Want by Lightning.
- n occurrence of a most lamentpble
- character took place at Seapoint
recently, resulting In the death of
at least four persons, who mp 10 that time
had been in the best of health and spirits,
and endanRering the life Of another.
About half-past eight o'clock some OF the
children Of Mr.James O'Connor OF United
ireland, who resides at Seapoint avenue,
Seapoint Monkstown, brought into their
house a quantity OF mussels which they
had gathered on the strand near Tober-
nea terrace. which Is but n short distance
from their home. MIR. O'Connor was not
there at the time, but the rest of the fam
lily were. and all-his wife, four children,
and a servant named Lizzie Casry-ate

that I'm a very few n they were all
suffering the most acute internal pains
which increased each moment until after
| the arrival Of Mr.. OConnor, who pre-
pared an emetic which he administered
to all. Mrs. OConnor soon passed away
and in a few minute after the three lit
tie girls died. There seems to he not the
faintest shadow OF doubt that the deaths
were the result OF poisoning due To eating
the mussels gathered by the children
along the shore.

was in an instant reduced to absolute
poverty. His ~neighbors have done their
best TO make good his losses, but the dis
