clothing on him bad been burned to ash

LIGHTNING
PLAYS Peculiar Franks During the
Storm Last Night.
The Residence of. J. Santry Struck and
the Inmates More or Less shooked---
Narrow Escape or Young Lady.

The heavy shower OF last evening was
accompanied by great electrical disturb
ance. Flash after flash of lightning dart
ed upward, downward and in every direc'
ton. Street car traffic, what little there
was Of it, was stopped for an hour. The
lightning struck in several places but the
most miraculous escape made, was at the
residence of j. j. Santry, No. 20S North
Plum street.
The north east corner of the house was
struck by the fiery bolt, which followed
the water pipe to the ground. The pipe
was ripped open from the caves to the
ground.
Miss Marian Santry was sitting near a
window upstairs and the lightning passed
down the pipe within short distance Of
her. She was perceptibly shocked and
did not RECEIVERS from the nervousness at
tendant to the experience until late in the
night.
A young son of Mr.. Santry, Frank, was
standing near the door on the back porch.
The pipe which the lightning followed
runs down alongside the porch and the
boy received a violent shock.
The most wonderful escape OF all was
that of Tillie Zuber, who is employed as
domestic at Mr.. Santry's house. The
girl was standing within a foot of the
waterpipe and was knocked backward, a
considerable distance. She did not fall
but reeled into the house and sank down
in a chair. When the bolt struck the
ground the mud flew in every direction.
Miss Zuber and Frank were literally cov-
cred with mud. The force Of the light
ming when it struck the ground removed
huge stone considerable distance.
The damage done to the house will not
amount to a great DEAL the roof being
torn up to some extent and the waterpipe
ruined. There we're seven persons in the
house at the time of the occurrence.

BAD, AwFULLY BAD.
Afraid to Endorse the Mckinley Bill---I.
F. Mack, of Sandusky, Makes q Fight
Against the Atrocious Thing.

(PlaIn Dealer Specially
COLUMBUS, June 16.-Bill Mckinley and
his tariff bill were on trial in the commit
tee on resolutions tonight. The commit
tee organized by the election of Judge
Thompson, of Scioto, chairman, and Col.
L. c. Poorman, of Belmont, secretary.
Each member presented resolutions from
which to construct a platform. Among
these was proposition to indorse in pos
tive terms the Mckinley tariff bill, but
there were number of the members who
feared that II was loaded, and stern op-
position at once sprang up. This create d
a sensation behind the barred doors where
the session was held, and the brethren who
had been bereft of prayer fell to fighting
over their own offspring, the Mckinley
tariff bill.
The opposition to fiat-tooted indorse-
ment was lead by l. E. Mack of Sandusky,
who held a trusteeship at the Sandusky
soldiers home under Foraker. The op-
position would admit Of general indorse-
ment by reafflrming the principles, but
would not hear to special reference to
the measure bearing the name of the COM
ing nominee. Failing to agree on plat
form the labor of bringing forth that
document was reserved to committee Of
five, who will report to the full committee
at 8 o'clock to morrow, when it will be
taken up and considered.
