THREE WERE KILLED
Fatal Accident to Woodstock
College SchOlastics.
STRUCK DOWN BY LIGHTNING.
The Deaths Occurred in the DOrmitory of
an Old Villa.

During Terrible Storm They Were Gath
cred About One of the Beds - when
the Bolt Came They Wore Hurled in
Different Directions Several of the
Students Rendered Unconscious.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July CD uring a
terrific thunderstorm at st. Inigoes villa,
in St. Mary's county, this State, lightning
killed the following students OF Wood
took Colleges:
Holden, William. -.,A -.
Lamb, John B.
Walters, James.
The deaths occurred Yin an old villa
which is occupied every summer by pro-
fessors and students from Woodstock
College.
The house is on a bluff overlooking the
Potomac and st. Mary's rivers and forms
a beautiful summer retreat.
Just one week previous to the catas-
trophe nearly 100 students and profess
sors went to St. Inigoes for the annual
holiday, taking with them baseball out
fits, fishing tackle and hammooks to en-
Joy the holiday. While the thunder
storm was prevailing the students re-
tired to their rooms.
A number of them, including those
who were killed, went to the dormitory
on the top floor There II was discovered
that esroof had begun to leak, and the
water was dropping on some of the beds.
In moving the beds to a dryer place
number of students became grouped in
the centre of the room around one of
the cots. They were discussing the best
place to put It when the fatal stroke of
lightning came, preceded by terrible
crash OF thunder.
The group about the cot were hurled
In different directions. Besides the three
who were killed the others were injured
and rendered unconscious. The exact
condition Of the injured could not be
learned last night on account of the re-
mote situation of the scene of the occur
rences and lack Of telegraphic commu-
nication.
One of the injured Is Mr.. Railley, whose
home is at Leonardtown. He was thrown
down stairs by the force OF the shock,
and at first it was thought he had been
killed.
The building itself was damaged by
the stroke, the roof being torn in places
and the walls cracked and twisted.

A regular patrol was established along

GLOVER FOR HENS.

1t Stimulates Egg Production and Is an
Excellent Tonic.
LAYING hens should have all the Glow
err they can eat twice day during the
winter. 1t is bulky, so there is no
danger of their eating too much, as
there is of grain. Cut the clover into
half-inch lengths and seald with just
enough water to answer the purpose.
Fill the troughs with it so each hen
can get all it wants, but remove all
that remains after the last hen walks
away Don't feed wet food to poultry;
it may be moist, but not wet. A pound
of clover hay chopped fine is enough to
feed 40 hens so far as the bulk is con-
cerned. it is also an aid to digcsting
grain which may be added. To make
it more palatable sprinkle little bran
over the clover aud feed whole grain.
A good ration can also be made by
mixing / pound of clover, l pound OF
bran, ounces of dried meat that is
lean and ounces of linseed meal.
Wheat or corn can be fed at night
Such ration viii supply the white,
yolk shell and warmth. 1t is also "A
good plan to have some other litter in
which little grain is thrown so as to
induce the hens to exercise during the
daytime There is no surer sign that
the food for laying hens lacks GER

the food that you are giving and read
lily eat something else. This is the rea.
son why hens will sometimes refuse
corn and eat wheat, and, after a little
time, change back again. 1t IS always
a good plan to change the food entirely
every few days and there is nothing
which pays better than variety. A
few beans cooked and thickened with
bran or middlings makes good change
occasionally. Sunflower seed also fed

that the white pine saw-fly, L0phyrus

Spraying the tree with the arsenites,

recommended. and these in every case
quickly destroyed the destroyers. ="
