and
furnished lodging. He believes that larger
quarters will be secured next year.

owing to the only road leading to

afraid to drive their teams to the track.
With the opening Of Bay street tc the Au-

the race track will be little over a mile,
and the drive will be over wide, dry road,
and about as free from danger from rail-
road trains as any place that is near a large
city can be. With the large increase in the
population and wealth of Savannah it
should be able to keep up a jockey club.
