the best men in the country against him,
and he did good performances In all three
events. The following week, at the fall
games of his club at Travers Island, he met
the winner of the 2eo yard championship
run, A w. S. Cochrane, and ran a dead
heat with him in % 25 seconds. The race
included a sharp turn on tho track and the
time is good On tossing for the event Lee
won.
During the winter he ran at numerous
games held in armories, figuring in nearly
each instance as scratch man In runs from
forty to seventy-fiye yards, He was very
successful and won many medals. His
sudden jump into fame, although a sur
prise to the large majority Of athletes, was
not unlocked for by those who know what
n persistent trainer he Is. He has made n
specially in starts, and although through
the winter he used n style of setting which
most athletes do. since beginning work

Lees expertness at 1t has caused many to
favor 1t again.
After Lee is under way he displays a
long, free stride, with also rather n high
knee action. The latter has probably been
caused by his practicing getting unde
way so much, for at the first part of n
sprint race the knees are elevated higher
than when under full Roadway. No only
has Lees speed improved lately, but his
strength, enabling him to finish out a hard
race and also to stand the strain of many
heats, has struck terror into the hearts OF
his competitors. When he won the recent
go yard championship run Frederick
westing, OF the Manhattan Athletic club,
who had just previously run the 100 yard
run. led Lee until the last fifty yards, when
Lee came on just as steady as though he
had not travelled many yards at n terrible
pace and bore the Manhattan man down.

Struck and burned BY lightning.

Struck and Burned by Lightning.
Living in the southern part of Column
bia county, at 3 small place called Fly
City, resides the family of John Vos-
burgh. Thursday night Mr.. and Mrs
Vosburgh, with their 4year-old child,
retired at 0 o'clock. An infant occupied
the crib neal the bed This is the last
they remember until more than a hour
afterward, when upon returning to o
seriousness it was seen that the clock had
stopped at five minutes past o, and it is as
sumed that electricity entered the dwell
ing at that time.
Mr.. Vosburgh first became conscious
and endeavored to get up, put was I'M
able to do so. In a few minutes he tried
again and took hold of the child, finding
it apparently lifeless. In the meantime
Mrs. Vosburgh had partly recovered,
and finding the room in a sitting condi-
ton crawled to the window and opened
it, and then returned 30 her husband
and child. Mr.. Vosburgh gained sufi-
Gent strength to assist, and they carried
the child into the open air and brought
it to consciousness Neighbors were
called, and by that tina Mrs. Vosburgh
had become exhausted.
Mr.. Vosburgh's night shirt was torn
entirely down the back. The bed was
wrecked. A large hole was burned in a
feather bed, n of the bolts in the bed
stead had disappeared and has not been
found. The child has a sore on the arm
extending from the wrist to the elbow,
having the appearance of being burned,
with a fostering sore in the center. A
hairpin holding Mrs. Vosburgh's hair has
the appearance of being melted. The
infant in the crib wos not disturbed in
any manner. There is no other evidence
of the appearance of electricity in any
part of the house.
1t is a case that battles all theories, and
the work that did it is as unusual as it
is mysterious. The father and child
have practically recovered, but the mo-

TO make PAPER BAGS.
A Zig Enterprise Controlling yaiua-
BILE Inventions About to Sfart.

A paper bag factory will soon be
added to the industries of Roanoke.
The Old Dominion Paper Bag Com
pany, formed here some time ago, has
purchased the old plug tobacco fac
tory at the corner of Franklin and
Second streets at cost of $4,000. The
building has been thoroughly repaired
at cost of 5000, and an elegant office
fitted up on the second floor. The
building is 34x1OO feet, and three
stories high. The machinery will be
placed OH the third floor, and the
second floor will be used as a storage
room
A GO-horse Beck engine, with a
Zell safety boiler, has been put in
place. There will be four of the
+ Diamond Paper Company's improved
machines, with capacity of $50 bags
each per minute. The company has
purchased the right to operate these
machines, which are said to be the
best made, in eleven States, the two
Virginias, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The company has already been
offered $4,000 for the right to oper-
ate in six States.
The shafting is being put in, and
the machinery is expected to arrive
in time for the factory to start up by,
the 18th of September.
Each machine will manufacture
four different sizes of bags, and tn
factory will turn out bags of all sizes
from one.quarter of pound capacity.
to thirty-si pounds. The operatives
of the factory will be mostly young
girls, and about fifteen or twenty will
be employed at first. The prospects
of the factory's financial success are
flattering. The building has been
made first class in every respect, and
the machinery is being put in with
view to permanency. The capital
stock is 100000, and the officers are:
r. H. Day, president and general
manager; Charles Lyle, vice-president;
G. A. Hoffman, secretary; w. II. Lin
sey, treasurer.
1t is probable that the first floor of
the building will be occupied for the
manufacture of electric motors.
A number of Roanoke gentlemen
bought the patent yesterday for So
900, and have secured an option on
the rooms with view to forming
company to manufacture the motors.
If the present plans are carried out,
the power for the motor factory will
be supplied by the engine of the bag
factory. The building is supplied
with an elevator, which will be run
by steam, and has side door, leaving
the first floor entirely separate from
the factory above.
