Proof ARafns, Lightning.

HAMILTON, o., Feb. CA heavy
storm, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, passed over this section yes
terday afternoon. II. Ii. Gentry, a
telegraph operator at Carlisle, had a
strange experience while the storm was
at its height. AS be was sitting at his
instrument lightning struck the wire,
and, demolishing the switchboard,
descended into the office, badly burned
his right hand, burned of his
moustache and singed all the hair on
head, yet inflicted no serious bodily
injury. In relating his experience he
said; "All of a sudden it seemed TO me
that a food OF electric light had been
lit in my Office, The next second was
blinded and could not see for an instant
and thought that ! had been deprived
of my eyesight.'

The Boiler Blew Tn.

OMAHA, Feb, 22.-About II o'clock
this morning a terrific noise was heard
in the vicinity of the packing houses at
South Omaha and on investigation it
was found hat the massive steam boiler
in the Automatically packing house
had blown up,
Employees in the building were imme-
diately at the scene and the fire depart
ment was called out.
On investigation it was found that the
engine room was a complete wreck.
Three men we're killed outright and
seven others were badly injured. The
bodies of the three men killed were hor-
ribly mangled, so that they were hardly
recognizable. The James of the killed
and wounded cannot be secured at this
writing.
The cause of the explosion is not
known

A Novel Parade.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 2l.-The parade OF
the "Rheinlanders,' a German club,
which was intended to advertise their
big ball at Turner hall last night, was
the most disgraceful exhibition ever
seen in this city. A huge float mounted
on a transfer wagon represented a
prison, within which three we'll kno' a
saloonkeepers ate bread and water.
Outside was a mock professional batter
and bogus police court clerk. Besides
the dungeon display there VA a legs.
lature of pigs and donkeys, and a scene
in which two policemen vainly endeav-
ored TO pull down a side door, while de-
iiant drinkers waved glasses of beer at
them. Another display showed the
state killed by iniudicious laws. The
parade caused great excitement.

New YORK, Feb. 22.-Camillo Stubel,
a stalwart German basso, and Miss
Florence Cullis, a chorus girl, both of
whom sing in THE Kings Fool" at
Niblo's Garden, were married yester-
day by Judge McAdam at the City Hall.
The Judge struggled to recall the exact
words of the Episcopal marriage service
as he asked the groom if he would prom
Use to support his wife in sickness and
in health, and TO love, honor and cher
ish her. Stubel listened patiently to
the question, and then answered in a
deep voice: mo, sir"
All present were ~astounded, and
Judge McAdam said severely: II will
repeat the question: Do you promise
to support this woman in sickness and
in health, and to love, honor and cher
ish her as long as you live?"
mo, sir" said Stubel very emphat-
really.
"Do you understand the English lam
guage,' demanded the Judge.
'Only a leetle, sir" said Stubel.
An interpreter was sent for, and when
he came he explained the question in
German TO Stubel, who was all broken
up when he found that he had unwit-
tingly renowned his bride. The happy
went on their wedding trip over
the Blue Mountains in the second act
Of 1.-The Kings Fool" last night.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Within a few days
a Glue and Cry" with a picture OF John
Graham, the head center of the jury
bribing plot in the Cronin trial, will be
sent to the police authorities OF about
every city in the country as well as in
Mexico. The astounding developments
in the trial of Graham's dupes during
the present week, and during which 1t
was clearly shown. that Graham had
been employed to bring about a miscar-
rage of justice, and that according TO
his own statement, the funds for tins
purpose were to be found by
1.-THE man over at the opera
house building" thus pointing d.
rectly at the ex-chief OF the triangle,
has put the police on their mettle, and
the fat has gone out that Graham Is TO
be captured at n cost. Once he can
be gotten into the tolls il is thought
that information will be forthcoming
that will bring the Cronin murder home
to the original conspirators at whose In
stigation the crime was planned and eX-
ecnted by Coughlin, Burke, Sullivan and
their c~onfederates. The Cronin com
mittee is still in existence, although 1t
is not making any noise, II
il will never be dissolved or cease its
labors until the last vestige Of the mys-
terry that still surrounds the bloody
deed has been cleared away. 1t will go
a long way toward accomplishing this
if Graham can be captured and induced
to tell who employed him 10 set up the
Jury; who furnished the $4,000 that
was available for this purpose, and who
he expected to be dependent upon for
his support during his exile from home

Harrison Not a Lottery Man.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2t.-Although
President Harrison made no sign of APP
probation or disapprobation during the
contest in the North Dakota Legislature
over the lottery bill he was neverthe'
less a close reader of everything pub
lished in connection with the affair,
and how he stands on the matter is in
dicated in the s~emi-oficial statement
which comes from the white house that
no man who who favored the transfer OF
the Louisiana lottery to North Dakota
need expect favorable recognition in
the distribution of federal patronage.
This fiat knocks out a half-dozen promi-
nent ofice-seekers who have been daily
expecting that their names would be
sent in to the senate for one position or

Nearly IA Score of People in Minneapolis
Bitten by q Mad Dog.
MINNEAPoLIs, Feb. GA New
foundland dog belonging to Mrs. st,
John, a lady living in northeast Min
neapolis, has been kept confined in a
dark kennel all winter. The animal be-
came affected at 10 o'clock last night
with what some doctors declare was
rabies. He ran about the streets attack
ing everybody whom he met, biting
fifteen or twenty people, drawing blood
in some cases. Among those attacked
were Mrs. S. Grove, Mrs. Thies,
Thomas Murray, Isaac Butt, William
Anderson, Lizzie Maloney, a man
named Martin and two Scandi-
navians whose names arc unknown.
The dog was first discovered early in
the evening. Officer Clukey saw the
animal and hot at it but missed. The
dog then jumped for his throat, but
Clukey knocked the brute away and
fred again, but missed. The dog then
ran away. Other officers assembled,
together with a crowd of $50 men and
boys, the Newfoundland was finally
cornered in front Of a building, and
while an officer who had emptied his
revolver seized a pitchforll and held the
dog down a perfect fusillade of shots
was fred into the brute, which was
finally killed.

Hesitation of the Lathrop Authorities

Hesitation of the Lathrop Authorities 10
Serve Warrants Upon Women.
ST. JosEpH, Mo-, Feb. 22.-Although
Plattsburg and Cameron ladies have
been threatening to inaugurate a
crusade in those two places against the
saloons, thus far nothing has been done,
and from all that can be learned the
women are not overanxlous 10 DO more
than they have already accomplished.
There was to have been a meeting at
P~lattsburg today to decide upon what
was TO be done, but ii has been
postponed. On account Of the delay
in serving warrants at Lathrop
il IL now believed the prose-
cution has not issued any. The women
now say they will not resist arrest If
the warrants are served, but another
obstacle has appeard in the paths OF
the saloonkeepers which will more
thar likely cause them to abandon the
thought Of entering suits. The mar
Shall of Lathrop is with the ONE n
dares the saloon men to bring a single
suit against any of them. II they at
tempt it, he says, he will have no
trouble in bringing 200 suits against
them for violations Of the law while
their places we're in operation. This
threat of the city marshal has had some
effect, and it is generally believed that
with public sentiment at its height no
court would dare drop n case against
the saloonkeepers.
