Destructio by Electric Storms.

One of the results of so much excess
lively hot weather in Maine this summer,
has been an uncommon frequency of
electrical disturbance and an unusual
amount of damage by lightning. In
Maine, the number of buildings ignited
and destroyed by the electric fluid has
been unprecedented, and the same is
true of other northern states. There
are certain localities that always suffer
more from the effects of lightning than
others, and they are those situated in
the vicinity of ponds or lakes, for
showers generally follow along the
water lines, and often seem to be
diverted from their course as they
approach pond OF chain of ponds

in diameter, and a great many persons
were injured before they found shelter.
For half an hour business was suspend

being perilous and almost impossible,
while the noise Of the pelting hail pre-
vented indoor labor. There was gen.
eral stampede throughout the city, and
for time it seemed as though great ruin
would result. The rain fell in torrents,
the streets were soon flooded and the
ground was white with the heavy mug
gets of frozen water. Several heavy
bolts of thunder added alarm to the
situation, but at o'clock the storm had
passed away. Trees were almost de-
nuded Of leaves and great numbers of
window lights were broken. Telephone
wires were badly damaged. Numerous
runawavs have been reported, the
horses becoming frightened at the hail,
and one driver on Rice Street was seri-
ously injured by fall. The lightning
struck in several parts of the city dur
ing the hail storm, but did but little

they were taken.
It was late in the afternoon when the
warrants, based on the information of
Chief Justice PaXson, reached Home
stead and were placed in the hands Of
the officers to serve. They started at 8
O'Clock, and Dierkin was hurried to the
provost guards tent. The others were
caught in quick succession before the
strikers had time to realize what was
happening, and the prisoners were
speeded to prison tents.
An alarm was given ana many strikers
fastened toward the guard, but were
held back and denied all information.
It was intended first to keep the pris-
oners all night and hunt for the others,
but through fear of an attempt to res
cue them they were taken to the city

taken to Pittsburg at IL o'clock al d

A JEALOUS CONSPIRACY.

doing San Domingo.
New YORK, Oct. 3.-A curious story
about the United States and reciprocity
was put in circulation in this city
yesterday. The governments Of
Great Britain, Germany and Italy,
so the story ran, had observed
with burning jealousy the great
advantages which the Americans were
reaping from the reciprocity treaty
with San Domingo, and had entered into
a common conspiracy to destroy that
treaty.
Just what part Great Britain and
Italy had taken or will take in these
manmuvers was not quite plain, as it
was given out yesterday, but the deeds
of Germany were indisputably set forth.
Germany, it appeared, had offered to
Ulises Hureaux, President of San Do
mingo. an annual bribe Of $4,000 for
life if he would declare the reciprocity
treaty with the United States abro-
gated.
1T is true" said the Dominican con-
sui here, "that countries mentioned
have made demand in San Domingo,
in which they claim that, under a
clause to be found in former treaties,
each is entitled to receive all the
favors from San Domingo that are
or may be extended to the most favored
nation. That being the case San Do
mingo was naturally alarmed. The at
titude of Germany was espe-
cially dangerous. All our tobac-
co trade is with Hamburg, where
we were threatened with duty that
would have been fatal to our business.
For England and Italy we did not care
SO much. Still, if we should be COM
PEELED to accede to the demands of the

States would reimpose the sugar duties.
