TAMASESE DEAD.
The Part He Played In the Samoan
Troubles

MELBOURNE. April 2s.-Advices re-
ceived here from Samoa state that ex-
King Tamasese is dead.
He had been suffering from BrightS
disease OF the kidneys for some time
past. and finally succumbed to that
complaint.
Tamasese played prominent part in
the Samoan troubles following the depO-
sition and exile of King Malietoa by the
Germans. TamaSese claimed the throne
and had the active support OF the Ger
man officials on the islands, while the
greater portion OF OF the natives allied
themselves with Mataafa Many bat
ties were fought, and the war was pro-
longed until the United States, Great
Britain and Germany sent vessels TO
Samoa and stopped hostilitieS. The
conference that followed resulted in the
restoration of Malietoa.

Special telegram 10 ne Register.
WAsHINGroN, PA, April 2S.-Elec-
tricity cut some queer caperS in and
around a barn of ex-County Commission
er Hawkins near this city, yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Hawkins was at the house when
without seeing any lightning, he heard
a loud report, which was Immediately
followed by one of his horses bursting
out OF the stable door. He ran to the
stable expecting to find young man,
whom he knew was in the stable, dead, g,
but met him at the door uninjured.
Another horse was down and apparent
ly dead, but finally recovered. A
neighbor saw the bolt strike the
barn at the comb OF the roof,
and further examination showed
that the current had in some mysterious
way gotten under the roof without leav-
Ing a trace at the place Of entrance.
Immediately after entering, however,
Ii had run down beam, struck brace
and shot through large now OF hay
without ignting single straw. Little
rivuetS and eddieS Of the fluid had shot
of from the main current and played
prankS all about the inside OF the barn.
One had Jumped from plank to the
point OF the buggy shaft and thrown a
splinter therefrom onto the cushioned
seat. Another had shot down the
side of the granary on the in
side, burSted the door from it's hinges
and scattered door and grain over
the harm floor. Again, another had
caught on the point Of fork, charred
a groove down the handle, and jumped
from thence into some old barrels and
played havoc with their contents, No
ordinary experience with lightning
would give one any idea OF the multitu-
diuouS rush Of independent miniature
explosions which the inside Of that old
barn disclosed Fortunately, it was not
ignited anywhere. If it had all would
have been lost, as the mowS were full of
dry hay aud Mr.. Hawkins insurance
had expired few days before.
